Furniture moving in Al Fadilah, Jeddah
A south Jeddah district where a large share of moves include the kitchen itself. We move the home, take the kitchen apart and refit it at the new address, with measurements taken before the first screw comes out.
Short answer: cost and timing in Al Fadilah
A two-bedroom flat starts at SAR 500, a three-bedroom flat at SAR 800, and a handful of items on a pickup from SAR 80. If your move includes an aluminium kitchen, add SAR 200 to 400 for dismantling and refitting. That is a separate, named line in the quote, never buried inside the transport figure. The survey is free and the written price is handed over before work starts.
What makes moves in this district different
Notes taken from jobs here, not copied from another page.
Al Fadilah sits in south Jeddah among Al Sarawat, Al Qurainiyah, Al Sanabil, Al Fayha, Al Thaghr and Abraq Al Rughama. Housing is mostly flats in apartment blocks, mixed with a share of older houses and independent floors. That mix produces a kind of move that is less common in newer districts: a family leaving an older house for a more modern flat in the same part of the city, or the reverse, trading newness for space at a lower rent.
Moving out of an older property has its own operational detail. Doorways are narrower, floors are not always level, and the kitchen is usually aluminium fabricated on site rather than factory units. For that reason a survey in this district starts in the kitchen rather than the bedroom, because the kitchen is what decides whether the job is one day or two.

Kitchen dismantling and refitting: the heart of this page
The item that shapes the whole day in Al Fadilah homes.
Measure and photograph before any tool
We sketch the run, number every unit and photograph it from three angles before the first screw comes out. Refitting without that plan is the main reason doors end up with nowhere to go.
Water and gas first
The stopcock is closed, sink and washing machine hoses are disconnected, and the gas line is sealed and capped. This is a safety step with no shortcut.
Aluminium versus engineered board
Aluminium units separate at the joints and travel as flat panels. Engineered board is more fragile: every dismantling widens the screw hole, so we use low torque and insert fixing anchors where needed.
Worktops, sinks and marble
The worktop is separated from the units and carried upright. The sink comes out of the worktop rather than travelling in it, because that concentrated weight at the edge is what cracks stone.
Extractor, oven and hob
Electrically disconnected and moved in their original boxes where available, otherwise in padded cartons. A glass hob always travels upright.
Refitting at the new address
We start from the corner and level with a spirit level, because any tilt in the first unit multiplies across the run. Full details on kitchen dismantling and assembly in Jeddah.
Is the old kitchen worth moving at all?
A question we answer honestly rather than selling the service by default.
Not every kitchen should move. Aluminium units in good condition relocate and refit with no real difficulty, and in that case we say so plainly. Engineered board units that have already been taken apart and rebuilt more than once, or whose edges have swollen from a leak under the sink, rarely give a satisfying result the next time. We tell you that before dismantling, not after.
The second factor is fit. A kitchen is built for one specific space. Moving it into a room of different length, or with drainage and power in different positions, means either surplus units or gaps. At survey we ask for a photo and measurements of the new kitchen before promising anything, and where the fit is wrong we suggest moving only the usable units instead of the whole run.
How the day is sequenced when the kitchen is included
An order that keeps the crew from standing idle.
The day before
Kitchen cupboards emptied completely and the fridge unplugged so it can defrost and dry.
Morning: kitchen first
The kitchen is the longest task, and starting it early keeps the rest of the day on schedule. A separate crew works on it while another handles the rooms.
Midday: rooms and boxes
While the kitchen is being flat-packed, bedrooms and soft furnishings load, so neither team waits on the other.
At the new address: kitchen before furniture
The kitchen is refitted first because it needs clear working space. Everything else comes in afterwards.
Finally: test and hand over
Water is turned on and checked for leaks under the sink, and every door and hinge is tested before the crew leaves.
What happens to each part of the kitchen
A quick reference for each component.
| Part | How it is dismantled | How it travels |
|---|---|---|
| Base units (aluminium) | Separated at the joints, each unit numbered | Flat and strapped, never stacked without separators |
| Wall units | Hanging screws removed, lowered by two people | Upright inside a heavy blanket |
| Marble or granite worktop | Fully separated from units, sink removed from it | Upright between two foam boards |
| Sink and mixer tap | Hoses disconnected, stopcock closed | One box together with its own fixings |
| Oven, hob and extractor | Electrically isolated, frame fixings removed | Original boxes where available; glass hob upright |
| Doors and hinges | Each door labelled with its unit, hinges bagged | Flat, with cardboard separators between doors |
Numbering is the single most important item in this table. Without it, refitting time at the new address roughly doubles.
Dismantling the rest of the furniture
Priced separately from transport.
| Dismantling and assembly job | Price range (SAR) |
|---|---|
| Complete bedroom set | 150 – 300 |
| Sliding wardrobe or IKEA wardrobe | 100 – 250 |
| Aluminium kitchen | 200 – 400 |
| Whole-flat dismantling and assembly package | 400 – 900 |
These figures apply when you book dismantling and assembly on its own, without transport.
Besides kitchens, the most frequent requests here are taking older bedroom sets apart and rebuilding them, and assembling new flat-packed wardrobes. See IKEA furniture assembly in Jeddah.
Packing and storage
For when the new home is not ready.
| Volume stored | Monthly rent (SAR) |
|---|---|
| One to two rooms of contents | 150 – 300 |
| A full flat | 250 – 450 |
| A villa | 400 – 800 |
Monthly storage includes basic wrapping and a photographed inventory at intake.
Dismantled kitchen units are stored flat and numbered rather than stacked at random, so refitting later is straightforward. See furniture storage and packing services.
Five common kitchen-moving mistakes
All of them avoidable, all of them seen every month.
- Dismantling without numbering: hours lost guessing at the new address, and doors that no longer match their unit.
- Leaving cupboards full: a full unit can be neither dismantled nor carried, and emptying it on the day costs an hour.
- Carrying a marble worktop flat: it cracks under its own weight at the first speed bump. Upright between foam boards is the only correct position.
- Fitting the first unit without a level: any tilt accumulates along the run, producing end gaps that cannot be hidden.
- Not testing for leaks after refitting: a small drip under the sink destroys the unit base within weeks, and finding it on fitting day costs minutes.
Al Fadilah moving questions
Most of them are about the kitchen.
SAR 200 to 400 as a separate line from transport. Where you land inside that range depends on the number of units, the worktop material and whether the new space needs adjustment.
Aluminium units in good condition usually are. Engineered board that has been taken apart repeatedly, or whose edges have swollen from a leak, generally is not, and we say so before dismantling.
We ask for a photo and measurements of the new space at survey. If the fit is wrong we suggest moving only the usable units rather than the whole run, and we tell you before you commit.
Separated from the units and carried upright between two foam boards. The sink is removed from the worktop rather than travelling in it, because that edge weight is what cracks stone.
SAR 500 to 900 depending on dismantling jobs, floor and distance, with the kitchen added as its own line if it is part of the move.
Yes. The stopcock is closed, sink and washing machine hoses are disconnected, and the gas line is sealed and capped. There is no shortcut on this step.
One long day or two, depending on the number of kitchen units. We start the kitchen in the morning with a separate crew so the rest of the day is not delayed.
Yes. Water is turned on and checked under the sink, and doors and hinges are tested before the crew leaves.
Yes, stored flat and numbered rather than stacked at random. Monthly storage starts at SAR 150 for one to two rooms of contents.
Yes, and a short move inside Al Fadilah is the cheapest case because it is a single trip. The kitchen and the number of dismantling jobs remain the main variables.
