Long distance moves from Stepney E1
Leaving Stepney 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 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 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 Stepney home size
Where you are leaving in Stepney, 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 Stepney home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Stepney 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 Stepney 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. Stepney 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 Stepney'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 Stepney E1
Green squares, Victorian terraces and the Ocean estate east of Whitechapel. St Dunstan's Church, Stepney anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Stepney Green (District, Hammersmith & City). Housing here is victorian terraces, ocean estate blocks and new housing-association flats. — 78.3% of homes in Stepney are flats and 26.2% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Stepney are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Narrow terraced streets, estate parking permits and stair-only access in low-rise 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).
