Removalists Coburg

Home and office moves across Coburg and the inner north.

Moving house on the narrow lots off Sydney Road

Coburg is 8 kilometres north of the Melbourne CBD, and most of the residential streets between Sydney Road and Merri Creek sit on narrow lots. The front path is usually short, but the hallways can be tight and the furniture has to come out the front door, down a step and straight onto the truck. Our Coburg removalists walk the floor plan before the move starts, decide what needs to come apart and work out the fastest path to the kerb.

The hourly rate is set by the truck and crew the job needs, quoted once we know the access at both ends. 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.

Wrapping, loading and the crew

All furniture is wrapped in blankets and plastic before it goes on the truck. Beds, tables and flat-pack wardrobes come apart before loading and go back together at the new address, included in the rate. A supervisor runs the crew, sets the loading order and makes sure nothing is left behind when the truck pulls away.

We run trucks in several sizes. The streets between Gaffney Street and Moreland Road are wide enough for most vehicles, but the laneways behind Sydney Road can be tight. We match the vehicle to the street so you are not paying for something that cannot park close to the front door.

Packing a Coburg home before the truck arrives

A home on a narrow lot does not leave much room to stage boxes in the hallway. We send packers the morning before your move with all materials to do the kitchen, wardrobes and anything fragile, labelling every carton by room. Every job is backed by public liability and transit insurance, and we store your goods in a climate-controlled warehouse under constant surveillance if settlement dates do not line up. Our crew collects the load and delivers it to the new address.

Interstate moves from Coburg pick up the Western Ring Road and then the Hume to Sydney or Canberra. Adelaide loads head west on the Princes Freeway. You can take a whole truck with an agreed delivery day or share one with another Melbourne household heading the same way, paying for the cubic metres your furniture fills.

Book your Coburg move

Give us both addresses, the bedroom count, anything oversized such as a pool table or fridge, and whether there are stairs or a narrow hallway at either end. We reply with a price, a truck size and a crew count. Use our calculator below to estimate the volume yourself. No fee for the quote, and you are not locked in.

Getting everything into boxes the night before, emptying drawers and reserving a parking space on whichever side street is closest to the front door can shave real time off the job. Call 1300 724 553 or fill in the contact form.

Common questions about moving in Coburg

Careful Hands Movers team loading a truck

How do you manage parking on Sydney Road on moving day?

Sydney Road itself is usually too busy for a truck to stop for long, so for properties facing the road we arrange loading from the nearest side street or laneway. On the quieter streets between Sydney Road and Merri Creek, we can often park directly out the front. Tell us the address when you call and we work out the loading point.

Can you get furniture through a narrow front hallway?

Yes. The hallways in older homes south of Bell Street are often less than a metre wide, so we take beds, tables and wardrobes apart before carrying them out. The supervisor checks the hallway and front door width on arrival and sets the order so the biggest pieces come out first while the path is clear.

Do you take apart beds and wardrobes as part of the move?

Yes. Beds, tables and flat-pack wardrobes come apart before loading and go back together at the new address, all within the hourly rate. If a piece is built in and cannot come apart, we wrap it and plan the carry route before shifting it.

What storage is available if settlement dates do not line up?

We store your goods in a climate-controlled warehouse under constant surveillance. Our crew collects and delivers, so you do not have to arrange a separate trip. Storage can be a few days between settlements on a Coburg home or several months while a renovation is running.

Can you move an office on Sydney Road outside business hours?

Yes. We run office and commercial moves at night or over a weekend so the shopfront or studio opens as usual on Monday. Desks, equipment and IT gear are wrapped and labelled, and we work to a plan agreed beforehand so nothing is missing when the staff arrive.
