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. Hornchurch (District) is the nearest station, so a RM12 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, which is why London Borough of Havering kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in RM12, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Hornchurch stock goes, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Driveways almost everywhere; 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 Hornchurch
In Hornchurch (RM12) the split is 29% flats to 71% houses over 10,631 households, and the stock is inter-war.
Because 16% of Hornchurch is privately rented and 17% socially rented, a lot of RM12 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Hornchurch substrates run to cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, which is why London Borough of Havering kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Hornchurch stock goes, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a RM12 customer twice.
Hornchurch 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 — a long high street, the Queen's Theatre and streets of interwar semis — which is why a RM12 quote is not a Havering average.
Driveways almost everywhere; the high street has timed loading only. Nearest station is Hornchurch (District), 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.

Yes, and where London Borough of Havering controls the frontage we arrange the bay suspension in advance on the streets near The Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch, with The Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch a few streets away. A European load takes longer at the kerb than a local move across RM12 — and 29% of homes here being flats, with 16% of RM12 homes being privately rented, so an unbooked bay in Hornchurch is the one thing that can cost a morning.
29% of homes here are flats, with 10,631 households on this patch — and 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 Hornchurch (District). That shuttle time is quoted up front rather than discovered on the day on RM12 jobs.
Seven to ten days for a dedicated van; part loads run to the next van scheduled for that country in this 29% flats neighbourhood, with The Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch a few streets away. 67% of Hornchurch homes are owner-occupied, with 16% of RM12 homes being privately rented, and completion dates are the usual reason to hold a dedicated slot rather than wait for a share on Havering bookings.
Customs duties or import taxes levied by the destination country; Storage at either end for Hornchurch (RM12) addresses — and this being London Borough of Havering territory, with 28% one-person households here, 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 Hornchurch RM12 price you agree is the price you pay on the Hornchurch rounds, with 10,631 households on this patch.
All three. With 16% of Hornchurch privately rented and 67% owner-occupied, roughly half the RM12 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across RM12 — and Havering parking rules in play, with this being London Borough of Havering territory.
