Established Federation and Edwardian family homes along Wattletree Road, Glenferrie Road and the streets between them.
Malvern moves are family-scale — 3 to 5 bedroom homes with established gardens. Wattletree Road and Glenferrie Road commercial strips have apartment stock we also cover.
Prahran office is 10 minutes. Cheltenham depot is 20 minutes via CityLink.
Same crews, same trucks, same hourly rates — whichever of these your Malvern 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 Malvern they are shaped by narrow streets & tight frontages.
1
Instant estimate, then a human check
Enter your Malvern 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 Malvern 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 street, not just the load
Narrow streets around Malvern rule out the biggest trucks regardless of how much you own. We match the truck to what can actually turn into your street and get out again, and where that means a smaller truck plus a shuttle we price it that way from the start. At 18km from Cheltenham Depot the run to your door is short and predictable, so start times hold.
5
Protected first, loaded second
Floor runners and doorframe padding go down before a single item moves. Mattresses go into covers, screens and mirrors into purpose-made cartons, and the load is built heaviest-first so nothing shifts on the drive.
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 Malvern move in about two minutes.
Federation homes often have narrow driveways and older brick pillars — we plan approach carefully.

What it costs
Malvern 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 Malvern
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 Malvern 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 Malvern 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.
Easy Peasy is an AFRA member and a registered NDIS provider, externally audited on insurance, equipment, driver conduct and complaints handling. The same standards apply to a one-bedroom Malvern flat as to a full house.
Melbourne's biggest and most established family belt. Established schools, established properties, established prices.
Malvern 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.
Malvern is the older, heritage-heavy Federation belt. Malvern East is slightly less dense with more mid-century and post-war family homes. Both are steady weekly work for us.
How much do removalists cost in Malvern?
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 Malvern moves run on a 8T at around $200/hr, and at 18km 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 Malvern move take?
A typical Malvern 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 Malvern?
Yes. Narrow streets and tight frontages around Malvern rule out our biggest trucks regardless of how much you own, so we match the truck to what can actually turn into your street. Send a photo of the frontage when you book and we will size it properly rather than sending the biggest vehicle and hoping.
Can you move us on a weekend in Malvern?
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 Malvern do you also cover?
All of them. We regularly move between Malvern and Glen Waverley, Burwood, Mount Waverley, Canterbury, Balwyn and Kew East. 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.
Do you supply boxes and do the packing in Malvern?
Yes to both. We can drop cartons, paper and tape ahead of your Malvern move, or send a packing crew to do the whole house. Blankets, trolleys, straps and port-a-robes are on every truck as standard — you are not charged extra for the equipment that protects your furniture.
Matty and eric were amazing! Lovely guys and Super efficient! Awesome job thanks Easley Peasey we will definitely use you again for future moves!

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.
