LocalMovers.ie cover local Dublin moves, inter-county relocations across Ireland, and long-distance or international removals by arrangement.

Typical moving hours are 8am to 7pm Monday to Saturday, with Sunday moves available by special request.

Book at least 4–6 weeks ahead during busy periods (summer and month-end) to secure your preferred date and time.

They combine competitive pricing with high professionalism, local expertise and reliable, friendly service tailored to your needs.

Pack non-essentials, confirm details with your movers, notify utilities, and book time off work if needed.

August and July are notably dearer, as most people move in the summer when prices spike.

Traditionally, Friday is busy and sometimes avoided to dodge congestion and higher prices. Some avoid Tuesdays for superstition!

Usually by midday for house sales, but always confirm with both movers and the estate agent. Earlier is better to avoid last-minute stress.

Local lore often picks Thursdays or Fridays for good luck, but honestly, the best day is the day everything goes smoothly!

Leave manuals, spare keys, and any fixtures agreed in the sale; new owners will appreciate the thoughtfulness.

January and September are quieter, meaning you may snag a better rate these months.

Sundays are cheapest, followed by Wednesdays—avoid Fridays and weekends if budget is tight.

Finish packing, label everything, keep hallways clear, unplug appliances, and reserve parking for the truck.

Cancel or transfer utilities, broadband, bins, post, and any local services or papers before you go.

Usually, heavier items and furniture go first to create a stable load, then boxes on top.

Three to four weeks out: start slow, do a little daily, and leave a suitcase for last-minute essentials.

Confirm your booking with the movers, then start gathering packing materials.

On average, moving a house in Ireland runs €1,500–€4,000 depending on distance, size, and services required.

The kitchen—due to breakables, appliances, and many small bits.

One or two days for the average home, longer if you’ve a lot to sort or kids “helping”.

Always boxes for ease of stacking and carrying—bags shift and burst open too easily.

Boxes, tape, labels, marker, scissors, kettle, and a good playlist for the work.

Offload bulky furniture, unused gadgets, excess decor, and outgrown clothes to lighten your load and boost your budget.

A standard 3-bed home may use 40–60 boxes; always get extra for last-minute bits.

For a standard local move, expect to pay between €300 and €1,200 depending on house size and distance; larger jobs or cross-country moves can run higher.
