Ballsbridge, the way we know it.
J Hanway has been moving Ballsbridge households since 1982, with deep experience of protected structures, Herbert Park apartment loading bays and the parking rules around Pembroke Road and Shelbourne Road.
Moving in Ballsbridge: what people ask us
Can you book loading bays at Herbert Park and the Sweepstakes?
Yes. We work with the building management companies directly and book loading bay windows 7–10 days in advance for apartment moves.
How do you handle Pembroke Road and Shelbourne Road parking?
We apply for DCC restricted-parking permits in advance so there's a legal bay reserved outside your door on move day.
Are you insured for high-value Ballsbridge contents?
Yes — comprehensive transit and handling insurance, which matters in D4 where contents are often valuable and properties are often protected.
How far in advance should I book a Ballsbridge move?
For standard moves, 1–2 weeks. Peak summer weekends and the August–September rush fill earlier, especially for loading-bay-dependent apartment jobs.
