Moving in and out of Hawthorn

Hawthorn has some of Melbourne’s loveliest period homes, and plenty of stairs, long driveways and heritage details to work around. We move here every week, from student share houses near Glenferrie Road to big family homes, and we bring the right team and the right number of Little Red Trucks to look after your place and your things.

Between the share houses near Swinburne and the grand family homes around Auburn Village, Hawthorn keeps us on our toes, with heritage staircases, split levels and the odd tight rear-lane access. We come prepared with trolleys, straps and floor protection to look after those period details. If it’s your first move with us, our FAQ and moving tips answer the common questions, and what we do walks you through the service.

Hawthorn moving questions, answered

Can you handle the stairs and long driveways in Hawthorn’s period homes?

Absolutely, it’s part of the territory in the inner east. Heritage homes here often have flights of stairs, split levels and long driveways, so we bring extra movers, trolleys and floor protection to move your things without marking the place. Flag any tricky access when you book so we plan for it.

Do you do share house and student moves around Glenferrie Road and Swinburne?

All the time. Share house moves are usually quick, and we can work around exam and lease timing. If a few housemates are splitting to different addresses, tell us when you book and we’ll work out the most efficient run so everyone’s sorted in one go.

What about parking a truck on the busy roads like Burwood and Auburn?

The main roads can have clearways and time limits, so we usually load from a side street or driveway where we can. Give us the address up front and we’ll check the parking situation and arrange a permit if it’s needed.
