Long distance moves from Canada Water SE16
Leaving Canada Water 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 Southwark 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 Canada Water home size
Where you are leaving in Canada Water, 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
Booked goods lift and loading bay, trolleyed to the tail lift. The same team that empties your Canada Water home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Canada Water 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 Canada Water 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. Canada Water 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 Canada Water 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 Canada Water SE16
Dock, library and the biggest regeneration site in south-east London. Canada Water Library anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Canada Water (Jubilee, Overground). Housing here is new apartment blocks with concierge, 1990s dockland houses and estate blocks. — 90.1% of homes in Canada Water are flats and 32.8% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Canada Water are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Construction diversions, estate loading bays and mandatory lift booking in new blocks. 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.

Very good experience. House was filthy after lots of building works and previous owners not really looking after it (the bathroom was disgusting).

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.
