A local man and van for Redbridge, the leafy Wanstead villas, the Gants Hill semis and the busy flats above Ilford High Road, all handled by a driver who already knows the IG postcodes.
Redbridge runs from the shops and high-rise flats of Ilford up through the green, settled streets of Wanstead, Woodford and Snaresbrook to the suburban estates of Barkingside and Hainault. That spread is why a one-size-fits-all approach never works here, and why people ring a firm that already drives these roads. Edward Man And Van Services covers every part of the borough, postcodes IG1 to IG8 plus the E11 and E18 edges of Wanstead and South Woodford.
A lot of our work is families settling into the borough's good-school catchments, downsizers leaving big Edwardian houses, and renters moving between Ilford flats. We handle single pieces just as happily as full house moves, and the rate is the same wherever you are: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum, and no surprises added at the end.

Wanstead, Snaresbrook and Woodford Green are full of grand Edwardian and Victorian villas, three storeys, wide doorways, original floors and the odd conservation-area frontage that needs a careful approach. Gants Hill, Barkingside and Newbury Park are dominated by 1930s bay-fronted semis with that classic steep staircase and a half-landing turn, while Ilford and Seven Kings mix terraces with purpose-built and converted flats. We bring the right kit for each: blankets and corner protection for period homes, stair-climbing dollies for first-floor flats.
The pinch point is always central Ilford. Ilford High Road and Cranbrook Road (IG1) carry red-route and pay-and-display restrictions, so for flats above the shops we load from a quieter side street and walk it in. The Edwardian roads off Valentines Park and around Wanstead High Street (E11) are calmer but sit in controlled parking zones, we arrive early for a spot near your door. Out in Gants Hill, Barkingside and Hainault the wider interwar streets and driveways usually mean easy access. Where a road is permit-only, we can arrange a removals dispensation from Redbridge Council with a little notice.
Door to door across Redbridge, postcodes IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4, IG5, IG6, IG7, IG8 plus E11 and E18, including:
Ilford town centre and the High Road (IG1) are heavily restricted with red-route stretches and pay-and-display, so for flats above the shops we load from a side road. The Cranbrook and Valentines streets and the Gants Hill estate roads (IG2) are quieter and usually fine to park close. If your road is permit-only we can arrange a removals dispensation from Redbridge Council if you book a few days ahead.
Yes, the Edwardian and Victorian villas around Wanstead (E11), Snaresbrook and Woodford Green often have three storeys, wide pieces and gravel drives or conservation-area frontages. We bring straps, blankets and dollies, dismantle beds and wardrobes where needed, and protect period floors and banisters. It's the same insured driver throughout.
Yes. All of Redbridge sits inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone and our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so no emission charge is ever added to your quote. Redbridge is well outside the Congestion Charge zone, so that doesn't apply to moves here.
£30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, with a £50 minimum and no hidden fees, the same in Barkingside, Hainault or South Woodford. Loads are covered by goods-in-transit insurance and you get the same friendly driver from start to finish. Tell us what you're moving for a free quote.
We do, click-and-collect and Marketplace pickups from around Gants Hill, the Gallows Corner direction and the A12 retail parks are a regular job, plus we carry it up to your flat rather than leaving it in the hall. Send the item and your address and we'll quote a time, often same day.
Whatever the move, a single Marketplace find in Goodmayes or a full family home in Woodford Green, we'll do it carefully and charge you fairly. Rated 5.0 on Google, open Mon–Sat 08:00–19:00, vetted drivers, insured loads.
The same friendly drivers, fixed pricing (£30/hour, £50 minimum) and ULEZ-compliant vans apply to every service we offer in Redbridge:
