Removalists Laverton
Hourly moves from the Williams Landing estates to the older Hobsons Bay side.
Where the old base meets the new estates
Laverton straddles the Hobsons Bay and Wyndham boundary, and the streets change sharply between the two. The Williams Landing estates that replaced the old RAAF airfield are mostly two-storey townhouses on narrow lots with shared driveways and rear-access garages. The older Hobsons Bay side has single-fronted houses on wider blocks where a truck can pull right up to the front door. Our Laverton removalists choose the truck and crew once we know which side of the suburb the job sits on, and the hourly rate is quoted before anyone books.
The supervisor on the truck plans the loading order and works out what needs wrapping and what comes apart. We pull down beds, tables and flat-pack wardrobes for loading and rebuild them 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.
Rear garages and narrow laneways in Williams Landing
The Williams Landing streets are wide enough for a truck, but the driveways are the challenge. Rear-access garages and shared laneways mean the walk from the truck to the front door can be long, and a larger truck sometimes cannot park within easy reach. We plan the load so the crew is carrying furniture rather than walking empty-handed between trips. On the older Hobsons Bay side, on-street parking can fill up during the day, so if you can hold a spot out the front it saves time.
Every item of furniture is blanket-wrapped and covered in plastic, then strapped into the truck. Fridges and washing machines are secured upright for the drive, whether we are heading across to Altona or out on the Princes Freeway.
Heading west via the Princes Freeway
Laverton is right beside the Princes Freeway, so an interstate load heading to Geelong, Adelaide or anywhere along the western corridor leaves without crossing the city. You can book a dedicated truck with an agreed delivery day, or put your furniture on a backload and pay for the room it uses rather than hiring the whole truck.
If you are moving to Laverton from another state, we bring the truck to your door, carry everything inside and put it where you want it. When the new place is not ready, your furniture goes into our climate-controlled storage under round-the-clock surveillance until you have the keys.
Packing and boxes for the new townhouses
The townhouses in the new estates are compact, and there is often nowhere to stage boxes the night before. Our packing team can arrive on the morning, pack the kitchen and wardrobes and hand straight to the loading crew so nothing blocks the hallway. Boxes, paper and tape are for sale if you prefer to do it yourself.
All moves are covered by public liability and transit insurance. Our crews are trained by us, so the same people who wrap the china cabinet load it on the truck and carry it into the new house.
Talk to us about your Laverton move
Give us the two addresses, how many bedrooms and whether there is anything heavy like a piano or pool table. We quote a truck size and a price, and you can check the volume first with our calculator below. The quote costs nothing and there is no obligation.
The fewer hours the move takes, the less it costs. Having boxes sealed, drawers cleared out, a parking spot saved outside and the laneway gate open before we arrive can knock real time off the day. Ring 1300 724 553 or fill in the contact form and we will call you back.

Common questions about moving in Laverton
How do you handle the rear-access garages in Williams Landing?
We check the driveway and laneway widths before quoting. If a large truck cannot get close, we send a smaller one or plan a relay so the crew carries furniture in one direction rather than walking back and forth empty-handed. Telling us about the garage access up front means the quote is accurate and the crew arrives with the right truck.
Can you move a piano or a pool table from Laverton?
Yes. Both need extra hands and particular handling, so they are quoted separately. Give us the make of the piano or the dimensions of the table and where it sits, and we build the crew around it.
What truck sizes do you run for Laverton moves?
Several sizes, from a compact truck for a one-bedroom Williams Landing townhouse up to a larger one for a full house on the Hobsons Bay side. We match the truck to the load and the access so you do not pay for empty space or a second trip.
Is storage available if settlement dates do not line up?
Yes. We pick up your furniture and hold it in climate-controlled storage with round-the-clock surveillance. When you have the keys we bring it back. That covers anything from a few days between settlements to months during a renovation.
Can a packing team start on the morning of the move?
Yes. If there is no room to stage packed boxes overnight, which is common in the smaller Williams Landing townhouses, we send the packing team first and they hand straight to the loading crew. Everything gets done on the one day.
