Moving in Harris Park
Harris Park packs an enormous amount into a small grid right beside the CBD and the station, which makes it one of the busier suburbs to move in. Parkes Street, Harris Street, Allen Street, Alice Street and Marion Street are dense with red-brick walk-up flats from the sixties and seventies, terraces and a famous strip of restaurants along Wigram and Good Streets. The classic Harris Park move is a unit in a walk-up block with no lift, a narrow internal stairwell and limited street parking, so we scout the load spot first and bring the crew and trolleys the stairs call for. On the eat-street blocks the kerb is busy with diners and deliveries, so timing the load away from the lunch and dinner rush matters. It is a stairs-and-timing suburb more than a lift-and-dock one, and we plan both before the day.
Stairs, the internal turn and the load spot
Plenty of Parramatta units are older walk-up blocks with no lift at all, so the move is a stairs job. The carry runs up and down a narrow internal stairwell with a tight turn at each landing, and the street outside often has limited parking, so the first thing we do is scout the best load spot and the stair path. We bring the crew the stairs call for rather than under-sizing the team, pad the stairwell and the entry, and lift heavy items, the fridge, the lounge, the washing machine, with the right gear so nothing scuffs the walls or the rail. Send a photo of the stairs and the entry with your quote and we will tell you exactly what is involved and how many movers it takes.

Harris Park removals: common questions
Where will the truck park for my Harris Park unit move?
We scout the load spot first, because on-street parking around Parkes and Harris Streets fills up and many blocks have no off-street space. We pick the safest, closest spot for a loaded truck and plan the stair carry from there. Tell us the address and we will work out the best position before the day.
Do you move walk-up flats with no lift in Harris Park?
Constantly, it is the classic Harris Park job. The sixties and seventies red-brick blocks are walk-ups with narrow internal stairs, so we bring the right crew size, pad the stairwell, and use the proper gear for the heavy items rather than risking the walls or your back. A photo of the stairs with your quote lets us size it exactly.
Is the restaurant strip a problem for a move?
Only if we ignore it. The Wigram and Good Street eat strip means a busy kerb with diners and deliveries at lunch and dinner, so we time the load away from those windows. On the quieter residential blocks it is rarely an issue.
