London removals, planned around the access.

Moving to, from or within London? DNE arranges home and office moves from its Grays base. Tell us about the route, loading space, floors and building rules.

The address is only the start

For a London move, the place where a van can stop can be as important as the distance it travels. Send both postcodes, the floors involved and any restrictions on the collection or delivery window.

DNE is based in Grays, Essex, and covers London. We do not claim a separate London branch. Contact us to check the route and date for your house removal or office move.

Check who manages the road

Loading and parking rules vary. On a borough-managed street, check with the relevant council. On a red route, refer to Transport for London’s loading guidance.

Do not assume that hazard lights, a moving van or an open boot create permission to stop. Read the signs and check whether you need advance permission or a suspension. Let DNE know what has been arranged and where the vehicle will be allowed to stand.

Ask the building manager early

For flats and offices, confirm any move-in slot, goods-lift booking or protection required in communal areas. Give us the lift’s usable dimensions, not just its passenger capacity. A long corridor or a tight turn outside the lift can affect the handling plan.

Share the access rules before booking. If a concierge must be present or vehicle entry is controlled, identify who will be there at the agreed time.

Make the inventory fit the property

List large furniture and measure anything that may not fit through a narrow entrance. Include boxed items, bicycles and belongings stored away from the main rooms. Tell us if the load is split across more than one address.

Our flat-moving guide covers lifts, stairs and shared entrances. The removal-cost guide explains why access and the amount being moved need to be described clearly.

Confirm the full quote

Ask which route-related costs, parking arrangements and handling tasks are included. If your address, date or access changes, speak to DNE before moving day. We will not publish a blanket promise of a fixed arrival time for every London journey.

Your questions, answered

Can you help with a flat move in London?

Describe the flat, floor level, lift or stairs, load and parking arrangements. DNE can assess the move and confirm availability from those details.

Who arranges parking permission?

Agree this explicitly before booking. Check the relevant council or TfL rules and tell DNE what permission or loading arrangement is in place.

Where are you moving next?

Tell us the postcodes, the date and what needs to move. We’ll take it from there.
