Brick homes and villa units in a suburb that is changing

Most of Moorabbin’s housing dates from the 1940s to the 1970s: three-bedroom red or cream brick homes on standard blocks, many of them now being knocked down and replaced with villa units and townhouses. That mix means the truck and crew on a Moorabbin move can change from job to job. A three-bedroom brick home with wide hallways and a flat driveway is a quick load, while a two-storey townhouse with an internal staircase and a shared driveway takes more planning.

You give us both addresses, the room count and the large items, and our Moorabbin removalists work out the right truck and crew. Every crew has a supervisor who works out what goes on the truck first and what needs wrapping or taking apart. We dismantle beds, tables and flat-pack wardrobes and reassemble them once they are in the new place. 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.

Moorabbin residential street with brick homes

Getting a truck in and out of Moorabbin streets

Moorabbin sits 15 kilometres south-east of the Melbourne CBD in the City of Kingston. The residential streets are mostly straight and flat, but the older brick homes have driveways that were built for one car, not a removal truck. Where the driveway is too narrow, we park on the street and plan the carry. Villa unit developments often share a single crossover, so we check whether there is room to reverse in before the day.

The eastern side of the suburb has been an industrial zone since the 1960s, so if you are moving a warehouse, showroom or workshop, we can run that at night or over a weekend. Tell us the loading dock layout and we bring the right vehicle.

Storage between the knockdown and the new build

A lot of Moorabbin moves happen in two stages: out of the old brick home while it is demolished, and into the new build months later. We keep your furniture in our climate-controlled warehouse, monitored around the clock, and bring it out when the new place is ready. If you only need a few days between settlement dates, that works too.

We wrap each piece in moving blankets and plastic and strap it into the truck so nothing moves during the drive. We stock moving boxes, packing paper and tape, and a packing team can come the day before to handle the breakables. Every job carries public liability and transit insurance.

Interstate loads from Moorabbin

Moorabbin is close to the Nepean Highway and the Monash Freeway, so interstate loads heading to Sydney or Canberra connect to the Hume quickly. Adelaide runs go west through the Western Ring Road. You can book your own truck with a locked-in delivery date, or use a backload that runs with another Melbourne household, priced on the volume your furniture fills.

If you are arriving in Moorabbin from interstate, we deliver to the door and carry everything to the rooms you point at. Moorabbin station is nearby, and if you are moving to one of the villa units within walking distance of the train line, we can time the delivery to avoid peak parking on those streets.

Get your Moorabbin move priced

Tell us both addresses, the room count and the big items, plus anything about the access like a shared driveway or stairs. We work out a truck size and quote it. There is no cost for the quote and no obligation to go ahead.

You can cut real hours off the total by having everything ready when the crew knocks. Packed boxes, empty drawers and a clear path from the front door to the street make the biggest difference. Ring 1300 724 553 or use the contact form and we will call you back.

How we run a Moorabbin move

Blankets, plastic, straps

Every item is wrapped in moving blankets and plastic then strapped into the truck, which matters on the heavy timber pieces from post-war homes.

Hourly rate, quoted upfront

The charge depends on the truck and crew we send, and we quote it after checking the access at both ends so you can see how the total is built.

Trained crews, same standard

A supervisor leads every crew and our people are trained by us. The team at a villa unit works to the same standard as the team at an old brick home.

Truck sized to the block

We run several truck sizes and send the one your street actually needs, so you are not paying for empty capacity or a second trip.

How do you handle a move from a 1950s brick home that is being knocked down?

We move everything into climate-controlled storage and keep it until the new build is finished. If you know which items are going to the new place and which are not, we can separate them before they go into storage so delivery is quicker later.

Is there room for a truck outside the newer villa units near Moorabbin station?

Usually, but the shared driveways on villa unit developments can be tight. We check the crossover width before quoting and send a truck that can reverse in safely. If the driveway is too narrow, we park on the street and use trolleys for the carry.

Can you move stock or equipment from the Moorabbin industrial area?

Yes. We handle commercial and warehouse moves, including at night and on weekends. Tell us the loading dock height and layout, the type of equipment and any disassembly needed, and we plan the truck and crew around it.

What truck size suits a three-bedroom red-brick home on a standard Moorabbin block?

A three-bedroom home with a standard amount of furniture usually fits on a 30 to 40 cubic metre truck. If you have large items like a piano or a pool table, we might go bigger. We size the truck to the job so you are not paying for space you do not use.

Do you wrap the heavy timber furniture common in post-war Moorabbin homes?

Yes. The solid timber sideboards and dining settings in these older homes are heavy and mark easily, so the wrapping matters more, not less, on those pieces. Everything goes into blankets and plastic and gets strapped in for the drive.

How long does a typical local move within Kingston take?

It depends on the rooms, the furniture and the access at both ends. A three-bedroom brick home going to a villa unit a few streets away might take half a day. Stairs, narrow driveways or a lot of heavy items can push it longer.
