Removalists Cremorne

Quick & Easy Removals are removalists Cremorne households book for apartments, townhouses and houses, on either side of Military Road and down on Cremorne Point. Most local moves start in a strata building, but Cremorne also has period houses and townhouses that need a different plan. Here we explain what the Census says about Cremorne homes, the strata notice rule, how kerb space works on North Sydney Council streets, which truck suits which home, and how a quote is put together.

Our team has been moving Sydney households for more than 20 years. We operate from a depot in Greenacre, we are fully insured, and we are AFRA accredited. The AFRA website describes the association as Australia’s peak body for the removals industry, and the NSW Government suggests checking a removalist’s accreditation with it before you book.

Cremorne or Cremorne Point: one move, two suburbs

Cremorne is a lower North Shore suburb within North Sydney Council, roughly 6 kilometres north-east of the city centre, sitting between Neutral Bay and Mosman. Military Road links it west to Neutral Bay and the Harbour Bridge and east to Mosman. Directly to the south is the small residential suburb of Cremorne Point, which has its own page: see our removalists Cremorne Point guide for moves on the point itself.

People often search for both, and the homes are similar. The figures below come from the 2021 Census QuickStats for Cremorne and the Cremorne Point QuickStats.

Cremorne and Cremorne Point homes, 2021 Census (occupied private dwellings)

Measure	Cremorne	Cremorne Point	NSW
Flats or apartments	71.4%	79.9%	21.7%
Separate houses	17.1%	13.6%	65.6%
Semi-detached, terrace or townhouse	11.2%	6.2%	11.7%
Two bedrooms	43.5%	40.1%	22.7%
Three bedrooms	26.2%	30.0%	34.7%
Rented	44.9%	46.0%	32.6%

The Census counted 11,263 people in Cremorne and 2,270 on Cremorne Point. Roughly seven in ten Cremorne homes are apartments, and the typical one has two bedrooms. Yet more than a quarter have three bedrooms, and about one home in six is a separate house. The average Cremorne home has 2.4 bedrooms, against 3.1 across NSW. So while the classic Cremorne job is a two bedroom unit, a three bedroom apartment or a full house is common enough that we never assume the smallest truck.

Removalists Cremorne for apartments: the strata notice rule

With so many homes in strata, building rules usually set the timetable. Many NSW schemes use the government’s model by-laws, and model by-law 13 says an owner or occupier must not move furniture or large objects through common property until the strata committee has had enough notice to arrange for its nominee to be there. Your own scheme may have changed or added to that, so read your by-laws or ask the strata manager.

Questions worth asking your building, at both ends:

• How much notice does the committee or building manager want?
• Is the lift bookable, and can it take a fridge, a sofa and a queen mattress?
• Are moves restricted to certain days or hours?
• Where can the truck stand, and is there a back entrance closer to the lift?

If your building has no lift, a third floor walk up takes noticeably longer than a lift building. Tell us the floor and whether there is a lift, and we price it in from the start.

Cremorne townhouse removals and house removals

Cremorne is mostly residential, with a wide mix of architectural styles, and Federation styles are common. Houses and townhouses make up close to three in ten homes, and they are a different job from a unit. Expect more rooms, heavier timber furniture, outdoor pieces and, in a townhouse, internal stairs and a garage level.

For a house or townhouse quote, list the bedrooms and the bulky items, and describe the route from the street: front steps, a sloping path, a narrow side passage or a tight turn on the stairs. Anything that came in assembled and will not fit back out can be dismantled by the crew and rebuilt at the new address. Our house removals service explains the equipment on the truck.

Military Road, side streets and council permits

Military Road is the main road through the suburb, so if either address faces it, we plan where the truck can stop safely, often in a side street. North Sydney Council’s works zones are a construction tool rather than a moving day option: the Council describes them as zones where construction vehicles load and unload materials, and the initial permit runs for 16 weeks. For a single day, the closer fit is Council’s permit to occupy a road or footpath, which needs a minimum of 5 business days’ notice for standard applications.

Neither is needed when the truck can use a legal parking spot near the door. If your street is narrow or permanently full, check with Council early. Mention parking at both ends when you book, and if there is likely to be a long carry, we include it in the quote instead of raising it on the day.

Choosing the truck for a Cremorne home

We pick from seven published truck sizes using your inventory, so everything travels in a single load. For Cremorne homes, these are the usual starting points:

Cremorne truck guide

Cremorne home	Starting truck
One or two bedroom unit	4 to 5 tonne truck; its 20 to 25 cubic metre body suits inner city apartments and small moves
Three bedroom apartment or townhouse	Often a mid range truck like the 8 to 9 tonne, confirmed from your list
Large family house	Up to the 65 to 70 cubic metre truck, suited to a six bedroom home and crewed by two professional removalists

Furniture removalists for Cremorne and Cremorne Point

Good furniture deserves more than a quick wrap. Our crews blanket and strap every large item, shrink wrap mattresses at no charge, and take apart beds and tables when that keeps them safe on stairs. Our furniture removals Sydney page explains the method. Upright pianos stay with our own removals team rather than going to a subcontractor. For antiques and fine art we run a separate named service, so mention any heirloom pieces when you ask for a quote.

Packing, boxes, storage and cover

Our packing team can pack a whole apartment or just the kitchen and the breakables, wrapping glassware in packing paper and bubble wrap and hanging clothes in port a robes. The guide to packing services in Sydney explains how to scope it. Doing it yourself? The box shop has a general purpose tea chest of 104 litres and a picture carton sized for mirrors and glass table tops.

Between properties, modular storage keeps your goods in a module our crew packs at your door, held at a facility with constant surveillance and restricted access. Cover choices, including market value or replacement basis, are on our moving insurance page.

What affects the cost of a Cremorne removal

For local work we charge by the hour, plus a call out covering travel time from Greenacre, and if the job takes longer than estimated it carries on at the agreed hourly rate. The biggest variables in Cremorne are the floor level and lift, the walk from the truck, the volume of furniture, and heavy items. Choosing a weekday also helps, as weekdays usually have better availability. Read more on our local move pricing page and in our guide to the cost of removalists in Sydney.

Removalists Cremorne: questions we get asked

Do you also cover Cremorne Point?

Yes. Cremorne Point sits directly south of Cremorne and has its own page on our site. The homes are similar: about eight in ten are flats or apartments, so strata notice and lift bookings matter there too.

How much notice does my strata building need?

Enough for the strata committee to have someone present, under the NSW model by-law on moving furniture through common property. Your scheme may add its own rules, so ask your strata manager as early as you can.

Do you do townhouse removals in Cremorne?

Yes. Townhouses often have internal stairs and a garage level, so tell us about stair width and any bulky pieces. We usually start with a middle sized truck chosen from your inventory.

Can the truck use a works zone on my street?

Works zones in North Sydney are set up for construction and the initial permit runs for 16 weeks, so they rarely suit a move. Council’s road or footpath occupation permit needs at least 5 business days’ notice for standard applications.

Is a walk up apartment more expensive to move?

Stairs add time, and on a fixed price job large staircases or a long carry can add cost. We raise those before moving day, never on it.

Can you store our things between homes?

Yes. Our crew packs a storage module at your address, it is held at our secure facility, and it is delivered back to your new home when you are ready.
