The service, locally
Long distance moves from Southwark priced by formula
Long distance moves from Southwark — all 14 areas, to anywhere in the UK. A long distance removal out of Southwark 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. Central London loads pay their motorway toll in minutes rather than miles: getting out of the zone is the slow part, and we plan the departure slot around it.

How it works
Three steps and a price that holds
Send both postcodes and the Southwark home size
Where you are leaving in Southwark, 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 M1, M4 and the M25, 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 Southwark home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Southwark 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 Southwark 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. Southwark 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 Southwark'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 Southwark 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 Southwark what the load looks like
South-bank riverfront and Borough Market at the top, Peckham and Dulwich villages at the bottom. London's medieval overspill of inns and theatres, then wharves and warehouses; the riverside was rebuilt for offices and flats from the 1990s. For a long-distance load that history matters twice: it decides the housing stock the crew has to carry through — riverside warehouse conversions, huge estates like the aylesbury, victorian terraces and dulwich's detached villas. — and it decides how the lorry leaves. Riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the New Kent Road and CPZs from SE1 to Peckham. Once loaded, M1, M4 and the M25 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: M1, M4 and the M25
Central London loads pay their motorway toll in minutes rather than miles: getting out of the zone is the slow part, and we plan the departure slot around it.

Riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the New Kent Road and CPZs from SE1 to Peckham. Where the lorry cannot legally stand outside, we arrange a bay suspension with London Borough of Southwark and show the fee as its own line rather than folding it into the price.
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.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover apply for the whole journey, not just the London end. Higher-value single items — a piano, a safe, an antique — are declared at survey and priced with the extra crew and equipment they need.

4.5 ★ from 3,131 Trustpilot reviewsVery good experience. House was filthy after lots of building works and previous owners not really looking after it (the bathroom was disgusting). After 4 hours of cleaning my house looks like a brand new home and smells clean again, no more dust/rubble and the bathroom looks so clean I could eat off the floor… Read in full →
Wanted a one off deep clean. The team were extremely thorough and I could not find anything that missed. Cleaned to a high standard and were very patient with us as I had to hold up their work while I moved boxes around due the my house move.
First time buyers so wanted to get a good start in our new home, Nicole and Marius did a fantastic job cleaning, they got to every little part of the house and left us very happy with the end results. Highly recommend them.
