Long distance moves from Blackfriars EC4
Leaving Blackfriars for another part of the country is a long distance move, and it should be priced like one: a published sum rather than a phone call and a hunch. The sum is £65 per hour of crew time plus £1.50 per road mile, with an hour loading and an hour unloading included as the baseline. A kerbside load adds walking distance rather than lifting, so the honest variable is how far the lorry can legally stand from your door. It is the same formula in City of London as it is everywhere else we work — the only thing that changes is your address and your mileage.

How it works
Three steps and a price that holds
Send both postcodes and the Blackfriars home size
Where you are leaving in Blackfriars, where you are going, how many bedrooms and the floor you are on. That is the whole input — the formula does the rest.
See the sum, not just a total
We send the crew hours, the real road miles via M1, M4 and the M25, and the two multiplications that produce your fixed price. If you disagree with an input, we change the input, not the price.
One crew loads, drives and unloads
Kerbside load in a suspended bay, then straight onto the motorway. The same team that empties your Blackfriars home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Blackfriars moves with us over the long haul
The formula is published, not negotiated
£65 an hour of crew time plus £1.50 a road mile, printed on the page before you speak to anyone. Two people moving the same load out of Blackfriars on the same day pay the same price.
Mileage is measured, not estimated
We price the road distance the lorry actually drives, not a straight line on a map. Blackfriars to Manchester is 200 road miles and is charged as 200 — a 2-bed at £560, fixed.
One crew, one vehicle, door to door
Your load is never consolidated with another household's or dropped at a depot overnight. That is why our long-distance dates hold and our damage rate stays where it is.
Loading a long-distance lorry on Blackfriars's streets
We suspend or reserve the bay before the day so the lorry stands outside your door rather than three doors down. On a priced-by-the-hour load, kerb distance is money, and it is the part most quotes quietly ignore.

About the area
Moving out of Blackfriars EC4
Riverfront offices and legal quarter streets running up to Fleet Street. Blackfriars Bridge and the Thames-spanning station anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Blackfriars (Circle, District, Thameslink). Housing here is converted press buildings and small blocks in the temple fringe. — 98% of homes in Blackfriars are flats and 48.3% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Blackfriars are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Embankment red route with no stopping; access is via the side lanes with a permit. Central London loads pay their motorway toll in minutes rather than miles: getting out of the zone is the slow part, and we plan the departure slot around it.

Questions
Long distance moves from Blackfriars answered
A 1-bed is £430, a 2-bed £560 and a 3-bed £690. Those are the formula, not a guess: crew hours at £65 plus 200 road miles at £1.50.
Both are around 120 road miles from EC4, so a 2-bed is £440 and a 3-bed £570. They are comfortable same-day runs with the unload finished by late afternoon.
Embankment red route with no stopping; access is via the side lanes with a permit. A kerbside load adds walking distance rather than lifting, so the honest variable is how far the lorry can legally stand from your door.
The baseline is one hour loading and one hour unloading for a 1-bed, four crew hours in total for a 2-bed and six for a 3-bed. We suspend or reserve the bay before the day so the lorry stands outside your door rather than three doors down. On a priced-by-the-hour load, kerb distance is money, and it is the part most quotes quietly ignore.
M1, M4 and the M25. Central London loads pay their motorway toll in minutes rather than miles: getting out of the zone is the slow part, and we plan the departure slot around it. We quote the real road distance from EC4, which is usually a few miles more than a map's straight line.
Yes. The team that loads in Blackfriars is the team that unloads at the far end — no depot transfer, no shared lorry, no third party you have never met carrying your bed up someone else's stairs.
