The service, locally
Long distance moves from South Bank and Waterloo SE1
We move households out of South Bank and Waterloo SE1 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 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 South Bank and Waterloo home size
Where you are leaving in South Bank and Waterloo, 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 South Bank and Waterloo home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why South Bank and Waterloo 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 South Bank and Waterloo 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. South Bank and Waterloo 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 South Bank and Waterloo'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 South Bank and Waterloo SE1
Cultural riverfront from the National Theatre to Tate Modern, with Waterloo's flats behind. The National Theatre and Tate Modern anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Waterloo (Jubilee, Northern, Bakerloo, National Rail). Housing here is post-war estates, converted office blocks and riverside apartments. — 94.3% of homes in South Bank and Waterloo are flats and 44.4% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of South Bank and Waterloo are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Riverside pedestrian zones, red routes on Stamford Street and event-day closures. 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.

4.5 ★ from 3,131 Trustpilot reviewsWanted 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.
