Moving for Seniors and People with Reduced Mobility

Affche Services handles moves for seniors and people with reduced mobility. Our specialized teams accompany these moves with gentleness and patience. Together, we sort and pack all your belongings, and organize the move to your new home. Every step is taken with care.

We work with EHPAD, senior residences and families to facilitate these moves. Our experience has taught us that these moves require not only know-how, but also a human touch.

Corporate moves: Keeping the focus on business!

Office and Professional Space Relocation

Moving a business is time-consuming and complicated. It requires a lot of work, and every hour of downtime could reduce your sales. Whether you're a small business with commercial premises on the Côte d'Azur or the headquarters of a multinational in Nice, Affche Services has the right solution for you!

We start by taking a detailed look at your business, and identifying any equipment/computers or files that are important to your company. Based on this, we draw up a schedule and timeframe that will cause you the least disruption. We'll even contact your IT teams, suppliers and partners, and work with them to set the right dates.

During the day, your employees can get on with their work as usual. Then, in the evening/overnight or at weekends, and even during the vacations, all we have to do is dismantle everything, put it away and reassemble it in your new premises without disturbing you. The whole set-up will be ready for Monday morning, and your company will be up and running in its new offices.

Removal of stores and boutiques

We know retailers and store owners and the specific problems they face. From the dismantling of fine furniture to window displays and lighting installations, we treat every element with the utmost care.

At Affche Services, we know that it's essential to keep your store's closure to a minimum. We plan rapid interventions, often at night, so that your store can reopen as quickly as possible. As a result, your loss of sales is limited, and your regular customers are disturbed very little.

We pay particular attention to merchandise inventories. We make sure they're inventoried, protected and transported safely. Whether it's clothing, foodstuffs, high-tech products or any other type of merchandise, we apply secure protocols adapted to each type of product.

Warehouse and industrial space relocation

Industrial removals are the big jobs we excel at at Affche Services. Machine tools, production lines, gigantic stocks, complicated equipment... Nothing scares us, and we're capable of moving them all.

Our teams are also specialists in lifting and heavy handling. But when it comes to dismantling, transporting and even reassembling your machines, we call on our engineers. Who better to ensure that your industrial plant works perfectly in its new home? We don't compromise on safety.

Nothing is left to chance in the logistics of these moves. Where necessary, we obtain all the necessary authorizations for exceptional transport. For lifting operations, we make sure that everything is perfectly planned, from start to finish.

Professional Packaging Services: The First Line of Defense for Your Precious Goods

Standard Packaging and Material Supply

Don't forget that packing is the "first line of defense" for your furniture and objects, with the aim of protecting them during transport. Affche Services offers a complete packing service for customers who prefer to free themselves from this burden.

Our packing teams come to you or your premises with all the tools they need: cardboard boxes of various sizes and strengths, bubble wrap, kraft paper, protective covers, straps, rolls of adhesive tape and markers to identify the box.

The cartons are filled so that they are neither too heavy to be transported without worry, nor a little too empty so that the objects inside don't crush. What's more, they're identified so that your furniture and objects will quickly find their place in your new home or premises.

If you're the type of person who likes to pack up small items, don't panic, we've got you covered too, supplying all the necessary materials in the quantities you need. Don't hesitate to ask our advisers for advice: they'll be happy to help you decide on the right quantity.

Packing of fragile and valuable items

Fragile objects require experience, and the years we've spent at Affche Services have taught us to become pros! These include porcelain dishes, crystal glasses, mirrors, sewing machines, masterpieces, etc. Each category of fragile object has its own packing method to make it as strong as possible.

We use reinforced cardboard boxes for fragile objects, with compartments inside for crockery and glasses. High-quality bubble wrap wraps each piece individually. And then, if necessary, we stuff the empty space in the carton with bubble wrap or other shock-absorbing material, so that there's no movement during transport.

Works of art - whether paintings, sculptures or antiques - receive the same treatment as in museums. We use specially designed crates, protective covers and vibration-absorbing cushioning systems to guarantee absolute protection. And of course, our movers are trained to handle these precious objects, whose value - often sentimental as well as financial - is irreplaceable.

Packaging of bulky furniture and equipment

Furniture and bulky equipment are 2 things we don't like to see together. But when it comes to furniture, Affche Services is quick to find the right compromise for packing your sofas.

As you'll have guessed: under the padded covers that cover your furniture is maximum protection against scratches, knocks and dust. Particularly sensitive areas such as furniture corners and edges are protected by foam or hardboard, and doors or drawers are blocked to prevent them from opening accidentally en route.

But your new best friend is your household appliances.

Whether it's a fridge, a washing machine, or even a small food processor, you want it to arrive ready to assault your worktop in its original box. And it's easy to do: the cables are neatly rolled up, there's a label on each part of the cable so you know what it's for, and of course the machine is cleaned so someone else can use it straight away.

Assembly and Dismantling Services: Technical Expertise for Your Move

Dismantling Complex Furniture

You've fallen in love with your grandfather's solid oak Norman bookcase or armoire. Unfortunately, there's no way of getting it to fit through the door of your new home.

On top of that, someone has to have the right tools, the right gestures and a little extra patience to dismantle and pack it without scratching or damaging a single element, even the smallest.

The good news is that a moving agency like ours is your ally in this kind of situation!

We have teams of all-terrain movers with the same patience and expertise as a jeweler. They'll dismantle and store every screw, bolt and component in little bags, and take photos of every stage in the dismantling of your most complex furniture, so that there's a pretty mantelpiece next to your dismantled bookcase...

Reassembly and installation in the new home

The other good news is that these same movers will also be the ones reassembling your furniture in your new home, and will resume their work with just as much precision.

One by one, the beds of your unbearable high school cousins, the chests of drawers of your old cousins, the shelves in the living room are all sifted through by the Affche Services moving teams. Every assembly is rechecked, adjusted so that hinged doors and hidden drawers open and close, and nothing creaks or rattles - everything works perfectly.

And finally, you move into a fully functional new home for which you didn't have to spend hours looking for missing screws or deciphering assembly instructions: already ready to use, you can concentrate on what's next.

Installation of Special Equipment

In addition to everything else, we can also install modular storage systems, custom-made dressing rooms or wall-mounted bookcases.

For professionals, we can also handle the installation of workstations, movable partitions and general office equipment. We coordinate with the pros on site to make sure we don't drop the trendiest Normandy equipment under the bar.

Some things we just can't help but install. This is the case for heavy, bulky equipment such as safes, pianos, home sports systems or wine cellar systems.

Each installation is carried out with the utmost care to ensure that it is secure, without damaging the object in question or causing it to deteriorate. The installation is also designed to be as functional as possible.

Storage Services: The Flexible Solution for Your Temporary Needs

Secure Furniture Storage

Sometimes, you just can't take all your stuff with you to your new home or office. In such cases, you need a little help: a place where you can keep your furniture, safely, cleanly and well-protected: furniture storage from Affche Services!

All our furniture repositories are secure: they are protected by 24-hour video surveillance, alarms and access control reserved for authorized persons. Your furniture and personal belongings are also protected from temperature variations, thanks to air-conditioned spaces that avoid worries about humidity and ventilation.

We have storage units of various sizes, from those sufficient for a few boxes to those that can hold the equivalent of an entire house. Our contracts are non-binding, so you can store your belongings for as long as you need, whether for a few weeks or a few months.

Short- and long-term storage

Not every customer's storage needs will be the same. Between two leases, when you're having work done on your house, when you're expatriated for a few months or when you're moving house in several stages, Affche Services adapts its storage offers to your schedule.

Short-term storage, from a few days to a few weeks, is perfect for situations where you need to move quickly. We take care of everything: we pick up your belongings, keep them safe, then deliver them to you on the chosen day. It's super convenient when you're making a complicated move.

If you need to keep your things for longer, no problem. It could be for a few years, while you wait for your new home to be finished, or when you have to wait before you can move in. No matter how long, as long as it's necessary, we make sure your things stay safe. And to make sure you don't lose anything, we promise to make a precise inventory as soon as we collect your belongings, and to return them to you in the exact condition in which you left them.

Archive and Business Document Storage

Companies are required by law to keep certain documents. Affche Services offers archive storage solutions that are super-sensitive to security and privacy.

Our document storage spaces are top-notch: there's nothing to bruise, sell or eat in them, there are no pests, they're the right temperature for you to work in, and they're well secured. Your accounting, legal, medical or administrative documents are stored in full compliance with current regulations.

We keep track of all your documents thanks to a computerized database. At any time, you can consult the list of your stored archives and request delivery of specific documents. This approach ensures that you do not forget any of your legal obligations concerning the safekeeping of your documents.

Specialized Handling Services: Expertise for Exceptional Items

Transport of Pianos and Musical Instruments

Pianos, whether upright or grand, represent a major technical challenge due to their weight, fragility and price. Over the years, Affche Services has acquired extensive expertise in transporting these very special instruments.

Our specialized teams have everything it takes: super-strong straps to hold the piano securely, carts to move it without scratching the floor, soft padded protections to prevent blows around the piano, and so on. The piano is secure, its fragile inner parts protected from the slightest knock, and its pretty varnish safe from the little scratches that appear over time. Small staircases, narrow passageways and all are no problem for our well-trained movers.

In addition to pianos, we also move all other instruments: large harps, double basses, drums and barrel organs. Every musical instrument is wrapped in the most suitable cover for its shape and sensitivity. Professional musicians and conservatories trust us to move their precious instruments.

Moving Works of Art and Antiques

Works of art and antiques are delicate and need to be stored and protected like in a museum. Affche Services works with collectors, art galleries and antique dealers to move these things.

For each work of art, we start by assessing its value. For master paintings, sculptures, antique furniture or objets d'art. We build custom crates, use protective pads that won't rot the works, and wedges that dampen vibrations.

They travel in vehicles fitted with specially adapted suspension and solid fastening systems. As a result, even the most expensive pieces are well looked after. We can also help them prepare their personal moves, whether private or for exhibition loans.

Handling heavy and bulky equipment

Safes, industrial machinery, medical equipment, vats, monumental sculptures: some objects defy standard moving techniques due to their weight or size. Affche Services has the skills and equipment to meet these technical challenges.

Our teams use professional lifting systems: hydraulic pallet trucks, reinforced hand trucks, lifting straps and loading ramps. For exceptionally heavy items, we use cranes or forklifts, in perfect coordination with our ground movers.

The planning of these special handling operations includes a prior study of access, passageway dimensions, floor and elevator load capacities. We anticipate every difficulty to guarantee safe transport, with no damage to the object being transported or to the buildings through which it passes.

Cleaning Services: The Final Touch to Your Move

End-of-Lease Cleaning

End-of-lease cleaning is an essential part of getting your deposit back. Affche Services offers a service that leaves no room for sloppiness, and will please even the most demanding landlords or estate agents.

After the removal crews have left with your furniture, our cleaning agencies give the entire property a thorough wipe-down. Floors, walls, ceilings, windows, bathroom, kitchen... Every area is cleaned as it should be, using the appropriate products and techniques. Everyday worries disappear, and your home is restored to its original state.

We don't forget the places that are often overlooked: inside cupboards, on the tops of wall units, around radiators, on light switches, door handles... The result is a spotless home for the departure inspection, maximizing the chances of recovering the full deposit, without spending a penny more!

Cleaning the New Home

There's a big plus in moving into a clean apartment: it's immediately more pleasant to get settled in. Affche Services also cleans your new home before your furniture arrives, so you can move into a healthy, welcoming space.

This preliminary cleaning removes dust from any construction work, traces left by previous occupants, and prepares your new home to receive you. Closets are cleaned, bathrooms disinfected, floors washed: you can unpack your belongings in an immaculate space.

This service is particularly appreciated by families with young children, or by allergy sufferers, for whom a clean environment is essential. It also saves you precious time, allowing you to concentrate on organizing your new life.

Cleaning of business premises

When companies move, they often have to return their old premises in pristine condition. Affche Services provides professional cleaning services for offices, shops and warehouses after your departure.

Our teams use professional equipment adapted to large surfaces: scrubbers, industrial vacuum cleaners and steam cleaners. Technical floors, false ceilings, high windows, communal washrooms: each element is treated to professional standards.

For your new premises, we also offer pre-installation cleaning to create a healthy, motivating working environment for your teams. This service can include dusting ventilation systems, cleaning carpets and disinfecting common areas.

Complementary services: Global support for your project

Junk removal and clearance

A move is often an opportunity to sort through and dispose of unwanted items. Affche Services offers a junk removal service that frees you from this tedious and physically demanding task.

We remove unwanted furniture, obsolete appliances and boxes accumulated over the years. Our team loads these bulky items into our vehicles and takes care of transporting them to the appropriate channels: landfill sites, recycling centers, charities for items that are still usable.

This junk removal service can take place before the move to reduce the volume to be transported, or afterwards to completely clean out your old home. It's part of a responsible approach to waste management, favoring recycling and reuse rather than systematic landfill.

Help with unpacking and installation

Moving into your new home marks the start of a new phase: setting up and organizing your living space. Affche Services offers unpacking assistance to speed up this often long and tiring phase.

Our teams unpack your boxes, remove the protective covers from your furniture and immediately remove all the packaging. You're not overwhelmed by mountains of empty boxes and bubble wrap. Your home takes shape quickly, and you can concentrate on organizing your personal belongings.

We can also help you arrange your furniture according to your floor plan. Our movers can move heavy furniture until you find the ideal layout. This solution also saves you physical effort and the risk of injury.

Pre-move packing and organization

For customers who want all-round support, Affche Services offers a complete packing service. Our teams handle the entire packing process, room by room, methodically and efficiently.

This service includes the supply of all necessary materials, the careful packing of your belongings, and a detailed labeling system. Each box indicates its contents and destination room, making subsequent unpacking much easier. You save considerable time and benefit from the expertise of professionals well-versed in optimal packing techniques.

We can also advise you on pre-move organization: what to pack first, what needs to remain accessible until the last moment, how to prepare a "first necessity box" for the first days in your new home. These practical tips will make your move smoother and less stressful.

Sector expertise: Solutions for every profession

Moving Medical and Dental Practices

Healthcare professionals face specific constraints when relocating. Sensitive medical equipment, confidential patient files, compliance with health and safety standards: Affche Services masters these particular requirements.

We transport expensive and delicate medical equipment with the utmost care: dental chairs, X-ray machines, diagnostic equipment, specialized medical furniture. Each piece of equipment is disconnected, protected and reconnected by professionals, often in collaboration with the manufacturer's technicians.

The confidentiality of patient files is guaranteed by strict procedures. Medical archives are transported in secure containers, and we can ensure temporary storage under conditions that comply with current regulations. Continuity of care for your patients is our priority, with planning that minimizes the closure of your practice.

Moving Restaurants and Catering Establishments

Restaurants and catering establishments present unique challenges: professional kitchen equipment, cold rooms, perishable food stocks, large quantities of crockery. Affche Services has developed specific expertise for these technical moves.

Professional kitchens are dismantled with precision, including cooktops, extractor hoods, cold rooms and industrial dishwashers. We coordinate the intervention of plumbers and electricians for the necessary disconnections and reconnections. Transport is carried out under conditions that preserve the integrity of this costly equipment.

Food stocks and wine cellars are treated with care, and refrigerated vehicles are used where necessary. We plan the move to minimize the period of closure, understanding the economic impact of each day of inactivity for your establishment. Your restaurant can reopen quickly, with an operational kitchen ready to welcome your customers.

Moving hair salons and beauty salons

Hairdressing salons and beauty salons have specific furniture and technical equipment that require expert handling. Wash basins, styling chairs, dryers, beauty equipment: Affche Services transports these items with the care they deserve.

Salon furniture, often designer and expensive, is protected against scratches and knocks. Mirrors, essential but fragile, benefit from reinforced packaging. Pr
