Removalists Glen Waverley
Local and interstate moves from Glen Waverley, with the truck matched to your street.
Big blocks, new townhouses and the moves in between
Half the moves we handle in Glen Waverley start at a 1960s brick house on a large block and finish at a townhouse cluster three streets away. The old house might sit on 800 square metres with a double driveway and a backyard shed full of thirty years of belongings. The new townhouse has a shared driveway, a single garage and no staging area out the front. Both are Glen Waverley moves, but they call for different plans.
Our Glen Waverley removalists charge by the hour. You describe both properties, the oversized items and the access, and we set the truck and crew to suit. 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.
Streets around High Street and the station
Glen Waverley is one of Melbourne’s larger suburbs and the streets change character block by block. Along High Street and around the Springvale Road intersection, parking is the main issue on moving day. The side streets between Blackburn Road and the Glen Waverley train station are lined with established homes on big blocks, many now mid-demolition or already rebuilt as townhouse groups with shared driveways and common fences.
Where a new townhouse complex has a single narrow driveway serving three or four homes, a long truck cannot always reach the front door. We check access before we quote, and where the truck will not fit we send a shorter one or park in the street and carry from there. Tell us about the parking and we plan around it.
Packing for a townhouse with no staging room
In a new Glen Waverley townhouse there is often nowhere to stack boxes before the truck arrives. Our packing team can work through the old house the day before, labelling every box by room so the crew loads them in order and unloads them straight to where they belong. That saves time at both ends and keeps the hallway clear.
Everything is wrapped in protective blankets and plastic, then strapped so nothing shifts on the Monash Freeway or on the tight turns through the back streets near Jells Park. Every move is backed by our public liability and transit insurance. Beds and tables are dismantled and rebuilt at the new place. If the new home is not ready, we hold your things in a climate-controlled warehouse under camera surveillance and bring them when the place is finished.
Your Glen Waverley quote
Drop us both addresses, the bedroom count, whether there are shared driveways or steps, and any heavy items. We match a truck and crew and send you a price. Use the calculator below to check the load. There is nothing to sign and no cost for the quote.
Having every box taped shut, drawers cleared, and a spot held for the truck near the front door can shave time off a Glen Waverley job. Call 1300 724 553 or use the contact form.

Glen Waverley moving questions
Can a truck fit down a shared driveway in a Glen Waverley townhouse complex?
It depends on the complex. Some shared driveways off High Street or near Springvale Road are too narrow for a long truck. We check the layout before the day and either bring a shorter truck or park on the street and carry to the door. The time for the carry is factored into the quote.
How do you charge for a move within Glen Waverley?
By the hour. The rate depends on how large a truck and how many crew the job calls for. The clock runs from arrival at the old place to the last item set down at the new one. Access matters more than distance, so mention stairs, lifts and shared driveways when you ask for a price.
Do you move furniture out of a house that is being demolished and rebuilt?
Yes. A lot of Glen Waverley’s 1960s homes are being knocked down and replaced with townhouses. If you need furniture stored while the build happens, we collect it, hold it in our climate-controlled facility and deliver when the new place is finished.
How do you handle a move from a townhouse with a shared driveway off High Street?
We check the driveway width and turning room before the day. If the truck cannot reach the front door, we park on the street and carry from there. The extra carry time is factored into the quote so the price still reflects the actual job.
What if I am downsizing from a big block to a smaller place in Glen Waverley?
Downsizing is common here. If the new place cannot hold everything, we can take the overflow straight to storage on the same day. You decide what stays and what goes into storage before we load, and we split the truck accordingly.

Today, we had a very successful, quick and easy move from Melbourne to regional Victoria. Koby and Gabby were great at making sure every item could be safely transported (even a few things we forgot to include in the quote) and even finished a little earlier than quoted. We recommend and consider using Careful Hands for a future move.
Joseph Clifford
Careful Hands is a very professional company that responded quickly to our queries about moving three commercial fridges to a new location. The three men who arrived to load the fridges were polite, knew what they were doing, and solved problems such as getting a high fridge out with limited space.
Jenny Jackson
We would highly recommend Careful Hands to anyone looking for removalists. On the day of the move, the guys arrived on time. They were polite, helpful, and professional. They worked like troopers and navigated the three flights of stairs without complaint! They handled all of our belongings with care, wrapped everything to ensure there was no damage, and delivered everything safely to our new home. Thank you, Careful Hands!
