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. Concierge sign-in, booked goods lifts and estate loading bays on the riverside blocks.
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. Imperial Wharf (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SW6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and with 36% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SW6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — with 27% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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. |

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.
