The North Shore has some of Sydney's most beautiful homes, and some of its trickiest moves. Large family houses on steep blocks in Mosman and Wahroonga, long driveways in Killara and Pymble, and apartment buildings with small lifts in Chatswood, St Leonards and Hunters Hill all need careful planning before the truck arrives.
Meticulous Removals has been moving North Shore homes and offices for 14 years. We plan the access before moving day, protect your home and your belongings, and treat everything we carry as if it were our own.

Large family homes Many North Shore houses are big, multi-level homes with a lot of furniture, outdoor settings and garages full of years of belongings. We plan the right crew size and truck, so the move is done in one trip and on time, and we can pack and unpack for you.
Steep blocks and long driveways In suburbs like Mosman, Killara, Pymble and Wahroonga, homes often sit on steep blocks, behind long driveways or up flights of outdoor steps. We check where the truck can safely stand and how far we need to carry, and we use trolleys and padding to move heavy items safely down slopes and stairs.
Apartments with small lifts Older apartment buildings in Hunters Hill, Neutral Bay and Cremorne often have small lifts that won't take a sofa or a king-size base. We measure ahead, dismantle what needs dismantling and plan the stairs when the lift is too small. In newer towers in Chatswood and St Leonards, we book the service lift and send our public liability certificate to building management.
Valuable and delicate furniture Antiques, artwork, glass tables and designer pieces are common on the North Shore. We wrap each item in protective blankets and secure it properly in the truck.
Apartment with a small lift, Hunters Hill Small lifts and tight access are common in Hunters Hill apartment buildings. We plan which items fit in the lift, which need to be dismantled and which go by the stairs, so nothing gets stuck halfway. Read the full story.
Family home on a steep block A large house with a long driveway or outdoor steps means planning where the truck stands and how to carry heavy furniture safely downhill. We bring the right crew and equipment so the day runs to schedule.
Downsizing from a house to an apartment Many North Shore families move from a large home into an apartment in Chatswood, St Leonards or Neutral Bay. We help you decide what goes, handle the building paperwork at the new address and can unpack so you're settled the same day.
What our North Shore clients say
"For me Moving is a nightmare but thanks to Romain and michael today was actually enjoyable. Everything was a smooth process. They had good methods and skills for difficult jobs and made everything effortless. They delivered and unpacked with a lot of care and their vibe was enthusiastic and bright. I will definitely be using for all my moving. It took the stress out of things. They also had great interior tips so my lay out looks very nice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" Talia, Mosman
"Best experience with removalists we’ve ever had. Romain was great to communicate with and the guys who helped us on the day were amazing - thank you Martin, Luiz and Mika! They were professional, careful and really efficient (honestly, they’re moving wizards!) and really friendly guys too. They made what’s usually a stressful experience an absolute breeze. We really appreciated the care they took with our plants as well - everything arrived intact. Cannot recommend these guys highly enough!!" Sonja, Lane Cove

What changes the price most on the North Shore:
Tell us about your move and we will give you a clear quote with no hidden extras.
Can you move a large family home in one day? In most cases, yes. We plan the crew size and truck around the size of your home and your access, so most local house moves are completed in a single day. For very large homes, we can pack the day before.
What if the truck can't get up my driveway? We check access before moving day. If the driveway is too steep or narrow, we park on the street and carry, or use a smaller vehicle to get closer to the house.
What if my apartment lift is too small for my furniture? We measure your largest items against the lift beforehand. Items that don't fit are dismantled, or carried safely by the stairs.
Can you provide an insurance certificate for my building? Yes. We hold public liability insurance and send the certificate directly to your building manager or strata before moving day.
How far ahead should I book? Weekends and the end of the month fill up first. For those dates, booking 2 to 3 weeks ahead is a good idea. Midweek moves are often available at shorter notice.
What can't you move? We can't connect or disconnect gas appliances, and we can't transport highly flammable items such as gas bottles or propane tanks.
Tell us where you're moving from and to, your moving date, the size of your home and any access details such as driveways, stairs or lifts. We'll come back to you quickly with a clear, no-obligation quote.
