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. Very steep streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station.
Dedicated vans usually need seven to ten days' notice; part loads depend on the next van scheduled to that country, typically within a fortnight. Honor Oak Park (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE23 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SE23, with solid brick on the party and external walls — where 53% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SE23, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SE23, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — the pattern behind 3,683 households inside the SE23 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.

Expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SE23, with solid brick on the party and external walls — where 53% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SE23.
