Long distance moves from Sanderstead CR2
Leaving Sanderstead 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. Driveway access is the cheapest long-distance load in London: nothing is carried further than the tail lift, so the baseline hours usually hold. It is the same formula in Croydon 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 Sanderstead home size
Where you are leaving in Sanderstead, 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 Sanderstead home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Sanderstead 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 Sanderstead 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. Sanderstead 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 Sanderstead
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.

About the area
Moving out of Sanderstead CR2
Hilltop village with a green, a church and wide views over the downs. Sanderstead Pond and the Gruffy anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Sanderstead (Southern). Housing here is 1930s detached and semi-detached houses with drives and garages. — 15.3% of homes in Sanderstead are flats and 9.6% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Sanderstead are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Wide suburban roads and driveways; only the hill approaches are tight. 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.

4.5 ★ from 3,131 Trustpilot reviewsVery good experience. House was filthy after lots of building works and previous owners not really looking after it (the bathroom was disgusting). After 4 hours of cleaning my house looks like a brand new home and smells clean again, no more dust/rubble and the bathroom looks so clean I could eat off the floor… Read in full →
Wanted a one off deep clean. The team were extremely thorough and I could not find anything that missed. Cleaned to a high standard and were very patient with us as I had to hold up their work while I moved boxes around due the my house move.
First time buyers so wanted to get a good start in our new home, Nicole and Marius did a fantastic job cleaning, they got to every little part of the house and left us very happy with the end results. Highly recommend them.
