Brunswick Removalists
Terrace houses and apartments off Sydney Road, moved by the hour.
Moving around Sydney Road
Sydney Road runs the length of Brunswick with tram tracks down the middle, and the side streets on both sides are lined with Victorian terraces built on narrow lots. Moving here often means a truck parked one street back, a hallway too tight for a three-seater couch carried flat, and no driveway at all. Our Brunswick removalists know how to work these streets, pricing every move by the hour after checking the access.
One person on the truck owns the plan and calls the order from first item to last. Beds and tables get pulled apart for loading and rebuilt wherever you point. 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.
Terraces, cottages and the new apartments
Brunswick’s housing changes from block to block. The terrace rows along streets off Lygon Street and Barkly Street have narrow front doors, sometimes no hallway between the bedroom and the street, and no off-street parking. The weatherboard cottages along the western side are slightly wider but often have a rear lane as the only truck access. Newer apartment blocks on Sydney Road and Albert Street have lifts and loading bays, but those bays fill up and must be booked ahead.
We have trucks in several sizes. For a terrace where the big truck will block the street, a smaller one avoids the problem. If the rear lane is the only way in, we check its width and overhead clearance before the day.
Heading interstate from Brunswick
Brunswick sits on Sydney Road, which runs straight north toward the Hume Highway. An interstate load for Sydney or Canberra takes the Hume from Craigieburn. Adelaide-bound loads head west via CityLink to the Western Ring Road. We run dedicated trucks door to door with an agreed drop-off date. Backloads offer a cheaper option: your furniture travels with another household on the same route and you are charged for the cubic metres you actually use.
If the new place is not ready, we put your things into climate-controlled storage under round-the-clock monitoring and bring them to you when you are set. That works whether you are leaving Brunswick for another state or just waiting on the landlord to hand over a rental down the road in Coburg.
How we wrap and protect your things
Everything gets wrapped in blankets and plastic, then strapped tight in the truck. The lounge that has to be tilted through a narrow terrace hallway off Lygon Street gets the same protection as a fridge rolling out of a ground-floor apartment on Albert Street. Public liability and transit insurance covers every move we do, and our crews are trained in-house.
If you want boxes, paper and tape, or a packing crew to sort the kitchen and wardrobes the day before, add it to the quote. Brunswick has a large student and share-house population, and we handle a single-room move the same way we handle a full house.
Your Brunswick moving quote
Give us both addresses, the room count and anything oversized. Mention stairs, rear lanes, lift bookings or any access that might affect the truck choice. We get back to you with a price and a truck recommendation, and the volume calculator below gives you a starting point. No cost for the quote and no commitment.
The less the crew has to wait, the shorter the bill. In a Brunswick terrace that means boxes packed and stacked by the front door, furniture clear of the walls and a spot held on the street for the truck. Call 1300 724 553 or use the online contact form.

Why Brunswick households book us
The right truck for the street
We have trucks in several sizes and send the one your terrace or apartment actually needs, so the truck fits the street and you pay for the space you use.
Storage between moves
If the new place is not ready, we put your furniture into climate-controlled storage and bring it to you once you have the keys.
Blanket-wrapped and strapped
Every item gets wrapped in blankets and plastic before it goes on the truck. Fridges, lounges and beds are strapped so nothing shifts on the road.
Weekend and evening moves
We run moves seven days a week, including nights, so a share house or office on Sydney Road can move outside business hours.

Common questions from Brunswick movers
Can a truck park on the narrow streets behind Sydney Road?
Most side streets off Sydney Road allow parking on one side only. We check the street beforehand, and if the truck will not fit we either use a smaller one or find a spot on a wider cross street and plan the carry. On streets with rear lanes we can sometimes load from the back instead.
Do you move a single room from a share house?
Yes. Brunswick has a large student and share-house population, and we do partial moves regularly. Tell us the items, the address and the access at both buildings, and we match a truck and crew to the job.
How do you get a couch out of a narrow terrace hallway?
The terrace hallways off Lygon Street and Barkly Street are often less than a metre wide. We tilt or angle large pieces, remove doors when needed and wrap everything in blankets and plastic before it moves. The supervisor plans the exit route before the crew starts.
What is a backload and how does it cut costs?
A backload means your furniture shares a truck with another household heading the same way. You pay for the cubic metres your load fills, not the whole truck. It suits a Brunswick-to-Sydney move well because we already have trucks running the Hume corridor regularly.
Can you move a pool table out of a Brunswick house?
Yes. Pool tables need disassembly, extra hands and the right gear, so they are priced as a standalone job. The main questions are stairs, doorway width and whether the slate top goes through the house or out via a rear lane. Tell us the table size and we plan the crew.

What Our Customers Are Saying
What Our Customers Say
Hear from clients who have experienced our reliable and professional moving services.
We were moving interstate during lockdown, which complicated things, but Rene was accommodating when booking the move. The removal went very smoothly; Adam was friendly and Easy to communicate with. The price was a huge factor, too, and it was the best value out there. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better service.
El Flood
We had Jordan and his mate move our boxes from Hawthorn to Lyndhurst. He did an amazing job. Everything was intact. They arrived at my place on time and started loading the truck without wasting any time. I would highly recommend them to everyone who wants to move house etc. I would use them again if needed. Jordan also assisted us with the washing machine and ensured it was running before they left. Thank you heaps, Jordan. God bless you
