Removalists Lidcombe
Hourly moves from old cottages to new towers across Lidcombe and Sydney.
Old cottages, new towers and the truck in between
Lidcombe has changed fast. A street of single-storey houses from the post-war years can sit next to a ten-storey apartment tower, and the access at each is completely different. A cottage move means a short carry from the front door to the truck at the kerb. A tower move means a lift booking, a loading dock window and a trolley run through a basement car park. Our Lidcombe removalists check both ends before quoting so the truck, the crew and the time match the actual job.
A supervisor sets the loading order on every move, and the crew wrap furniture in blankets and plastic and strap it in the truck before anything rolls. Beds, wardrobes and dining tables are taken apart and put 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.
Access across Lidcombe
Lidcombe sits 15 kilometres west of the Sydney CBD in the Cumberland Council area. The older streets around the station are tight, with cars parked on both sides and little room for a full-size truck to pull up. The new apartment blocks closer to Parramatta Road have loading docks and lifts, but those come with booking windows and shared access that the crew needs to work around.
We run trucks in several sizes. For a ground-floor house on a wide street near Strathfield, a large truck works fine. For a unit on the eighth floor of a tower near the station with a two-hour loading dock slot, a smaller truck that can get in and out quickly makes more sense. We work the truck choice into the quote rather than guessing on the day.
Interstate through the M4 corridor
Lidcombe is right on the M4 Western Motorway, which makes it a quick start for an interstate load. A household heading to Melbourne or Canberra picks up the Hume from the M4, and a Brisbane-bound load heads north on the M1 instead. We offer a dedicated truck with a set delivery day, or a shared backload priced on the space your furniture takes up, with public liability and transit insurance on every move.
If there is a gap between selling and settling, we store your things in a climate-controlled facility with round-the-clock surveillance and deliver when the new place is ready. We also sell boxes, paper and tape, and if you want the packing done for you, our crew can wrap the kitchen and the wardrobes the day before so loading goes faster.
Get a quote for your Lidcombe move
Give us the two addresses, the number of bedrooms, anything oversized like a piano or a pool table, and whether there are stairs, a lift or a long carry at either end. We reply with a truck size and a price. The quote is free and you are under no obligation.
Keeping the hours down saves money. Have boxes sealed and labelled, drawers emptied, a clear path to the front door and a parking spot held for the truck. In a tower, book the lift and the loading dock for the time the crew arrives. Call 1300 724 553 or send us the details through the contact form.

A truck sized to the street
Several truck sizes mean we send the one that fits your street and your load. No empty space, no second trip when the right truck is on the job.
A supervisor on every job
One person on the truck owns the loading plan and keeps the crew moving from first item to last box at the new place.
Furniture secured for transit
The crew wraps furniture in blankets and plastic, then straps each piece in the truck before leaving the address.

Answers for a Lidcombe move
What is the difference between moving out of a Lidcombe cottage and a high-rise apartment?
A cottage is usually ground floor with a short carry to the truck at the kerb. A high-rise unit means a lift booking, a loading dock slot and a trolley run through the basement. The time and crew differ, so the cost differs. We ask about the building type and the access when you request a quote.
Is there enough room to park a truck on the older streets near Lidcombe station?
The older streets are tight, with cars parked on both sides. If you can hold a spot out the front for the truck on the morning of the move, it saves time. If that is not possible, we work out the nearest legal spot and factor the carry distance into the price.
Can you move a single item like a fridge or washing machine from a Lidcombe unit?
Yes. Single-item moves are quoted on their own. Tell us which floor the item is on, whether there is a lift, and where the truck can park, and we give you a price. Fridges need to be switched off and defrosted the night before.
How do you handle a loading dock booking at one of the new towers on Parramatta Road?
Tell us the building rules when you book. We schedule the crew to arrive when the dock slot opens so we use the full window. If the building needs insurance certificates or a check-in process, we sort that out before the day.
Can I share a truck with another load if I am moving interstate from Lidcombe?
Yes. A backload means your furniture shares truck space with another load heading the same way, and you pay only for the space yours takes up. It is cheaper than a dedicated truck but the delivery window is wider. We explain both options when you ask for a quote.
