Professional Furniture Removalists in Fortitude Valley

From your sofa and dining table to bedroom furniture and office desks, our team handles the lifting, loading and transport with care. We use protective wrapping to help protect your furniture during the move and can assist with standard furniture disassembly and reassembly. Let us know about oversized, fragile or particularly heavy items when requesting your quote so we can discuss the handling requirements.

If you need help getting everything ready, our packing and unpacking services can cover your whole home, selected rooms or individual fragile items. When your move-out and move-in dates don’t line up, we can also help with short-term or long-term furniture storage.

Planning an Apartment Move in Fortitude Valley

A successful apartment move starts with understanding how your belongings will get from your front door to the truck. Lift dimensions, shared corridors, stairs and the available loading area all need consideration, especially when moving larger furniture.

Around Brunswick Street Mall and Chinatown Mall, street parking is limited. Checking where a removal truck can legally load, and how far that is from your building entrance, helps identify access issues before moving day.

Before finalising your move, check the following with your building manager or body corporate:

  • Lift bookings: Does a lift need to be reserved, and are there booking windows or protective-padding requirements?
  • Loading access: Is there a designated loading bay, and does its use need to be arranged in advance?
  • Vehicle clearance: Are there height or size restrictions at the driveway, car park or loading entrance?
  • Moving hours: Does the building allow removals only on particular days or within certain hours?
  • Furniture access: Will your larger items fit through the lift doors, corridors and stairwells?

Share the access details for both your current property and your destination with our team. Photos and measurements of tight spaces can help us discuss practical options for bulky furniture. If your building requires a lift or loading-bay reservation, confirm it before agreeing on your moving time.

My partner and I have just used Optimove removals for a double move – stuff out of my house to storage whilst another truck at his place to bring his furniture and belongings to here and more to storage. We went with them based on price and a promise of ‘great care’

The removalist service has been fantastic. The boys all moved fast on both crews, were so easy to deal with, and I’ll be honest I can’t remember the last time I saw everything plastic and or blanket wrapped so well to completely protect everything we have. I would HIGHLY recommend these guys. Jacqueline Nagle

“By far the best removalists I have used. Adam and Chris were fantastic. On time, polite, energetic, fast and careful with all of my furniture. Reasonably priced and very efficient .” Jessie Mariee Watson, 29 August 2025

“I couldn’t have been happier with my choice of Optimove to shift a lot of my precious belongings into storage. The removal team phoned me to give an estimated time of arrival and when they arrived no time was wasted. The 2 removalists were fast and efficient. I was very impressed and would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for removalists and would have no hesitation in employing their services again.” Sue Bertram, 19 August 2025

“Best removal company we have ever used. Optimove removals is a great moving company, two nice lads who moved at a good pace. Everything was well looked after and arrived in perfect condition. Very good prices, next time you are looking to move to a new location check these removalists out. Better than a hiring a truck and moving your own stuff by a long way. On time, polite, no hidden costs – the most energetic men ever!!!!!” Kirsten Maria Corin, 2 August 2025

“On Saturday just gone, Adam and Chris from Optimove did an outstanding job in moving us from Burleigh Heads to Cornubia. They worked tirelessly without stopping for 5-6 hours until the job was done, whilst taking absolute care of all our possessions. They were friendly, honest and just downright good blokes. I high recommend Optimove.” Glen Read, 18 July 2025

“Just wanted to take a second to say a big thank you to the team at Optimove. The guys that arrived on the day were so friendly, helpful and professional. I couldn’t believe that when they said everything would get wrapped and protected that it actually happened. I have moved several times in the past but I found these guys definitely stood out amongst the rest with their speed and professionalism…” Carly Turner, 9 July 2025
