About JHB Removals
JHB Removals has been moving homes and offices across Johannesburg and South Africa since 2017: nine years of trading, backed by a 4.4★ Google rating and a 5★ HelloPeter rating.
We didn’t set out to be the biggest moving company in Gauteng. We set out to be the one people recommend to a friend, family member, or colleague after their own move is done. Nine years in, that’s still the standard every job gets measured against.
About JHB Removals | Moving you Locally & Nationally
JHB Removals started with a simple observation: most of what goes wrong on moving day isn’t the driving or the lifting. It’s everything that wasn’t planned for. A quote that didn’t account for a security estate’s access rules. A “confirmed” arrival time that wasn’t. A final invoice that looked nothing like the original quotation. These are the moments that turn a move into a stressful one, and they’re almost always avoidable with the right planning upfront.
That’s the gap JHB Removals was built to close. Rather than treating a move as a transport job, get the furniture from A to B, we treat it as a planning job first and a transport job second. Every move starts with understanding the property, the access, the inventory, and the timeline, because that’s what actually determines whether moving day goes the way it was quoted.
Since 2017, that approach has taken us from local moves within Johannesburg suburbs to long-distance relocations covering the country’s major routes: Johannesburg to Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Gqeberha, Bloemfontein, Nelspruit, and Polokwane. As the business has grown, the model hasn’t changed: plan properly, communicate clearly, and charge what was actually quoted.
What We Do:
JHB Removals handles both local and long-distance relocations for homes and businesses:
- Local furniture removals: residential and commercial moves across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Midrand, and Centurion.
- Long-distance removals: full-load moves to destinations across South Africa.
- Shared load removals: for customers moving long-distance who don’t need a dedicated truck, sharing space (and cost) with other households heading the same way.
- Office relocations: business moves scheduled around operating hours to minimise downtime.
- Mini removals: for smaller loads, a bachelor flat, a student’s room, or a single large item, priced against the actual volume moved rather than a full truck rate.
Alongside these, we offer professional packing, furniture wrapping and protection, furniture dismantling and reassembly, storage solutions, and vehicle transport for customers who need a car moved alongside their furniture.

I found Johannesburg Removals, an excellent removal company,very professional, punctual, they made everything so easy for me, from the pickup of my goods from the storage units in Johannesburg to the delivery door of my house in Ballito!! Their staff, very knowledgeable and efficient all the way!! Last but not least I thank Robyn, for handling everything so well for the safe transportation of my goods. I will definitely use them again, and recommend them for the safe removals. I give them TEN STARS Sihloniphizwe LangaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got caught off guard by an illness in the family and I was very worried about moving all my belongings from CPT to JHB on such short notice. Robyn was so understanding and accommodating and made me feel so much better about the entire process with their efficient and empathetic communication. I will definitely be using JHB Removals services again in 2027 when its time to move again! Aunty AdyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a delightful experience. The team manoeuvred their large truck through my complex and did not bump a thing. Then the same respect was shown to my newly renovated home when they unloaded my items, They did not touch 1 of my freshly painted walls they were careful and respectful, what a pleasant experience. Jessica SchorrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I were very nervous about moving our furniture from Cape Town back to Pretoria after a terrible experience moving down to Cape Town two years ago. However, JHB Removals made the experience so pleasant with their constant communication and efficient service. They were incredibly accommodating in getting us our preferred moving dates on short notice and their teams arrived on time for both pick-up and delivery. The movers handled all of our stuff with care and nothing was damaged on delivery. We will happily recommend JHB Removals for any moving needs. Stephanie Van HeerdenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently used JHB Removals for my move. Communication was easy and clear from my first website quote request. Arrangements were made for them to arrive ar 9am, the driver let me know by 7:30 that they will arrive by 8:30. All items was neatly covered and strapped in their blankets ant tape. Within an hour all items were loaded and by 10am everything was safely transported and delivered at the new apartment. Friendly staff, efficient and competent to do what needs to be done. I can highly recommend the company. Paul van EedenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am writing this review with an immense sense of gratitude and relief. Two days before my scheduled move from Pretoria to Gordons Bay, another removal company callously dropped me, leaving me in a state of panic. In my desperation, I reached out to both JHB Removals and Legends Removals. Robyn from JHB Removals was incredibly understanding and worked tirelessly to find a solution. She then connected me with Michael and Cynelle from Legends Removals. Michael was an absolute hero. He calmly assessed my situation and, against all odds, crafted a seamless plan to get my furniture collected and moved. He has scheduled the pickup for tomorrow, and I have complete faith that my belongings will arrive safely in Gordons Bay next week. The compassion, efficiency, and professionalism shown by Robyn, Michael, and Cynelle during such a stressful time were nothing short of exceptional. They didn't just take on a job; they provided a solution and peace of mind when I needed it most. I cannot thank them enough or recommend them more highly. If you need a removal company you can truly trust, look no further! Dave TredreaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very happy that we chose Jhb Removals for my son's move from Johannesburg to Cape Town. I appreciated their pricing model, which I didn't get from other removal companies. A shuttle service was actually required for the collection due to the narrow and winding driveway, but as I was able to get everything to the gate myself, I was able to save a couple of thousand Rand that a shuttle service would have cost. The truck had gearbox trouble on the way to Cape Town, resulting in them not being able to deliver on the promised date. These things can happen, but what I appreciated was a direct call from the driver to explain the problem. A new delivery date was agreed to, that fitted into my son's schedule, and they arrived on time as promised. The other great aspect was that Robyn communicated with us throughout the time that the truck was delayed and so, even with the delay, I will still give them a 5 star rating for the whole experience and the service that they offered.
Why Customers Choose Us:
- Local knowledge that goes beyond a map. We know the practical realities of moving in and out of Johannesburg’s suburbs, security estates, and apartment complexes: the access rules, the booking requirements, the timing constraints, because our teams manage these moves every day.
- One consultant, start to finish. No handoffs between departments. The person who quotes your move is the person who manages it through to delivery.
- Shared-load long-distance options. Moving to another province doesn’t have to mean paying for a truck you don’t need to fill.
Transparent quotations. We confirm inventory and access before quoting, specifically so the final invoice matches what was agreed at the start. - Communication throughout. Before moving day, during the move, and after, you’ll know what’s happening and when.
- Affordable options for smaller moves. Not every move needs a full crew and an eight-ton truck, and we don’t price it like it does.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long has JHB Removals been operating?
JHB Removals has been moving homes and businesses across Johannesburg since 2017, nine years of trading as of 2026. That track record includes both local moves within Gauteng and long-distance relocations to major centres across South Africa.
What areas does JHB Removals cover?
Local coverage runs across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Midrand, and Centurion. For long-distance moves, we run scheduled routes connecting Johannesburg with Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein, Nelspruit, and Polokwane.
Does JHB Removals offer long-distance moves, and how does pricing work?
Yes. Long-distance moves are available as full-load or shared-load. The shared-load option lets you pay for the space you use rather than a full dedicated truck, which keeps long-distance costs down for smaller households.
What makes JHB Removals different from other moving companies?
Every customer is assigned one dedicated moving consultant who manages the move from quotation through to delivery, rather than being passed between departments. That consultant reviews your inventory and confirms access at both properties before the quote is finalised, so the price agreed upfront is the price paid on moving day.
Does JHB Removals handle small moves, not just full households?
Yes, through the mini removals service. A bachelor flat, a student room, or a single large item is priced against the actual volume being moved rather than a full truck rate.
What is JHB Removals' rating, and where can I check reviews?
JHB Removals holds a 4.4-star rating on Google (91 reviews) and a 5-star rating on HelloPeter. These figures were last confirmed 2026-07-08, so check the live listings directly for the current numbers.
