How it works
Three steps and a price that holds
Free video survey
Walk us round your Thamesmead home on your phone — every room, the loft, the garage and the shed counted, not estimated.
Fixed written quote
Crew, lorry, packing, Royal Borough of Greenwich permits and ULEZ all inside one figure, back the same working day. No doorstep re-quote.
Moving day, handled
On-street lorry loading with a suspended bay. Floors and doorframes protected, furniture dismantled and rebuilt, keys-to-keys around your completion time.
Why us
Why Thamesmead families book us and recommend us
The video-survey price is the price
Your quote is built from what we saw on the survey, in writing. It does not change when the crew sees the stairs on the morning of your Thamesmead move.
Crews trained for full-house volumes
Lofts, garages, sheds, garden furniture, pianos and the awkward wardrobe on the top landing are in the plan and in the price, not discovered at 4pm.
Insured, DBS-checked, completion-aware
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover on every move, crews vetted, and written delay terms for the day the chain runs late.
Bay-window and winder-stair experience in Thamesmead's terraces
Victorian and Edwardian halls turn twice before the first landing, so the awkward pieces are measured at the video survey, dismantled where they must be, and a bay is suspended outside the door rather than a sofa carried sixty metres.

About the place
Moving house in Thamesmead what it actually involves
In this corner of Greenwich, Thamesmead is brutalist canals and lakes, now under one of london's biggest regeneration programmes. Housing is 1960s concrete deck-access blocks, new low-rise housing and terraces. so a house removal here usually means loft hatches, garden furniture and a bed frame that has to come apart. Deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads.

Questions
House removals in Thamesmead answered
5-tonne lorry for six to nine hours. Volume, packing and access move the figure, with 53% of Thamesmead homes being houses, which is why we quote after a free video survey rather than guessing in this 47% flats neighbourhood.
Book provisionally four to six weeks out and confirm the moment contracts exchange on Greenwich bookings. We hold a Thamesmead date on a provisional booking without charge on the Thamesmead rounds, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory — and 53% of Thamesmead homes being houses, then lock crew and lorry to your completion day as soon as your solicitor confirms.
We wait. If keys are late the crew stays loaded and charges waiting time at the rate stated in your quote; if release slips to the next day the lorry is secured overnight for an agreed fee across SE28 — and 47% of homes here being flats, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. Delay terms are written down before you book, not improvised in SE28 on the streets near Southmere Lake.
Yes. A full packing service covers every room the day before on the Thamesmead rounds, with 7,133 households on this patch, or choose fragile-only packing for kitchens, glass and artwork. Wardrobe boxes, export wrap and materials are delivered to your Thamesmead address in advance either way for Thamesmead (SE28) addresses, with 29% one-person households here.
Dismantle and reassemble is standard on a full house move — beds, wardrobes, tables, cots and flat-pack units come apart, travel protected and go back together in the right rooms at the new address before the crew leaves on Greenwich bookings — and 29% one-person households here, with 53% of Thamesmead homes being houses.
Every Thamesmead move carries goods-in-transit and public liability insurance on the Thamesmead rounds, and the crews are DBS-checked. Higher-value items — pianos, art, antiques — are declared at the video survey so cover is confirmed in writing before moving day on SE28 jobs, with 53% of Thamesmead homes being houses.
We do. Royal Borough of Greenwich suspensions and dispensations are applied for by us with the council fee shown in your quote on Greenwich bookings, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory — and this being a short walk from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) and Plumstead (Southeastern), so the lorry stands legally outside the door instead of adding a long carry to your bill. Royal Borough of Greenwich rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
Yes — every street in SE28 and the rest of Greenwich on the streets near Southmere Lake. 5% houses and access means on-street lorry loading with a suspended bay, both of which we plan for before quoting across SE28, with Southmere Lake a few streets away.

Really pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw! Nothing got broken and even though they were working on an hourly rate they were really efficient, not to waste any time.
