The service, locally
Long distance moves from Croydon priced by formula
Long distance moves from Croydon — all 10 areas, to anywhere in the UK. A long distance removal out of Croydon is two numbers and nothing else: the crew hours it takes to empty your home and the road miles to the new one, at £65 an hour and £1.50 a mile. South London runs cross the M25 first, so the mileage half of the sum is genuinely longer to the north — we quote the real road distance, not a straight line.

How it works
Three steps and a price that holds
Send both postcodes and the Croydon home size
Where you are leaving in Croydon, 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 M25, M3 and M20, 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
Lorry on the driveway, tail lift to the door, load and go. The same team that empties your Croydon home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Croydon 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 Croydon 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. Croydon 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.
Driveway loading in Croydon
Off-street parking is the best start a long-distance move can have. The tail lift goes down at your door, the crew works in a straight line, and the baseline load hours in the formula genuinely hold.
Transparent mileage pricing
Long distance prices from Croydon the sum, not just the total
The formula
£65/hour crew time + £1.50/road mile
One hour loading and one hour unloading are included as the baseline. Every price below is that sum with your numbers in it.

About the area
Moving out of Croydon what the load looks like
A town in its own right — office towers and trams in the centre, Purley and Coulsdon's downland suburbs to the south. An archbishop's manor and market town that became a 1960s office boom city with the Croydon Corporation Act towers. For a long-distance load that history matters twice: it decides the housing stock the crew has to carry through — 1930s semis, victorian terraces in thornton heath, tower blocks and converted office buildings in the centre. — and it decides how the lorry leaves. Tram-track loading limits in the centre, steep Purley hills and wide suburban roads with driveways elsewhere. Once loaded, M25, M3 and M20 carry the run north or west, and the mileage from that junction is what you are actually paying £1.50 a mile for.
Getting out of London: M25, M3 and M20
South London runs cross the M25 first, so the mileage half of the sum is genuinely longer to the north — we quote the real road distance, not a straight line.

Tram-track loading limits in the centre, steep Purley hills and wide suburban roads with driveways elsewhere. Where the lorry cannot legally stand outside, we arrange a bay suspension with London Borough of Croydon and show the fee as its own line rather than folding it into the price.
Yes. Full packing is a published add-on from £180 including materials and labour, priced from the room count. Most long-distance customers take it for the kitchen and the fragiles and pack their own clothes.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover apply for the whole journey, not just the London end. Higher-value single items — a piano, a safe, an antique — are declared at survey and priced with the extra crew and equipment they need.
