Moving in Putney
Putney is the house end of the corridor and one of its quietest pockets: a waterside enclave on a bend of the Parramatta River near Kissing Point Park, where only about one dwelling in nine is a unit. Almost everything here is a house, much of it Federation and interwar homes held by the same families for a very long time, on leafy streets like Morrison Road, Charles Street, Pellisier Road and Waterview Street. So a Putney move is firmly a house move, and very often a downsize: a substantial home with a deep backyard, a garage of accumulated things and a lifetime to sort, being packed down for a smaller place. Access is generally a driveway-and-door affair, though some of the older homes have a narrow drive or a tight gate, and a few streets fall toward the river. We read the access, take the sort at the pace it needs, and protect the home on the way through.
A long-held home, and usually a downsize
At this end of the corridor almost everything is a house, much of it held by the same family for decades, so the move is rarely just lifting boxes. It is a sort: what comes to the new, smaller place, what goes to children and grandchildren, what is sold or donated, and what waits in storage until the dates line up. We move at the pace that needs, because a forty-year home is an emotional job, not a sprint, and we will happily do it in stages. Access is generally a comfortable driveway-and-door affair, though some older homes have a narrow drive or a tight gate, and the ridge and riverside streets can slope, so we read the access and control heavy items on the grade. The single most useful thing we do here is measure the new apartment's doorways and lift before we pack the wardrobe, so the pieces you are keeping actually fit. Our downsizing planner sets out the weeks before the day.

Putney removals: common questions
We have lived in our Putney home for decades. How do you handle a downsize this big?
Gently and in stages if you want. A long-held Putney home is an emotional sort, not just a lift, so we help you decide what comes to the smaller place, what goes to family, and what is sold, donated or stored. We measure the new home's access first so the pieces you keep fit, and we move at the pace it needs. The downsizing planner walks you through the weeks before.
Is access straightforward for a Putney house move?
Generally, yes. The Federation and interwar homes on streets like Morrison Road, Charles Street and Waterview Street mostly sit on blocks with a driveway we can back the truck to. The variables are the odd narrow drive or tight gate and the streets that fall toward the river, which we read before the day.
Can you store our furniture if the new place is not ready?
Yes, and on a Putney downsize that in-between stage is common. We can move your belongings into secure storage and deliver them when you are ready, so you are not forced into a frantic same-day move. Ask us to quote the move-store-move together and it usually works out calmer and cheaper.
How much does a Putney 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.
