Worked totals
Flat removals in Greenwich: Peninsula and Woolwich riverside towers, Kidbrooke Village blocks, and converted terraces in the town centre, Blackheath and Charlton.
| Illustration | Crew rate | Hours | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bed flat move in Greenwich | £85 per hour | 3 | £85 × 3 = £255 |
| 2-bed flat move in Greenwich | £85 per hour | 4 | £85 × 4 = £340 |
| Driver Help studio move in Greenwich | £70 per hour | 2 | £70 × 2 = £140 |
Basis: illustrations only, from the published card: rate times crew hours, 2-hour minimum. Stairs add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs; a lift-served floor adds nothing. Council charges sit outside these totals and are worked into the true-cost example below.
Flat Removals in Greenwich
Greenwich flat moves divide into two kinds. The new kind is the towers: Greenwich Peninsula, Royal Arsenal Riverside in Woolwich and Kidbrooke Village, concierge-managed with booked lifts and loading bays, many of them car-free. The older kind is the conversion: a town-centre or Blackheath terrace split into flats behind one shared entrance and a staircase with no lift. Tell us which kind yours is, your floor and your largest pieces, and the quote follows the real carry.
The building sets the plan: book the lift and move window where the block requires it, or expect the van on a suspension on the controlled street outside; a resident moving house can use the concession, which makes the second bay free on the first day. Measure sofas and wardrobes against the shared stair turns in a conversion before packing day, and flag anything that can be dismantled.
Record the floor, corridor, stairs and lift access, along with any large item that may need to pass through a doorway or shared route. If you can, measure bulky furniture and the tightest point on the carrying route.
Contact the property manager or concierge to ask whether moves need a booked slot, lift protection, a loading bay reservation or other permission. These are building-specific checks, not assumptions about the wider area.
Flag heavy, fragile or awkward belongings and say which items are already packed. Distinguish the access plan at collection from delivery, as the two buildings may have different arrangements.
Parking in Greenwich
Greenwich runs both a suspension tariff and a yellow-line dispensation, and it is one of the few boroughs with a moving-house concession: a resident moving house gets the second bay free on the first day.
A suspension costs £66.40 per bay per day plus £66.40 admin, with 10 working days’ notice. With the moving-house concession, two bays for one day cost £132.80 (the second bay is free on day one; both are charged from day two), or £199.20 without it. A yellow-line dispensation costs £34.30 per day at 7 working days’ notice.
Parking is the line most cheap quotes leave out and most movers discover on the day. Ours is set out before you book: you apply and pay Royal Borough of Greenwich directly, we confirm the street, the spaces and the date first, and the charge is never added to the removals quote or marked up.
The borough-wide picture, with every scheme the council runs, is on our cheap removals in Greenwich page.
On the job
The cheap method
The card maths decides: 3 Men for 2 hours is £200, less than 2 Men for 3 hours at £255. On a long carry or several flights in Greenwich, the bigger crew is sometimes the cheaper total.
£70 per hour suits light loads you can help carry, the kind of job that starts in Greenwich town centre. It is not honest cheap for a full load: hours stretch and the saving disappears.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich arrangement for your street is applied for in good time, on the figures in the parking section above. A van that can load legally from the door loads faster than one circling for a gap.
Every box you do not move is time you do not buy. Charity collections and the council bulky service handle the rejects; we are not a waste carrier, and the quote says so plainly.
Batch the small jobs into the 2-hour minimum: the single item, the boxes and the bags in one run, measured first so nothing needs a second trip.
Your own packing is the biggest saving after crew size. Materials from us are published: boxes £5 each, wrap £15, tape £10 per roll.
A £70 hour with one mover who cannot carry the wardrobe alone becomes three hours. A parking penalty, or a second run for the load that did not fit, costs more than the arrangement would have. The honest cheap booking in Greenwich prices the whole job: crew, hours, parking and stairs, in writing, before the day.
The true cost
Basis: the removals line is rate times crew hours from the published card. The council line is Royal Borough of Greenwich’s own charge, set and charged by the council: you apply and pay the council directly, and the arrangement for your exact address is confirmed in your written quote. Stairs add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs.
The homes and streets
Greenwich runs from its historic riverside centre out to Abbey Wood, and your move changes along the way. Town-centre streets hold Georgian and Victorian terraces with stairs and narrow hallways. Woolwich and Kidbrooke add riverside and newer apartments where lifts and loading areas are managed by the building. Blackheath sits on higher ground, so some approaches are steep, while Charlton, Plumstead and Eltham are family houses and terraces with street loading. The A2 and the approach to the Blackwall Tunnel can slow the journey between the two ends. Tell us the property and the slope at each address.
Georgian and Victorian terraces and villas in Greenwich town centre, the Ashburnham Triangle and Blackheath, many converted into flats
New-build towers and riverside apartments on Greenwich Peninsula, at Royal Arsenal Riverside in Woolwich and at Kidbrooke Village, many of them car-free developments
Victorian terraces and interwar semis in Charlton, Plumstead, Eltham and New Eltham, and ex-local-authority estates and maisonettes in Thamesmead and Abbey Wood
Mansion blocks and period conversions in Blackheath and Charlton, some with porters and small passenger lifts
How it works
Postcodes, floor, stairs or lift, and a photo of any bay sign outside. For Greenwich, that is what decides the crew and the parking plan. Plan a flat move with accurate floor, lift, entrance and loading information for both addresses, not just the number of rooms.
Crew, hours, the parking arrangement and the total, itemised. Quotes are valid for 7 days and there is no deposit to book.

Best house removal company around. The team at Vano Removals was punctual, hard-working, and handled our furniture with great care. If you need reliable, stress-free local movers or packing services, I highly recommend them.
Vano Removals moved our 2-bed flat from Croydon to Sutton last week. The two-man crew arrived on time, wrapped the sofa and TV properly, and finished quicker than I expected. Nothing was damaged. Booking was simple and the final price matched the written quote. Would use them again.
The published card: Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 per hour, 3 Men £100 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum, so the floor is £140. From this page's illustrations: 1-bed flat move in Greenwich: £85 × 3 hours = £255; 2-bed flat move in Greenwich: £85 × 4 hours = £340. Council parking charges are the council's and sit outside the quote.
A suspension costs £66.40 per bay per day plus £66.40 admin, with 10 working days’ notice. With the moving-house concession, two bays for one day cost £132.80 (the second bay is free on day one; both are charged from day two), or £199.20 without it. A yellow-line dispensation costs £34.30 per day at 7 working days’ notice. We confirm the position for your exact addresses at quote stage.
The removals side is worked from the published card: 1-bed flat move in Greenwich: £85 × 3 hours = £255. The council side depends on your street: a suspension costs £66.40 per bay per day plus £66.40 admin, with 10 working days’ notice. With the moving-house concession, two bays for one day cost £132.80 (the second bay is free on day one; both are charged from day two), or £199.20 without it. A yellow-line dispensation costs £34.30 per day at 7 working days’ notice. Your written quote confirms the arrangement for your address before you book, and any council charge is paid to the council, never added to our price.
Your floor, the route out (shared staircase, passenger lift or goods lift), and whether your building sets move hours or needs the lift booked. Those three answers decide the crew and the timing more than the size of the flat does.
Usually on a council suspension outside the building: £66.40 per bay per day plus £66.40 admin, with 10 working days’ notice, and a resident moving house gets the second bay free on the first day. On town-centre streets with no bay to suspend, a yellow-line dispensation at £34.30 per day is the alternative. In car-free blocks the building’s loading bay replaces the street arrangement. We confirm your address at quote stage.
£5 per floor for each floor above ground where the team carries by stairs, at pickup, at delivery, or both. Floors served by a lift are not charged, and the ground floor is £0. Tell us the floor and the route when you enquire, because the carry decides the crew in the quote.
Book the building first and batch the load second. Where your block in Greenwich town centre or elsewhere in Greenwich sets move hours or a lift booking, securing the slot early is what keeps the job inside one visit; measuring sofas and wardrobes against the shared stair turns before the day avoids the dismantling detour that stretches hours. One load, one run, with everything staged by the door, is the pattern that holds a flat move to its illustration.
For a studio or a light one-room load, yes: £70 per hour, £140 at the minimum, and the mover loads and carries at this tier too; you can lend a hand if you wish, but you are never required to. For a full flat with a sofa and a wardrobe on a shared staircase, 2 Men at £85 is usually the cheaper total, because the carry is the job. The quote sets out both options against your item list.
We move your belongings to a storage unit rented in your own name, and collect them again when the new place is ready. We are a removals crew, not a storage operator: the unit contract is yours, and our part is the transport at the published hourly card, itemised in the written quote.
No deposit to book. Cancel or rearrange without charge up to 24 hours before your move; within 24 hours, a charge of up to 25% of the quoted price may apply. Quotes are valid for 7 days. Payment is taken at the time of service. Loading, unloading and carrying are included, as are dismantling and reassembly where booked in advance; packing is included only where booked and listed in your quote.
Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing.
