Removalist Camberwell
Hourly rates for homes between Burke Road, Toorak Road and Riversdale Road.
Moving from a period home in Camberwell
Most streets in Camberwell are lined with Victorian and Edwardian houses on generous blocks, with long central hallways, high ceilings and heavy original furniture. The Prospect Hill Precinct and streets like Kasouka Road have rows of heritage villas sitting close together with narrow side passages, while the blocks closer to Toorak Road tend to be wider with room for a truck in the drive. A four-bedroom villa with a sideboard in every room is a different job from a two-bedroom unit near the Burke Road shops, and our removalist Camberwell crew quotes each one separately after inspecting the rooms, the bulky items and the access at both ends.
The crew is led by a supervisor who plans the load around the layout at the new place, wraps and straps every item, and pulls apart anything that will not clear the doorway whole. Bed frames, dining settings and flat-pack wardrobes come apart for the truck and go back together once we are inside. Local rates start from $75 per half hour for a two-person crew and a 20 cubic metre truck, and the full list by truck size is on our removalist prices page.
Truck access around Camberwell Junction
Three tram routes meet at Camberwell Junction, and the Burke Road shopping strip runs about 600 metres north from it with timed parking and narrow side streets. Getting a truck close to a terrace on Prospect Hill Road or a house backing onto the Riversdale Road tram corridor means knowing which streets allow parking and which ones need a council permit.
We inspect access before pricing. Where a large truck cannot park safely, whether the problem is a narrow lane behind a row of villas or a clearway on Toorak Road, we bring a smaller truck or plan the carry so the crew spends its time shifting furniture rather than walking. Warrigal Road along the eastern boundary carries heavy traffic, so a house on the corner streets there may need the truck to approach from the quieter side.
Packing a large Camberwell home
Period homes in Camberwell tend to have more rooms and more accumulated furniture than a newer build, so a packing crew the day before can save real time on move day. Our packers wrap glassware, artwork and mirrors the same way on every job and mark each box with the room it belongs to. Moving boxes, paper and tape are available to buy if you would rather do the packing yourself.
If settlement dates do not line up, we keep your furniture in a climate-controlled facility that is monitored around the clock and bring it to the new address when you have the keys. Public liability and transit insurance covers every move, whether the truck is heading around the corner to Glen Iris or across town to Hawthorn.
Booking a move from Camberwell
Tell us both addresses, the number of bedrooms, any oversized items such as a piano or pool table, and the access situation at each end including stairs, lifts and driveways. We reply with a price, a truck size and the estimated hours, and the calculator below helps you estimate the space before you call. The quote costs nothing and does not lock you in.
Because you pay by the hour, the fastest way to a lower bill is to be packed and ready when the truck pulls up. Sealed boxes, emptied drawers and a parking spot held out the front can take a good chunk of time off the day. Call 1300 724 553 to talk it through, or leave your details on the contact form.

Camberwell moving questions
How do you get heavy furniture through a narrow Camberwell hallway?
Many of the Victorian and Edwardian homes on streets like Kasouka Road and Prospect Hill Road have central hallways barely a metre wide. Our crews tilt large items such as wardrobes and sideboards, remove doors from their hinges where needed, and protect the frames with blankets. We work this out during the quote so the right number of hands turns up on the day.
Is parking difficult near Camberwell Junction on move day?
Burke Road and the side streets around Camberwell Junction have timed parking, so we often need to time the truck arrival around the restrictions. Tell us which end of Burke Road you are on and we plan accordingly. A reserved spot out the front cuts loading time considerably.
Can you move a piano from a Camberwell home?
Yes. Pianos and pool tables are priced as a separate line item. Give us the piano type, the room it is in and any stairs or tight turns on the way out, and we send the right crew and gear.
What if the settlement dates on my Camberwell sale do not line up?
We collect your furniture and keep it in climate-controlled storage that is monitored at all times. When you have the keys to the new place, we bring it over. That covers a few days between settlements or several months if you are renovating.
Do you dismantle large period furniture like sideboards and display cabinets?
Bed frames, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes are taken down and rebuilt as standard. Solid period pieces like sideboards are usually moved whole, wrapped in blankets and plastic, but if a piece will not clear the hallway or doorway, the crew takes off whatever is removable to get it through safely.
