We move flats, offices and single items across Canary Wharf, Millwall, Cubitt Town and the rest of the Isle of Dogs, 7 days a week. Most of the homes here are in towers, and a tower move goes smoothly when the building is booked properly, so that is where we start.
Moving in and out of E14 towers
Almost every residential block around South Quay, Marsh Wall, Millharbour and the newer Wood Wharf buildings has a concierge and its own rules for moves. Most ask you to book the goods lift and a slot in the loading bay, and some want details of the removal firm a few days before. Tell us the building name when you call and we will work to its rules, so you do not lose the first hour of your booking waiting for a lift.
Once the lift is booked, a one or two bedroom flat in a tower is usually a quick job: our team works in a loop between the flat, the lift and the van, and the van sits in the bay rather than on the street.
Getting on and off the island
The Isle of Dogs has only a few ways in, mainly Westferry Road, Manchester Road and the roads off the Limehouse Link, and they back up at rush hour. If your move is flexible, a mid morning start avoids the worst of it. For moves south of the river we plan the crossing on the day, and we only charge for the time the job actually takes.
What we move in Canary Wharf
Typical jobs here are studio and one bedroom flat moves, sharers moving between towers, and furniture deliveries from IKEA Greenwich, a short drive through the tunnel. We also move office furniture and equipment for businesses on and around the Canary Wharf estate, often in the evening or at weekends so the office stays open. See all our man and van services.
Man and van prices in Canary Wharf
We charge the same rates everywhere in London: by the hour with a two hour minimum, or a fixed half day or full day price. There is no charge for fuel, mileage or a building without a lift, and hourly jobs are paid when the work is finished, by card or cash.

|---|---|---|---|
| One man and a van | £55 | £210 | £425 |

Getting ready for moving day
- Book the goods lift and loading bay at both buildings for the same time window as your booking.
- Ask the concierge whether the building needs anything from us in advance, and pass it on when you book.
- Measure large items such as sofas and wardrobes against the lift door, so we know before the day if something needs taking apart.
Questions about moving in Canary Wharf
Can you move me between two towers on the same day?
Yes. Many of our Isle of Dogs moves are between two buildings a few minutes apart. With both lifts booked, a one bedroom flat is often done in the two hour minimum.
Do you work evenings for office moves in Canary Wharf?
Yes. We work 7 days a week and can start after the office closes so your team can work as normal.
