Removalist Inner West

The cost of an Inner West move depends on the volume of furniture, travel distance, property access, number of removalists required and how well everything is prepared before the team arrives.

Man and His Van’s hourly rates include two professional removalists, a moving truck, the required moving equipment and statutory insurances. Minimum booking periods and base-to-base charges apply. For current pricing, inclusions and minimum booking times, please refer to the pricing section above or request a tailored moving quote.

We provide removalist services throughout Sydney’s Inner West, including Balmain, Rozelle, Annandale, Leichhardt, Five Dock, Drummoyne, Marrickville, Newtown, Glebe, Petersham, Dulwich Hill, Summer Hill, Ashfield, Burwood, Strathfield and surrounding suburbs.

We can help whether you are moving within the Inner West, relocating to another part of Sydney or planning an interstate move.

Yes. Narrow streets, limited kerb space and difficult truck access are common around suburbs such as Newtown, Glebe, Balmain and Annandale. Man and His Van has smaller trucks within its fleet that are particularly useful for these conditions.

For larger moves, several smaller trucks may be more practical than one large furniture van. This can make parking easier and reduce the distance your furniture needs to be carried.

It is important to identify a safe and legal place for the truck as close as possible to your property. Longer walking distances can increase loading time and the overall cost of an hourly move.

Parking conditions and permit requirements vary across Inner West streets and council areas. Before moving day, check the signs outside both properties and ask the relevant council whether a temporary parking permit or other arrangement is required. Please tell our team about any parking restrictions when requesting your quote.

Yes. Our team regularly handles terrace-house moves involving narrow hallways, tight staircases, small front entrances and limited street access. Planning is especially important when large items cannot fit through the property’s usual access points.

Let us know about narrow stairs, sharp turns, balconies and unusually large furniture before moving day. Photos or measurements can help our team assess the access and recommend the safest approach.

Balcony lifts may be possible when furniture cannot safely pass through a terrace entrance or narrow staircase. However, every lift must be assessed carefully and can only proceed when the access, balcony structure, railings and surrounding conditions are suitable.

Please discuss the item and property with our team before booking. Providing clear photographs and measurements will help determine whether a balcony lift or another moving method should be considered.

Yes. We move customers into and out of apartments throughout the Inner West. Apartment moves may require advance coordination with building management, particularly where loading docks, service lifts or designated moving times apply.

Before booking, confirm the building’s moving rules, lift dimensions, access hours and loading arrangements. Sharing these details with us early helps the move run efficiently and reduces the risk of delays.

Yes. Man and His Van offers a professional packing service for customers who would like help preparing their belongings. Depending on your requirements, our team can assist with household packing, fragile items and preparing furniture for transport.

We also supply moving boxes and packing materials if you prefer to complete the packing yourself.

Finish packing before the removalists arrive, label boxes by room, dismantle agreed furniture, keep hallways clear and reserve suitable parking where permitted. Apartment residents should also book the lift or loading area in advance.

Tell us about stairs, parking restrictions, long access paths, oversized furniture and fragile items when requesting your quote. Good access information allows us to recommend the appropriate team, truck and equipment.

Booking as early as possible gives you a better choice of moving dates, particularly for Fridays, Saturdays, month-end periods and other popular dates. Once your moving date is reasonably certain, contact our team to discuss availability.

If your move is urgent, it is still worth contacting us. Availability can change, and our team can advise whether your preferred date can be accommodated.

Man and His Van is accredited by the Australian Furniture Removers Association (AFRA), and the hourly service includes applicable statutory insurances. Our removalists have also undertaken the required police checks.

You can learn more about available protection and important conditions on our removalist insurance page.

Yes. Storage can be useful if there is a gap between settlement dates, your new property is not ready or you want to declutter before selling. Eligible Man and His Van moving customers may receive one month of free storage, subject to the applicable offer conditions.
