Moving in Sosnowiec

Sosnowiec lies just beyond Katowice, but its residents will quickly remind you that this is no longer Silesia but the Dąbrowa Basin. For a moving crew, this boundary has a practical meaning: to get here from Wrocław, you have to drive through the entire centre of the conurbation. So we plan Sosnowiec–Wrocław moves to avoid traffic jams, and from Sosnowiec we also move people to other cities and abroad.

Via Katowice and the S86

We take the A4 motorway as far as Katowice and then – depending on the time of day – either stay on the A4 towards Mysłowice or take the S86 expressway, which links Katowice with Sosnowiec via the bridge over the Brynica. The route is about 220 km. In ideal conditions that is two and a half hours, but traffic between Katowice and the Dąbrowa Basin at rush hour can make it considerably longer. We leave Wrocław very early to get through the conurbation before the morning rush.

Sosnowiec's large housing estates

Sosnowiec is a city that expanded in the 1970s, when dozens of tall blocks were built for mine and steelworks employees. In Zagórze, Środula and Klimontów there are tower blocks more than ten storeys high and long blocks with many entrances. The lifts are small, and with heavy use, residents are not always keen to wait for the crew to finish unloading. It is worth letting your neighbours know and asking the building management whether the lift can be booked for a few hours.

Zagórze and Środula

Tower blocks from the 1970s and 1980s, wide streets and large car parks. Access is convenient, but the walk from the vehicle to the entrance of a long block can be considerable.

Pogoń and the city centre

Tenement buildings on Modrzejowska and 3 Maja streets, a paid parking zone and trams. We agree a parking spot in a side street or in a courtyard.

Milowice, Niwka, Dańdówka

Old workers' housing, traditional terraced blocks and pre-war houses. Narrow passages and steep stairs, often with no way to pull up right by the door.

Kazimierz Górniczy, Maczki, Ostrowy

The eastern part of the city, with detached houses and gardens. More to transport, fewer problems finding space for the vehicle.

Campus, hospitals and employee moves

Sosnowiec has faculties of the University of Silesia and several hospitals, so on the route to Wrocław we move many graduates and people changing jobs in healthcare. There are also company moves – from the Dąbrowa Basin to new offices in Wrocław. For these, we prepare a schedule and set dates when the move disrupts work the least. You will find a description of this service on our office relocation page.

Before you book a move from Sosnowiec

  1. Check whether the building management requires the move to be notified or the lift to be booked.
  2. Count your furniture and boxes in our volume calculator.
  3. Decide whether you will pack yourself or leave it to us.
  4. Work out whether you need storage until you collect your keys.

We carry out all moves with our own vehicles, under a contract and with a VAT invoice. We hold carrier's liability insurance of PLN 500,000, and the company is a member of FEDEMAC.

Moving in Sosnowiec – questions

Do traffic jams in the conurbation affect the cost of the move?

Indirectly, yes, as they lengthen working time. That is why we suggest times when driving through Katowice is quickest.

I live on the 12th floor in Zagórze. Will my furniture fit in the lift?

Most of it will, once taken apart. Give us the dimensions of the lift car and your largest furniture – we will assess it before arriving.

Can you collect belongings from Sosnowiec and Dąbrowa Górnicza?

Yes, the two cities are next to each other, so a second address can easily be combined with the first in a single run.

How long does a move from Sosnowiec to Wrocław take?

Usually one day. The drive takes two and a half to three hours, depending on traffic in the conurbation.
