Removalists Boronia
Home moves through the foothills, from the station village to the edges of the Ranges.
Moving on the edge of the Dandenong Ranges
Boronia sits 29 kilometres east of Melbourne’s CBD, right where the flat suburban grid starts climbing into the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges. The streets are tree-lined, the blocks slope, and many of the houses date from the 1960s and 1970s when the suburb filled out after the railway brought commuters east. That housing age means established gardens, front steps instead of ramps, and driveways that can be steep and narrow.
Our Boronia removalists check access at both ends before quoting. A supervisor picks the truck size and plans the carry so the crew is not struggling up a hillside path with a fridge or a wardrobe. 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.
Trees, slopes and older homes
The streets around Boronia station and the older part of the suburb have mature eucalypts that overhang the road. A taller truck can clip branches, and low-hanging limbs sometimes block a driveway entirely. We check clearance before the day and send the right height truck for the street.
Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often sit above the road with a flight of front steps and no internal lift. A weatherboard on a sloping block near the Ranges end of the suburb can mean a long carry from the front door to wherever the truck can park. The supervisor plans that carry before anyone lifts a piece of furniture, not after the crew arrives.
Between houses or between cities
If the new place is not ready when you have to vacate the old one, we keep your furniture in our climate-controlled facility, which has 24/7 surveillance, and bring it to you when the keys arrive. Boronia homes from the 1960s and 1970s are popular renovation projects, and storage bridges the gap between moving out and moving back in.
Interstate loads from Boronia head west to EastLink and join the Monash Freeway. Sydney and Canberra traffic takes the Hume, while Adelaide-bound trucks head for the Western Ring Road. You can have a dedicated truck with a firm delivery day, or share with another Melbourne household and split the cost by how much room your load takes.
Wrapping and dismantling for the drive
Your furniture is blanketed, plastic-wrapped and strapped in the truck before the drive begins, whether that is a short run within Knox or a day on the Hume to Sydney. Beds, dining tables and wardrobes are taken apart for the move and reassembled once unloading is done at the other end.
A packing team is available if you want the kitchen, wardrobes and shelves packed and labelled ahead of the move. Boxes, paper and tape are available to buy if you prefer to handle it yourself. Our crews work under public liability and transit insurance on every job.
Quote for a Boronia move
Let us know both addresses, what rooms are involved, whether there are slopes or stairs, and any oversized items that need special handling. We get back to you with a truck recommendation and a price. No charge for the quote and no obligation attached.
Having the place ready when the crew walks in is the surest way to keep hours low. Sealed boxes by the door, emptied drawers, branches trimmed back from the driveway and a clear path to wherever the truck parks all save real time. Phone 1300 724 553 or drop us the details through the contact form.

Boronia move questions answered
Can your truck fit under the trees on the older streets near Boronia station?
We check clearance before the day and send a truck that fits the street. Where mature eucalypts overhang the road or the driveway, a lower-profile truck avoids damage to branches and the vehicle. If there is no way to get close, we plan a short carry from a clear spot nearby.
How do you move furniture from a weatherboard with front steps and no ramp?
The crew carries each piece down the steps, angling items like lounges and fridges to clear the doorway and the landing. The supervisor checks the steps and the path before loading starts and decides whether extra hands are needed. Taking beds and wardrobes apart first makes them lighter and easier to manoeuvre through tight spaces.
What route does an interstate move take from Boronia?
The truck heads through the suburb to EastLink, then joins the Monash Freeway. Sydney and Canberra loads follow the Hume north, while Adelaide loads go west on the Western Ring Road. A dedicated truck with an agreed delivery day or a shared backload priced on volume are both available.
Can you store furniture while a 1960s Boronia house is being renovated?
Yes. We keep your load in our climate-controlled facility with 24/7 surveillance for as long as the renovation takes and deliver when the house is ready for you to move back in. No need to arrange a separate removalist for the return trip.
Do you move pianos and pool tables from homes on sloping Boronia blocks?
Yes, each is quoted as a standalone item because it requires extra crew and specific gear. Describe the instrument or table and whether the house is above or below street level, and we plan the approach and truck around it.

Gaby and Koby were accommodating and professional. My move was pretty complex, with limited parking at the departure site and two sets of stairs in my new home. Nothing was a problem, and they worked a very long day to ensure I was fully moved in. I have had other moving experiences that weren’t nearly as good as this one. Thank you, gents. I would recommend Careful Hands Moving and Gaby and Koby.
