Removalists Reservoir

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

The kinds of moves we do in Reservoir

Reservoir sits in the City of Darebin, postcode 3073, and it is one of the larger suburbs in the north. The jobs we are called out to there tend to fall into three groups:

• Post-war houses on standard blocks. Single and double-fronted brick and weatherboard homes, usually with a driveway or a nature strip the truck can sit beside. Short carry, easy access, and normally the quickest moves we do.
• Townhouses and units. The newer developments through the suburb often share a driveway and have very little visitor parking, so we want to know in advance where the truck can legally stand.
• Apartments near the station and the shops. Lower-rise blocks where booking the lift and a loading bay is the difference between a two-hour job and a four-hour one.

Access and parking worth sorting before the day

• Reservoir station is on the Mernda line and the streets around the Edwardes Street shops get busy. If you are moving near either, tell us and we will plan where the truck goes.
• Check whether your street or building has permit or time-limited parking. A permit is arranged by your council or building manager, not by us, so it is worth doing early.
• If you share a driveway with neighbours, give them a heads-up that a truck will be there for a few hours.
• Rear lane access is useful but is often too narrow for a removal truck. We would much rather know beforehand than find out on the morning.

House removals in Reservoir

Most of our Reservoir work is whole-home moves. A two or three bedroom house on a standard block is usually our 4.5 tonne truck with two movers, from $55 per half hour. A four bedroom home, or one with a garage and a shed to empty as well, goes on the 6.5 tonne truck with two movers, from $60 per half hour. Furniture blankets, trolleys and straps come with the truck, and furniture is wrapped and strapped before it goes on rather than after.

Moving within Reservoir is often a half-day job, because the travel between the two addresses is only a few minutes either way. Moving out of the suburb — down to Preston or Coburg, across to Brunswick, or further afield — puts more of the hours into travel than into loading, so tell us both addresses when you ask for a quote and we will confirm an upfront hourly rate for the whole job. Full details are on our house removals page.

Furniture removals in Reservoir

Plenty of Reservoir jobs are not whole houses at all. A couch that will not go through the new doorway, a bedroom suite going to a family member in the next street, a fridge and a washing machine from a marketplace pick-up, or one room’s worth of furniture after a share-house change — these are all normal days for us.

Small loads like these usually go on the van with one mover, from $40 per half hour, on the same upfront hourly basis as a full move. If an item is heavy or awkward, tell us what it is and where it has to come out from, and we will send a truck and a second mover rather than have one person wrestle it down a staircase. Pianos are the clearest example and have their own page: piano moving. For everything else, see furniture removals and man with a van.

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.
