Overview

How it works
Step 1
A walk-through call fixes the inventory and the van size, so the crossing is booked against a real volume.
Step 2
Crew hours, road miles, crossing, tolls and overnights on separate lines — no single opaque figure.
Step 3
Export-grade cartons and edge protection, because a European run is days of road vibration, not an hour across town.
Step 4
The same crew drives the load; you get progress updates and a delivery window as the run progresses.
Step 5
Furniture placed room by room at the destination, cartons unpacked if that was booked, packaging taken away.
Why choose us
Two crew travel with the load for a dedicated van; part loads are consolidated at our depot and delivered by the driver running that route. Wide roads with driveways; the riverside industrial roads carry heavy traffic.
Dedicated vans usually need seven to ten days' notice; part loads depend on the next van scheduled to that country, typically within a fortnight. Belvedere (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA17 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in DA17, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — with 20% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Goods in transit and public liability cover run for the whole journey, and the written inventory doubles as the customs list required at the border.
