From Roman Road and Victoria Park to Mile End and Bow Common, we move flats, houses and students across E3, 7 days a week.
Terraces, conversions and the Bow Quarter
Bow is mostly Victorian terraced streets, many split into upstairs and downstairs flats, with converted warehouses and newer blocks mixed in. In a converted house the staircase is often narrow and turns at the top, so tell us about large items like sofas and wardrobes before the day. Beds and wardrobes can be taken apart and rebuilt at your new home as part of the booking.
Large developments like the Bow Quarter have their own rules for moving in and out, usually a booked time and a set place for the van to stop. Check with the estate office before you confirm a date.
Student moves near Queen Mary
Queen Mary’s Mile End campus means plenty of moves in and out of halls and shared houses around Mile End and Bow. These are usually small, and the one man and a van rate suits them. You can travel in the van at no extra charge.
What we move in Bow
Typical jobs here are one and two bedroom flat moves, family moves from a terraced house, students at the start and end of term, and furniture or appliance collections. The A12 and the Bow roundabout get busy at rush hour, so we plan routes and start times to keep the clock running as little as possible. See all our man and van services.

Getting ready for moving day
- On residents’ parking streets, ask Tower Hamlets Council about a parking suspension, or let us know where the nearest legal space is.
- Measure doorways and stair turns if you are moving a large sofa into a converted flat.
- Have boxes packed and taped before we arrive. Packing is the part of the day that most often runs over.
