Removalists Ashbury
Hourly crews for Ashbury's tight streets and Federation homes.
Federation doorways and narrow lanes in Ashbury
Widescale housing in Ashbury began around 1919, after the brickyard that occupied what is now Peace Park had run its course, and most of those Federation and interwar cottages were built with hallways barely wide enough for a wardrobe. The front steps are steep, and the streets off King Street are narrow, with cars parked on both kerbs. Our Ashbury removalists check the layout at both addresses before putting a price together, so the truck size and crew count reflect what the job actually involves.
Every crew has a supervisor who sets the loading order and decides what needs dismantling. Beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes come apart, travel wrapped, and go back together at the new place. 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.
Parking and truck access around Ashbury
Ashbury has no commercial centre and almost no through traffic. The residential streets loop between Canterbury Road and Croydon Park, and many are lined with parked cars on both kerbs. Where a full-size truck cannot park near the front door, a smaller one keeps the carry short and the job on time. If the volume needs two trips in a smaller truck, we factor that in when we quote rather than discovering it on the day.
The suburb shares its 2193 postcode with Canterbury and Hurlstone Park, and moves between the three happen often. A unit in Canterbury heading to a cottage in Ashbury is a short drive but two different kinds of access, and we price for both.
Packing help and storage between settlements
Add a packing team to the quote if you want the kitchen and wardrobes done properly before moving day. They arrive with boxes, paper and tape for sale, label every carton by room, and leave the house ready for the truck. Sealed cartons stack faster, which shaves time off the load.
When settlement dates leave a gap, we collect your furniture and hold it in a climate-controlled facility under 24/7 surveillance until the new keys come through. That covers a couple of days or several months while a renovation runs. We carry public liability and transit insurance on every job, whether it stays in the inner west or heads interstate through Croydon Park to the M5.
Book a quote for your Ashbury move
Tell us the two addresses, the bedroom count, anything heavy or awkward like a piano or pool table, and whether there are stairs or a long carry at either end. We reply with a truck size, a crew count and a price, and you are under no obligation to go ahead.
A move costs less when everything is packed and ready before the truck arrives. Drawers emptied, boxes packed and taped shut, a parking spot held out front and the hallway clear of loose items can knock half an hour off a Federation cottage. Ring 1300 724 553 to talk it through, or submit the contact form and we will call you back.

Common questions about moving in Ashbury
Will a full-size truck fit in Ashbury's streets?
Many streets are tight, with cars parked on both sides. We check the layout when you ring for a quote and choose a truck that can park close. If a smaller truck is the better call, we factor in the extra trip rather than blocking the road.
Can you move a piano out of a Federation cottage?
Yes. Pianos are quoted separately because they need extra hands and the right gear. Tell us the type, where it sits and how wide the hallway is, and we plan the crew around it.
How do you charge for an inner-west move?
By the hour. The rate depends on truck size and crew count. The clock runs from arrival at the old place to the last item placed at the new one. Access affects the time more than distance, so mention steep stairs or a tight hallway when you call.
What if my settlement dates do not line up?
We collect your things, hold them in our climate-controlled storage under 24/7 surveillance, and deliver once the new keys come through. That covers a few days or several months if you are renovating.
Do I need to buy my own packing materials?
No. We sell boxes, paper and tape, and can send a packing team to do the kitchen and wardrobes the day before. Sturdy, sealed cartons stack and load quicker, which cuts the hours on moving day.
Which route does an interstate load from Ashbury take?
South through Croydon Park to the M5, then the Hume toward Melbourne or Canberra. Brisbane loads go north on the M1 through the city. You can book a dedicated truck with a set delivery day, or share space on a backload and pay for what your furniture uses.
