Removalists Mont Albert North
Local moves from established homes in the City of Whitehorse, quoted by the hour.
Established homes east of the CBD
Mont Albert North sits 13 kilometres east of Melbourne in the City of Whitehorse, bounded by the Eastern Freeway to the north and Kenmare Street to the south. Most of the housing is established three-bedroom brick homes on tree-lined residential streets between Elgar Road and Union Road. Driveways are often single-width, front gardens are deep, and some older homes have narrow side gates that a fridge will not fit through without tilting.
Our Mont Albert North removalists charge by the hour once we have seen the property and understand the layout. The lead crew member coordinates every step, working out what furniture needs dismantling and how each piece fits on the truck. 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.
Elgar Road, Union Road and the streets between
Elgar Road marks the eastern boundary and Union Road the west, where the suburb meets the City of Boroondara and Balwyn North. The residential streets between these arterials are quiet but lined with parked cars and overhanging trees that can restrict how close a truck parks to the front gate. Some of the older homes have long paths from the street to the front door, which adds carry time the crew needs to account for.
We ask about the driveway, the path and any internal stairs before we quote. If the truck cannot park at the front, we plan the carry from the closest legal spot so the crew keeps moving. Where a property backs onto the Eastern Freeway, rear access is usually blocked by the sound wall, so everything goes through the front.
Wrapping and dismantling in a three-bedroom home
A typical Mont Albert North home has a lounge suite, a dining table, beds in each room and often a study desk or a piano. Every piece is wrapped in blankets and plastic and strapped in the truck so nothing shifts on the road. We dismantle beds, tables and flat-pack wardrobes and put them back together at the other end as part of the job.
If you want the kitchen and wardrobes boxed up as well, book a packing team alongside the move. They handle everything the day before, bringing their own boxes, paper and tape, and mark each carton by room. We carry public liability and transit insurance on every move, so your furniture is covered from loading to delivery.
Straight onto the Eastern Freeway for interstate
The Eastern Freeway runs along the northern boundary of Mont Albert North, which puts an interstate load onto CityLink and then the Hume Freeway within minutes. Melbourne to Sydney, Canberra or Adelaide all start from that same on-ramp. You have two options: your own truck with a firm delivery date, or a shared service where you split the vehicle with another household heading the same way and pay only for the space your goods take up.
If the interstate destination is not ready yet, we store your goods in a climate-controlled facility with camera surveillance and deliver once you confirm the date.

The less sorting the crew needs to do, the fewer hours go on the clock. Tape your boxes, pull everything out of the drawers, open up a path through each room and keep a parking spot free at the kerb. Phone 1300 724 553 or drop us a line via the contact form and we will reply with a quote.

Moving questions for Mont Albert North
How do you get a large truck into a narrow driveway off Elgar Road?
We ask about the driveway width and length before we quote. If a full-size truck will not fit, we send a smaller one that can reverse in and open the ramp clear of the fence. On streets where the driveway is too tight, we park on the road and carry from the front path, factoring the extra time into the quote.
What happens if the house has a long carry from the street to the front door?
Some of the established homes in Mont Albert North sit well back behind deep front gardens. A longer carry adds time, so we account for it in the quote rather than charging for a surprise on the day. The supervisor plans the path and the loading order so the crew carries in one direction without doubling back.
How does an interstate move to Sydney work from Mont Albert North?
We load at your address, head onto the Eastern Freeway and connect to CityLink and the Hume Freeway. You can take a dedicated truck with an agreed delivery day, or share a truck with another Melbourne household and pay only for the space your furniture takes. We deliver to the door in Sydney and carry everything inside.
Can you move us on a weekday while the children are at school?
Yes. Weekday moves are often quieter than weekends, so it can be easier to get the time slot you want. The crew arrives at the agreed time and works through the house while the family is out. We can also work around school drop-off and pick-up times if the move is close to a local primary school.
Do you take apart wardrobes and put them back together at the other end?
Yes. Flat-pack wardrobes, bed frames and dining tables are dismantled as part of the job and reassembled at the new address. If a built-in wardrobe has a freestanding insert, we take that apart too. We bring the tools so you do not need to organise anything separately.
