Moving History Requires Respecting It

Houghton is old Johannesburg at its grandest — the mansion estates along the ridge above Munro Drive, the heritage homes that once housed the city’s founding families (and a Nobel laureate), the golf course at its heart and a growing diplomatic presence behind its walls. Homes here hold libraries, grand pianos, generational antiques and staircases built for a more elegant century. Moving them is craftsman’s work: felt before plastic, carrying over sliding, crating where a piece’s history demands it, and condition documentation throughout.

Our Houghton moves run under senior relocation managers with our most experienced crews — quiet, methodical and respectful of both the home and its privacy.

More About Relocating in Houghton

Houghton is old Johannesburg at its grandest — the mansion estates along the ridge above Munro Drive, heritage homes that once housed the city’s founding families, the golf course at its heart and a growing diplomatic presence behind its walls. Homes here hold libraries, grand pianos, generational antiques and staircases built for a more elegant century.

Our Houghton moves run under senior relocation managers with our most experienced crews — felt-wrapping before plastic, carried descents on grand staircases, and condition documentation for significant pieces. Grand pianos are moved by trained crews with proper equipment, and where a ridge property’s access demands it, we advise honestly on hoisting. Quiet, methodical and discreet from first carton to final placement.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Blessing was the driver and head of the team of my parents move from Pietermaritzburg to Pretoria. My parents are in their 80’s and were extremely stressed. Blessing was so patient and kind and he and his team had them successfully loaded and unloaded in a day. Not one item was scratched or broken. What an efficient and easy move. Blessing communicated his location to us throughout the trip. Thank you team Blessing.
