Moving From Mordialloc to Frankston by Jake Removals Melbourne
Jelena sent her enquiry through our quoting system on website. When we followed up her enquiry, she told us she found us on Google by searching movers Melbourne and checked reviews as well. She actually received three quotes and finally chose us for her moving.
Jelena and her husband are all currently working at home so their time is quite flexible. We booked the job on Tuesday morning as they can get our “Tuesday & Wednesday Special price”. This young couple and their child were moving to a 4-bedroom townhouse from their old 3-bedroom unit because they are expecting their second baby. Two properties are about 30 minutes driving distance.
We sent an 8T truck to do this job. Jelena is very organised lady as we can see most of their small stuff have been packed in boxes and well labelled. All beds had been dismantled before the boys arrived and all white goods had been undone and emptied as well. Jelena put small boxes in her own car and worked same time as us. These were all making the move easily and also saving their cost.
As everyone expected the whole process of moving was very smooth at both properties. The moving job lasted around 4 hours, Jelena and her husband were very happy with our boys and gave them tips for their wonderful works. She asked for several business cards and said she will definitely recommend Jake Removals Melbourne to her friends.

Currently Yes, Removalists are considered an ‘essential service’ under freight & logistics definitions by each State Government and youare able to move your goods either locally or interstate in Australia. Government information states that those with more than once residence “can choose which one to be your principal residence and then must stay there for the stay at home period”.
Can I move interstate during covid-19 restrictions?
Most Australian states and territories have various border control measures in place, with some enforcing mandatory quarantine periods or turning people back if they don’t have a good enough reason to be entering the state.
Unless you’re classified as an essential traveller (and you’ll need documents to back that up) you may be subject to 14 days quarantine paid by the state(each state is different) or possibly out of your own pocket.
You can apply for an exemption that classifies you as an essential traveller, but there are conditions attached to that.
For more information Please refer to DHHS website.
Should I hire removalists or get friends to help when moving a house?
You can only assist someone in another household(friend or family) or vice versa with moving house where care and support is required due to age, infirmity, disability, or because of their health.
Hiring removalists is the safest and easiest option for house moving during stage 4 if possible.
Is house moving stressful?
Moving house is stressful enough, but with stage four COVID-19 restrictions in place in Melbourne, spanners you never knew existed have been thrown into the works especially with the prospect of a $1,652 on-the-spot fine for breaking stage four rules.
We have comprised a list of some helpful moving house tips when moving to help ease the stress.
What are house moving costs?
Moving home can come with a variety of expected and unexpected costs depending if you are renting, purchasing or renovating a home.
Costs can include packing material fees, building fees, furniture removalists, professional cleaners, lawn and garden care, painting, utilities(phone, waster, power) and possibly higher grocery food bills why you arranging the move as you may be eating takeaway/delivery during this time.
It is also a good idea to increase your bottom line amount to make sure you have extra money reserved for unexpected costs or higher fees than anticipated.
How much does it cost to move a house in Melbourne?
Moving homes within Melbourne and or Victoria can vary depending on your needs.
If you are moving a small 1 bed home or a large 4 bed family home for example will understandably have varying costs which will also vary depending on the pickup and delivery locations.

Moving from Cranbourne North to Seaford by Jake Removals Melbourne
Tracey was a customer we had originally moved a few years ago and she had recently contacted us the help move her home once again as she was very pleased with the work we had provided previously and was happy to book our services again.
Tracey was living in a 2 bedroom townhouse within Cranbourne North and needed assistance to move to her new single storey home in Seaford.
Tracey advised us that she had a few more pieces of furniture than her previous move so we opted to go for a slightly larger truck than the last move.
We were very comfortable to use our 8T truck, which is perfect for 2 to 3 bedroom homes as we had previously used a 6T Truck.
The 8T truck also comes equipped with a larger hydraulic lift to assist with the larger items like the fridge, washing machine and sofas.
The 8T like the other larger trucks also has everything to protect the items from trolleys, dolleys, high quality furniture blankets and plastic wrapping.
Our team for the move for Tracey was Eric and Kevin. They are both very hard workers and dedicated to providing an amazing and stress free moving experience for all of our customers. They enjoy providing the best experience for all our customers.
All items were treated very well and no damage caused to either of the furnishings, property or the workers.
We were also able to keep the moving time at 3 hours which was exactly how long the previous move took but this time there were slightly more items which is great.
Tracey was once again very happy with the service provided and left an amazing and well deserved review and happy to recommend our services to everyone seeking House Removals Melbourne.
“You guys are awesome. This is the second move we have had with you and you were super quick and professional and I would highly recommend you to anyone wanting a removalist.”

Moving From Balwyn North to Greensborough
The month of May has been a very interesting time for Jake Removals.
As most people should be well aware that the world has changed drastically for everyday life for millions of people over the past few months due to Covid-19 which for most is most commonly known as the coronavirus which has taken over the news, media and the minds of all with quotes like “unprecedented times” and “flatten the curve”.
Through this life changing time us here at Jake Removals have not been effected as much as many others around the world as we are luckily considered a much needed essential service as people are still needing to move everyday and even more so at the moment.
As many businesses have unfortunately had to close and many staff let go from their jobs we are lucky enough to be able to stay open and continue to provide exceptional service through these tough times.
February has been a very busy month as this is still considered to be part of the yearly busy period concluding the official end of summer.
There are many people who have homes being sold or had already sold during this time and there are also many people who are wanting to move out to rural or country Victoria due to fear of contracting the virus.
Our staff are very mindful of the essential health precautions recommended by the government and health officials during this time.
Staff are protecting themselves and customers by wearing hospital grade face masks, high grade hand sanitizer
, work gloves and they have also been disinfecting the trucks at the end of the moves to ensure the safety of all as this is paramount.
Our workers are also practicing social distancing with our customers and vice versa to ensure we assist in helping to stop the spread of the virus and continue to update ourselves daily with the latest information provided by the government.
We will continue to strive to create great moving experiences for all customers and to ensure that the safety of all customers and staff is taken very seriously to do our part for Australia.
We look forward to what the future brings as we head in the cooler months of Autumn an encourage everyone to take care and to do your part.

Moving within Rowville by Jake Removals and Storage Melbourne
Nicole was a brand new customer of ours. She had contacted us through our website requesting a quote for her upcoming move.
Nicole had advised up that she wished to move her 3 bed home from Rowville and was moving not too far away within Rowville also.
Nicole had advised that her home did contain the standard furnishings and items you would typically expect, so nothing out of the ordinary.
Given that she was moving within the same suburb it does allow for more flexibility with the truck choices as it does allow for the possibility of a second trip if required due to location.
We had decided on using our 8T truck for his move which is generally the perfect size for a 3 bed home, occasionally a 6T may be sufficient if quite minimally furnished or sometimes the 10T is required if the customer is quite the collector.
Our team for this move was Robert and Kevin. A very solid team who work very well together and are both very experienced in their work and very efficient.
All items were moved very carefully and no damage to property, belongings or our workers which is always great to hear as this is a very physically demanding job.
Nicole was very happy with her move and left a great review.
“On time, all our items handled with care, a pleasure to have Jake’s help us with our move.”

Moving From Prahran to St Kilda East by Jake Removals and Storage Melbourne
Jean Pier had come to us through a referral from a great loyal customer of ours Sandra which was greatly appreciated.
Jean Pier required our assistance in moving his 1 bedroom apartment on the first floor with no lift access from the bustling inner city suburb of Prahran to anther busy suburb of St Kilda East to another apartment but on the ground floor.
He also required some assistance in packing his items as it was just a 1 bedroom apartment however he was quite a collector of items so there was a bit more items than your standard 1 bedroom home.
We were more than happy to oblige his requests to help make for a smooth and very pleasing experience for him in the hopes that he would also pass on the news to friends and family about the great services we provide.
For Jean Piers move we decided to use the smallest of our trucks which is the 4T which is perfect for small apartments and also in the inner suburbs as parking can sometimes be a nightmare to find as the streets are quite small and typically there is not much parking available.
The team for his move was Eric and Hunter. They are two great workers and very friendly. Always willing to help and to give out customers the best experience possible with every move.
The move was a great success and Jean Pier was more than happy to recommend our services to all friends and family and anyone seeking Furniture Removals in Melbourne.
