Answers to the most common questions about moving and our services. Can't find an answer? Call 045 787 09921.
How much does a move cost?
In the Helsinki metropolitan area, home moves are priced by the hour: from 90 €/h with two movers and a light truck, or 80 €/h with one mover. The minimum charge is 2.5 hours. For longer distances we give a fixed project price that is always calculated from the size of the move – for example Helsinki–Tampere from 800 €. The final price depends on the size of the home, the volume of belongings, carrying distances and the schedule.
What is included in the price of a move?
Every move includes furniture and floor protection, a light truck and professional movers. If needed, we also offer packing services, furniture disassembly and assembly, and waste transport for an additional fee.
In which areas does Kantovoima operate?
We serve the entire Helsinki metropolitan area: Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa, as well as the rest of Uusimaa. We also handle longer moves at a fixed price, for example to Tampere, Turku, Lahti and Jyväskylä.
Is your business insured?
Yes. Our operations are fully insured and we handle your belongings with the utmost care. We protect furniture and floors during every move.
Can I rent moving boxes?
Yes. We rent durable plastic moving boxes: 20 boxes for 80 €, 40 boxes for 95 €, 60 boxes for 110 €, 80 boxes for 125 € and 100 boxes for 140 €. The price includes delivery and pickup in the Helsinki metropolitan area and 7 days of use. Extra days 0.20 € per box.
Do you also provide final cleaning?
Yes. Final cleaning can be ordered together with your move or separately, starting from 219 €. You will receive an itemised invoice for the cleaning work for the Finnish household tax credit.
Do you install washing machines during the move?
Yes. Washing machine installation costs 60 € and a washer-dryer tower installation 80 €. The price includes disconnection, seals, clamps and an installation certificate.
How quickly will I receive a quote?
Fill in the quote request form on our website and we will contact you as soon as possible. For urgent matters, you can reach us at 045 787 09921. We accept the most common payment cards and cash.
How long does a move take?
With a two-person team, a studio move in the Helsinki region typically takes about 2.5 hours, a two-room flat 3.5 to 4 hours and a three-room flat about 5 hours when a lift is available and carrying distances are reasonable. Stairs without a lift, long carrying distances and unpacked items extend the move; a third mover shortens it by roughly a quarter.
How do I prepare for moving day?
Pack and close the boxes in advance, empty drawers and cupboards, and make sure the moving truck has a parking spot near the door. Tell us the floors, lift size and largest furniture in your quote request so we can size the team and time correctly. Our step-by-step moving checklist (in Finnish) walks through the whole preparation week by week.
