Removalists Ringwood
Hourly moves from post-war homes to new townhouses in Maroondah.
Post-war houses and new townhouses around Eastland
Ringwood grew fast after the war. The streets around Ringwood Lake and along Mullum Mullum Creek are still lined with 1950s and 1960s houses on larger blocks, many with single driveways, carports and mature trees that overhang the path to the truck. Closer to Eastland Shopping Centre and Ringwood station, newer townhouse and apartment developments have basement parking with tight ramps and height limits.
Our Ringwood removalists price local moves by the hour. The rate follows the truck size and crew the job needs, so a quote means we have looked at the driveway, the stairs and the parking. A three-bedroom house in Ringwood North with a straight driveway is a different job from a ground-floor townhouse behind Eastland where the truck has to sit on the street, and the quote says so up front.
Fitting the truck to your street, Eastland to Ringwood East
Around the Eastland Shopping Centre the streets are busy, loading zones fill fast and there is not always room to park a large truck near the door. In Ringwood East the streets are quieter but some of the older driveways are too narrow to reverse a truck in. Ringwood North has wider, more open streets where access is usually simpler.
We ask about the parking, the driveway and any stairs or a lift before quoting. Where a full-size truck will not fit, we drop to a smaller one so the crew moves furniture rather than walks. A supervisor leads every move and calls the loading order for the day. 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, storage and getting the move ready
Interstate moves from Ringwood pick up EastLink heading south to the Monash Freeway. Sydney and Canberra loads head west to the Hume, Brisbane goes via the Hume then north, and Adelaide picks up the Western Freeway. A household leaving Maroondah can take a dedicated truck with an agreed delivery day, or share a backload and pay for the volume the load fills.
If your new place is not ready, we hold your things in climate-controlled storage under round-the-clock surveillance and deliver when you are ready. Every piece of furniture is blanketed, plastic-wrapped and strapped so nothing shifts during the trip. Beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes are taken down for the truck and rebuilt at the new address. If you want the kitchen and wardrobes packed the day before, we send a packing team with boxes, paper and tape. Every job carries public liability and transit insurance, local and interstate alike.
Book your Ringwood move
Send us both addresses, the number of bedrooms, any oversized items such as a piano or a pool table, and what the access looks like at each end. If you are in a townhouse near Eastland, mention the parking and any height limits on the ramp. If it is an older house in Ringwood East with a narrow side path, tell us that too. We come back with a price and a truck size, and you can check the volume yourself with our calculator below. The quote is free and you are under no obligation to book.
The shortest bill comes from a house that is ready when we pull up. Boxes packed and sealed, drawers emptied, the fridge defrosted and a parking spot saved out the front can take an hour off the day. Call 1300 724 553 or fill in the contact form and we will call you back.

Ringwood moving questions
Can you get a truck into a townhouse complex near Eastland?
Most complexes near Eastland have visitor parking or a loading zone, but the spots are small and sometimes blocked by a height bar. Tell us the complex name or address and we will check whether our truck fits or whether we park on the street and carry from there. Either way, it goes into the quote.
Do you work around lift bookings in Ringwood apartment buildings?
Yes. Many of the newer apartments near Ringwood station require a lift reservation for moving, sometimes with restricted hours. Give us the times and any rules from the body corporate and we schedule the move around them.
What is the quickest route for an interstate move from Ringwood?
Most loads head south on EastLink to the Monash Freeway, then onto the Princes Freeway or the Hume depending on the destination. Sydney and Canberra go via the Hume, Adelaide via the Western Freeway, and Brisbane via the Hume then north. We plan the route and departure to avoid peak traffic through the eastern suburbs.
Can you move a pool table from a house in Ringwood North?
Yes. Pool tables are quoted as their own item because they need extra hands and the right equipment. Tell us the table size, whether it needs to come apart for the doorway, and the path to the street, and we plan the crew around it.
How does storage work if there is a gap between my settlements?
We collect your furniture, wrap and strap everything, and keep it in our climate-controlled facility under round-the-clock camera surveillance. When your new place is ready we deliver on a day that suits you. The storage runs for as long as you need, whether that is three days or three months.

Hear from clients who have experienced our reliable and professional moving services.
We had Jordan and his mate move our boxes from Hawthorn to Lyndhurst. He did a fantastic job. Everything was intact, and excellent service was offered. They arrived at my place on time and started loading the truck without wasting any time. I would highly recommend them to everyone who wants to move house etc. I would use them again if needed. Jordan also assisted us with the washing machine and ensured it ran before they left. Thank you heaps, Jordan. God bless you
Sunil Dahiya
Hamish and Adam did a stellar job moving from my two-story townhouse in Barwon Head up to Melbourne. They were professional, lovely blokes who took care of everything, and nothing was too much trouble. I would use them again and highly recommend their fantastic service to family and friends.
Alice Macdonald
Thank you to Careful Hands Removals for such a professional, accessible, and efficient service. We could not be happier with how our move went. They were on time and packed everything carefully, using extra blankets and padding on our more significant items and even wrapping our leather couches. Our settlement was unfortunately delayed on the day, and they had to sit with our truck for an extra 5 hours, but even that was no trouble to them. From getting a quote online to making confirmation emails and phone calls, Rene was knowledgeable, supportive, and efficient in her service. We could not recommend their service more. Thank you, Hamish and the guys; you made a stressful day less, as we knew our family’s possessions were well taken care of.
Wade Britnell
What can I say? It was an absolute treat to get these guys to move house. They provide a very professional, careful, and fast-moving service, especially when you have very large items to move. They were patient and very careful with delicate and expensive items. I would definitely recommend and use this business in the future if I need to move house again! Thank you, Valentin and Sasha!
