Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your EC4 collection address on City of London bookings. If the job takes two hours and ten minutes you pay for two and a half — we bill in 30-minute blocks after the minimum rather than rounding a whole hour on the streets near Blackfriars Bridge and the Thames-spanning station, with 48% of EC4 homes being privately rented.

Yes. Lifting is the job, not an extra. One mover handles boxes, mattresses, flat-pack and most single items with a trolley; for a wardrobe, a sofa bed or anything going above the first floor in Blackfriars, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and 48% of EC4 homes being privately rented, with City of London parking rules in play.

Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across City of London and can usually get a van to Blackfriars within a few hours for a single item or a small load on this side of City of London — and City of London parking rules in play, with this being City of London Corporation territory.
