Removalist Inner West

Man and His Van understand the Inner West of Sydney. So much so we have smaller trucks in our fleet purposely designed for the narrow streets of Newtown and Glebe. Moving a large home in the wide open spaces of say Wahroonga is often easy compared to the larger inner west moves where truck parking can be rather tricky.

As most people moving in the Inner West stay in the Inner West, the solution is usually simple.

For those larger Inner West Sydney moves we arrive in several smaller trucks rather than one large furniture van. Parking is so much easier and we can usually get much nearer to the front door.

This knowledge of the inner west has been gained from over 25 years of local removals. We understand the specific challenges associated with the inner west, such as narrow stair cases in the terrace houses and the necessity of balcony lifts in the area. We are most experienced in balcony lifts but needless to say, health and safety is of vital importance to the balcony rails do need to be solid.

The Man and his Van trucks are regularly seen in the area moving local residents or delivering antiques and fine arts to the Auction houses or moving equipment for different departments of Sydney University. We once moved a completed self storage warehouse in Trafalgar Street Annandale when the land was sold for re-development.

So yes, we know the Inner West of Sydney.

My moving house experience this week went very smoothly because of Dan, Bob, Scott & Fabio from Man and His Van. The genuine care & understanding was paramount & as I was a bit behind on the day, they were reassuring & extremely helpful. I was confident & so grateful that I chose Man and His Van. Thank You!

We decided to move on Xmas eve and Dan booked us in for early January without a problem. Scott, Harry, Ramiro & Gabe were fast, helpful and courteous - really helped us lighten the load. We’ve used them before and will use them again!

These guys are the best!! They moved a house we had been in for 30+ years to a place with steep driveway and stairs with heaps of boxes and very large pieces of furniture. All done with smiles and complete care. We also had a couple of smaller moves and will require another small move of a lounge soon. They are members of the furniture removalists association which was important to us. They were great with their communication. Their location is easy to access and plenty of parking. You can get your boxes, tape, bubble wrap etc there and you will be greeted warmly no matter how often you go there plus you may get to meet the lovely 4 legged mascot Joey 😍. Oh and you get $ back on returned boxes, provided they were bought new. This doesn't apply to boxes bought 2nd hand and fair enough. These guys don't pressure you, as others did. They also don't ask for reviews, I had to ask them which is something I like. I can see why they have been around for so long. The guys who did our actual move were amazing. The planning was great, their communication with me and between each other was 100%. They were fit and strong, my god they were fit. They had little laughs with each other which put me at ease cause it showed they were a team and knew what they were doing, all 4 of them. I really really recommend Man and his van for your removals and thanks to you all for making this stressful time so much less so. See you next year, just for one small lounge phew.

Dan and his team really care. I had to ring around to find an emergency removalist on a Friday afternoon late. Everyone rejected me. Everyone. I tried 30 x removalists. Dan didn’t. He was the only one. He took the time to listen to me, to provide removalist options, but more so he would work Saturday from 7.30am to align with my deadline. The quality of their communications, good humour and attention to detail when moving and wrapping items was exemplary. Not only did they provide a large ish truck for my move, they had a back up additional truck parked in the street. As time grew tight, Dan himself and Zac added themselves to the team for a dedicated window of time to make sure that delivery was achieved. Nothing was too hard. They were first class. Prices were described in detail up front. Always in my control. You might go a long way to find a more dedicated team who genuinely focuses on delivery for the customer, as opposed to other movers who think their business is scheduling trucks. Top job Dan and team.

A top-class service in taking away our furniture as we ventured north to Brisbane, taking care of it for almost two years while we eventually found a house to buy and now helping ship it to us. Always very responsive, helpful and very well priced as well as giving advice not to store 'stuff' endlessly because you can't decide what to do with it. Highly recommended

I could not recommend the guys from Man and His Van highly enough. They were punctual, efficient, tidy, and empathetic to what was a very difficult move emotionally. Their service was over and above - even finding one box that was accidentally put into storage and delivering it back to me.

Scott and Simon provided a cool, calm and collected and sometimes humorous, removal for my move from Northern Beaches to Crntral Coast. I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends. They even balanced my refrigerator and connected my TV and washing machine. A great stressfree move. Well done boys.

MOVING IN SYDNEY’S INNER WEST

Frequently Asked Questions

From narrow terrace streets and limited parking to apartment access and balcony lifts, moving in Sydney’s Inner West requires careful planning. Here are answers to some of the questions our removalists are regularly asked.

How much does an Inner West removalist cost?

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.

Which Inner West suburbs do you service?

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.

Can your removalists manage narrow Inner West streets?

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.

Do I need to organise parking for the removalist truck?

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.

Can you move furniture from an Inner West terrace house?

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.

Can you perform balcony lifts for difficult furniture?

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.

Do you handle Inner West apartment moves?

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.

Can you pack my belongings before the move?

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.

How can I help make my Inner West move quicker?

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.

How far in advance should I book an Inner West removalist?

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.

Are your Inner West removalists insured and accredited?

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.

Do you offer storage if my new home is not ready?

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.

Visit our Sydney storage page or speak with our team to confirm availability and the right option for your move.
