Send both addresses, your moving date and a list or photos of the load. We confirm the van, crew and availability before your booking is agreed.
From £60/hour · 2 hour minimum · Availability confirmed personallyRemovals in Forest Gate and East Ham
We cover Forest Gate, Upton Park, Green Street, Manor Park, Little Ilford, West Ham, Plaistow and East Ham. For a shop or seller collection, agree when the goods will be ready and who will hand them over.
Upstairs furniture and flats above shops
Send the residential entrance if it differs from the shop address. For a house move, list which pieces are upstairs and measure narrow landings or hallway turns. Tell us in advance about furniture that needs dismantling, and have appliances safely disconnected before collection.
Parking and loading in Forest Gate and East Ham
Check the signs at the actual loading point and ask the building manager about private loading areas. If you need a council bay reserved, use the relevant authority’s current guidance below. Arrangements, charges and required notice vary; book any permission before the moving day.
Parking information, if needed
Check which authority manages your exact street. A postcode district or neighbourhood name does not establish parking permission, and private estate access may need separate approval. Council parking costs are separate from our van estimate.
