Removalists Bentleigh
Hourly moves across Bentleigh, Bentleigh East and the Glen Eira area.
Moving in Bentleigh’s flat streets and new builds
Bentleigh sits on flat ground 13 kilometres south-east of the CBD, but flat does not mean simple. The older weatherboard houses along the streets between Centre Road and McKinnon Road usually have wide frontages and room for a truck at the kerb. The newer townhouses and unit developments that have replaced many of those blocks have shared driveways, narrow side paths and tandem garages that change the way furniture comes out.
We quote Bentleigh moves by the hour, with the rate set by the truck and crew each job needs. A two-bedroom unit in Patterson with a single shared driveway takes less time and a smaller truck than a four-bedroom house backing onto Halley Park, and the quote reflects that before anyone lifts a box. 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.
What drives the hours on a Bentleigh move
Access at both ends is what sets the time. A house with a driveway up to the front door in Patterson loads faster than a second-floor unit off Centre Road where the truck parks around the corner. If both addresses are in the Glen Eira area, say Bentleigh to Ormond or Carnegie, the drive between them takes minutes, so loading and unloading make up most of the bill.
Our Bentleigh removalists put a supervisor on every truck. That person plans the loading order, works out what needs to come apart and makes sure every item is covered in blankets and plastic with straps holding it in place. Beds and tables come apart at the old house and go back together at the new one, whether the new place is in Moorabbin, Brighton or Elsternwick.
Packing, storage and what your move includes
If the kitchen and wardrobes in your Centre Road unit need packing before the truck arrives, we send a team with boxes, paper and tape. You can also buy packing supplies from us and do it yourself. All moves are covered by our public liability and transit insurance.
When settlement dates slip, we store your furniture in our climate-controlled facility under 24/7 surveillance and deliver once you have the keys. That covers a gap between two Bentleigh houses or a few months while a renovation in Murrumbeena or Oakleigh South finishes. Interstate loads from this part of Melbourne pick up the Monash Freeway and connect with the Hume for Sydney or Canberra. You can take a truck of your own with a set delivery date, or share space on a truck heading the same way and pay only for what your furniture takes up.
Getting a quote for your Bentleigh move
Tell us where you are now, where you are going, how many bedrooms and whether anything heavy like a piano or pool table needs special handling. We come back with a truck size and a price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation to book.
Pack everything before we arrive, clear the hallway, label the boxes by room and hold a spot for the truck outside your Bentleigh townhouse. That preparation can take an hour off the bill. Call 1300 724 553 or use the contact form and we will call you back.

Bentleigh moving questions
What size truck will you send to a Bentleigh townhouse?
It depends on the number of rooms and the access. A two-bedroom townhouse with a narrow shared driveway off Centre Road usually suits a smaller truck, while a four-bedroom house on a wide block can take a larger one. We ask about both addresses before we quote so the truck fits the street and the load.
Can you move a piano out of a house near Centre Road?
Yes. Pianos are quoted as their own item because they need extra hands and the right equipment. Tell us the type of piano, where it sits in the house and whether there are steps or tight turns in the hallway, and we plan the crew and the route out of the building.
Do you cover moves between Bentleigh and suburbs like Hampton or Oakleigh South?
Yes. We move to and from any suburb in Melbourne, not just the Glen Eira area. Hampton is south toward the bay and Oakleigh South sits east of Bentleigh. For these short trips the hourly rate keeps the cost low because the drive between addresses is only a few minutes.
Do you move people from the new apartments near Bentleigh station?
Yes. The station-precinct developments along Centre Road have lifts and basement car parks, so the crew uses trolleys to the loading dock and keeps a truck nearby on the street. We ask about building access rules and lift booking windows before quoting so the timeline is realistic.
Can you store furniture if my Bentleigh East settlement is delayed?
Yes. We collect your load and hold it until you have the keys to the new place. You do not need to arrange a second truck because the same crew that picks up can deliver, and we keep your items together so nothing goes missing between houses.
