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 loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets.
Dedicated vans usually need seven to ten days' notice; part loads depend on the next van scheduled to that country, typically within a fortnight. Battersea Power Station (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SW11, 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 — measured on the walk in from Battersea Power Station (Northern) rather than assumed from a map.
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.
