The service, locally
Long distance moves from Limehouse E14
Long distance removals from Limehouse start where every honest quote starts — how long the load takes in E14, and how many road miles sit between here and the new address. 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 Limehouse home size
Where you are leaving in Limehouse, 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 Limehouse home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Limehouse 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 Limehouse 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. Limehouse 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 Limehouse
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 Limehouse E14
Basin marina, Narrow Street's riverside houses and canal moorings. Limehouse Basin anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Limehouse (DLR, c2c). Housing here is warehouse conversions, marina apartments and georgian riverside houses. — 82.6% of homes in Limehouse are flats and 32.1% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Limehouse are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Narrow Street is single-track with no turning; marina blocks need gate codes and lift booking. 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.

Questions
Long distance moves from Limehouse answered
A 1-bed is £430, a 2-bed £560 and a 3-bed £690. Those are the formula, not a guess: crew hours at £65 plus 200 road miles at £1.50.
Both are around 120 road miles from E14, so a 2-bed is £440 and a 3-bed £570. They are comfortable same-day runs with the unload finished by late afternoon.
Narrow Street is single-track with no turning; marina blocks need gate codes and lift booking. 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.
The baseline is one hour loading and one hour unloading for a 1-bed, four crew hours in total for a 2-bed and six for a 3-bed. 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.
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. We quote the real road distance from E14, which is usually a few miles more than a map's straight line.
Yes. The team that loads in Limehouse is the team that unloads at the far end — no depot transfer, no shared lorry, no third party you have never met carrying your bed up someone else's stairs.
