Removalists in Dee Why
Dee Why is the Northern Beaches' apartment heart — mid- and high-rise blocks around the town centre and beachfront. A 2-bed apartment with lift is $600–$900 + GST at $150/hr with two movers. The variable is service-lift bookings and Pittwater Road, the peninsula's main artery.

Moving in Dee Why
What Dee Why actually involves.
Dee Why 2099 is the commercial and residential centre of the Northern Beaches, in Northern Beaches Council. It has the highest apartment density on the peninsula — mid- and high-rise blocks around the town centre on Pittwater Road and Howard Avenue, beachfront towers along The Strand, plus older walk-up blocks and family homes on the inland streets toward Dee Why lagoon.
The newer apartment towers require booked service-lift windows (1–2 weeks notice) and have loading docks or designated bays. Older beachfront walk-ups are 3–4 storeys without lifts — floor count drives the hours there. Give us the building name on the quote call.
Pittwater Road is the peninsula's spine and runs busy in both directions, worse on beach-season weekends. Getting off the peninsula to the city means Warringah Road to the Spit Bridge or Military Road — both heavy at peaks. We push Dee Why jobs toward weekday mid-morning windows.
Before you book
What to tell us when you call.
The quicker we know these, the tighter the hours range on your quote.
01
Tower address? Book the service lift
Newer Dee Why apartment towers need a booked lift window (1–2 weeks notice). Send us the confirmed slot.
02
Beachfront walk-up? Floor count matters
The Strand walk-ups are 3–4 storeys without lifts — every floor adds 30–45 minutes.
03
Weekday mid-morning avoids Pittwater Rd peaks
The peninsula spine is heavy at commuter and beach-traffic peaks. 10am–2pm is cleanest.

Representative move
A typical Dee Why move.
2-bed apartment · off The Strand · 5 hours · $750 + GST
A common Dee Why job: a 2-bedroom apartment a block back from The Strand off Pittwater Road, mid-level with a lift, timed for an early start before the beach parking filled for the day.
Two movers and a truck, five hours — 5 × $150 = $750 + GST. The lift kept the carries short; the beachfront parking was the thing to plan the start around.
Pattern: in the Dee Why apartments around The Strand and Pittwater Road, the parking window runs the day. Two movers suits most 1- and 2-bed apartments; three for a full three-bedroom.
