Rolleston's Trusted Movers

Rolleston is one of the fastest growing towns in New Zealand and we’ve grown right along with it. Since 2017 we’ve done hundreds of moves across Selwyn District. Families relocating from Christchurch for more space, people moving between subdivisions, new build handovers where the house is finally ready after months of waiting. We’ve seen it all and nothing really surprises us anymore.

121+ five-star reviews and counting.

  • Rolleston is 22km southwest of central Christchurch. We factor that into your quote so you’re not hit with surprise charges on the day.

Hiring a truck yourself seems like the cheaper option until you actually do the sums.

The Distance Adds Up Faster Than You Think

Rolleston is 22km out from Christchurch. If you’re shifting a full house yourself, you’re looking at multiple trips back and forth. That’s a lot of fuel and a long day, and rental trucks aren’t free after hours either.

New Builds in Rolleston Look Easy But Aren’t

Flat driveways and wide hallways are great but a piano or a spa pool is still heavy and awkward no matter how new the house is. You need the right gear and people who’ve done it before.

Damage in a New Home Is Expensive

A scratch on a brand new wall or a gouge in freshly laid flooring is going to cost you. We pad and wrap everything before it goes on the truck, which is something most DIY movers skip.

It’s Your Moving Day Too

You’ve got enough going on with keys, cleaners, and kids. Having a team handle the heavy work means you can actually focus on everything else that needs your attention.

Local Moving Rules in Rolleston

Rolleston

Worth knowing before your move day. Rolleston falls under Selwyn District Council, not Christchurch City Council, so a few things are different compared to moving within the city.

Licensing & Business Requirements

  • Transport Service Licence (TSL): All our trucks are licensed for commercial transport across New Zealand.
  • Business Registration: We’re locally owned and NZBN registered.

Consumer Rights & Liability

  • Check what’s covered in your moving contract before the day. For anything valuable, get your own insurance.
  • Prohibited Items: We can’t take gas cans, chemicals, or hazardous materials.

Parking & Access

  • Cul-de-sacs in newer subdivisions: Some streets get tight for a big truck. Just tell us the address when you book and we’ll bring the right vehicle.
  • Shared driveways: A lot of Rolleston new builds have them. We sort the access out before the move day.
  • Rural Selwyn: Gravel roads and long driveways are no problem. Just let us know what we’re dealing with.

Vehicle Compliance

  • All our trucks have a current Certificate of Fitness. They’re roadworthy and we keep them that way.

Frequently Asked Questions

4 to 6 weeks ahead is the safe bet, especially if you’re settling a new build. A lot of Rolleston properties settle around the same time and dates go fast in summer.

Yeah, all the time. It’s one of our most common runs. 22km is nothing with the right truck and team.

It happens more than people expect. We can store your gear at our facility until the house is ready, whether that’s a few days or a few weeks.

Absolutely. Short local shifts within Rolleston, like Faringdon to Falcon’s Landing, are something we do regularly.
