How it works
Three steps and a rate that holds
Send the load and both postcodes
A photo, a list or a marketplace link is enough. We size the van and decide whether your South Harrow job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Harrow bay reality and any charges confirmed by message. No deposit, no doorstep re-quote.
We load, drive and carry it in
Booked goods lift and loading bay, trolley all the way in. Blankets, straps and a trolley come as standard, and the clock stops when the last item is inside.
Why us
Why South Harrow books our vans and books them again
The hourly rate is the whole rate
£45 for one mover, £65 for two, VAT and fuel inside it. Nothing is added for blankets, straps, the trolley or the drive between your two South Harrow addresses.
Billed in half hours, not rounded up
After the two-hour minimum we charge in 30-minute blocks. A job that runs fifteen minutes over costs fifteen minutes, not a whole extra hour.
Drivers who lift, insured and DBS-checked
Every van carries goods-in-transit and public liability cover, and the driver is part of the crew rather than someone who watches you carry a sofa.
Lift and loading-bay slots in South Harrow blocks
Managed blocks want the goods lift booked and the bay reserved. Tell us the building at quote stage and we work to the slot, with floor protection and a trolley, so nothing is carried past a concierge who was not expecting us.
