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
Dedicated vans usually need seven to ten days' notice; part loads depend on the next van scheduled to that country, typically within a fortnight. Eltham (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and with 28% one-person households in Eltham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Eltham stock goes, the reality on the streets around Eltham Palace.
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. Driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only.

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 Eltham
13,732 households sit inside the SE9 neighbourhood covering Eltham. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 27% of those homes are flats.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (64% owned, 15% privately rented) means a SE9 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and with 28% one-person households in Eltham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Eltham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Eltham stock goes, the reality on the streets around Eltham Palace.
Eltham 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 — the medieval palace, Art Deco Eltham Palace and streets of 1930s semis — which is why a SE9 quote is not a Greenwich average.
On access, driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Eltham (Southeastern).

Studio or one-bed to France or Belgium starts at £745 in Eltham in this 27% flats neighbourhood, with 28% one-person households here — and 73% of Eltham homes being houses, 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 SE9, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood.
A two-bed on a dedicated van starts at £945 and a part load from £95 per cubic metre on SE9 jobs, with this being a short walk from Eltham (Southeastern). 50 a road mile, with the crossing and the driver overnight shown as their own lines on the Eltham rounds, with 15% of SE9 homes being privately rented.
Yes, and where Royal Borough of Greenwich controls the frontage we arrange the bay suspension in advance around Eltham (Southeastern), with 15% of SE9 homes being privately rented. A European load takes longer at the kerb than a local move across SE9, with this being a short walk from Eltham (Southeastern) — and 21% social-rented stock nearby, so an unbooked bay in Eltham is the one thing that can cost a morning.
27% of homes here are flats, with 28% one-person households here, so we book the lift, protect the communal areas and shuttle to the van if it cannot park at the door around Eltham (Southeastern) — and this being a short walk from Eltham (Southeastern). That shuttle time is quoted up front rather than discovered on the day in this 27% flats neighbourhood.
Seven to ten days for a dedicated van; part loads run to the next van scheduled for that country on SE9 jobs, with 21% social-rented stock nearby. 64% of Eltham homes are owner-occupied, with 73% of Eltham homes being houses, and completion dates are the usual reason to hold a dedicated slot rather than wait for a share around Eltham (Southeastern).
Driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only for Eltham (SE9) addresses. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Greenwich it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in Eltham — and 73% of Eltham homes being houses, with 13,732 households on this patch.
In Eltham, goods in transit and public liability cover run for the whole journey on this side of Greenwich, with 27% of homes here being flats, and the written inventory doubles as the customs list required at the border. That paperwork is what most Greenwich letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in this 27% flats neighbourhood, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory. Ask for it in writing before the SE9 visit and it is on the job sheet.
