Southwark
Whether you want a full house removal in Southwark or just a few items shifted from Rotherhithe to Bermondsey, booking is easy:
Southwark Council can arrange the suspension of parking bay restrictions at the addresses you're moving to and from. Booking a suspension is the best way to make sure there's space near your home for the removals van. The only exception is if you have off-street parking, which few homes in Southwark do. Suspensions must be arranged with the council at least five working days in advance.
We've put together a moving checklist for residents of the London Borough of Southwark. It's full of handy tips on what to do in the lead-up to your move, including when to tell people about your change of address.
Southwark
From Borough Market and Tower Bridge in the north of the borough to Walworth, Camberwell and beyond, we know Southwark well. We also know areas like Peckham, Rotherhithe and Bermondsey, and we're used to working around pinch points such as the Elephant and Castle, avoiding the main trunk roads where we can. Because we charge by the hour, you only pay for the time actually spent.
Southwark
Moving around Southwark can be tricky for drivers who don't know the area. We know its traffic patterns well, including the congestion on Jamaica Road. We offer a full home removals service, including sourcing packing materials and the insured delivery of valuables such as paintings and antiques, with moves extending to overseas locations.
Southwark
Southwark is a varied area that, like much of South London, has seen a lot of development over the last ten years, creating a thriving modern district. Housing ranges from gated communities to affordable homes and modern apartments. The area draws art lovers and musicians, so careful handling of delicate items and flexible scheduling both matter.
Southwark
We cover the whole of London. Don't worry if your area isn't listed; we can usually help.
Southwark
If you don't have time to pack before moving and would rather sit back and relax, ask us to do it for you. Packing is charged by the hour, with a two-hour minimum for two workers. We use professional packing materials and take special care with delicate belongings, which also helps customers moving from overseas.
Southwark has plenty of businesses across the borough. Southwark Street in the north is a commercial hotspot, as is the area near the Thames between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. Wherever you are, our man and van service suits a range of commercial moves. We handle office moves throughout the capital and beyond. Why pay more when our hourly rate is all you need for a well-run Southwark office move?
If you have furniture to be moved, collected and delivered, or taken to the tip, we can help. Lifting and handling large items like corner sofas and beds takes experience, and that's exactly what we offer, so let us do the hard work instead of struggling on your own.
The right packing materials matter for any house move in Southwark. Get the wrong ones and your belongings may suffer. To help, we provide top-quality packing materials in any quantity you need.
From SE1 to SE19, we're in regular contact with temporary storage providers in and around Southwark. We can arrange flexible collection and storage for your items before or after a move.
No hidden fees, a simple hourly rate based on the crew you need. Weekends are charged at +10%.
Southwark
If you have a smaller move, our man and van service is a cost-effective way to get it done. It's more flexible than many services in the borough, and more affordable if you have a few bulky items to move. Why not handle the rest yourself while we move your bed, wardrobe or sofa? If you don't have much to move, take a look at our competitive rates. The service suits people moving from furnished flats and residents of house shares. It's ideal for:
When it comes to flat and house clearances, we offer a careful, reliable service. Many clearances follow a bereavement, so they need to be handled with compassion, and we always work with respect. We can also clear a property after a tenant has moved out, as a service for landlords.
With colleges and universities close to Southwark, including London South Bank in the heart of the borough, there's no shortage of students in the area. Few removals firms are as geared up for their needs as we are. We offer an affordable way to change addresses during term time or after you graduate. Call us to find out more.
With one of London's most famous art galleries in the borough, Southwark has plenty of art lovers. If you own a precious work of art or an antique that needs moving between addresses, we have the experience you're looking for. We've handled highly valuable pieces before, and we bring the same standard to one-of-a-kind items across Southwark.
Our Southwark crews dismantle and reassemble furniture as a matter of course on moving day, and we're happy to build flat pack furniture on its own too. Bought a wardrobe or bed frame you'd rather not tackle? We'll assemble it for you.

We charge a simple hourly rate rather than a fixed day rate, so you only pay for the time your move actually takes. One man and a van is £55 + VAT per hour, two men and a van £75 + VAT per hour, and three men and a van £95 + VAT per hour. As a guide, a typical two-bedroom move in Southwark takes around five to six hours including travel. For an accurate figure, ask us for a free no-obligation quote or a video assessment of your property.
Most two-bedroom properties take two to three hours to load and one to two hours to unload, plus the driving time between the two addresses. Access makes a real difference: stairs, lifts and how far the van has to park from your door all add time. Tell us about both properties when you book and we will give you a realistic estimate rather than an optimistic one.
As much as you can give us, booking as soon as your date is confirmed is the surest way to get the slot you want. That said, we keep our schedule as flexible as we can and we regularly take on moves at a few days' notice, so it is always worth asking even if your date is close.
If you have a driveway or off-street parking at both addresses, no. Otherwise we strongly recommend one: the closer the van can park, the faster the job goes and the less it costs you. Suspensions are arranged through the local council for Southwark and usually need several working days' notice, so apply as soon as your date is fixed, and remember to arrange one at the address you are moving to as well.
Yes. We carry £30,000 of goods-in-transit cover and £1m of public liability insurance as standard. If you are moving something worth more than the standard cover, tell us in advance and we will extend it for your job. Most household contents policies exclude damage in transit, which is exactly the gap this cover fills.
No. Most customers prefer to be there, but we can carry out the whole move in your absence as long as we have access to both properties, keys, entry codes and alarm details arranged in advance. Tell us where things should go and we will unload into the right rooms.
Yes. Packing is a standard service charged at the same hourly rate, and we can supply boxes, tape and protective materials ahead of the day. We can pack a whole property or just the awkward parts, kitchens, glassware and artwork are the usual candidates.
We dismantle and reassemble beds and flat-pack furniture as a matter of course, and we can build items for your new home too. Please disconnect washing machines and dishwashers, and defrost the fridge and freezer, the day before if you can. If you would rather not, ask us and a member of the team will do it on the day.
Yes. We run 3.5t Luton box vans rather than small transit vans, and the service scales, for a larger property we simply put more crew and more vehicles on the job. Three- and four-bedroom houses are routine work for us.
Yes. Storage is useful when your dates do not line up, when you are downsizing, or when you would rather move in stages. We can store what you do not need immediately and deliver it on to your new address when you are ready for it.
We take a 25% deposit for domestic moves and 50% for business moves to secure your date. The balance is due on completion, once everything has been unloaded at your new address. We accept credit and debit cards.
Yes. Weekend availability is more limited and is charged at a 10% surcharge, so a midweek move is usually better value, but if Saturday or Sunday is the only date that works, book early and we will do our best to fit you in.
Moving dates slip; we understand that. Change or cancel with 11 or more days' notice and there is no charge, if you cancel outright, your deposit is returned within 10 working days. With 10 days' notice or fewer, the deposit covers the booking we have held for you.
