Frequently Asked Questions
Pool Table Moving
Answers to common questions about professional pool table moving, disassembly, transportation, reassembly and levelling.
What does a professional pool table move include?
A professional pool table move typically includes careful disassembly, protection of the slate, frame, rails and other components, transportation to the new location, reassembly and precision levelling. Our pool table movers plan each relocation around the size and construction of the table, property access, stairs and the distance between locations.
Why does a slate pool table need to be disassembled before moving?
Most slate pool tables are designed to be disassembled before transportation. Attempting to move a fully assembled slate table can place unnecessary stress on the frame, slate and fastening points and can make safe handling much more difficult. Proper pool table disassembly allows each component to be protected and transported individually before the table is professionally reassembled and levelled at its destination.
Do you disassemble and reassemble pool tables?
Yes. Pool table disassembly and reassembly are core parts of our moving service. Our pool table movers carefully remove and organize the rails, cloth, slate and other components as required, transport them to the new location and rebuild the table according to its original configuration.
Do you level the pool table after it is moved?
Yes. Proper pool table levelling is an essential part of reassembly. Once the table has been positioned and rebuilt, the slate and frame are checked and adjusted so the playing surface is level before the table is considered complete.
Can you move a pool table within the same home or building?
Yes. Pool table moving does not always involve transportation to a different address. We can relocate a pool table between rooms, floors or areas of the same property when access allows. Depending on the table and route through the property, partial or complete disassembly may still be required.
Can you move a pool table into or out of storage?
Yes. We can move pool tables into storage, retrieve pool tables from storage and relocate stored tables to a new home or business. Slate and other components are protected and organized for transportation, and the table can be professionally reassembled and levelled when it reaches its final destination.
Can you move billiard and snooker tables?
Yes. In addition to standard pool tables, we can review billiard tables, snooker tables and other slate gaming tables for professional moving. Because construction, dimensions and weight can vary considerably, provide the table type, approximate size and photographs when requesting your quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
Refelting & Pool Table Setup
Information about pool table refelting, cloth replacement, installation, reassembly and levelling.
Do you provide professional pool table refelting?
Yes. We provide professional pool table refelting and cloth replacement for tables that are worn, damaged or simply ready for a new playing surface. Refelting can be completed as a standalone service or coordinated while your pool table is already disassembled for moving or installation.
When is the best time to refelt a pool table?
One of the most convenient times to refelt a pool table is during a move because the rails and playing surface are already being disassembled. Pool table refelting may also be worthwhile when the cloth is worn, stained, torn, loose or no longer providing the playing surface you want.
Can you refelt my pool table without moving it?
Yes. Pool table refelting can be booked as a standalone service even when the table is staying in the same location. We remove the required components, replace the existing cloth and complete the necessary reassembly and setup afterward.
What types of pool table cloth are available?
Pool table cloth is available in different materials, grades and colours depending on the table and the playing experience you want. Contact us with your table size and preferences and we can review the available refelting options before scheduling the service.
Do you install and set up pool tables?
Yes. We provide pool table installation and setup for tables that have been purchased, relocated or placed into storage. Installation can include assembly of the frame, placement and preparation of the slate, cloth installation where required, rail installation and final pool table levelling.
Can you re-level an existing pool table?
Yes. If an existing pool table is no longer playing level, we can review the table and determine whether it can be adjusted and re-levelled. Changes to flooring, movement of the table or settling over time can all affect the playing surface.
Can you refelt a pool table while moving it?
Yes. Combining pool table moving and refelting is often efficient because the table already needs to be disassembled for transportation. New cloth can be installed during reassembly at the destination, allowing the table to arrive, be rebuilt, levelled and finished with a new playing surface as part of the same service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & Quotes
How pool table moving and refelting quotes are prepared and what affects the cost of your service.
How much does it cost to move a pool table?
The cost of professional pool table moving depends on the size and construction of the table, pickup and delivery locations, stairs and property access, travel distance and the amount of disassembly required. Additional services such as pool table refelting or storage can also affect the price. Once we have the table and access details, we can prepare an accurate quote for the move.
What is included in a pool table moving quote?
Your quote outlines the agreed scope of your pool table move. Depending on the service, this can include professional disassembly, protection of table components, transportation, reassembly and pool table levelling at the destination. Any additional services such as refelting or storage are identified separately as part of the quote.
What information do you need to prepare a pool table moving quote?
We typically need the pickup and delivery locations, approximate table size, manufacturer or model if known, whether the table uses slate, photographs of the table and information about stairs, elevators, parking and other access conditions. These details help us determine the equipment, crew and disassembly requirements for your pool table move.
What affects the cost of pool table moving?
Pool table moving costs can be affected by table size, slate configuration, stairs, difficult access, travel distance and whether additional work such as refelting, storage or unusual disassembly is required. A standard three-piece slate pool table with straightforward access may have different requirements than an oversized billiard or snooker table.
Can I combine pool table moving and refelting in one service?
Yes. Pool table moving and refelting can be combined into one coordinated service. Because the table is already disassembled for the move, this can be a convenient time to replace the cloth before the table is reassembled and levelled at its new location.

Yes. Our pool table moving crews are covered through WorkSafeBC, providing proper worker coverage while they are working at your home, condominium, business or other property. WorkSafeBC coverage, commercial general liability insurance and damage protection are important considerations when comparing professional pool table movers.
Can you handle stairs and difficult access?
Many pool table moves involving stairs or restricted access can be completed with proper planning. Because slate and other components can be extremely heavy, we need to review the staircase, turns, doorways, parking distance and other access conditions before confirming the move. Photographs are particularly helpful when evaluating difficult access.
What types and sizes of pool tables can you move?
We can review a wide range of residential and commercial pool tables, including common slate pool tables, billiard tables and snooker tables. Table size, slate configuration, weight and construction vary, so unusually large, antique or specialized tables should be identified during the quoting process.
What should I tell you before my pool table move?
Let us know the approximate table size, manufacturer or model if known, whether the table is slate, pickup and delivery addresses, stairs or elevator access and any unusual access conditions. Also tell us if you would like pool table refelting, storage or another service coordinated with the move.
