Furniture Removalists Melbourne – Experts In Furniture Moving

Your furniture tells the story of your home. The dining table you’ve had for fifteen years, the sofa you finally got right, the wardrobe that took two people and a whole Saturday to build. When it’s time to move, the last thing you want is to hand all of that over to someone who treats it like freight. That’s not how we work.

Jake Move has been Melbourne’s go-to team of furniture removalists for over 20 years. Not only do we move general items of furniture, but we also specialise in piano movers Melbourne and pool table removalists Melbourne. Our extensive fleet of trucks includes 4T, 6T, 8T and 10T options, with some purpose built with state of the art hydraulic tailgate lifts. This allows particularly heavy items to be moved in and out of our trucks with ease, in turn reducing the risk of any unnecessary and unwanted damage. Every item is padded, wrapped and secured before it goes near a truck. Our team handles your belongings with the same level of care they’d want for their own — and we back that up with comprehensive insurance included on every single move.

Whether you’re moving a studio apartment in Richmond, a family home in Glen Waverley, or a townhouse in St Kilda, our furniture removalists Melbourne team brings the experience, equipment and attitude to make it straightforward. No hidden charges, no nasty surprises, no excuses. Just a professional crew that knows exactly what it’s doing and gets the job done right.

As experienced furniture removals Melbourne specialists, we understand that every home is different and every move has its own challenges. Tight staircases, narrow hallways, heavy appliances on upper floors, awkward-access apartments — we’ve seen it all and we’ve handled it all. Our team doesn’t just move furniture; they solve the problems that come with moving furniture. We are 100% committed to providing reliable, efficient, professional and cheap removals Melbourne to ensure you have a stress-free move.

What Our Furniture Removalists Melbourne Can Move

General Household Furniture

Lounge suites, dining sets, bedroom furniture, wardrobes, bookshelves, TV units, desks, bed frames — the bread and butter of every move. Our movers Melbourne team is experienced at the tricky parts: getting a sectional sofa around a tight corner, removing doors to fit a wardrobe through a narrow hallway, carrying a king-size mattress up a narrow staircase without dragging it against the wall. These are the situations where experience shows — and where an inexperienced crew causes damage.

Heavy and Oversized Items

Hydraulic tailgate lifts take the strain out of oversized fridges, chest freezers, washing machines, dryers, large safes and commercial appliances. We also regularly move marble tables, stone benchtops and other premium materials that need extra care in handling and transport. If an item weighs more than two people can safely carry, our equipment handles it.

Fragile and High-Value Items

Antiques, artworks, glass-topped furniture, mirrors, sculptures and high-value pieces get individual attention. We use specialist wrapping materials and take extra time with items that can’t be replaced. Let us know at booking if you have anything particularly valuable or delicate — forewarned is forearmed, and we’d rather plan for it than discover it on the day.

Single Item Removals Melbourne

You don’t need to be moving an entire house to call Jake Move. If you’ve just bought a new sofa, or need to relocate a single heavy item between properties, our single item removal service is a practical, cost-effective option with the same professional equipment and care.

Packing and Unpacking Services

If you’d rather hand the whole process over, our packing and unpacking service has you covered. We pack carefully into labelled boxes by room, and unpack and place items at the other end. Packing materials are additional — charged hourly alongside your move. Items packed by our team are covered under our Goods in Transit insurance, giving you an extra layer of protection for delicate belongings.

Interstate Furniture Removals

If you’re relocating interstate, our furniture removalists Melbourne team handles interstate moves to Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and beyond. Both direct dedicated moves and backloading are available. Your furniture receives the same professional wrapping, padding and care regardless of distance — the only difference is the journey length. For interstate furniture moves, we strongly recommend having our team pack fragile items, as the extended transit time makes thorough packaging even more important.

Furniture Removals Melbourne – Pricing & What to Expect

We charge by the hour — you pay for the actual time your furniture removals Melbourne job takes, not the maximum it could theoretically take. This hourly approach rewards preparation and consistently delivers better value than fixed-price alternatives. Our standard rate is $130–$180 per hour for two movers and a truck, with a two-hour minimum. Weekend and public holiday rates may be slightly higher.

Rough guide for a moderately furnished single-storey home with standard access:

  • 1-bedroom: approximately 2–4 hours
  • 2-bedroom: approximately 4–6 hours
  • 3-bedroom: approximately 5–8 hours
  • 4-bedroom: approximately 7–10 hours

Multiple floors, limited parking or a long carry distance will add time. For regional Victoria moves, contact us for a specific quote. Our Tuesday and Wednesday special rate — any truck at the 6T price — is worth considering if your dates have any flexibility. It’s the simplest way to reduce your furniture removals Melbourne cost without affecting the quality of the service you receive.

Fully Insured Furniture Removals – Your Belongings Are Protected

Every move includes Goods in Transit insurance up to $50,000 and Public Liability insurance up to $20 million — included as standard. Items packed by our team are covered. Items you’ve packed yourself are covered for external damage to the box. Report any damage before signing off on the job. Full details on our removals and storage insurance page.

How to Prepare for Your Furniture Removal

  • Book 2–4 weeks in advance. Especially for weekends and end-of-month dates. Same-day bookings available subject to availability.
  • Pack and seal all boxes. Sealed, labelled boxes stacked near the door mean we can start loading straight away.
  • Disassemble flat-pack furniture. Bed frames and flat-pack wardrobes done the night before saves time on the day.
  • Defrost the fridge the night before. A fully defrosted fridge is easier and safer to move.
  • Clear pathways. Route from furniture to the front door clear. Roll up rugs, prop open doors.
  • Sort parking in advance. The closer we park to your door, the faster the job.
  • Label fragile items clearly. Mark anything that needs extra care before we arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions — Furniture Removalists Melbourne

How much does it cost to move house in Melbourne?

The cost depends on your home size, truck required, and distance travelled.

  • 1–2 bedroom: $450 – $750
  • 3 bedroom: $900 – $1,200
  • 4+ bedroom: $1,200 – $1,500

We charge an hourly rate based on truck size, plus a call-out fee from our depot to your locations.

How long does it take to move a house in Melbourne?
  • 1–2 bedroom: 2–4 hours
  • 3 bedroom: 5–6 hours
  • 4+ bedroom: 6–9 hours

Timing depends on access, stairs/lifts, distance, and packing preparation.

Are furniture removalists able to move outdoor furniture and garden items?

Yes. We move outdoor furniture including garden settings, sun loungers, benches, heavy planters and outdoor structures. Stone, concrete and heavy resin pieces can be handled using our hydraulic tailgate lifts where access allows. If you have particularly large or heavy outdoor items, mention them when you book so we can ensure the right equipment and team size. One thing to note: lawn mowers, generators and similar equipment must have fuel emptied before our team can load them.

How do removalists protect furniture during a move?

Our team uses moving blankets and protective wrap on furniture, and we carry trolleys and specialised equipment to reduce dragging and contact with walls. For high-traffic areas — doorways, stairwells, hallways — having a few old towels or drop sheets on the floor before we arrive is worth doing. In rental properties particularly, floor protection is worth the effort given the bond implications. We work carefully, but taking five minutes to protect your own surfaces before we start is always a smart call.

Is mobile storage an option if my moving dates don’t line up?

Yes. If your settlement dates overlap or you’re moving in stages, mobile storage Melbourne and facility-based storage are both options we can arrange alongside your furniture removal. Our secure south-east Melbourne storage facility offers short and long-term solutions, and our team can load your furniture directly into storage from your current address. This is a popular option for customers managing tight settlement timelines or moving out before their new property is ready.

Do you offer professional packing services in Melbourne?

Yes. Packing and unpacking services are charged hourly. Packing materials are available at an additional cost.

Can I book a same-day or last-minute move in Melbourne?

Yes, subject to availability. If we can’t fit your preferred time, we’ll arrange the next earliest slot.

What should I do if something is damaged during my furniture removal?

Report it to our team before signing off on the job. Don’t wait — damage reported after sign-off may not be eligible for a claim. Take photos of the affected item and note the damage in your paperwork before the team leaves. For minor scuffs and scratches, our team will attempt to repair the damage on the day. Items packed by our team are covered under our Goods in Transit policy; items you’ve packed yourself are covered for external box damage only.
