Hill-street terraces, Deptford flats and Catford semis moved with care, a local driver who knows the gyratory, the market days and the steep stairs.
Lewisham has become one of south-east London's most sought-after boroughs, and it shows in how often people move here. There's the maritime history and busy market of Deptford (SE8), the student energy of New Cross (SE14) around Goldsmiths, the hilltop Victorian streets of Brockley and Telegraph Hill (SE4), the family roads and green spaces of Forest Hill and Sydenham (SE23, SE26), and the everyday high streets of Lewisham and Catford (SE13, SE6). It's a borough of first-time buyers, growing families and a steady churn of renters, perfect ground for a quick, careful local man and van.
Most weeks we're collecting a single item off Deptford High Street, moving a one-bed from New Cross up to Brockley, settling a Goldsmiths student into a house-share, or clearing a flat at the end of a tenancy in Catford. Each move runs door to door with the same vetted driver, your goods are covered by goods-in-transit insurance, and we're rated 5.0 on Google. Pricing is the same across the borough: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.
Lewisham's character comes from its hills and its Victorian terraces. Brockley, Telegraph Hill and Forest Hill are full of tall period houses on sloping streets, many split into upper-floor flats reached by long, narrow staircases, a steep but rewarding carry. Deptford and New Cross are denser, with purpose-built flats, ex-council blocks and Goldsmiths house-shares packed close together. Catford and Hither Green lean towards Edwardian and inter-war semis with gardens, while Sydenham mixes large period homes with newer developments. Whatever the property, our drivers come prepared to dismantle beds and wardrobes, hand-carry down tight stairwells, and protect floors and walls on the way out. Just tell us the floor and the access when you book.
The two town centres are the things to plan around. The Lewisham gyratory and the A20 through the centre have stretches of red route where you can't stop, so we work to the nearest side street and time arrivals to dodge the worst congestion. Deptford High Street is partly a market street, busiest on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, so on those days we find the closest legal loading point off the high road and carry from there.
Up in the conservation areas of Brockley and Telegraph Hill, streets like Wickham Road, Tyrwhitt Road and the roads around Hilly Fields, parking is controlled with residents' bays, so for a full move we'll often suggest a short council removals dispensation arranged a few days ahead. The hill streets around Honor Oak and Forest Hill add a slope to the carry, which we plan for. Lewisham is inside the ULEZ but not the Congestion Charge zone, and our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's nothing extra to pay.

Yes, with a bit of planning. Deptford High Street is busy and partly market-led, and the Lewisham gyratory around the town centre and the A20 has stretches of red route where you can't stop. We work to the nearest side street or legal loading point, and on the dense estate roads off Deptford Church Street we'll find the closest spot and carry from there. Deptford's Wednesday, Friday and Saturday market days are busiest, so tell us the day and we'll time it.
The Brockley and Telegraph Hill conservation areas, roads like Wickham Road, Tyrwhitt Road and the streets around Hilly Fields, are in controlled parking zones with residents' bays. For a full house move we can advise on a short removals dispensation from Lewisham Council, arranged a few days ahead, so the van can wait outside while we load. We'll let you know if your street needs one.
Yes. Lewisham is inside London's Ultra Low Emission Zone and our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's no emission surcharge on your move. Lewisham is not in the Congestion Charge zone, that only covers central London, so there's no daily charge here.
Yes, the steep streets around Forest Hill, Honor Oak and Telegraph Hill are part of the territory. Many of the Victorian and Edwardian houses there are on a slope and split into upper-floor flats with long, narrow staircases. Our drivers carry by hand, dismantle bulky items, and protect floors and banisters. Let us know the floor and how far the carry is from the road and we'll plan it.
It's £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, with a £50 minimum and no hidden fees, the same across SE4, SE6, SE8, SE12, SE13, SE14, SE23 and SE26. Your goods are covered by goods-in-transit insurance and the same vetted driver handles the whole job. Send the addresses and what's moving for a free quote.
