Canterbury removalists — heritage suburb of Federation and Edwardian homes on wide. AFRA accredited crews, transparent hourly rates, and a quote in under two minutes.
Heritage suburb of Federation and Edwardian homes on wide, tree-lined streets.
Most of what we move in Canterbury is large period homes, high-value and antique inventories, and long-tenure family moves. The distance from our depot is real and we show it on the quote rather than folding it invisibly into the hourly rate. That gets built into the quote before you book, not discovered on move day. Our Cheltenham depot is 19km away.
19km from our Cheltenham depot — a standard run we make most weeks, priced accordingly.
Same crews, same trucks, same hourly rates — whichever of these your Canterbury move turns out to be. Ordered by what we do most often in heritage terraces & period homes.
Six steps, in order, from the moment you enter your address to the moment the crew leaves.
Steps three to five are the ones that change from suburb to suburb — and in Canterbury they are shaped by driveways & off-street parking.
1
Instant estimate, then a human check
Enter your Canterbury address and the calculator returns a real number in about two minutes, built from the same pricing our crews are dispatched on. Our team then reviews the enquiry personally and comes back the same business day.
2
Your date, locked with a written quote
You get the truck size, the crew size, the hourly rate, the call-out and the surcharge (if you are moving on a weekend) in writing before you commit. Nothing on that sheet changes on move day unless you change the job.
3
Doorways, staircases and the things that will not fit
Period homes in Canterbury were built before three-seat modulars and king beds. We check doorway widths, the turn at the top of the staircase, and whether anything needs to come apart or go out through a window. Getting that wrong on the day costs hours; getting it right at quote stage costs one phone call.
4
Truck sized to the load, parked at the door
Most Canterbury properties take a full-size truck at the door, which is the cheapest possible configuration — short carry, one trip, no shuttle. We size to your inventory rather than defaulting to the biggest truck, because you pay for the truck you book. At 19km from Cheltenham Depot the run to your door is short and predictable, so start times hold.
5
Wrapped, loaded and inventoried
Everything soft goes in blankets and stretch wrap before it leaves the room. Beds, tables and flat-pack come apart, and the fixings go in a labelled bag that travels with the crew leader — not loose in a drawer that ends up on the wrong truck.
6
Placed, reassembled, and signed off
Beds go back together, furniture goes where you point rather than where it lands, and the crew does a final walk-through with you before they leave. Billing stops when the last item is placed — we bill by the minute after the two-hour minimum, not in rounded-up half hours.
That is the whole process — no step six-and-a-half.Start at step one and you will have a number for your Canterbury move in about two minutes.
Heritage overlays and a dense mature canopy restrict truck height on Canterbury and Mont Albert Roads. Long garden paths from kerb to door add carry time.

What it costs
Canterbury removalist costs — work it out now
Pick your home size and where you are going. These are the same truck rates, call-out and
two-hour minimum our crews are dispatched on — so this is an indication, not a teaser.
For a real quote against your actual addresses, the calculator takes about two minutes.
Indicative only. Your real quote depends on the actual drive between your two addresses,
stairs, lifts and carry distance. Weekend and public-holiday surcharges are per crew member.
Why it matters
AFRA accredited vs a cheap quote in Canterbury
Anyone can put a truck on a website. AFRA — the Australian Furniture Removers Association —
audits members every year on insurance, equipment, training and complaints handling.
Here is what that difference looks like on a Canterbury job.
What you are comparingEasy Peasy · AFRA memberNon-accredited operator
Liability for damage to period fabric✓Insured, with crews briefed on plaster, leadlight and original floors — the things a Canterbury period home cannot have replaced.✗Commonly capped at a token figure per item, or excluded entirely for anything described as "fragile" or "antique".
Written quote before you commit✓Truck, crew, hourly rate, call-out and any weekend surcharge in writing before you book. Billed by the minute after the two-hour minimum.✗Verbal estimate over the phone, then a "the job was bigger than expected" conversation at the end of the day.
Vehicles and equipment✓Owned, maintained fleet of 20+ trucks with blankets, trolleys, straps and port-a-robes on board as standard.✗Hire truck booked that morning, with equipment charged separately or simply not carried.
Who actually turns up✓Uniformed, screened, trained employees. The same crews week after week, not a different pair each job.✗Subcontracted or casual labour with no background screening and no accountability back to the company.
If something goes wrong✓A documented complaints process, externally audited every year as an AFRA member, with an escalation path that ends at a named manager.✗No formal process. Your options are a chargeback, a bad review, or small claims.
Cancellations and no-shows✓A depot, a dispatcher and a backup truck. If a vehicle breaks down we send another one.✗One truck and one driver. A breakdown or a double-booking means your move simply does not happen that day.
Pricing after the job✓The rate you were quoted, billed to the minute. No fuel levy, no stair levy, no "heavy item" surprise.✗Low headline rate, then call-out fees, travel time, fuel surcharges and equipment hire added at the end.

Canterbury is one of the suburbs we cover across Outer East. Same crews, same trucks and the same hourly rates apply right across the region, so if you are moving between Outer East suburbs — or out of Outer East entirely — it is the same team either way. The Outer East page lists every suburb we cover in this part of Melbourne.
Is Canterbury difficult to get a removal truck into?
Heritage overlays and a dense mature canopy restrict truck height on Canterbury and Mont Albert Roads. Long garden paths from kerb to door add carry time. Tell us the street when you book and we will send the right truck rather than the biggest one.
What do removalists charge in Canterbury?
From $160/hr for a 2T van or $180/hr for a 4T truck with two removalists, 2-hour minimum, then billed by the minute. Canterbury is 19km from our Cheltenham depot, so the travel component stays modest. Run your address through the Instant Quote calculator for a full breakdown in about two minutes.
How much do removalists cost in Canterbury?
From $160/hr for a 2T van or $180/hr for a 4T truck with two removalists, with a two-hour minimum and then billed by the minute. Most Canterbury moves run on a 8T at around $200/hr, and at 19km from our Cheltenham Depot the travel component stays modest. Run your address through the Instant Quote calculator for a full breakdown in about two minutes.
How long does a Canterbury move take?
A typical Canterbury job runs 5–7 hours, based on the heritage terraces & period homes we move here most often. Stairs, lift waits and carry distance are what move that number, which is why we ask about access before we ask about bedrooms.
Do you handle the parking and access issues in Canterbury?
Usually very straightforward. Most Canterbury properties take a full-size truck at or near the door, which keeps the carry short and the job on the lower end of the estimate. We just need to know the driveway takes truck weight and that nothing overhangs the approach.
Can you move us on a weekend in Canterbury?
Yes — Saturday and Sunday slots are available and they book out first, so give us as much notice as you can. Weekend work carries a surcharge paid per removalist (+$11/hr Saturday, +$22/hr Sunday on a two-removalist truck), and it is shown on your quote before you commit rather than added afterwards.
Which suburbs near Canterbury do you also cover?
All of them. We regularly move between Canterbury and Malvern, Glen Waverley, Burwood, Balwyn, Kew East and Surrey Hills. A move between two neighbouring suburbs is one of the most common jobs we run — short drive leg, same crew, same hourly rate.
Are you insured and AFRA accredited?
Yes. Easy Peasy Removals is an AFRA member, externally audited on insurance, equipment, driver conduct and complaints handling. We carry public liability and goods-in-transit cover, and we can issue a Certificate of Currency on request — usually the same day, which is what most buildings and body corporates ask for before they will release a lift booking.

Very easy to deal with from booking to packing and unpacking the truck. The removal team of David and Oscar were very thorough and careful but also efficient. Highly recommended.

Chris and JP from Easy Peasy Removals were terrific. They were very pleasant and polite and careful with our belongings, moving all our belongings carefully including some large antiques. I can really recommend Easy Peasy. They made our move so much easier.
