Removalists in Cremorne
Cremorne is art-deco walk-up territory: handsome but narrow stairwells, tight landings and often no lift, plus steep streets running down to Cremorne Point. We measure the big pieces, plan whether anything needs to come apart before the day, and protect the original deco entrances on the way through.

Moving in Cremorne
BriefCremorne is art-deco walk-up territory with a harbourside twist. The classic deco blocks have handsome but narrow stairwells and tight landings, so moving a modern lounge or a tall wardrobe through them takes measuring and planning rather than brute force, and many have no lift at all. Out toward Cremorne Point the streets run steep down to the peninsula and the ferry wharf, which means long carries and a truck that often has to stage further back from the door. Both situations reward planning: we work out the loading position, the carry route and whether a piece needs to come apart before the day, not on it. The deco character is part of the appeal of living here and part of the care a move needs, since those original stairwells and entrances mark easily. Where a block has a building manager or strata rules, we confirm the notice period and the certificate of currency they will want before we are allowed to bring the truck and crew in.

NotesWill my furniture fit down a Cremorne deco stairwell?
The art-deco blocks have handsome but narrow stairwells and tight landings, so a modern modular lounge or a tall wardrobe needs measuring and planning rather than brute force. We check the awkward pieces before the day and dismantle or carry them at an angle where needed, and we protect the original stairwells and entrances, which mark easily and are expensive to repair.
How do you handle the steep streets to Cremorne Point?
Out toward Cremorne Point the streets run steep down to the peninsula and the ferry wharf, so the truck often has to stage further back from the door and the carry is longer than the frontage suggests. We work out the loading position and the carry route in advance and crew the job for the distance rather than being caught out on the day.
Does my Cremorne block have move-in rules to follow?
Many do. Where a deco block has a building manager or strata, there is usually a notice period and a certificate of currency they will want before we are allowed to bring the truck and crew in. Many Lower North Shore buildings require written proof of your removalist's public-liability insurance (a certificate of currency) before they will approve the goods lift, and some ask for cover of up to around $20 million. The amount varies by building, so confirm yours with your building manager, and we will provide our certificate of currency for them on request.
