How it works
Three steps and a price that holds
Free video survey
Walk us round your Stepney 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 Tower Hamlets 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 Stepney 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 Stepney 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 Stepney'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 Stepney what it actually involves
Stepney is green squares, victorian terraces and the ocean estate east of whitechapel. Housing here runs to victorian terraces, ocean estate blocks and new housing-association flats. which is why a full house move in E1 is measured by hallway width and stair turns rather than mileage. Narrow terraced streets, estate parking permits and stair-only access in low-rise blocks. Landmark to aim the lorry at: St Dunstan's Church, Stepney.

Questions
House removals in Stepney answered
5-tonne lorry for six to nine hours. Volume, packing and access move the figure, with 23% owner-occupation locally, which is why we quote after a free video survey rather than guessing on Tower Hamlets bookings.
Book provisionally four to six weeks out and confirm the moment contracts exchange on E1 jobs. We hold a Stepney date on a provisional booking without charge on the Stepney rounds — and Tower Hamlets parking rules in play, with 78% of homes here being flats, 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 Stepney — and St Dunstan's Church, Stepney a few streets away, with 29% one-person households here. Delay terms are written down before you book, not improvised in E1 for Stepney (E1) addresses.
Yes. A full packing service covers every room the day before on the streets near St Dunstan's Church, Stepney, with this being a short walk from Stepney Green (District, Hammersmith & City), or choose fragile-only packing for kitchens, glass and artwork. Wardrobe boxes, export wrap and materials are delivered to your Stepney address in advance either way for Stepney (E1) addresses, with 26% of E1 homes being privately rented.
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 around Stepney Green (District, Hammersmith & City) — and 6,862 households on this patch, with Tower Hamlets parking rules in play.
Every Stepney move carries goods-in-transit and public liability insurance on E1 jobs, 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 this side of Tower Hamlets, with 26% of E1 homes being privately rented.
We do. London Borough of Tower Hamlets suspensions and dispensations are applied for by us with the council fee shown in your quote in Stepney, with 22% of Stepney homes being houses, so the lorry stands legally outside the door instead of adding a long carry to your bill.
Yes — every street in E1 and the rest of Tower Hamlets in this 78% flats neighbourhood. 6% houses and access means on-street lorry loading with a suspended bay, both of which we plan for before quoting on this side of Tower Hamlets, with a median age of 30 in this neighbourhood.

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.
