Every room is up or down from another.
Pymble homes are frequently split over three or four half-levels on sloping bush blocks, with a steep driveway that a loaded truck cannot safely reverse up. The floor plan is what makes these jobs long, not the amount of furniture.
Moving in Pymble.
- The main constraint
- Internal levels combined with a steep driveway. Split-level Pymble homes mean short stair runs between almost every room, and the drive itself often rules out a full-size truck.
- How we handle it
- We assess the driveway gradient and the internal levels before quoting, then either bring a smaller truck or shuttle from the street. The carry is counted rather than estimated.
- Typical job
- Four and five-bedroom split-level homes with substantial furniture and a full garage. Usually a full day, sometimes two.
- Bush blocks
- Long stepped paths through established gardens are common, and they carry very differently from a flat approach of the same distance.
- Parking
- Generally available on the street, but the question is whether the truck can get onto the property at all rather than whether it can stop.
- On-site quotes
- Free, and effectively necessary for a split-level home on a sloping block.
Half a level, twenty times over.
A split-level house does not have one big staircase; it has six small ones. Individually none of them is difficult, and collectively they add hours to a job that on paper looks like a straightforward four-bedroom move.
That is the number a phone quote misses. We walk the floor plan, count the runs, and put a figure on the front of the job rather than an adjustment on the back of it.
- 01 Driveway gradient checked before the truck is assigned
- 02 Internal stair runs counted when quoting
- 03 Smaller trucks or shuttles where the drive demands it
- 04 Stepped garden paths measured beforehand
- 05 Garages and under-house storage counted in
- 06 Free on-site assessment before quoting
01 Can a truck get up our driveway?
Not always. Several Pymble drives are too steep for a loaded truck to leave safely. We establish that when we quote and plan a smaller vehicle or a shuttle from the street.
02 Does a split-level house cost more to move?
It takes longer, and we quote on time, so yes in practice. The important part is that it is in the figure before you book rather than added afterwards.
03 We have a lot in the garage and under the house.
Tell us and we count it. Under-house storage on a sloping block is the most commonly forgotten volume in Pymble.
04 Do you cover Turramurra and West Pymble?
Yes, along with Gordon, St Ives and the rest of the Upper North Shore.
