Removalists Mitcham
From orchard blocks to new townhouses, priced by the hour along Whitehorse Road.
Where orchard blocks meet townhouse rows
Mitcham is 20 kilometres east of the CBD, in the City of Whitehorse, and the suburb is changing fast. Post-war houses on quarter-acre orchard blocks along Mitcham Road and south of Whitehorse Road are steadily being knocked down and replaced by two and three-storey townhouse clusters with shared driveways and compact garages. Emptying one of the original three-bedroom weatherboards is a very different job from loading into a brand-new split-level townhouse two streets away, and the quote has to reflect that before we turn up with the truck.
We bill by the hour, with the rate tied to the truck and crew the job needs. Give us the rooms, the oversized items and the access at both ends, and our Mitcham removalists size the job accordingly. 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.
Fitting the truck to your Mitcham street
Access in Mitcham varies with the age of the street. The older blocks between Mitcham Road and Heatherdale Road often have long driveways shaded by mature trees, a single concrete strip wide enough for one car, and a back garden the truck cannot reach. Newer townhouse developments off those same streets have shared driveways barely wide enough for a van and garages where front yards used to be. Near Mitcham station on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines, parking tightens on weekday mornings when commuters fill the kerb.
Each job is run by a supervisor who works out the loading plan for the day. Where a full-size truck does not fit the driveway, a smaller one goes in. Every piece of furniture gets blankets and plastic before it sees the inside of the truck, and the load is strapped tight so nothing moves during the drive to Ringwood, Blackburn or wherever the new address is.
Interstate moves and the EastLink connection
Mitcham borders EastLink along its northern and eastern edges, and Whitehorse Road connects straight to the Maroondah Highway, so a household heading interstate has quick freeway access from most streets. We run dedicated trucks with an agreed delivery day to Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra, or a shared load priced on the space your goods use if the timing is flexible.
If you are arriving in Mitcham from interstate, we deliver to the door and carry everything to the rooms you point at. Where the new place is not ready, your goods go into our monitored, climate-controlled facility until you hand us the keys. Every local and interstate move is backed by public liability and transit insurance. Need packing sorted as well? A crew arrives the day before with boxes, paper and tape and works room by room, so the truck team walks into a house that is ready to load.
Your Mitcham moving quote
Give us the addresses, the bedroom count and any bulky items such as a piano or pool table, and describe the access including stairs, lifts or a long driveway. We work out the truck, the crew and the price before you commit to anything. Check the volume yourself first with our calculator below. There is no cost and no obligation.
Preparation cuts the bill. On the older Mitcham blocks where the hallway is long and the driveway is longer, having boxes taped, drawers cleared and a truck spot held out the front makes a genuine difference to the hours. We pull apart beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes at the old place and rebuild them at the new address as part of the service, so there is no need to do that yourself. Ring 1300 724 553 or drop us a line through the contact form.

Mitcham moving questions
How does EastLink help with an interstate move from Mitcham?
EastLink runs along Mitcham’s northern and eastern edges, so a truck heading to Sydney or Brisbane reaches the on-ramp within minutes of most streets. From there it connects to the wider freeway network heading north or south. That short run keeps local driving time low and the billable hours down compared with suburbs that have to push through surface roads to reach a motorway.
Can you move a piano from a house with narrow side access?
Yes. Pianos are quoted as their own item because they need extra hands and specific gear. On the older Mitcham blocks where the driveway is a single concrete strip between fences, we measure the width and plan the route out of the house before the crew arrives. Tell us whether it is an upright or a grand and where it sits in the room, and we size the crew to suit.
Do you dismantle beds and wardrobes as part of the job?
Yes. Bed frames, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes are pulled apart at the old place and rebuilt at the new one, all within the hourly rate. The crew brings its own tools and knows how the common flat-pack systems come apart, which matters in Mitcham’s newer townhouses where bedrooms are compact and a queen bed frame will not clear the doorway while assembled.
What size truck do you send to a Mitcham street?
We run trucks in several sizes and pick the one that suits both the street and the load. A long driveway off Mitcham Road may need a shorter truck that can reverse in, while a newer development near Ringwood North with good street parking might take a larger one. We sort this out once you describe the access at both ends of the move.
Can your packers do the whole house the day before the move?
Yes. A packing team arrives the day before with boxes, paper and tape and works through each room, labelling every box by destination. For a large three-bedroom on one of the original blocks near Vermont or Blackburn with decades of accumulated furniture, that day of packing can shave two or three hours off the truck time the next morning.
