The service, locally
Long distance moves from Lewisham priced by formula
Long distance moves from Lewisham — all 12 areas, to anywhere in the UK. A long distance removal out of Lewisham 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 Lewisham home size
Where you are leaving in Lewisham, 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
Kerbside load in a suspended bay, then straight onto the motorway. The same team that empties your Lewisham home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Lewisham 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 Lewisham 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. Lewisham 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 Lewisham'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.
Transparent mileage pricing
Long distance prices from Lewisham 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 Lewisham what the load looks like
Deptford's market and Victorian New Cross, hill villages at Blackheath and Forest Hill, and Catford's high street. Kentish villages absorbed by railways from the 1840s; Deptford's naval dockyard and Deptford Creek shaped its industrial edge. For a long-distance load that history matters twice: it decides the housing stock the crew has to carry through — victorian and edwardian terraces and conversions, 1960s catford estates and new lewisham town-centre towers. — and it decides how the lorry leaves. Steep hills at Honor Oak and Forest Hill, narrow terraced streets and expanding CPZs across SE4 and SE14. 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.

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.

4.5 ★ from 3,131 Trustpilot reviewsIt’s the second time we have been been using hello Services for our house move. They helped me with our move to storage and from storage to our new house. The moving team was very helpful and it was a superb service.
Had an above and beyond experience with our cleaners, Diana and Alex. They were honest, professional, friendly, and did an amazing job with what they were tasked with. When moving house I’d always assume that there would be the odd cupboard or bathroom that would be filthy, but not an entire 4 bedroom house like… Read in full →
Jose and Maria deep cleaned our new house from top to bottom. Polite and courteous, very hard working. The best decision we made to help us settle into our new home. Thank you :)
