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 suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading.
Dedicated vans usually need seven to ten days' notice; part loads depend on the next van scheduled to that country, typically within a fortnight. Romford (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a RM5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Collier Row actually produces in RM5, 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 on these streets — the pattern behind 3,167 households inside the RM5 neighbourhood.
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.

| Part load, per cubic metre | £95 | By schedule | Shared space on a van already running the route — the cheapest option if the date can flex. |
| Crew and mileage rate | £65/hr + £1.50/mile | Itemised | How every bespoke quote is built, so you can see what the crossing and the miles cost. |

Working in Collier Row
Census 2021 puts Collier Row at 3,167 households with a median age of 38.9. The post-war stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 88% houses and 12% flats need different handling in RM5.
Owner-occupation runs at 74% in Collier Row, so alongside the 14% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Collier Row actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Collier Row is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the pattern behind 3,167 households inside the RM5 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows Collier Row knows the pattern near Collier Row Lane parade: a large residential suburb north of Romford with its own shopping parade. We plan the RM5 visit around it. Collier Row is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
