We cover all of Poplar, from Chrisp Street and Langdon Park to All Saints, Blackwall and Aberfeldy, for full moves and for the small jobs that a big removal firm will not take on.
Single item removals in Poplar
A lot of our work in Poplar is one item or a handful of items: a sofa bought second hand, a fridge freezer going to a new flat, a bed and a wardrobe going to a family member a few streets away. You do not need a full removal for that. One man and a van is £55 an hour with a two hour minimum, and a single item within east London usually fits well inside that time, including carrying it up or down the stairs.
If the item is heavy or awkward, such as an American fridge freezer or a corner sofa, book two men so it can be carried safely.
Estates, new builds and terraces
Poplar has everything from 1960s council blocks and low rise estates to new build flats along East India Dock Road and older terraced streets. On the estates the main question is usually access: whether there is a lift, how far the nearest parking is from the block entrance and whether a vehicle barrier needs a fob. Tell us when you book and we will plan the time around it.
What we move in Poplar
As well as single items we move studio and family flats, clear furniture before a refurbishment and collect flat pack furniture, then build it for you at home. East India Dock Road and the A12 are red routes, so we load from side streets or the estate car park rather than the main road. See all our man and van services.
Man and van prices in Poplar
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.
| Crew | Per hour | Half day (4 hours) | Full day (8 hours) |
|---|---|---|---|
| One man and a van | £55 | £210 | £425 |
| Two men and a van | £70 | £270 | £545 |
| Three men and a van | £85 | £360 | £645 |

Getting ready for moving day
- Check whether your block has a working lift and whether it is big enough for a sofa or a mattress.
- If your estate has a barrier or a fob gate, arrange for someone to meet the van or let us know the code.
- For a single item, send a photo and rough measurements when you book so we bring the right crew.
