FAQs
Ilford moving questions answered
Common questions before booking in Ilford. Not here? Call us — 8AM to 10PM.
Packing is quoted separately from the moving rate — partial packing for selected rooms or fragile-only work, or full-home packing as a package once we see room count, kitchen size and photos of breakables. Materials, labelling and timing all affect the final figure. Many customers save money by packing clothes themselves and booking us for kitchens, glassware and mirrors. Send a quick walk-through video or room photos by email and we will recommend partial packing, full packing or materials-only support before you book. We plan CPZ parking, stair carries, lift access, driveway loading and same-day slots from our IG2 base when vans are free. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
More often here than anywhere else, because our vans are based on Eastern Avenue. Call and we check what is free.
Yes. The concierge sets the slot. We arrange it before the day.
Yes. Boxes, tape, paper and protective wrapping can be supplied when agreed in the quote. If you already have some cartons, we can top up only what is missing so you are not paying for unused materials. Wardrobe boxes and fragile wrap are useful for hanging clothes, glassware and mirrors. Tell us roughly how many rooms are still unpacked and we will suggest a sensible materials list with the packing labour. We plan CPZ parking, stair carries, lift access, driveway loading and same-day slots from our IG2 base when vans are free. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
Yes. Kitchen-only and fragile-only packing are two of the most requested options. Plates, glasses, pantry jars and small appliances take time and are easy to damage when rushed into soft bags. We wrap, box and label so the kitchen can be unpacked in a usable order at the new address. Bedrooms and clothes can stay as DIY packing if you prefer a lighter bill. We plan CPZ parking, stair carries, lift access, driveway loading and same-day slots from our IG2 base when vans are free. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
Yes. Cartons are labelled by room and key contents so unloading is not a guessing game. Clear labels help the moving crew place boxes in the right rooms and help you find kettle, bedding and work kit on night one. If you use a colour or room system already, tell us and we will match it. Good labelling is a small detail that makes the whole move feel calmer. We plan CPZ parking, stair carries, lift access, driveway loading and same-day slots from our IG2 base when vans are free.
