Edgecliff is the denser, more vertical edge of the eastern harbour, built around the station and interchange on New South Head Road. The moves here are mostly apartment moves: high-rise towers and older walk-up blocks, where the day is decided by the building, not the street. Whether there is a lift, whether it can be booked, whether there is a loading bay or just a busy main road, and how the shared lobby and corridors are protected all matter more than the distance travelled. Contents are often a mix of downsizers bringing treasured pieces from a larger home and professionals with art and design furniture, so careful handling through a shared building entrance is the heart of an Edgecliff move.
Every Edgecliff move starts with the access and the contents, because together they decide the truck, the crew and the carry. Here is what we plan around:
- Predominantly apartments: high-rise towers and older walk-up blocks around the station
- The move turns on the lift, the loading bay and the building's booking and protection rules
- New South Head Road is busy, so a loading spot near the building is planned and timed
- Downsizers often bring valuable pieces from a larger home, so careful single-item handling is common
We know streets like New South Head Road, Darling Point Road, Albert Street and the access that comes with them. Send your pickup and drop-off addresses with your quote and we will tell you exactly how we would handle the carry, the parking and any flight of stairs.
What we most often carry in Edgecliff
The pieces that tend to decide a move here. Each one is handled white-glove, see exactly how:
Most of the catchment sits in the Woollahra Municipality, which does offer a formal Permit to Stand Plant (a temporary kerbside or road-occupation arrangement) that a removalist truck can use, with at least 48 hours notice; on a narrow street where the truck cannot keep a lane clear, a traffic management plan can be required and that takes longer to approve. Fees apply and change, so check the current amount with Woollahra Council directly rather than rely on a figure here. For many moves the realistic approach is simply legal parking plus careful timing, and we scout the loading position ahead of move day; where a permit genuinely helps, or a full-size truck cannot hold a spot, we plan it (and a smaller shuttle where needed) in advance.
My building has a lift and a loading bay. How do you use them?
We confirm whether the lift can be booked and whether there is a loading bay, and we protect the shared lobby and corridors as part of the job. A booked lift and a loading bay make for a smooth high-rise move when planned ahead with building management.
It is an older walk-up with no lift. Can you still move heavy items?
Yes. Without a lift the move is a careful stair carry, so we bring enough hands and stair gear for the weight and the flights. Tell us the block and how many floors and we will resource it so the day runs to time.
I am downsizing and bringing valuable pieces. How are they handled?
Single valuable and awkward pieces are our normal day: art on edge, antiques wrapped in the room, pianos on a skid board. We give a treasured piece the same care as a full move. The White-Glove planner shows the plan per item.
How much does an Edgecliff move cost?
Our online-quote rates start at $200/hour for two movers and a truck ($250 for three, $400 for a larger crew with two trucks), and you get a clear indicative quote up front for your specific move. Specialty pieces like a grand piano or fine art are quoted with the move once we know the piece and the access. No surprises on the day.
