About
Surry Hills Removals, inner-city Sydney removalists who plan the kerb, the lane and the permit before move day.
Surry Hills Removals is a removalist service built specifically for the inner city: Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Redfern, Chippendale, Waterloo, Woolloomooloo, Haymarket, Zetland, Paddington and Moore Park. These are not easy streets to move on, and that is exactly the point of us.
Out here a move is decided at the kerb, not in the truck. The terraces have no driveways and no front setback, the internal stairs are steep and narrow, the back lanes are single-width and often one-way, and almost half the households own no car, so the streets were never built around parking a vehicle out the front. The lawful way to hold a loading spot is a City of Sydney visitor permit, which takes about five working days to organise, so a Surry Hills move that is not planned ahead is a Surry Hills move that runs late. We plan it ahead: the legal spot, the right-size truck for the lane, the building lift or dock where there is one, and the permit. That planning is the job.
What we do
We handle terrace and house moves, walk-up and apartment-tower moves, office and studio relocations, single heavy items up tight staircases, packing and unpacking, interstate runs and storage. Whether it is a marketplace lounge off Bourke Street or a full home out of a Green Square tower, we bring the crew, the right-size vehicle and the parking plan to do it carefully.
How we work
- The kerb first. We scout the legal loading spot, sort the visitor permit and right-size the truck to the street and the lane before move day.
- Built for tight access. Steep stairs, narrow hallways, single-width lanes and building lifts are our normal day, not a surprise.
- Honest quotes. Clear hourly pricing based on your actual move and access, with no invented minimums and no surprises on the day.
- Careful with your home. We protect floors, doorframes, banisters and the iron-lace fronts as a matter of course.
- Fully insured. Your belongings are covered while we are moving them.
Moves are carried out by our national removals partner and their vetted crews, fully insured. Ready to move? Get a no-obligation quote, or run the parking finder first to see your loading plan.
