A modern truck for every move size

Front Door, Rear Lane or Both

The quickest way into a Newtown terrace is not always the front door. The side streets off King Street are narrow, parking is tight and many terraces open onto a rear lane, so we compare both routes before deciding which entrance works better. A local move here runs on the clock at $65 plus GST per half hour for the 4.5 tonne truck, which is why the route to the door deserves as much thought as the load.

Show us where the lane meets your property and what separates our truck from the door; a rear lane can shorten the walk without widening the doorway. We ask about the delivery end first, then arrange the furniture in the truck for the tighter route.

Packing and storage around a Newtown move

Trucks, Boxes and Storage

Our trucks hold 20–25 m³ at 4.5 tonnes, 30–40 m³ at 10 tonnes and 50–60 m³ at 12 tonnes; we match your list to the space, then check the vehicle can make the turns near your place. Our packing services cover boxes and wrapping, and on local moves we supply boxes for a $5 deposit each, with $4 back per box returned within 21 days. If your dates leave a gap, we place removals storage between collection and delivery.

How long will your move take?

Local moves are charged in half-hour blocks, so the time depends on your home size and the access at both ends. Pick your home size for a rough guide.

Newtown moving questions, answered

Can you use rear-lane access for a Newtown terrace?

Yes, as long as our truck and crew have a workable route. Show us both entrances and we will compare them with you.

What usually adds time to Newtown removals?

Stairs, distant parking and tight turns. Under our terms the first two flights of stairs are free and each flight after that is $50, so an exact stair count at both addresses keeps the quote honest.

What should I tell you about my Newtown terrace?

The doors, stairs, rear gate and anything that may need dismantling. If a wardrobe or sofa looks doubtful, a quick measurement against the narrowest doorway settles it before the day.

How do you choose a truck for a Newtown side street?

We size the truck from your furniture list, then make sure it can actually turn into the street; when it cannot, we plan the carry from the nearest workable spot instead.

Can you pack only part of my Newtown home?

Yes. Tell us which rooms you want boxed and our packers do those before moving day, leaving the rest to you.

Can you store a Newtown load between properties?

Yes. We collect on the first date, hold the load in storage we arrange, and deliver when the second property is ready.

What should I arrange for a Newtown apartment lift?

Ask your building when you can use the lift and loading area, then share the times and walking distance with us and we build the day around them.

Ready for a detailed quote?

Send us your moving details and we’ll come back with a detailed quote, usually the same day.
