Relocating a pool table is a complex and delicate task that demands specialized knowledge, precision handling, and the right tools. When searching for pool table removalists, it’s essential to work with a team that understands every nuance involved in disassembling, transporting, and reassembling these heavy, often valuable pieces. At Afford Sydney Removals, we offer comprehensive services tailored to pool table removals of all types, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.
Why Choose Specialist Pool Table Removal Services?
Pool tables are not only extremely heavy—often weighing between 180 to over 450 kilograms—but they also require careful treatment to prevent damage to the slate, felt, and frame. General moving companies may lack the specific tools or expertise needed, risking significant damage to the table or injury to the movers. That’s why hiring dedicated pool table removalists is the smartest choice for owners who want peace of mind and professional results.
Expertise in All Pool Table Types
We are well-versed in handling a wide range of pool table models, including:
Slate Pool Tables: These require careful disassembly and re-leveling during reinstallation due to the fragile and heavy slate slabs.
MDF Pool Tables: Though lighter, these still require proper care to avoid structural damage.
Antique and Custom Tables: High-value or heirloom pieces demand extra attention to finish, frame integrity, and accurate reassembly.
Each type comes with unique requirements for transport and installation. Our trained team evaluates the table structure and location constraints before initiating the removal process.
Meticulous Disassembly and Preparation
Our removal process begins with a thorough on-site assessment. Once the table’s dimensions, materials, and access points are reviewed, our team disassembles it with absolute care. This includes:
Removing the pockets and rails
Unscrewing the felt and cushioning (where necessary)
Carefully lifting out slate pieces using padding and stabilizers
Protecting every component with padded covers and secure straps
Every bolt, screw, and bracket is logged, bagged, and labeled to ensure accurate reassembly.
Safe Transportation With Purpose-Built Equipment
Once disassembled, each component is carefully wrapped and packed using protective blankets and corner protectors. Transportation is conducted in clean, padded trucks with secure locking mechanisms to eliminate any chance of internal shifting.
Our fleet is equipped with hydraulic lifts, trolleys, and custom rigging systems specifically designed for handling large, weight-distributed items like pool tables. Whether navigating narrow doorways or stairs, our team handles every challenge with skill and precision.
Professional Reassembly and Leveling Services
Relocation doesn’t end at transport. Reassembling a pool table is as critical as removing it. We meticulously reverse the disassembly steps, ensuring:
Accurate placement of all frame components
Reinstallation of slate with proper sealing and alignment
Precision leveling using digital tools and expert techniques
Reapplication or tightening of the felt, ensuring no wrinkles or air pockets
This careful approach guarantees not just a functional pool table, but one that plays as smoothly and precisely as before.
Insurance, Safety, and Compliance
We prioritize the protection of your property, our workers, and your peace of mind. That’s why:
All services are fully insured for both transport and on-site handling
Our team follows strict safety protocols, including PPE use, weight-bearing limits, and handling guidelines
We adhere to compliance standards outlined by New South Wales transport and workplace authorities
By minimizing risks and maximizing efficiency, we offer a service that is not only dependable but also highly professional.
Pool Table Disposal and Recycling Options
If your pool table is damaged beyond repair or simply no longer needed, we offer environmentally responsible removal and disposal services. We dismantle and sort materials like wood, metal, felt, and slate, delivering them to appropriate recycling or disposal facilities. Where possible, usable parts are salvaged or donated.
This service ensures that you meet waste compliance guidelines while doing your part for sustainability.
