Moving Services Available in East Perth
East Perth isn’t your typical suburban move. Between high-rise apartments, heritage-listed terraces, and modern townhouse complexes, relocations here demand a team that understands tight access, shared facilities, and inner-city logistics. Here’s how we help.
Fragile Removals
Artwork, glass display cabinets, antique mirrors, East Perth homes are often filled with high-value pieces that need extra attention. Our fragile item service includes custom wrapping, padded crating where required, and careful handling from door to door.
Furniture Removals
Replacing a sofa on the 12th floor or moving a dining table between suburbs? We handle single-item and multi-piece furniture moves with the same level of care as a full relocation, including disassembly, wrapping, transport, and reassembly at the other end.
Heavy Item Removals
Getting a piano into a ground-floor terrace or a safe out of an office building requires planning and the right gear. Our heavy item crew uses hydraulic trolleys, ramps, and lifting straps rated for oversized loads.
Professional Packing Services
Short on time before settlement day? Our packing team works room by room, wrapping, boxing, and labelling everything so it’s ready to load. We bring all materials, no trips to Bunnings required.
Mobile Storage
Solutions
Between leases or waiting on a new build? Our mobile storage containers are delivered to your door, packed at your pace, and stored securely until you’re ready. Various sizes available from single-room to full household.
Why choose fresh start removals?
East Perth moves come with a unique set of challenges. Here’s why locals trust us to handle them.
We Know the Buildings: From the Waterbank towers to the heritage terraces along Brown Street, we’ve moved people in and out of most East Perth complexes. We know which buildings need 48-hour notice, which lifts fit a king mattress, and where the loading docks are.
Strata-Compliant Process: We coordinate directly with building managers to book loading bays, pad lifts, and meet all strata move-in requirements, so you don’t have to chase paperwork on moving day.
No Damage, No Surprises: Protective blankets on every piece of furniture, wall and floor coverings where needed, and a team trained to work carefully in shared spaces. We leave common areas exactly as we found them.
Transparent Pricing: Hourly rates quoted upfront with no hidden charges. You’ll know what you’re paying before we arrive, and the clock stops when the last item is placed.
Flexible Scheduling: Inner-city buildings often restrict moving to weekday business hours. We work around these windows and offer early-morning starts to make the most of your allocated time.
Fully Insured: Every move includes free in-transit insurance and public liability coverage. Your belongings and your building are protected from start to finish.

What to Expect on Moving Day
We offer two arrival windows: 7–8 am or 11 am–2 pm. For East Perth apartment moves, we recommend the early window — it gives you the best chance of securing the loading dock before other residents, and the surrounding streets are quieter before the morning commute fills up Royal Street and Adelaide Terrace.
Before moving day, your project manager will confirm building access details, including lift booking times, loading bay availability, and any strata requirements like floor protection or after-hours access. On arrival, your team leader does a walkthrough with you to confirm the scope, then the crew gets to work — wrapping furniture, disassembling beds and desks, and loading everything onto the truck using our hydraulic lift gate.
At the destination, everything is placed in the rooms you nominate, furniture is reassembled, and appliances are connected and tested. If your new building has its own set of move-in rules, we follow those too. The clock stops once you’re satisfied and the last item is in position.
Baldivis Local Knowledge
East Perth sits just east of the CBD, bordered by the Swan River to the south and the Graham Farmer Freeway to the north. Over the past two decades it has transformed from a largely industrial area into one of Perth’s most sought-after inner-city neighbourhoods, blending modern apartment living with pockets of restored workers’ cottages and Federation-era homes.
The Claisebrook Cove precinct is the social heart of the suburb, with waterside dining, weekend markets, and a network of walking paths that connect through to the river foreshore and Optus Stadium. Royal Street has emerged as a popular café and small-bar strip, and Wellington Square provides a large green space within walking distance of most residences.
Transport connections are excellent. East Perth and Claisebrook train stations sit on the Midland and Armadale lines, the free Red CAT bus loops through the suburb, and the freeway provides quick access to both northern and southern corridors. Most daily errands can be done on foot or by bike.
From a removalist perspective, East Perth is predominantly high-density. The majority of moves involve apartments ranging from compact studios to large penthouse-style residences. Common access challenges include single-vehicle loading docks, timed lift bookings, narrow underground car parks with height and turning restrictions, and buildings that only permit moves during weekday business hours. Some of the older converted warehouses along Kensington Street and Bennett Street have unusual floor plans and stairwell-only access, which require extra care. Our team has worked extensively across the suburb and plans for these variables as standard.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire removalists in East Perth?
Our two-man team with a 5-tonne truck starts at $155+GST per hour on weekdays, while three men and a truck start at $224+GST per hour. Weekend and public holiday rates are slightly higher. Your final cost depends on the size of your home, the complexity of building access, and the distance to your new address.
Can you handle apartment moves with strict building rules?
This is what we do best. We coordinate lift bookings, loading dock reservations, and floor protection with your building manager before moving day. We carry our own lift padding, trolleys, and wall protectors, and we ensure common areas are left clean and undamaged.
Do you offer same-day or urgent removals in East Perth?
Yes. We maintain a large fleet and dedicated crew across Perth, allowing us to respond to urgent and same-day move requests, including last-minute lease changeovers and emergency relocations.
Can you move heavy items like pool tables or pianos in Baldivis?
What if my building only allows moves during business hours?
Many East Perth complexes restrict moves to weekday windows, often between 8 am and 4 pm. We schedule around these requirements and work efficiently within the allocated timeframe. If your building has specific rules, let us know when booking and we’ll plan accordingly.
Can you move items in and out of buildings without a loading dock?
Yes. Not every East Perth building has a dedicated dock. Where street-side loading is required, we manage parking permits if needed and use our hydraulic lift gate and trolley systems to move items safely from the truck to your door.
How long does a typical apartment move in East Perth take?
A 1–2 bedroom apartment usually takes 2–4 hours. Larger apartments or townhouses can take 4–6 hours, particularly where lift wait times, long corridor distances, or complex disassembly are involved. We’ll provide a tailored estimate based on your specific property.
