Removalists Mentone
Beachside flats, character homes and the Nepean Highway, handled by the hour.
Older homes and beachside flats along Beaumaris Bay
Mentone was laid out as a resort town and still carries the theme: the streets between Nepean Highway and the water have Italian names like Florence, Venice, Milan and Cremona, and the houses on them range from Edwardian weatherboards to newer unit blocks close to the beach. A move from one of the older houses involves wider rooms and heavier furniture, while a beachside flat means a lift booking, limited parking and a shorter carry. Our Mentone removalists price every job by the hour and pick the truck once we know the access at both ends.
Every crew has a supervisor who works out the loading order and what needs to come apart. We take beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes down for loading and rebuild them at the new address.
Truck access near the highway and the station
Nepean Highway cuts through Mentone and the narrow residential streets either side of it can make truck positioning tight. The level crossing at Balcombe Road was removed when the new Mentone station went in, which opened up that intersection but pushed more parked cars into the side streets. On move day, a spot held out the front of the house makes a real difference to loading time.
We ask about the access before quoting. If a larger truck will not fit, we send a smaller one or plan the carry so the crew spends its time on furniture rather than walking. Each piece goes into blankets and plastic wrap and gets strapped down for the trip.
Between settlement dates on the bay
Coastal settlements can slip, and if your dates do not line up we store your furniture in our climate-controlled facility, secured with round-the-clock surveillance, and deliver once you have the keys. That covers anything from a few days between sales to months while a renovation finishes. Public liability and transit insurance is on every move, so your things are covered from pickup to final placement.
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 Mentone flat
The flats near Mentone Beach are compact, and the kitchens and wardrobes take the longest to pack properly. Our packing team can come in the day before, wrap the glassware, box the pantry and label everything by room, so on moving day the crew loads straight from sealed boxes. Boxes, paper and tape are for sale if you would rather do it yourself.
Anything too wide or tall for a doorway comes apart before loading and goes back together at the other end. That covers beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes, handled as part of the move.
Get a price for your Mentone move
Send us the two addresses, the number of bedrooms and anything large like a piano or pool table. We come back with a truck size, a crew and a price. You can estimate the volume yourself with our calculator below. The quote is free and obligation-free.
The quickest move is the one that is ready when we arrive. Boxes sealed and labelled, drawers empty, a parking spot saved outside and the lift booked if you are in a block can shave real time off the day. Call 1300 724 553 or use the contact form and we will get back to you.

Why Mentone residents choose us
Quoted to the job
The price follows the hours, and the rate depends on the truck and crew the access demands. We quote after checking the street and the building.
Matched to the street
Trucks come in several sizes. We pick the one that fits Mentone's narrow side streets off the highway, so you pay for what you need rather than what blocks the road.
A supervisor on site
One person on the crew owns the loading plan, decides what comes apart and sets the order so unloading at the new Mentone address is quick.
Wrapped for the drive
Every item goes into blankets and plastic before loading, and straps hold everything in place. Appliances stay upright so nothing shifts on the highway.

Mentone moving questions answered
How do you manage parking on the narrow streets near Mentone Beach?
We ask about parking when we quote. If the street is permit-only or heavily parked, holding a spot out the front before we arrive cuts the carry distance and the time. On the Italian-named streets closer to the water, a smaller truck sometimes works better than a large one that cannot get close.
Can you move from an upper-floor flat without a lift?
Yes. We carry furniture up and down stairs regularly. Tell us the floor and whether there is a lift so we can quote the right crew size. A walk-up takes more hands and a bit more time, and the quote reflects that rather than surprising you on the day.
Do you run interstate moves out of Mentone?
Yes. We run Melbourne to Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Canberra as either a dedicated truck with an agreed delivery day or a shared backload priced on the space your load uses. Mentone is close to the Nepean Highway, so getting onto the freeway network is straightforward.
What gets wrapped and what gets taken apart on move day?
All furniture is wrapped in blankets and plastic and strapped in the truck. Beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes are dismantled before loading and reassembled at the new address. The supervisor decides the order based on the truck and the rooms.
How far ahead should I book for an end-of-month move?
As early as you can. End-of-month and school-holiday periods are the busiest. But call us even with short notice, and if a truck is free we will fit you in.
