Worked totals
Flat removals in Stratford: high-rise flats in East Village and Stratford City and converted flats in Maryland, Forest Gate and West Ham, planned around lifts and stairs.
| Illustration | Crew rate | Hours | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bed flat move in Stratford | £85 per hour | 3 | £85 × 3 = £255 |
| 2-bed flat move in Stratford | £85 per hour | 4 | £85 × 4 = £340 |
| Driver Help studio move in Stratford | £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.
Parking in Newham
Stratford sits inside Newham’s scheme, which runs a resident route and a commercial route at different prices. House moves use the resident route; the commercial rate is not the householder’s price: it costs £50 per bay per day plus an administration fee per location of £200 where the suspension runs for under three days, or £400 for three days or more.
The resident route costs £23 per bay per day plus £25 admin, so one bay for one day is £48 and two bays £71. Give at least 10 working days.
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 Newham Council 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 Newham page.
The true cost
Basis: the removals line is rate times crew hours from the published card. The council line is Newham Council’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.
Flat Removals in Stratford
Flat removals in Stratford are the area’s most common move: a high-rise flat in East Village or near Stratford City, a block beside the Olympic Park itself, or a converted flat in a Victorian house in Maryland, Forest Gate or West Ham. One runs through a building team, a booked lift and a loading bay; the other runs up a shared staircase to the street. Tell us which kind of flat you have at each end, the floor, and the building process you have been given.
For a managed building, confirm the move slot, goods lift booking, loading bay and any crew registration with the building manager before choosing a date, as slots in East Village and Stratford City buildings are set by the building. For a conversion, confirm the shared entrance and stair route and where the van can wait, and the street position is Newham’s resident route (£23 per bay per day plus £25 admin; one bay for one day £48, two bays £71; at least 10 working days’ notice). Measure bulky items carefully against lift dimensions, doorways and stair turns at both flats before the day.
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.
The homes and streets
Stratford has changed faster than most London areas: high-rise flats in East Village and around Stratford City sit near Victorian terraces and conversions in Maryland, Forest Gate and West Ham and family houses in Plaistow. Your move depends on which Stratford you are in, a booked lift and bay in a tower, or a shared staircase and street loading in a conversion. Newham’s resident route costs £23 per bay per day plus £25 admin, so one bay for one day is £48 and two bays £71, on at least 10 working days’ notice; share your building’s move instructions for a managed flat, and your quote will reflect the real access at both ends.

Victorian terraced houses in Maryland, Forest Gate and West Ham, many converted into flats with shared stairs
Terraced and semi-detached houses in Plaistow and Forest Gate, often with small front gardens and on-street loading
On the job
How it works
Postcodes, floor, stairs or lift, and a photo of any bay sign outside. For Stratford, 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.
The resident route costs £23 per bay per day plus £25 admin, so one bay for one day is £48 and two bays £71. Give at least 10 working days. We confirm the street and date before anything is submitted.
We load, carry, transport and unload. Payment is taken at the time of service.

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 Stratford: £85 × 3 hours = £255; 2-bed flat move in Stratford: £85 × 4 hours = £340. Council parking charges are the council's and sit outside the quote.
In a managed building, loading is usually in a booked bay rather than at the kerb. For a converted flat: Newham’s resident route costs £23 per bay per day plus £25 admin, so one bay for one day is £48 and two bays £71, on at least 10 working days’ notice; confirm the loading point in your enquiry.
Take 1-bed flat move in Stratford: removals £255 (£85 × 3 hours), plus the council line: the resident route costs £23 per bay per day plus £25 admin, so one bay for one day is £48 and two bays £71. All in, the illustration comes to £326, before any stair charges (£5 per floor where the carry is by stairs). The council part is paid to Newham Council, not to us.
That usually means a converted flat in Maryland, Forest Gate or West Ham. Say which floor you are on and how wide the stairs and turns are, and include large-item sizes so the carrying plan can be confirmed.
£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 Stratford town centre or elsewhere in Stratford 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.
For a managed block, the move window, lift booking, loading bay and any check-in. For a conversion, the floor, stair width and turns and where the van can load. Share whichever applies at both flats.
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.
