– Or…Why the Only Thing You Should Be Lifting After 6pm Is a Glass of Wine
Evenings, Weekends & Moving: It’s Complicated (But We’ve Got You)
Let’s be honest. Whoever said “just move house during work hours” must have had a butler named Simon, three assistants, and absolutely no mortgage. Because for most of us in Dublin? Trying to schedule a move between 9 and 5 is like squeezing a grand piano into a Fiat 500.
So here’s the burning question:
Are there any moving companies in Dublin that actually work evenings or weekends?
Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Keep reading, because we’ve got receipts, stories, stats, and possibly a few passive-aggressive jokes about landlords.
Life Happens After 5pm (And So Does Most of Dublin’s Stress)
Here’s the reality:
Over 68% of people in Dublin who move house or office are working full-time. And more than half of them told us (via a very real survey we conducted with very real stressed-out clients) that their biggest nightmare wasn’t lifting furniture – it was taking time off work to do it.
“We thought moving would be the worst part. Turned out trying to book annual leave for it was.”
– Actual quote from a client who’s definitely not bitter at HR.
That’s where evening and weekend movers come in. And yes, Expert Removals is one of them.
We’re not just here Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. We’re here for you after hours, on Saturdays, on Sundays, and occasionally in the kind of weather that makes us question our life choices.
The ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not a Breakdown’ Backstory
Let me tell you about one of our favourite clients – a lovely woman in Clontarf, let’s call her Sarah.
Sarah had two kids, a full-time job in tech, a landlord selling her place out from under her (classic), and exactly one weekend to get her life into a moving truck.
She called three moving companies.
Two didn’t answer.
One said, “We don’t work weekends.”
She was about to start Googling “how to move house with a toddler in a suitcase” when she found us.
The Discovery Moment: Flexible Movers = Sanity Saved
When Sarah called Expert Removals, we said:
“Weekend move? No problem. You want a Saturday morning start or Sunday afternoon? Two men or three? Also, tea or coffee?”
That’s when it hit her.
“Wait… there are moving companies that actually get it? Who understand I can’t pause my job/life/kids just to move house?”
Yep. And we’ve built our entire service model around real lives, not fantasy schedules.
Why Evening & Weekend Moves Make Sense (and Cents)
Here’s the not-so-secret truth:
We’ve structured our team to be available when you’re actually free.
| Day of Week | Availability | % of Weekly Bookings (Expert Removals) |
|---|---|---|
| Weekdays (9–5) | ✔️ | 38% |
| Weekday Evenings | ✔️ | 26% |
| Saturdays | ✔️ | 21% |
| Sundays | ✔️ | 15% |
That’s 62% of our moves happening outside the traditional 9–5.
Why?
Because people like you can’t always move during work hours. And we’re not in the business of saying, “tough luck.”
So, what are the actual benefits of moving evenings or weekends?
- No need to book time off work
- Avoid school runs and traffic madness
- Easier building access (especially for office moves)
- Less disruption to your business or home life
- Faster move due to quieter roads
(Also, let’s not lie – there’s something slightly magical about a Sunday afternoon move, followed by a celebratory curry in your new living room.)
Customer Queries, Answered: What Dublin Wants to Know

Q: Do movers work weekends in Dublin?
A: Some do. Most don’t. We do. Especially Saturdays and even Sundays (if your nice!). Just ask.

A: Yes. We do evening moves. Our latest job last month started at 6:30pm and ended with a customer hugging a kettle in their new kitchen at 10:15pm.
Q: Are evening moves more expensive?
A: We don’t believe in extortion for convenience. We offer transparent pricing based on van size, crew number, and timing – not whether the sun’s gone down.

Client Stories: The Real Stars of the Show
📦 Alan from Ranelagh:
“Moved our 4-bed house on a Saturday with zero fuss. The crew even helped label the kids’ boxes so they’d feel less stressed. Didn’t think I’d ever say this, but it was… fun?”
📦 Karen from Blackrock (Office Move):
“We did an office move starting 5:30pm on Friday and were fully set up again by Monday morning. No downtime, no grumpy staff. Unreal.”
