Terraces
Terrace house removals
Single and double-fronted Victorians with a long hallway and a stair that turns. Planned around the staircase, not the truck.
Richmond · VIC 3121
Richmond terrace stairs are narrow, steep and usually turn halfway up. The sofa that came in through a wide front door can stop dead at the landing. We work out what fits before moving day, and take apart what doesn't.

Your staircaseA sofa and a turning stair is the classic problem.
Length matters more than width at a landing. Many sofas tip on end and make the turn; some won't. Better to know a week out than on the landing.
Measure: sofa length and depth, stair width at the narrowest point, and the headroom above the turn.

What we move
A double-storey terrace off Bridge Road, a warehouse apartment near the river, a rental flat near Swan Street, or a single couch across to Cremorne. Same crew, same truck, no subcontractors.
Terraces
Single and double-fronted Victorians with a long hallway and a stair that turns. Planned around the staircase, not the truck.
Dismantling
Bed frames, wardrobes, tables and desks taken apart downstairs and rebuilt in the new place. Often the only way up a terrace stair.
Apartments
Converted warehouses and newer blocks near the river, with lifts, narrow corridors and loading rules to work around.
Rentals
A one or two bedroom flat out by the final inspection. Small moves often fit inside the two hour weekday minimum.
Office
Studios and shops along Bridge Road, Swan Street and Church Street, moved outside clearway hours and trading times.
Packing
We pack and wrap so it's covered under transit insurance — customer-packed boxes aren't.
Parking in Richmond
Richmond's main roads all carry trams, and most have clearways at peak times. A removal truck can't sit on a tram line or in a clearway, so the loading spot is usually around the corner — and that's worth planning before the day.
Side streets, not main roads. A 4.2m truck fits the narrow residential streets behind the shops.
Clearway hours are signposted. If your front door is on a main road, we time loading to sit outside them.
Permit zones fill early. A temporary permit from the City of Yarra holds space outside your door.
Watch the footy calendar. Big MCG event days slow everything near Punt Road and Swan Street.

On-time guarantee
5% off if we're late
We book every move inside a 3 hour arrival window. Arrive outside it and 5% comes off your invoice automatically — you don't have to ask.
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.
Rates shown are for local moves with two movers. Dismantling and reassembly happen on the clock, so knowing beforehand what needs taking apart keeps the booking shorter. A standard double-storey terrace is one flight — the stair fee only applies above two.

Renters moving on short notice, with the final inspection fixing the date and no room to run late.
A first terrace after years in an apartment, where everything bought for a lift now has to go up a stair.
Warehouse and factory apartments near the Yarra, with freight lifts, long corridors and their own loading rules.
Short hops to South Yarra and Prahran, close enough that a second trip is easy if one load won't do it.
Five minutes with a tape measure
Usually at the handrail or the turn, not the bottom step.
Long items get tipped on end to make the turn. They need the height.
Terrace bedroom doors are often narrower than the front door.
Length, depth and height. Photos help as much as numbers.
