How it works
Three steps and a price that holds
Free video survey
Walk us round your Hackney Central home on your phone — every room, the loft, the garage and the shed counted, not estimated.
Fixed written quote
Crew, lorry, packing, London Borough of Hackney 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 Hackney Central 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 Hackney Central 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 Hackney Central'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.

Questions
House removals in Hackney Central answered
5-tonne lorry for six to nine hours. Volume, packing and access move the figure, with this being a short walk from Hackney Central (Overground), which is why we quote after a free video survey rather than guessing around Hackney Central (Overground).
Book provisionally four to six weeks out and confirm the moment contracts exchange on this side of Hackney. We hold a Hackney Central date on a provisional booking without charge across E8, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood — and 3,679 households on this patch, 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 in this 87% flats neighbourhood — and Hackney parking rules in play, with 13% of Hackney Central homes being houses. Delay terms are written down before you book, not improvised in E8 around Hackney Central (Overground).
Yes. A full packing service covers every room the day before across E8, with 35% social-rented stock nearby, or choose fragile-only packing for kitchens, glass and artwork. Wardrobe boxes, export wrap and materials are delivered to your Hackney Central address in advance either way around Hackney Central (Overground), with 3,679 households on this patch.
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 in this 87% flats neighbourhood — and 35% social-rented stock nearby, with 13% of Hackney Central homes being houses.
Every Hackney Central move carries goods-in-transit and public liability insurance on Hackney bookings, 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 in this 87% flats neighbourhood, with 35% social-rented stock nearby.
We do. London Borough of Hackney suspensions and dispensations are applied for by us with the council fee shown in your quote on E8 jobs — and 13% of Hackney Central homes being houses, with this being a short walk from Hackney Central (Overground), so the lorry stands legally outside the door instead of adding a long carry to your bill.
Yes — every street in E8, E9 and the rest of Hackney in this 87% flats neighbourhood. 2% houses and access means on-street lorry loading with a suspended bay, both of which we plan for before quoting on this side of Hackney, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.

Really pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw!
