Before moving day, check whether your new street in Folkestone has parking restrictions, and let us know about narrow roads, steps or long carries so we bring the right vehicle.
Leaving London
London's ULEZ and Congestion Charge can add cost to a move, so we price them in from the start rather than adding them on the day.
Parking is often the hardest part of a London move. If your street has permit bays or yellow lines, a borough parking suspension keeps space free for the lorry on moving day.
