Movers in St Thomas, Ontario

Families, renters and retirees all keep our crews busy in St. Thomas, the Elgin County seat that grew by about a tenth between the last two censuses. Roughly one in four residents is a recent arrival from elsewhere in Ontario, so we spend as much time moving people into the city as across it.

St. Thomas movers for a growing city just south of London

About two in three homes in St. Thomas are detached houses, so most of our jobs here are full households with bedrooms upstairs, a basement below and a garage or shed to empty. Much of the city's housing is older, built long before the recent growth, which means narrow stairs, tight landings and doorways where we take furniture apart rather than force it. Homes from the recent growth years tend to be easier to work in, with wider halls and straighter stairs. Low-rise apartment buildings and semis fill out the mix, and with about one in three households renting, apartment moves and lease-end jobs are a steady part of our work in the city.

Highway 4 is the main link to London and Highway 401, and it carries most of our trucks to and from St. Thomas. Winters here are cold and snowy, so for a winter move we ask that driveways, steps and walkways be cleared and salted, and we lay down floor runners to keep slush off your floors. Spring and summer are the busiest seasons, especially for families timing a move around school, and newly built homes add closing dates that can shift with construction. Turnover is high in a growing city, so booking as soon as your date is firm gives you the widest choice.

Our crews work throughout St. Thomas, from the older streets around downtown Talbot Street to the newer homes built during the city's recent growth. We also move households across Elgin County, including Central Elgin, Southwold, Aylmer, Malahide, Dutton-Dunwich and Bayham, and between St. Thomas and London, which is only roughly 24 km away. For a move toward the GTA, Toronto sits roughly 176 km up the highway, and we also handle long-distance moves to other provinces.
