We’ll be where you need when you need it
Our friendly Perth movers are guaranteed to be on time, arriving at your door at a time of your choosing.
Hire A Mover has been helping Perth families and businesses relocate since 2012. As a trusted Perth moving company, we work across every corner of the city — from the leafy riverside streets of Claremont to the high-rise towers of Northbridge and the sprawling new estates of the northern corridor. Our removalists in Perth know exactly what each type of move demands, and they come fully prepared.
Perth's geography creates unique moving challenges: heritage limestone cottages in Fremantle with tight access, apartment lifts in the CBD with strict booking windows, long distances between the coast and the hills, and summer heat that demands an early start. Our Perth moving teams plan around all of these before they arrive at your door.
As part of Hire A Mover's national network, our Perth removalists are backed by the same systems, insurance, and standards that have earned us 700+ verified reviews and 42,000+ completed moves across Australia. Whether you're moving a studio apartment in Mount Lawley or a five-bedroom family home in the Swan Valley, you'll get the same professional service — with an upfront price and no surprises on the day.
Our Perth removalists have been moving homes and businesses across Western Australia for over a decade. We've navigated the tight laneways of Fremantle, pre-booked lift access in CBD high-rises, and tackled the long hauls from Mandurah to Joondalup — nothing about Perth moving surprises us anymore.
Perth is one of Australia's most spread-out cities. A move from the southern suburbs to the northern corridor can easily cover 60km, and traffic on the Mitchell or Kwinana Freeway can add significant time on busy mornings. Our teams plan routes in advance and start early — especially in summer, when Perth's heat makes mid-afternoon moves uncomfortable for everyone. We're experienced with inner Perth apartment moves, heritage homes in Cottesloe and Claremont, and the newer estates in Baldivis, Ellenbrook, and Alkimos.
Every Perth move comes with a dedicated move manager — one person who knows your job from booking to completion. You won't be handed around between departments or left guessing on move day. As professional removalists in Perth with over a decade of local experience, we keep you informed, arrive on time, and charge exactly what we quoted. That's why Perth customers — whether they need furniture removalists in Perth or a full house move — keep coming back, and why they refer their friends.
Not all removalists Perth customers consider are equal. Whether you need furniture removalists in Perth, a full packing service, or a moving company in Perth that handles boxes and storage too — Hire A Mover is the only fully integrated option. Here's what makes us different.
Our crew are permanent employees — not gig workers or backpackers. They train together, move together, and know Perth's suburbs, traffic patterns and access challenges inside out.
You'll see your rate before you book. 2 men + truck from $220/hr, 3 men + truck from $300/hr. No fuel levy, no stair fees, no call-out charge hidden in the fine print.
Need boxes? Packing help? Storage? We handle the whole move — or just the parts you want help with. One company, one contact, no handoffs.
Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance included on every Perth move. Your belongings are protected from the moment we arrive at your door.
We know the heritage Fremantle cottages, the CBD apartment lift systems, the northern corridor estates, and the river suburb access quirks. No surprises on move day.
4.8 stars on Google across 700+ verified reviews. Real customers, real moves — from Mandurah to Joondalup and everywhere in between.
Perth stretches over 150km from Mandurah in the south to Yanchep in the north, and every part of the city has its own moving challenges. Click your area below for local suburb lists, access tips, and area-specific pricing information.
The CBD and inner-city fringe means apartment towers, strict goods-lift booking windows, and tight loading zone time slots. Our team pre-confirms lift access and loading dock availability with building management before move day — so there are no scrambles on the day.
Perth's fastest-growing corridor — large new homes on wide blocks, but estate access rules, long driveway setbacks, and distances of 40–70km from the CBD require careful planning. Our northern teams know the estate managers and confirm access windows before we arrive.
The southern suburbs span a wide distance from the city. Long hauls, newer estate access rules, and occasional freeway traffic on the Kwinana add time to cross-town jobs. We route plan all southern moves in advance and price the travel honestly — no surprises on the day.
The hills and eastern fringe bring steep driveways, narrow bush tracks, and properties that aren't always accessible for a standard removal truck. Our eastern crews carry specialist equipment and assess every property access point at quoting stage — no guesswork on move day.
The river suburbs are among Perth's most sought-after — and most access-challenged. Heritage homes with narrow frontages, long driveways, and limited kerb space for large trucks are the norm. We assess access at quoting stage and plan accordingly, every time.
Fremantle's limestone heritage cottages come with steep front steps, tight street frontages, and properties that often predate modern truck access. Our Freo crews are experienced with these homes — specialist gear, careful planning, and not a mark left on your walls or driveway.
As one of Perth's most trusted moving companies, Hire A Mover charges straightforward hourly rates — billed in 15-minute increments with a one-off call-out fee covering travel to your Perth location. All prices include GST. No fuel levy, no hidden fees on the day — ever. Compare our Perth removalist prices below.

Our friendly Perth movers are guaranteed to be on time, arriving at your door at a time of your choosing.
Our team can carry your possessions with the strength of a beast but load them securely and safely with the delicacy of a beauty for transport in our truck.
Whether we’re putting your items in storage or delicately unloading them in a brand-new home, we’ll make sure your possessions arrive in perfect condition.

Need a thing or two safely stored for the short or long term? We can take your items directly to our storage facility in Rosebery for a safe and cost-effective storage solution.
Perth removalists fill up fast from October to March. The combination of the Christmas period, school enrolments, and the popular summer settlement dates means demand peaks hard. Book 4–6 weeks ahead if possible.
Perth summers regularly exceed 38°C. An 7am start means you can be finished and in your new home before noon — when it gets genuinely uncomfortable to carry heavy furniture. Evening moves in summer work too, once the temperature drops.
Inner-city apartment buildings often require advance booking for the goods lift — sometimes 48–72 hours ahead. Confirm with your strata manager early. Our team will help coordinate this, but the earlier you start, the better.
The Mitchell and Kwinana Freeways get congested between 7:30–9am and 4–6pm. If your move spans rush hour — especially for cross-city jobs between the northern and southern corridors — expect extra travel time and factor that into your budget.
Subiaco, Leederville, Northbridge, and Fremantle have council-managed parking. A large removal truck may need a temporary no-parking zone in front of your property. Contact the City of Perth or relevant council 1–2 weeks ahead to apply.
Freezers can't be moved while on or running. Switch it off 24 hours before move day, empty it, and make sure there's no water pooled inside. This is one of the most common delays on Perth move day — a quick one to avoid.
In WA, utilities are managed by the Water Corporation and Western Power — not the national providers. Update your address with both, plus your council rates, ATAGI (vehicle registration), and WA electoral roll. Don't forget MyGov and Medicare.
Boxes labelled "Kitchen" or "Master Bedroom" let our team place them in the right room without asking. You won't need to supervise every box — and unpacking is far faster when everything starts in the right place.
Limestone cottages in Fremantle, Federation homes in Claremont, and character bungalows in Subiaco often have steep front steps, narrow gates, or limited truck access. Tell us at the quote stage — we'll plan the right equipment and crew size so move day runs without a hitch.
Keep kettle, coffee, phone charger, a change of clothes, toiletries, and a few snacks in a clearly labelled box that comes off the truck last and goes in first. After a long Perth move day, the last thing you want is to unpack 40 boxes to find the kettle.
As a full-service moving company Perth families rely on, we cover every corner of the city — from Mandurah in the south to Yanchep in the north. Our trusted furniture removalists Perth-wide are available 7 days. Click your area for local pricing, access tips, and suburb-specific information.

Yes — we offer short and long-term storage for Perth customers. This is ideal when there's a gap between your settlement dates, or when you're staging a property and need furniture out of the way.

Yes. Pianos, gun safes, large fridges, and oversized items are all handled by our Perth team using specialist equipment. Let us know at the quote stage so we can confirm the right crew size and any equipment required. There's no separate heavy-item surcharge — it's included in your hourly rate.
Hire A Mover carries full Goods in Transit insurance and Public Liability insurance on every Perth move — included in your rate at no extra cost. Some smaller Perth removalists operate without adequate cover. Always ask to see proof of insurance before handing over your belongings.
Perth is Australia's most isolated capital — and one of its fastest-growing. Here's what's shaping the Perth property and moving market right now.
Perth has seen strong property price growth driven by interstate migration, particularly from NSW and Victoria. The northern corridor suburbs — Alkimos, Yanchep, Ellenbrook — are experiencing some of the highest new home construction volumes in Australia, putting real demand on local removalists.
Based on our Perth move data, the most common origin suburbs are Subiaco, Fremantle, Mount Lawley, and Victoria Park — all inner suburbs where renters and buyers frequently upgrade or downsize. The most common destinations are the northern corridor and river suburbs like Applecross and South Perth.
