A local driver who knows Ham Common, the riverside meadows towards Petersham and the large detached houses on the lanes off Ham Street.
Ham is a green, low-built pocket of TW10 sitting between Richmond Park and the Thames, with the open Ham Lands and the riverside meadows running down towards Petersham and Teddington Lock. The Common is the heart of it, surrounded by Georgian houses and the grand Ham House nearby, and the whole area has a calm, almost rural feel that's rare this close to central London. There's no station of its own, which is part of the charm; people come here for the space, the schools and the green, and tend to stay for years.
That settled, spacious character shapes the moves: a family upsizing in the houses off Ham Street, a downsizing move from a large detached home near the Common, a sofa carried up a period house, or a flat shifted on one of the estate roads. One vetted driver handles the whole job, your belongings are covered by goods-in-transit insurance, and our Google rating stands at a full 5.0. The rate stays the same across this quiet corner of TW10: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.
Ham is mostly low-rise and green, which makes access calmer than the busier parts of the borough, but the lanes can be narrow and the meadows mean some homes sit well back from the road. The main route through is Ham Street, with Ham Common and roads like Lock Road and Petersham Road winding past large houses and the riverside meadows. The narrow approaches towards Teddington Lock footbridge and the river need careful planning for a larger van.
Most residential roads are permit-controlled, and for a bigger move we can advise on a short Richmond Council removals dispensation arranged a few days ahead. There's no Congestion Charge in TW10, and although Ham is inside the wider ULEZ, our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so no emission surcharge applies. Because there's no station on the doorstep, parking pressure is usually lighter than central Richmond, but where a house sits behind a long drive or on a narrow meadow lane we'll plan the closest legal stopping point and hand-carry from there. Let us know the address and floor when you book.
Ham's housing leans towards generous detached and semi-detached family homes, Georgian houses around the Common and a run of post-war and estate housing in between, with very few of the cramped conversions found nearer the stations. The detached homes often have long drives, large rooms and plenty of garden furniture, which makes the carry straightforward but the volume large. Period houses around the Common add heavier original furniture and the odd narrow internal staircase.
For these moves we bring two pairs of hands where needed, dismantle beds, wardrobes and garden furniture, and wrap the lot in blankets and straps. Long drives and detached layouts usually help the carry, though they can add distance from van to door, which we factor into the time. Just flag the property type, any stairs and a rough inventory when you book and we'll size the job correctly.
The Ham moves we handle most often, all on the same fixed rate.

Yes, that's the typical Ham job. The detached homes here are often packed with furniture and garden kit, with long drives that can add distance from the van, so we bring extra hands where needed, dismantle beds and wardrobes, and protect everything with blankets for the move.
