Removalists in Collaroy

Most locals live on the Northern Beaches not because they enjoy contributing to NAB and Westpac’s profits with huge mortgage repayments but because, you guessed it, they like the beach. Well, Collaroy residents have the second longest beach in the whole of Sydney to spend the weekend on. It runs north for 3.6 kilometres from the man-made ocean rock pool just to the south of Collaroy Surf Lifesaving Club right up to North Narrabeen, known colloquially by surfing locals as “Northy”.

The Origins of Collaroy and the Enduring Legacy of the SS Collaroy

In fact, before the SS Collaroy ran aground in 1881 due to poor visibility there was no Collaroy; the whole area, where approximately 8,000 people now call home, was considered part of Narrabeen. The anchor from the paddle steamer, which took its name from a sheep station in the Hunter Valley, is proudly displayed in the front grounds of Narrabeen Public School & can be seen by thousands of commuters travelling daily along Pittwater Road.

Apartment Moves and the Unique Terrain of Collaroy

Unless we include Collaroy Plateau, which is predominantly house dominated, most of our moving jobs in Collaroy are apartment moves. The smaller trucks from our fleet are a familiar sight in the streets that intersect Pittwater Road; Stuart Street, Fielding, Ramsay & Fraser Streets are full of unit blocks and parking is at an absolute premium, completely unsuitable for our larger 11 & 12 tonne Isuzu trucks.

Factors Influencing Moving Expenses in Collaroy

Local moving on Sydney’s Northern Beaches is all about the time it takes to get things done. So, when someone asks how much does it cost to move, unfortunately, there is no straight answer, even a small 1 bedroom unit move in Collaroy can vary tremendously. For example, if a client is well packed up, organised & ready to be moved and the access is favourable our experienced removal men will be able to get a lot of stuff moved in a short space of time. However, if the client has a lot of small things, say, a variety of different size boxes and bags (moving company’s call these “single carries”) and the access involves a long walk with stairs or a lift, the time it takes to load can double or even triple.

Flexible Moving Solutions: Hourly Rates, Tailored Services, and Budget-Friendly Options in Collaroy

For this very reason, we do not offer a fixed price for local moving, all of our work is on the hourly rate. If working with a smaller budget we can concentrate on moving just larger items and the cost of moving home will reduce considerably. Need help packing & dismantling furniture, we will be there with boxes and tools. You simply tell us what you want done and we will accommodate.

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

Moved a few things to a different suburb within Sydney and was competitively priced, got the job done within the 2hrs, skilled friendly and professional service. From Felix in particular! Booking process was easy too. Recommend these guys.

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.
