A Move as Individual as You

Home Removals

Rossouw Removals has been moving homes for more than 10 years. We know that everyone of our customers has different needs, which is why no two moves are ever the same. 

Each and every home & furniture move is personalised to suit your needs, timescale and budget.

From busy city apartments to large family homes and office spaces, our experienced team will offer a fully personalised service whether you are moving locally, nationally or internationally, all backed by 5 Star positive Google reviews from satisfied customers across the Western Cape.

Clear, Transparent Pricing from the Start

Access conditions such as stairs, parking restrictions, long carry distances, or waiting time can affect a move.

These details are always discussed and confirmed before moving day to avoid unexpected charges.

What Is Included in

Our Home Removals Service

We keep pricing transparent. Here’s what is included in a standard home removal and what can be added depending on your move – so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Professional Packing

Our experienced team carefully packs household belongings using appropriate protective materials to help minimise the risk of damage during transport.

Furniture Protection

Furniture is wrapped using professional protective materials including moving blankets, bubble wrap, cling wrap and specialised coverings for mattresses and upholstered furniture. Fragile and valuable items receive additional protection where required, with custom wooden boxes available for selected high-value items.

Loading and Transportation

Every item is carefully loaded and secured before transport begins. Our enclosed trailers help protect furniture from the elements while reducing unnecessary movement during transit.

Furniture Placement

Once your belongings arrive, furniture is unloaded and positioned in the appropriate rooms, helping you settle into your new home more efficiently. Where furniture has been dismantled before transport, reassembly can also be accommodated where required.

Secure Storage

If your moving dates don't align, your belongings can be transferred directly into one of our secure storage facilities until your new home is ready. Rather than coordinating separate removals and storage companies, Rossouw Removals manages the entire process for you.

Goods in Transit Insurance

Every move is supported by Goods in Transit insurance of up to R200,000, providing additional peace of mind while your belongings are being transported.

Areas We Cover in the Western Cape

Rossouw Removals provides professional office and business relocation services across Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl, the Cape Winelands, Overberg, the West Coast, Garden Route, and the Northern Cape. With strategically located operating bases, we support businesses relocating throughout the Western Cape and beyond, delivering reliable long-distance removals anywhere in South Africa.

How our Home Removal Process works

Step 1 — Quote & Inventory

We build a clear inventory of what's being moved, so your quote reflects your actual move rather than a rough guess.

Step 2 — Packing

Your belongings are packed and protected using the right materials for each item - as much or as little help as you'd like.

Step 3 — Loading

Our crew loads carefully into our enclosed and closed trailers, ready for transport.

Step 4 — Transport

Your belongings travel to your new address - locally or long-distance - with the same care either way.

Step 5 — Delivery & Placement

Furniture is unloaded and placed in the rooms you specify at your new home.

Step 6 — Storage, If You Need It

If your new home isn't quite ready, your belongings can go into one of our four secure storage facilities until you are.

How Much do Home Removals Cost

The cost of home removals in Stellenbosch, Paarl and Upington areas depending on several key factors rather than a fixed price list. If you’d like a detailed breakdown of how removal costs are calculated, see our guide on home removal costs in London.

Every home move is different, which is why we provide tailored quotes based on your specific requirements.

The final cost is influenced by:

  • the size of your property and volume of belongings
  • distance between locations
  • access conditions such as stairs, lifts, or parking restrictions
  • additional services like packing, furniture dismantling, or recycling
  • handling of heavy or fragile items

To avoid hidden charges, we assess all these factors in advance and provide a clear, transparent quote before your moving day. This ensures you know exactly what is included in the price and what optional services may affect the final cost.

Packing Services for Home Removals

Packing is often the most time-consuming part of a home move. Our professional packing services are designed to protect your belongings and save you time on moving day.

We carefully pack household items, furniture, and fragile belongings using suitable packing materials to reduce the risk of damage during transport. This service can be added to your home removal as a full packing solution or for specific items only.

Rossouw Removals uses professional packing techniques and quality protective materials to help reduce the risk of damage throughout loading, transport and unloading.

Depending on your move, protection may include:

  • Bubble wrap
  • Moving blankets
  • Cling wrap
  • Mattress protection
  • Couch protection
  • Specialist wrapping for fragile items
  • Custom wooden crates for selected valuable items

Every item receives the level of protection appropriate to its size, weight and fragility, helping ensure it arrives safely at your new home.

Furniture Recycling and Disposal During the Move

Moving home is often the right moment to get rid of furniture or items you no longer need. Instead of transporting unwanted belongings to a new place, we can arrange recycling and responsible disposal as part of your home removal.

This service helps reduce clutter, save time on moving day, and keep the process organised. Items are handled safely and disposed of or recycled where possible, so you don’t have to deal with multiple contractors or extra trips after the move.

By combining removal and disposal into one process, your move becomes simpler, cleaner, and more convenient.

Home Removals vs Man and Van - What’s the Difference?

Home removals suit full household moves where planning, protection, and professional handling matter. This service works best when you move an entire home – including furniture, appliances, and multiple boxes – and want one team to manage the whole process from start to finish.

Man and van services suit smaller moves. People usually choose this option to move a few items, single pieces of furniture, or for student relocations. The focus stays on transport rather than a fully managed move.

If you plan a complete home move and want everything handled in one process, choose home removals. If you only need to move a small load, a man and van service may fit better.

Home Removal Checklist Before Moving Day

Proper preparation helps your move go smoothly. Before moving day, make sure access to the property is clear, parking is arranged where possible, and essential items are easy to reach.

Check stairways and entry points, set aside documents and valuables, and prepare keys and first-day essentials in advance. This helps avoid delays and unnecessary waiting time during your home removal.

If you’d like a more detailed step-by-step guide, read our article on how to prepare for a move in before your moving day.

Storage Solutions

If there's a gap between your old home and your new one - a delayed move-in date, a downsize, or a renovation - secure storage is built into the same quote as your move, not a separate arrangement with a separate company. It's one of the reasons people search for a moving company with secure storage facilities in the first place: household removals with storage included, handled by one accountable team.

  • Secure storage facilities in Stellenbosch, protected by 24/7 AI-monitored surveillance and an on-site security team
  • Both self-access and fully managed options, depending on how you'd like to use your space
  • Short-term or long-term storage, from a few weeks to much longer
  • Container sizes from a compact 7.5 m² Half 6m Container through to a 30 m² 12m Container, with transparent monthly pricing

See our full Storage Services page for detailed sizes, pricing and how storage works.

It depends on the volume of your move, the distance involved, and how much packing help you’d like. We build your quote from an actual inventory, so it reflects your specific move rather than a generic estimate or a national average.

Every Rossouw move is covered by R200,000 Goods-in-Transit insurance.
