Long distance moves from Woolwich SE18
Leaving Woolwich 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 booked goods lift keeps the hours predictable, provided the slot is confirmed — an unbooked lift is how a two-hour load becomes four. It is the same formula in Greenwich 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 Woolwich home size
Where you are leaving in Woolwich, 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
Booked goods lift and loading bay, trolleyed to the tail lift. The same team that empties your Woolwich home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Woolwich 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 Woolwich 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. Woolwich 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.
Goods lift and bay slots in Woolwich blocks
Managed blocks want the lift booked and the bay reserved, usually with 48 hours' notice. Tell us the building at quote stage and we work to the slot, so the crew hours you are charged are the hours you were quoted.

About the area
Moving out of Woolwich SE18
The Arsenal's converted barracks, a market town centre and the ferry across the river. The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR). Housing here is arsenal conversions, new riverside towers and post-war estate blocks. — 63.1% of homes in Woolwich are flats and 25.3% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Woolwich are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers. 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.
