Long distance moves from Bow E3
Leaving Bow 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 Tower Hamlets 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 Bow home size
Where you are leaving in Bow, 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
Communal stairs carried by hand before the lorry leaves London. The same team that empties your Bow home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Bow 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 Bow 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. Bow 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 Bow
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 Bow E3
Roman Road market, Bow Quarter's match-factory lofts and canal-side streets. Bow Quarter, the former Bryant and May match factory anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Bow Road (District, Hammersmith & City). Housing here is victorian terraces, factory-conversion lofts and post-war estates. — 84.5% of homes in Bow are flats and 30.7% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Bow are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Bow flyover red routes, market-day restrictions and gated conversion estates. 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.
