How it works

Three steps and a price that holds

  1. Tell us about your Gants Hill move

    Rooms, dates and both addresses — plus photos of anything awkward if they are easy to take. Two minutes online or one call, and we already know Gants Hill (IG2).

  2. Fixed written quote

    Back the same working day with Redbridge parking suspensions, dispensations, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge already inside the number. No doorstep re-quote.

  3. Access sorted, then we move you

    We count the stairs, measure the turns and note the landings, because a Gants Hill walk-up is priced on flights and doorframes, not on optimism. On the day, floors, doorframes and communal halls are protected, furniture is dismantled and reassembled, and everything is insured in transit.

Why us

Why Gants Hill books us and stays booked

Fixed quotes that include Redbridge permits

Redbridge parking suspensions, dispensations, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge are inside the written number before you commit — the price you accept for IG2 is the price you pay.

Crews who already know the roads

Two and three-man teams who load in Gants Hill most weeks: blankets, straps and trolleys on every van, floors and communal halls protected as standard.

Insured on every job

Goods-in-transit and public liability cover, DBS-checked movers, and certificates emailed to you or your Redbridge building manager before the day.

Walk-ups and small block lifts in Gants Hill

Period conversions and mansion flats rarely have a lift that takes a wardrobe. We plan the carry, protect the communal stairs and hall, and tell you honestly if a piece has to come apart or go out through a window.

About the place

Moving in Gants Hill what it actually involves

Most of Gants Hill reads the way its streets were built: the Moscow-style station rotunda, a busy roundabout and mansion flats around it. The stock is 1930s semis with drives, mansion blocks and purpose-built flats. which decides how a move runs here — what comes apart, what goes down the stairs and how long the carry is. For a van, the roundabout is hard to load from; residential roads have driveways. Gants Hill is the nearest station, and we quote local removals across IG2 on those facts rather than an average.

Four weeks before — book and confirm

  • Confirm the move date, arrival window and both addresses in writing for your Gants Hill IG2 move.
  • Match the van size to the property type — 1930s semis with drives, mansion blocks and purpose-built flats.
  • Ask London Borough of Redbridge whether your street needs a parking dispensation or a suspended bay, and what notice it wants.
  • ULEZ applies across all London boroughs — check the van is compliant and the charge is inside your quote.
  • Tell your landlord or agent the exact handover date and key-return time.
  • Book the end-of-tenancy or pre-move-in clean for the day either side of the move.
  • Start running down freezer food, cleaning products and anything that cannot legally travel in the van.

Two weeks before — permits, lifts and paperwork

  • Apply for the London Borough of Redbridge bay suspension or dispensation — most London councils want 5–10 working days.
  • Book the lift, loading bay or service entrance with the building manager if your block has one.
  • Access reality to plan around: The roundabout is hard to load from; residential roads have driveways.
  • Redirect post and update the IG2 address on the electoral roll, bank, insurance and driving licence.
  • Give energy, water, broadband and council tax the closing and opening dates for both properties.
  • Register with a new GP, dentist and vet if you are leaving the area; arrange school or nursery transfers.

One week before — pack room by room

  • Label every box with the destination room, not the room it came from.
  • Pack a first-night box: kettle, mugs, chargers, bedding, toilet roll, medication, tools.
  • Photograph the back of the TV and any flat-pack before you dismantle it.
  • Drain the washing machine and fit its transit bolts.
  • Take paint, oils, batteries and garden waste to a London Borough of Redbridge reuse and recycling centre — the crew cannot legally load them.
  • Set aside passports, valuables and jewellery to travel with you, not in the van.

The day before — final prep

  • Charge phones and keep a paper copy of the crew's number and the new address.
  • Defrost the fridge-freezer and towel it dry.
  • Take meter readings at the old property and photograph them.
  • Hold the loading space with cones or bins if kerb space near Gants Hill station's Moscow-inspired concourse is tight on the day.
  • Strip the beds you are taking and bag bedding and clothes.
  • Reconfirm the arrival window with the crew and the key-collection time with the agent.

Moving day — loading

  • Walk the crew through the property first and flag fragile and do-not-load items.
  • Protect carpets, stair noses, communal halls and door frames before the first box moves.
  • Load heavy furniture first, boxes second, soft furnishings last.
  • Keep the first-night box, paperwork and keys with you rather than in the van.
  • Check lofts, sheds, gardens, balconies and every cupboard before the van pulls away.
  • Final meter readings, lock up, hand back keys and get the handover confirmed in writing.

Moving day — unloading and sign-off

  • Direct each box to its labelled room as it comes off the van.
  • Build the beds first so the day can end even if boxes are still packed.
  • Test the boiler, hot water, smoke alarms and the consumer unit.
  • Take arrival meter readings and photograph them.
  • Check items against your inventory and report any damage before the crew leaves.
  • Flatten boxes and book a recycling collection or a clearance slot.
