Removalists Altona | Downsizing & Multi-Stop Moves

Altona · VIC 3018

Removalists
Altona
not one address.

People stay a long time in Altona, and when they finally move it rarely goes to a single place. Some to the new home, some to storage, a few pieces to the kids. Most quotes assume one drop-off. We don't.

Where is it all going?

Tick everywhere your things need to end up. Each stop changes how we plan the day.

1 stop

A straightforward single-destination move. Quoted on hours in the usual way.

Extra stops are charged as additional time at your booking rate, not as separate jobs. We'll work out the order so the truck loads once, in sequence.

What we move

Removalist services in Altona

A family home off Pier Street, a unit near the beach, a shopfront on the strip, or a split move across three addresses. Same crew, same truck, no subcontractors.

Downsizing

Downsizing and split deliveries

One load, several destinations. We sequence the truck so the last stop is loaded first, and nothing gets handled twice.

House & unit

House movers for Altona homes

Post-war houses on generous blocks, with driveways and usually room for the truck at the kerb.

Storage

Storage runs

Overflow into storage before a sale or a build, and back out again when the new place is ready.

Furniture

Furniture removalists

Blanket-wrapped and strapped on a carpet-lined truck, dismantled at pickup and reassembled at delivery.

Office

Office removalists

Shops and offices around Pier Street and Millers Road, moved outside trading hours where that suits better.

Packing

Packing and unpacking

We pack and wrap so it's covered under transit insurance — customer-packed boxes aren't.

Thirty years in one house

The hardest move to quote

A long-tenure move isn't a bigger version of a rental turnover. Decisions get made on the day, things turn up that nobody remembered, and the destination list grows while you're loading. It needs planning, not just a bigger truck.

Stops planned in advance. We load in reverse order so each drop-off comes off the back without unpacking the rest.

Decide before moving day. Sorting what stays and what goes with the crew standing there is the expensive way to do it.

Four movers when it helps. A large home with several stops often finishes sooner, and cheaper, with a bigger crew.

No rushing. Thirty years of a house takes the time it takes. We'd rather quote that honestly than run over.

Moving in the area

Altona and around

We're a moving company working out of Spotswood, covering Altona and the surrounding City of Hobsons Bay — Seaholme, Altona North, Altona Meadows, Laverton, Newport and Williamstown.

Looking for a removalist in Altona on a weekday, or movers in Altona for a weekend? Weekday bookings carry the lower rate and the shorter minimum, which matters most on a long, multi-stop day.

Downsizing after decades

From the family home into a unit or a retirement village, usually with several destinations in one day.

Out to the newer west

Moving to Point Cook, Williams Landing or Werribee for more space — far enough that one well-planned load beats return trips.

In from the inner suburbs

Families leaving Yarraville or Footscray for a bigger block near the beach, often with a storage leg in between.

Deceased estates

Handled calmly and without pressure, with contents split between family, storage and charity as the family decides.

Questions

Moving in Altona

How much do removalists in Altona 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.
Can you deliver to more than one address?
Yes, and it's one of the more common requests we get in Altona. Extra stops are charged as additional time at your booking rate rather than as separate jobs. Tell us every address at quote stage so we can load the truck in the right order — last stop loaded first, so nothing needs unpacking along the way.
Can you take things to storage on the same day?
Yes. A storage leg is just another stop. Worth checking your facility's access hours before booking, since some close earlier than people expect and that can decide the order we run the day in.
We're downsizing and haven't decided what's going. Is that a problem?
Not if you tell us. We'd rather quote a realistic range and talk it through than take a tight estimate that falls apart on the day. What does cost money is deciding with the crew standing in the hallway, so the more you sort beforehand, the shorter the booking.
Are you the cheapest removalists in Altona?
No. And on a downsizing move the hourly rate is rarely what decides the final bill — the loading order is. A crew that didn't know about the storage stop until the truck was full will cost you more at $150 an hour than a planned day costs at ours. Tell whoever quotes you about every address and see who asks the right questions.
Are my belongings insured?
We carry Public Liability and Marine Transit Insurance. Three things to know: boxes you pack yourself aren't covered for internal breakage, cover is void if anyone other than our crew loads or unloads, and assembled flat-pack furniture isn't covered unless disassembled first.
Do you charge extra for stairs?
Only where the move involves more than two flights. Tell us about stairs at any of your addresses when you book — including the destination — so it's in the quote rather than a surprise.
How do I pay?
Cash, bank transfer, EFTPOS or a secure online payment link. Payment clears before we unload at the final address.
