FLAT REMOVALS · HAVERING

Flat Removals in Havering

Havering is a house borough with a flat centre. Most of its flats stand in Romford, apartments near the station and the market, and flats above the shopping streets with entrances round the back, while the rest of the borough’s flat moves are maisonettes in Harold Hill and Elm Park and conversions in the older houses. This page plans both kinds: the rates, the entrances and stairs that shape the carry, and the controlled-street parking that Romford centre adds.

The borough-wide picture sits on our removals in Havering page, and whole houses on house removals in Havering. Every flat move is confirmed in a written, itemised quote before you book, tell us the floor, the lift or stair route and which entrance is yours when you enquire.

Most one and two-bed flats book the two-man crew. In a house borough, the floor charge is often the whole access story: £5 for each floor the carry climbs by stairs, at either address, itemised in writing before you book.

These hourly rates are for house-to-house removals within London: every hour is charged at the same published rate, £85 an hour for a two-man Luton crew, the same rate from the first hour to the last. Office and commercial moves are priced in a written quote.

Your exact price is confirmed in a written quote once we know the access at both addresses.

What the card means in total

Flats sit in the table’s first rows: studios and one-bed flats in Romford centre, and two-bed maisonettes in Harold Hill and Elm Park. The floor charge, £5 for each floor the carry climbs by stairs at either address, is the only usual addition, and it is itemised in the written quote.

Property size	Typical crew and hours	Typical total
Studio	Driver Help, 2 hours (the minimum booking)	from £140
1-bed home	2 Men, 2 to 3 hours	£170 to £255
2-bed home	2 Men, 4 to 6 hours	£340 to £510
3-bed home	3 Men, 5 to 7 hours	£500 to £700
4-bed and larger	3 Men, 6 to 8 hours	£600 to £800

Three kinds of flat move

The flats we move in Havering

Romford town-centre apartments

The newer blocks around the station and the market: lifts, and in the managed buildings a booked lift slot and move rules to work inside. The streets below are the borough’s busiest and much of the centre is controlled parking, so the loading point is part of the plan from the start.

Flats above the shopping streets

Romford’s older pattern: a flat over a shop, reached by a side or rear entrance and a private stair, while the high street trades below. The move is planned around the entrance that is actually yours and the hours the shop needs its access, confirmed before the day, never negotiated outside the shop door.

Maisonettes and conversions

Harold Hill and Elm Park maisonettes with their own doors and stairs, and flats converted from older houses in Hornchurch and Gidea Park with a shared hall. No concierge and no lift to book: the stair carry, the shared entrance and the street outside set these moves, and large pieces are measured against the tightest turn at quote stage.

Name the entrance. Front, side or rear, above-shop flats especially. The crew goes to the door in the plan, not the door on the high street.
Give the floor and the route. Lift or stairs, and how many flights, that fixes the crew and the floor charges in the quote.
Share the building’s rules if it has them. Lift bookings, move windows and check-ins in managed blocks are settled at quote stage; a missed slot is a rescheduled move.
Packing, if you want it. A part pack of the kitchen and fragile contents is the usual flat booking, with materials at published prices, boxes £5 each, wrap £15, tape £10 a roll. See packing services in Romford.

Parking, explained

Parking for a flat move: a Romford centre question

Outside the centre, a Havering flat move rarely meets a parking form: maisonette streets load from the kerb and most blocks stand on unrestricted roads. In Romford centre, around the station, the market and the shopping streets, the van may have to stand in a marked bay on a controlled street, and that takes a suspension from Havering Council.

The council charges by duration: £70 per day per bay for seven days or less; a higher daily rate per bay for eight to fourteen days, shown on the council’s own page; and £195 per day per bay beyond fourteen days. Applications need at least five working days. One caveat from the council’s page: the suspension route is presented for utility and street-work companies, so for a household move ask about the dispensation route as well. You apply and pay the council directly; we supply the vehicle registrations and confirm which route your address needs at quote stage.

Content updated October 2026. Official sources for this page: Havering Council (parking bay suspensions: the charges by duration, the five-working-day application lead time, and the dispensation route for household moves). Council charges checked against the council’s published pages in October 2026.

Booking terms: the short version

No deposit to book. Your quote is valid for 7 days, and you can cancel without charge up to 24 hours before the move; cancellation within 24 hours may incur a charge of up to 25% of the quoted price. Payment is taken at the time of service. If the move runs beyond the quoted hours, the extra time is charged at your crew’s hourly rate as shown at booking. Loading, unloading and carrying are included, plus dismantling and reassembly where booked in advance. Packing and packing materials are not included unless booked and listed on your quote. Council parking charges, where a suspension or dispensation is needed, are the council’s: you apply and pay the council directly.

Questions and answers

Flat Removals in Havering: FAQs

How much do flat removals cost in Havering?

Flat crews are charged by the hour on our published card: Driver Help £70 an hour; 2 Men £85 an hour; 3 Men £100 an hour, with a two-hour minimum booking, plus £5 for each floor where the carry is by stairs. As an illustration, a one-bed flat moved over three hours on a two-man crew comes to £255 for the crew, plus any floor charges. Your exact price is confirmed in a written quote once we know the floor, the lift or stair route and the loading point.

We have a flat above a shop in Romford, how does the move work?

The entrance and the loading point decide it. Flats above the shopping streets are usually reached by a side or rear entrance rather than the shopfront, up a private stair, and the streets below are the borough’s busiest and much of the centre is controlled parking. Tell us which entrance is yours, your floor, and any times the shop below needs its access kept clear, and where the van can stand is confirmed before the day, with a council arrangement where the street needs one.

Are maisonette stairs charged extra?

Stairs are charged at £5 for each floor above ground at either address where the carry is by stairs, itemised in your written quote before you book, a first-floor maisonette in Harold Hill or Elm Park adds £5 at that end. Where a lift serves the floor there is no charge, and the ground floor is always £0. Maisonettes otherwise move like small houses: own front door, street loading, no building timetable.

Do Romford’s newer blocks need the lift booked?

The managed blocks around the station and the town centre generally do: a booked lift slot, sometimes a set move window and a check-in with the building team or concierge. Share the building name and its move rules when you enquire, book the slot for the time in your quote, and the crew works inside it. Smaller blocks and conversions have no such rules, the stairs and the street set those moves instead.

Do we need a parking suspension for a flat move in Romford centre?

Where the van has to stand in a marked bay on a controlled street, usually yes. Havering Council charges £70 per day per bay for seven days or less, a higher daily rate for eight to fourteen days (shown on the council’s page), and £195 per day per bay beyond fourteen days, with applications at least five working days ahead. The council presents its suspension route for utility and street-work companies, so for a household move ask about its dispensation route too. You apply and pay the council directly; we supply the registrations and confirm what your street needs at quote stage. Maisonette streets and blocks with their own loading space usually need nothing.

How long does a flat move take?

A studio or one-bed flat on a two-man crew typically takes 2 to 3 hours; a two-bed flat or maisonette 4 to 6 hours. The floor and the carry set the pace: a third-floor Romford flat with no lift runs longer than a ground-floor maisonette with its own front door. Your written quote states the hours it is built on, and time beyond them runs at the same published rate for your crew.

Can you pack the flat for us?

Yes: a part pack of the kitchen and fragile contents is the usual flat booking, or a full pack of the whole flat, agreed and itemised in your written quote. Materials are charged at published prices: boxes £5 each, wrap £15, tape £10 a roll.

Do you dismantle and reassemble furniture?

Yes: beds and flat-pack furniture can be dismantled and rebuilt when that is agreed in your written quote. Mention the pieces that need it when you enquire (wardrobes and bed frames are the usual ones) and the time is built into the quote rather than improvised on the day.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing.

Is a deposit needed, and when do we pay?

There is no deposit to book, and payment is taken at the time of service. Your quote is valid for 7 days from the date it is issued. You can cancel without charge up to 24 hours before the move; cancellation within 24 hours may incur a charge of up to 25% of the quoted price.
