Narrow frontages, tight laneways and a mix of cottages and new apartments. The inner west needs a plan before the truck arrives.
The classic inner-west house is a single-fronted workers' cottage: narrow, long, with a hallway that decides what fits and what does not. Add a bluestone laneway at the back that is technically access and practically a squeeze, and you have the reason we ask for photos of the side path when we quote. It is a two-minute question that saves an hour on the day.
Yarraville village and the streets around Seddon station are the tightest. Parked cars on both sides leave a single lane, and a truck sitting in it for three hours makes no friends. We would rather start at seven and be gone before the street wakes up than spend the morning apologising.
Then there is the newer apartment stock around Footscray station and along the river, which is the opposite problem - easy loading, but lift bookings and building rules. Different job, same principle: find out first.
Houses, units and apartments of any size. Packing and unpacking if you want it, boxes and blankets if you don't.
Desks, IT and fit-outs, scheduled around your trading hours so the business keeps running.
Machinery, tool chests and heavy gear moved with the right straps, ramps and trolleys.
Warehouse transfers and pallet runs for businesses, local or interstate.
Full pack, fragile-only, or just the materials delivered ahead of time.
Dump runs, old furniture and site clean-ups, disposed of responsibly.
Not on the list? We almost certainly still come to you — just ask.
A lot of our inner-west work is people moving outward as families grow - Footscray to Point Cook, Seddon to Werribee. We do both ends of that trip, which means one team, one truck, and no handover halfway.

Because the hallway of a single-fronted cottage decides what fits and what does not. It is a two-minute question when you book that saves an hour of improvising on the day.
Where the street needs it, yes. Around Yarraville village and Seddon station, parked cars on both sides leave a single lane, so we would rather start at seven and be gone before the street wakes up.
Yes, and we do it constantly - Footscray to Point Cook, Seddon to Werribee. Same team at both ends, so nothing is handed over halfway.
Yes. Easy loading compared with the cottages, but they come with lift bookings and building rules, which we sort out beforehand.
