Removalists Allambie Heights
Home and retirement village moves on the Northern Beaches, matched to your street.
Moving from a 1950s home on the Northern Beaches
Most houses in Allambie Heights were built in the late 1940s and 1950s, so hallways are narrower and doorways lower than in a modern estate. Streets like Tobruk Avenue, Libya Crescent and Churchill Crescent curve through the bush at the edge of Garigal National Park, and some blocks slope steeply from the road. We ask about the layout and the driveway before we quote so our Allambie Heights removalists can send a truck that actually fits.
A supervisor is in charge from start to finish, setting the loading order and deciding what comes apart and what gets wrapped first. Beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes are taken apart at the old house and put back together once the crew reaches the new one. 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.
Retirement village and downsizing moves
Allambie Heights has several retirement facilities, including Scalabrini Village, Fred Hutley Village and the Allambie Heights Village. A downsizing move from a family home on Roosevelt Avenue into a single-level unit inside one of these villages is a different job from a house-to-house move. The village usually controls when a truck can enter and where it parks, and there may be shared corridors or narrow paths to work through. Tell us the facility name and we confirm the access rules before moving day.
The suburb sits 17 kilometres north-east of the Sydney CBD, and the routes in and out run through Warringah Road, which can be heavy in peak times. We plan the truck arrival to avoid the worst of it, and where a big truck cannot get close to the door, we send a smaller one or plan the carry so the crew keeps moving rather than standing around.
Packing and storing around settlement
For a house on Derna Crescent or Owen Stanley Avenue with decades of accumulated belongings, our packing team can sort the kitchen, protect the artwork and label every carton by room the day before the truck arrives. Boxes, paper and tape are available from us, or you can buy them ahead and pack at your own pace.
All furniture is wrapped in blankets and plastic and strapped in the truck, and every move carries public liability and transit insurance. If your settlement dates do not line up, we collect your load and hold it in our climate-controlled storage facility under 24/7 surveillance until the new place is ready, whether that is a few days or several months.
Getting a quote for your Allambie Heights move
We also handle interstate moves. A household leaving Allambie Heights for Melbourne or Brisbane can take a dedicated truck with a confirmed delivery date, or share space on a backload and pay for the room the furniture takes. If you are arriving from interstate, we carry everything inside and place it where you want.
Tell us both addresses, how many bedrooms, and anything oversized like a piano or pool table. We reply with a price and a truck recommendation. The quote is free and obligation-free. The less time the crew spends on the job, the less you pay, so having boxes packed, drawers emptied and a spot held near the front door makes a real difference. Call 1300 724 553 or use the contact form and we will get back to you.

Allambie Heights moving questions
How do you get a truck into the narrower streets near Garigal National Park?
Streets like Moresby Place and Wewak Place are short cul-de-sacs that back onto the national park, with limited turning room at the end. We check the street on a map before we quote and send a truck that can reverse in safely. If a large vehicle cannot get close, we use a smaller one and arrange the carry so the crew is moving furniture rather than walking empty-handed.
Can you move someone out of a retirement village?
Yes. Scalabrini Village, Fred Hutley Village and the Allambie Heights Village each have their own vehicle access rules, and some restrict truck sizes or set time windows for loading. Give us the facility name when you call and we confirm the rules before the day. A downsizing move usually means fewer large items but more careful sorting, and we can bring a packing team if that helps.
What size truck suits a three-bedroom home in Allambie Heights?
A typical three-bedroom 1950s brick home on Anzio Avenue or Roosevelt Avenue usually fits on a truck around 30 to 40 cubic metres, with a two- or three-person crew. We size the truck once we know the rooms, the bulky items and the layout at both ends, so you pay for the space you actually need.
Do you run interstate moves from the Northern Beaches?
Yes. A household leaving a post-war brick home in Allambie Heights for Melbourne or Brisbane can take a dedicated truck with a confirmed delivery date, or share space on a backload and pay for the room the furniture takes. We protect and load everything the same way as a local job.
Can I buy boxes and packing tape before moving day?
Yes. We sell moving boxes in several sizes, plus paper and tape. For a 1950s home with a single garage and a shed out the back, the packing adds up quickly, so we can also send a team the day before to box the kitchen and wardrobes. Sealed, labelled boxes load faster, which keeps the hours down.
