Balaclava Removalist
Removalists Balaclava
Urban Movers is a friendly team of removalists in Balaclava (VIC 3183), helping renters, families and small businesses move in and around Melbourne’s inner south. Balaclava sits about 7 km south-east of the CBD in the City of Port Phillip, built around the busy Carlisle Street shopping strip. Our rates start from $120 an hour, and you pay the same price on weekends. With 10 years of experience, we know how to plan moves around trams, walk-up flats, tight parking and period homes.
Movers in Balaclava Who Know the Area
Balaclava is close-knit and busy, and moving here takes a bit of local planning.
- Trams on Carlisle Street. Tram routes 3 and 16 run along Carlisle Street, and Balaclava Station sits right next to the shopping strip. Our trucks can’t block the tracks, so we plan loading from side streets or rear lanes wherever we can.
- Walk-up flats and stairs. Many Balaclava homes are flats in older brick blocks, often with stairs and no lift. We bring enough hands, and we protect stairwells and railings as we go.
- Permit parking and tight streets. Parking near Carlisle Street is busy, and many side streets have time limits or permit zones. We check where the truck can stop before moving day and plan the shortest carry to your door.
- Carlisle Street upgrades. Port Phillip Council has endorsed a streetscape plan for Carlisle Street, with works staged over the coming years. We keep an eye on any changes to access when planning your move.
How Much Do Removalists in Balaclava Cost?
Our rates start from $120 an hour, with no extra charge on Saturdays or Sundays. A studio or one-bedroom flat often takes a few hours. A larger period home, or a townhouse over several levels, will take longer and may need an extra mover.
What affects the price:
- The size of your home and how much you’re moving
- Stairs in walk-up flats and multi-level townhouses
- How close the truck can park, especially near trams and permit zones
- The distance to your new home
- Packing, boxes or furniture assembly
- Heavy items like pianos, fridges or large bookcases
- Tell us about your move and we’ll send you a clear written quote before the day.
