Beautiful hallways. Narrow ones.
Roseville is Federation and interwar houses with leadlight, picture rails and hallways that were designed before anyone owned a four-seat modular. The house is lovely. Getting a modern lounge through it takes planning.
Moving in Roseville.
- The main constraint
- Internal width. Federation hallways, doorways and staircase turns in Roseville are narrower than modern equivalents, and large contemporary furniture frequently will not pass without dismantling.
- How we handle it
- We measure the hallway, the doorway and the turn against the pieces before the day, and tell you what needs to come apart or leave another way.
- Typical job
- Three and four-bedroom houses with a mix of inherited and modern furniture. Usually a full day.
- Original joinery
- Leadlight, picture rails, skirting and original floors damage easily and repair expensively. Door frames are padded and floors are covered before anything moves.
- Parking
- Streets are leafy and generally accommodating, but many houses sit behind deep front gardens so the carry is longer than the street suggests.
- On-site quotes
- Free, and worth having wherever large modern furniture has to travel a Federation hallway.
The sofa did not come in through that door.
A recurring Roseville conversation: the modular lounge went in before the hallway was reconfigured, or it went in through a window, or it was assembled in the room. Ten years later nobody remembers which.
We measure the piece and the route before the day and give you the answer while there is still time to plan. It is a far better conversation to have in advance than with a lounge wedged at the turn.
- 01 Hallways, doorways and turns measured beforehand
- 02 Door frames padded and floors covered as standard
- 03 Dismantling and reassembly of standard furniture
- 04 Long front-garden carries costed into the figure
- 05 Leadlight and original joinery protected
- 06 Storage where settlement dates do not align
01 Will my modular lounge fit through the hallway?
Send the dimensions and a photograph of the hallway turn and we will tell you before the day. If it will not, we work out whether it dismantles or needs another route.
02 How do you protect original floors and joinery?
Runners along the carry route, padding on door frames and protection at thresholds, laid before the first item moves. It is standard rather than an extra.
03 Our house is well back from the street.
Then the carry is measured when we quote and built into the figure. It is the most common reason a Roseville job takes longer than the bedroom count suggests.
04 Do you cover Lindfield and Castle Cove?
Yes, along with Roseville Chase, Chatswood and the surrounding Upper North Shore.
