Overview
This page prices moving van hire for Dagenham RM10 specifically: inter-war stock, 24% privately rented and 15,032 households in total. Work starts at £38, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Barking and Dagenham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Roughly how many rooms or items, and whether there are stairs at either end. That is enough to recommend a van size and a realistic hour count.
Step 2
Van size, minimum hours and any second loader shown as separate lines, plus ULEZ, Congestion Charge or a permit where the postcode needs one.
Step 3
The driver loads and straps the van themselves; a second loader, if booked, works alongside them from the same start time.
Step 4
Furniture and boxes carried in at the new address in the same order they came out, so nothing sits blocking a hallway.
Step 5
Billing runs to the minute past the minimum booking, with no rounding up to a full extra hour for a few minutes over.
Why choose us
One driver as standard on all three van sizes, with a second loader added by the hour where stairs, a lift booking or heavy furniture make a solo load impractical. Wide roads, driveways and easy access; the Heathway has short loading bays.
Same-day and next-day slots are common outside weekend peaks; weekend bookings are best made two to three days ahead in the busier boroughs. Dagenham Heathway (District) is the nearest station, so a RM10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is what a 24% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Dagenham actually produces in RM10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 15,032 households inside the RM10 neighbourhood.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover apply to every booking. Drivers are DBS-checked where a building requires it, and the vehicle's ULEZ and Congestion Charge compliance is confirmed before the job is booked.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small van and driver, per hour | £38 | Min. 2 hrs | A short wheelbase van fits a handful of boxes and small furniture — the lowest hourly rate because one driver loads alone. |
| LWB Transit-class van and driver, per hour | £48 | Min. 2 hrs | A long-wheelbase van takes a one-bed flat's furniture in a single trip, which is why it is the rate most bookings land on. |
| Luton with tail-lift and driver, per hour | £58 | Min. 2 hrs | The tail-lift removes the need to carry a washing machine or wardrobe down steps by hand, and the box body takes a two-bed load without a second run. |
| Second loader, per hour | £22 | Per hour worked | Optional labour on top of any van size — the driver alone can load light items, but wardrobes, sofas and stairs need a second pair of hands. |
| Each additional hour, any van | Same as base rate | 60 min | No new call-out charge for running over — the clock simply continues at the booked hourly rate. |
| Return trip to a second address same day | £25 | Per trip | Covers the extra mileage and time where a job needs a tip run, a storage drop or a second collection address. |

Scope
My daughter and her friend employed hello services to move the contents of their flat in Stevenage to their new flat in London. They arrived a little early to ensure they were ready to start at 9am The flat was at the top of the three story block of flats and the three of them… Read in full →
Booked them for one Bed Flat move from Hammersmith to Epsom. They packed all my stuff and loaded in less than 2 hours. I was also able to travel in the van to the destination. Thanks to Alan and his colleague. Forgot his name.
I hired hello service for my move from London to Leicester. I recommend them as best as movers compare to other companies, so I won't be worry for my next move as thinking the difficulty of house removals. I appreciate for their hard working, friendship and taking care all my belonging.

Small van and driver, per hour starts at £38 in Dagenham, with 76% of Dagenham homes being houses — and 24% of RM10 homes being privately rented, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Van size first, then whether a second loader is needed around Dagenham Heathway (District). A short wheelbase van suits a few items; a Luton with tail-lift is the rate most two-bed moves land on once the tail-lift's time saving on stairs is weighed against its higher hourly cost in this 24% flats neighbourhood — and 24% of homes here being flats, with 24% of RM10 homes being privately rented.
Most one-bed moves around The Ford Dagenham plant fit a long-wheelbase van at £48 an hour; a two-bed with a washing machine or a wardrobe usually goes better in a Luton with tail-lift at £58 an hour, since the lift saves carrying heavy items down steps by hand for Dagenham (RM10) addresses — and 15,032 households on this patch, with 24% of RM10 homes being privately rented.
London Borough of Barking and Dagenham runs controlled parking across much of Dagenham on the streets near The Ford Dagenham plant, with 24% of RM10 homes being privately rented — and this being London Borough of Barking and Dagenham territory, and loading a van from an unpermitted bay is exactly the situation a suspension is for. We check the street before booking and itemise a suspension only where it is genuinely needed for Dagenham (RM10) addresses, with The Ford Dagenham plant a few streets away.
Yes, a driver alone can manage boxes and light furniture on RM10 jobs, with 44% owner-occupation locally — and 31% social-rented stock nearby, but with 24% of homes here being flats, most bookings from an upper floor add a second loader at £22 an hour so a sofa or wardrobe on stairs does not slow the van down to a single item at a time.
For a small load, yes — you pay for driver and van time rather than a fixed whole-property quote on the Dagenham rounds, with this being London Borough of Barking and Dagenham territory. With 24% of Dagenham homes privately rented, a short-notice room or studio move is the typical booking that suits the hourly rate better than a full removal on Barking and Dagenham bookings — and 24% one-person households here, with 24% of RM10 homes being privately rented.
Same-day and next-day slots are common outside weekend peaks; weekend bookings are best made two to three days ahead in the busier boroughs on the streets near The Ford Dagenham plant, with 24% one-person households here.
