With lots of experience making moves easy, Dalby Removal Homes has a great track record of happy customers. Today, we’re excited to share two stories that show how Dalby makes tough moves simple and stress-free.
A Family Relocation Made Easy
Relocating as a family is no small task—it comes with unique challenges like meeting the needs of young children, ensuring your belongings arrive safely, and juggling a packed schedule. For Chris Radke, the process seemed even more overwhelming. Thankfully, Dalby Removal Homes turned what could have been a stressful experience into a seamless and rewarding journey.
Background
Chris had a special project in mind. He needed to relocate a four-room, 130-year-old cottage to add as an extension to his existing 110-year-old home. It wasn’t just about moving a house—it was about preserving history and making sure everything was done with precision and care.
The Challenge
Chris faced several significant challenges:
- Preserving a historic home: Moving a 130-year-old cottage without causing damage required expertise and careful handling.
- Council approvals: The process of gaining council permissions is often complex and time-consuming, especially for projects involving heritage homes.
- Timing the move: Chris needed the move to happen at night to minimise disruptions to his family and local traffic, particularly during the cold and unpredictable winter months.
The Solution
Enter Robert Smiley from Dalby Removal Homes, who went above and beyond to guide Chris through every obstacle. With Robert’s hands-on support and the expertise of the Dalby team, every aspect of the move was meticulously planned and executed:
- Simplifying council approvals: Robert personally helped Chris navigate the complicated council approval process, ensuring everything was done correctly and on time.
- Expert handling: The team handled the historic home with the utmost care, utilising decades of experience to ensure the house was transported safely and precisely.
- Overseeing the move: Robert didn’t just delegate—he personally oversaw the move, even staying up through the night to ensure everything went smoothly. With coffee in hand and a dedicated crew, the house was transported at midnight and securely in place by 5 am, all while minimising disruption to Chris’s family life.
The Outcome
Chris couldn’t have been happier with the results.
“My purchase was a four-room 130-year-old cottage to add to my existing 110-year-old home, and right from the beginning, I knew I had made the right decision. Robert really cares about his houses and customers.”
Thanks to Dalby Removal Homes’ expertise and commitment, Chris’s dream of seamlessly combining two historic homes became a reality. Today, his extended home is not only a beautiful living space but an award-winning project. Chris can now enjoy a piece of history preserved with care, all thanks to Dalby Removal Homes’ exceptional service and dedication to customer satisfaction.
A Seamless Office Move
Office relocations or house moves can be really complicated. When things go wrong, there’s often a lot at stake—time, money, and even stress. Moving delicate or heavy items without damage and managing all the planning involved takes a lot of care and expertise. That’s where Dalby Removal Homes stands out. Rae MacRae’s story shows how they handle even the most challenging moves with skill and dedication.
Background
Rae MacRae wanted to move a home to her rural property in Roma. After years of searching, she finally found the perfect home through Dalby Removal Homes. This wasn’t just about moving a house—it was about bringing Rae’s dream home to life, a place where she and her family could settle.
The Challenge
This wasn’t an easy task. There were a lot of hurdles to overcome, including:
- Getting council approvals, meeting compliance rules, and making detailed plans.
- Moving the house through tough conditions like summer heat and heavy clay soil.
- Keeping the house safe and intact during the journey while dealing with surprises, like sudden bad weather.
The Solution
Rae’s experience with Dalby Removal Homes was nothing short of amazing. She describes their team as patient, professional, and incredibly thorough. Robert Smiley, a leader on the team, guided her through every step, ensuring she felt confident and supported along the way.
When it came to actually moving the house, Rohan Worsley, Joe, and the Dalby removal team used their years of expertise to overcome every challenge with calm confidence. For example, when unexpected rain hit in February, the team didn’t panic—they jumped into action, re-tarping the roof at midnight to keep everything safe and dry.
The team also had a great attitude throughout the process, sharing good humour even during the toughest moments. On top of that, specialists like Paul Buckley made sure everything, including the roof and guttering, was finished to the highest standards.
The Outcome
The results were better than Rae could have ever imagined. Her dream home was safely moved and set up on her property, ready for her family to enjoy. Rae couldn’t stop praising the team:
“Finally, Robert Smiley was a great help in all aspects of this project. We have been fortunate to have his services. We commend Robert to you.”
Dalby Removal Homes didn’t just move a house—they made Rae’s dream a reality. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care left Rae and her family extremely happy. Her story is proof of what’s possible when you work with experts who truly care about their customers and their homes.
