Removalists Flemington
Cottages, terraces and tight streets between the Maribyrnong River and Moonee Ponds Creek.
Cottages, terraces and the crew they need
Wedged between the Maribyrnong River and Moonee Ponds Creek, barely four kilometres from the city, Flemington packs weatherboard cottages and brick terraces onto narrow blocks with no off-street parking and tight front entries. A terrace on a side street off Racecourse Road is a different proposition from a newer apartment near the river, and our Flemington removalists price each one individually after checking the rooms, the heavy items and the entry at both ends.
A supervisor walks the path before loading starts, decides what gets wrapped, what comes apart and what order things go on the truck. Beds and wardrobes that will not clear a cottage doorway whole are taken apart and rebuilt once we are inside. 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.
Loading on Flemington’s narrow streets
Most terraces and cottages in Flemington have no driveway, so the truck parks on the road. The commercial strip along Racecourse Road has clearways and loading zones, and the residential streets either side are tight with cars parked on both kerbs. Mount Alexander Road carries heavy traffic as a main route out of the city, so a house near it may need the truck to approach from a quieter parallel street.
We measure up the street width and check parking rules before pricing. If a full-sized truck will not fit, a smaller one keeps things moving rather than wasting crew time searching for room. If there is a clearway window to work around, we time the arrival so loading wraps up before the restriction kicks in.
Packing and storage for a Flemington move
A terrace cottage does not usually have a spare room to stack boxes, so a packing team the day before keeps the place livable until the truck turns up. Our packers handle the kitchen, the wardrobes and the breakables and mark every box with the destination room, so the crew at the other end knows exactly where each one goes.
When settlement dates slip, we store your furniture in a facility that is climate-controlled and monitored at all hours, then deliver once you have possession. Public liability and transit insurance applies to every move. For interstate, Flemington is close to CityLink, so a household heading to Sydney, Adelaide or Brisbane is on the freeway within minutes. We offer dedicated trucks with a firm delivery date or backloads priced on the cubic metres your load occupies.
Your Flemington moving quote
Give us the pickup and delivery addresses, the bedroom count, any heavy single items and whether there are stairs or a tight entry. We reply with a quote and the truck we would send, and our calculator below gives you a volume figure before you call. Quoting costs nothing, and you are not locked in.
Hourly pricing means a move that is packed and ready costs less than one the crew has to organise. Sealed boxes, emptied drawers, a clear path to the front door and a spot held on the street can shave an hour off a terrace move. Phone 1300 724 553 to talk it through, or drop your details into the contact form.

Flemington move questions
Can you get a large truck down a Flemington side street?
Many of Flemington’s residential streets are narrow, with cars on both sides and no off-street parking for the houses. We measure the street width before pricing and bring a truck that fits. If a larger truck will not work, a smaller one keeps the job moving without delay.
What happens when there is no driveway and the truck parks on the road?
Most terraces and cottages in Flemington have no driveway, so the truck sits on the street. We check clearway times on Racecourse Road and Mount Alexander Road and time the arrival around them. A spot reserved outside the front door shortens the carry and trims the clock.
Do you move people on Melbourne Cup day when the Racecourse is busy?
Yes, we take bookings on Cup day and throughout the Spring Racing Carnival. Extra traffic builds around Flemington Racecourse and Racecourse Road, so we plan routes and arrival times around the congestion. Tell us the date and we factor it in.
How do you protect weatherboard walls and doorframes during a move?
Weatherboard has softer surfaces than brick, so our crews lay blankets over doorframes and corners to prevent scrapes. Large items are tilted and angled through narrow openings rather than forced, and the supervisor walks the path before the crew starts carrying.
Can I add packing to a Flemington move I have already booked?
Yes. A packing team the day before handles kitchens, wardrobes and breakables, marking each box by room so the loading and unpacking both go faster. Add it any time before the move by calling us or updating your quote.

What Our Customers Are Saying
What Our Customers Say
Hear from clients who have experienced our reliable and professional moving services.
I was very happy with Jordan’s service for our move from the outset. Jordan and Ivan were very careful in ensuring all our belongings were handled with care. I was very happy with the shrink-wrapping of our beds! Jordan was very good at communicating with my wife and me about what to do, and we really couldn’t be happier with the service provided. Thanks, guys. I would highly recommend these fellows to anyone.
