What We Move

As furniture removalists in Melbourne, we move single items, part loads and full homes. That means we can shift one wardrobe across town, a few large pieces between houses, or the entire contents of a home. You only pay for the hours the job takes.

Single-item jobs are common. A new lounge that will not fit in the car, a piano stool, a heavy bookshelf bought secondhand, a fridge moving to a relative’s place. We bring a truck, trolleys and at least two people, so heavy and awkward pieces are handled safely.

Part loads suit downsizers and people moving a room at a time. Full home moves cover everything in the house. Two years moving Melbourne homes and offices. Every move is insured while it is in our care.

Our Hourly Rates for Furniture Removals

Most single-item and part-load furniture jobs suit the small truck at $120 per hour. Larger furniture loads or a full house of furniture usually need the big truck at $137 per hour. Petrol is estimated and itemised on your written quote before moving day.

Our Blanket Wrap Method

Furniture gets damaged when it is not protected. Our furniture movers in Melbourne wrap items in thick moving blankets before they leave the room. Timber edges, polished surfaces and upholstery are covered and secured with straps. Drawers and doors are taped or tied so they do not swing open in transit.

We load with the same care. Heavy pieces go on the truck floor. Lighter and fragile items sit on top or are boxed and braced. The load is strapped so nothing shifts on the drive. This method is why most jobs finish with furniture in the same condition it started.

How Your Move Works
Why Choose House Removals

Why Choose Smart Shift

You get the numbers on the page. The hourly rate, the estimated hours and the petrol estimate are all on your written quote before moving day. If the move runs longer than estimated, the crew pauses and tells you before any extra charge is applied.

Two years moving Melbourne homes and offices. Every move is insured. Crews speak English plus Dari, Pashto, Hindi, Urdu and Arabic on request. That combination of plain numbers, careful handling and clear communication is why people book us for furniture moves of every size.

Heavy and Bulky Items Up Stairs

Some pieces are simply hard to move. A three-seater sofa bed, a stone-top dining table, a solid timber wardrobe. These need people who know how to lift, pivot and carry without damaging the item or the walls.

Our crews carry heavy and bulky furniture up and down stairs by hand when wheels will not work. We measure tight doorways and turns first, and we take items apart where that is the safe option. Stairs are noted on your written quote so the estimated hours are realistic. If the move runs longer than estimated, the crew pauses and tells you before any extra charge.

Who This Service Is For

Fragile and High-Value Pieces

Glass cabinets, mirrors, marble tops, antique timber and artwork all need extra attention. We wrap these in blankets, add padding to corners and edges, and load them upright or flat depending on what is safest for the piece.

Tell us about high-value or fragile furniture when you book. We plan the right materials and handling, and we note them on your written quote. Every move is insured while it is in our care.

Same-Day and Short-Notice Jobs

Sometimes furniture needs to move now. A marketplace pickup with a tight collection window, a tenancy that ends sooner than planned, a delivery that will not fit through the door. We can often help with same-day and short-notice furniture removals, subject to crew availability.

Call +61 404 118 191 with the item, both addresses and the access at each end. We will tell you honestly whether we can do it today and send you a written upfront quote with the hourly rate and a petrol estimate before we start.
