The Garden Suburb: heritage homes, no towers

Haberfield is one of Sydney’s few entirely heritage-listed suburbs — a planned “Garden Suburb” of Federation houses on wide, tree-lined streets, with almost no apartment towers. That shapes every move here: these are single-dwelling family homes, often with original features, timber floors, and decades of belongings. There are no lifts or loading docks to book — but there is real furniture, sometimes heavy and sometimes fragile, that deserves proper wrapping and unhurried handling. We bring the pads, blankets and care that older homes need.

Room to work, and homes worth protecting

Most Haberfield homes have driveways and off-street space, so we can get the truck close and keep carry distances short — access is rarely the problem here. The care is. We protect original doorways, staircases and floorboards, and take the time on antiques, pianos and glass cabinets that a heritage home tends to hold. For a full house move within Haberfield or over to a neighbour like Ashfield, you get a crew that treats the home as carefully as the furniture.

What a Haberfield move costs

Straightforward half-hourly pricing plus GST, with a minimum of 2 hours plus a 30-minute travel call-out:

Day	Rate (2 movers + truck)
Monday – Friday	$68 + GST per half hour
Saturday – Sunday	$78 + GST per half hour

That’s for two movers and a fully equipped truck. Larger Federation homes often run better with a third mover — an extra $50/hr + GST that usually shortens the day. Pianos, antiques and items over 100kg may need the third crew member too.
