Cottages
House movers for workers' cottages
Two-room frontages, a long central hallway and a kitchen extension out the back. Often faster loaded from the lane than the street.
Yarraville · VIC 3013
Half of Yarraville is best reached from the back. Bluestone laneways run behind the cottages, and on a single-fronted street they're often the only sensible way in. Our truck is small enough to use them.

What we move
Workers' cottages off Anderson Street, renovated weatherboards near the village, units by the station, or a single couch to Seddon. Same crew, same truck, no subcontractors.
Cottages
Two-room frontages, a long central hallway and a kitchen extension out the back. Often faster loaded from the lane than the street.
Furniture
Blanket-wrapped and strapped on a carpet-lined truck. Dismantled at pickup and put back together at the other end.
Units
Newer blocks near the station and along the main roads, with lift bookings and shared driveways to coordinate.
Office
Shopfronts and studios around the village, moved outside trading hours where the strip makes daytime parking impossible.
Small moves
A single item, a share-house room, or a few pieces across the inner west. Same insurance, smaller booking.
Packing
We pack and wrap so it's covered under transit insurance — customer-packed boxes aren't.
The back-lane advantage
A standard removal truck can't turn into a Yarraville bluestone lane, so it parks on the street and every piece gets carried the length of the house. A smaller truck changes that arithmetic.
Two metres wide. Narrow enough for many rear lanes that full-size trucks can't enter at all.
Load from the back door. Skip the carry through a narrow hallway and past the original fireplaces.
Less carrying, fewer hours. You're billed by the hour, so a shorter carry is money you keep.
We check before we commit. Lanes vary — some are too tight or blocked by bins and fences. A photo settles it.

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. Extra crew for heavy items is quoted separately. Interstate is a fixed price per cubic metre. Extra charges apply for more than two flights of stairs — tell us at quote stage and it goes in the quote, not on the invoice.
Moving in the area
We're a moving company working out of Spotswood, 1.7km down the road, covering Yarraville, Seddon, Footscray, Kingsville and the rest of the City of Maribyrnong.
Need a removalist in Yarraville on a weekday, or movers in Yarraville for a weekend? Being close means we can often slot you in at short notice when a gap opens up.
Period frontage, modern extension at the back — which usually means the heaviest furniture is furthest from the street.
Single rooms moving in and out, often mid-lease and on short notice. Ideal for a two-hour weekday booking.
Around Anderson and Ballarat Streets, where daytime parking is scarce and early starts make the difference.
Moving out of a rental into a first cottage, frequently from another inner west suburb a few kilometres away.
