Removalists Hampton
Bayside moves from period homes to beachside flats, priced by the hour.
Interwar homes on narrow Bayside blocks
Hampton sits between Brighton and Sandringham, 14 kilometres south-east of the Melbourne CBD in the City of Bayside. Much of the housing dates from the 1920s and 1930s, when the old market gardens along Hampton Street were subdivided into narrow residential blocks. Those older homes often have tight side access, single-width driveways, and hallways where a king mattress has to go on its edge. Closer to the station and along South Road, newer apartments and townhouses bring their own challenges: basement ramps, lift bookings and shared driveways.
Our Hampton removalists work to hourly rates. The price follows the truck and crew your move calls for, so a 1930s home on a narrow block near Hampton Street is a different job from a newer unit behind the station, and the quote reflects that before anyone starts lifting.
Parking and access from Hampton Street to the foreshore
Hampton Street is the main shopping strip, and parking along it is tight, especially on weekends. The residential streets between Hampton Street and the beach are quieter, but many have no off-street parking and the blocks sit close together. On the beach side, some properties face Picnic Point or the foreshore, with driveways that can be short and hard to reverse into.
We look at the access before quoting. If the truck cannot reach the front door, we use a smaller vehicle and map the carry to save time. A supervisor is on every truck, setting the loading sequence for the day. 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.
Packing a full home and holding your goods in storage
Older Hampton homes tend to have more furniture than a newer townhouse, and the rooms are smaller, so there is less space to stage boxes before the truck arrives. If the wardrobes and kitchen need packing, our packing team arrives the day before, bringing boxes, paper and tape, and labels everything by room so the unload runs faster.
If your new place is not ready when you have to leave Hampton, we hold your goods in a climate-controlled, camera-monitored storage facility and bring them once the keys come through. Each item gets blanket-wrapped and covered in plastic, then strapped so nothing moves on the road. Beds and dining tables are dismantled for the truck and put back together once they reach the new room. Public liability and transit insurance covers every move we do, local or long-distance.
Interstate from Bayside and getting a quote
Interstate moves from Hampton head north along the Nepean Highway to reach Melbourne’s freeway network. Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide can go as a full truck on a set delivery day, or as a shared backload priced on the cubic metres your furniture needs.
Let us know the two addresses, how many bedrooms you have, any oversized items like a piano or pool table, and how the access works at each end. If the house has a narrow side path or the driveway is short, mention that and we will pick the right truck. We quote for free and there is no pressure to book. The fewer minutes the crew spends waiting, the lower the total, so seal your boxes, empty drawers, defrost the fridge and keep a spot clear out the front. Ring 1300 724 553 or drop us a line through the contact form and we will be in touch.

Hampton removals questions answered
Can you get furniture through the narrow hallways in older Hampton homes?
Most of the interwar homes in Hampton have narrow hallways and tight turns. Our crew checks the path before they start carrying and will tilt, angle or partially dismantle a piece to get it through without marking the walls. If a lounge or bed frame will not fit through the hallway, we take it out through a window or the back door if the side access allows.
Where do you park the truck near Hampton Street?
It depends on the block. Streets close to Hampton Street often have permit parking or time limits. If there is no room out the front, we park in the nearest clear spot and plan the carry from there. Let us know the exact address and we will work out the best position before the day.
How much does a local move within Bayside cost?
It depends on the truck and crew your move needs. The hourly rate is set by truck size, and the clock runs from arrival to the last item placed at the new address. Access at both ends changes the time more than distance does, so a tight side path or a flight of stairs is worth mentioning when you get the quote.
Can you move a piano from a house near Picnic Point?
Yes. Pianos are quoted as their own item because they need extra hands and specialist equipment. Tell us the type, where it sits in the house and the access to the street, and we plan the crew around it. If the driveway is short or the path narrow, we factor that in.
Do you move offices on Hampton Street after hours?
Yes. We move offices and commercial premises 24/7, including nights and weekends. An after-hours move on Hampton Street means the parking is clearer and the shopping strip is quieter, which usually makes the job faster.
