It is a long way up the peninsula.
Avalon is a genuine distance from the rest of Sydney, and Barrenjoey Road is the only way in. The houses sit on steep bush blocks with long stepped approaches. Both facts have to be in the quote or it will not hold.
Moving in Avalon Beach.
- The main constraint
- Distance combined with access. Avalon is well up the peninsula, and the homes are typically on sloping bush blocks with long stepped paths from the street.
- How we handle it
- We plan the run around Barrenjoey Road traffic, usually with an early start, and measure the property approach when we quote so both are priced honestly.
- Typical job
- Three to five bedroom houses, frequently with outdoor furniture, boards and beach equipment. Usually a full day.
- Travel time
- We are direct about it. A move to or from Avalon carries real travel time and it belongs in the quote rather than appearing afterwards as a surprise.
- Weekend traffic
- Barrenjoey Road is heavy on fine weekends. A weekday move here is materially easier and we will say so if your dates allow.
- On-site quotes
- Free, and worth having for any bush-block address with a stepped approach.
Barrenjoey Road is the whole schedule.
There is one road in and out, and on a fine Saturday it does not move. A crew that leaves the depot at the usual hour arrives at Avalon well into the morning with most of the useful day gone.
So we start early on peninsula jobs, and where your dates allow we will suggest a weekday instead. It is a small piece of planning that regularly saves an hour or two of paid time.
- 01 Early starts as standard on peninsula jobs
- 02 Weekday alternatives suggested where dates allow
- 03 Travel time quoted honestly and up front
- 04 Stepped bush-block approaches measured beforehand
- 05 Boards, outdoor gear and sheds counted in
- 06 Free on-site assessment before quoting
01 Is there a surcharge for coming this far up the peninsula?
There is real travel time and we put it in the quote openly rather than adding it later. You see the whole figure before you book.
02 Would a weekday be better than a Saturday?
Materially, yes. Barrenjoey Road on a fine weekend can add well over an hour each way, and that is paid time on an hourly job.
03 Our driveway is steep and the house is below it.
Common here. We check the gradient and count the steps when we quote, and bring a truck that can actually get in.
04 Do you cover Newport, Bilgola and Whale Beach?
Yes, along with Clareville and the rest of the northern peninsula.
