Why book Quick & Easy on the Beaches

Hourly or fixed price. Choose an hourly rate, or ask for a fixed price once we know your inventory and access.
The right truck, one trip. We size the truck to your inventory, so even a large Belrose home goes in a single trip.
Access sorted early. Parts of the Beaches have steep driveways and long stairs, so we raise any extra cost before moving day, not on it.
More than 20 years, AFRA accredited. We are fully insured, and you can also add extra cover for your goods.
Everything in one booking. We also handle packing and unpacking, secure storage and upright and grand pianos. Brookvale and Dee Why businesses can book office removals after hours, overnight or on a Sunday.

How much do removalists cost in the Northern Beaches?

Our Northern Beaches removalists charge local moves by the hour, so home size sets most of the cost. For example, a 2 bedroom Dee Why apartment usually takes 3 to 5 hours. The hourly rate covers the crew, a fully equipped truck, blankets, straps and insurance. These estimates come from our moving size guide for local moves within Sydney:

Home size	Typical time	Estimated cost
1 bedroom apartment	2 to 3 hours	About $350 to $525
2 bedroom apartment	3 to 5 hours	About $490 to $825
3 bedroom house	5 to 7 hours	About $825 to $1,125
4 bedroom house	6 to 8 hours	About $975 to $1,400
5 bedroom house or larger	8 hours or more	From about $1,280

These figures are estimates only, not a quote. A Beaches move can land at the top of its range for two local reasons. First, steep blocks, long stairs and strata lifts add carrying time. Second, the call out covers travel time from our Greenacre depot, a long drive from the peninsula. However, you can ask for a fixed price once we know your inventory and access. Mid day starts of 11:00 to 14:00 or 12:00 to 15:00 also come at a reduced rate.

Which truck suits your Beaches home?

The Beaches are not one kind of move. In the 2021 Census, 76.8% of homes in Manly were flats or apartments. In Avalon Beach, by contrast, 81.2% were separate houses and 47.4% had four or more bedrooms. That is why we choose the truck from your inventory, not your postcode.

Your home	Truck	Capacity
Studio or 1 bedroom unit in Manly, Fairlight or Dee Why	4 to 5 tonne truck	About 20 to 25m³
2 bedroom apartment or townhouse in Collaroy, Narrabeen or Brookvale	6 to 8 tonne truck	About 27 to 30m³
3 to 4 bedroom house in Frenchs Forest, Cromer or Narraweena	8 to 9 tonne or 10 to 12 tonne truck	About 35 to 45m³
5 to 6 bedroom home in Belrose, Newport or Avalon	55 to 60m³ or 65 to 70m³ truck	55 to 70m³

Local moving tips for the Northern Beaches

Council approval for larger trucks

Northern Beaches Council’s Stand Plant Application applies when a vehicle over 4.5 tonnes or 7.5 metres long stands on Council land. That includes roads, footpaths and grass verges, and loading or unloading counts. Council needs at least 2 working days to process it. So if your street is tight or on a main road, check early and tell us when you book.

Strata lifts in Manly and Dee Why

Many Beaches units sit in strata buildings. The NSW model by-law on moving furniture asks you to give the strata committee enough notice to have someone present. So contact your building manager a week or two ahead. Then ask whether the lift needs booking or padding, and where the truck can stand.

Steep blocks and long driveways

Parts of the Beaches sit on steep, winding streets, and some homes are well above or below the road. That never stops a move, but it does add time. When you ask for a quote, describe the steps, the slope and the distance from the kerb to your door.

Stopping on the street

The NSW Road Rules let a heavy vehicle stop in a built up area for over an hour while loading goods. However, signs, clearways and driveways still apply, so check the kerb outside both homes. For the full timeline, read our moving house checklist for NSW.

Removalists Northern Beaches FAQs

Do I need a council permit for the removal truck?

You need Northern Beaches Council’s stand plant approval when a vehicle over 4.5 tonnes or 7.5 metres long stands on Council land, including the road and verge. Council needs at least 2 working days, so apply early and tell us when you book.

How do I book the lift in a Manly apartment building?

Contact your building manager or strata committee a week or two before moving day. The NSW model by-law asks for enough notice for someone to be present, and many buildings also want the lift padded.

How much does it cost to move a 3 bedroom house on the Beaches?

Our size guide estimates about $825 to $1,125 over 5 to 7 hours. That is an estimate only, not a quote, because stairs, parking and travel time can change it.

Do you charge by the hour or a fixed price?

Both. We charge local moves by the hour, and a move that runs long continues at the same agreed rate. Alternatively, we quote a fixed price once we know your inventory, access and move details.

Can you store my furniture between homes?

Yes. We deliver a storage module to your address, our crew packs it, and it stays at our secure facility until you are ready. Modules start at 10 cubic metres, and larger loads go into the warehouse.

Can you move me this week?

Often, yes, depending on the date. Call 1300 883 117 and ask, because weekdays usually have more availability than weekends.
