Removalists Ivanhoe East
Hourly moves through tree-lined Ivanhoe East streets.
Period homes and leafy streets in Ivanhoe East
Ivanhoe East is one of Melbourne’s leafy inner-east suburbs, set around Lower Heidelberg Road and Chandler Highway, close to Yarra Bend Park. The houses range from interwar bungalows to large period homes on wide blocks, and many still have the heavy timber furniture that was built to match the house. The rate depends on the truck and crew the job needs, and we quote once we see the access at both ends.
Our Ivanhoe East removalists handle the careful dismantling that older homes demand. Every crew has a supervisor who plans the loading order and decides what to take apart. Beds, tables and wardrobes come apart on site and go back together at the new address. 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.
Tree canopy and turning room
The streets off Lower Heidelberg Road and the blocks closer to Yarra Bend Park are lined with established trees, and the canopy can be low enough to matter when a truck needs to reverse in. We check the overhead clearance and the turning room before the day so the driver knows exactly where to park. Properties near the river sit on sloping ground, which means a longer carry from the truck to the front door.
If a full-size truck cannot get close, a smaller one keeps the job moving without the crew carrying furniture further than they need to. Chandler Highway and Lower Heidelberg Road have full overhead clearance and room for a truck to pull over.
What happens to your furniture on the day
Everything goes on the truck wrapped in blankets and plastic and strapped in place. Period furniture with carved legs or glass panels gets extra protection, and our crews know how to dismantle an old wardrobe without marking the timber. A packing team can do the kitchen and wardrobes the day before if you prefer not to do it yourself, and we supply the boxes, paper and tape.
Your load is covered by public liability and transit insurance whether it goes straight to the new address or into our climate-controlled storage facility while you wait for the keys.
Interstate from Melbourne’s inner east
An interstate load from Ivanhoe East heads west to the Hume Freeway for Sydney and Canberra. A dedicated truck gives you a firm delivery day, or a shared backload lets you pay for just the space your furniture occupies.
Arriving in Ivanhoe East from another state? We bring everything to the door and place it room by room. If your settlement is delayed, we store the lot and deliver once you have the keys.

Ivanhoe East moving questions, answered
Will a truck fit under the tree canopy on my street?
Most of the time, yes. Streets in Ivanhoe East have mature trees and some have low-hanging branches, so we check the overhead clearance before the day. If the canopy is too low for the larger truck, a smaller one does the job with an extra trip factored into the time. Lower Heidelberg Road and Chandler Highway have full clearance for any truck we run.
Can you dismantle period furniture without damaging it?
Yes. Our crews take apart old wardrobes, sideboards and dining suites without stripping the joinery or marking the timber. The supervisor checks each item before it comes apart and decides the right approach. We put everything back together at the new place as part of the job.
How long does a typical Ivanhoe East move take?
It depends on the home and the access. A two-bedroom house on a flat street off Lower Heidelberg Road might take three to four hours with a two-person crew. A larger period home near Yarra Bend Park with narrow internal stairs and heavy furniture takes longer. We quote the hours up front once we know the job.
Do you offer storage if the new place is not ready?
Yes. We hold your furniture in our climate-controlled facility under 24/7 surveillance and deliver when you have the keys. Storage works short or long term, whether it is a few days between settlements or several months during a renovation in Ivanhoe East.
What should I do to get the house ready for moving day?
Pack boxes and tape them shut, empty drawers of fragile items, and clear a path from each room to the front door. If your street has permit parking, arrange a spot for the truck near the house. In Ivanhoe East, where many driveways are shared or sit behind a front garden, keeping the truck as close as possible saves time and keeps the bill down.
