Glass and timber, protected first
Floor-to-ceiling glass gets boarded before a single carton moves, and polished boards walk on felt runners, not luck. The protection run is a scheduled step, never an afterthought.

Removalists in St Ives
Movers who know these houses from the inside. Half-flights, sunken lounges, floor-to-ceiling glass and long garden carries, planned in writing before a single carton moves.

Why the plan comes first
The hard part of a move here is inside the house, and the last 40 metres
Split-levels are a sequence
Half-flights, landings and sunken lounges decide the order the rooms empty. We count them on the walkthrough and the written plan carries the sequence, level by level.
Moving a split-level
The last 40 metres
Battle-axe paths, deep gardens, canopy over the drive. The carry from the door to the truck gets drawn like the rooms do: ground protection down, gates measured, trolley relay set.
How a house move runs
The written move plan
Every move here ships with its own drawing set
Before moving day you hold a written plan: which rooms empty in what order, what leaves through which opening, where the protection starts and stops, and how long each stage should take. Not a promise on a phone call. A document.
-
The walkthrough
We walk the route with you and count what matters: half-flights, door widths, the piano, the path to the kerb.
-
The plan, in writing
Sequence, crew, protection list and staging points, room by room. You read it before you book anything.
-
The protection run
Boards over glass, felt on timber, guards on corners. The house is dressed before the first carton lifts.
-
The carry, in order
Two on the load, one calling the treads. The truck is packed to unload straight into the new floor plan.
What we move
Built for the houses this suburb actually has
Split-level and architect homes
Mid-century split-levels, glass pavilions, houses you chose because of how they are built. Moved by a crew that respects the building as much as the furniture. This is the work we plan hardest for.
The flagship service
Downsizing and estate moves
Leaving a house after twenty or thirty years is a different job from a rental changeover. Method, patience, and a plan that carries the decisions you have already made, on a timeline that is often not yours.
Method and patience
Full house moves
The trade's ordinary work, done properly: two to five bedrooms, packed, carried, delivered in sequence.
Packing and protection runs
Cartons, paper and wrap for the accumulation; boards and felt for the house itself.
Pianos and heavy single items
Half-flight geometry makes this real here. Trolleys, straps and three sets of hands.
Apartments, units and villas
Village-centre units and over-55s villas, where most downsizers land. Lifts booked, corridors protected.
Rates
Three crews, one page of honest numbers
Hourly, door to door, with the crew size matched to the house on the walkthrough. Book online and the lower rate applies. No call-out fee games, no quote theatre: the same three rates for everyone.
| The job | Crew | Online rate | Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apartment or unit | 2 movers + 1 truck | $200/hr | $250/hr |
| House, 2 to 3 bedrooms | 3 movers + 1 truck | $250/hr | $350/hr |
| Large home, 4+ bedrooms | 4 movers + 2 trucks | $400/hr | $500/hr |
Hours depend on the house, which is why the walkthrough comes first. How the hourly model works
The planner
Section your house
Tap together your levels and half-flights, mark the glass, the piano, the long carry. The planner draws your house in section, the same line as our logo, and previews the crew, the sequence and the rate.
