Removalists in Epping
Epping straddles two councils — the southern half sits in the City of Ryde, the rest in Hornsby Shire — and the Metro has turned its town centre vertical.
Moving in Epping
Epping straddles two councils — the southern half sits in the City of Ryde, the rest in Hornsby Shire — and the Metro has turned its town centre vertical. Around Beecroft Road, Langston Place and Rawson Street, apartment towers have risen over the station, while the surrounding streets like Cliff Road, Oxford Street and Essex Street still hold the substantial interwar and Federation homes Epping is known for. So an Epping move is the corridor's whole story in one suburb: a large, long-held family home being sorted and downsized, very often into one of the new station-precinct towers a short walk away. That means a driveway-and-carry at one end and a booked goods lift and loading dock at the other, sometimes on the same day. We plan both ends, and we sort which council's rules apply to your specific address before move day.
House or apartment — we ask which first
Through the middle of the corridor the suburbs are close to evenly split between houses and units, so the first thing we sort is which one you have, because they are completely different to crew and plan. A house is a driveway-and-door move with a careful carry and, very often, a downsize to organise first. An apartment is a goods-lift move: we book the lift window with building management, confirm the loading bay, and protect the lift car and the lobby. Either way these suburbs cluster around busy stations and arterials like Victoria Road, so for the units we scout the closest safe load spot and time the work, and for the houses we read the driveway and any slope. Tell us the address and whether it is a house or a unit, and we will size the crew and the truck accurately rather than guessing.
What we plan around in Epping
The genuine things that shape the truck, the crew and the timing here:
- Straddles the City of Ryde and Hornsby Shire — we check which council applies to your address
- The Metro turned the town centre vertical: apartment towers over Epping station
- Substantial interwar and Federation homes on Cliff Road, Oxford Street and Essex Street
- The typical move is a big family home downsized into a nearby station-precinct apartment
Send both addresses with your quote and we will tell you exactly how we would handle your move, including the sort, the carry, any lift and any stairs.

Epping removals: common questions
Which council is my Epping move in — Ryde or Hornsby?
It depends on the address; Epping straddles the boundary, with the southern half in the City of Ryde and the rest in Hornsby Shire. It can matter if a move needs a kerb permit, so we sort which council applies to your specific address before the day rather than assuming.
We are moving from our Epping house into a new apartment by the station. Can you do both ends?
Yes, and it is the classic Epping move now. We handle the driveway-and-carry at the family home, the sort and downsize, and the booked goods lift and loading dock at the new station-precinct tower, sometimes on the same day. We confirm the lift window with the building ahead of time.
Do you move the larger Federation and interwar homes around Cliff Road and Oxford Street?
Often. Those substantial homes are exactly the long-held houses this corridor downsizes from, with a lifetime of things to sort. We blanket-wrap the good furniture, take the sort at the pace it needs, and protect the home on the way through.
How much does an Epping move cost?
Our online-quote rates start at $200/hour for two movers and a truck ($250 for three, $400 for a larger crew with two trucks), billed hourly from arrival, with a clear indicative quote up front for your specific move. On a downsize we can also quote the move-store-move together.
