Arriving in 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.

For flats with lifts or concierge desks, let the building know your moving date and ask whether the lift needs to be reserved.

Leaving Margate

Margate is within easy reach of London, so even larger moves are usually completed comfortably in one day.

When leaving Margate, give your utility suppliers and council at least a week's notice, and tell us about any access issues such as steep drives, steps or no parking outside.
