REMOVALS · LONDON BOROUGH OF BEXLEY

Removals in Bexley

Bexley does not work like a single-centre borough. Bexleyheath has the Broadway and the main town centre; Sidcup, Welling, Erith and Crayford are towns in their own right; and Bexley village still has the narrow streets of the village it was. A move here can be a 1930s semi in Blackfen, a terrace in Welling, a family house in Barnehurst or an office above the Broadway, and each is planned differently. This page is the starting point: the towns we cover, our published hourly rates for home moves, and how loading and parking actually work across the borough.

Every move is confirmed in a written, itemised quote before you book, with the crew size, the vehicle and the scope in writing. Our hours are Monday to Friday 7am–8pm, Saturday 8am–6pm and Sunday 9am–4pm. If you are comparing removal companies in Bexley, compare the specifics: the crew named in the quote, the rate card below, and whether the loading plan for your street has actually been thought about. Those are the things that decide what you actually pay.

Cheapest in cash: a van and your own labour

Hire a van for the day, carry everything yourself and drive it yourself. At most Bexley houses this is genuinely workable: the hire van stands on your own driveway and nothing needs arranging with anyone. The catches are volume and the centres. A boarded loft, a garage and a shed can add a second trip the hire price never mentioned, and near the Broadway or a station street even a hire van needs a legal place to load: on the published Bexley Council charges a suspended bay is based on £50 a day.

Least work for a fair total: a crew that loads

A booked crew does the carrying, the driving and the placing, including the loft and garage runs a Bexley semi always adds. On our published card a typical two-bed move totals £340 to £510 and a three-bed £500 to £700, and the loading at both addresses, driveway or street, is planned before the day.

A price without waiting: a written quote first

Send both postcodes and a room-by-room list that includes the loft, the garage and the shed, and the quote comes back in writing, valid for 7 days, with the crew, the vehicle and the hours settled before you commit. In Bexley the quote stage is also where the loading point gets confirmed street by street against the published Bexley Council suspension and dispensation charges.

Quick answer

Removals in Bexley are charged by the hour on our published card: Driver Help £70, 2 Men £85 and 3 Men £100 an hour, with a two-hour minimum, so a typical two-bed home totals £340 to £510 and a three-bed £500 to £700. Most Bexley houses load from a driveway and need no parking arrangement at all; on-street loading near the town centres and stations is planned against Bexley Council's published charges at quote stage: a suspension is based on £50 per bay per day and is applied for at least three working days ahead.

Minimum booking: 2 hours
Who it is for: Semis, terraces and family houses, town-centre flats

The borough

Seven towns, not one centre

Ask for “Bexley” and the job could start in any of seven quite different towns. The split that shapes every quote we write here:

Bexleyheath and the Broadway

The borough’s main centre: the Broadway’s shops and offices, the station, flats in and around the town centre, and streets of semis and family houses behind them. The busiest part of Bexley for loading, and its office heart.

Sidcup and Blackfen

1930s semis street after street, many with driveways and side access, around Sidcup’s own high street and station. Blackfen shares the same housing and the same straightforward loading, with the A2 running past both.

Welling

Victorian and Edwardian terraces and family houses along and behind Welling High Street, with Falconwood and East Wickham beyond. More on-street loading than the semi suburbs, and stairs inside most homes.

Erith and Belvedere

The riverside end of the borough: terraces and town-centre flats in Erith, family houses in Belvedere, and light industrial and trade space on the Thames-side estates. House moves and workplace moves sit side by side here.

Crayford

A small town with an industrial edge: terraces and semis around the centre, and business parks and units towards Dartford Heath. Moves here often mix the two, a house at one end of the job, a unit at the other.

Bexley village and Albany Park

Old Bexley’s narrow village streets and older houses ask for a confirmed loading point and a careful carry. Albany Park’s semis, and its station, sit between the village and Sidcup.

Barnehurst and Northumberland Heath

Family houses and semis on the borough’s northern edge, running down towards Erith. Driveways are common and loading is usually simple, the carry from the van to the door is what sets the time.

What we do

Removals services in Bexley

House removals

The core Bexley job: house-to-house moves between the borough’s semis, terraces and family homes, two and three-man crews, a Luton van with a tail lift, furniture protected in transit, and dismantling and reassembly where your quote agrees it. Our house removals in Bexley page carries the full detail. For the service across the whole borough, see house removals in Bexley.

Flat removals

Town-centre flats in Bexleyheath and Erith, maisonettes above parades, and converted flats in the older houses. The floor, the stairs or lift and the building’s own rules decide the plan, tell us them when you enquire. See flat removals in Bexley. Flats anywhere in the borough are covered by our flat removals in Bexley page.

Office removals

Offices above the Broadway, suites in Sidcup and units on the business parks and light industrial estates. Priced per job in a written quote and planned around your access hours and your sequence for getting desks and equipment working again. See office removals in Bexley, and the office section below.

Man and van

For smaller loads, single items, furniture collections and part-moves, the hourly man and van service is usually the right size of help: Driver Help, or a two or three-man crew, on the same published card as a whole-house move. See man and van in Bexley.

Packing services

Full or part packing, agreed and itemised in your written quote, with materials at published prices, boxes £5 each, wrap £15, tape £10 a roll. Houses with lofts, garages and sheds full of belongings are the usual Bexley reason to book it. See packing services in Bexley.

Storage solutions

Completion dates that do not line up, a downsize out of a larger house, or a renovation that needs the rooms emptied: a storage unit bridges the gap. You book the unit in your own name with the operator you choose; we provide the transport, loading and stacking at both ends, priced in your written quote alongside the move itself. See storage solutions in Bexley.

Moving out of Bexley altogether? Long-distance moves are a separate service, long-distance moves, priced per job in a written quote on the same basis.

Property and access

Loading in Bexley: the driveway borough, with honest exceptions

Bexley’s reputation is the easy-loading borough, and much of it is earned, but the exceptions are exactly what a quote has to catch:

Driveways and front loading. Most houses across Sidcup, Blackfen, Barnehurst and Bexleyheath load from a drive or the space at the front. No bay to book and nothing to arrange: the simplest start a move can have.
Sloped drives and long front gardens. A driveway is not the front door. Sloping drives and long front paths still put distance between the van and the door, walked on every trip of the day. Tell us the layout when you enquire, and the crew in your quote is sized for it rather than improvised on the morning.
Narrow village streets. Around Bexley village the older streets are narrower, with limited room to stop and wait. The loading point there is confirmed before the day, a short walk from a legal stopping point is planned in, not discovered.
Flats and maisonettes. Town-centre flats in Bexleyheath and Erith, and maisonettes above parades in Welling and Belvedere, bring shared entrances and stairs and, in managed blocks, a lift or a move booking to arrange with the building. Floors carried by stairs are charged at £5 per floor on the published card.
Lofts, garages and sheds. Bexley houses hold more than their rooms suggest. Garage, loft and garden contents are the easiest part of an inventory to forget: list them, with how they are reached, and they are in the written scope from the start.
The routes between towns. The A2 through Blackfen and Bexleyheath, the A20 Sidcup bypass and the A206 along the riverside all slow at peak times, and a move from Erith to Sidcup crosses most of the borough. Journey time sits inside the quoted hours, so the route is part of the plan, not a surprise added to it.

What the card means in total

Bexley is a houses borough, so most moves sit in the middle rows: two and three-bed semis and terraces loading from a driveway, with the loft and garage counted in the hours. 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

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.

Office moves

Office removals in Bexley: the Broadway, Sidcup and the business parks

Bexley has no single office district: its workplaces are spread the way its towns are. Offices and clinics sit above the Broadway in Bexleyheath, professional suites cluster in Sidcup, and the business parks and light industrial estates around Crayford, Erith and Belvedere hold units, workshops and trade space. The jobs share a shape: a small or medium workplace, a tight window, and equipment that has to be working again quickly at the other end.

An office move is planned around the business, not the van. The inventory is built by room or team, a named contact at each premises agrees the entrances, loading point and access hours, and who shuts down, labels, packs and reconnects IT is written into the scope, never assumed. Town-centre premises may share entrances and stairs with no goods lift; units on the parks usually load more easily but set their own access hours.

Priced per job, in writing. There is no hourly card for commercial work: your office move is priced per job in a written quote, and if your building only allows moving outside working hours, the quote is built around that window. The full detail is on our office removals in Bexley page, and the borough-wide picture is on our office removals service page.

Parking and access

Parking in Bexley: 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: Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Welling, Erith, Crayford, Bexley, Albany Park and Barnehurst. Controlled parking operates in parts of these areas. Bexley Council publishes the charges its arrangements are based on: a suspension is based on £50 per bay per day, or £150 per bay per week, applied for at least three working days ahead, and a yellow-line dispensation is based on £25 per vehicle per day, or £125 per week, with at least one working day of notice. The council confirms the exact cost when you apply, and what your street needs is confirmed for your precise addresses at quote stage, before a 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.

Content updated November 2026. Official sources for this page: Bexley Council (parking dispensations and suspensions: the published guideline charges and the notice periods for each route, with removals named as a reason to apply) and Transport for London. Council charges checked against the council’s published pages in November 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

Removals in Bexley: FAQs

How much do removals cost in Bexley?

Home moves 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. In total, a typical two-bed Bexley home comes to £340 to £510 on those rates and a three-bed to £500 to £700. Most Bexley family houses book the two or three-man crew. Office and commercial moves are priced per job instead. Your exact price is confirmed in a written quote once we know the volume and the access at both addresses.

Do I need to arrange parking for a Bexley move?

At most Bexley houses, no: a driveway or the space at the front takes the van, and nothing needs arranging with anyone. Bexley Council publishes the charges its arrangements are based on: a suspension is based on £50 per bay per day, or £150 per bay per week, with applications made at least three working days ahead, and a dispensation to park on yellow lines is based on £25 per vehicle per day, or £125 per week, with at least one working day of notice. The council confirms the exact cost when you apply. Where the van loads on-street, most often near Bexleyheath town centre, the Broadway and the stations, we confirm what your exact street needs at quote stage and plan the date around it. 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.

Does having a driveway make a Bexley move simpler?

Usually, yes: at many Bexley houses the van loads on the drive or right outside the front, which removes the parking question altogether. It does not remove the carrying: a sloped drive, a long front garden or a side path still adds time to every trip between the van and the door, and stairs inside the house count as they would anywhere. Your quote is built on the real layout at both addresses, driveway included.

Do you move offices in Bexley?

Yes. Bexley office work ranges from suites above the Broadway in Bexleyheath and offices in Sidcup to units on the business parks and the light industrial space around Crayford, Erith and Belvedere. Office moves are priced per job in a written quote, planned around your inventory by room or team, the access hours at both premises, and who handles IT shutdown and reconnection, agreed in writing before anything is booked. If your building only allows moves outside working hours, tell us the window when you enquire.

Can you pack for us, and what do the materials cost?

Yes: full packing for the whole property, or part packing for the rooms you least want to tackle, such as the kitchen and the fragile items. Materials are at published prices: boxes £5 each, wrap £15 and tape £10 a roll, and the packing labour is priced in your written quote. Packing is not included in a move unless it is booked and listed on your quote, so name the rooms you want covered when you enquire.

Can storage be part of our move?

Yes, as transport. We do not run or arrange a storage facility: you book a unit in your own name with the operator you choose, and we collect from your address, transport the load, load and stack the unit, and collect and redeliver when you are ready. The unit contract and its rent stay between you and the operator; our part, the transport at both ends, is set out in the same written quote as the move itself. Storage gaps are common in Bexley: completion dates that do not line up, or a downsize out of a larger house.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

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

What is included in the price, and what is not?

The crew’s time covers loading, unloading and carrying at both addresses, furniture protection in transit, and the journey between them. Dismantling and reassembly are included where your written quote lists them; packing is included only where it is booked and listed, with materials at the published prices. Council parking charges, where an arrangement is needed, are paid by you to the council directly and are never marked up by us. If anything you expect is not listed on the quote, ask before you book.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as your date is fixed. Your written quote is valid for 7 days, and booking ahead is what lets the plan be built properly: the loading point confirmed at both addresses, any council arrangement or building slot in place, and the crew sized to the real inventory. Short-notice moves are often possible, especially midweek, but the month-end dates in the semi suburbs are the first to fill.

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.

Which parts of Bexley do you cover?

The whole borough: Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Welling, Erith, Belvedere, Crayford, Bexley village, Blackfen, Albany Park and Barnehurst, plus moves into and out of Bexley, elsewhere in London and further afield. What shapes your move is not the borough name but the two real addresses: the town at each end decides the property type, the loading and the route, which is why we ask for both postcodes when you enquire.
