Removalists Oakleigh South
Hourly moves across Kingston and Monash, from Huntingdale station to the Dingley Bypass.
Post-war brick homes and single-car driveways
Oakleigh South filled up after the Second World War when Greek and Italian families bought large blocks between North Road and the Dingley Bypass and built their own houses. Decades on, those original brick places along streets off Warrigal Road and Clarinda Road still sit behind narrow single-car driveways with side fences close to the eaves. On moving day that means a large truck at the kerb and a long carry across the lawn, or a smaller truck reversed up the drive to cut the distance.
Our Oakleigh South removalists price every job by the hour, so the vehicle we select directly affects your bill. Give us the room count, the bulky pieces and the access at each address, and we match a truck and crew. 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.
From Warrigal Road to Huntingdale Road
The suburb spans two councils: Kingston south of Centre Road, Monash to the north. Most residential streets run between Warrigal Road on the west and Huntingdale Road on the east. Carroll Road and Bourke Road near Mavis Hutter Reserve are typical: single-storey brick, open front lawns, and kerbside parking that fills by mid-morning. Closer to the Dingley Bypass the lots widen, but driveways remain tight.
A supervisor walks through both addresses before loading begins. Where a large vehicle cannot reach the front door, we bring one that fits the gap. Every piece of furniture gets blanket-wrapped, sealed in plastic and strapped inside the truck. Beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes come apart at the old place and go back together at the new one.
Holding goods between settlement dates
Selling in Oakleigh South with nowhere to put the furniture for a week or two? We pick everything up, keep it in our climate-controlled facility with round-the-clock surveillance, and drop it off once the new keys are in your hand. The same arrangement covers a longer renovation.
We carry public liability and transit insurance on every move. If you would rather not pack yourself, our team arrives the day before, wraps the glassware, empties the wardrobes and labels each box by room so the loading crew can work in order the next morning.
How to get a price
Email us the two addresses, the bedroom count, anything heavy like a piano or pool table, and whether either end has stairs or a long path from door to truck. We reply with a figure and a truck recommendation. No charge for the quote and no obligation attached.
Keeping the bill low is mostly about preparation. Seal the boxes, empty the drawers, save a parking spot out front and clear the path to the door. For interstate work, Warrigal Road runs straight into the Monash Freeway and the M1, so loads bound for Sydney, Canberra or Brisbane leave the suburb without crossing back through the city. Ring 1300 724 553 or fill in the contact form and we will call you back.

Oakleigh South moving queries
Can a truck reverse up those narrow Oakleigh South driveways?
Many of the post-war places between Warrigal Road and Clarinda Road have single-width driveways flanked by brick fences. We check the width and surface before quoting. Where the gap is too tight for a standard truck, a smaller vehicle reverses in and shortens the carry from door to tray.
Which freeway does an interstate load from Oakleigh South use?
Warrigal Road feeds into the Monash Freeway heading east, which joins the M1. Sydney and Canberra loads follow the Hume from there; Brisbane loads continue north. The truck leaves the suburb without doubling back through the CBD.
Do you take beds and tables apart?
Yes. Beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes are dismantled here and reassembled at the destination. The supervisor carries the hardware bag so bolts and brackets stay with the right piece.
How long can you store my things between settlements?
As long as you need. A few days between contracts is common, but we also hold furniture for months during a renovation. The facility is climate-controlled with round-the-clock surveillance, and we deliver on the day you nominate.
Is on-street parking near Mavis Hutter Reserve tight on weekdays?
It fills quickly once the morning commute starts. Holding a kerb spot the length of the truck on Carroll Road or Bourke Road saves the crew from carrying furniture further than necessary, which keeps the hours down.
