Expert interstate removalists - Perth / Western Australia
The city of Perth and Western Australia in general have a lot to offer professionals and families looking to relocate from the eastern Australian states. Whilst the resources boom in WA appears to have abated, so have property prices which have returned to ‘normal’ levels.
King & Wilson moves hundreds of individuals and families across the nullabor to Western Australia each year. Our branch in Perth regularly services regional and remote areas of WA including Bunbury, Albany, Kalgoorlie, Port Hedland, Broome and Karratha. They also offer state of the art containerised storage with options for climate control for sensitive or high value objects.
We have the people and processes to ensure your move is both smooth and cost effective. Here’s how it works:
On the scheduled moving day, we visit your home to pack your belongings into specialised cartons and professionally prepare and itemise your furniture.
Our removalist team will carefully load your packed belongings into either a dedicated King & Wilson removal van or a steel removal container for transportation and delivery to your new home.
All interstate removals include the careful compliation of detailed packing list. All items transported are numbered and listed to ensure every object is accounted for. For those states with domestic quarantine clearance requirements (WA and Tasmania), we ensure all of your necessary paperwork is in order to facilitate prompt inspection and clearance.
We unpack your cartons, re-assemble and position your furniture to your requirements and dispose of any packing debris or mess.
You may wish to take advantage of our free online connection service to organise the utilities at your new home.
We pride ourselves on providing you with as much assistance as you need to make your move stress free. Should you require it, we can arrange:
