One platform, two removalist services
Urgent Pro is the booking agency that matches your move to a local removalist team. For residential moves of any size, a house removalists booking handles furniture, boxes, lifts, and parking access from one end to the other — apartments, terraces, family homes, and everything in between. The crew arrives with blankets, straps, and trolleys, completes a pre-move walkthrough, and works through the inventory in a planned order.
For businesses relocating to new premises, an office removalists job plans workstation moves, IT relocation, and after-hours scheduling so trading continues with the shortest possible operating downtime. Both services use the same crew framework — written quote first, condition report at pick-up, signed inventory at delivery — but the planning intensity, the IT handling, and the timing flexibility differ.
Choose your move type
Two removalist services, each with its own crew profile, timing, and pricing structure. Pick the one that matches the job.
House Removalists
Residential moves for apartments, units, terraces, townhouses, and family homes. Furniture protection, box handling, lift access, and parking permits across all five capital cities.
See house removalistsOffice Removalists
Commercial relocations for small offices through to corporate fit-outs. Workstation moves, IT relocation, after-hours scheduling, and operating-continuity planning to keep downtime to a minimum.
See office removalistsWhen customers book a removalist
Three of the most common moving day scenarios — each one calls for a slightly different crew size, truck size, and timing window.
Furniture protection
Blanket-wrapping and securing of sofas, dining tables, beds, and large items before they leave the property — the highest-impact step for damage prevention.
Safe furniture carrying
Two-person lifts through stairwells, corridors, and lifts — the route is planned during the pre-move walkthrough to protect floors, walls, and door frames.
Boxes onto the truck
Inventory-driven loading order so the truck is packed in delivery sequence, not just whatever lands first. Faster unload, less double-handling.
Customers often pair a move with pre-move rubbish removal to clear unwanted items first, bond cleaning in Brisbane and Gold Coast ahead of handover, or end of lease cleaning in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth before keys go back. Handyman support is also useful for small repairs at the old or new property.
Five cities, one removalist team
Removalists Australia coverage runs from Sydney's eastern suburbs to Perth's northern coastal pockets. Each city has its own crew profile shaped by the building stock — Sydney apartment lifts and street-parking permits, Melbourne inner-terrace stair access, Brisbane high-set Queenslanders, Gold Coast high-rises, Perth quarter-acre blocks. Pick the city below to see what local crews are matched to.

What affects your removalist quote
Removalist quotes are built from the inventory, the access, and the timing. Five factors shape almost every price.
Inventory volume
Total cubic metres of furniture and boxes. A studio is one truck-load; a four-bedroom home is two trips or a larger vehicle.
Access at both ends
Stairs, lifts, parking distance, narrow corridors, and lift bookings all change crew hours and pricing.
Crew size
Two-person teams suit apartments; three- or four-person crews are standard for houses and offices.
Distance between addresses
Local moves bill on hourly rates; longer trips include drive-time and fuel.
Move date and timing
Weekend, end-of-month, and after-hours moves carry a premium. Mid-week off-peak slots are the cheapest.
Special items
Pianos, safes, pool tables, fragile artwork, and gym equipment need specialist handling and equipment.

Removalists by city

Independent removalist providers
Every move is performed by an independent contractor team running their own removalist business. Urgent Pro acts as the booking agent — checking credentials, holding the customer payment, and standing behind the warranty — while the crew on the truck is the contractor matched to the job. Before any team takes a booking, the following are verified.
- Active ABN and business registration sighted
- Minimum $10M public liability insurance certificate on file
- Goods-in-transit insurance for the vehicle in use
- Photo ID verified at onboarding
- AFRA-aligned load-restraint and condition-report procedures

How much do removalists cost in Australia?
Cost depends on inventory volume, access at both ends, crew size, distance, and timing. Apartment moves typically run two-person crews on an hourly rate; family-home moves use three- to four-person crews and a larger truck. Every quote is written, itemised, and locked before the move date — no day-of surprises.
How do I choose between house and office removalists?
House removalists handle residential moves — apartments, houses, family homes. Office removalists handle commercial relocations — workstation moves, IT equipment, after-hours scheduling, and minimising operating downtime. Mixed jobs (home office, sole-trader fit-out) can be booked under either, but the office service is built for premises with multiple workstations and trading-hours sensitivity.
How does the removalist quote process work?
You share the inventory, the two addresses, and a preferred move date. A local crew reviews the scope and returns a written quote — usually within the same business day. Once you accept, the date is locked, the crew is allocated, and a pre-move walkthrough confirms the inventory on the day. Variations follow our documented variation policy with approval limits at $50, $200, and above.
What crew size and truck capacity do I need?
A studio or one-bedroom apartment is usually a two-person crew with a 4–6 tonne truck. Two- to three-bedroom homes use a three-person crew with an 8–10 tonne truck. Four-bedroom homes and large offices use four-person crews or two trucks. The pre-move walkthrough confirms the right crew size before the quote is locked.
Can the same removalist team handle apartments and houses?
Yes — every house removalist team is equipped for apartments, terraces, townhouses, and detached homes. The crew arrives with the right blankets, straps, trolleys, and lift-protection gear regardless of property type. The crew size and truck capacity flex with the inventory, not the property type.
Do removalists handle business relocations differently?
Yes. Business relocation services include a site visit for premises above 10 workstations, workstation disassembly and reassembly, IT-equipment wrapping, building-management coordination for dock and lift bookings, and after-hours or weekend scheduling so trading downtime is minimised. Data-loss damages are excluded — the customer remains responsible for IT backups.
What's the difference between local and interstate moves?
Local moves stay within a single metro area and bill on an hourly rate from arrival to delivery. Interstate or long-distance moves include drive-time, fuel, and overnight handling — they're priced as a fixed-quote project rather than hourly. Urgent Pro's launch coverage is the five capital cities; interstate moves between those five are bookable on a case-by-case basis.
Why book removalists with a written quote?
A written quote locks the scope, the crew size, the truck size, the timing, and the price before the move begins. On moving day, the only variables are the documented variations — added items, unplanned access changes, or extra time — and those follow the variation approval limits. Verbal estimates create the day-of pricing surprises we built the written-quote framework to prevent.
