Hurstville moves that clear the basement.
A tower move here is decided downstairs and upstairs. What the basement clearance allows, and what building management has already approved. We settle both before the day.
- Basement clearance checked before we choose the vehicle
- Management approval and the lift window sorted early
- Hurstville is served today, across St George
Where a Hurstville move slows
The clearance bar decides
Tower basements post a height limit at the entry, and a taller truck simply cannot follow you down. We ask for that number at the quote and send a vehicle that fits under it.
Management approves the date
High-density blocks usually want the move approved before anyone touches a lift. Start early. Approval is the slow part, and nobody can rush it on the morning.
The lift is a booked window
A service lift comes with a time on it, padded and held for your run. We build the load order around that window rather than hoping the day stretches.
Moving house in Hurstville
Hurstville has gone vertical. Towers cluster around the centre, and a growing share of local moves now begin on a floor with a number rather than a front gate.
That changes what a quote needs to know. Less about muscle, more about clearances, approvals and the order things go into a lift. Our moving house checklist covers the rest of the week.
Height before the truck
Basement carparks are built for cars, so the entry bar is low and it is never negotiable. Tell us the posted height and we match the vehicle to it.
Approval and the paperwork
Most buildings want notice and an agreed date before a lift can be held at all. It is rarely difficult, only slow, so ask in the week you book rather than the week you move.
Load order in the lift
With a booked lift, sequence is everything. Big pieces first while the run is clear, boxes after, and tall wardrobes broken down to clear the lift door. Two haulers cover most apartments, three where the corridor is long.
| Access point | What it means on the day |
|---|---|
| Basement carpark | Possible only where the posted height allows it. |
| Street level | The fallback, with a longer carry to the lift. |
| Service lift | A held window, so the load order is planned. |
| Fire stairs | Small items only, if the lift is out. |
How a Hurstville price works
Volume sets the truck. The building sets the rest, from the clearance bar to the lift window, and all of it is priced at the quote.
| Factor | Effect on the price |
|---|---|
| Rooms and volume | Sets the truck and base crew, studio to six bedrooms. |
| Basement clearance | Decides the vehicle, and where it can stand. |
| Floor and corridor | A long run from the lift adds time. |
| Length of lift window | A tight booking needs an extra hauler. |
| Awkward pieces | Dismantling, or anything over 150kg or 3m. |
| Included | Detail |
|---|---|
| Dedicated truck | Your move only, never a shared run. |
| Driver plus offsiders | Crew sized from the floor and the lift. |
| Lift runs and carry | Both already inside the fixed price. |
| Dismantle and reassemble | For the pieces you flag when booking. |
Ask your building manager
- The height limit posted at the basement entry
- Whether the move needs written approval, and by when
- How long the service lift can be held for
Cheaper if you can: take a midweek lift window, and have the approval signed off in advance.
Photos help: one of the clearance sign and one of the lift door. See how much removalists cost.

Hurstville removals FAQs
Will your truck fit in our basement carpark?
Only if the posted clearance allows it, and we check that at the quote rather than at the boom gate. Where the bar is too low, we load at street level instead.
Does building management need to approve the move first?
In most Hurstville towers, yes. Management or the owners corporation will want notice and an agreed date before a lift can be held. Ask early, because that approval is the slow part.
How long should I hold the service lift for?
Longer than you expect to need. Tell us the window you are given and we order the load around it, heavy pieces first, so the tight part of the day finishes early.
What if the lift is out of service on the day?
We carry what can reasonably travel by stair and agree the rest with you on the spot. Giving us the floor number at the quote makes that call quick.
Is Hurstville covered, and what can you not move?
Hurstville is served today, in our St George and Bayside coverage alongside Rockdale, Kogarah and Brighton-Le-Sands. We do not move pianos, pool tables or safes, and offer no packing or storage.
