Removalists in Potts Point
Potts Point is Art Deco and heritage apartment buildings on tight tree-lined one-way streets. A 1-bed apartment is $450–$600 + GST at $150/hr; a 2-bed is $600–$900 + GST. The variable is the older buildings — small original lifts, walk-ups and heritage move-hour restrictions stretch the timeline.

What Potts Point actually involves.
Potts Point 2011 sits above Woolloomooloo on the city fringe, in City of Sydney. It is Sydney's densest Art Deco precinct — inter-war apartment buildings along Macleay Street, Victoria Street and the tree-lined side streets, plus grand converted mansions and a few newer blocks.
The Art Deco buildings are the timing variable — many have small original lifts that take one loaded dolly at a time, or are walk-ups, and some heritage buildings restrict moves to weekday business hours. Give us the building name so we plan the lift and any hour restrictions.
The streets are tight, tree-lined and one-way, with permit zones and clearways near Kings Cross. We often stage from the nearest legal spot and carry, or arrange a City of Sydney moving permit (5–10 business days ahead). Weekday mid-morning is cleanest.

What to tell us when you call.

01
Heritage building? Confirm move-hour rules
Some Art Deco buildings restrict moves to weekday business hours — check with building management.
02
Small original lift? Add time
Older lifts take one dolly at a time — 2-bed moves can run 5–7 hours instead of 4–6.
03
Permit-zone street? Consider a permit
Tight one-ways near Kings Cross — a moving permit (5–10 business days ahead) reserves space.

Representative move
A typical Potts Point move.
2-bed art-deco walk-up · off Macleay Street · 5 hours · $750 + GST
A classic Potts Point job: a 2-bedroom apartment in one of the grand art-deco walk-ups off Macleay Street, second floor, with the narrow stairwells and tight one-way parking the area is known for.
Two movers and a truck, five hours — 5 × $150 = $750 + GST. The staircase was the pinch point; a couple of pieces came apart to make the turn at the landing.
Pattern: in the Potts Point and Elizabeth Bay walk-ups, the old stairwells and the street parking run the day. Two movers suits most apartments.
