House Removalists Melbourne
House moving is one of those tasks which seem simple at first, but they soon take your life completely. Then there is the problem of packing, the wardrobe which somehow managed to squeeze itself inside the last time, parking which has not been arranged, and the unmovable settlement date. This is when we come to help you. Plus Movers is a group of house removalists from Melbourne who shoulder the burden of carrying out all those difficult aspects of the moving process.
We pack, load, transport, and place every item from a one-bedroom inner-city apartment to a four-bedroom house located in the outskirts of Melbourne. You get a clear price before we start, a crew that turns up on time, and full transit insurance on every job.
House Removal Melbourne, Done the Way It Should Be
Many of our customers approach us after having an unpleasant encounter with some unprofessional movers, where things like scratches on the furniture caused by no protection, late delivery of the team, or an inflated final invoice are common. We built Plus Movers to be the opposite of that.
Our approach to house removal in Melbourne is simple. This means that we plan ahead for moving day, we employ our own staff instead of subcontracting, and we treat your home as our own. Everything is wrapped up and strapped to the truck. Mattresses go into protective covers. Doorframes, floors and stair rails are protected where needed. It's the small habits that separate a smooth move from a stressful one, and our team follows them on every single job.
What Makes a Good House Removalist in Melbourne?
If you're comparing house moving companies in Melbourne, it helps to know what actually matters. Price is a factor, but not the only one. Below are our recommendations to a friend.
Insurance that covers transit.
Your belongings should be protected from the moment they're loaded until they're placed in your new home. Every Plus Movers job includes transit insurance as standard.
Their own crew, not a stranger.
Some companies take the booking and pass it on to whoever is free. We don't subcontract. The people who carry your furniture are trained by us and accountable to us.
Honest pricing.
A good house removalist in Melbourne will tell you the hourly rate, what's included, and what might affect the final cost. Our rates include two movers, the truck, fuel and moving equipment, with no call-out fees hiding in the fine print.
Equipment that suits the job.
Trolleys, straps, blankets, piano boards and the right size truck make a big difference to how quickly and safely a home is moved.
Real reviews.
We are delighted to have scored 5/5 on Google and 4.9/5 on ProductReview and Facebook. Such a rating results from our customers' satisfaction in Melbourne.
Our House Moving Services in Melbourne
Every home is different, so our house moving services in Melbourne are flexible. You can book the full package or pick only the parts you need help with.
Full-Service Home Moves
This is our best-selling package for busy people with families and careers. We come with all the equipment, take apart your beds and big furniture, wrap and pack each one, move it to your new location, and put everything back together where it belongs. All you have to do is direct us.
Professional Packing
Packing is typically the step that gets underestimated. A three-bedroom home can take days to pack properly. Our packing service in Melbourne takes that job off your hands, with quality boxes, bubble wrap and paper supplied. Fragile items like glass pieces, mirrors, and artwork are always packaged separately. Each package will be marked according to which room the piece is meant for.
Furniture Only Moves
Not moving the whole house? Maybe you've bought a new couch, sold a dining table, or need a heavy item shifted between properties. Our furniture removalists in Melbourne handle single items and part loads with the same care as a full home move.
Storage Between Homes
Settlement dates don't always line up. Where you have a period between leaving and moving, our storage services in Melbourne offer you sanitized and monitored storage space on a weekly or monthly basis. We will help move your possessions to our storage unit and then deliver them to your new address when the time comes.
Moving Beyond Victoria
If your new home is situated in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, or any place in-between, our interstate removalists operate specialized trucks with a set delivery time. Smaller loads can often go on a cost-saving backload.
Running a business as well? We also look after office removals in Melbourne, with after-hours and weekend moves to keep downtime to a minimum. You can see everything we offer on our services page.

Honest Pricing for Moving House in Melbourne
We believe you should know what you're paying before we pick up a single box. Our hourly rates are straightforward, and each one includes two experienced movers, fuel and moving equipment.
| Truck & Crew | Hourly Rate | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|
| 4.5 Tonne Truck & 2 Men | $120/hr | 1 bedroom move |
| 6 Tonne Truck & 2 Men | $130/hr | 1-2 bedroom move |
| 8 Tonne Truck & 2 Men | $140/hr | 2-3 bedroom move |
| 10 Tonne Truck & 2 Men | $150/hr | 3-4 bedroom move |
| 12 Tonne Truck & 2 Men | $180/hr | 4+ bedroom move |
The cost of your move will depend on some variables such as how many possessions you want to move, the distance between the locations, the accessibility from both sides (stairs, elevators, long distances), and if you would like us to pack up your goods for you. The best way to keep costs down is by organizing your move. Pack your boxes before we come and have parking available near the front door. It all saves time, and that is reflected in lower costs for you.

Local House Movers in Melbourne Who Know the Suburbs
This is a large city, with each locality having its own set of characteristics. The inner-city localities have their own clearways, permit areas, and loading bays of apartments, which have to be booked prior to making delivery. The more recent localities of western and northern suburbs consist of cul-de-sacs and nature strips, which present difficulty for trucks. The older houses in the eastern suburbs have narrow passages and historical features.
Our team comprises experienced house movers from Melbourne who have Williams Landing as their base. Our job involves moving various families around Western suburbs which include Point Cook, Tarneit, Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Truganina and Caroline Springs. We also have an equal expertise with Footscray, Yarraville, Altona Meadows and Laverton suburbs. We move around the metropolitan area of Melbourne all the way to the Mornington Peninsula.
For more details you can refer to the suburbs page. If your suburb isn't listed, give us a call. Chances are we've moved someone near you already.

Practical Tips for Moving House in Melbourne
Having helped so many people relocate, we have learned some valuable lessons that help make your moving day easier.
Schedule ahead of time during busy periods. Weekends and end-of-the month dates go quickly, as well as summer dates. Scheduling two to three weeks ahead will give you the greatest selection of dates and times to choose from.
Clean out before packing. Everything you don't need to take with you saves you time and money. Get rid of everything that you haven't used in at least one year.
Pack an essentials box. Your charger, medicines, toiletries, kettle, a few cups, bed linen and all important documents need to go with you; not inside the truck.
Sort parking and access. If you need a parking permit from your council, book the lift in case you live in a flat and inform your neighbors if you have a truck parked outside for a few hours.
Label every box. Write the room and describe the contents in two or more directions. Saves a lot of time later.
Take pictures of electronic devices before disconnecting them. A picture of the cables behind the television/computer makes it easy to connect them back.
