Perth Removalist Near Glendalough

Looking for a professional Perth removalist near Glendalough who delivers full white glove service in a single trip? Our team recently moved an entire 2×1 home from Glendalough WA 6016 to the south side of Wellard WA 6170, including a stainless steel fridge, large outdoor pot plants and every piece of furniture, using a large commercial van and without ever taking the fridge apart. The job started at 8 45 and finished at 1 15, and the client was very happy with the smooth, efficient service.

Early Morning in Glendalough

The move began at 8:45AM when our large commercial van arrived on site. Moving blankets, ratchet straps and plant crates were unloaded and staged. The first challenge was the stainless steel fridge, wrapped in quilted pads and secured to a heavy duty dolly. It measured just a few centimeters wider than the front doorway so we unbolted the door from its hinges to gain extra clearance and rolled the fridge straight through without any disassembly of the appliance.

Dismantling and Reassembling the Bed

Next we tackled the master bed. As part of our white glove removalist service we carefully dismantled the bed frame into manageable sections, wrapped each component in moving blankets and loaded it into the van. At the client’s new home we reassembled the frame exactly as it had been in Glendalough, ensuring every fitting was tight and secure.

Packing and Loading Process

Our white glove removalist service covers every detail:
1. Room by room packing
  We cleared the living room first, including sofa, coffee table and shelving. Next came the bedrooms with beds, wardrobes and bedside tables. Finally we loaded the kitchen and dining suite, followed by boxes of books, clothes and kitchenware.
2. Protective materials
  Every piece of furniture and fragile item was cushioned with bubble wrap and moving blankets. Floor runners protected hallways and door frames throughout the process.
3. Clear labeling and inventory
  Each box was marked with its destination room and a brief contents list, making unpacking in Wellard quick and painless.
One Trip Move to Wellard

By 10 00 the van was fully loaded yet still under capacity thanks to precise load planning. We completed the 30 minute drive to Wellard before peak traffic, arriving ready to unload and set up.

Unloading and Setup in Wellard
1. The fridge was rolled directly from the van into its new kitchen position.
2. Outdoor pot plants were unpacked from their breathable crates and positioned on the alfresco patio for optimal sun exposure.
3. The bed frame was reassembled and stripped of its protective wrapping.
4. Furniture was arranged according to the client floor plan.
5. Every box was ticked off the checklist to confirm nothing was left behind.
By 1:15 the entire move was complete—all in one seamless trip with premium white glove care from start to finish. The client was thrilled with the punctuality, professionalism and care shown throughout the process.

Why Choose a Perth Removalist Near Glendalough
1. Local expertise across Glendalough and Perth suburbs
2. Full white glove service with packing, unpacking and reassembly
3. One trip efficiency that saves you time and money
4. Professional handling of heavy and awkward items using a large commercial van

HIRE BIG VAN + DRIVER
Hello World and Perth, Welcome to Furniture Taxi’s first blog post

Who we are and what we do.

We are previously known as Hire Big Van + Driver on google we have been providing vans for hire and moving furniture for about 6 years on the side in Perth’s northern suburbs formerly located in Balcatta.

On 7 September 2016 we started out using a Mercedes sprinter cargo van with about 10m2 in cargo capacity and 2.0-ton max payload.

Trucks are too big and bulky these commercial vans can do the exact same job with only 5 cubic meters less space than a 4.5-ton truck , using these vans was perfect for moving all essential items in one go.

2022 we decided to purchase a 2nd van VW Crafter 16 meters cubed of cargo capacity with almost double the size of the Mercedes sprinter it was the perfect vehicle to open up a business, we just recently started trading as Furniture Taxi and recently relocated to Greenwood. Benifts of a van

Benefits of a van
- Vans are lower they don’t need a tail lift
- Much faster to load and unload with a ramp
- Smaller carbon footprint
- Cheaper to run means cheaper prices for you
- They are perfect for city jobs as they can go more places than a big truck
Recently we decided to put a tow bar step on the back for easier access
