FAQs
We've compiled the most important information to help you get the most out of your experience. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us.
In most cases it is difficult to move pot plants as they often have bugs, ants and are too dirty to travel with your furniture and valuables. We can in some cases however, be assessed on the day by our furniture removalists.
To save time and money, it’s best to hire a trailer for a minimal cost from your local service station and move them prior to your move day.
It’s best to book your removalist two to four weeks before your move, especially during busy periods such as school holidays or month-end. Early booking gives you more flexibility and ensures availability on your preferred date.
Yes. We can provide high-quality packing materials, including boxes, tape, and protective wrap. We also offer a professional packing service if you’d like our team to handle everything for you.
Most local moves can be completed within a single day, but the exact timing depends on the size of your home, the volume of belongings, and property access. We’ll provide a clearer estimate once we’ve assessed your move.
Yes. We offer dedicated business moving services designed to minimise downtime and ensure a smooth transition. Our team can handle everything from office furniture to sensitive equipment.
We cover all suburbs in Canberra and the surrounding ACT region. We also offer interstate removal services to locations across Australia.

We combine decades of experience with a commitment to transparency, care, and customer satisfaction. From clear quotes to professional service, we focus on making your move as simple and stress-free as possible.
Moving house can be overwhelming which is why a comprehensive moving house checklist is paramount to assist you in planning and ensuring a stress-free move. A detailed best-practice moving house checklist can make a world of difference with making your move easy. Here is our Moving House Checklist to get started.
Our highly-trained removalists are some of the best in the business and whilst we guarantee our furniture removalists will move you as quickly and as safely as possible, there are some things you can do to help you save even more money during your house move.
- Clear the hallways – furniture removalists always start with your larger items, make sure your hallways and doorways are clear, so the removalists can get access to your beds and couches.
- Make sure everything is packed – make sure everything is boxed up and stacked neatly. Don’t overfill the boxes as they require more removalists to move, or they can fall apart putting your items at risk of damage. Please ensure you label your cartons, so we know which room to place them in your new home.
- Disassemble your furniture and unplug whitegoods & technology – If your bed comes apart, make sure you disassemble it prior to our furniture removalists arriving. This also goes for flat packed items, such as IKEA furniture, as both will save you a lot of time and money. White goods and technology also need to be unplugged and prepared the day before, read our hints and tips on how to prepare your items prior to moving day.
- Ensure you only pack what your furniture removalist can transport – use our handy Do’s and Don’ts checklist for guidance.
- Check out weekday rates – in some cases it may be cheaper to move on a weekday rather than a weekend, so consider taking the day off to move.
Our furniture removalists will dismantle basic items such as bed frames and other large furniture. Our furniture removalists will not dismantle IKEA items and recommend you organise a handyman to complete this prior to your house move day. To save time, it is recommended that you dismantle the furniture prior to our furniture removalists arriving.
There is no hard and fast rule as every move is different. It all depends on how prepared you are, how much you are moving and accessibility at each address, traffic and so on. We charge a fixed rate of 30 min travel time each way (provided you live within 50 km of the CBD) which means you won’t pay more if there is a hold up or traffic. Our Kent furniture removalists are some of the best in the business and guarantee that they will move you as fast and as stress-free as possible.
At the time of booking, our Move Consultants can give you an accurate idea of how many trucks and men you require based on the information you provide.
If your belongings cannot fit in the first truck, based on availability, our team may be able to return for a second trip. If they cannot, it is advisable to ask the furniture removalists to leave goods you can move yourself.
No, our furniture removalists do not disconnect fridges, televisions, washing machines, dryers or else. Each item should be prepared properly prior to your moving day. To help you best prepare for your move day check out tips on how to prepare your washing machine, fridge, TV and more.
We offer a range of insurance options to protect your belongings throughout the moving process. Our team can help you choose the right level of cover for your needs.
Yes. We provide secure short-term and long-term storage options to keep your belongings safe until you’re ready to move in.
Absolutely. Our removalists are trained to handle heavy, bulky, and delicate items such as pianos, antiques, and artwork with the care they require.
