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. Estate permits from Canary Wharf Management, booked goods lifts and loading docks below ground.
Dedicated vans usually need seven to ten days' notice; part loads depend on the next van scheduled to that country, typically within a fortnight. Canary Wharf (Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in E14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the pattern behind 3,528 households inside the E14 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.

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.

Working in Canary Wharf
The E14 stock around One Canada Square is recent new-build. ONS records 98% flats, 2% houses and 3,528 households in Canary Wharf.
Owner-occupation runs at 27% in Canary Wharf, so alongside the 59% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Canary Wharf is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the pattern behind 3,528 households inside the E14 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows Canary Wharf knows the pattern near One Canada Square: tower cluster of banks, malls and high-rise apartments on the old West India Docks. We plan the E14 visit around it. Canary Wharf sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: estate permits from Canary Wharf Management, booked goods lifts and loading docks below ground. Canary Wharf (Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, 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.

Studio or one-bed to France or Belgium starts at £745 in Canary Wharf on Tower Hamlets bookings — and One Canada Square a few streets away, with 2% of Canary Wharf homes being houses, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume, distance and overnights. A northern-France run is one crossing and one overnight; Spain or Italy is a second driver rest period and double the road miles on E14 jobs, with 59% of E14 homes being privately rented.
A two-bed on a dedicated van starts at £945 and a part load from £95 per cubic metre on this side of Tower Hamlets, with this being London Borough of Tower Hamlets territory. 50 a road mile, with the crossing and the driver overnight shown as their own lines on E14 jobs, with a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood.
Yes, and where London Borough of Tower Hamlets controls the frontage we arrange the bay suspension in advance on this side of Tower Hamlets, with One Canada Square a few streets away. A European load takes longer at the kerb than a local move across E14 — and this being a short walk from Canary Wharf (Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR), with 2% of Canary Wharf homes being houses, so an unbooked bay in Canary Wharf is the one thing that can cost a morning.
98% of homes here are flats, with 59% of E14 homes being privately rented — and this being London Borough of Tower Hamlets territory, so we book the lift, protect the communal areas and shuttle to the van if it cannot park at the door on the Canary Wharf rounds. That shuttle time is quoted up front rather than discovered on the day on E14 jobs.
Seven to ten days for a dedicated van; part loads run to the next van scheduled for that country on Tower Hamlets bookings, with One Canada Square a few streets away. 27% of Canary Wharf homes are owner-occupied, with 2% of Canary Wharf homes being houses, and completion dates are the usual reason to hold a dedicated slot rather than wait for a share on the streets near One Canada Square.
All three. With 59% of Canary Wharf privately rented and 27% owner-occupied, roughly half the E14 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on E14 jobs — and 15% social-rented stock nearby, with 41% one-person households here.
One Canada Square is the marker we route to on this side of Tower Hamlets, with Tower Hamlets parking rules in play, and estate permits from Canary Wharf Management, booked goods lifts and loading docks below ground. A E14 slot added to an existing Tower Hamlets round usually lands the same week rather than the next in Canary Wharf, with 41% one-person households here.
