The service, locally
Long distance moves from Romford RM1
Leaving Romford 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 Havering 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 Romford home size
Where you are leaving in Romford, 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 M11 and A12, 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 Romford home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Romford 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 Romford 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. Romford 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 Romford 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 Romford RM1
Market town turned regional centre — the market, the Brewery and a growing skyline. Romford Market anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Romford (Elizabeth line). Housing here is new town-centre towers, victorian terraces and interwar semis beyond. — 31.8% of homes in Romford are flats and 22.7% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Romford are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Ring-road one-way system, market-day closures and booked lifts in the new blocks. East London loads use the M11 and A12 to reach the M25 and then the M1 or A1(M), adding orbital miles that we count in the quote rather than hide.

Questions
Long distance moves from Romford 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 RM1, so a 2-bed is £440 and a 3-bed £570. They are comfortable same-day runs with the unload finished by late afternoon.
Ring-road one-way system, market-day closures and booked lifts in the new blocks. A booked goods lift keeps the hours predictable, provided the slot is confirmed — an unbooked lift is how a two-hour load becomes four.
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. 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.
M11 and A12. East London loads use the M11 and A12 to reach the M25 and then the M1 or A1(M), adding orbital miles that we count in the quote rather than hide. We quote the real road distance from RM1, which is usually a few miles more than a map's straight line.
Yes. The team that loads in Romford 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.
