We're ten minutes up the road in Tullamarine, so Essendon and Moonee Ponds are about as local as it gets for us.
Most of what we carry out of Essendon and Moonee Ponds comes out of Edwardian and interwar homes - solid places with beautiful rooms and, very often, a side path barely wider than a wardrobe. The furniture that went in forty years ago did not come from IKEA and does not come apart. That is the job here: working out before the day whether a piece goes down the hall, round the veranda, or out through a window, and bringing the gear to do it either way.
The other half is the newer apartment stock along Mt Alexander Road and around the station. Those come with lifts, bin rooms and a building manager who wants notice - all manageable, as long as someone asks the week before rather than the morning of.
Parking is the thing people underestimate. Moonee Valley's resident and visitor permits are not issued for commercial vehicles over six metres or 4.5 tonnes, which rules out a truck of the size most moves need. On a quiet street that is a non-issue. On a busy one near the station it means an early start or a word with the council in advance, and we will tell you which of those you are dealing with when we quote.
Houses, units and apartments of any size. Packing and unpacking if you want it, boxes and blankets if you don't.
Desks, IT and fit-outs, scheduled around your trading hours so the business keeps running.
Machinery, tool chests and heavy gear moved with the right straps, ramps and trolleys.
Warehouse transfers and pallet runs for businesses, local or interstate.
Full pack, fragile-only, or just the materials delivered ahead of time.
Dump runs, old furniture and site clean-ups, disposed of responsibly.
Not on the list? We almost certainly still come to you — just ask.
Being based in Tullamarine means a short run to you, no city traffic on the way in, and the ability to come back the same day if something does not fit. For a job that runs long - and period homes often do - that proximity is the difference between finishing tonight and finishing tomorrow.

Sometimes. Moonee Valley's resident and visitor permits are not issued for commercial vehicles over six metres or 4.5 tonnes, which rules out a truck of the size most moves need. On a quiet street it is a non-issue; on a busy one near the station it means an early start or arranging it with council beforehand. We will tell you which you are dealing with when we quote.
Usually, yes - it is most of what we do here. Edwardian and interwar homes often have a side path narrower than a wardrobe, so we work out before the day whether a piece goes down the hall, round the veranda or out through a window, and bring the gear for either.
A week or two is comfortable. Because we are based in Tullamarine, ten minutes away, we can often fit in a short-notice Essendon job when we could not elsewhere - worth calling even if your date is close.
Yes. Those need a lift booking and usually a word with the building manager, which we arrange as part of setting the job up rather than discovering on the morning.
