Ashburton Removalist
Removalists Ashburton
Urban Movers is a team of trusted removalists in Ashburton (VIC 3147), helping locals with house moves, furniture moving and small office relocations. Ashburton is a leafy suburb about 12 km south-east of the Melbourne CBD in the City of Boroondara, with homes that range from 1920s houses and postwar walk-up flats to new apartments and three-storey townhouses. Our rates start from $120 an hour and stay the same on weekends. With 10 years of moving experience across Melbourne, we match the right crew and truck to your home so the day runs smoothly.
Movers in Ashburton Who Know the Area
Ashburton packs a lot of different home types into a small suburb. Here’s what our team plans for.
- The rail line splits the suburb. The Alamein line runs through the middle of Ashburton, with Ashburton and Alamein stations both inside the suburb. The quickest route between two streets isn’t always the obvious one, so we plan the truck’s route to avoid detours.
- High Street village. Ashburton’s shops sit along High Street, which gets heavy foot and car traffic. For homes and businesses on or near the strip, we plan loading times and spots ahead, and use side streets where we can.
- Postwar homes and walk-up flats. Much of Ashburton south of High Street was built as a housing estate after World War II, with single-storey concrete and brick homes and clusters of walk-up flats. Flats without lifts mean every item goes up and down the stairs, so we send enough hands to keep things moving.
- New apartments and townhouses. New apartment buildings have gone up near Markham Reserve, with more under construction, and many older blocks are being replaced by two and three-storey townhouses. These can need lift bookings, tight internal stair carries and careful parking, which we sort before the day.
