The gate is a long way from the door.
Turramurra blocks are deep and the houses sit well back on them. A carry of forty or fifty metres through a garden, often stepped, is entirely normal here — and it is the thing that decides how long the day takes.
Moving in Turramurra.
- The main constraint
- Carry distance. Deep bush blocks put a long, frequently stepped garden path between the front door and the nearest place a truck can stop.
- How we handle it
- We measure the approach when we quote and add crew so the distance is shared rather than allowed to become hours. It is priced into the figure.
- Typical job
- Four to six-bedroom family homes with substantial furniture, a full garage and often a shed. A full day at minimum.
- Downsizing
- A large share of Turramurra work is families leaving a home of thirty or forty years. We quote the move and the disposal separately so the decisions can be made with real numbers.
- Parking
- Street parking is generally available; the question is the distance from it to the door rather than whether the truck can stop.
- On-site quotes
- Free, and strongly recommended. The carry and the garage are what a phone estimate always misses here.
Forty metres, both ways, all day.
A long garden approach does not sound like much until you multiply it by every item in a five-bedroom house and then double it for the return trip. It is routinely the largest single cost in a Turramurra move.
We measure it rather than guess at it, and put an extra pair of hands on the job so it still finishes in a day. Both decisions are made before you book, not on the morning.
- 01 Garden approach measured before quoting
- 02 Extra crew so a long carry is shared
- 03 Garages, sheds and roof storage counted in
- 04 Downsizing and disposal quoted separately
- 05 Furniture dismantled and reassembled
- 06 Storage where settlement dates do not align
01 Our house is fifty metres from the street. Does that matter?
It is the biggest single factor in the day. We measure it when we quote and add crew so it does not turn into hours, and it is in the figure before you book.
02 We are downsizing and not taking everything.
Very common here. We quote the move and the removal of what is not going separately, so you can make the decisions with real figures in front of you.
03 Can you get everything in one truck?
Usually, provided we have seen the garage and the shed. That is the volume that turns a one-truck job into a two-trip one.
04 Do you cover Wahroonga and South Turramurra?
Yes, along with Pymble, St Ives and the rest of the Upper North Shore.
