Townsville Removalists FAQs
How much does a full removal cost?
The price of a full removal depends on the size of your home, how far you’re moving, and whether you choose extras like packing or storage. A tailored Kent quote ensures you only pay for the services you actually need. This approach keeps the process simple and cost-effective.
What’s the cheapest way to move a house?
Moving everything yourself might appear cheaper at first, but it often leads to hidden costs, risks of damage, or even injury. Professional removalists have the right tools and training to complete the move quickly and safely. In the long run, this often makes them the more economical choice.
Do removalists dismantle and reassemble furniture?
Yes, many removalists can dismantle and reassemble large or bulky items. Kent’s team can handle common household furniture like beds, dining tables, and desks. This ensures your furniture is moved safely and reassembled properly in your new home.
Do removalists unpack?
Kent offers unpacking services designed to help you settle in faster. We can place items in the right rooms and unpack essential boxes, saving you hours of work. This service is particularly helpful if you’re juggling work, kids, or a tight schedule.
How much notice do you need to book a removal company?
It’s a good idea to book at least four to six weeks in advance to lock in your preferred date. If you’re moving during busy times like school holidays or the end of the month, booking even earlier is recommended. The sooner you book, the smoother your planning will be.
What day is cheapest for removals?
Midweek moves, particularly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, are often less in demand than weekends. Choosing a quieter day can sometimes reduce your costs and increase availability. It’s worth asking your removalist if they can offer a more flexible rate during off-peak times.

Frequently asked questions
-
I need help preparing for my house move
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.
-
How can I save money on my house move?
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 flyer 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.
-
Can Kent Removals & Storage dismantle my furniture for me?
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.
-
How long should it take to move house?
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.
-
What if my consignment doesn’t fit in one load?
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.
-
Does Kent Removals & Storage move potted plants?
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.
-
Do your furniture removalists disconnect technology and whitegoods?
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.
