Why us
Why South Bank and Waterloo 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 South Bank and Waterloo 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 South Bank and Waterloo'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 South Bank and Waterloo answered
A 3 bed house removal in South Bank and Waterloo, SE1, 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 South Bank and Waterloo 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 SE1.
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 South Bank and Waterloo 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 South Bank and Waterloo 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 Southwark 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 SE1 and the rest of Southwark. Local homes are 5.6% houses and access means on-street lorry loading with a suspended bay, both of which we plan for before quoting.
