Double Bay removals, sized to the street.

Often, though not always. Bay Street and Knox Street run one-way and fill with shopper traffic, and the legal kerb window on the retail strip is short. For a wider terrace on a through street the 4 tonne pantech with its tail-lift is ideal, and it does the whole job in one load. We check the street on a map, and with you, before the day so nothing is a surprise on arrival.

Where a lane is too narrow, or the only legal stop is a few minutes long, a 1 to 3 tonne cargo van comes instead of the pantech and makes more runs to the door. It is the same crew and the same fixed price, both set at the quote. Tell us the street name and the nearest cross street, and we will tell you which vehicle suits the address and how we will work the kerb.

It is normal here, and we plan for it rather than hope. Most Double Bay terraces and semis open straight onto a narrow street with no driveway, so the crew works from the nearest legal kerb and carries in. That walk, and any steps up from the road, are measured and counted when you quote, so the number you see already covers the carry. Nothing about the distance to the door is added on the day.

If your street is one-way or tightly parked, we time the arrival for a calmer window and choose the vehicle that can actually stop near you. On the busiest lanes that means a smaller van doing more runs, which is quicker than a large truck stranded around the corner. Send a photo of the frontage and we will build the approach into the quote before you book.

The 1930s and 60s blocks around Double Bay usually have a small lift or a shared stairwell, and sometimes both are tight. Before the day we check the lift car against your bigger pieces, the sofa, the mattress, the wardrobe, and the turns in the stairwell. Where a piece will not fit the lift, the crew carries it and we allow for the flights in the price, so the time is never a shock at the end.

We protect the common areas as we go, with blankets on corners and care through the entry. Booking a lift with the building, where one is required, is worth doing early, and we will tell you if your block usually needs it. Give us the floor and whether there is a lift when you quote, and the crew size and the timing are set to match the building.

Yes, and it is a large part of the work in Double Bay. Antiques, mirrors, marble tops and glass are wrapped in blankets with edge and corner protection before they leave the room, and fragile pieces are loaded so nothing rests against them in transit. Single items up to 3m long and 150kg are within the fleet, and the crew dismantles and rebuilds bed frames and larger items as part of the job.

There are limits worth knowing early. Anything over 120kg, such as a piano, a pool table or a safe, sits outside what our vehicles carry, so we cannot take those. We also do not offer packing or storage. If you have a doubtful piece, tell us the size and rough weight when you quote and we will confirm whether it is one we can move for you.

Yes. Business deliveries are running across the area today, and home removals, small moves and junk removal are booked the same way, with one crew and one vehicle sized to your street. You quote the job online, we confirm the cover for your exact address before you pay anything, and the price is fixed at that point. There is no deposit taken against a date we have not confirmed, so you are never paying ahead of a firm booking.

Because Double Bay sits on steep, narrow ground, the confirmation step also settles the practical details, which vehicle suits the lane, where it can legally stop, and how the flights will be worked. If anything about your address changes the approach, we tell you at the quote rather than on the day. Ask when you book and we will confirm cover and the plan together in about a minute.
