Movers in Langley, BC

Moving in Langley depends on which Langley: the Township is mostly houses, townhouse complexes and acreages, while the City of Langley is mostly low-rise apartments. We plan for both, from long driveways and the Township's lane rules to apartment moves in the City. Locally owned, with better labour prices than the big franchises, no hidden fees, and we answer our own phones.

Moving in Langley: what to know

Langley is two municipalities with very different homes. In the 2021 Census, the Township of Langley was 48% single-detached houses and 22% row houses, and only 18% of its households rented. The City of Langley was the opposite: 59% of its homes were in low-rise apartment buildings, and 37% of households rented. Across both, about 20,000 residents had moved in the year before.

So a Langley move might be a Willoughby townhouse, a Walnut Grove or Murrayville house with a full garage, an acreage with outbuildings, or a City apartment around Willowbrook. Many are families moving out from closer to Vancouver, which makes the drive between homes part of the plan.

Homes and buildings: moving day in Langley

Townhouse complexes. In Willoughby and Walnut Grove there's no loading bay, and visitor parking is the limit. Tell us where a truck can legally stop and how far that is from your door.

Houses. Murrayville, Brookswood and Fort Langley have mature lots, real driveways and full garages. Tell us what's in the garage and the shed, not just the house.

Acreage. Long, gravel or soft driveways through Milner, Salmon River and Campbell Valley decide which truck fits, and barns and workshops often sit well back from the road. Tell us in advance so we bring the right vehicle.

City apartments. Willowbrook and the City centre have low-rise rental buildings; tell us the floor and whether there's an elevator.

What every Langley move includes

  • Moving blankets and plastic wrap for furniture, dollies and straps for heavy pieces, and floor protection.
  • Beds, tables and other furniture taken apart where needed and put back together at the new place.
  • A crew sized to your home: usually 2 movers for a studio or one-bedroom, 3 for two or three bedrooms, and 4 for larger homes.
  • No travel fee, and no extra charge for stairs, a long carry or a building without an elevator.
  • Moves 7 days a week. A few days' notice is usually enough.
  • Boxes and supplies for sale: cardboard and wardrobe boxes, mattress and TV covers, tape, packing paper and bubble wrap.
  • Storage if there's a gap between moving out and moving in.
  • Anything you're not taking hauled away in the same booking.

As a rough guide, a one-bedroom move takes 3 to 4 hours, a two-bedroom 4 to 6 hours and a three-bedroom 6 to 9 hours. If you need to cancel a booked move, the deposit isn't refunded, but it can be moved to a new date.

Condo moves: you book the elevator and loading bay with your building. If your strata charges a fee for the move, BC's Strata Property Regulation allows a fee for using common property only when it is reasonable and set out in a bylaw or a ratified rule (section 6.9, checked 1 October 2026).

Parking the moving truck in Langley

In the Township of Langley, vehicles can't be parked in a lane, except an attended commercial vehicle that is actually loading or unloading and leaves 3 metres of road clear. Parking on the boulevard isn't allowed, nor within 1 metre of a driveway or 5 metres of a hydrant or community mailbox, and no vehicle may stay in one spot on a street for more than 72 hours.

In Fort Langley's village core, the streets are narrow and parking is difficult, especially on summer weekends; a weekday is much easier for a truck.

Before moving day in Langley

  • Tell us whether you're in the City or the Township, and roughly where. Walnut Grove to Aldergrove is a long run.
  • On an acreage, mention gravel, soft ground and how far the outbuildings are from where a truck can park.
  • In a Willoughby or Walnut Grove complex, confirm with your strata where a moving truck may stop.
  • Clearing out first? Both Langleys run large-item pickup, up to four items a year: booked online in the Township (homes with municipal garbage collection), or by calling 604-635-0999 in the City (detached single-family homes).
  • Loading from a lane in the Township? The truck has to leave 3 metres of road clear while it loads.

Moving to or from Langley

Many Langley moves come from closer to Vancouver, so the drive between homes is part of the day. There's no travel fee, and local moves are priced by the size of the home, as the table above shows.

Langley is also on Highway 1 toward the Fraser Valley and the Interior, and we move households within BC and to Alberta. Long-distance moves within BC currently run $2,000 to $9,000, and moves to Alberta $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the size of the home and the distance.

Questions

Straight answers

How much do movers cost in Langley?

A Willoughby townhouse and a Brookswood acreage are both priced by the size of the home, and there's no travel fee for the drive out from closer to Vancouver. A studio or one-bedroom move is a flat $599, and a 20% deposit ($120) books the date. Two-bedroom homes run $800 to $1,400 and three-bedroom homes $1,200 to $2,000; hourly moves are $120 to $180 an hour for 2 movers and a truck. There is no travel fee.

Do you move acreages and rural properties in Langley?

Yes. Tell us about gravel or soft driveways and how far the outbuildings sit from where a truck can park, so we bring the right vehicle and enough movers.

Can a moving truck load from the lane in the Township of Langley?

Yes, while it's actually loading or unloading with someone attending it, as long as it leaves 3 metres of road clear. Otherwise vehicles can't park in lanes in the Township.

Can Langley's large-item pickup take things I'm not moving?

Up to four items a year. The Township books online for homes with municipal garbage collection, with at most two mattresses or box springs; the City of Langley takes calls on 604-635-0999 from detached single-family homes. Anything else, we can haul away in the same booking.

Do you move from Langley to the Interior or Alberta?

Yes. Long-distance moves within BC currently run $2,000 to $9,000, and moves to Alberta $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the size of the home and the distance. We don't move households beyond Alberta.
