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
We expect solid London stock brick in TW9, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages in TW9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in TW9, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 4,163 households inside the TW9 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.
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 streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages.
Dedicated vans usually need seven to ten days' notice; part loads depend on the next van scheduled to that country, typically within a fortnight. Kew Gardens (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a TW9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
