A local driver who knows the Selsdon parade on Addington Road, the streets off Farley Road and the homes backing onto Selsdon Wood.
Selsdon is a settled, green suburb in CR2 on the borough's south-eastern edge, built largely as a planned garden estate between the wars. The heart of it is the Addington Road parade, east of the Farley Road junction, with its run of shops, banks, cafés and a couple of pubs that give Selsdon a proper village high street. There's no station of its own, which is part of its quiet appeal; instead it's wrapped in greenery, with Selsdon Wood nature reserve, the recreation ground and Littleheath Woods on the doorstep, and the housing is mostly comfortable inter-war detached and semi-detached homes on leafy, often sloping streets.
That settled, family character shapes the moves: a growing family upsizing in the streets off Farley Road, a couple moving in from a Croydon flat, a wardrobe or sofa carried up a 1930s semi, or a downsizing move from a larger Selsdon house. One careful driver sees the whole job through, every load is insured in transit, and our work is backed by a 5.0 rating on Google. The price doesn't change for this leafy corner of CR2: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.
Selsdon is mostly residential, which makes access calmer than the busier parts of the borough, but the streets can be sloping and the parade busy. The local spine, Addington Road, carries buses and the parade traffic, so we load from quieter roads off it. Streets like Farley Road, Upper Selsdon Road and the roads towards Selsdon Wood are residential and many homes have driveways, which makes loading easier, though the gradient and the parade pinch-point near the shops need a little planning.
Where a larger load needs the kerb outside, we can advise on a Croydon Council parking dispensation arranged a few days ahead, though many Selsdon homes have off-street space. There's no Congestion Charge here, and although Selsdon is inside the 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 Croydon, but on sloping streets we'll still plan the closest stopping point. Let us know the address and floor when you book.
Selsdon is largely inter-war garden-estate housing: comfortable 1930s detached and semi-detached homes with bay windows, driveways, garages and gardens, set on leafy, often sloping streets. There are also some larger detached houses towards Selsdon Wood and the woods, bungalows favoured by downsizers, and a few flats above the Addington Road parade. The houses tend to make for a straightforward carry but a large volume of furniture, garden kit and loft and garage storage.
For these whole-house moves we bring two pairs of hands where needed, dismantle beds, wardrobes, garden furniture and the contents of garages and sheds, and wrap the lot in blankets and straps. Driveways usually keep the carry short, while sloping plots add a little planning. Flag the property type, any stairs, a driveway and a rough inventory when you book and we'll size the job correctly.
The Selsdon moves we handle most often, all on the same fixed rate.

Yes, that's the typical Selsdon job. The 1930s semis and detached homes here are usually full houses with gardens, garages and lofts packed with storage, so we bring extra hands, dismantle beds, wardrobes and garden furniture, and protect everything with blankets.
Usually easily, as many Selsdon homes have driveways and parking pressure is lighter than central Croydon. For a longer load where there's only roadside space, we can advise on a Croydon Council parking dispensation, or load from the closest legal kerb.
