Removalists
Brighton
out, then back.

A lot of Brighton moves aren't one-way. Knock down and rebuild, and you move twice — out to a rental and a storage unit, then back into the new house a year or so later. We plan both legs at the start.

Where does it all go during the build?

To the rental

35 m³

To storage

20 m³

About 55 m³ in all — three truckloads each way. Four movers usually suits a move this size. The storage share stays packed for a year, so pack it for a year.

Typical volumes for Brighton family homes, garage included. A rough guide to start planning — we confirm from an item list.

What we move

Removalist services in Brighton

A family home off Church Street, a rebuild near the bay, an apartment in Middle Brighton, or a few pieces to the storage unit. Same crew, same truck, no subcontractors.

Rebuilds

Knockdown-rebuild moves

Out before demolition, back after handover. Both legs quoted at the start so nothing about the second move is a surprise.

Large homes

Large home removals

Four and five bedroom houses with a garage, a study and outdoor living. Four movers on request, so a big house is done in a day.

Storage

Moves to and from storage

Into your storage unit before the build, and back out when the new house is ready — loaded so the right boxes come out first.

Heavy & outdoor

Outdoor and heavy furniture

Outdoor settings, pool tables, home gym equipment and stone tables. Declared at quote stage so the crew is the right size.

Office

Office removalists

Practices and shops around Church Street and Bay Street, moved outside trading hours.

Packing

Packing for storage

Boxes that will sit for a year need packing differently. Ours are covered in transit — customer-packed boxes aren't.

Moving out for a rebuild

Pack for a year, not a day

A normal move ends when the last box is unpacked. A rebuild move ends a year later, when you open the storage boxes in the new house. How they were packed and labelled on move-out day decides what you find.

Label by destination, not by room. Rental or storage first, room second. It's what the crew reads on the day.

Decide the split before move-out. The rental is usually smaller than the house. Work out what fits before the truck arrives.

Dismantle what's going into storage. It packs tighter, and flat-pack is only covered in transit when disassembled.

Load storage in reverse. What you'll want first in the new house goes into the unit last.

Review credit

$10 off per review

Post an honest review after your move and take $10 off. Reviews stack across platforms. Each one needs a photo from moving day.

Downsizing near the bay

From the family home to an apartment close by, with furniture that won't all fit going to family or storage.

Selling and buying

Settlement dates that don't line up, with a short storage stop between the old house and the new one.

A rebuild move, start to finish

Two moves, one plan

Before demolition

Item list, the rental and storage addresses, and a split of what goes where.

Move-out day

Two drops

Storage loaded first so the rental gets the everyday things last, and fastest.

Questions

Moving in Brighton

How much do removalists in Brighton cost?
Local moves are charged hourly with two movers and the truck included. Monday to Thursday is $160 per hour with a two hour minimum. Friday to Sunday is $190 per hour with a three hour minimum. A half hour travel fee applies to every booking, and all rates include GST. Extra crew for large homes is quoted separately.
We're knocking down and rebuilding. How does the move work?
As two moves, planned together. The first takes everything out before demolition, split between your rental and a storage unit. The second brings it all back from both places once the new house is handed over. Quoting both at the start means the second move holds no surprises.
How do we decide what goes to the rental and what goes to storage?
Start from the rental's size, since it's almost always smaller than the house. Everyday furniture and the things you'll use in the next year go there; the rest goes to storage. Tag each item before move-out day and label boxes by destination first, room second.
Can you book the move back before we have a handover date?
We can plan it, but lock the date once your builder confirms handover — build dates move. The deposit is fully refundable up to seven days before the move, so there's little risk in booking once the date looks firm.
Do we need four movers for a large Brighton home?
Often, yes. Four and five bedroom houses with a garage and outdoor furniture usually finish faster with four movers, which can cost less overall than two movers on a much longer booking. We'll recommend a crew size from your item list.
Is my furniture insured while it's in storage?
Our Marine Transit Insurance covers your goods while they're being moved, not while they sit in a storage unit. Check what your storage provider covers, or ask your contents insurer about items in storage, before the move. Boxes you pack yourself aren't covered for internal breakage in transit.
Are you the cheapest removalists in Brighton?
No. On a rebuild you're hiring a removalist twice, and the first move decides how the second one goes. Boxes packed loosely for a quick move-out tend to show the damage a year later, when they come out of storage. Compare quotes on both legs together, not on the move-out alone.
Do I need a parking permit in Brighton?
On busy or restricted streets it helps, especially near Church Street and Bay Street. Permits are arranged through Bayside City Council. Our drivers only park legally — if you ask us to park in an unauthorised zone, any fines are your responsibility.
