Removalists Nunawading
Post-war homes and new townhouses moved by the hour from the Springvale Road end of town.
Post-war blocks and the new builds replacing them
Nunawading is centred at the intersection of Whitehorse Road and Springvale Road, 18 kilometres east of the CBD in the City of Whitehorse. The suburb grew quickly after the war when brick veneer houses went up on the old clay and orcharding land, and those houses are now being knocked down for two and three-storey townhouse clusters with tight shared driveways. Emptying an original three-bedroom brick veneer on a big block near Tunstall Square is nothing like loading into a brand-new townhouse on a subdivided lot off Springvale Road, and the price has to say so upfront.
Hourly billing means you pay for the time the job actually takes. Describe the rooms, the heavy items and the access at each end, and our Nunawading removalists match a truck and crew to suit. 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.
How we wrap and load on the day
A supervisor leads every crew and maps out the loading sequence before anyone lifts a box. Blankets and plastic go on before anything leaves the room, and strapping holds the load steady for the drive, whether it is five minutes to Blackburn or across town toward Box Hill. Beds and tables are broken down for the truck and reassembled in the new rooms, all within the quoted hours.
Nunawading’s older brick veneers typically have wide hallways and clear front paths, which makes the carry straightforward. The newer townhouses are tighter. Shared driveways running between fences are common along the streets south of Tunstall Road, garages are narrow, and internal stairs between levels mean the crew has to plan the route for every large piece. We ask about the layout before the quote goes out so the crew knows what to expect and nobody pays for time spent working things out on the morning.
Storage for the gap between homes
A lot of Nunawading moves involve downsizing from a large post-war block into a smaller townhouse, and the new place is not always ready when the old one has to go. We can hold your furniture in secure, climate-controlled storage for as long as you need, from a few days between settlements to several months while a rebuild finishes. Our crews handle the collection and delivery, so your goods stay with the same team from pickup to final placement.
Want the packing sorted too? Our team comes in the day before with boxes, paper and tape and works through each room, labelling everything by where it goes. For a household that has been on the same block near Tunstall Avenue or Luckie Street for decades, the packing alone saves hours on moving day. Every job carries public liability and transit insurance.
Ask us about your Nunawading move
List the rooms, the big items and the access at each end, and we put together a truck, a crew and a price. Use the calculator below for a volume estimate. No cost, no strings attached.
If the old place is one of the bigger blocks near Mitcham or Box Hill with a garage full of stored furniture, mention that so we bring the right truck the first time. Sealed boxes, cleared drawers and a spot for the truck out the front all keep the hours down. If you are shifting within the Whitehorse council area or heading further afield to Vermont, Doncaster East or Ringwood, the same hourly rate applies. Ring 1300 724 553 or use the contact form.

Nunawading moving questions
Can you move from a townhouse on a subdivided Nunawading block?
Yes, and we do it regularly. The new developments off Springvale Road and around the old Tunstall area often have a shared driveway barely wide enough for a van and internal staircases between levels. We send a truck that clears the access and plan the carry through the house before the crew starts loading, so nobody wastes time figuring out angles on the morning.
Is parking an issue for moves near Whitehorse Road?
It can be. Whitehorse Road carries heavy commercial traffic and the side streets near the Springvale Road intersection have timed parking during business hours. Hold a spot for the truck out the front, and if restrictions apply we time the loading around them. The closer the truck sits to the front door, the fewer trips the crew makes and the fewer hours you pay for.
Do you move offices and commercial spaces on weekends?
Yes, commercial and office moves run around the clock, including nights and weekends. For the retail and wholesale businesses along Whitehorse Road or near the Tunstall Square precinct, we schedule the move around trading hours so the shop or office opens the next day without disruption. The same hourly rate applies regardless of the day.
How are your hourly rates set for a Nunawading move?
The rate depends on the truck size and crew the job needs. A two-bedroom townhouse near Box Hill South might need two people and a mid-size truck, while a four-bedroom house on one of the original big blocks near Vermont could need three people and a larger one. We work that out once you describe the job and lock in the rate before moving day.
Can you store furniture while a renovation runs over?
Yes. Your goods go into secure, climate-controlled storage with round-the-clock monitoring, short or long term. Our crews collect from the old place and deliver when you are ready, so the furniture stays with the same team throughout. For the older Nunawading homes being demolished and rebuilt as townhouses, that storage can stretch to several months without any issue.
