Studio and workshop moves in Marrickville
This suburb makes things: ceramics, furniture, prints, clothes, music. When a studio moves, the gear is not furniture, it is a livelihood. We move it with the respect a trade's tools deserve.
How we treat working gear
- Kilns and wheels. Kilns travel cold, unplugged and upright; pottery wheels get the head padded and the frame strapped. If the manufacturer publishes transport instructions, we follow them.
- Benches and machines. Workbenches strip to the frame where they can. Machines with moving parts get those parts locked or braced before anything is lifted.
- Finished work. Racks of ceramics, canvases and framed prints get paper before blankets, corner protection, and a spot in the truck where nothing leans on them.
- Instruments and amps. Speakers face inwards and ride strapped to the truck wall. Upright pianos get a proper piano trolley and two movers who are not in a hurry.
- Your packing order, kept. A studio has a logic. Tell the crew how the room works and it gets loaded so it unloads in that order at the other end.
The honest limits
We are removalists, not riggers. A kiln, a press or a lathe a person can trolley is our work; plant that needs a crane or a forklift needs a rigging crew, and if your gear is over that line we will say so instead of pretending. Fine art that needs a climate-controlled fine-art carrier is the same honest answer.
The Marrickville Manifest on our home page turns your tricky-item list into a crew recommendation and sends it straight into your enquiry.
Questions makers ask
Can you move the studio on a different day from the house?
Yes, and splitting them is often the calmer plan. Two smaller booked moves can beat one huge day, especially when the studio needs careful hands. Put both in one enquiry and we will lay out the options.
My work is fragile and irreplaceable. How do I know it is safe?
You watch it get wrapped, and nothing goes on the truck until you are happy with how it is protected. For one-of-a-kind pieces we would rather take longer, and say so, than move fast and quiet.
