Residential removals, Australia-wide

House removals, priced on the stairs as well as the bedrooms.

Units, townhouses and family homes. Two houses ten minutes apart can be hundreds of dollars apart, and it is almost never the distance that does it.

What you get

What a house move includes.

Beds come apart first and go on the truck last, so they are the first thing back together at the other end. The day has to finish with somewhere to sleep.

Set up before the move starts

Runners down and the whole route walked before a single item is carried. Ten minutes of setup is what keeps the rest of the day quick.

Handled by two

A fridge, a sofa bed, a stone top carried on its edge: two on it, a trolley under it, and whoever walks backwards calls the pace.

Dismantle and reassemble

Table legs, bed frames and the flat-pack robe that was built in the room it stands in. Taken apart, and put back together at the other end.

Loading and unloading

Heavy and square up against the front wall, tiers built to the roof, soft goods last and on top. A tight load also goes on faster, and on a local job the hours are the price.

Placed where you want it

Furniture goes into the right room, not stacked in the hallway for you to shift later.

What changes the price

How a house move is priced.

Local moves are sold by the hour, not by the kilometre. Two houses ten minutes apart can be hours apart on price, and it is the access at each end that does it.

  • Crew hours and a truckYou pay for the crew and vehicle for the time the job runs, with a minimum booking that applies to short jobs.
  • How much there isMeasured in cubic metres. A three-bedroom house is usually around 30, and boxes alone are five to ten of that.
  • Stairs and liftsA third-floor walk-up in an old brick block and a third floor with a lift are different jobs. In a strata block the lift usually has to be booked with the body corporate days ahead, so mention it when you enquire.
  • Where the truck parksKerbside at the door is one job. A boom gate, a driveway you are not allowed to block, or a hundred metres across a unit car park is another. Every metre between the tailgate and the front door is time.
  • Your dateWeekends cost more, right across the industry. So does the run from December into late January, when most leases end at once and trucks are booked out weeks ahead. A Tuesday in February is a different price.

The questions that set the price

This is the part everyone else skips.

Most forms want a name and a postcode and leave the real questions for a call you are still waiting on. Answer them here instead. It takes a few minutes, and it is the difference between a quote and a guess.

This form is not loading.

It needs JavaScript, and something is stopping it. Rather than have you answer seven questions that would go nowhere, here are the two routes that work without it.

Step 1 of 7
What kind of move is it?

These two types of moves are priced differently. Local is charged by the hour, interstate by the cubic metres your things take up on the truck.

Where are you moving?

The suburb is enough. The postcode and the state fill themselves in.

Moving from

Moving to

Local work is charged by the hour, and the rate follows the city the truck and crew come out of. Rates in Melbourne and Sydney are higher than in Brisbane.

How big is the place you’re leaving?

Property type matters as much as the number of bedrooms. A three-bedroom house is usually around 30 cubic metres, a three-bedroom unit closer to 24.

Bedrooms

How full is it?

Boxes alone are usually five to ten cubic metres, the part almost everyone underestimates.

Anything else to clear? Select all that apply.

How easy is access at each end?

A third floor with a lift is a different job from a third floor without one, and the lift usually has to be booked with the body corporate days ahead. We go through parking and the walk from the truck when we ring.

When are you moving?

Weekends cost more, and so does the stretch from the week before Christmas to mid-January, when most leases end. If your dates can shift by a few days, your move may fit on a truck already running your route.

How fixed is that date?

Anything else we should plan for?

Packing can be as much or as little as you want. A piano, a pool table or a safe is a job of its own: different gear, more hands, and its own price on top.

Special items

Where should we send your quote?

That is the hard part done. Everything you have answered goes to the person who prices the move, and they will have read all of it before they ring. The quote comes back in writing, split into lines. It is based on your answers, so it can change if the details on the day are materially different.

Thanks, we’ve got that.

Your answers are with the person who prices the move. The quote comes back in writing, split into lines, and they will ring to go through it. Your reference is .

Not ready for the full questionnaire

Leave three details.

The person who calls you back is the person who prices your move, not a call centre passing you from one person to another. Submitting this form does not book your move.

Where this usually comes up

Whatever shape your move is.

  • Unit to houseUsually more volume than people expect once the garage and balcony are counted.
  • House to houseThe standard job. Access at both ends is what decides the hours.
  • DownsizingOften needs storage for the overflow while you work out what stays.
  • Rental to rentalTimed around a bond clean and a key handover, which rarely leave much room.
  • First homeLess to move, but usually a tight budget, so worth being flexible on the date.

How it works

Four steps, and you are only committed at the third.

  1. 01

    You answer

    What you have, where it is going, and every awkward thing about getting it out of one place and into the other. The awkward things are the ones that cost money.

  2. 02

    We price it

    Off our own rate card, split into lines, in writing. Then a short call about what a form still cannot see: the carry to the truck, the turn at the top of the stairs, whether the lift has to be booked with the body corporate.

  3. 03

    Book your date

    A deposit over the phone confirms your booking and allows us to arrange your move. You will know the truck size, the crew size and when they are due.

  4. 04

    Moving day

    The independent removal provider booked for your date does the move. Beds go back together first, and cartons go into the room they were labelled for.

Straight answers

The questions people ask before they ring.

How long does a three-bedroom house take?

Most run somewhere between five and eight hours with the right size crew, depending almost entirely on access. Stairs at one end can add hours; a clear driveway at both ends takes them off.

Are beds taken apart?

Yes. Bed frames, table legs and anything that will not fit through a doorway intact are dismantled and reassembled at the other end.

What about the fridge and washing machine?

They move with everything else. Empty and defrost the fridge the night before, and disconnect the washing machine, because a plumber is not part of the crew.

What if there is nowhere to park?

Tell us when you book. A long carry is the single most common reason a quote changes on the day, and it is far better priced in advance than discovered on the morning.

Can I move on a Saturday?

Yes, and your quote shows the weekend rate as its own line rather than adding it at the end. If your date can shift to a weekday, tell us and we will price it both ways.

Often part of the same job

Most moves need more than one of these.

Packing services Packing always takes longer than anyone plans for. Handing it over is the difference between a calm last night and a very long one. See how it is priced Interstate removals You are not buying a truck. You are buying the cubic metres your belongings occupy on one, and if your dates can move, you can buy them considerably cheaper.

The driveway is the worst place to discuss money.

Answer the questions once. It comes back in writing, split into lines, and the person who priced it rings to go through it with you.
