Long distance moves from Royal Docks E16
Leaving Royal Docks 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 Newham 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 Royal Docks home size
Where you are leaving in Royal Docks, 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 Royal Docks home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Royal Docks 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 Royal Docks 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. Royal Docks 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 Royal Docks 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 Royal Docks E16
Water on three sides — ExCeL, the cable car and dockside apartment terraces. ExCeL London and the IFS Cloud Cable Car anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Royal Victoria (DLR). Housing here is dockside apartment blocks with concierge, plus new royal wharf townhouses. — 74.1% of homes in Royal Docks are flats and 37.6% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Royal Docks are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Event congestion around ExCeL, gated estates and mandatory lift booking. 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.
