Sunbury Removalists
Home and office moves on Melbourne's north-western fringe, charged by the hour.
How Sunbury’s housing mix shapes every move
Sunbury is a satellite town on Melbourne’s north-western fringe, 38 km from the CBD and about 17 km from Melbourne Airport. The streets range from older weatherboard and brick homes around the town centre to brand-new project houses on estates that were paddocks a few years ago. That mix matters for a move: an established home on Riddell Road has a single driveway and low fences, while a new build in Rosenthal might still have a builder’s skip blocking the court.
We charge by the hour. You describe the two properties, the heavy items and the access, 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. A supervisor leads every move and sets the loading order.
New estates and older streets need different trucks
The newer estates around Sunbury’s north and west, including Rosenthal and Redstone, have wide boulevards but the courts often end in tight turning circles. Driveways are short, construction traffic can block the kerb, and nature strips are sometimes bare dirt. A large truck can get in, but it needs a clear run. We check the street layout before the day and plan where the truck parks, whether that means an early start before trades arrive or a shorter truck and two trips if the court is tight.
In the established streets around the station and along Gap Road, blocks are smaller and some driveways are shared or slope down to a carport beneath the house. Furniture comes up steps or along a narrow path. We size the crew for the carry, not just the load, so the team is moving furniture rather than waiting.
Packing and storage for Sunbury’s settlement gaps
A lot of Sunbury moves involve new builds, and new builds run late. If your house is not ready when you have to leave the old one, we collect your furniture and hold it in climate-controlled storage with round-the-clock camera monitoring, then deliver when you have the keys. Whether that takes a fortnight or half a year, you pay only for the time.
Our crews wrap every item in blankets and plastic and strap it before loading. Beds and dining tables are pulled apart and rebuilt at the new address. The move is covered by our public liability and transit insurance. If a packing crew would help, they can handle the kitchen and fragile items before moving day, and boxes, paper and tape are available when you book.

Why Sunbury households book us
Hourly rates, quoted upfront
We quote an hourly rate after checking the access, the load and the truck size. You see the breakdown before you commit, and the price does not change on the day.
The right truck for the street
We run trucks in several sizes and send the one that fits the court, the driveway or the estate road, so you are not paying for empty space or a second trip.
A supervisor runs every job
One person on the truck owns the loading plan, from the first item wrapped to the last box placed at the new address.
Wrapping and reassembly included
Furniture is blanket-wrapped and strapped on the truck. Beds and tables come apart and go back together at the new place as part of the job.

Sunbury moving questions
Can a large truck get into the courts on Sunbury's newer estates?
Most of them, yes, but some courts around Rosenthal and Redstone are tight when builder traffic is still on site. We check the street layout before the day and plan where the truck parks. If a large truck cannot turn, we bring a shorter one or stage from the kerb.
Do you move pianos and pool tables from houses in Sunbury?
Yes. Both are quoted separately because they need extra hands and specialist gear. Tell us whether the piano is upright or grand, or the pool table dimensions, and where it sits relative to the front door. We size the crew and equipment to match.
What if my new build in Sunbury is not ready on time?
We collect your furniture and keep it in climate-controlled storage with camera monitoring until the builder hands you the keys. Whether that takes a fortnight or half a year, you pay only for the time.
How do interstate moves from Sunbury work?
Sunbury loads head south on the Calder Freeway and pick up the Western Ring Road, then the Hume toward Sydney or the Western Freeway toward Adelaide. You can book your own truck with a set delivery date, or share one with another Melbourne-region load and pay only for the deck space your goods take up.
Is there anything I can do to keep the hours down on a Sunbury move?
Seal every box, empty drawers, pull the fridge away from the wall the night before, and save a clear parking spot near the front door. On a two-bedroom move in Sunbury that can cut close to an hour off the day.

What Our Customers Say
Hear from clients who have experienced our reliable and professional moving services.
Highly Recommended. We had booked our move through another company, which turned out to be terrible and didn’t complete the job, but thankfully, we came across Careful Hand Movers, who came to the rescue. We had Hamish and another gentleman move our 4-bedroom house across Melbourne. These guys worked HARD!! They were nonstop and so accommodating. I couldn’t recommend them with any higher praise. Thank you, guys, for a great job; we are very grateful!
Renee Ivarsen
I moved some things interstate from Sydney to Melbourne in July and found that the process of signing up was easy. I spoke to Rene, who was very helpful with planning. I requested that the drivers help deliver to the storage site. The movers were courteous and moved swiftly and professionally to load the truck. They were careful with the items and stacked and efficiently secured them. The driver, Selas, arrived in Melbourne the next day, unloaded it into the storage unit, helped lock it, and sent me a picture to confirm. I was delighted with the outcome, as planning a move was somewhat stressful, yet it went smoothly. This business is willing to help customers and not just focus on time or money. I used them again subsequently because they were reliable. Thanks!
