Perth is a great place to live. The West Australian capital gets more sunshine than any other capital city in Australia, has some of the country’s best beaches and no shortage of things to see and do.

At Fragile Removals & Storage, we’re one of Perth‘s most experienced removalists and we’ve been helping locals move across the city for more than two decades. Our job is to take the stress out of your move so you can focus on settling in.

What Our Perth Removalists Can Do for You
Our local team in Perth handles every type of move, from a one-bedroom unit to a full commercial fit-out. Every job is completed by our own in-house staff using our own trucks and equipment.
House Removals
Most of our work in Perth is residential. We move houses, townhouses and units of all sizes. Whether you’re downsizing from a four-bedroom family home in Lakelands or upgrading to something bigger in Subiaco. Our crews pack room by room, wrap and protect furniture, and place everything in your new home exactly where you want it.
Apartment Removals
Apartments come with their own challenges: lifts, narrow corridors, strata rules, timed loading bays. Our Perth removalists deal with these every week. We confirm access details and any building requirements before the move to identify restrictions before collection. If your building needs a lift key or loading dock booking, we’ll coordinate that with your body corporate or building manager.
Furniture Removals
Sometimes you don’t need a full house move, just some help shifting a few heavy or awkward items. We handle individual furniture removals in Perth for pieces like lounges, dining tables, wardrobes, pianos and pool tables. Our crew brings the right trolleys, blankets and straps for the job, and we can disassemble and reassemble items that won’t fit through doorways in one piece.
Office & Commercial Relocations
Moving a business means working around your operating hours and getting your team back up and running fast. Our commercial relocations service covers offices, retail spaces and warehouses across Perth. We label and inventory everything, handle IT equipment with care, and can work after hours or over weekends to reduce disruption to your staff and customers.
White Glove Services
For high-value, fragile or oversized items that need extra attention, our white glove service provides specialist handling from start to finish. This includes custom wrapping, crating, climate-aware transport and placement. We regularly move artwork, antiques, medical equipment and sensitive electronics, where standard handling isn’t enough.
Packing & Unpacking
Don’t have time to pack? Our packing team will come in the day before your move (or the morning of) and pack your entire home using professional-grade materials. These include moving boxes, bubble wrap, tissue paper and custom cartons for fragile items. We also offer unpacking at your new place, so you’re not living out of boxes for weeks.
Storage
Sometimes your move-out and move-in dates don’t match. We offer secure container storage and mobile storage in Perth for exactly this situation. Your belongings stay wrapped and protected in our storage facilities until you’re ready for delivery. Short-term or long-term, we work around your timeline.
Handyman Service
Need a few extra jobs done while we’re there? Our handyman service covers tasks like mounting TVs, hanging mirrors, securing shelves to walls and removing built-in fixtures. It saves you the hassle of booking a separate tradie and means more of your new place is sorted before we leave.
Utility Disconnections & Reconnections
Moving day is busy enough without chasing service providers. We can arrange disconnection of utilities at your old address and reconnection at your new one, covering electricity, gas, internet and water. It’s one fewer task on your list and means your new place is ready to go when you walk through the door.
Need something specific that isn’t listed? Call us on 1800 500 584 and we’ll let you know how we can help.
How a Local Move in Perth Works With Us
Booking your Perth removalists doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s what to expect from start to finish.
- Get a quote. Tell us about your move: how many rooms, the pick-up and drop-off suburbs, and any special items. We’ll come back with a clear, written quote.
- Confirm your date. Once you’re happy with the quote, we lock in your preferred moving date. Your move coordinator confirms timings, parking clearances and any access details.
- Moving day. Our crew arrives on time with blankets, trolleys and wrapping materials. We load carefully, transport safely and deliver to your new address.
- Set-up and sign-off. We place furniture where you want it, reassemble anything we took apart, and walk through the job with you before we leave.
How Long Does a Local Move Take?
| Unit Or House Size | Estimated Volume | Load Time With 2 Movers | Unload Time With 2 Movers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | 12 CBM | 1.5 hours | 1 hour |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment or Unit | 20 CBM | 2.5 hours | 1.5 hours |
| 3 Bedroom House | 35 CBM | 4.5 hours | 3 hours |
| 4 Bedroom House | 45 CBM | 5.5 hours | 4 hours |
The time needed for a local move depends on how much furniture you’re moving, access at both properties, and the travel time between addresses.
As a general guide, two movers can usually load around 8 cubic metres per hour and unload around 12 cubic metres per hour. With good access, these averages give you a rough idea of loading and unloading times.
These are estimates only. Your move may take longer if the truck cannot park close to the property, there are stairs or lifts, furniture needs to be dismantled, or items need extra care. Long carrying distances, split-level homes and bulky furniture can also add time.
You’ll also need to allow for travel time between the pickup and delivery locations.
Can I Speed Up My Move?
Yes. For larger moves, especially those over 30 cubic metres, we often recommend using three movers. A third mover can reduce loading and unloading time, which may make the move more efficient overall.
Get An Accurate Estimate
For a more accurate estimate, send us your moving details and complete our inventory tool. Include access notes for both properties, such as parking, stairs, lifts and carrying distance. This helps our team estimate the time and cost of your move more accurately.
AFRA membership and experience
Fragile Removals is a proud member of the Australian Furniture Removers Association. AFRA accreditation means we comply with strict industry standards and a code of conduct, and we’re subject to regular audits to confirm we’re meeting them.
We’ve also been around for a lot longer than five minutes. With more than 20 years in the removals industry and bases in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, we have the experience and the infrastructure to handle local moves of any size.
Perth Suburbs We Service
Our Perth removalists cover the entire metro area, from Joondalup and Wanneroo in the north to Rockingham and Mandurah in the south. We regularly complete moves in suburbs including Subiaco, Belmont, Fremantle, Spearwood, Lake Coogee, Lakelands, Wattle Grove and Mascot. Whether you’re moving across the street or to the other side of the city, we’ll get you there.
If you’re moving interstate from Perth to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or elsewhere, visit our interstate removalists Perth page for dedicated route information and pricing.
Removalists Perth – Pricing and Quotes
The cost of a local move in Perth depends on several factors: the size of your home, the distance between addresses, access at both properties (stairs, lifts, long driveways) and whether you need packing help.
Rather than publishing a one-size-fits-all hourly rate, we provide tailored quotes based on your specific move. Every quote details labour, travel and any extras. So, you know exactly what you’re paying before we arrive.
What we can tell you is that our pricing is consistently competitive. Customers regularly tell us we came in lower than other quotes they received, and we don’t add surprise fees later for fuel levies, stairs or steep driveways.
We’re upfront about our pricing, so you don’t get a surprise on your invoice.
Use the Perth time estimates carefully
The loading and unloading table estimates those two parts of the job with two movers. Add the travel, access and other work that applies to your booking when discussing the full day. A bedroom count does not capture every inventory, and the table is not a guaranteed completion time. Keep packing, dismantling and any waiting time separate so the estimate can be checked.
The local descriptions say that fuel levies, stairs or steep driveways are not separately charged in the described quote, while interstate cost guides identify access and location as factors in the total. Confirm how your actual service is priced and record the disclosed access in the written scope. Do not assume a general statement means an undisclosed access change cannot affect the plan.
If parking, the lift booking or the inventory changes, tell the coordinator before collection. Ask for revised timing and any price effect, and keep the new instructions with the booking. For a delivery delay or a problem at handover, contact the person responsible for the move and use the process set out in the booking terms.
Compare the moving timeline for the wider preparation schedule and insurance arrangements for the checks that apply to your belongings.
What information is needed for a Perth moving quote?
Supply the collection and delivery addresses, dates and inventory, including cartons, outdoor or stored belongings and unusual pieces. Describe vehicle parking, the carry to each entrance, stairs, lifts and the route for large furniture. State packing, dismantling, storage or unpacking you want included. A Perth metropolitan move still needs both properties assessed; a suburb pair does not describe access or the workload. Ask for the price basis and inclusions in writing, and keep any unresolved address or handover detail marked as uncertain rather than guessed.
Can I combine a Perth move with packing or storage?
Yes. You can discuss full or selected-item packing and unpacking, together with storage where the dates require it. Identify what the crew prepares, what you will pack and which materials are supplied. Perth is included in the detailed storage descriptions, but warehouse, mobile and self-storage arrangements still have different access and loading conditions. Confirm the specific facility, term, retrieval needs and return delivery before choosing. Optional household tasks should be listed separately rather than assumed to be part of the transport service.
How long will my Perth move take?
The Perth table gives loading and unloading examples with two movers: a 12 m³ one-bedroom apartment is estimated at 1.5 hours to load and 1 hour to unload, while a 35 m³ three-bedroom house is 4.5 and 3 hours. Add the actual travel, access, packing, dismantling and waiting requirements when discussing the complete job. These examples are not a guaranteed finish time. For an east-coast or other interstate destination, agree the collection and delivery windows separately from the local handling estimates.
What if the lift, parking or inventory changes after the quote?
Tell the coordinator exactly what has changed in the load or access, and ask whether the proposed crew, vehicle, sequence and estimate still fit. A changed parking distance or added large item can matter without changing the addresses. Keep the current inventory and revised instructions with the booking, including any price effect. If the new home cannot receive goods as planned, agree the storage or delivery alternative explicitly. A described no-separate-fee feature does not mean an undisclosed access change requires no planning.
Does an insured removal service automatically cover every belonging?
No. The Perth description refers to business insurance and additional moving cover, which answer different questions from protection for each belonging. Explain the goods, packing and any storage stages to the provider of proposed cover. Ask for policy information, exclusions, excess, limits and the reporting process before relying on it. Retain the documents with the inventory and moving terms. A trained crew or secure storage facility does not independently establish cover for every loss or automatic replacement of an item.
How should I choose a Perth storage arrangement during a move?
Start with when you need the goods and whether you must retrieve individual items while they are stored. Compare the actual warehouse, mobile-unit or self-storage option available for the booking, including loading responsibilities and access procedures. Identify items that need particular storage conditions rather than assuming all units provide them. Then confirm collection, billing, the likely end date and return delivery. Keeping frequently needed documents or work items out of the main stored load may simplify the transition.
