Removalists Kogarah
High-rise, flats and houses in the St George area, all priced by the hour.
Three kinds of housing in a few blocks
Kogarah packs high-rise apartment towers, medium-density walk-up flats and detached houses into the one suburb, 14 kilometres south of the Sydney CBD in the heart of the St George area. A tower near the station needs a lift booking and a loading-dock window. A walk-up on a side street off the Princes Highway means stairs and a narrow stairwell. A weatherboard house closer to Kogarah Bay has a front path and a driveway instead. Each type is a different move, and our Kogarah removalists quote by the hour once we know what access looks like at your building and the new one.
A supervisor runs the day, choosing what to wrap, what to pull apart and the order everything goes on. Beds and dining tables come down before the drive and go back together at the other end. 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.
Truck access around the Princes Highway
The Princes Highway runs straight through Kogarah and the commercial strip near Jubilee Oval has almost no kerbside parking during business hours. If your unit faces the highway, we plan the load for early morning or ask you to hold a space. The side streets between the highway and the Georges River are wider but often lined with parked cars on both sides, which can leave just enough room for a smaller truck. Properties closer to Kogarah Bay and Beverley Park sometimes sit on a slope toward the water, with longer driveways that a full-size truck cannot always reverse into.
We sort all of this out before quoting. Where a big truck will not fit, we send a smaller one or plan the carry so the crew is moving furniture rather than walking back and forth. If your building has a loading dock or a lift booking window, give us the times and we schedule the move around them.
How furniture travels on the truck
The crew wraps every piece in blankets and plastic and straps it flat so nothing shifts in transit. Fridges and washing machines get extra padding. Our Kogarah removalists work the same way whether the job is a studio flat near the station or a four-bedroom house toward Beverley Park. Every move we run carries public liability and transit insurance.
If you want a packing team for the kitchen and the wardrobes the day before, or just boxes, paper and tape to manage it yourself, add it to the quote. Sealed boxes load quicker, which keeps the clock down on moving day.
Interstate loads from the St George area
Kogarah sits on the Princes Highway, so an interstate load heading south for Melbourne or Canberra picks up the highway and joins the M5 without backtracking through the CBD. Brisbane loads head north to the M1 instead. You can book a truck just for your load with an agreed delivery day, or share the space and pay for the room your furniture takes up.
If you are arriving in Kogarah from interstate, we deliver to the front door and unload into the rooms you point at. If the new place is not ready, we hold your things in our climate-controlled store under 24-hour surveillance until you have the keys.
Booking a Kogarah move
Tell us the two addresses, the rooms, the heavy items and whether there are stairs, a lift or a long carry. We reply with a truck size and a price you can cross-check with the volume calculator below. There is no charge and no lock-in.
A move goes quicker when the house is ready before we knock. Pack the boxes, empty the drawers, hold a parking spot and book the lift if your building has one. Call 1300 724 553 or fill in the contact form and we will ring you back.

How we run a Kogarah move
Quoted once we see the access
The rate is set by the truck and crew your job needs. A high-rise near the station is a different quote from a house toward Kogarah Bay, and both are spelled out before you book.
The right truck for the street
We run trucks in several sizes and send the one that fits your street and your load. No paying for empty space, and no second trip because the truck was too small.
A supervisor leads every job
One person on the truck owns the loading plan, the drive and the unload. The crew is trained by us and works the same way on every move.
Furniture wrapped and strapped
Blankets, plastic and straps go on before anything touches the truck. Fridges, glass-top tables and anything fragile get extra padding for the drive.

Access, parking and what to expect
How do you handle a move from a walk-up flat in Kogarah that has no lift?
We count the flights and check the width of the stairwell before the day. Wider furniture such as a sofa or a king-size mattress gets tilted and walked at an angle. An extra pair of hands on the crew keeps the pace up and protects the stair walls, and the time is factored into the quote before anyone starts.
Can a moving truck park on the Princes Highway during business hours?
Kerbside parking on the highway through Kogarah is very limited on weekdays. We either schedule an early-morning start before the commercial strip fills up, or ask you to hold a space. On side streets just off the highway, parking is usually easier and a standard truck can slot in without blocking the road.
What if my house slopes down toward the Georges River side of Kogarah?
We ask about the gradient and driveway width before quoting. Where a large truck cannot safely reverse down, we park on the street and plan the carry from there. The crew uses trolleys on the flat sections and carries by hand on the slope, and the extra walk is already in the price.
Can I pull out a few boxes while the rest of my things stay in storage?
Yes. Your load stays together in our facility and we can arrange partial access if you need work clothes or kitchen gear before the full delivery. This comes up regularly with Kogarah moves where settlement dates shift at the last minute.
Do you move medical or office equipment along the Kogarah commercial strip?
Yes. We run office and commercial moves at night or over a weekend so the practice or business can open on Monday. Kogarah has medical centres and commercial offices along the Princes Highway, and we work around opening hours and patient schedules. Equipment is padded and IT gear is handled separately from general furniture.
