A local driver who knows the giant Catford cat, the Broadway Theatre, the markets and the South Circular cutting through the heart of SE6.
Catford is the busy civic heart of SE6, instantly recognisable for the giant fibreglass cat that leaps out over the entrance to the Catford Centre shopping mall. The town clusters around two stations, Catford and Catford Bridge, with the grand old Broadway Theatre and the council offices anchoring the centre, and a lively street market and run of shops along Rushey Green. The South Circular slices straight through it all, making Catford one of the more trafficked junctions in the borough but also a genuinely well-connected place to live and move from.
The moves here are bread-and-butter SE6: a one-bed shifted from Rushey Green to Bromley Road, a family move in the terraces off Sangley Road, a flat cleared near Catford Bridge station, or a sofa carried up a converted house near the Broadway. You get the same vetted driver door to door, goods-in-transit cover on everything in the van, and a clean 5.0 rating on Google behind us. The rate doesn't move with the postcode: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees, whether you're shifting around SE6 or heading off to Lewisham or Bromley.
Catford's defining access challenge is the South Circular (A205), which runs right through the town as Catford Road and Brownhill Road, carrying heavy traffic, bus lanes and red-route stretches where you can't stop. Rushey Green and Bromley Road are equally busy, so we rarely load on the main drags. Instead we work to the residential grid behind, streets like Sangley Road and Engleheart Road, which sit in a controlled parking zone with permit-only bays and the narrow carriageways typical of the area.
For a bigger move on a permit bay we can advise on a short Lewisham Council removals dispensation or bay suspension, arranged a few days ahead. There's no Congestion Charge in SE6, and although Catford is inside the ULEZ, our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so no emission surcharge applies. Where a flat sits above the shops on Rushey Green or close to the Centre, we'll plan the nearest legal stopping point and hand-carry from there, timing the load to dodge the worst of the South Circular traffic. Give us the address and floor when you book.
Catford's housing is a broad mix. Around the centre and Rushey Green you've got Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into one- and two-bed conversions, plus flats above the shops. Spread out towards Bellingham and Downham are large inter-war semis and sizeable council estates, while newer apartment blocks have appeared near the stations. It's a varied, well-populated patch, so the moves run from compact flats to full family houses.
Each calls for a different method: conversions mean dismantling beds and hand-balling sofas down steep stairs, the inter-war semis are usually a straightforward but high-volume carry, and the estate flats often need a longer hand-carry across walkways and a lift booking where one exists. We bring straps, blankets and tools as standard. Just flag whether it's stairs, a lift or a tight doorway when you book and we'll come prepared.
The Catford jobs we handle most, all on the same fixed rate and one careful driver.

The South Circular through Catford and the roads by the Centre are busy red-route and bus-lane stretches where stopping is restricted. We work to quieter residential side streets and hand-carry in, timing the load around the heavy junction traffic. Tell us the exact address and we'll plan it.
Yes, regularly. Estate flats often need a longer hand-carry across walkways and a lift booking where one exists, so we plan the closest legal stopping point and bring trolleys for the distance. Give us the block, floor and whether the lift is working when you book.
There's no Congestion Charge in SE6. Catford sits inside the ULEZ, but our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's no emission surcharge on your move. The £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile rate, with a £50 minimum, is exactly what you pay.
