Quick answer
How much do Canning Town removals cost?
Canning Town has been rebuilt around its station, with towers at Hallsville Quarter and along the Lea, and the Royal Docks and ExCeL to the east. The jobs are new flats with a concierge and a lift slot.
Canning Town removals often involve new-build apartments, service lifts, loading bays, concierge rules and fast routes to Canary Wharf or Stratford.
We plan lift slots, loading bays, parking, furniture dismantling and property protection before moving day.
Email postcodes, floor levels, parking notes and photos of bulky items. We will tell you the right van and crew before you book.
- No ULEZ charge: it is never added to your bill.
- Access: we check Canning Town road width and parking rules before the day.
- Bay suspensions: Bays here are run by Newham Council. We tell you which one to suspend and for how long, so the van is at the door.
- Prices: published hourly rates, whole-hour booking. Stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour and shown in the quote, never added on the day.

Yes. The concierge sets the slot and we arrange it.
Yes. If your move crosses the river we confirm how that is handled on the quote.
A small van with a driver is £55/hr, with a 2-hour minimum (£110). The same van with two people is £75/hr (2-hour minimum, £150), and a Luton with three people is £130/hr (3-hour minimum, £390). You book whole hours, and if the job overruns the extra time is billed in 30-minute steps. Mileage is charged one way, from collection to delivery, and stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour. There is no weekend, evening, bank holiday or ULEZ premium and no deposit. How long it takes depends on your items, the walk from the van at E16, and the stairs or lifts. We plan lift slots, loading bays, parking, furniture dismantling and property protection before moving day. Email both postcodes and some photos and we price it.
Yes. Walk-ups, conversions and lift blocks across Canning Town and Canary Wharf are all part of the job, and we staff the crew for the number of flights. Stairs cost £10 per person on the crew, per flight, for each hour at that address. A floor counts as 2 flights, the ground floor is free, and a working lift removes the charge. It is written into the quote so nothing is added on the day. Photos of the stair turns, your sofa and the parking help us see whether anything has to come apart.
By the hour at the published rates. You book whole hours, at least 2 for a small van and 3 for a Luton, and any overrun is billed in 30-minute steps. Mileage is charged one way and stairs are charged per flight. Send photos, a list of items, both postcodes, floor levels and parking notes, and we reply with the van, the crew and how many hours to book. A move towards Canary Wharf, or anywhere else in the UK, is priced the same way.
Yes: full packing, kitchen-only packing or fragile wrapping, with materials and room labels. A one-bedroom home is £400 and a two-bedroom home £600, labour and materials included. Many people pack their clothes themselves and leave the breakables to us. Send a few photos of the rooms and we suggest the lightest option that still protects your glass, mirrors and kitchen things.
Yes. Every booking carries £10,000 goods in transit cover, with blankets and straps for furniture. Mention valuable or very fragile items before collection. If your landlord or building manager in Canning Town wants proof of cover, we send it once the booking is confirmed.
Yes: sofas, wardrobes, beds, appliances, desks and Marketplace finds. If a piece might not fit the stairs or the lift, send photos and we check whether it can be dismantled or brought in another way before the day. We set it down in the room you choose where access allows. We plan lift slots, loading bays, parking, furniture dismantling and property protection before moving day.
