Questions & answers
Frequently asked.
Everything people around Camberwell usually want to know before they book — the local moves, the tricky staircases, storage, and the run across to Europe.
Do you cover all of Camberwell and SE5?
Yes — the whole of SE5 is home turf. Camberwell Green, Church Street, Denmark Hill, Camberwell Grove, Myatt's Fields and everything between. We also cover the neighbouring parts of south London: Peckham, Walworth, Herne Hill, East Dulwich, Brixton and Dulwich.
Can you handle a Georgian townhouse with no lift?
That is a big part of what we do here. The houses on Camberwell Grove and the surrounding conservation streets are tall, narrow and stair-heavy. We plan the carry order, protect the stairs and bannisters, and bring enough crew so nobody is rushing a wardrobe down four flights.
What about parking on a narrow terraced street?
We look at access before the day. Where the street is tight or permit-controlled, we can arrange a parking-bay suspension with the council so the van sits close to your door. It saves a long carry and keeps the move moving.
Do you do small jobs, or just full house moves?
Both. A full four-bed removal or a single wardrobe over to Peckham — we scale the crew and van to the job. For smaller loads our man-and-van option is usually the sensible choice.
Can you move my studio and my flat in one go?
Yes, and we do it often — Camberwell has a lot of artists and makers near the College. We pack canvases, framed work, records and instruments properly, and can combine a studio clear-out with a home move in a single booking where it fits.
Do you offer packing?
Full pack, part pack, or just the fragile things — your call. We can drop boxes and materials off ahead of the day, or turn up and pack the lot for you. Fragile and high-value items always get the proper wrapping.
Can you store my things if my dates do not line up?
Yes. If a chain slips or a completion date moves, we can hold your goods in a clean, secure store and bring them out when you are ready. It is also useful for European moves where collection and shipping do not meet neatly.
Do you move offices and shops as well as homes?
We do. Camberwell has plenty of small studios, consulting rooms and independent shops. We label by room or department, plan the lift around your trading hours where we can, and get you set up so you lose as little time as possible.
You mention Europe — where do you move to?
We run removals from Camberwell to France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, and we can quote for other European destinations. Whether it is a full home or a part-load consolidated with other moves on the same route, we handle the transport and the customs paperwork.
How does moving furniture to Europe work after Brexit?
Your used household goods can move to the EU, but there is now customs paperwork on both sides — a detailed inventory and the right transit and entry documents. We prepare these with you and explain what each one is for, so nothing is a surprise at the border.
How do you work out a quote?
It comes down to the volume of what is moving, the distance, and access at both ends — stairs, lifts, parking, that sort of thing. For anything sizeable we will do a quick video walk-round or visit so the written quote is accurate rather than a rough stab.
Are you insured?
Yes — goods-in-transit and public liability cover on every job, local or European. If you have anything unusually high in value, tell us at quote stage so we can make sure it is covered properly.
When can you move me?
We keep some flexibility for evenings and weekends, which suits people who cannot take a weekday off or businesses that want to move outside trading hours. Get in touch and we will find a slot that works — the sooner you ask, the more choice there is.
Do you move from East Dulwich and Peckham too?
Regularly. East Dulwich (SE22) around Lordship Lane and Peckham (SE15) around Rye Lane are next door — short, familiar runs. Same care and the same options as an SE5 move.
What do I need to do before moving day?
If we are packing, not much beyond telling us what stays and what goes. If you are packing yourself, have boxes sealed and labelled by room and set aside anything you want to carry personally. We will confirm parking and access with you in the plan stage.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the quote form with what is moving and the two addresses, or drop us a line. We will look it over and come back with a written quote — no obligation, and no pressure to book.
Still have a question?
Ask us directly — we're happy to talk it through, no obligation.
