Long distance moves from Covent Garden WC2
Leaving Covent Garden 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 Westminster 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 Covent Garden home size
Where you are leaving in Covent Garden, 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 Covent Garden home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Covent Garden 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 Covent Garden 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. Covent Garden 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 Covent Garden
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 Covent Garden WC2
Piazza, opera house and theatre-land streets with flats above the shops. The Royal Opera House anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Covent Garden (Piccadilly). Housing here is upper-floor flats above retail, seven dials conversions and small mansion blocks. — 94.9% of homes in Covent Garden are flats and 43.5% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Covent Garden are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Pedestrianised piazza with timed vehicle access only, and narrow stairs above shops. 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.
