HOUSE REMOVALS · BEXLEY

House Removals in Bexley

Bexley is a borough of homeowners’ streets. Its backbone is the 1930s semi, Bexleyheath, Welling, Blackfen and Barnehurst are built from them, with older, larger houses in Bexley village and Sidcup, Victorian terraces over towards Erith and Crayford, and the houses and maisonettes set among the blocks in Thamesmead and Abbey Wood. Most of it loads from a driveway, which makes the carry the easy half of the day; the real work is volume, and this page prices it.

Every move is confirmed in a written, itemised quote before you book. Our hours are Monday to Friday 7am–8pm, Saturday 8am–6pm and Sunday 9am–4pm. The borough-wide picture, districts, offices and parking, sits on our removals in Bexley page.

Quick answer

House removals in Bexley are charged by the hour on our published card: 2 Men £85 and 3 Men £100 an hour, Driver Help £70, with a two-hour minimum, so a two-bed house totals £340 to £510 and a three-bed semi £500 to £700. Most Bexley houses load from their own driveway and need no parking arrangement; the hours are set by volume, and in this borough that means the loft, the garage and the shed counted alongside the rooms.

Four kinds of house move

The houses we move in Bexley

The 1930s semi belt

Bexleyheath, Welling, Blackfen, Barnehurst and Albany Park: three-bed semis and detached houses with driveways, side access, garages and boarded lofts. Loading rarely needs arranging: the van stands on the drive or at the front. What sizes the day is everything beyond the rooms: the loft, the garage that has become a second store, the garden shed. The quote is built on that inventory, room by room and outbuilding by outbuilding.

Bexley village and Sidcup

The borough’s older and larger housing: period houses around the village centre, and the bigger family homes on Sidcup’s quieter streets towards Footscray and the Chislehurst side. More rooms, fuller lofts, bigger pieces that need measuring against halls and stairs. Driveways settle the loading, so these moves are planned inventory-first, usually on the three-man crew, and they are where downsizing splits, part to a new home, part to family and part into a storage unit booked in their own name, are most common.

Erith, Belvedere and Crayford

The riverside towns mix Victorian and Edwardian terraces with later family houses. Terraces load from the street, and some of the older streets sit within controlled parking near the town centres and stations, so the stopping point is confirmed before the day. Inside, the work is a conventional two-storey carry with the loft counted like any other room.

Thamesmead and Abbey Wood pockets

Houses and maisonettes set among the estates and blocks in the borough’s north-west corner. The property itself is moved like any other house; the planning is estate-shaped: where the van can stand, whether a parking court or shared area is involved, and any move rules the block or estate management sets. Tell us the layout when you enquire and the loading point is agreed before the day, not searched for on it.

What the card means in total

The same totals work on every Bexley page, from the same card: a two-bed terrace at £340 to £510 and a three-bed semi at £500 to £700 are the rows most house moves land on, before any floor charges. The crews are rated 5.0 on Google.

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

Basis: the published hourly card (Driver Help £70, 2 Men £85, 3 Men £100 an hour, two-hour minimum), checked October 2026. Totals are illustrations from the stated crew hours; your written quote confirms the total for your move.

Volume and timing

How long a Bexley house move takes, and what stretches it

2-bed terrace: typically 4–6 hours including travel within the borough
3-bed semi: most of a day, typically 6–8 hours once the loft and garage are counted
Larger houses: a full day on the three-man crew, sometimes split across two
The driveway is not the whole story: a sloped drive, a long front garden or a side path adds time to every trip between the van and the door, it is priced in at quote stage, not discovered on the day

To make the rates concrete, here is an illustration (not a quote): a three-bed semi in Sidcup, packed and ready, on the two-man crew, seven hours at £85 an hour comes to £595 for the crew. Your written quote replaces the illustration with your exact figures, including any council parking charge at either end.

Packing follows the same logic: a full pack of the whole house, or a part pack of the kitchen and fragile contents, agreed in your quote with materials at published prices, boxes £5 each, wrap £15, tape £10 a roll, and the outbuildings packed as their own groups. The detail sits on our packing services in Bexley page.

Parking, explained

Parking for a house move: simple at most houses, checked at the centres

Start with the honest general rule: at most Bexley houses, parking is the easiest part of the move. A driveway or space at the front takes the van, and nothing needs arranging with anyone.

Where it needs a check. On-street loading is a different matter around Bexleyheath town centre and the Broadway, and on the streets around the borough’s stations. Controlled parking operates in parts of these areas. Bexley Council publishes guideline charges for suspensions and dispensations: a suspension is based on £50 per bay per day or £150 per bay per week, and a dispensation is £25 per vehicle per day or £125 per week, with the exact cost confirmed on application. What your precise addresses need is confirmed at quote stage, before the date is fixed.

Our role. Tell us how the van can load at both addresses when you enquire. If an arrangement with the council is needed at either end, you apply and pay the council directly: we supply the vehicle registrations, confirm how much space the van needs, and plan the date so the arrangement is in place first. And check both addresses: the house you are leaving and the one you are arriving at can sit under different rules.

Booking terms: how your quote works

Your quote is confirmed in writing, with the scope itemised: crew size, vehicle, what is dismantled or packed, and parking. The price includes loading, unloading, carrying and protecting your furniture in transit, plus dismantling and reassembly where that is booked in advance. Packing and packing materials are not included unless they are booked and listed on your quote.

There is no deposit to book. Your quote is valid for 7 days. You can cancel without charge up to 24 hours before your move; cancellation within 24 hours of the move may incur a charge of up to 25% of the quoted price. Payment is taken at the time of service. Two things can change a price after booking: the move running beyond the hours in the quote, charged at your crew’s hourly rate as shown at booking, and council parking charges, which you apply for and pay the council directly as set out above.

Questions and answers

House Removals in Bexley: FAQs

How much do house removals cost in Bexley?

House crews are charged by the hour on our published card: 2 Men £85 an hour; 3 Men £100 an hour; Driver Help £70 an hour for smaller houses and part-moves, with a two-hour minimum booking and £5 for each floor where the carry is by stairs. As an illustration, a three-bed semi in Sidcup, packed and ready, on the two-man crew over seven hours comes to £595 for the crew. Your exact price is confirmed in a written quote once we know the volume, loft and garage included, and the loading at both addresses.

We have a 1930s semi in Bexleyheath or Welling: what do people underestimate?

The same thing as in every interwar suburb: the volume beyond the rooms. These semis were built with proper lofts and garages, and decades of family life fills both. A boarded loft, a garage used as a second store and a garden shed can together add a room of carrying to the day. List them separately when you enquire, flag anything that needs dismantling, and the crew and hours in your quote are sized on the whole property rather than the rooms you live in.

We are moving a larger house in Bexley village or Sidcup: how is it planned?

By inventory first, usually on the three-man crew over a full day. The village and the older Sidcup streets hold the borough’s biggest houses: more rooms, fuller lofts and garages, and larger pieces that need measuring against halls and stairs before the day. Most load from their own driveways, so the planning weight sits on the list, not the loading. Downsizing moves out of these houses, with one household splitting between a new home, family and a storage unit booked in their own name, are planned part by part in the same written quote.

We are moving from a house in Thamesmead or Abbey Wood: is that different?

The houses and maisonettes there sit among the blocks, so the move is planned like the surrounding estate: confirm where the van can stand, a parking court, a designated area or the street, and whether the estate or block management has rules about move times or shared areas. Tell us the layout of the estate and your floor if the property is a maisonette, and the plan is built on the real loading point rather than the postcode.

Do you pack, and what do materials cost?

Yes: a full pack of the whole house, or a part pack of the kitchen and fragile contents, agreed and itemised in your written quote. Materials are charged at published prices: boxes £5 each, wrap £15, tape £10 a roll. On Bexley’s semi streets the packing list usually runs beyond the rooms: loft, garage and garden store are packed as their own groups so tools and stored items stay together.

Do we need to arrange parking for a house move in Bexley, and what does it cost?

Houses with driveways usually need nothing: the van loads on the drive or right outside the front. Where the van has to wait on-street, most often around Bexleyheath town centre, the Broadway and the station streets, Bexley Council publishes guideline charges: a suspension is based on £50 per bay per day or £150 per bay per week (at least three working days’ notice), and a dispensation is £25 per vehicle per day or £125 per week (at least one working day’s notice), with the exact cost confirmed on application. If an arrangement is needed, you apply and pay the council directly; we supply the vehicle registrations and confirm how much space the van needs.

Can part of the house go into storage as part of the move?

Yes. Downsizing moves out of Bexley’s larger houses often split three ways: the new home, family, and a storage unit. The unit is booked by you, in your own name, with the operator you choose; we transport the storage load, load and stack the unit, and can collect and redeliver it later as a separate booked run. Our written quote covers the transport; the unit’s rent is your own arrangement with the operator.

Do you dismantle and reassemble furniture?

Yes, where it is agreed in your written quote: beds, wardrobes and flat-pack pieces are the usual items. Name the pieces when you enquire, and the time is built into the quote rather than improvised on the day. Pieces that were not designed to come apart, or that need a specialist, are flagged at quote stage rather than forced.

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.
