Furniture Removalists Melbourne

We have been moving furniture around Melbourne since 2014, from a single couch across Brunswick to a full house of furniture out of Reservoir. Everything is charged at an upfront hourly rate with furniture blankets, trolleys and straps included, and we work 7 days a week.

Furniture we move

Couches, sofa beds and armchairs
Beds, mattresses and bed bases
Wardrobes, chests of drawers and bookcases
Dining tables, chairs and outdoor furniture
Fridges, washing machines, dryers and other whitegoods
Office desks and filing cabinets
Treadmills, exercise equipment and other heavy single items
Pianos (see piano moving)

Moving one or two pieces

You do not need a whole-house booking to get furniture moved. A single couch, a fridge, a bed or a desk is an ordinary job for us, and it is usually the cheapest option on our list: a van and man from $40 per half hour, with the same blankets, trolleys and straps as a full move.

Single-item jobs are often same week, and sometimes same day, depending on where you are and what else is on. Tell us the item, both addresses and the floor each one is on, and we can usually price it over the phone. If you are moving a couple of items rather than one, our man with a van page covers that service in more detail.

How we protect your furniture

Furniture blankets on every piece before it leaves the room
Trolleys for heavy items and appliances
Straps to secure the load so nothing shifts in transit
Beds and tables taken apart and put back together where needed
Doorways and corners protected where the carry is tight
Fully insured, so the job is covered if something does go wrong — see our insurance page

Awkward pieces and what they need

Most damage and most delays come from a handful of items. If you have any of these, say so when you book and we will plan for them.

Three-seater and modular sofas. The usual problem is the doorway, not the weight. Measure the narrowest point on the path out; if the feet unscrew, take them off beforehand.
Glass-topped and marble tables. Tops travel separately, on edge and blanket-wrapped. Let us know so we leave room in the load.
Flat-pack wardrobes. Older flat-pack often does not survive a second dismantle. If it has been moved before, expect it to need care, and tell us if you would rather it travelled assembled.
Mattresses. A bag keeps a mattress clean through a dusty stairwell or a wet day. We do not supply them, but they are inexpensive and worth having.
Fridges and washing machines. Defrost and dry the fridge the day before and disconnect the washer. Fridges should sit upright for a few hours after the move before being switched on.
Safes, treadmills and anything over about 100 kg. Tell us the weight when you book so we send the right gear and the right crew.

What affects how long a furniture move takes

We charge by the hour, so the things that slow a job down are the things that add to the cost. Telling us about them when you book means the price we quote is the price you pay.

Stairs and lifts. A third-floor walk-up takes longer than a ground-floor unit. If the building has a lift, let us know whether it needs to be booked.
Parking and carry distance. How close the truck can get to the door matters, especially on narrow streets or in apartment car parks with low clearance.
Dismantling and reassembly. Beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes all take time to take apart and put back together.
Number and size of items. One couch is a different job from a full lounge room and three bedrooms.
Distance between addresses. Travel time between the pick-up and the drop-off is part of the job.

What a furniture move costs

Upfront hourly rates, confirmed before the job starts, with no weight-based estimate and nothing added at the end.

Van and man — from $40 per half hour. One or two pieces, a studio, or a single bedroom.
4.5 tonne truck and two movers — from $55 per half hour. A unit or a small house of furniture.
6.5 tonne truck and two movers — from $60 per half hour. A full house, or bulky items like modular lounges and outdoor settings.

Furniture blankets, trolleys and straps are included in every rate. See our removalist prices page for what each option suits.

Getting your furniture ready for moving day

A little preparation keeps the hourly clock down and your furniture in better shape.

Empty drawers and cupboards. Loaded furniture is heavier, harder to carry safely and more likely to be damaged.
Measure doorways, hallways and stairwells for anything large. It is better to know before the day that a wardrobe will not fit through a door.
Defrost and dry out the fridge or freezer the day before, and disconnect the washing machine.
Keep screws, bolts and fittings from anything dismantled in a labelled bag.
Clear a path from each room to the front door, and move rugs, pot plants and shoes out of the way.
Decide where each piece goes in the new place before we arrive. It saves carrying the same item twice.
Box up the small loose things. We move furniture, not loose contents, and we do not offer a packing service — boxes and supplies are on our shop page.

What to tell us when you book

A list of the furniture, with anything unusually large or heavy flagged
Both addresses, the floor each one is on, and whether there is a lift or stairs
How close a truck can park at each end
What needs dismantling and reassembling
Your preferred date, and how flexible it is

That is enough for us to send the right truck and crew the first time. Send it through here, or call and we will work it out on the phone.

No. We move furniture and boxed items, and we do not offer a packing service. We do sell boxes and packing supplies.
