Transit and handling coverage for home and specialist item moves.
Karrinyup jobs are almost always bigger than they look. The established 1970s and 1980s brick-and-tile homes on large blocks come with decades of accumulated furniture — heavy hardwood pieces, full sheds, outdoor entertainment sets and garage gear that takes time and crew to load properly. We bring the right resources for these jobs and we don't underestimate them.
The downsizer move is the most common job we run in Karrinyup, and it's one of the more involved ones. A long-term resident sells the family home and moves into a new townhouse nearby. The origin is full. The destination often has a narrow shared driveway the truck can't safely go down. We've done enough of these in Karrinyup to know exactly how to plan them — from the street parking for the truck to the hand-trolley run down a 40-metre brick driveway.
Karrinyup jobs are quoted on an hourly rate with a minimum call-out. Most established family home moves here require a three-person crew and a large truck to run efficiently.
What affects your quote: volume of contents, crew size required, access at both ends, any narrow shared driveways, specialist items such as pool tables or outdoor furniture, and whether a junk removal run is needed.
The 1970s and 1980s homes in Karrinyup are the ones that fill a truck. Heavy jarrah and hardwood furniture that hasn't been moved since it was bought, sheds full of tools and shelving built over decades, large outdoor dining sets and concrete garden pieces. These loads are consistently bigger than people estimate. We ask for a room-by-room inventory before we confirm crew size — not because we're being cautious, but because underestimating a Karrinyup home is a common and expensive mistake.
The newer townhouse developments around the shopping precinct — particularly on Burroughs Road and Francis Avenue — have shared concrete driveways that run 30 to 40 metres and are too narrow for a large truck to use without risking the guttering on adjacent units. We park on the street and use heavy-duty trolleys to bring everything in by hand. It adds time but it's the only way to do it safely.
Some of the older sections of Karrinyup have mature established gardens with tree branches that overhang driveways at heights that clip the top of a high-cube truck. We check the driveway approach before we commit to a truck height. It's a small detail but it matters when you're trying to reverse a large truck down a narrow residential driveway.
