Removalists Scoresby
Hourly-rate moves from the EastLink corridor, supervisor on every truck.
Moving from Scoresby’s flat streets
Most of Scoresby sits on level ground between Stud Road and Ferntree Gully Road. The blocks are wide, the houses mostly single-storey, and front yards are open enough that a truck can park on the street without blocking traffic. That flat layout makes loading straightforward: no flights of stairs, no steep driveways, and usually a clear path from the front door to the tailgate.
Our Scoresby removalists charge by the hour. A supervisor sets the loading order, decides what comes apart and what goes on last so it comes off first. Beds, dining tables and wardrobes are dismantled at one end and rebuilt at the other as part of the job. Everything is wrapped in blankets and plastic before it touches 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.
EastLink, Monash and the drive between addresses
Scoresby is right beside the EastLink tollway and minutes from the Monash Freeway. A move heading south toward Cranbourne or north toward Ringwood spends most of its transit on a freeway, which cuts drive time compared with the same distance on suburban roads. Shorter drives mean fewer billable hours.
When both addresses are inside Scoresby, the transit is minor and nearly all the time goes into loading and unloading. We ask about hallway widths, any oversized furniture and whether the newer townhouse rows off Stud Road have shared driveways, because access at each end shapes the time more than distance. If parking is tight, we plan where the truck sits before arrival day.
Interstate from Scoresby and storage between dates
EastLink feeds onto the Monash Freeway, then the M1 toward Gippsland or back toward the city and the Hume toward Sydney. We handle interstate jobs either as a dedicated truck with a firm delivery day, or as a shared backload where you pay for the volume your goods occupy. Public liability and transit insurance covers every load, local or long-distance.
If settlement dates leave a gap, we collect your furniture and hold it in a climate-controlled facility with 24/7 surveillance until the new place is ready. We also sell boxes, paper and tape, and can send a packing crew the afternoon before so the kitchen and wardrobes are done and labelled by room. A packed, labelled house loads much faster on the morning, which trims the bill.
Get a quote for your Scoresby move
Give us the two addresses, how many bedrooms, anything heavy like a piano, pool table or fridge, and whether there are stairs or a long walk at either end. We return a truck size and a price. The quote costs nothing and carries no obligation.
The cheapest move is the one that is ready on arrival: boxes sealed, drawers emptied, a spot saved for the truck out front. That alone can shave half an hour off the clock. Call 1300 724 553 or use the contact form and we will reply promptly.

Why Scoresby households book us
Hourly rate, no guesswork
The price depends on the truck and crew your job needs, quoted after we check access at both ends so you see how it adds up before you commit.
Insured for the move
Public liability and transit insurance on every job, so your furniture is covered from the moment we pick it up to the moment we set it down.
A supervisor on every crew
One person on the truck owns the loading plan and the carry order, making sure nothing gets left behind and bulky items go on first.
Right truck for the street
We run several truck sizes and pick the one your street and load actually need, so you are not paying for empty deck space or a second trip.

Common questions about moving in Scoresby
How does EastLink access affect the cost of my move?
A Scoresby move heading south or north on EastLink spends less time in traffic than the same distance on suburban roads, so the billable hours drop. We factor the route into every quote so you know the expected duration up front. Tolls are a separate cost, and we will tell you beforehand whether the route uses them.
Can you move a pool table out of a single-storey house in Scoresby?
Yes. Pool tables are quoted as their own item because they need extra hands and specific gear. Tell us the table size, where it sits and the doorway widths, and we plan the crew around it. Most Scoresby homes have wide front entries and no stairs, which makes the carry straightforward.
What happens if my settlement dates do not line up?
We collect your furniture and hold it in a climate-controlled facility under 24/7 surveillance, then deliver when you have the keys. That can cover a few days or several months while you renovate. Our crews handle both the pickup and the drop-off, so you do not need a second booking.
Do I need to empty drawers and shelves before you arrive?
Yes. Emptying drawers lightens each piece, which speeds up loading and stops anything sliding out in transit. It also lets the crew wrap dressers and desks without pulling drawers on site, saving time.
Can you handle a move from a townhouse with a shared driveway off Stud Road?
Yes. Shared driveways are common in the newer Scoresby townhouse rows. We ask about the width and any visitor parking rules beforehand, then send a truck that fits without blocking neighbours. If the space is too tight, a street-side load is the backup plan.
