Long distance moves from Gants Hill IG2
Leaving Gants Hill 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. Stairs are the single biggest driver of crew hours on a long-distance job — a third-floor walk-up can add two billed hours before a wheel turns. It is the same formula in Redbridge 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 Gants Hill home size
Where you are leaving in Gants Hill, 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
Communal stairs carried by hand before the lorry leaves London. The same team that empties your Gants Hill home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Gants Hill 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 Gants Hill 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. Gants Hill 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.
Stairs and conversions in Gants Hill
Half-landings and 1890s doorways decide the load hours long before the motorway does. We ask for the floor and the stair type at survey, then price the hours honestly rather than discovering them on the day.

About the area
Moving out of Gants Hill IG2
The Moscow-style station rotunda, a busy roundabout and mansion flats around it. Gants Hill station's Moscow-inspired concourse anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Gants Hill (Central). Housing here is 1930s semis with drives, mansion blocks and purpose-built flats. — 30.2% of homes in Gants Hill are flats and 32.4% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Gants Hill are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. The roundabout is hard to load from; residential roads have driveways. 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.

I recommend them as best as movers compare to other companies, so I won't be worry for my next move as thinking the difficulty of house removals. I appreciate for their hard working, friendship and taking care all my belonging.
It’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.
We used them for our house move in Kingston. Abdullah and his colleague were very friendly and polite. They did an outstanding job
