Removalists Elsternwick
Local and interstate moves near Nepean Highway, priced by the hour.
Glen Huntly Road, the tram and the streets behind
Elsternwick sits nine kilometres south-east of the CBD in the City of Glen Eira. Tram route 67 runs along Glen Huntly Road at the southern edge of the suburb, and parking on both sides is restricted during peak hours. The side streets between the tram corridor and the Nepean Highway are where most of the housing sits: Victorian and Edwardian cottages with front steps and narrow entries, walk-up flats from the 1960s, and newer apartment buildings closer to the highway.
Our Elsternwick removalists price every job by the hour after asking about the entry, the stairs and how close the truck can park. 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.
Getting the truck close on a tight street
The streets behind Glen Huntly Road are often narrow, with cars parked nose to tail on both sides. We check the route before quoting and choose a truck that fits the street rather than blocking it. Where a big vehicle cannot reach the front door, a smaller one gets closer, and a shorter carry means fewer hours on the clock.
The crew is led by a supervisor who walks the entry, checks the stairs and sets the carry path before anything is picked up. Furniture is covered in blankets and plastic wrap and held firm in the truck so nothing moves during the drive. Beds and dining tables are taken down, carried out and rebuilt at the other end.
When settlement dates slip
In a suburb where buyers often move between nearby Glen Eira addresses, settlement timing rarely lines up perfectly. When the old place has to be empty before the new one is available, we keep your furniture in a climate-controlled facility with round-the-clock camera surveillance and bring it out once you have the keys.
If you would rather not pack the kitchen and wardrobes yourself, a packing team arrives the day before or the morning of the move with boxes, paper and tape. They seal and label every carton by room. Every move we run is covered by public liability and transit insurance, whether the load stays in Elsternwick or crosses a state line.
Your Elsternwick quote
The fastest way to a price is the two addresses and a rough idea of the rooms and major items. We reply with a truck size and a quote, and you can estimate the volume yourself below. No charge, no obligation.
Interstate loads from Elsternwick reach the Nepean Highway in minutes and connect to the freeway network from there. You can book a dedicated truck with a firm delivery day, or split the space with another Melbourne household heading the same way and pay only for the room your furniture fills. On a local move, the hours are what you control. Seal every box the night before, empty the drawers, clear a path from the back bedroom to the front door and hold a parking spot on the street. In a walk-up flat near Glen Huntly Road, those steps can knock a full hour off the bill. Ring 1300 724 553, or drop us a line through the contact form.

Elsternwick moving questions
How long does a two-bedroom flat move in Elsternwick usually take?
A two-bedroom walk-up flat near the station or along Glen Huntly Road usually takes three to four hours. A ground-floor unit with everything boxed and a clear parking spot loads faster than a first-floor place with a narrow staircase. Telling us about stairs and lift access upfront helps us quote accurately.
Can you get a truck into the streets behind Glen Huntly Road?
Some side streets between Glen Huntly Road and the Nepean Highway are narrow with cars parked on both sides. We check the route before quoting and send a smaller truck if needed, or plan the park on a wider cross street to shorten the carry.
How do you protect polished timber floors in older Elsternwick homes?
The crew lays protective sheeting at the entry and along the carry path before anything moves through the house. Furniture legs are wrapped so they do not scratch, and heavy items are lifted rather than dragged. Victorian cottages near the station often have original timber floors, so the supervisor checks the path first.
Can I store my furniture if the new place is not ready?
Yes. Your goods go into a climate-controlled warehouse under camera surveillance and stay there until you give us the delivery date. That can be a few days between settlements or several months while you renovate. Our crews collect and deliver, so the load stays together from pickup to final placement.
Do you work on weekends near the Elsternwick shops?
Yes. We move seven days a week, including public holidays. Weekend parking along Glen Huntly Road is busier with shoppers, so we time the arrival around street conditions and hold a spot if possible. Saturdays book out earliest, so ring us as soon as you know the date.
