This service focuses on carrying one or a few heavy items up or down stairs in Paris, rather than carrying out a complete apartment move.
Carry heavy furniture upstairs without a lift
A sofa, wardrobe, dresser, bed, table or other bulky piece of furniture can be difficult to move through a Paris staircase. The item itself and the available access need to be considered before the job.
Carry appliances up the stairs
Requests can also involve a refrigerator, washing machine, tumble dryer or another heavy appliance. The floor, staircase, landings and available passage are important when assessing the job.
Carry a heavy item downstairs
The service can also involve bringing furniture or an appliance down from an apartment. Tell us the floor, type of item and any access difficulties between the apartment and the building entrance.
- the item or items to be carried;
- the floor;
- whether there is a lift and whether the item fits inside it;
- stairs, landings, turns and narrow passages;
- whether the item can be dismantled;
- parking and carrying distance.
Handling only or handling with transport
The item may already be inside the building or at the bottom of the stairs. In that case, the request can be for handling only. If the item also needs to be collected from another address, mention the transport requirement in your request.
Why staircase access matters
Weight is not the only consideration. Tight turns, narrow doors, short landings or restricted headroom can make an item difficult or impossible to carry through a staircase. Access therefore needs to be assessed before the job.

2. The floor
