Same crews, same trucks, same hourly rates — whichever of these your Redfern move turns out to be. Ordered by what we do most often in apartment towers & managed buildings.
Six steps, in order, from the moment you enter your address to the moment the crew leaves.
Steps three to five are the ones that change from suburb to suburb — and in Redfern they are shaped by narrow streets & tight frontages.
1
Instant estimate, then a human check
Enter your Redfern address and the calculator returns a real number in about two minutes, built from the same pricing our crews are dispatched on. Our team then reviews the enquiry personally and comes back the same business day.
2
Your date, locked with a written quote
You get the truck size, the crew size, the hourly rate, the call-out and the surcharge (if you are moving on a weekend) in writing before you commit. Nothing on that sheet changes on move day unless you change the job.
3
Building booking, before anything else
Towers run the schedule, not us. We confirm your building's service-lift booking window, the loading-dock slot, whether the dock has a height limit, and who issues the Certificate of Currency. In Redfern that call happens before we lock your date — a lift booked for the wrong two-hour window is the one thing that can turn a smooth move into an expensive one.
4
Truck sized to the street, not just the load
Narrow streets around Redfern rule out the biggest trucks regardless of how much you own. We match the truck to what can actually turn into your street and get out again, and where that means a smaller truck plus a shuttle we price it that way from the start. Your crew leaves Double Bay Office minutes away, so the truck is at your door at the start of your window rather than an hour into it.
5
Protected first, loaded second
Floor runners and doorframe padding go down before a single item moves. Mattresses go into covers, screens and mirrors into purpose-made cartons, and the load is built heaviest-first so nothing shifts on the drive.
6
Placed, reassembled, and signed off
Beds go back together, furniture goes where you point rather than where it lands, and the crew does a final walk-through with you before they leave. Billing stops when the last item is placed — we bill by the minute after the two-hour minimum, not in rounded-up half hours.
That is the whole process — no step six-and-a-half.Start at step one and you will have a number for your Redfern move in about two minutes.
Redfern streets can be narrow — heritage terrace pockets and older grid blocks. We size the truck at quote stage so parking and swing don't become surprises on the day.

What it costs
Redfern removalist costs — work it out now
Pick your home size and where you are going. These are the same truck rates, call-out and
two-hour minimum our crews are dispatched on — so this is an indication, not a teaser.
For a real quote against your actual addresses, the calculator takes about two minutes.
Indicative only. Your real quote depends on the actual drive between your two addresses,
stairs, lifts and carry distance. Weekend and public-holiday surcharges are per crew member.
Why it matters
AFRA accredited vs a cheap quote in Redfern
Anyone can put a truck on a website. AFRA — the Australian Furniture Removers Association —
audits members every year on insurance, equipment, training and complaints handling.
Here is what that difference looks like on a Redfern job.
What you are comparingEasy Peasy · AFRA memberNon-accredited operator
Certificate of Currency for your building✓Issued on request, usually same day. Most Redfern buildings will not release a lift booking without one.✗Often unavailable, or a generic certificate that building management rejects — and you find out the morning of the move.
Written quote before you commit✓Truck, crew, hourly rate, call-out and any weekend surcharge in writing before you book. Billed by the minute after the two-hour minimum.✗Verbal estimate over the phone, then a "the job was bigger than expected" conversation at the end of the day.
Vehicles and equipment✓Owned, maintained fleet of 20+ trucks with blankets, trolleys, straps and port-a-robes on board as standard.✗Hire truck booked that morning, with equipment charged separately or simply not carried.
Who actually turns up✓Uniformed, screened, trained employees. The same crews week after week, not a different pair each job.✗Subcontracted or casual labour with no background screening and no accountability back to the company.
If something goes wrong✓A documented complaints process, externally audited every year as an AFRA member, with an escalation path that ends at a named manager.✗No formal process. Your options are a chargeback, a bad review, or small claims.
Cancellations and no-shows✓A depot, a dispatcher and a backup truck. If a vehicle breaks down we send another one.✗One truck and one driver. A breakdown or a double-booking means your move simply does not happen that day.
Pricing after the job✓The rate you were quoted, billed to the minute. No fuel levy, no stair levy, no "heavy item" surprise.✗Low headline rate, then call-out fees, travel time, fuel surcharges and equipment hire added at the end.
Easy Peasy is an AFRA member and a registered NDIS provider, externally audited on insurance, equipment, driver conduct and complaints handling. The same standards apply to a one-bedroom Redfern flat as to a full house.
Sydney's newest high-rise belt — Green Square, Zetland, Waterloo, plus warehouse conversions and the airport-side family suburbs.
Redfern is one of the suburbs we cover across Inner South. Same crews, same trucks and the same hourly rates apply right across the region, so if you are moving between Inner South suburbs — or out of Inner South entirely — it is the same team either way. The Inner South page lists every suburb we cover in this part of Sydney.
From 0/hr for a 4T truck with two removalists, 2-hour minimum. Bigger trucks up to 12T available. The calculator returns your full breakdown in under 2 minutes.
Do you handle Redfern's tight terrace streets?
Yes — we know the Redfern terrace streets well and size the truck at quote stage so nothing gets stuck. Larger loads split into two truck runs where needed.
How much do removalists cost in Redfern?
From $160/hr for a 2T van or $180/hr for a 4T truck with two removalists, with a two-hour minimum and then billed by the minute. Most Redfern moves run on a 6T at around $190/hr, and at 4km from our Double Bay Office the travel component stays modest. Run your address through the Instant Quote calculator for a full breakdown in about two minutes.
How long does a Redfern move take?
A typical Redfern job runs 3–5 hours, based on the apartment towers & managed buildings we move here most often. Stairs, lift waits and carry distance are what move that number, which is why we ask about access before we ask about bedrooms.
Do you handle the parking and access issues in Redfern?
Yes. Narrow streets and tight frontages around Redfern rule out our biggest trucks regardless of how much you own, so we match the truck to what can actually turn into your street. Send a photo of the frontage when you book and we will size it properly rather than sending the biggest vehicle and hoping.
Can you move us on a weekend in Redfern?
Yes — Saturday and Sunday slots are available and they book out first, so give us as much notice as you can. Weekend work carries a surcharge paid per removalist (+$11/hr Saturday, +$22/hr Sunday on a two-removalist truck), and it is shown on your quote before you commit rather than added afterwards.
Which suburbs near Redfern do you also cover?
All of them. We regularly move between Redfern and Moore Park, Beaconsfield, Green Square, Rosebery, Daceyville and Alexandria. A move between two neighbouring suburbs is one of the most common jobs we run — short drive leg, same crew, same hourly rate.
Are you insured and AFRA accredited?
Yes. Easy Peasy Removals is an AFRA member, externally audited on insurance, equipment, driver conduct and complaints handling. We carry public liability and goods-in-transit cover, and we can issue a Certificate of Currency on request — usually the same day, which is what most buildings and body corporates ask for before they will release a lift booking.
