A house move has more variables than an apartment move: more rooms, more furniture, garages and sheds full of things nobody has looked at in years, and usually a settlement or lease date that can’t move. This is how we plan it so it finishes in one day.

Getting the truck size right for a house move

This is the single decision that most affects your final bill. Too small means two trips and double the hours.

What people forget to count before a house move

Nine times out of ten, when a house move runs over, it’s one of these:

How settlement day works for a house move

If you’re settling and moving on the same day, keys often don’t come through until early afternoon. We start loading in the morning, hold the load on the truck, and unload as soon as you have keys. Tell us the settlement time when you book so we can build the day around it.

What’s included in a Sydney house removal

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to move a 3 bedroom house?

Typically 5 to 8 hours with good access, using two or three removalists and a 6.5 or 10-tonne truck. Stairs, long carries and unpacked items add hours.

How much does it cost to move a house in Sydney?

A 3 bedroom house typically runs $850 to $1,800 on a weekday, based on hours worked at $169 to $229 per hour depending on crew and truck.

Do you disconnect washing machines and fridges?

We disconnect standard hoses and secure appliances for transit. Hardwired appliances and plumbed-in dishwashers need a licensed trade.

Can you move on settlement day?

Yes, and it’s common. Tell us the expected settlement time when booking so we plan the loading and unloading around it.

What about the garage and shed?

Include them in your inventory when you request a quote — they’re the most common cause of a move running longer than estimated.
