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. Driveways in the villa streets; gated developments need advance access codes and lift booking.
Dedicated vans usually need seven to ten days' notice; part loads depend on the next van scheduled to that country, typically within a fortnight. St John's Wood (Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a NW8 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in NW8, with metal stud partitions between rooms — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in NW8, 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 — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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 is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the fault we are called back to undo.
