Removalists Camperdown
Inner-city terrace moves near RPA and the university, charged by the hour.
Terraces, tight streets and four kilometres to the city
Most of Camperdown is terrace houses and low-rise apartment blocks packed into narrow streets four kilometres south-west of the Sydney CBD. Driveways are rare, so the truck parks on the street and the crew carries everything from the front door. On streets near Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and around Victoria Park on the corner of Parramatta Road and City Road, parking is tight and the spaces go early. Our Camperdown removalists check the street and the building before quoting so the truck fits, the carry is planned and the time is honest.
A supervisor runs every move, sets the loading order and decides what needs wrapping and what comes apart. Tables, beds and flat-pack wardrobes come apart before loading and go back together once the truck is unloaded. 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.
Hospital conversions, share houses and unit blocks
Camperdown has a few building types that create their own access problems. The former Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children site has been converted into apartment complexes with basement parking, lifts and loading dock slots that need booking ahead of time. The terrace streets running between Parramatta Road and Camperdown Memorial Rest Park are too narrow for a large truck, so we send a smaller one and plan the carry.
Near the University of Sydney and the Glebe side of the suburb, share-house moves are common. These are usually smaller loads from a single room or two, and a smaller truck with a two-person crew keeps the cost down. Around Chippendale and Redfern the streets are similar, and we match the truck to each one rather than sending the same size to every address.
Packing in a small space, and storage when you need it
In an inner-city terrace or apartment, there is often no room to stage packed boxes the night before. Our packing crew can come that morning, wrap the kitchen and wardrobes, and stack everything so loading is quick. Boxes, paper and tape are supplied, and every carton is labelled by room.
If you need to be out before the new place is ready, we keep your furniture in a climate-controlled storage facility under 24-hour surveillance and bring it to the new address when you have the keys. Interstate moves from Camperdown head west on Parramatta Road to the M4, then onto the Hume toward Melbourne or Canberra, or the M1 north to Brisbane. Every load is covered by public liability and transit insurance, whether it is going across the suburb or across the country. We run a dedicated truck or a shared backload priced on the space your things use.
Get a quote for a Camperdown move
Send us the two addresses, the number of rooms, any large items like a piano or a pool table, and the access at each end. For a terrace, tell us whether there are internal stairs. For a unit, give us the floor, the lift situation and any loading dock rules. We come back with a price and a truck size.
There is no cost for the quote and you do not have to book. The easiest way to keep the hours down is to have boxes packed, drawers empty and a spot held on the street for the truck. Call 1300 724 553 to talk it through, or use the contact form.

What comes with your Camperdown move
Hourly rates, no flat-fee guesses
The rate depends on the truck and crew the job needs, quoted after we check the access. The clock runs from arrival to the last item placed.
Crew trained by us
Our crews work the same way on every job. The supervisor sets the plan, and the team wraps, lifts and stacks the way they were trained.
The right truck for a narrow street
We run several sizes and pick the one that fits the terrace street or the apartment loading dock, not just the largest one available.
Wrapped and secured
Blankets, plastic and truck straps keep furniture secure through terrace doorways, loading docks and the drive to the new address.

Terrace moves near the university and RPA
Can a truck fit on the narrow streets between Parramatta Road and the rest park?
Some of those streets are too tight for a large truck. We check the width and the parking situation before quoting, and if a smaller truck is the better choice we send that instead. A shorter loading time usually offsets the smaller capacity for a terrace-sized load.
How do you handle a move from one of the converted hospital apartments in Camperdown?
Those complexes have basement parking, lifts and shared loading docks with timed booking slots. Give us the building rules when you book, and we schedule the crew to match the dock window. We bring trolleys for the basement run and wrap everything before it goes on the lift.
Is a share-house move near the University of Sydney cheaper than a full-house move?
Usually, yes. A single room or two rooms is a smaller load, and a smaller truck with a two-person crew keeps the hourly cost down. Tell us what you are moving and we quote the truck size to fit.
Can you move a piano down the front steps of a Camperdown terrace?
Yes. Pianos are quoted as their own item because they need extra hands and the right gear. Terrace front steps are narrow and often steep, so we check the width, the angle and the landing before the day and plan the carry around it.
What if I am moving from Camperdown to Melbourne and need to store things first?
We pick up from your Camperdown address, hold your furniture in climate-controlled storage until the new place is ready, and deliver to your Melbourne address on a set day. The storage can be a few days or several months depending on what you need.
