Howth, the way we know it.

J Hanway moves Howth households from village cottages to Cliff Road and Summit homes. The peninsula is narrow, steep and tight — we've been navigating it for over forty years and plan every move around it.

Moving in Howth: what people ask us

Can you navigate Howth village's narrow streets?

Yes — but we assess truck size carefully for each job. Some village-centre locations need a smaller vehicle and we bring one.

Do you handle Cliff Road and Summit properties?

Yes — steep access, winding coastal roads and challenging turning points are routine for Howth jobs. We've been navigating the peninsula for over forty years.

What about Howth weather on move day?

The peninsula gets more wind and rain than the rest of Dublin. We bring extra waterproof covering and work around the worst weather where possible.

Can you handle Howth harbour area moves?

Yes — harbour-side properties and apartments are fine, though we coordinate around weekend tourist traffic and the fishing fleet schedule when needed.

How far ahead should I book a Howth move?

2–3 weeks. Summit and Cliff Road jobs benefit from earlier booking because access-complex jobs need careful planning.

Howth is Dublin's most dramatic coastal location, a picturesque fishing village and peninsula offering stunning cliff walks, fresh seafood, and breathtaking sea views. This unique area features winding coastal roads, steep hill access, and a mix of traditional cottages, modern family homes, and luxury cliff-top properties. Moving in Howth demands specialist knowledge of challenging terrain, narrow village streets, and coastal access routes.

Specialist Howth Moving Services

Cliff Road and Summit Moves

Properties with spectacular views on Cliff Road, Balscadden Road, and near Howth Summit require specialist vehicles and experienced drivers familiar with narrow, steep coastal roads.

Village Centre Relocations

Howth village features narrow streets like Abbey Street and Church Street. We expertly navigate these historic lanes with appropriate vehicle sizes and advance planning.

Harbour Area Apartments

Modern developments near Howth Harbour and DART station require coordination with building management, lift bookings, and management of busy weekend tourist traffic.

Hill Access Properties

Moving to properties on Howth Hill demands understanding of challenging access routes, potential weather impacts, and proper equipment for steep driveways.

Period Property Expertise

Traditional Howth cottages require careful handling to protect period features, low doorways, and original architectural details.

Storage Solutions

Secure storage for furniture and belongings during property transactions or renovations, essential given Howth's active property market.

Understanding Howth's Unique Challenges

Steep Coastal Roads: Balscadden Road, Cliff Road, and Summit access routes require experienced drivers and appropriate vehicles. We assess access during initial consultations.

Narrow Village Streets: Historic Howth village layout means tight turns and limited passing spaces. Our team plans routes carefully and uses suitable vehicle sizes.

Tourist Traffic: Weekends bring visitors for cliff walks, seafood, and the famous Sunday market. We schedule moves for quieter times when possible.

DART Station Access: Properties near Howth DART benefit from excellent transport but require parking coordination during commuter hours.

Weather Considerations: Coastal weather, especially wind on exposed cliff roads, requires flexible planning and weather monitoring.

Harbour Events: Yacht club events, regattas, and fishing activities create seasonal traffic patterns we account for when planning moves.

Limited Parking: Village centre and harbour areas have limited parking. We secure necessary permits and plan loading/unloading carefully.
