A local driver who knows the Surrey Quays waterside blocks, the Canada Water regeneration and the loading bays off Lower Road.
Surrey Quays is the regenerated docklands heart of SE16, built on the old Surrey Commercial Docks around the open water of Canada Water and Surrey Water. Once timber and grain docks, it's now a district of modern apartment blocks, the shopping centre, the printworks events venue and the vast Canada Water regeneration scheme rising around the basin. The Jubilee line and Overground at Canada Water make it fast into town, and the docks-turned-lakes give it an unusual, watery openness for inner London.
The moves here are modern-flat work: a one- or two-bed shifted between waterside blocks off Surrey Quays Road, a delivery carried up to an apartment overlooking Canada Water, a studio cleared near the station, or a first move into a brand-new build. One vetted driver handles your move from loading bay to door, every item travels under goods-in-transit insurance, and we hold a 5.0 on Google. The rate is fixed whichever block you're in: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.
Surrey Quays plays by modern-block rules. Lower Road, Surrey Quays Road and Redriff Road are the main routes, busy and partly bus-laned, while the apartment blocks around Canada Water and the docks typically use a marshalled loading bay, barrier or booked goods lift rather than open kerbside parking. We confirm access with the concierge or building management before the day so the lift and bay are ready.
There's no Congestion Charge in Surrey Quays, the central zone is well to the west, so there's no daily charge on your move. The area is inside the ULEZ, but our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's no emission surcharge either. The newer Canada Water developments have controlled service access and time windows, which we plan around. Give us the building, floor and any lift or loading-bay booking when you book and we'll bring trolleys to move quickly and cleanly from dock to door.
Surrey Quays is almost entirely modern apartments: waterside blocks around Canada Water and the docks with lifts, concierge desks and underground parking, plus the new towers and townhouses of the Canada Water regeneration. There are few traditional staircases here; the work is logistics, lift-booking, loading-bay access, long internal corridors and protecting smart communal finishes.
We come with trolleys and flat dollies to move efficiently across those distances, plus blankets and corner protection for the lifts and lobbies. Furniture in these flats is often modern and modular, so we dismantle and reassemble beds, wardrobes and sectional sofas as needed. The waterside layouts can mean a longer carry from the bay to the door, which we factor into the time. Tell us the building, floor and lift situation when you book.
The Surrey Quays moves we run most, all on one fixed rate and a single driver.

Often, yes, though block moves depend on the building's lift and loading-bay availability. We're open Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 19:00. Call 07550 145313 with your building and what's moving and we'll check both our slots and the concierge requirements.
Yes. We do low-downtime moves for the live-work units and small offices in the Canada Water regeneration, working to the goods lift and loading bay to keep disruption down. Give us the inventory and access details and we'll plan a move that fits the building's delivery windows.
