Moving day doesn't have to be stressful

Moving day doesn't have to be stressful

You’ve heard the stories: movers who rush the job, careless handling, or hidden fees that appear only after the truck is loaded. That isn’t us.

At Careful Hands, we’ve built our reputation on a simple promise: to bring care, precision, and honesty back to the moving industry. Every box we lift, every antique we wrap, and every hallway we navigate is handled with the respect your home deserves.

The Team That Treats Your Move Like Their Own

Our crew isn’t just here to get it done; they’re here to get it done right. We don’t use random subcontractors or day labourers. Every person wearing the Careful Hands uniform is a directly employed professional who has undergone background checks and rigorous training in safe handling techniques.

“We don’t just move objects; we move people’s lives. That requires a gentle touch and genuine respect.”

– Hamish Senior Team Leader, Careful Hands Movers

Sam and Gabi have been very professional. They arrived on time and loaded all the items carefully. They were very efficient and timely. They even helped in disassembly and reassembling the furniture. They were willing to accommodate my requests and helped clean up (where required). I have no hesitation in recommending them and their company. Thank you very much!

John and Gabby did a fantastic job for us, even late on a rainy Friday. They had the difficult task of moving all living, kitchen, and laundry furniture down a tight staircase. They did a fabulous job and took great care. Again, thanks so much for your excellent service. We would use CHM again.

I was so glad I booked Careful Hands because Hamish and John’s service was really great. Not only were they on time, but they took great care of our stuff from pickup to drop-off. Communication was easy. Rene was a joy to communicate with and ensured she got all the details right. Finally, the cost is much less than the other removalists I contacted.

Valentin and Sasha, the removalists who turned up, arrived at my home on time. They worked well with me and were careful when moving items downstairs. They even bubble-wrapped furniture to protect the items, which was a bonus. Overall, it’s been the best experience, and I highly recommend using Careful Hands. You won’t have to worry, as it’s in good hands. I will use them again shortly.

This is the second time we have used Careful Hands movers to stage a property for sale, and their service is consistently fantastic. Adam and John were on time, really quick, and took care packing up and moving our belongings. A special mention goes to Rene, who organised the job so easily.
