How it works
Three steps and a price that holds
Free video survey
Walk us round your Custom House 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 Newham 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 Custom House 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 Custom House 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 Custom House'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 Custom House what it actually involves
Custom House is regeneration streets between the docks and canning town, transformed by the elizabeth line. Housing here runs to new-build flats, 1960s estate maisonettes and terraced housing. which is why a full house move in E16 is measured by hallway width and stair turns rather than mileage. Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Landmark to aim the lorry at: Custom House station and Victoria Dock.

Questions
House removals in Custom House answered
A 3 bed house removal in Custom House, E16, starts at £690 including VAT — a three-man crew and a 7.5-tonne lorry for six to nine hours. Volume, packing and access move the figure, which is why we quote after a free video survey rather than guessing.
Book provisionally four to six weeks out and confirm the moment contracts exchange. We hold a Custom House date on a provisional booking without charge, 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. Delay terms are written down before you book, not improvised in E16.
Yes. A full packing service covers every room the day before, or choose fragile-only packing for kitchens, glass and artwork. Wardrobe boxes, export wrap and materials are delivered to your Custom House address in advance either way.
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.
Every Custom House move carries goods-in-transit and public liability insurance, 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.
We do. London Borough of Newham suspensions and dispensations are applied for by us with the council fee shown in your quote, so the lorry stands legally outside the door instead of adding a long carry to your bill.
Yes — every street in E16 and the rest of Newham. Local homes are 49.6% houses and access means on-street lorry loading with a suspended bay, both of which we plan for before quoting.
