Removalists Alphington
Urban Movers is a friendly, reliable team of removalists in Alphington (VIC 3078), helping families, renters and professionals move across Melbourne and beyond. Alphington sits about 7 km north-east of the CBD, between the Yarra River and Darebin Creek, and is split between the City of Darebin and the City of Yarra. Our rates start from $120 an hour, and you pay the same price on weekends. With 10 years of experience, we know how to handle inner-city moves, from new apartments to older family homes on leafy streets.
Movers in Alphington Who Know the Area
Alphington is close to the city, but it has its own quirks on moving day.
- New homes on the old paper mill site. The former paper mill at Heidelberg Road and the Chandler Highway is now a large new neighbourhood of apartments, terraces and townhouses. We ask about lifts, loading bays, basement height and booking times, so your building is ready for us.
- Two councils in one suburb. Homes north of Heidelberg Road are in Darebin, and homes to the south are in Yarra. Parking rules and permits can differ, so we check where the truck can stop before moving day.
- Heidelberg Road and Chandler Highway. These busy roads link Alphington to the Eastern Freeway and the rest of Melbourne. We plan the route and start time to avoid peak traffic and save you paid hours.
- Shared postcode with Fairfield. Alphington and Fairfield both use 3078, so we confirm your full address when you book to make sure the truck goes to the right street.
How Much Do Removalists in Alphington Cost?
Our rates start from $120 an hour, with no extra charge on Saturdays or Sundays. A one-bedroom apartment often takes a few hours. A larger family home, or a townhouse over three levels, will take longer and may need an extra mover.
What affects your price:
- The size of your home and how much you’re moving
- Lifts, stairs and multi-level townhouses
- How close the truck can park to your door
- The distance to your new home
- Packing, boxes or furniture assembly
- Heavy items like pianos, pool tables or large mirrors
- Tell us about your move and we’ll send you a clear written quote before the day.
