Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around South Croydon, movers near you here covers supply-free fitting from £58. With 47% of South Croydon's 3,637 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in CR2 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
Studio through to a family house, plus whether either end has stairs, a lift or a permit-only street.
Step 2
The crew booked is one already working that borough, so parking rules, lift booking processes and common stairwell widths are already known rather than learned on the day.
Step 3
Small moves are usually quoted as a fixed job; larger or uncertain moves run on the hourly crew rate, both shown with any permit or ULEZ cost as its own line.
Step 4
A two-hour window is standard, sent the evening before; a narrower one-hour window can be booked for a fixed date.
Step 5
Furniture placed room by room at the new address and a final walk-through before the crew leaves.
Why choose us
Same-week local slots are the norm; a narrow one-hour arrival window or a weekend completion date is best booked a few days ahead so the right crew can be held. South Croydon (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in CR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in South Croydon, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, which is what a 47% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering South Croydon actually produces.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover apply to every booking. Crews are DBS-checked where a managed building requires it before the lift slot is confirmed.
Two movers as standard, three where a Victorian stair turn, a heavy item or a tight completion-day schedule makes the extra pair of hands worth the hourly cost. Steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local crew, two movers, per hour | £58 | Min. 2 hrs | The base rate for a two-person crew already working your borough, which cuts the empty-mileage cost a crew from further out would otherwise pass on. |
| Local crew, three movers, per hour | £82 | Min. 2 hrs | A third mover is worth booking wherever a Victorian half-turn stair or a heavy item makes a two-person carry slow rather than dangerous. |
| Studio or one-bed, fixed local rate | £220 | 3–4 hrs | A same-borough crew already knows the building and the parking, so a studio move is quoted as a fixed job rather than an open-ended hourly clock. |
| Two-bed flat, fixed local rate | £360 | 4–6 hrs | Includes a booked lift slot or stairwell carry where the block needs one, arranged by the crew before arrival. |
| Arrival-window guarantee, narrow slot | £25 | One-off | Standard bookings arrive within a two-hour window; a one-hour window costs more because it commits a specific crew rather than the next available one. |
| Parking bay suspension arranged locally | At cost | 3–10 working days' notice | A local crew already knows which streets in the borough need one and books it through the same council process rather than discovering the need on the day. |

Thankyou to Nicole and Marius and colleagues for a superb clean of our family home.

Working in South Croydon
In South Croydon (CR2) the split is 47% flats to 53% houses over 3,637 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 30% of South Croydon is privately rented and 10% socially rented, a lot of CR2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
South Croydon substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in South Croydon, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, which is what a 47% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering South Croydon actually produces is the mistake that costs a CR2 customer twice.
South Croydon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — victorian and Edwardian streets on the hill above the town, with Selsdon beyond — which is why a CR2 quote is not a Croydon average.
Steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out. Nearest station is South Croydon (Southern), and two movers as standard, three where a Victorian stair turn, a heavy item or a tight completion-day schedule makes the extra pair of hands worth the hourly cost.
