Maxime and Cristian worked so well as a team. Both friendly, calm and knew exactly how to approach the move, it made the whole day run smoothly. They moved all my belongings very quickly and efficiently, even on a really hot day. Everything was packed, loaded neatly and stored without issue. Nothing was damaged.The booking process with Dione was just as easy and Dione was wonderful to deal with.I’ve used Top Removals a number of times now and the service is always top notch.

Omar & Stefan were simply outstanding as our removalists. They were highly skilled, hard working, professional & polite. No job was too great for them and they worked extremely well as a team. We are very grateful to have had these two positive and energetic young men assist us in our move. Moving house can be a very stressful process and Omar & Stefan made the experience so pleasant and reassuring and we had full confidence in their ability from start to end. Highly recommend Top Removals and if you are assigned to have these two on your job, then you are extremely fortunate. We can’t thank them both enough for all they did to help us and give us the best service we could ask for. Thank you!

Fantastic service, super efficient and friendly.I reached out to Top Removals based on a recommendation from my friend. First time hiring movers, Tom and Kyle was absolutely amazing, saving me from a lot of time and stress, quickly loading and unloading everything from a two-storey townhouse with ease. Despite being a pretty hot day, they did it with a fantastic attitude, super friendly and helped disassemble and reassemble the bed frame that couldn't have made the bend down the stairs. At the new place, they were super communicative and helpful in putting everything in the right place, which helped us settle in our new home faster.Definitely would recommend Top Removals for anyone looking for removalists, and would get them again the next time I move.

general questions
How Much Does Storing Cost with Top Removals?
We can arrange convenient storage at one of our brand-new, modern facility, ensuring your belongings are stored safely and with the utmost care. Get in touch today to discuss your options with our dedicated storage Melbourne specialists team.
Storage starts at just $159 per calendar month.
How much does it cost to move a bed?
The cost to move a bed depends on several factors, including whether you only need removals service or if assembly and disassembly are also required. Additionally, the distance between the pick-up and drop-off locations will affect the price. At Top Removals, we have a 2-hour minimum charge, after which you’ll be charged by the minute. We’ll provide you with an accurate estimate when you book.
What do removalists do?
Removalists handle the packing, loading, transporting, and unloading of your belongings during a move. They ensure items are securely packed and safely transported to prevent damage. Removalists can also disassemble and reassemble furniture if needed. Their goal is to make the moving process as efficient and stress-free as possible.
What should I pack first when moving?
When packing your home, it’s best to start with non-essential items you are unlikely to need use of any time soon. We recommend things like fragile ornaments and decorations, wall art, books and DVDs, and storage cupboards. Stack up the boxes neatly and out the way, marking any delicate boxes as “FRAGILE”, and ensuring each box is clearly labelled with contents and room. You may find a numbering system useful to keep track of how many boxes you have.
Do movers disassemble beds?
Most reputable removals companies offer bed disassembly and reassembly included as part of the moving service. Our movers are experienced in taking apart beds and furniture then putting them back together quickly and efficiently so as not to impact on the overall time of the move.

What Happens If My Furniture/Appliances Get Damaged?
If, by a freak chance, your items arrive damaged due to any fault of Top Removals, Top Removals takes full responsibility of the damage caused. We ask that both parties – the removalists and the client – take comprehensive photos and a report is made. The report is sent to our head office and an insurance claim for repair and/or compensation is then lodged.
What Happens if Your Truck Breaks Down During the Move?
In the event of a truck breakdown during the move, Top Removals will organise a replacement truck and team from our large fleet. We do not charge you, the client, any extra cost or delayed fees.
Can Top Removals Dismantle/Disconnect and Reassemble/Reconnect my Furniture/Appliances (Internet Connection, Desktop Computers, Sound System and Speakers)?
Top Removals removalist specialists can dismantle and reassemble furniture, install appliances, pack and unpack everything for you, in a careful and professional manner. We treat everyone’s furniture and appliances as if they were our own.
Does Top Removals Move Potted Plants?
Top Removals certainly do – at no extra cost. We ask that any potted plants be reported prior to the removalists arriving to ensure that we arrive with the correct equipment to safely transport them.
Do You Collect Used Boxes?
Top Removals does not collect used boxes. We’d be happy to organise them to be taken to the tip for you (at an additional hourly rate and the tip is at the client’s expense). Top Removals strongly advises to resell your boxes on an online platform such as Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree. Used boxes are always in high demand.
What Kind of Training do Top Removals Removalist Specialists Undergo?
Top Removals removalist specialists are trained to present top-rate customer service and undergo further Occupational Health and Safety training covering correct physical motions to provide you with an ultimate, friendly yet professional experience by removalists that understand you and the stresses of moving.

Unless stated otherwise, every quote provided by Top Removals includes our $50,000 Public Liability insurance as well as a $1 million Transport Insurance (inclusive of loading and unloading). If we specifically agree with the client that an item might be too fragile or dangerous to move, then the insurance is not included in the booking.
How Will I Know How Many Packing Boxes I Need?
Every employee of Top Removals is an experienced removalist specialist which is why we are the leaders when it comes to help plan every element of your move. You’ll receive important advice from an industry expert, not just a sales associate. Top Removals offers free, detailed, no-obligation onsite inspections and quotes so that we can supply enough boxes.
Top Removals can also supply you with a free, detailed, no-obligation quote over the phone or by email.
If the Truck Gets Stuck in Traffic, is there Additional Cost?
We take the shortest route possible – including toll routes. If the truck is stuck in traffic, and the traffic is caused by unexpected, genuine delays then the clock will keep running. If the traffic is caused by our own fault; meaning, we took the wrong turn or an alternative route which was not considered the fastest – then the cost will be at Top Removals expense – not the client.
How Long Should it Take to Move House?
There are many factors that can impact the timing of a move: distance, traffic, road closures/detours, toll roads, how prepared you are, the amount of packing, accessibility at each address and many more. All work completed is based on our 2-hour minimum charge with an additional pro-rata charge per 1-minute increments – you only pay for the hour if you use the hour.
How Can I Protect my Paintings and Glass Tops?
Our removal specialists are professionally trained by experienced industry experts covering all aspects of moving – specialising in gently and safely packing and moving glass tabletops, mirrors, sentimental items and artwork.
How Do I Book?
Simply call or email us or, use our convenient inventory calculator on our website. One of our representatives will be in touch with you ASAP to confirm all details are indeed correct.
moving interstate
What Other Services Will I Need When Moving Interstate?
When moving interstate, it is quite different to moving locally. We recommend you organise a Top Removals packing team to come to your home a day prior to your move to help package your items for the interstate journey. When Move Day comes, we only have boxes and furniture to load.
Many more precautions are taken when loading the vehicles for interstate as the contents are going a long distance and must be protected with more packing material.
How Long Will it Take to Move Home Between States?
Moving interstate takes time as not only is there the packing and loading of your goods onto the truck, there is the journey itself; distance, unloading and unpacking. Call or email us and we’ll provide a free, no obligation quote.
Can I Store my Items During my Interstate Relocation?
Top Removals offers storage solutions for items going interstate. We can store them at our main depot in Highett, Melbourne or, we can store them with our partnered storage companies.
