Quick & Easy Removals is a team of removalists Five Dock households and businesses use for house moves, unit moves, packing, office relocations and interstate trips. Five Dock sits 10 kilometres west of the Sydney CBD in the City of Canada Bay, with Great North Road running through the middle and Parramatta Road along its southern edge. Our crews come from the Greenacre depot, and with AFRA accreditation, full insurance and more than 20 years behind us, every removalist Five Dock booking gets an experienced team. Read on for what the local housing means for your truck, how our packing and business services work, and how we price a Five Dock move.
House movers in Five Dock: what the Census shows
Five Dock has a broad mix of homes. The ABS 2021 Census QuickStats for Five Dock recorded 9,823 people and 3,833 occupied private dwellings:
| Dwelling or household measure | Five Dock | New South Wales |
|---|---|---|
| Separate house | 45.3% | 65.6% |
| Semi-detached, row or terrace house, townhouse | 15.1% | 11.7% |
| Flat or apartment | 36.8% | 21.7% |
| Two bedrooms | 36.4% | 22.7% |
| Three bedrooms | 36.4% | 34.7% |
| Owned outright | 31.4% | 31.5% |
| Rented | 36.7% | 32.6% |
The median age in Five Dock was 41, a little above the state’s 39, and almost a third of homes are owned outright. Put together, that describes a suburb of settled households: houses that can hold years of belongings, semis and townhouses, and a solid share of units. If your move is a downsize, the hard part is deciding what goes rather than lifting it. Our blog has a practical guide on how to downsize before a move.
Packing services in Five Dock
Packing takes longer than most people expect, especially in a home that has been lived in for a long time. Our packing and unpacking service is run by a dedicated packing team, and you choose the scope:
- One room. Often the kitchen, where glassware and dinner settings are wrapped in packing paper and bubble wrap.
- Breakables only. Crockery, crystal, porcelain and delicate glass go into the small crystal box, deliberately sized so a full one stays easy to carry.
- Whole house. Every room packed, with hanging clothes moved in port a robes and rehung in the wardrobe at the other end.
Each box is labelled by room as it is packed, and on delivery the removalists put it in the matching room. If you also book unpacking, the team wipes cupboard shelves first, sets up bathrooms with toiletries and towels, and arranges collection of the flattened boxes. Prefer to pack yourself? The Quick & Easy box shop sells the 104 litre tea chest for general household items, picture cartons for mirrors and canvases, and packing paper by the ream. Our guide to packing services in Sydney helps you decide which option fits.
Removalists Five Dock: choosing the right truck
Because Five Dock homes range from one bedroom units to four bedroom houses, there is no single standard truck. We size it to your inventory first so everything goes in one trip:
- Units and small two bedroom homes: our 4 to 5 tonne truck, a 20 to 25 cubic metre body made for apartments and smaller moves.
- Two and three bedroom homes, which make up almost three quarters of local dwellings: a 6 to 7 tonne truck, or an 8 to 9 tonne one for fuller homes.
- Four bedroom houses and larger: the 10 to 12 tonne truck or one of the cubic metre trucks, up to 65 to 70 cubic metres with two professional removalists for a six bedroom home.
As house removalists across the Inner West, we find access details matter as much as the bedroom count. Tell us about front steps, side access and how far the front door is from the kerb so the crew size and time are right.
Business removals and office removalists in Five Dock
The Five Dock shopping strip runs along Great North Road between Lyons Road and Queens Road, and businesses along it may not want to close for a weekday. Our office removals team can schedule the move for after hours, overnight or a Sunday, so trading is not interrupted. The crew takes apart and rebuilds office furniture, and packs and archives files.
For a business move, give us a floor plan or a list of workstations, filing, IT equipment and stock, plus any building access hours at both ends. The office moving calculator gives you a starting point online, and our office relocation guide for Sydney sets out the planning timeline. Businesses looking for office removalists elsewhere in the Inner West get the same service.
Interstate furniture removalists from Five Dock
Leaving Sydney altogether? Our interstate removalists depart on a set weekly schedule, and the sole use truck option keeps your household on a truck of its own from Five Dock to your new address. You can add packing before departure and storage at either end.
Insurance deserves attention on a long haul. The NSW Government’s guide to choosing a removalist recommends getting your own insurance for a move, and notes that an AFRA accredited removalist will hold public liability insurance and can provide transit insurance. Our removal insurance options include restricted cover, full cover and separate storage cover, valued at market or replacement value. Planning a move south? See Sydney to Melbourne removals.
Parking and access on Five Dock streets
City of Canada Bay works zone proposals go before its Local Transport Forum. Its September 2026 forum agenda, for example, recommended a 9 metre works zone in Concord West operating 7am to 5pm Monday to Saturday for 12 weeks. Zones like that serve building projects lasting weeks or months, not a single moving day, so plan the kerb space yourself:
- If you have a driveway, keep it clear for the truck or for the crew’s trolleys.
- If you live on Great North Road or near Parramatta Road, tell us, because busy main road frontages need a different plan.
- Five Dock is due to get a station on the Sydney Metro West line. If construction around it affects your street, mention it with your quote request.
- Warn neighbours of the date so cars can be shuffled to give the truck room.

How we price moving services in Five Dock
A local move is charged by the hour. That rate already covers the removalists, a truck equipped for the job, dollies, trolleys, blankets, straps, ropes, plastic mattress wrapping and insurance, and a move that runs long continues at the same agreed rate. A fixed price is also possible once we know the inventory, access and details. Big staircases, heavy specialty items like pianos and pool tables, a long carry or a lack of parking can add to a fixed price, and we tell you in advance. The call out covers travel time out to Five Dock. Booking a weekday tends to mean more choice of times and can cost less than a weekend, and there is also a reduced rate mid day start window of 11:00 to 14:00 or 12:00 to 15:00. More detail is in our Sydney removalist cost guide.
