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. Market delivery windows before 09:00, railway-arch streets and booked goods lifts in the towers.
Dedicated vans usually need seven to ten days' notice; part loads depend on the next van scheduled to that country, typically within a fortnight. London Bridge (Northern, Jubilee, National Rail) is the nearest station, so a SE1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE1, often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around Borough Market in SE1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 4,532 households inside the SE1 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.

That shuttle time is quoted up front rather than discovered on the day on this side of Southwark.
