Not here? Email us or ask Giga in the chat, 8am to 10pm, seven days.
£55 an hour with a Small Transit and driver (2-hour minimum, £110), £75 an hour with a 2-person crew (2-hour minimum, £150), or £130 an hour for a Luton Box Van with a 3-person crew (3-hour minimum, £390). Bookings are in whole hours; overruns are charged in 30-minute steps. Insurance, blankets and straps are included, with no weekend or ULEZ premium. Mileage is charged one way (from £1.20 a mile in a Small Transit), and stairs are £10 per person per flight for each hour at the address when there is no working lift, all shown before you book. Email postcodes, photos and floor levels and we will confirm driver only or a crew.
Often, when a crew is free. Same-day suits student rooms, Marketplace sofas, storage runs and part-loads across IG1 to IG6; fuller moves need more notice. Support runs 8am–10pm, seven days a week, and late afternoons go first. Email both postcodes, a photo list, stairs or lift notes and parking details. If today is full we will offer the next open slot.
Yes. IG1 Ilford town, IG2 Newbury Park and Cranbrook, IG3 Seven Kings and Goodmayes, IG4 Redbridge borders, IG5 Clayhall and Hainault, and IG6 Barkingside and Fairlop are all covered, as are moves from Ilford to elsewhere in London or the UK. Mileage is charged one way, collection to delivery. Town-centre CPZ streets may need a suspension; outer IG driveways often do not. Email the exact roads and we will match the van to the load.
Yes. On driver-only jobs the driver helps load and unload within safe limits, which suits packed boxes and driveway loading. Add a crew for walk-up flats, heavy sofas, fridge-freezers or a long carry from the bay. Booking too light a crew usually costs more in overrun time. Send photos of the largest items and your floor level and we will say whether driver only at £55 an hour or a 2-person crew at £75 an hour is better value.
A Small Transit (350 cu ft) suits student rooms, studios and single items. A Transit LWB (500 cu ft) covers most one-bed flats. Wardrobes, corner sofas or several bulky pieces point to a Luton Box Van (700 cu ft). Photos beat “it is only a small flat”, especially in IG1 walk-ups. Email pictures of your largest items and we will recommend the van before you book.
Yes. Ilford man and van bookings include £10,000 goods in transit cover, plus blankets and straps, whether you are moving between IG addresses or across the UK. Declare antiques, TVs or fragile glass before collection. If a landlord or concierge wants proof of cover, we send the documents with your confirmation.
