A local driver who knows Collier Row Lane, the Clockhouse junction shops and the suburban semis stretching north of Romford towards Havering-atte-Bower.
Collier Row sits just north of Romford town centre in RM5, a settled, family-friendly suburb that grew up around the long ribbon of Collier Row Lane. The Clockhouse parade of shops marks its centre, and from there the streets fan out into inter-war semis and quieter cul-de-sacs, stretching up towards Chase Cross and the green edge of Havering-atte-Bower beyond. It has no station of its own, leaning on Romford's Elizabeth line links a couple of miles south, which suits its character as a calm residential pocket where people settle and stay.
The moves here are classic suburban Havering: a family upsizing within the semis off Collier Row Lane, a one-bed flat shifted near the Clockhouse, a wardrobe carried out from a Chase Cross cul-de-sac, or a downsizing move from a long-held family home. One careful driver stays with your Collier Row move from the first box to the last, every load is protected by goods-in-transit insurance, and our Google rating sits at a full 5.0. Pricing is refreshingly simple and identical across RM5: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.
Collier Row is far kinder for kerbside loading than central London, but its main spine still needs care. Collier Row Lane and Collier Row Road are busy through-routes carrying buses and steady traffic, with the Clockhouse junction getting congested at peak times, so we often work to the quieter residential turnings off them. Roads like Lower Bedfords Road and the cul-de-sacs around Chase Cross Road generally allow easy parking close to the door, with far less permit pressure than inner boroughs.
For a larger move that needs to hold a spot on a tighter parade, we can advise on a short Havering Council removals dispensation, arranged a few days ahead. There's no Congestion Charge out here in RM5, and although Collier Row is inside the Greater London ULEZ, our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's no emission surcharge on your job. With Romford's gyratory and the A12 a short drive south, access is straightforward, just tell us the address, floor and any narrow driveway when you book and we'll plan the kerbside time.
Collier Row is overwhelmingly inter-war and post-war suburban housing: bay-fronted semis, terraces and detached homes, many still whole family houses with gardens, garages and loft storage. There are also pockets of low-rise flats and maisonettes around the Clockhouse and along the main lane. The carries are generally easier than in Victorian inner London, but the volume tends to be large after years of family life.
For whole-house moves we bring two pairs of hands where needed, dismantle beds, wardrobes and garden furniture, and wrap the lot in blankets and straps. Garage and loft clearances are common here too, and the off-street driveways many homes have make loading quicker and tidier. Flag the property type, any stairs, garage or shed clearance and a rough inventory when you book and we'll size the job and the time correctly.
The Collier Row moves we're booked for most often, all on one honest rate.

Yes, that's the typical Collier Row job. The inter-war semis and detached homes here are usually full houses with gardens, garages and loft storage, so we bring extra hands where needed, dismantle beds and wardrobes, and protect everything with blankets and straps for the move.
