Packers and Movers in Rajakilpakkam, Chennai
Shifting your house in Rajakilpakkam? We pack, load, move and unpack household goods for families in Rajakilpakkam, Selaiyur, Sembakkam, Gowrivakkam and the Camp Road side of Tambaram. A local 1 BHK move usually works out to ₹4,000 to ₹7,000, and you get the full break-up in writing before the shifting day.
Most homes here sit on small cross streets off Velachery Main Road or Madambakkam High Road, and a full-size container can't always reach the gate. So before giving a price, we ask for the floor, lift details and a quick video of the lane. If a big truck can't get in, we plan a smaller pickup vehicle and tell you the extra cost upfront, not on the day.

Shifting Within Rajakilpakkam (600073): What to Know Before Moving Day
Rajakilpakkam comes under the Tambaram City Municipal Corporation and shares the 600073 PIN code with Selaiyur and Gowrivakkam. It is mostly a residential area, with a mix of independent houses, small apartment blocks of 8 to 20 flats, and a few larger gated communities towards Madambakkam. For a 2 BHK flat, the furniture volume, stairs and lift size matter more than the room count alone.
Roads and traffic
The main road through the area is Velachery Main Road. It gets packed in the morning and evening, especially near Camp Road junction and Samiyar Madam. Plan loading around peak traffic and your apartment’s moving hours, especially for a cross-city trip towards Velachery, Guindy or OMR.
If roadwork or a diversion affects your street, share the approach details before pickup so the team can plan where to park and load.
Narrow lanes and gated colonies
Inner streets in areas like Ranga Colony, Mahalakshmi Nagar, Maruthy Nagar and Kamarajapuram are often too tight for a 17 or 20 ft container to turn. In such cases we park the big vehicle on the main road and bring goods out using a Tata Ace or similar small vehicle. For apartment blocks, please check with your association or the watchman about lift booking, gate pass and the timing they allow for shifting. Each association may have different moving hours.
Rain and the lake side
Rajakilpakkam Lake is right in the middle of the locality, and a few low-lying streets around it collect water during the northeast monsoon (roughly October to December). If you are shifting in these months, keep a backup date in mind. We carry plastic sheets and stretch film to cover sofas, mattresses and cartons, but if the road is flooded we would rather shift the date by a day than push through and risk your things.

Why Families in Rajakilpakkam Call Us
We look at your lane before quoting
A price given on the phone without knowing the street is mostly a guess. We ask for a short video of the gate, staircase and lane, so the quote already covers a smaller vehicle or extra carrying if it is needed.
Everything written down
Packing, labour, vehicle, unloading, any dismantling and any extras are listed separately in the quote. If something is not in writing, please ask us before you book.
Same supervisor from start to end
One person from our side stays with your move, from packing at your old house till the last carton is placed at the new one. You will have their number on the day.
Help with society rules
Tell us your association's timings and lift rules, and we will plan the crew around them. Wherever needed, we put padding inside the lift and on door frames.
Office, Shop, Bike and Car Shifting From Rajakilpakkam
Small office and shop shifting
Along Velachery Main Road and Camp Road there are many clinics, tuition centres, small offices and shops. For these we usually shift on a Sunday or after closing time so your work is not affected. Number your desks, chairs and CPU units, and keep your IT person ready for the network and server part. See our office shifting in Chennai page for details.
Bike transport from Rajakilpakkam
If you are moving to another city, we can pack your two-wheeler with foam, bubble wrap and cardboard and send it along with your household goods or separately. Follow the transporter’s fuel-level instructions, and give us a copy of the RC and insurance. Remove helmets, side boxes and any loose accessories and pack them separately.
Car transport
Cars are moved on a car carrier truck. Before handover we take photos of the car from all sides along with you, and note the odometer reading. Remove valuables and personal documents before handover, and discuss FASTag handling with the transporter.
Storage while your new house gets ready
Sometimes the new flat isn't ready on time, or you are going abroad for a few months. We can keep your goods packed in our storage facility in Chennai on a monthly basis. Ask for the charges and the inventory list in writing.
Moving From Rajakilpakkam to Another City
Many people in this area work in IT companies on OMR, so job transfers to Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune are very common. For a full 2 or 3 BHK, a dedicated truck is usually better, since your goods are not unloaded and reloaded on the way. For a 1 BHK or a few items, a shared truck saves money but takes a few extra days.
Popular routes from here: Chennai to Bangalore, Chennai to Hyderabad, Chennai to Pune, Chennai to Mumbai, Chennai to Delhi and Chennai to Kolkata. If your company is paying for the move, tell us the format they need for the bill and we will share the invoice accordingly.
Prepare Your Household Before Moving Day
Packing and furniture preparation
Before the survey, sell or donate belongings you no longer need so the moving list reflects what will actually travel.
List furniture, appliances, cartons and fragile items for the survey. Discuss bubble wrap, foam, corrugated sheets and sturdy cartons according to each item; ask whether a delicate piece needs a separate crate. Confirm dismantling and refitting for beds and wardrobes before the crew arrives.
Keep jewellery, medicines, keys and original documents with you. Label cartons by room and keep a separate first-night bag.
From survey to delivery
Start with a home or video survey, then keep the agreed inventory and written estimate. Arrange building permission, lift access and loading space at both addresses. Check the packing list before loading and match delivered items against it before signing the handover.
Agree on unloading, unpacking and furniture placement in advance. If you choose transit insurance, read the issued policy, exclusions, declared value and claim procedure.

Posting Moves and Ground-Floor House Planning
Moving out of quarters near Camp Road
If you are moving after a posting or job transfer, share the expected vacating date and receiving contact before fixing the truck. Check entry permission, crew details and vehicle requirements with the quarters office or building management.
Leave enough time between loading and the handover inspection. Ask your employer which invoice, packing list and transport receipt details are needed, then confirm what the moving team can provide. Reimbursement depends on your employer's rules.
Check the new home before a rainy-day move
For a ground-floor house near the lake side, ask the owner about previous water entry and inspect the entrance, drainage and unloading space. Check the actual street condition close to moving day instead of relying only on the main road being clear.
Keep cartons away from damp floors and ask about a dry unloading area. If access becomes unsafe, discuss a revised slot or temporary storage before dispatch, including extra handling and redelivery charges.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house shifting in Rajakilpakkam cost?
Within about 15 km, a 1 BHK is usually ₹4,000 to ₹7,000, a 2 BHK ₹7,000 to ₹12,000 and a 3 BHK ₹12,000 to ₹19,000. The final amount depends on the number of items, floor and lift, and whether a smaller vehicle is needed for your street.
My street is very narrow. Can the truck still come?
Yes, we manage this regularly here. If a container can't enter, it waits on the main road and a smaller vehicle like a Tata Ace brings goods from your gate. The extra cost for this is shown in the quote itself.
Do you shift within Rajakilpakkam itself, like from one street to the next?
Yes. Short moves inside Rajakilpakkam, Selaiyur or Sembakkam are common. These are cheaper because the vehicle time is less, but packing and labour remain almost the same.
Is it okay to shift during the rainy season?
It is, with some planning. We cover furniture and cartons with plastic and stretch film. If your street near the lake gets waterlogged, we will check with you a day before and move the date if needed.
Will you dismantle and fix the cot, wardrobe and modular furniture?
Yes, our carpenter can open and refit beds, wardrobes and dining tables. Tell us which items need this while taking the quote, so it is included in the price.
Do you disconnect the AC, washing machine and RO?
We can arrange a technician for AC uninstallation and reinstallation at extra cost. Washing machine and RO units we can disconnect and pack. Please tell us in advance.
How early should I book?
For a local move, 3 to 5 days ahead is usually fine. Month-end dates and weekends fill up faster, so book a little earlier for those, and earlier still for an intercity move.
What documents are needed for shifting to another state?
Generally, keep an ID proof, the new address, the packing list and the lorry receipt with you. For a bike or car, keep the RC, insurance and PUC copies. Share the inventory before booking so any additional paperwork for business or new goods can be checked.
Is transit insurance compulsory?
No, it is optional. If you take it, read the policy to see what is covered, what is not, and how to claim. The premium depends on the insurer and the value you declare.
What items will you not carry?
We don't carry gas cylinders, petrol or diesel cans, firecrackers, cash, jewellery or perishable food. Keep jewellery, important papers and laptops with you in a separate bag.
Can I change the shifting date after booking?
Yes, inform us as early as you can. A new date depends on crew and vehicle availability, so call us on 7015580411 the moment your plan changes.
Where is your office? Do you have one in Rajakilpakkam?
Our office is in Senneerkuppam, Chennai. We serve Rajakilpakkam and the Tambaram–Selaiyur side; call to arrange an available home survey slot.
What should I confirm for a posting move from quarters?
Check the vacating date, handover inspection, entry permission and receiving contact. Ask your employer for its document requirements and confirm the invoice, packing list and transport receipt available from the mover before booking.
How do I plan unloading at a ground-floor house during rain?
Check the approach street and ask the owner about past water entry. Arrange a dry unloading space and keep cartons off damp floors. If access is unsafe, agree on a revised delivery slot or available storage, including charges, before dispatch.
