Removalists Ringwood North
Moves across the hilly streets east of Melbourne, priced by the hour
Hills shape every Ringwood North move
Ringwood North sits on some of the steeper residential ground in Melbourne’s east, 26 kilometres from the CBD. The streets around Loughnan’s Hill and Glenvale Road climb and drop sharply, and many driveways slope away from the kerb toward garages built into the hillside. That terrain decides the truck size, the crew count and the hours a move takes, so our Ringwood North removalists ask about the gradient and the driveway before quoting.
Most homes here are freestanding houses on separate blocks, often with sheds and backyards that collect decades of belongings. Every crew has a supervisor who walks the house first, decides the loading sequence and runs the job from start to finish. Local moves start at $75 per half hour for two crew and a 20 cubic metre truck. Our removalist prices page shows every truck option and rate.
Winding roads between Loughnan and Warrandyte
The road pattern in Ringwood North is different from the parallel grid in Ringwood itself and from the curving courts in Park Orchards next door. Streets bend between hills and often narrow as they climb, with cars parked both sides cutting the clearance. Loughnan Road, Warrandyte Road and Wonga Road carry through traffic along the suburb’s southern edge, so timing the truck’s entry matters on busy mornings.
Where a large truck cannot turn at the top of a steep court, we bring a smaller one and plan the carry so the crew moves steadily rather than walking empty-handed back and forth.
Furniture care and storage between settlement dates
Every piece of furniture gets blankets and plastic before loading, then straps keep it from shifting on the steep roads between Ringwood North and wherever the new place is. We take beds and dining tables apart before loading and put them back together at the other end. Public liability and transit insurance covers every job we do.
If you need boxes, packing paper and tape we sell those, and a packing crew the afternoon before can wrap the kitchen and the fragile items. When the new house is not ready, we store your furniture in a climate-controlled facility under 24/7 surveillance until you have the keys.
Getting a price for your Ringwood North move
Start by giving us both addresses, how many bedrooms, and any heavy or awkward pieces like a piano, a pool table or a ride-on mower. Let us know the driveway gradient at both ends, whether there are internal stairs and whether a truck can park within a few metres of the front door. We do not charge for quotes and there is no obligation to proceed.
The fewer trips between the truck and the house, the shorter the clock runs. Clearing the path from the front door, boxing fragile items and emptying drawers saves real time on a hilly block. Ring 1300 724 553 or send us a message through the contact form.

What our eastern suburbs crews bring
Quoted on the driveway, not a guess
The rate is set by the truck and crew the job needs. We quote once we see the gradient and the access, so the price reflects the real job before you book.
A truck for the gradient
We run several truck sizes and send the one your driveway and street actually need, so you are not paying for a truck that cannot get close.
Supervised from first box to last
One person on the crew owns the plan for the day, from the loading order at the old house to the room placement at the new one.
Furniture protected for steep roads
Blankets, plastic and straps keep your furniture secure through the hills, so nothing shifts on a steep descent or a tight turn.

Questions about moving from Ringwood North
How do steep driveways around Loughnan's Hill affect the move?
A steep driveway changes how we load. If the truck cannot reverse safely down the slope, we park on the street and carry to the kerb. On very steep blocks we may bring an extra crew member or a second trolley to keep the pace up, and that is factored into the quote so there are no surprises.
Can you reach houses on the winding streets near Warrandyte Road?
Yes. The streets north of Warrandyte Road are narrower and hillier than the grid in central Ringwood. We choose a truck that can navigate the bends and park safely, and we check the route before the day so the driver knows the best approach.
Do you move a piano or pool table down a steep driveway?
Yes, both. They get their own line on the quote because they take extra crew and sometimes a ramp or a skid board. Let us know the type, the rough weight and where it sits in the house, particularly if it has to travel down a steep Ringwood North driveway or a set of stairs.
What happens if our settlement dates do not line up?
We load everything from the old house, take it to storage and deliver to the new place once the keys are yours. You only pay for the time you need, whether that is a few days or several months. For a Ringwood North sale where settlements are weeks apart, it saves you from a double move.
How do you choose which truck to send to a hilly street?
We look at the street width, the driveway gradient and the volume of furniture. A court that narrows at the top of a hill might need a smaller truck that can turn easily, while a house on a wider road like Warrandyte Road or Wonga Road can take a full-size one. The right match keeps the hours and the bill down.

Jordan and Damo moved our house from Surrey Hills to Frankston, VIC. Both men were incredibly friendly, prompt, and fast-working. They ensured all of our furniture was wrapped with Glad wrap and carefully put into the truck. These two guys are all the things you want in a removalist company!
