Leigh contacted Jake Removals, one of the trusted removalists Pakenham residents rely on, for a quote to move from his four-bedroom, single-storey home to another property within the local area. As experienced and affordable Melbourne removalists, we regularly manage moves like this while maintaining a high standard of care. After reviewing the inventory and access, we allocated an 8-tonne truck for the relocation.
Leigh’s enquiry included a marble dining table, which we classify as a special-care item because of its weight, fragility and shape. We explained that an additional handling charge would apply so the right equipment, preparation and protection could be provided. Marble tables vary considerably: some have solid stone tops, while others feature delicate edges, intricate bases or unusually thick slabs. Each design requires a tailored handling plan.
Our experienced movers used a custom-built trolley designed for heavy items such as marble tables and pool tables. They carefully dismantled the table, separating the marble top from its legs, then securely wrapped and protected every component before loading it into the truck.
At Leigh’s new Pakenham property, the team unloaded and reassembled the table before positioning it safely in his home. This careful process allowed the heavy, delicate piece—and the contents of the four-bedroom home—to be moved efficiently and securely.

Pakenham is located about 56 kilometres south-east of Melbourne’s CBD in the City of Cardinia and has the postcode 3810. The suburb recorded a population of 54,118 in the 2021 Census and continues to expand as new housing and infrastructure are delivered. As at March 2026, the median house price is reported at approximately $715,000, with annual capital growth of 8.33%. Median house rent is around $560 per week, producing a rental yield of about 4.06%. AreaSearch reports 1,030 house sales and 164 unit sales in the preceding 12 months, with houses averaging 14 days on the market.
Growth is being supported by the 630-hectare Pakenham East precinct, planned for more than 7,000 homes and around 23,000 residents, along with a town centre, schools, parks and sporting reserves. The Pakenham Community Hospital reached structural completion in November 2025 and is designed to support urgent care, chemotherapy, dialysis and diagnostic services, while Pakenham Central Marketplace completed a major redevelopment in late 2025. The suburb also retains strong historical roots: its original post office opened in 1859 and its railway station dates to 1877.
