Lift windows and loading bays in Double Bay
Double Bay takes its name from the two harbour coves between Point Piper and Darling Point, and the suburb’s housing reflects the waterfront location. Low-rise apartment blocks line New South Head Road, while large terraces and freestanding homes climb the slopes above. Almost every apartment building restricts removalist access to a booked goods lift during set hours, and missing that window means the crew waits on the clock. Our Double Bay removalists ask for the building rules when quoting and schedule the truck to land inside them.
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.
Terraces, steep paths and tight kerbside parking
For the freestanding homes along the ridge between Darling Point and Rose Bay, access usually means a steep front path, shared side driveway or a narrow lane where only a smaller truck fits. We look at the slope, the turning space and the distance from kerb to front door, then pick a truck size that keeps the carry short. If two trips in a smaller vehicle work out faster than one trip in a truck that cannot get close, we quote that way.
A supervisor runs every move from first lift to last placement. Lounges, fridges and heavy timber furniture are blanketed, wrapped in plastic and strapped before they leave the house. Beds and tables come apart, travel secure, and are put back together at the new address.
Packing an eastern suburbs apartment
Compact apartments leave little room to stage boxes the night before, and a packing team solves that. Ours arrive the morning of the move with boxes, paper and tape for sale, pack each room in order, and the crew loads as they go. It adds a line to the quote but can shorten the total hours because everything is sealed, labelled and ready to stack as soon as it is done.
We carry public liability and transit insurance on every move. If the new keys are not ready yet, we pick up your belongings, hold them in a climate-controlled facility with 24/7 surveillance, and deliver when you say the word.
Heading interstate from Double Bay
Interstate loads run through the Eastern Distributor and onto the M5 heading south for Melbourne and Canberra, or north through the city to the M1 for Brisbane. You can reserve a dedicated truck with an agreed delivery day, or share a backload and pay only for the cubic metres your furniture occupies.
Here is how to get a quote. Give us both addresses, the bedroom count, anything oversized like a piano or pool table, and the building’s lift and loading-bay schedule. We come back with a crew count, truck size and figure. The quote costs nothing and carries no obligation. Call 1300 724 553 or lodge the contact form and we will be in touch.

Double Bay moving questions
How do you work around a building's lift and loading-bay rules?
We ask for the permitted hours and booking requirements when you request a quote, then schedule the crew to arrive and finish inside that window. Getting the timing right avoids the crew standing idle on the clock.
Can you handle antique furniture and large artwork?
Yes. Artwork and antiques are individually blanketed and wrapped in plastic, and awkward or heavy pieces are strapped so they cannot shift during transit. Let us know what you have and we bring the right protection.
Is there a smaller truck for the narrow streets near the waterfront?
We carry several sizes. For the tight streets between Darling Point and Point Piper, a smaller vehicle often makes more sense. If the load needs two trips, we account for that in the quote so the total price is clear up front.
What if the new apartment is not ready on moving day?
We pick up your goods, keep them in our climate-controlled storage under 24/7 surveillance, and deliver once you have the keys. That bridges a couple of days or several months.
Can you move one heavy item like a pool table or fridge?
Yes. Single-item moves are quoted as a standalone job so the right crew and gear arrive. Tell us the item, where it sits and the access at both ends.
