Removalists Kilmore

Local and interstate moves from Victoria's oldest inland town.

Moving 65 kilometres north of Melbourne

Kilmore is 65 kilometres north of Melbourne on the old Sydney Road, which means every local move includes travel time the crew has to drive before the clock starts loading. Our Kilmore removalists build that travel into the quote so you see the full cost up front. You tell us the address, the room count, the heavy items and how the property is accessed, and we return with a truck, a crew and an hourly rate. A weatherboard cottage in the main street is a different job from a five-acre block off the Northern Highway, and the price reflects that.

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.

Older homes and creek-side properties

Kilmore grew around three spring-fed creeks, and the streets close to Kilmore Creek often sit lower than the surrounding land. Properties there can have sloping driveways and soft edges after rain, so we check the access and send a truck that can get close without cutting up the verge. The town’s older homes date back to the earliest inland settlement in Victoria. Narrow hallways, solid timber doors and steep internal stairs are common, and some of the heritage homes have furniture that needs careful handling around tight corners.

We pull down beds and dining tables before loading and rebuild them at the other end. Blankets and plastic go around every item, and straps hold them firm on the truck, so a Kilmore-to-Sunbury run or an hour on the Hume down to the city gets the same level of protection.

The Hume Freeway and interstate moves from Kilmore

Kilmore sits just west of the Hume Freeway, which runs south to Melbourne and north through Seymour and Albury to Sydney and Canberra. You can book an entire truck with a set delivery date, or your furniture can ride with another northbound or southbound load and you pay for the volume it fills. Adelaide-bound loads go south first and join the Western Freeway through Ballarat.

We sell boxes, paper and tape, and for a larger Kilmore home with a country kitchen and built-in wardrobes, a packing crew the day before keeps moving day on track. Every move is covered by public liability and transit insurance, and if the new property is not ready we store everything in our climate-controlled storage facility under 24/7 surveillance until you are.

Quote a Kilmore move

Tell us where you are in Kilmore, where you are headed, how many rooms, and anything heavy or hard to reach. We match a truck and crew to the job and send you a price. Quoting costs nothing and you are not locked in.

The fewer hours the crew works, the lower the bill. Having everything boxed, wardrobes cleared out and a park held for the truck out the front makes a genuine difference on a 65-kilometre run. Phone 1300 724 553 if you would rather talk through the details, or send a message through our contact form.

What makes our Kilmore crews different

A supervisor on every crew

One person on every crew owns the loading order and the path through the house. The rest of the team follows their lead, so nothing gets missed.

Trucks in several sizes

A smaller truck for a cottage in the main street, a larger one for a five-bedroom home on acreage. You pay for the space you need.

Rates quoted with travel built in

The 65-kilometre drive from Melbourne is part of the quote, not a surprise on the invoice. You see the full cost before you book.

Every piece wrapped and secured

Blankets, plastic and straps on every item. Heritage furniture from an old Kilmore home gets the same protection as a new flat-pack.

Questions about moving from Kilmore

Removalist carrying a wrapped item to a truck

How long does a move from Kilmore to inner Melbourne take?

The drive is about 50 minutes on the Hume Freeway in good traffic. A two-bedroom home in Kilmore going to a suburb like Sunbury or Epping is a shorter run. We build the travel into the quoted hours so you know the full cost before the crew leaves.

Can you get a truck down a gravel driveway on a property outside Kilmore?

Yes. We ask about the surface and the gradient before we quote. Where the ground is soft or the driveway drops away, we send a truck that can handle it and bring ramps for the tailgate. If a larger truck cannot get close, a smaller one with a longer carry is usually faster.

Do you take loads from Kilmore to Sydney on the Hume?

Yes. The Hume Freeway is right beside Kilmore and runs straight to Sydney via Albury. You can book the whole truck with a set arrival date or your furniture can travel with another northbound load and you pay for the volume it fills. Canberra loads follow the same route and turn off before the border.

What if my Kilmore home has heritage furniture that needs careful handling?

Kilmore’s older homes often have solid timber pieces wider and heavier than modern flat-pack. We wrap each one in blankets and plastic, take beds and tables apart if they will not fit through the doorway whole, and plan the path through tight hallways before the crew starts lifting.

Can you hold furniture if my new place is not ready when I leave Kilmore?

Yes. We collect your furniture, store it safely and deliver when you are ready. The hold runs from your pickup date until you hand us the keys to the new place.

How do you get a heavy piano out of an old Kilmore hallway?

The hallways in Kilmore’s older homes are narrow and the doorways are solid timber, so we measure the clearances before moving day. The crew tilts the piano onto a skid board, pads the door frames and walks it through on edge where a straight carry will not fit. Uprights and grands are each priced separately because they need more hands and the right gear.

Hamish and Jordan turned up 15 minutes before time. They worked both carefully and quickly. For a company that charged by the hour, they really didn’t take their time or drag it out. They were attentive, careful, and helpful. They dismantled and rebuilt the bed and handled the piano without issue.

Jordan and his coworker were very positive and helpful. I was in absolute chaos moving house for the 8th time in 5 years. They are by far the best removalists, and they are fast!

Adam and Hamish were fantastic at moving us into our new home. They had no issue moving from one three-story townhouse to another three-story house and took care of every single box and item. I would highly recommend them and will be using them for our future moves!

I was so lucky with the service provided by Jordan and Ivan for my first home move in Melbourne. They were very careful in ensuring all our belongings were handled with care. I was very happy with the shrink-wrapping of our beds! Thanks, guys. I would highly recommend these fellows to anyone!
