Removalists Box Hill South
Post-war brick-home moves from Canterbury Road to Gardiners Creek.
Brick homes and grid streets in Box Hill South
Box Hill South is a grid of quiet residential streets between Canterbury Road and Gardiners Creek, 14 kilometres east of the Melbourne CBD. Most of the housing is post-war brick on standard blocks, which means front doors are close to the street, driveways are short and straight, and a truck can usually park right out the front. Every move is charged by the hour. The rate follows the truck and crew size the job calls for, quoted once we know the access.
A supervisor leads every job and decides the loading order. We take apart beds, tables and wardrobes and rebuild them at the new place. 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.
Canterbury Road, Middleborough Road and the streets between
Canterbury Road, Elgar Road and Middleborough Road frame the suburb, and the grid between them gives trucks clear routes in and out. The main challenge is parking on Canterbury Road itself, where clearways and bus lanes limit where a truck can stop during the day. If you are on Canterbury Road or Riversdale Road, tell us the parking situation and we plan the loading around it.
Closer to Gardiners Creek the blocks slope toward the water, and some of the houses along Station Street sit lower than the road. Our Box Hill South removalists check the gradient and the turning room before quoting, so the truck we send suits the street.
Dismantling, wrapping and packing a Box Hill South home
Post-war brick homes in Box Hill South often have heavy solid-timber wardrobes and sideboards that were built into the room, and our crews dismantle them without marking the timber or the walls. Everything goes on the truck wrapped in blankets and plastic, strapped in place and covered by public liability and transit insurance.
We can send a packing team the day before to handle the kitchen and the wardrobes. Boxes, paper and tape are included in that quote. When settlement dates do not line up, we store your furniture in our climate-controlled facility, which runs 24/7 surveillance, and deliver when the new place is ready.
Interstate from Melbourne’s east
An interstate load from Box Hill South heads west to the Hume Freeway for Sydney and Canberra. Pick a dedicated truck with a set delivery day, or a backload priced on the cubic metres your goods take up.
If you are arriving in Box Hill South from another city, we deliver to the door and set everything down room by room. When the new place is not ready, storage bridges the gap until you have the keys.

Common questions about Box Hill South moves
Do you dismantle built-in wardrobes and heavy sideboards?
If they need to come apart to get through the door, yes. Post-war brick homes in Box Hill South often have solid-timber wardrobes and sideboards that are too wide for the hallway in one piece. Our crew removes the doors and shelves, wraps each part separately, and puts it back together at the new place.
Is there a minimum job size for a Box Hill South move?
No. We move single items, studio apartments and full five-bedroom houses. The truck and crew size match the job, so a small move gets a smaller truck and fewer hours, and you pay accordingly.
Can you move an office on Canterbury Road at night?
Yes. Office and commercial moves are available 24/7, including nights and weekends. A night or weekend move on Canterbury Road avoids the daytime clearways and bus-lane restrictions, and the business opens on Monday without losing a trading day.
How does a shared backload work for an interstate move?
Your furniture shares a truck with another load heading the same way, and you pay only for the cubic metres your goods take up. It suits a smaller household where the load does not fill a full truck. We give you an agreed delivery day before you book, and our crew delivers to the door at the other end.
What is included in the hourly rate?
The clock covers loading at the old place, the drive, and unloading at the new place. Wrapping furniture in blankets and plastic, strapping it in the truck, and dismantling and reassembling beds and tables are all part of the job. Packing services and boxes are available as an add-on if you need them.
Where can I store furniture if the new place is not ready?
In our climate-controlled storage facility, which has 24/7 surveillance. We collect from Box Hill South and deliver when you have the keys. Storage suits a gap between settlement dates or a longer wait while you renovate, and the cost follows the time you need.
