Moving in Surry Hills: what to plan
Nearly every home in Surry Hills is joined to another. In the 2021 Census, 68.5% were flats or apartments and 29.1% were terraces, semis or townhouses (ABS). Two things are worth sorting before moving day.
Where the truck stops. A truck can use a loading zone only while it loads or unloads, for up to 30 minutes unless the sign says otherwise (NSW Road Rules). In resident parking streets, a City of Sydney visitor permit can cover the truck, if your household is eligible.
Lifts and stairs. Strata by-laws vary from building to building (NSW Government), so ask how your building books moves.
We ask about all of this when we quote. Updated September 2026
How your move works, from quote to set-up
A Surry Hills move often means stairs, a lift or a City of Sydney parking permit. Here’s how yours goes from quote to set-up in four steps, with the access planned before the truck arrives and one person keeping you informed from booking to moving day.

Removal services we offer
Every move gets the same plan: work out the access, protect every piece and quote the hours before we start. For a house or apartment, start with home removals and add packing and unpacking if you want the boxes done for you. White Glove Services cover the whole job, and furniture storage covers the gap between homes.
Removalists near Surry Hills
Surry Hills runs from Oxford Street down to Cleveland Street, between Elizabeth and Chalmers streets on the city side and South Dowling Street to the east. Around it are Darlinghurst, Paddington, Moore Park, Redfern, Chippendale and Haymarket. Our base is on Oxford Street in Darlinghurst, a short drive from anywhere in Surry Hills, and we also move homes in Darlinghurst, Paddington and the Sydney CBD, across the Eastern Suburbs and throughout Sydney. A move to a neighbouring suburb follows the same plan as one inside Surry Hills: the permit, the lift and the loading dock come first. Moving further? We also run interstate removals to Melbourne and Brisbane.

Questions about moving in Surry Hills
Answers to the questions that come up before a Surry Hills move: parking, loading zones, lifts, stairs and offices. If yours isn’t here, call 1300 849 121 or ask when you request your free quote.
It helps in resident parking streets. Surry Hills is in the City of Sydney, where a visitor permit can cover a removalist’s truck, but not every household can apply: apartment buildings approved since 1996 or 2000, depending on the area, are excluded. The City posts permits within five working days of a complete application, so apply at least a week before you move.
Yes, while it loads or unloads, for up to 30 minutes unless the sign says otherwise (NSW Road Rules, rule 179). A full home takes longer than that, so we plan another spot for the truck: a driveway, a building dock or a permit space. Many loading zones also apply only at set hours, so read the whole sign.
Usually the lift, lift padding and the loading dock, if there is one, often within set moving hours. Strata by-laws vary from building to building, so ask your building manager for the rules and tell us when you request your quote. We plan the hours around the booking, so book the lift as soon as you have a date.
Yes. Narrow stairs and tight doorways change how long a move takes, so mention them when you ask for a quote. The crew wraps each piece, dismantles what won’t fit through in one piece and reassembles it in the room it belongs in. Tell us about any piece you’re unsure of.
Next door. Our base is at Level 4, 113-115 Oxford St, Darlinghurst, and Oxford Street forms the northern edge of Surry Hills. The two suburbs share the 2010 postcode. You can call the team on 1300 849 121 with any question before you book.
Yes. Commercial Removals cover offices, studios and shops, planned so your downtime stays short. Tell us about the building’s loading dock, lift and moving hours when you request your quote, and we’ll plan the truck, the crew and the order of the move around them. Mention any heavy equipment too, so the quote has the right crew.
Your free quote sets out the rate and the hours before we start, based on what’s moving and the access at both addresses. For a bigger or more complex move, book a virtual quote: pick a time, and your Personal Move Manager goes through the move with you for a more detailed quote. It’s open to anyone.
Packing is quoted separately, so you choose whether the crew packs for you. If it does, the packing time and any materials, such as boxes, paper, tape and bubble wrap, are listed in your quote. Furniture and appliances are wrapped for the move at no extra charge.
Yes. Furniture Storage is weatherproof, with short and long stays in Sydney and Melbourne. It suits a gap between moving out and moving in, or a renovation. Tell us your dates when you ask for a quote and we’ll include the storage in it.
