Removalists Ashwood
Double-fronted cream bricks between Warrigal Road and Huntingdale Road.
Cream brick homes and the access that goes with them
Most of Ashwood was built in the 1950s, and the housing shows it. Double-fronted cream brick houses on established blocks line the streets between Warrigal Road and Huntingdale Road, with concrete driveways, front lawns and mature trees along the nature strips. These houses have wide front doors and straight paths to the kerb, so the carry from the door to the truck is usually short.
Our Ashwood removalists run local moves on the clock, with the rate set by which truck and how many crew the job calls for. Let us know the rooms, what is large or awkward, and the parking and access at each address. Every crew has a supervisor who plans the load, wraps the heavy pieces and keeps time on the day. 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.
Between Warrigal Road and Huntingdale Road
Ashwood’s street grid sits between two busy north-south corridors. Warrigal Road on the western edge and Huntingdale Road on the eastern side carry heavy traffic, and getting a truck on or off either one during peak hour adds time. High Street Road cuts east-west through the middle, and the quieter streets that branch off it, Carlyle Street, Zodiac Street and Montpellier Road among them, have room to park against the kerb without blocking a lane.
Houses that back onto Gardiners Creek Reserve can have longer rear gardens and limited side access, which means a bulky item like a fridge might need to come through the front. The 1950s blocks mostly have concrete driveways wide enough for a single car, and we park the truck on the nature strip alongside. Properties on corner blocks or near Ashwood Drive tend to have wider access and a shorter carry.
Solid furniture in older Ashwood houses
The cream brick homes here tend to hold solid timber dining settings, heavy wardrobes and beds that have not moved in decades. Our crews wrap each item in blankets, add a layer of plastic and strap it for the drive. We pull apart beds, tables and flat-pack wardrobes at the old place and reassemble them in your new rooms, all as part of the standard job.
If you want packing done as well, we bring a team the day before with boxes, paper and tape to work through the kitchen and wardrobes. We also store furniture in a climate-controlled facility with round-the-clock surveillance for short or long stretches when settlement dates do not match. Interstate from Ashwood means a truck booked only for your furniture with a delivery day locked in, or a shared arrangement where you pay for the cubic metres you use. All of this is backed by public liability and transit insurance.
Quote for your Ashwood move
Give us the old and new addresses, the bedroom count, any heavy single items and whether there are stairs or a long carry at either end. We quote a price with the truck size to match, and you can use the calculator below to see whether you need the bigger truck. Quoting is free and you are not locked into anything.
Preparation is the fastest way to cut the bill. Empty drawers, seal boxes and clear a run from the front door to where the truck parks. On the cream brick blocks that usually means moving the car off the driveway so the crew can load in a straight line. Phone 1300 724 553 or leave your details through the contact form.

Ashwood moving questions
How do you handle the narrow hallways in older cream brick houses?
The double-fronted cream bricks from the 1950s have generous front doorways, but the hallways can narrow toward the back bedrooms. Our crew angles furniture by removing legs or tilting, and wraps every piece in blankets before it passes a doorframe. If something genuinely will not fit through the hall, we check for a rear door or window option before moving day.
Is parking a problem on streets near Warrigal Road?
Warrigal Road itself has clearway times during peak hours, so we cannot leave the truck there. On the residential streets one block in, kerbside parking is usually fine but can fill up around school drop-off. We ask about parking when we quote and time the arrival to miss the rush.
Can you move a piano from an Ashwood home?
Pianos and pool tables are quoted as their own item because they need extra hands and the right gear. Tell us the type of piano and where it sits in the house, and we plan the crew and the route through the doors before the day.
What truck sizes do you use on Ashwood's residential streets?
We carry trucks in several sizes. The streets between Warrigal Road and Huntingdale Road fit a standard truck easily, but if your place is on a narrow court or backing onto Gardiners Creek with tight access, we send a smaller one and adjust the quote.
Can you pack the whole house or just the fragile items?
Either. Our packing team arrives the day before and works room by room, or we handle only the kitchen and glassware if you want to do the rest yourself. We supply the boxes, paper and tape, and sealed boxes stack faster on the truck, which trims the hours.
