How Much Does a Removalist Cost in Perth? (2025 Guide)

Moving house in Perth? One of the first questions people ask is: how much is this actually going to cost me? The honest answer is: it depends — but here's a clear breakdown so you can budget properly.

How Perth Removalists Charge

Most Perth removalists charge by the hour. A standard 2-person team with a truck typically costs between $120 and $180 per hour, depending on the company, the day of the week, and what's included. At the lower end, you're looking at older trucks, less experienced crews, and potentially no insurance. At the higher end, you get trained professionals, modern equipment, and full transit insurance.

Beware of quotes that seem unusually cheap — many add surprise charges on the day for stairs, long carries, fuel, or packing materials.

What Affects the Final Price?

Size of your move: More furniture = more time. Access conditions: Stairs, narrow hallways, or long walks to the truck add time. Day of the week: Weekends and month-end dates are busier and can cost more. Distance: Longer drives between properties add to the time. Add-ons: Packing/unpacking assistance, cleaning, storage.

Typical Timeframes for Perth Moves

1-bedroom unit: 2–4 hours. 2–3 bedroom home: 4–7 hours. 4+ bedrooms or office: 7+ hours.

What Should Always Be Included

A reputable Perth removalist should always include: furniture blankets and protective wrapping, trolleys and straps, transit insurance (ask specifically — not all companies carry it), and basic disassembly and reassembly.
