Trusted handyman movers for your international move
Professional disassembly before transport and careful reassembly at destination.
At origin and destination
An international move involves more than transporting boxes from one home to another. From consultation and inventory to packing, customs, transport and delivery, every step is carefully planned. In some cases, preparing a home for relocation requires more than packing alone, such as the disassembly of furniture to ensure safe and efficient transport. That is where our handyman services come in.
Handyman support can be arranged before packing, on moving day or after delivery in your new home. We ensure the right expertise is in place at the right moment.
Planning ahead
During your home survey, simply inform your relocation consultant about:
- Built-in furniture
- Mounted items
- Large wardrobes or custom pieces
- Any installations you are unsure about
We will assess the scope of work and include any recommended handyman services clearly in your quotation. We believe transparent planning leads to a well-coordinated move.
What is included in a standard moving service?
Our moving crews are specialists in packing, protecting, loading and delivering your household goods safely.
As part of preparing items for transport, they handle small, practical dismantling tasks when required. For example, to pack a light fixture securely, a bulb may need to be unscrewed first. Table legs may be removed to ensure safe wrapping. Bed frames may be taken apart to allow proper loading.
These types of adjustments are part of normal move preparation. However, moving crews operate on a defined schedule and are equipped primarily for packing and logistics, not extended technical work.
When additional support is recommended
During some moves, tasks arise that go beyond basic dismantling.
For instance, a large wardrobe may need to be fully dismantled because it cannot be transported safely in one piece. Built-in units may require careful removal. Wall-mounted items may need specialised tools and additional time.
In these cases, we recommend deploying a dedicated handyman.
A handyman has:
- The appropriate tools
- The time allocated specifically for technical work
- The experience to handle more complex dismantling or reinstallation
This allows our packing team to focus entirely on protecting and packing your belongings efficiently, while technical work is handled separately and professionally.
Why we clarify this in advance
Moving standards differ internationally. In some countries, customers expect crews to dismantle nearly everything. In others, only minimal disassembly is standard.
At Gosselin, we believe clarity prevents misunderstandings.
Rather than relying on assumptions, we assess your home during the consultation and identify where handyman support may be beneficial. This ensures realistic expectations, no last-minute adjustments or delays on moving day which results in a smoother relocation experience.
