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
Dedicated vans usually need seven to ten days' notice; part loads depend on the next van scheduled to that country, typically within a fortnight. Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a EC2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, measured on the walk in from Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map in EC2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Moorgate stock goes, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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.
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. Congestion Charge, weekday loading windows before 10:00, and building managers who require insurance documents.

Scope
My daughter and her friend employed hello services to move the contents of their flat in Stevenage to their new flat in London. They arrived a little early to ensure they were ready to start at 9am The flat was at the top of the three story block of flats and the three of them… Read in full →
Booked them for one Bed Flat move from Hammersmith to Epsom. They packed all my stuff and loaded in less than 2 hours. I was also able to travel in the van to the destination. Thanks to Alan and his colleague. Forgot his name.
We had a good experience with this company for our move from London to Spain. Everything went well. They also helped us with our move out clean.

Working in Moorgate
4,914 households sit inside the EC2 neighbourhood covering Moorgate. The build is recent new-build, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 98% of those homes are flats.
With 48% private renting against 37% owner-occupied, most EC2 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Moorgate substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, measured on the walk in from Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Moorgate stock goes, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a EC2 customer twice.
Moorgate sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — office core around Finsbury Circus and Liverpool Street, with a small resident population above the shops — which is why a EC2 quote is not a City of London average.
Congestion Charge, weekday loading windows before 10:00, and building managers who require insurance documents. Nearest station is Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line), and 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.

Studio or one-bed to France or Belgium starts at £745 in Moorgate on EC2 jobs, with 48% of EC2 homes being privately rented — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume, distance and overnights. A northern-France run is one crossing and one overnight; Spain or Italy is a second driver rest period and double the road miles across EC2, with 2% of Moorgate homes being houses.
A two-bed on a dedicated van starts at £945 and a part load from £95 per cubic metre in Moorgate, with Finsbury Circus Gardens a few streets away. 50 a road mile, with the crossing and the driver overnight shown as their own lines on City of London bookings, with 2% of Moorgate homes being houses.
Yes, and where City of London Corporation controls the frontage we arrange the bay suspension in advance on the streets near Finsbury Circus Gardens, with 4,914 households on this patch. A European load takes longer at the kerb than a local move across EC2 — and 37% owner-occupation locally, with 51% one-person households here, so an unbooked bay in Moorgate is the one thing that can cost a morning.
For EC2 bookings, 98% of homes here are flats, with 37% owner-occupation locally, so we book the lift, protect the communal areas and shuttle to the van if it cannot park at the door on City of London bookings — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood. That shuttle time is quoted up front rather than discovered on the day in this 98% flats neighbourhood. It works the same way on every Moorgate (EC2) booking.
Seven to ten days for a dedicated van; part loads run to the next van scheduled for that country on the streets near Finsbury Circus Gardens, with City of London parking rules in play. 37% of Moorgate homes are owner-occupied, with 98% of homes here being flats, and completion dates are the usual reason to hold a dedicated slot rather than wait for a share across EC2.
Congestion Charge, weekday loading windows before 10:00, and building managers who require insurance documents on the Moorgate rounds. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in City of London Corporation it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on City of London bookings — and 2% of Moorgate homes being houses, with Finsbury Circus Gardens a few streets away.
Goods in transit and public liability cover run for the whole journey on EC2 jobs, with 37% owner-occupation locally, and the written inventory doubles as the customs list required at the border. That paperwork is what most City of London letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near Finsbury Circus Gardens, with 15% social-rented stock nearby.
