In newer buildings, the lift and loading dock set the timetable. Most strata managers want a booking, sometimes with protective padding fitted in the lift, so sort that after you approve the quote and pass us the time.
Visitor parking around apartment blocks can be tight. If there's nowhere for a truck out front, tell us about a rear lane, a service bay or the nearest legal kerb space and we'll plan the carry from there.
Move-outs are a typical reason for a job in the apartments: mattresses, bed frames, flat-pack wardrobes that didn't survive being taken apart, and balcony furniture nobody wants to shift. The freestanding houses, mostly older homes with garages and yards, bring garage clear-outs and garden waste instead.

FAQ
Hornsby: questions about access and loads
My Hornsby strata manager wants proof of insurance before contractors use the lift. Can you help?
Yes. We can send our certificate of currency for public liability on request. Tell us what your strata manager needs when you approve the quote.
There's no visitor parking at my block. Where will you put the truck?
Mention any loading zone, service lane or nearby kerb space when you send photos. We plan the carry from wherever the truck can legally stop.
Can you get a mattress out of a top-floor unit if the lift is out of action?
Yes, we can carry it down the stairs. Let us know the floor and the lift situation so the quote covers the carry.
I've already moved out of the apartment. Do I need to come back for the pickup?
No. Approve the quote, arrange access to the unit and the lift booking, and we handle the rest. We'll call once it's loaded and text you a secure card payment link.
