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 Honor Oak job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Lewisham bay reality and any charges confirmed by message. No deposit, no doorstep re-quote.
We load, drive and carry it in
Kerbside loading in a permit bay, short carry to the van. Blankets, straps and a trolley come as standard, and the clock stops when the last item is inside.
Why us
Why Honor Oak 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 Honor Oak 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.
Kerbside loading on Honor Oak's terraced streets
Most Honor Oak jobs are decided by where the van can legally stand. We check the bay and the restriction hours before your slot, park as close as the signs allow, and keep the carry short so the clock is spent lifting rather than walking.

Hourly rates include VAT, fuel, blankets, straps, a trolley and the driver's lifting help. Charging starts when the crew arrives at your collection address and stops when the last item is inside — travel between the two addresses is inside the hourly rate, and Congestion Charge and ULEZ are quoted up front, never added afterwards. Two-hour minimum.
- Parking outside your SE23 door is checked against London Borough of Lewisham bay hours before the slot — a legal space is a shorter carry and a shorter bill.
- ULEZ is quoted with the hourly rate and never appears as an extra at the end.
- Access here: Very steep streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station.

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 Honor Oak, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop around Honor Oak Park (Overground) — and Lewisham parking rules in play, with 30% one-person households here.
