The service, locally
Long distance moves from New Cross SE14
We move households out of New Cross SE14 to Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Scotland every month, on the same transparent mileage pricing as every other London postcode. 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 kerbside load adds walking distance rather than lifting, so the honest variable is how far the lorry can legally stand from your door. It is the same formula in Lewisham 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 New Cross home size
Where you are leaving in New Cross, 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 New Cross home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why New Cross 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 New Cross 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. New Cross 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 New Cross'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.

About the area
Moving out of New Cross SE14
Goldsmiths' campus, the Venue and student-heavy Victorian streets. Goldsmiths, University of London anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is New Cross (Overground, Southeastern). Housing here is victorian terraces in shared use, student halls and post-war estates. — 73.3% of homes in New Cross are flats and 34.3% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of New Cross are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. September student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets. 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 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.
