Removalists Marrickville

Quick & Easy Removals provides removalists Marrickville residents book for walk-up flats, terraces, townhouses and family homes in the largest suburb of the Inner West Council area. Marrickville sits about 7 kilometres south west of the Sydney CBD. Crews travel in from our Greenacre depot. AFRA accredited and fully insured, we bring more than 20 years of Sydney moving experience to every job through our wider removalists Sydney service. This page covers local housing, furniture removals, truck parking and how a removalist Marrickville quote is built.

Removalists Marrickville: what local homes mean for your move

The ABS 2021 Census QuickStats for Marrickville counted 26,570 residents living in 10,638 occupied private dwellings. Set against New South Wales as a whole, the suburb’s homes are denser, smaller and more often rented:

• 47.2 per cent of occupied homes are flats or apartments, more than double the NSW share of 21.7 per cent.
• 18.5 per cent are semi-detached, row or terrace houses or townhouses (NSW 11.7 per cent), while separate houses make up 32.0 per cent (NSW 65.6 per cent).
• Two bedroom homes are the biggest group at 41.5 per cent, against 22.7 per cent statewide. Only 14.3 per cent have four or more bedrooms.
• 46.6 per cent of households rent, compared with 32.6 per cent across the state.

For a removal crew that means a compact or mid size truck covers most Marrickville moves, access shapes the day more than volume does, and with almost half of households renting, many moves are tied to a lease end date, so book ahead.

Furniture removalists in Marrickville and across the Inner West

Older Inner West homes test furniture moves hard. Our furniture removals service handles anything from a one bedroom flat’s worth of pieces to a fully furnished family home.

Protecting furniture between rooms and truck

Mattress shrink wrapping is free once you book. Sofas, tables and cabinets are covered with blankets or shrink wrap, then strapped down so nothing shifts on the drive.

Bulky pieces and tight terraces

Bed frames, big wardrobes, desks and some dining tables may need to come apart to clear a narrow terrace hallway or a sharp stair turn. Measure your largest items against the doors, stairs and any lift at both addresses, then list them when you ask for a quote so the plan allows for them. Our blog explains how to get furniture through tight doorways if a piece looks borderline.

Pianos, antiques, screens and mirrors

Upright pianos travel with our standard removals team rather than a subcontracted piano specialist, so read about our piano removals before booking. Antiques and fine art are handled as a separate service line. For flat screens, our box shop stocks a TV box fitted with channelled styrene blocks, and its picture carton is made for pictures, mirrors and glass table tops.

Furniture removals for the whole Inner West

Which truck suits a Marrickville home

Picking the truck comes first, because the right size gets the whole load across in one trip instead of several runs. The fleet comes in seven published sizes, and the right one is confirmed from your inventory when we quote.

Marrickville home	Starting truck	Reason
Studio, one bedroom or two bedroom flat	4 to 5 tonne truck, 20 to 25 cubic metres	Sized for inner city apartments, which covers most local flats
Two or three bedroom terrace, semi or townhouse	6 to 7 tonne truck or 8 to 9 tonne	Picked from your inventory and the width of your street
Separate house with four or more bedrooms	10 to 12 tonne truck or larger	Room for a full family load in one run

Apartment moves and strata buildings in Marrickville

With close to half of Marrickville homes being flats, a lot of our work here starts or ends in a strata block. The NSW Government’s guide to strata by-laws notes that by-laws are rules all residents of a strata scheme must follow, and that they commonly cover matters such as parking. Before moving day:

• Read your building’s by-laws, or ask your agent for them if you rent.
• Book the lift, loading area or visitor bay with the strata or building manager.
• Let us know which floor you are on, if a lift is available, and the walking distance from the kerb to the entry.

In a walk-up block, a large staircase can add cost on a fixed price job, and we raise that when quoting.

Parking the removal truck on Marrickville streets

Marrickville Road, Enmore Road and Illawarra Road all carry public buses, so tell us if your home fronts one of them. A truck that can stop near your door saves a long carry, and a long carry adds time.

A formal kerb booking is rarely the answer. An Inner West Council work zone permit ties the parking to approved works on the neighbouring property, applications sent to the Local Traffic Committee may need as long as eight weeks, and Council wants a draft notification letter for nearby residents. That suits a renovation, not a moving day, so instead:

• Park your car out front the evening before and shift it once the truck pulls up.
• Give neighbours a heads up about the date and the rough arrival time.
• Tell us about bus stops, No Stopping signs, permit parking or a one way street.

Short notice and same day moves in the Inner West

We do not promise same day moves. If your date is close, call 1300 883 117 and we will tell you plainly what is possible. A weekday is usually easier to fit in than a weekend or peak date, and a mid day start (11:00 to 14:00 or 12:00 to 15:00) is charged at a reduced rate. Our guide to last minute removalists in Sydney covers how to prepare when time is tight.

How your Marrickville move works

1. Request a quote. Use the free removal quote form or the step by step calculator, which runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or phone us during office hours.
2. Phone call or survey. We confirm your inventory and access over the phone, or through a quick on site or virtual survey for a fixed price.
3. Booking. We lock in the date, start window, truck size and any packing, and flag anything that could add cost before the day.
4. Moving day. The crew wraps and loads your furniture, drives it across, and places each labelled box in its matching room.
5. Unpacking, if booked. Shelves get a wipe before anything goes in, the bathroom is stocked with your towels and toiletries, and empty cartons are flattened and booked for pickup.

Getting a removalist quote in Marrickville

Whichever moving company Marrickville residents compare, the quote should show what you are paying for. NSW Government guidance on choosing a removalist says the quote should be itemised, with every charge accounted for.

Our local removalists charge an hourly rate covering the crew, a fully equipped truck, dollies, trolleys, blankets, straps and ropes, mattress wrapping and insurance. If the job runs past the estimate, it continues at the agreed hourly rate, never a penalty rate. Prefer certainty? We can lock in a fixed figure after confirming what is moving and how the crew gets in and out. Under a fixed price, big staircases, pianos or pool tables, a long walk from the truck or nowhere to park can push the figure up, and you hear about it before moving day. Our guide to what removalists cost in Sydney goes deeper.

Packing, boxes, storage and cover

• Packing. Our dedicated packing team can do one room, only the breakables, or the whole home. See the packing and unpacking service.
• Boxes. The crew brings boxes, shrink wrap and other materials on the day, or you can order cartons early from our box shop, including the brightly coloured priority box for the things you need first.
• Storage. When lease dates do not line up, our modular storage box is delivered to you, packed by the crew, held at a secure facility and returned on your date. Boxes start from 10 cubic metres.
• Insurance. Extra removal insurance is optional, with restricted or full cover available.
• Businesses. Marrickville workplaces can book office removals outside trading hours, including overnight and Sundays.
• Leaving NSW. Our interstate removalists depart weekly, and you can choose a sole use truck.

Hazardous goods stay behind: no gas bottles, flammable liquids, batteries, jerry cans or anything that holds fuel.

Removalists Marrickville FAQs

Do you offer same day removals in Marrickville?

We do not promise same day removals. Availability depends on which trucks and crews are already booked, so call 1300 883 117 to check what we can do at short notice. Weekdays typically offer better availability than weekends.

How much do removalists in Marrickville charge?

Marrickville removals within Sydney are charged by the hour, and that rate covers the crew, a suitable truck, equipment, mattress wrapping and insurance. A fixed price is possible once inventory and access are confirmed. Stairs, heavy pieces, a long walk from the truck or no parking may raise it, and we flag that ahead of moving day.

Which truck fits a Marrickville two bedroom flat?

Most two bedroom flats start with our 4 to 5 tonne truck, with 20 to 25 cubic metres of space. A fuller home or a well furnished terrace may need a 6 to 7 tonne or 8 to 9 tonne truck, settled from your inventory.

Do I need a council permit to park the truck in Marrickville?

Usually not. Council work zones are linked to approved works on the property next door and may need as long as eight weeks for approval. For a Marrickville move, keep a space free with your own car and let us know about bus stops or No Stopping signs.

Are your furniture removalists available across the whole Inner West?

Yes. Our Inner West coverage runs well beyond Marrickville, including Newtown, Balmain, Leichhardt, Ashfield, Burwood and Strathfield, with the same trucks, equipment and crews.

Can you pack my Marrickville flat and supply the boxes?

Yes. We can box up a single room, just the breakables or the entire flat, with every carton labelled by room. Boxes, shrink wrap and packing materials also come with the crew on moving day.

Do you move pianos in Marrickville?

Yes. Our own removals crew moves upright pianos, with no subcontractor involved. Mention the piano when you quote, because heavy items can add cost on a fixed price job.
