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
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. Narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures.
Dedicated vans usually need seven to ten days' notice; part loads depend on the next van scheduled to that country, typically within a fortnight. Hackney Wick (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hackney Wick, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Hackney Wick (Overground) rather than assumed from a map in E9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Hackney Wick gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

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 Hackney Wick
2,805 households sit inside the E9 neighbourhood covering Hackney Wick. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 69% of those homes are flats.
The social-housing-led mix here (28% owned, 28% privately rented) means a E9 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hackney Wick, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Hackney Wick (Overground) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Hackney Wick is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Hackney Wick gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Canal-side studios and warehouse blocks facing the Olympic Park. That character decides the practical detail of european removals here far more than the borough boundary does. Hackney Wick is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures. Hackney Wick (Overground) is the nearest station, 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 Hackney Wick for Hackney Wick (E9) addresses, with 28% owner-occupation locally — and 31% of Hackney Wick 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 on Hackney bookings, with 31% one-person households here.
A two-bed on a dedicated van starts at £945 and a part load from £95 per cubic metre for Hackney Wick (E9) addresses, with 69% of homes here being flats. 50 a road mile, with the crossing and the driver overnight shown as their own lines on the Hackney Wick rounds, with Hackney parking rules in play.
Yes, and where London Borough of Hackney controls the frontage we arrange the bay suspension in advance on the Hackney Wick rounds, with 69% of homes here being flats. A European load takes longer at the kerb than a local move for Hackney Wick (E9) addresses — and 45% social-rented stock nearby, with this being London Borough of Hackney territory, so an unbooked bay in Hackney Wick is the one thing that can cost a morning.
69% of homes here are flats, with 2,805 households on this patch — and this being a short walk from Hackney Wick (Overground), so we book the lift, protect the communal areas and shuttle to the van if it cannot park at the door in Hackney Wick. That shuttle time is quoted up front rather than discovered on the day on Hackney bookings.
Seven to ten days for a dedicated van; part loads run to the next van scheduled for that country on E9 jobs, with The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park a few streets away. 28% of Hackney Wick homes are owner-occupied, with 28% of E9 homes being privately rented, and completion dates are the usual reason to hold a dedicated slot rather than wait for a share on the streets near The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Customs duties or import taxes levied by the destination country; Storage at either end in Hackney Wick — and 28% of E9 homes being privately rented, with this being a short walk from Hackney Wick (Overground), which is quoted separately by the week; Disconnection of gas appliances or dismantling of fitted kitchens. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Hackney Wick E9 price you agree is the price you pay on Hackney bookings, with 28% of E9 homes being privately rented.
All three. With 28% of Hackney Wick privately rented and 28% owner-occupied, roughly half the E9 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Hackney bookings — and The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park a few streets away, with this being a short walk from Hackney Wick (Overground).
