What We Do
Three things,
done properly.
Rubbish Removal
Old furniture, white-ware, renovation debris, general clutterwe load it, we take it. Council bags don't cut it for a full clean-out. We do the heavy lifting so you don't have to.
- Household junk & furniture
- Appliances & whiteware

Green Waste Removal
A weekend in the garden and suddenly there's a mountain of trimmings you can't shift. We collect branches, lawn clippings, hedge pruningswhatever you've piled up.

- Lawn clippings & leaves
- Organic garden debris
House Moving
Moving house is already stressful. Figuring out a truck and half a day of your mates' time shouldn't be part of it. We take care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on settling in.

About Us
Just two local guys
who get stuff done.
We started The Moving Mates because we kept hearing the same storypeople struggling to find reliable, affordable help for the kind of jobs that fall between the cracks. Too big for a ute, too small for a big moving company.
We're based in Christchurch and we only work in Christchurch. That means we're not stretched thin across half the South Islandwe're here, available, and we actually pick up the phone.
We're not a franchise. We're not a call centre. It's just us, our truck, and a straightforward approach to getting your job sorted.
