Movers in Dublin 8: Apartment, House & Same Day Removals

Dublin 8 covers the Liberties, Kilmainham and Portobello, one of the fastest changing parts of the city, where Georgian and Victorian terraces sit alongside a wave of new-build apartment developments. High density living, tight city streets and a lot of rental turnover make Dublin 8 one of our busiest areas, here's what to expect.

Moving in Dublin 8: What to Expect

Dublin 8 is a genuine mix, older terraced houses and converted flats around the Liberties and Kilmainham, and a growing number of modern apartment blocks around Portobello, the South Circular Road and near the Guinness Storehouse. Older terraces often have narrow frontages and stairs, the kind of detail Moving Service Dublin factors in before quoting. You can see everything we offer on our services page.

With so much rental turnover in the area, we also do a strong volume of small removals and single item collections here. If you're comparing Dublin 8 with another part of the city, our areas we cover page lists every neighbourhood we work in.

The Dublin 8 Area We Cover

We cover the Liberties, Kilmainham, Portobello, South Circular Road, Rialto and the streets around the Guinness Storehouse and IMMA. It's one of the most central postal districts in the city, with narrow one-way streets in places and a real mix of old and new housing stock side by side.

Local Moving Tips for Dublin 8

• Many Liberties and Kilmainham streets are narrow and one-way, a van suits access far better than a large truck here.
• Newer apartment blocks near Portobello and South Circular Road usually need lift booking, sort this a few days ahead.
• Loading permits or short-term parking suspensions can be needed on some streets, worth checking with Dublin City Council if you're on a tight terrace.
• Traffic near the Guinness Storehouse and IMMA can be heavier during tourist season, factor this into your timing.

Same Day and Small Moves

With narrow one-way streets across the Liberties and Kilmainham, sometimes it's easier to have someone else behind the wheel, and our van hire with driver service does exactly that. For bulkier single pieces, our furniture removals service covers it without a full house booking.
