Richmond removalists, local or interstate
Moving in or out of Richmond?
Instamove makes moving easy. Richmond is a suburb of single-fronted terraces, narrow bluestone lanes and streets that fill up by eight in the morning — and if there is a game on at the 'G, half of it is closed anyway. We work out where the truck actually goes, and which day it should be there, before anyone picks up a box.
Heading further than the next suburb? We run regular interstate routes to Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and beyond, so the same crew can move you a few streets or right across the country.

Built for Richmond, from Swan Street to the Cremorne backstreets
A Richmond move is not a cookie-cutter job either. We know which terraces are best loaded from the rear lane rather than the street, which of those lanes a truck can actually turn in, and why a Saturday with a game at the 'G is the wrong day to be parked anywhere near Brunton Ave. Punt Road and Hoddle Street have clearways that will get a truck towed, not ticketed — so we plan the day around them.
Our crews move dozens of Richmond homes every month, from single-fronted workers' cottages off Church Street to warehouse conversions and apartments around Burnley and Cremorne, plus the steady churn of share houses and young professionals moving between rentals. Narrow hallways, steep stairs on the hill, bluestone rear lanes and street frontages with nowhere to stop, we have done them all.

Professional Packing
Wrapped and protected before anything goes near a narrow hallway or a period doorway. Terrace walls, original floorboards and tight corners are unforgiving, so we pack for the carry as much as the trip.
Learn More →Moving Supplies
Sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, tape and protective covers, delivered before the day so you are not hauling flat-packs home on the 70 tram or double-parking to unload them.
Learn More →Large Item Moving
Upright pianos, sofa beds, oversized artwork, desks and studio equipment — our specialists use purpose-built equipment to get heavy and awkward pieces through a terrace hallway or out via the rear lane without damage.

How does a Richmond move with Instamove work?
• We confirm the access, parking, truck size and timing before move day
• We pack and protect your belongings for both careful handling and long-distance transport
• We load into a dedicated truck, or arrange a backload if that suits your budget and timing better
• We coordinate the route and delivery so your move stays simple from pickup to final unload
Loading a truck in Richmond is a different job from a wide-open suburban pickup. Between a tight hallway, a lane that only fits one vehicle and a parking bay that is not outside your door, most of the work happens before anything reaches the truck. Get the order or the packing wrong and it costs you an hour you did not budget for.
