If you are looking for movers Dublin 16 families can depend on, Moving Service Dublin covers Ballinteer, Knocklyon, Ballyboden, Edmondstown, Scholarstown, Marlay and the D16 side of Rathfarnham and Sandyford. We bring a transit van and an experienced mover, wrap your furniture properly and agree a fixed price before the day.
D16 sits right at the foot of the Dublin Mountains and is almost entirely family housing, built in waves from the 1970s onward, with newer estates and apartments toward Stepaside and Ticknock. Check our services for the full list of what we do, or the areas we cover page if you are leaving the south side.
Family Focused Movers Dublin 16 Residents Choose
Most D16 moves are full family homes: three and four bed semis and detached houses with garages, attics, sheds and garden furniture. That means a lot of different items, from kids' bunk beds and trampolines to home office desks and fridge freezers. We take apart beds and large units, wrap everything carefully and plan the load and the number of trips in advance. Where a home is particularly large, we arrange a larger vehicle so the move stays efficient.
Many D16 estates are laid out around cul de sacs and green areas. Driveways make loading easier, but some roads are narrow with tight turning circles, so we ask about access in advance.
Hills, Slopes and Mountain Roads
As you head up toward Ballyboden, Edmondstown and Kilmashogue, roads get steeper and some homes sit on sloping sites with steps to the door. A few things that help on moving day:
- Tell us about any steep driveways or steps at either address.
- Clear the drive of cars so the van can back in close.
- Keep children and pets out of the main carrying route.
- Have bikes, garden tools and shed items gathered in one place.
Traffic and Timing Around D16
The M50 junctions at Ballinteer and Firhouse, along with roads like Grange Road and Ballinteer Avenue, get very busy at school times. With several large schools in the area, a mid morning start often works best. Marlay Park concert days in summer close roads and bring huge crowds, so we always check the events calendar before confirming a date nearby.
If you are moving out of D16 to a smaller home, perhaps closer to the city, we can move just the pieces you want to keep and leave the rest for you to sort out in your own time.
For moves within the postcode, such as from Knocklyon to Ballinteer, we can usually start early and have the bulk of the furniture placed in the new house well before the school run.
