Really brilliant driver - so helpful and efficient. He was careful with my things and the move was completed early! Very grateful.
Really easy to use service, and our driver Mariusz was great - very helpful and a great driver. Got us and our contents to our new home quickly and safely. Would use again.
Vitaliy was fantastic, arrived on time, careful driver and packed everything so well. I will definitely use him again in future and recommend him to everyone, thanks again.
Aimen was really helpful and helped us with moving stuff wherever possible, even though we didn’t request any help. We’ll definitely recommend everyone to go for it!
Frank was great. Friendly, professional, punctual (arrived 5 min early), brought a bigger van than I booked as I didn’t know what size I needed, helped us move everything including a heavy sofa down 4 flights of stairs, let us (2 passengers) ride in the van with him. I would definitely use Frank again in future.
2 men plus van , Very friendly made the move very easy. Would definitely recommend. Thanks very much
Robert was right on time and very professional, he knew exactly what to load first in the van. Everything went smooth and super fast both at loading and unloading. Highly recommend!

Drivers on our platform know Richmond’s mix of residential streets, controlled parking areas, and routes shaped by river crossings. That local knowledge can make move-day planning feel more straightforward where stopping space, property access, or travel conditions vary.
What to plan for when moving in Catford
Richmond combines historic residential streets, riverside neighbourhoods and a mix of flats and larger family homes. Parking controls, bridge crossings and property layout can all affect how easily a local job runs once the van arrives.
Property types vary
A mix of apartment buildings, period terraces and larger extended homes means entrances, staircases and internal layouts can all change how items are carried in and out.
Controlled parking varies
Many neighbourhoods operate controlled parking zones with different restrictions, so checking nearby stopping space in advance can make loading more straightforward.
River crossings shape routes
The Thames divides the borough, so journeys between some neighbourhoods depend on a smaller number of bridge crossings, which can affect travel time.
For broader planning advice, see our London moving guides.
