The service, locally
Long distance moves from Surrey Quays SE16
We move households out of Surrey Quays SE16 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 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 Surrey Quays home size
Where you are leaving in Surrey Quays, 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 Surrey Quays home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Surrey Quays 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 Surrey Quays 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. Surrey Quays 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 Surrey Quays 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 Surrey Quays SE16
Retail park, Greenland Dock moorings and quiet dockland streets. Greenland Dock anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Surrey Quays (Overground). Housing here is 1980s and 1990s dockland houses and low-rise flats, plus new riverside towers. — 76% of homes in Surrey Quays are flats and 40.7% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Surrey Quays are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Wide estate roads with parking bays, but gated developments need codes and lift slots. 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 reviewsI hired hello service for my move from London to Leicester. 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
