Removalists Beaumaris
Large homes above Port Phillip Bay, moved with the right truck and crew.
Elevated blocks above Port Phillip Bay
Beaumaris is set on high ground overlooking the Port Phillip Bay foreshore, 20 kilometres south-east of Melbourne’s CBD in the City of Bayside. Houses here sit on wide blocks with established gardens, long driveways and mature trees that overhang the street. Moving in or out means a longer carry between the truck and the front door, and the quote accounts for that. Our Beaumaris removalists charge by the clock after inspecting the driveways and the street width at both addresses.
Every crew has a leader who plans the carry path from the house to the truck and owns the loading sequence. Dining tables, bed frames and flat-pack wardrobes are pulled apart before the move and rebuilt once we arrive at your new address. 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.
Streets between Charman Road and the foreshore
Charman Road runs along Beaumaris’s eastern boundary and takes most of the through traffic. West of there, the streets narrow as they approach the bay, with courts and cul-de-sacs where a full-size truck may need to stay at the top while the crew carries from the kerb. The blocks along Iluka Street, Keating Street and Fairleigh Avenue near the Royal Melbourne Golf Club are among the largest in the suburb, and side fences plus overhanging branches can limit the width available for a truck.
Further north, near Reserve Road and Weatherall Road, the streets open up and truck access is more straightforward. We inspect all of this before quoting, choose the truck that actually suits the street, and map out the carry so the crew is productive rather than improvising on arrival.
Packing a home with decades of contents
Large Beaumaris homes often hold decades of accumulated furniture, kitchenware, artwork and personal items. A packing team the day before gets the kitchen, wardrobes and bookshelves sorted, with every box labelled by room so it goes to the right spot at the new end. We sell boxes, paper and tape as well if you would rather pack yourself.
Furniture is padded in blankets and sealed in plastic, then strapped so nothing moves during the drive. Fridges, washing machines and fragile pieces get the same treatment every time. The whole job is covered by public liability and transit insurance.
Storage between settlement dates
Beaumaris is tightly held and settlement dates can slip while you wait for the next place. We keep your load in a climate-controlled facility under round-the-clock surveillance and bring it out when you are ready, whether that is three days or three months later. Your things stay together so we do not need to re-sort them at the new end.
For interstate moves, our Beaumaris removalists can put your household on its own truck with a set delivery date, or fit it onto a shared run where you pay for the space it uses. If you are arriving in Beaumaris from interstate, we bring everything inside and place it room by room.
Getting a price for your Beaumaris move
Give us both addresses, the bedroom count, anything oversized and the access at both ends. We work out the truck, the crew size and an hourly rate. You can estimate the volume yourself with our calculator below. The quote costs nothing and you can take it or leave it.
Moves that start on time are the ones where the house is sorted before we knock: boxes taped shut, wardrobes emptied, the driveway open and a clear route from the front door to the street. Phone 1300 724 553 to talk it over, or send a message through the contact form.

What the crew brings to every job
Priced by the job, not a flat rate
Hourly rates set by the truck and crew the move needs, quoted once we know the driveway length and the street width, so the price matches the actual work.
A crew leader on every truck
One person owns the plan for the day, from the first piece wrapped to the last box placed at the new address.
Beds, tables and wardrobes reassembled
Dismantling and reassembly are part of the job. The crew puts it all back together at the new place so you do not have to.
Wrapped before it leaves the house
Blankets, plastic and straps protect every piece from the front door to the truck and again at the other end.

How moves work along the Beaumaris foreshore
Can your truck reach a house on a court off Iluka Street or Keating Street?
Courts near the western edge of Beaumaris can be tight for a full-size truck. We check the turning circle and the width beforehand. If a big truck will not make it, we send a smaller one or stay on the nearest through street and carry from there. The additional walk is built into the price.
How do you protect furniture carried through a long Beaumaris garden?
Everything is padded in blankets and plastic before it leaves the house, not at the truck. The crew maps the flattest path and uses trolleys where the surface allows. On a wet day, we lay drop sheets along the route so nothing picks up mud or grass.
What if settlement on my Beaumaris home falls through and I need storage?
We store your load in our facility, which is climate-controlled and under round-the-clock surveillance. You can keep things there for a few days or several months, and we bring them out once you are ready. If you need a couple of boxes in the meantime, we arrange access.
Do you move pianos from homes near the bay foreshore?
Yes. Pianos are quoted as their own item because they need extra hands and the right gear. Tell us the type and where it sits in the house. On a Beaumaris block with a long driveway or a grade change, we plan the path and crew size around the carry.
Is a bigger crew needed for a five-bedroom home near the Royal Melbourne Golf Club?
Crew size depends on the room count, the heavy items and how far the carry is from the house to the truck. A five-bedroom on a large block will usually need a bigger vehicle and more hands than a three-bedroom on a flat street. We work this out with you before the quote.

Koby and Daniel were fantastic. My mother was moving into a new house, and they made her feel extremely comfortable with their kind approach and can-do attitude. They really focused on keeping her comfortable throughout the move, which I really appreciated. They are a very experienced duo and did a great job.

I just wanted to share my excellent experience with Careful Hands. The teams and pick-up and drop-off were fantastic, and after moving a few times in the past five years, I can easily say that Careful Hands are the best removalists we’ve dealt with. Thanks again for the professionalism, timeliness, accurate quoting, and ability to accommodate some late changes to the plan.
Blair Williams
Zach and his mate (so sorry, dude, I didn’t get your name) were absolute legends, professional and friendly, easy to talk to and got almost everything into the truck minus two items – so the quote was pretty spot on 9 am start, arrived at 9 am! As someone who has had to move many times, this Is the first time we have had a removalist who required minimal guidance and didn’t mess around or make me uncomfortable. We have a three-bedroom townhouse with an in-home gym, tools, benches, etc. The move was done in 6 hours and cost us just over $1000. Great work guys
