Removalists Scarborough

Local Removalists in Scarborough, WA 6019

Expert Movers has been moving homes for more than 10 years, with over 5,000 moves finished across Australia and a 4.9-star average from customers. Every truck in our fleet is our own, and so is every mover. We don’t use subcontractors or day labour, and we don’t run a call centre. The person who visits your Scarborough home and writes the quote is the same person who carries your lounge out on moving day.

Scarborough moves have their own challenges. Homes are compact, blocks are often shared, and the streets near the beach get busy. We plan for all of that before the truck arrives.

About Scarborough, WA

Scarborough is a coastal suburb in the City of Stirling, about 13 to 14 km north-west of the Perth CBD, covering about 5 km². Its neighbours are Trigg, Karrinyup, Doubleview, City Beach and Wembley Downs. The main roads are West Coast Highway, Scarborough Beach Road, Brighton Road and Drabble Road.

The 24-level Observation City hotel, now the Rendezvous Hotel, was built in 1986 for Alan Bond and is still the tallest building on the beachfront. The City of Stirling later set an eight-storey height limit for the area. The renewed foreshore includes the Scarborough Beach Pool, which opened in 2019. The Scarborough Beach Bus Station links the suburb to Stirling Station and the city, including through the Surf CAT.

From the 2021 census:

• Population: 17,605, with a median age of 36
• Homes: 47.6% villas, townhouses or semi-detached homes, 36.2% separate houses and 16.1% apartments
• Bedrooms: 48.7% have three and 29.9% have two
• Tenure: 39.4% rented, 34.8% owned with a mortgage and 23.6% owned outright
• Households: 34.4% are people living alone, with an average of 2.1 people per household

Villa and Duplex Moves on Shared Driveways

Older Scarborough blocks have been widely subdivided into villas and duplexes, so many homes share a long driveway with one or two neighbours. That changes how we work. Our truck may need to park on the street, and furniture has to be carried down the drive, so that walk becomes part of the job.

Tell your neighbours your moving date, and ask them to keep the shared drive clear. If cars can’t be moved, let us know when you ask for a quote. A longer carry takes more time, and we’d rather plan for it than be surprised on the day.

Apartment Movers in Scarborough, Close to the Beach

If you’re in one of the newer buildings near the foreshore, the lift and the loading area are the first things to sort out. As apartment movers in Scarborough, we’ll ask whether you need to book the lift, whether there’s a loading bay and how far it is from the lift to your door. Your building manager or strata manager can confirm the details, and it’s worth asking at least a week ahead.

Older walk-up blocks of two or three storeys have no lift at all. Carrying a fridge or a queen bed base up narrow stairs takes two trained movers, careful wrapping and a slower pace. That’s the safest way to protect the walls and the furniture.

Renters, Lease Ends and Small Moves

About four in ten Scarborough homes are rented, and a third of households are one person living alone. That makes for a lot of smaller moves, such as a one-bedroom apartment, a studio, or a few pieces going into a partner’s place. Small movers in Scarborough often need only our 3-tonne truck (up to 15 m³), two movers, or a man with a van.

If your lease ends before the new place is ready, our own storage facility can hold your things in between. It saves you from paying rent on two places at once.

Piano Movers in Scarborough

Pianos don’t suit narrow villa halls or apartment stairs, so they need proper gear and planning. As piano movers in Scarborough, we use a piano trolley, straps and padded covers, and we measure every doorway and turn before we lift. Upright pianos are the most common. Grand pianos have their legs and lyre removed and travel on their side on a piano board. Please tell us the type and the access at both homes.

Common Problems We See During Scarborough Moves

Blocked shared driveways. A neighbour’s car parked across the drive can hold up the whole move. Talk to them a few days before.

Lift not booked. Many apartment buildings need the lift booked or padded for a move. Check with your building manager early.

Beach traffic on hot weekends. Streets near the foreshore get busy on warm weekends. An early start makes loading easier.

Furniture too big for the new villa. Moving from a house into a villa often means some pieces won’t fit. Measure the rooms before moving day.

Packing left to the last night. Small homes look quick to pack until the cupboards are opened. Start a week ahead.
