Removalists Eastern Suburbs Sydney | Quick & Easy Removals

Quick & Easy Removals are removalists Eastern Suburbs residents use for apartment moves in Bondi and Randwick, terrace moves in Paddington and family homes around the harbour from Double Bay to Vaucluse. We plan each job around lifts, loading docks, steep driveways and tight parking, and the Eastern Suburbs are part of our everyday removalists Sydney service. With more than 20 years of moving Sydney homes behind us, we are AFRA accredited and fully insured.

Eastern Suburbs homes by the numbers

Most of the region sits in three council areas: Waverley, Woollahra and Randwick. The ABS 2021 Census QuickStats show how apartment heavy all three are compared with New South Wales, where 21.7 per cent of occupied homes are flats or apartments:

Council area (2021 Census)	Flats or apartments	Semi-detached, terrace or townhouse	Separate houses	Rented
Waverley	64.1%	18.1%	16.0%	49.0%
Woollahra	55.6%	21.0%	22.3%	36.8%
Randwick	55.5%	16.7%	26.8%	46.4%

Put simply, most Waverley homes are units and almost half are rented, while Woollahra has a higher share of terraces, houses and owner occupiers. Two bedrooms is the most common home size in Waverley at 41.4 per cent. Harbourside suburbs such as Potts Point and Elizabeth Bay sit in the City of Sydney, and we cover those too. For you, these numbers mean three things to plan for: building rules, kerbside parking and the carry from the truck to your door.

Removalists Eastern Suburbs: which truck suits your home

We size the truck to the job first, so everything goes in a single trip rather than repeat runs between Bondi Junction and your new address. The fleet runs in seven published sizes from 4 to 5 tonne to 65 to 70 cubic metres, and we confirm the size from your inventory when we quote.

Your home	Truck to start from	Notes
Studio or one bedroom apartment	4 to 5 tonne truck, 20 to 25 cubic metres	The size suited to an inner city apartment or a small move
Two or three bedroom apartment or terrace	6 to 7 tonne or 8 to 9 tonne	Matched to your inventory and the loading point at the quote
Family home with a full garage and garden furniture	10 to 12 tonne or 50 cubic metre	Matched to your inventory at the quote
Six bedroom home or a large office	65 to 70 cubic metre truck	Comes with two professional removalists

If your building has a loading dock with a height limit, or your street is too narrow for a large truck, tell us. The right truck is the one that fits where it needs to stand.

Apartment moves: lifts, loading docks and by-laws

With more than half the homes in each council area being flats or apartments, a large share of Eastern Suburbs moves run through lifts and corridors. The NSW Government’s guide to strata by-laws says by-laws are rules that all residents living in a strata scheme must follow, and tenants should receive them from their landlord or real estate agent.

Older blocks matter here. The by-laws for pre-1996 strata schemes say an owner or occupier must not transport furniture or a large object through or on common property unless the strata committee has first been given enough notice to arrange for its nominee to be present. Your building may also have its own registered by-laws or a building manager with a move policy. Either way, a week or two before the move:

Read your building’s by-laws or move policy, and book the lift and loading dock or visitor bay.
Ask whether lift protection, set moving hours or a bond apply.
Check both ends: the building you are leaving and the one you are moving into.
Tell us the floor, lift size, dock height and how far the truck stands from the lift.

On the day our crew brings dollies, trolleys, blankets, straps and ropes, and mattresses are shrink wrapped free when you book.

Parking a removal truck in the Eastern Suburbs

Waverley Council’s own guide notes shortages of available street parking in its area, and across the region the councils’ kerbside zones are built for building sites rather than house moves:

Waverley. The council’s guide to Construction Zones says applicants should allow up to six weeks for approval, and the minimum period is typically 13 weeks.
Woollahra. The Works Zone application form says Works Zones facilitate construction projects, the minimum duration is 4 weeks, and approval including signage can take 6 to 8 weeks.
Randwick. Council’s visitor and tradesperson parking permits cannot be issued to trucks, or to vehicles 7.5 metres long or longer, or 4.5 tonnes or heavier.

The road rules give some room. Under rule 200 of the NSW Road Rules 2014, a heavy or long vehicle must not stop in a built-up area for longer than 1 hour, unless signs permit it or the driver is dropping off or picking up goods throughout. That is why our truck arrives when the crew is ready to load and leaves when it is done. To give it a space:

Leave your own car outside overnight to hold the spot, then move it before we arrive.
Warn neighbours, especially in shared driveways and laneways.
Tell us about clearways, bus zones, No Stopping signs and timed or permit parking near both addresses.

Steep driveways, stairs and harbourside homes

If your home sits above or below the street, with long flights of stairs, a steep driveway or a garden path between the kerb and the front door, send photos with your quote request. On a fixed price job, large staircases, heavy or specialty items and access problems such as a long carry or no parking can add cost, and we raise them before moving day rather than on it.

Valuable contents deserve the right cover. The NSW Government’s advice on choosing a removalist notes that removalists are not required by law to provide insurance for your property during a move, and recommends you get your own. We are fully insured, and our removal insurance options include restricted cover, full cover that adds loss or damage during packing, loading and unloading, and separate storage cover, on a market value or replacement basis.

What affects the cost of removalists in the Eastern Suburbs

Local moves are charged at an hourly rate covering the removalists, a fully equipped truck, dollies, trolleys, blankets, straps and ropes, mattress wrapping and insurance. If a move runs past the estimate, it continues at the agreed hourly rate, not a penalty rate. Prefer a fixed price? We can quote one once the details are known. Travel time from our Greenacre depot is covered by a call out. When you compare removalists Eastern Suburbs quotes, access is the big variable: lifts, stairs, long carries and parking. Weekdays typically offer better availability and can be more cost effective than weekends, and mid day starts of 11:00 to 14:00 or 12:00 to 15:00 are offered at a reduced rate for Sydney moves. Our guide to removalist costs in Sydney explains each factor.

Same day removalists in the Eastern Suburbs

We will not promise a same day move on a web page, because it depends on whether a truck and crew are free that day. If you need to move at short notice, call 1300 883 117 and we will check availability. Have your inventory, both addresses and the access details ready, and confirm early that your building’s lift and dock can be booked in time. Our guide to last minute removalists in Sydney covers what helps when time is short.

Removalists Eastern Suburbs FAQs

Do you offer same day removalists in the Eastern Suburbs?

We do not promise same day moves, because it depends on whether a truck and crew are free. Call 1300 883 117 and we will check availability for you. Having your inventory, both addresses and your lift or parking details ready makes a short notice booking much easier.

Can you move me out of an apartment with a lift booking?

Yes. Book the lift and loading dock with your building or strata manager, check the by-laws for moving hours or a bond, and tell us the floor and lift size. We plan the truck size and arrival time around your booking.

Do I need a council permit for the removal truck?

Waverley construction zones typically run for at least 13 weeks and Woollahra works zones for at least 4 weeks, and both take weeks to approve, so they do not suit a single moving day. The practical step is to hold a space outside with your own car and tell us about any parking restrictions.

What size truck do I need for a two bedroom apartment in Bondi?

A smaller two bedroom apartment may suit our 4 to 5 tonne truck, which holds 20 to 25 cubic metres. A fuller home may need the 6 to 7 or 8 to 9 tonne truck. We confirm the size from your inventory and the loading point when we quote.

How is my furniture insured during the move?

We are fully insured, and you can add cover for your goods. Options include restricted cover, full cover that adds loss or damage during packing, loading and unloading, and separate storage cover. Additional insurance is not compulsory.

Can you store our furniture during a renovation?

Yes. Our modular storage starts at 10 cubic metres. The box is delivered to your home, packed by our crew, kept at our secure facility, then delivered back and unpacked when the work is finished.
