When it comes to moving in Melbourne, your furniture and possessions will be handled with the utmost care by trained moving professionals.
Your moving team will arrive on the scheduled date and begin to protect your items with the necessary moving blankets and packing materials. Once satisfied, your items will be loaded and secured in the moving truck ready for transport.
Tip: Remember to clearly label any boxes and items with the room you’d like them to be placed in your new home. This will save a lot of time when it comes to unpacking.
Once your furniture and belongings have arrived at the new property, they’ll be carefully unloaded from the moving truck and placed into each room by your removalist team.
Packing and unpacking services are also available to save time on both sides of the move.
Your Melbourne removalists will handle all of the physical work, including the lifting and loading of large items. Our skilled removalists manage everything from navigating apartment buildings with limited access in St Kilda to transporting oversized furniture along the Monash Freeway. With skilled removalists on your side, your belongings are managed with care. Our professionals are trained to stack your boxes and furnishings strategically, preserving the integrity and safety of your items and their packaging.
To best look after your belongings, and help the Melbourne removalists team, it’s important not to overpack your boxes. Aim for each box to weigh no more than 20kg to avoid any damage from overly heavy boxes pressing down on others. If you have weighty items needing boxing, just mark those boxes as HEAVY. The moving team will strategically use these as the foundational layer in the moving truck to shield your fragile items above. Additionally, ensure that boxes containing breakable items like plates and glasses are clearly marked with FRAGILE on both the sides and top. Labelling is particularly useful for moves in high-density areas like South Melbourne, where efficient loading is key.
No matter the specifics of your move, our teams of removalists in Melbourne are fully equipped and skilled to transport your items securely. We handle everything from lifting large, heavy, or awkwardly-shaped furniture, to navigating narrow hallways and multiple flights of stairs.
Your Melbourne removalists will prioritise the protection of your home during the move. Taking special precautions to safeguard your bannisters, doors, wooden floors, and carpets especially during Melbourne’s wet winters.
When booking Melbourne removalists, it’s best to book as early as possible. However with many moving parts in the buying and exchange process, this isn’t always possible.
