Experience a stress-free move with Optimove’s Paddington removalists – your local experts in relocating homes and businesses in this charming inner-west Brisbane suburb. Paddington is famous for its hilly streets with character-filled Queenslanders, boutique shops along Latrobe Terrace, and a vibrant café scene. Moving in Paddington comes with unique challenges (think steep driveways, tight staircases, limited street parking), but with Optimove’s skilled team, you can sit back and relax while we handle it all.
Local Knowledge Meets Professional Service: At Optimove, we pride ourselves on knowing Paddington like our own backyard. Many of our team members have lived around the area, so we get it – from navigating a moving truck through the narrow one-way streets of Paddington to delicately transporting furniture out of a classic timber home without scratching the polished floors. We treat every move as if it were our own. Being local means we know the best times to schedule a move (to avoid school traffic near local schools or game day congestion when there’s an event at Suncorp Stadium nearby). Our removalists in Paddington are not just strong and efficient, but also courteous and respectful of the community and your belongings.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Paddington house has very steep access. Can you still handle the move?
Yes, we can. Paddington is famous for those steep hills! We’ve moved many homes perched on inclines or with long, steep driveways. Our team will assess the access and decide the best approach. Sometimes, if the truck can’t get close, we use smaller vans to shuttle items to the main truck parked on a flatter, accessible street. We also have powered stair-climber trolleys that can help lift heavy items up or down steps more easily. It might take a little extra time and planning, but rest assured, we’ve dealt with this scenario plenty of times. Safety is our priority – both for our crew and your items – so we’ll implement the safest method. In some cases, we might schedule the move at a particular time of day when more parking is available closer to your home (e.g., when neighbours leave for work, etc.). We’ll coordinate all this with you beforehand.
Do I need to empty my wardrobes and drawers before moving?
We generally recommend emptying large furniture like wardrobes, dressers, and desks for a couple of reasons: safety and protection of your belongings. Carrying these items is safer when they’re lighter, and it also prevents any internal items from shifting around or getting damaged. For small moves within the same property (like moving a dresser from one room to another), sometimes leaving clothes in drawers is fine. But for a full house move:
-
Wardrobes: If they’re portable wardrobes or the built-in kind with removalists carrying parts, they should be emptied. Clothes can be transported in hanging boxes we provide, or folded into suitcases/boxes.
-
Chest of Drawers/Dressers: We usually ask you to empty these. In some cases, if drawers are not too heavy and contain soft items (like clothes), we may secure the drawers and move the piece intact. But it’s often easier to take drawers out, carry the frame, then drawers, and put them back in the truck.
Basically, to be safe, plan to pack up the contents of any furniture that holds items. We can provide boxes for those contents. One trick: you can leave lightweight soft items (like pillows or sweaters) in drawers and we’ll shrink-wrap the piece so drawers don’t slide – this can save some packing. For heavier or fragile stuff, definitely take it out. Our team can advise you specifically on moving day too. If we arrive and see drawers loaded with heavy books, we’ll likely unload those into a box for the journey to avoid any damage to the furniture or hazard while lifting. Always better to play it safe!
What if something breaks or gets damaged during the move?
We take every precaution to prevent damage – our track record is excellent – but we want you to be reassured. If an item is damaged due to our handling or during transit, please notify the team leader immediately (or contact our office). We will assess the situation. Optimove is insured for such events, meaning we can repair or compensate for the damage as appropriate. Our customer service team will work with you to resolve it swiftly, whether that means repairing the item, replacing it, or providing agreed compensation. We handle claims professionally and fairly – our goal is your satisfaction, even in the rare cases when something goes wrong. It’s part of why people trust us; we don’t dodge responsibility.
