Removalists Armadale
Hourly rates for moves between Glenferrie Road and Orrong Road.
Period terraces and apartments between two stations
Armadale is an inner suburb in the City of Stonnington, seven kilometres south-east of the CBD. It has two railway stations, Armadale and Toorak, and is bounded by Glenferrie Road to the east, Orrong Road to the west, Malvern Road to the north and Dandenong Road to the south. The housing ranges from single-front Victorian terraces on the quieter streets to apartment buildings closer to the Dandenong Road end.
The access at both ends of a move, whether that is a narrow terrace hallway or a shared building lift, determines the truck and crew we send. Our Armadale removalists charge by the hour, quoted after we know the stairs, parking and entry. 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.
Parking and access around High Street
On-street parking near both railway stations fills early on weekdays, and the streets along High Street carry steady traffic. If your building has a loading dock or a lift that needs booking, give us the times before moving day so the crew is not standing around waiting.
In an older terrace, the supervisor walks the hallway and measures the angles before the first piece comes off the truck. A sofa that clears the front door of a freestanding house on Orrong Road may not make it through the corridor of a terrace closer to Glenferrie Road. The plan changes to suit: tilt, turn or bring the item through a rear entrance instead.
Packing and cover for an Armadale move
If the kitchen and wardrobes are more than you want to tackle yourself, our packing team arrives the day before with boxes, paper and tape. Every carton is labelled by room so the crew at the other end drops it in the right spot without asking.
Every piece of furniture goes into blankets and plastic wrap before it leaves the house, then gets secured on the truck for the drive. Beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes come apart at the old place and go back together at the new one, all as part of the job. If settlement dates do not match, your furniture goes into a climate-controlled store under 24/7 surveillance until the new place is ready. Public liability and transit insurance covers every move we run.
Interstate along Dandenong Road
Armadale sits right on Dandenong Road, which feeds into the Princes Highway and the Monash Freeway. A household heading to Sydney, Canberra or Adelaide can take a dedicated truck with an agreed delivery day, or share a load with another Melbourne job and pay for the space the furniture takes up. If you are arriving from interstate, we bring everything to the rooms you point at. When the new place is not ready, the load stays in storage until you have the keys.
Getting your Armadale moving quote
To quote your move, we need the two addresses, the bedroom count and a note about stairs, lifts or anything oversized. We reply with a price and a truck recommendation, and you can test the volume first with the calculator below. There is no cost and no obligation.
Moving day goes faster when everything is packed, drawers are empty and a park is held for the truck. In a terrace near High Street, clearing the front hallway before the crew arrives can save half an hour on its own. Call 1300 724 553 to talk it through, or fill in the contact form.

Your rate follows the truck and crew the access requires. We quote once we know the stairs, the parking and the carry at both ends.
Every crew led by a supervisor

Covered on the road

A truck that fits the street
Several sizes in the fleet. We send the one your street between Glenferrie Road and Orrong Road actually needs, not the biggest one available.

Armadale moving questions
How do you handle furniture from a Victorian terrace with a narrow hallway?
The supervisor measures the corridor and checks the angles before anything comes off the truck. Long items such as a dining table or sofa are tilted or turned on their side to clear tight spots. If the front hallway of a terrace near Glenferrie Road is too narrow, the crew brings the piece through a rear entrance or over a balcony instead. Planning the route in advance avoids marking the walls and keeps the move running.
Is there somewhere to park the truck near Armadale station?
On-street parking fills quickly during business hours around both Armadale and Toorak stations. We ask you to hold a spot in front of the house if you can, or the crew arrives early before commuter traffic takes the spaces. Buildings with off-street loading docks are easier, and we use those where they exist.
Can you move a piano from an upstairs room?
Yes. Pianos are quoted as their own item because they need extra hands and specific gear. We check the staircase width and any landings before the day and decide how many people the carry requires. A piano on the first floor of a period home on High Street is a different job from one on a ground-floor slab, and the quote says so.
What if my apartment lift is booked out on moving day?
Tell us the available lift window when you book. We plan loading and unloading around those times and use the gap to wrap furniture, dismantle beds or stage boxes in the corridor. Apartment buildings along Dandenong Road often have shared lift rosters, so locking in the slot early gives us more room to work.
Do you move offices along High Street after hours?
Yes. Office and commercial moves run around the clock, including nights and weekends. We label desks, files and equipment before the move and set everything up at the new address in the layout you give us, so the team walks in Monday morning to a working office.
