Removalist South Sydney
Hourly moves across Sydney's south, from the inner city to the Georges River.
Terraces, apartments and family homes across the south
South Sydney covers a lot of ground, from the narrow terrace rows around Redfern and Newtown to the newer family homes out towards Campbelltown and Macarthur. Each type of street changes how a move runs. A ground-floor terrace on a one-way street in Alexandria needs a different truck and a different plan to a double-storey house with a wide driveway in Bonnyrigg, and our South Sydney removalist crews price accordingly.
Local moves are billed by the hour. Describe the rooms, the heavy items and the access at each address, and we size the truck and crew to the job. The meter runs from arrival to the last piece placed in the new house. Every crew includes a supervisor who plans which items come off first and plans the loading sequence. Local rates start from $75 per half hour for a two-person crew and a 20 cubic metre truck, and the full list by truck size is on our removalist prices page.
Access matters more than distance
The inner-south streets are tight. Terraces along King Street in Newtown sit hard against the kerb with no front yard, so loading happens from the footpath. Walk-up flats in Redfern and Alexandria often have no lift and narrow stairwells. Further south, the roads open up but driveways can be steep along the Georges River, and new estates around Blairmount sometimes have unfinished verges with nowhere to park a large truck.
We ask about access before we quote so we can pick the right truck. Where a big vehicle cannot get close, we bring a smaller one or plan a relay so the crew is carrying furniture rather than waiting. If your building has a loading dock or a lift that needs booking, give us the times and we schedule the move around them.
Interstate loads and the M5
Southern Sydney sits right on the M5, which makes it one of the easier parts of the city for an interstate departure. A household leaving for Melbourne or Canberra joins the M5 and picks up the Hume, while a Brisbane load heads north through the city to the M1. We offer a full truck with an agreed arrival day, or you can share the space with another load heading the same way and pay by the cubic metres you use.
The furniture is wrapped in blankets and plastic and tied down so nothing shifts, whether the drive is ten minutes to Alexandria or ten hours to Melbourne. We carry public liability and transit insurance on every move. If you are arriving in South Sydney from interstate, we deliver to the door and place everything in the rooms you point at, including reassembling bed frames and dining tables.
Getting a quote for a move in South Sydney
Let us know the pickup and delivery addresses, the bedroom count and any bulky items. Describe the access at each end, including stairs, lifts, long driveways or narrow footpaths, and we put together a crew size, truck size and price. You can estimate the volume with our calculator below. Quoting is free and commits you to nothing.
We sell boxes, paper and tape, and can send a packing team to handle the kitchen and wardrobes beforehand if you would rather not do it yourself. We also keep furniture in climate-controlled storage, monitored around the clock, if the new place is not available when you have to vacate. Call 1300 724 553 or send a message through the contact form and we will be in touch.

South Sydney moving questions
Does the quote change if my apartment has no lift?
Stairs add carry time, so we factor that in when quoting. A third-floor walk-up in Redfern takes longer than a ground-floor unit with a roller door, and the quote reflects that difference. Tell us the floor and whether there is a lift so the price is right from the start.
When is the best time to move near Sydney Airport or the M5?
Weekday mornings are usually quieter on the roads around Mascot and the M5 entry. Weekend moves avoid the commuter peak altogether. We can start early if your building allows it, which keeps the drive time between addresses shorter and the hours down.
Can you move a pool table out of a South Sydney terrace?
Yes, and pool tables are quoted as their own item because they need extra hands and specific gear. In a terrace with a narrow hallway, we measure the doorways and plan the angle before the day so the crew is not improvising on site. Tell us the table size and where it sits in the house.
What happens if settlement on my new place falls through temporarily?
We pick up your furniture on the day you leave, hold it in climate-controlled storage with round-the-clock monitoring, and bring it to the new address once the keys are in your hand. The storage is priced separately from the move itself.
Do you move offices in the Alexandria and Mascot industrial area?
Yes, and we run commercial moves at night or over a weekend so the business opens on its normal day. We plan the order with you beforehand, disconnect and reconnect desks, and label everything by floor and room so setup at the new site is quick.
