We cover Canning Town, Custom House, Royal Victoria and Royal Albert Docks, Silvertown, Royal Wharf and North Woolwich, for home moves and business jobs, 7 days a week.
Waterside flats and new developments
Most homes around the Royal Docks are in modern blocks, from the older waterside flats by Royal Victoria Dock to new developments such as Royal Wharf. Like any managed building, they run smoother with the goods lift and loading space booked in advance. Some blocks are a long walk from the nearest place a van can stop, so tell us where the van can park and we can bring trolleys to cover the distance quickly.
Exhibitions at ExCeL
We have moved stock and stands for exhibitions for many years, and ExCeL is on our doorstep. If you need display stands, stock or furniture taken to ExCeL and collected at the end of the show, book us for the build day and the breakdown. Exhibition jobs are charged at our normal hourly or day rates, and three men and a van is often the right size for a stand.
Students at the University of East London
We also move students to and from the University of East London’s Docklands campus and the halls around it. These are usually small loads at the one man and a van rate.
What we move in Royal Docks
Typical jobs are flat moves between the newer developments, exhibition deliveries and collections at ExCeL, student moves and single furniture items. See all our man and van services.

Getting ready for moving day
- Book the goods lift and loading area with your building management at both ends.
- For ExCeL, send us your stand number, the delivery time slot the organiser has given you and the hall entrance.
- If you are moving south of the river, give yourself some slack on the time. The river crossings near the Royal Docks get busy.
