Renovations in the centre, blocks in Widzew and Bałuty

The tenements in central Łódź are renovated one after another, and renovation often starts with emptying the flat. What's left behind is old furniture, a cellar full of things from years ago and appliances nobody wants. The catalogue has clearing a flat, cellar or attic, plus separate disposal of furniture and electronics. Write down what moves on and what gets taken away.

In Widzew and Bałuty, moves usually mean blocks of flats. The question there is whether the lift will take a fridge, and whether there's a lift at all. If you live high up with no lift, the movers will add a charge for carrying up the stairs. It's also worth reserving a spot by the entrance for the van, because parking and waiting time can be a separate item in the offer too.

Questions about moving in Łódź

I want to take some things and throw out the rest. How do I describe that?

Make two lists in one job: what goes to the new address and what gets taken away. Add photos to the second one. The movers will price both parts, and you'll see in the offer what each one costs.

What should I look at when comparing offers in Łódź?

The full amount including travel, van waiting time and the charge for floors. The price list on the site has ranges calculated for Warsaw, so in Łódź it's only a guide; what counts is the contractor's offer.

I've got old paint and solvents in the cellar. Will the movers take them?

Hazardous waste collection, meaning paint and chemicals, is a separate service in the catalogue. Say what's in the cellar and how much. Don't throw it in a rubble skip or a bag of ordinary rubbish.

What's the minimum job value?

300 zł. If you're only getting rid of one piece of furniture, add another one or have something carried into its new place. The invoice comes from the contractor.
