Everything we do

Removal services in Croydon

Grouped by what you are moving out of rather than by service name, because in this borough the building type predicts the job better than the label does.

Not sure which you are? Describe the property and we will work it out.

Before the van

Packing and materials, settled at survey.

CR4

Packing

Full, partial or materials only

Packing to whatever depth you want. On a tower move it matters more than usual: everything has to survive a corridor, a lift and a loading bay rather than a straight walk to the kerb.

What it involves →

Houses

Ground-level access, where the gradient and the approach decide the day.

CR0

House removals

Terraces, semis and Downs villas

A whole household anywhere in the borough. What changes between a Thornton Heath terrace and a Sanderstead detached is the approach and the gradient, not the furniture, and the survey looks at both.

What it involves →

Blocks

Lifts, bays and building permissions — the town-centre pattern.

CR1

Flat and tower moves

Lifts, bays and building rules

Croydon has more tall buildings than most English cities, and a move out of one is a negotiation with the building before it is a job for a van: lift bookings, bay times and a concierge who needs notice.

What it involves →

Small jobs

Rooms, part-loads and the gaps between two addresses.

CR2

Man and van

Rooms, part-loads, single items

Two crew and a van for a room out of a shared house, a single heavy piece, or a part-load that has to clear by a certain day. The most-booked job across CR0 and CR7.

What it involves →
CR3

Storage

Held between two addresses

Goods collected, listed and held while dates settle. Croydon's rental churn and its long buying chains both produce the same gap, and holding the goods is nearly always cheaper than improvising round it.

What it involves →

Business

Offices, units and stock, scheduled around a lease.

CR5

Office moves

Town-centre floors and units

Commercial work around the town centre office blocks, Purley Way's retail and industrial units, and the smaller studio space across the borough — scheduled around a lease and a goods lift.

How the figure is worked out

Four inputs, and urgency is not one of them. Volume, meaning what is actually being moved — measured on site, not estimated from how many bedrooms the place has. Access at both ends, which here means the lift, the steps and the parking. Packing depth. And whether anything is held between dates.

That also makes quotes comparable. Before comparing two quotes, check they were built on the same measured volume and the same packing depth. They often are not. A cheaper quote that expects you to pack the kitchen is not cheaper.

There are no prices anywhere on this site and no transit times on the European pages, because neither is knowable before a survey. Start on the quote form, or read the questions page.

Tell us the district and the floor

The two addresses, what is moving, and what sits between your front door and the road. We read it, ask what the form could not, and come back with a written quote.
