Northcote sits just across the Merri Creek from our Brunswick depot, so our trucks are up and down High Street and St Georges Road most weeks. We move everything here, from first apartments above the High Street shops to family homes in the quieter streets either side.
Northcote is famed for its quirky Victorian and Edwardian weatherboards. Cute as they are, they can be a puzzle to move out of. Never fear, we always bring the right team and gear to handle even the narrowest of hallways. Remember too that if you’re moving around High Street, we’ve got to keep an eye out for those pesky trams as they can affect available parks. To help with this, check out the parking situation around your place and give us the rundown when it’s time to book. As a wise Northcotesman once said “a planned move is a cheap move!” New to booking a move? Our FAQ and moving tips cover the questions we hear most, and you can see exactly what we do before you commit.

Northcote moving questions, answered
Can you handle the narrow hallways in Northcote’s old weatherboards and terraces?
Yes, that’s everyday work for us. Plenty of Northcote homes are Victorian and Edwardian originals with tight front doors, skinny hallways and the odd sharp turn, but our team are highly trained in the fine art of Tetris and come with Little Red Thinking Caps as standard. If you’ve got a couch or fridge you’re not sure will fit, mention it when you book and we’ll plan for it.
What about the newer apartment blocks along High Street?
We move people in and out of them all the time. Many have a loading bay, a lift you need to book, or set move-in hours, so check with your building manager early and tell us the details when you book. We’ll plan the parking and timing around it so the move runs smoothly.
Is a short move to Thornbury or Preston cheaper?
Usually, because there’s less driving time on the clock. Thornbury and Preston are the two most popular next stops from Northcote in our own records, and short local hops like these mostly come down to how much you’re moving and how easy the access is at each end.
