Removalists Glebe
Hourly moves through Glebe's terraces, from Blackwattle Bay to Broadway.
Terraces, tight streets and the right truck
Glebe’s streets were laid out in the 1800s for horses, not removal trucks, and most of the Victorian terraces that line them have no driveway and no garage. A move on Glebe Point Road or one of the side streets that drop toward Blackwattle Bay starts with the question of where the truck can park and how far the crew has to carry. Our Glebe removalists price every job by the hour, and the quote reflects the real access at both ends rather than a flat rate that ignores a couple of narrow staircases.
Every crew has a supervisor who plans the carry from doorway to tailgate and decides what gets protective wrapping and what needs to come apart before it leaves the room. Beds, tables and flat-pack wardrobes are taken down and rebuilt at the new address as part of the hourly rate. 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.
Getting a truck close on a Glebe street
The blocks between Glebe Point Road and Blackwattle Bay are narrow and often one-way. Terraces on Bridge Road and Hereford Street sit hard against the footpath with no setback, so a large truck may need to park around the corner while the crew carries furniture to the tailgate. Closer to Broadway the roads widen and there is more kerbside room, but the loading bays fill during business hours.
We ask about both addresses before we quote so we can pick a truck that fits. Where a bigger truck cannot get close, a smaller one keeps the crew working rather than walking empty-handed. If your building has a shared loading dock or a lift that needs booking, give us the times and we plan the move around them.
Packing a terrace when there is no staging room
In a Glebe terrace there is rarely a spare room to stack boxes the night before, and the hallways are too narrow to line them up along the wall. A lot of our moves here include a packing team the day before the truck, with boxes, paper and tape supplied, who work room by room so the kitchen and wardrobes are boxed and labelled before the crew arrives.
Every move carries public liability and transit insurance. If there is a gap between settlement dates we hold the load in our climate-controlled storage facility under round-the-clock surveillance until the new place is ready. And if you are leaving Glebe for Melbourne or Brisbane, the truck heads west along Parramatta Road and onto the motorway without needing to cross the CBD. We send a dedicated truck with an agreed delivery day, or you can share with another load heading the same way and pay only for the space your furniture takes up.
Getting a quote for your Glebe move
Give us both addresses, the number of bedrooms, anything oversized like a piano or pool table, and whether there are stairs, a lift or a long carry at either end. We come back with a price and a truck size, and you can estimate the volume with the calculator below. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation to go ahead.
You keep the hours down by having the house ready before the crew walks in. Empty drawers, sealed boxes, a cleared stairwell and a parking spot saved out front can shave an hour off a terrace move in Glebe. Ring 1300 724 553 to run through the details, or fill in the contact form and we will call you back.

Why Glebe households book us
Hourly rates, no guessing
The rate is set by the truck and crew your job needs, quoted once we know the access at both ends, so you can see how the price is built before you book.
A truck that fits the street
We run trucks in several sizes and send the one your street and your load actually need, whether it is a narrow lane off Hereford Street or a wider block near Broadway.
A supervisor on every crew
Your move has one person in charge from start to finish, setting the loading order in the terrace and checking everything off at the new place.
Packing done properly
Glassware and fragile items are wrapped the same careful way on every job. Each box is labelled by room so unpacking at the new address takes half the time.

Glebe moving questions
What do I do about permit parking on moving day in Glebe?
Most Glebe streets are resident-permit parking. You can apply to the local council for a temporary parking permit that reserves a space on moving day. Put your bins or cones out the night before to hold the length the truck needs, and let us know the spot so the driver heads straight there.
Can your crew get furniture down a narrow terrace staircase?
Yes. The terraces between Glebe Point Road and Blackwattle Bay typically have stairs about 800 mm wide with a turn at the landing. Our crews tilt and angle pieces through those turns daily. If a lounge or a fridge will not clear the turn, we measure the doorways and the landing before the move and plan an alternative path, sometimes through a back lane or a ground-floor window.
Do you move single items like a fridge or a washing machine in Glebe?
Yes. Fridges, washing machines and pool tables are quoted as their own item based on the size and the access. A single-item job in a terrace usually takes less than an hour, but the quote accounts for the stairs and the distance from the truck to the front door.
What if my new place is in Annandale or Forest Lodge, just up the road?
Short moves still run by the hour and often take less time than people expect. The truck stays on Glebe Point Road or St Johns Road and the crew can turn the whole job around quickly. We quote these the same way as any other move, so you only pay for the time the crew is working.
Can you move boxes and furniture from a Glebe share house if I am only taking my room?
Yes. We move single rooms and part-house loads regularly. Tell us which items are yours and which floor they are on, and we quote accordingly. A single-room move from a terrace share house on Glebe Point Road is a smaller job than a full house, and the price reflects that.
