Removalists Richmond
Inner-city moves through the terraces of Richmond, priced by the hour.
Victorian terraces and the trucks that fit them
Richmond’s single-fronted Victorian terraces sit on narrow lots, most without a front yard or side access, so the truck parks on the street and the crew carries straight through the hallway. A two-bedroom terrace on Mary Street is a different job from a warehouse conversion near Church Street, and the quote says so before we start.
We charge local Richmond moves by the hour. The rate depends on the truck and crew the job needs, quoted once we see the addresses and know the big items. 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. A supervisor runs every crew and decides the loading order, what to take apart and what goes on last so it comes off first.
Swan Street, Bridge Road and the parking problem
Three of Melbourne’s busiest retail strips run through Richmond. Swan Street, Bridge Road and Victoria Street mean traffic and limited parking, especially on a Saturday morning. Tell us about the parking at both addresses and we plan the truck route and timing around it.
Rear laneways behind the terraces around Lennox Street and Coppin Street sometimes offer quicker access than the front door, but only if the lane is wide enough for the truck. We check this before we quote. Beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes are pulled apart and set up again at the new address, and every piece of furniture gets blankets and plastic wrap ahead of loading.
Packing a terrace and storing between settlements
A two-bedroom Richmond terrace has no staging area, so if you want packers, book them the day before. The team wraps the kitchen and wardrobes, labels every box by room, and stacks it ready for the crew in the morning. We sell boxes, paper and tape if you would rather do it yourself.
When settlement dates do not line up, we hold your furniture in our storage facility with climate control and around-the-clock surveillance, then deliver when you have the keys. Every move we run includes public liability and transit insurance. Interstate loads leaving Richmond join CityLink and reach the Hume for Sydney or Canberra, or the Western Ring Road towards Adelaide. You can book a dedicated truck with a set delivery day, or choose a shared backload where you pay for the space your furniture takes up.
How to get a Richmond moving quote
Give us both addresses, how many bedrooms, the bulky items and anything tricky about the access at each end. Stairs, a lift booking or tight on-street parking all shape the truck and the time. We quote for free and there is no pressure to go ahead.
The fastest way to cut the hours on a Richmond terrace move is to have everything packed, drawers emptied and a parking spot saved out the front. That alone can take an hour off the clock. Call 1300 724 553 if you want to talk through the details, or fill in the contact form.

Richmond moving questions
Is there room to park a moving truck on a Richmond side street?
Most of the residential streets between Bridge Road and Swan Street are lined with parked cars, and a few like Lennox Street and Mary Street are one-way. Tell us which street you are on and whether there is a laneway at the back, and we choose a truck that fits and plan the timing so we are not competing with peak-hour traffic on Bridge Road.
How do you move furniture out of a single-fronted terrace?
The hallway is the only way through, so the crew measures the corridor width before they start. Long sofas and bed frames sometimes need to come apart or go out at an angle. If the rear lane is wide enough, we can use it to shorten the carry and keep the front path clear for the rest of the load.
Can you move us from a warehouse apartment near Church Street?
Yes. Warehouse conversions along Church Street and Cremorne often have a freight lift and a loading dock with time windows for truck access. Let us know the building rules when you ask for a quote and we book the lift and dock slot ahead of time so there is no waiting on the day.
What if our Richmond settlement dates do not line up?
We pick up your furniture, keep it in our climate-controlled storage with round-the-clock security, and bring it to the new address once you are ready. The gap might be a few days while settlement sorts itself out, or longer if you are renovating first.
Do you move fridges and washing machines out of a terrace?
Yes. Fridges and washing machines are wrapped and strapped on the truck like everything else. If a fridge will not fit through the hallway upright, the crew tilts it and protects the door seals. Let us know the item dimensions and the doorway width when you get a quote so the crew comes prepared.
