Two suburbs sharing one postcode.
Lane Cove is family homes on leafy bush blocks with long carries from the street, and newer apartment buildings around the village where the lift window decides the day. We quote the two quite differently, because they are not the same job.
Moving in Lane Cove.
- Two kinds of job
- Established houses on sloping bush blocks with steps down to the door, and apartment buildings near the village with booked service lifts and set move-in windows.
- Who arranges what
- You book the lift and any dock window with building management — they will only take it from the resident or owner. Tell us the window you are given and we plan the crew around it. We provide the certificate of currency.
- Typical job
- Three and four-bedroom houses, and one to three-bedroom apartments. Half-day to full-day work depending on which.
- The bush block problem
- Many Lane Cove houses sit below the street behind established gardens, so the carry is long and stepped even where the house itself is modest.
- Parking
- Epping Road and Longueville Road are heavy through the middle of the day. Early starts are worth the alarm clock.
- Storage
- Available where settlement or lease dates do not line up, quoted before we begin.
The garden path is longer than it looks.
A Lane Cove house on a bush block often has thirty or forty metres of stepped garden path between the front door and anywhere a truck can legally stop. On paper it is a three-bedroom move. In practice it carries like a much larger one.
We walk that path when we quote and put the real number in the figure. It is the single most common reason an hourly estimate given over the phone for a Lane Cove address turns out to be wrong.

- 06 Storage where dates do not align
01 Do you handle the lift booking for my building?
No — buildings will only take that from the resident or owner, so the booking has to come from you. We provide the certificate of currency they ask for and build the day around whichever window you are given.
02 Our house is well below the street. How is that priced?
By the carry it actually creates, which we measure when we quote. It is in the figure before you book rather than appearing as extra hours afterwards.
03 Can you do a weekday move?
Yes, and midweek is genuinely easier around the village — lift windows are simpler to secure and the traffic is more forgiving.
04 Do you cover Lane Cove North and Artarmon?
Yes, along with Riverview, Longueville and the surrounding area.
