Our Removal Services in Glen Iris
Glen Iris is leafy and family-friendly, and a few local details shape how we plan a move here.
- Two councils. Glen Iris is split between the City of Boroondara and the City of Stonnington. Parking permits and rules can differ depending on which side of the suburb you’re in, so we check your street ahead of time.
- Down by Gardiners Creek. Streets near the Gardiners Creek trail slope down into the valley, and some homes have steep driveways or front steps. We plan the safest place to park and carry.
- Bungalows with extensions. Many Glen Iris homes are interwar or Californian bungalows that have been renovated with big open-plan living areas out the back. We protect polished floors and new finishes, and measure large furniture before lifting.
- High Street and trams. Trams run along High Street, and the shopping strips around High Street and Burke Road get busy on weekends. We load from side streets where possible.
- Freeway access. The Monash Freeway runs along the creek, which makes trips across Melbourne quick, as long as we avoid peak hour.
How Much Do Removalists in Glen Iris Cost?
Local moves are charged by the hour for the crew and truck. Our rates start from $120 an hour for two movers and a truck. A typical three-bedroom home usually comes to around $900 to $1,200, depending on how much you’re moving and how easy the access is. Larger renovated homes can take a little longer.
What affects the price:
- How much furniture and how many boxes you have
- Stairs, sloping driveways and how close we can park
- How far it is between your old and new home
- Trams, school traffic and permit parking
- Whether you’d like us to pack for you
- You’ll get a written quote before you book, so you know exactly what to expect.

Our Services
Comprehensive Moving Solutions
House Removalists
This is the service most Glen Iris families book. We turn up with a fully equipped truck, wrap your furniture in padded blankets, take apart beds and tables, and load everything securely. At your new place, we put it all back together and set it up where you want it. Many local homes are character houses with modern extensions, so we take care with both old timber floors and new finishes.
Furniture Removalists
Need just a few heavy things moved? We can shift a couch, dining suite, piano stool or wardrobe across town or between rooms, with the same care as a full move.
Office Relocations
We relocate home offices, clinics, studios and shops around Glen Iris and the High Street strip. We’ll pack up desks, computers and files, then set them up again, often after hours, so you’re back to work quickly.
Two Men and a Truck
For apartments, units and smaller homes, two movers and a truck is usually all you need. It’s efficient, affordable and quick to book.
