Removalists Coburg

Movers4Melbourne is a local removalist working in Coburg and right across Melbourne’s northern suburbs. We are based at 7/85 Cooper Street, Campbellfield, a short run down the Hume from Coburg, so the truck is not spending half the morning getting to you before the clock starts.

The kinds of moves we do in Coburg

Coburg sits in the City of Merri-bek, postcode 3058, and it is a suburb of two halves as far as a removalist is concerned: the older streets either side of Sydney Road, and the newer apartment stock that has gone up along it. The jobs we get called to there tend to fall into three groups:

  • Period homes on the side streets. Californian bungalows, weatherboards and solid brick houses, often with a narrow driveway, a front fence and a few steps up to the verandah. Generally straightforward, as long as we know about the steps.
  • Townhouses and units. Newer developments through Coburg and Coburg North commonly share a single driveway with very little visitor parking, so we want to know in advance where the truck can legally stand.
  • Apartments along and near Sydney Road. Mid-rise blocks where booking the lift and a loading bay is genuinely the difference between a two-hour job and a four-hour one.

Access and parking worth sorting before the day

  • Sydney Road is the hard one. Tram tracks, clearway times and almost nowhere for a truck to stand legally for long. If you are moving on or just off it, tell us early and we will work out where the truck goes and what time we start.
  • Coburg station is on the Upfield line and the streets around the station and the Coburg shops fill up quickly on weekdays. A Saturday or Sunday start is often easier, and we work seven days.
  • Check whether your street or building has permit or time-limited parking. A permit is arranged through the council or your building manager, not by us, so it is worth doing early.
  • Many of the older Coburg properties have rear lane access. Lanes are useful but are frequently too narrow for a removal truck, and we would much rather know beforehand than find out on the morning.
  • If you share a driveway with neighbours, give them a heads-up that a truck will be there for a few hours.

What we can move for you

What it costs

  • Upfront hourly rates, confirmed with you before the job starts
  • Van and man from $40 per half hour
  • Furniture blankets, trolleys and straps supplied, at no extra charge
  • Fully insured
  • Available seven days a week

We are a removals company, not a packing company: we do not pack your belongings into boxes for you and we do not offer storage. If you are packing yourself, we sell boxes and packing supplies in our shop.

What to tell us when you book

  • Both addresses, and the floor level at each end
  • How many steps or stairs there are, and how far it is from the truck to the door
  • Anything heavy or awkward: a piano, a large fridge, a safe, a glass cabinet
  • Whether everything will be packed and ready before we arrive
  • Your date and preferred start time

Photos of the access at both ends are genuinely useful. You can send them straight to us on WhatsApp.

House removals in Coburg

The houses we move in Coburg tend to fall into two groups, and they ask for different things on the day. The single-fronted Victorian and interwar homes in the streets off Sydney Road and around Munro Street usually have a narrow hallway, a front gate rather than a driveway, and often a rear laneway that is easier to load from than the street itself. The newer townhouses in Coburg North, and the apartments in the converted Pentridge buildings, generally have better access but bring their own constraints: a shared driveway, a basement car park with a height limit, or a lift that has to be booked ahead.

A 4.5 tonne truck with two movers, from $55 per half hour, covers most two and three bedroom Coburg houses in a single load. For a four bedroom home, or where there is a shed and a garage to clear as well, the 6.5 tonne truck with two movers from $60 per half hour avoids a second run and usually works out cheaper overall. Rates are upfront and hourly, we are fully insured, and we work seven days a week. Furniture blankets, trolleys and straps are supplied. There is more on how we run a full home move on our house removals page.

Furniture removals and single items in Coburg

A good share of our Coburg work is not a whole house at all. It is a couch and a bed going up to a flat above the Sydney Road shops, a dining table picked up secondhand from a front lawn, a fridge moving into a share house near Coburg station, or a parent’s furniture coming out of a unit off Bell Street.

For jobs that size our van and man service, from $40 per half hour, is usually the right fit. Where there are stairs and no lift, or a single piece that is genuinely heavy — a sofa bed, a marble-top table, a full-height fridge — the 4.5 tonne truck with two movers from $55 per half hour is worth the difference, because two people and a trolley will shift it in a fraction of the time. We also move individual furniture items across the northern suburbs, and if there is a piano involved, tell us when you book so we bring the right gear — see piano removals. For flats and apartments with lift access, our apartment moves page covers how we handle booking the lift and the loading dock.

Also across the northern suburbs

Coburg is one of our busiest areas, along with Reservoir, Preston and Brunswick. Our depot is in Campbellfield, a short run north. We also work across the western, eastern, south-eastern and inner-city suburbs and regional Victoria. If you are not sure whether we come to you, ask us — we almost certainly do.
