Roman was very helpful. The move was quick and effortless. Had plenty of extra tools and equipment on hand. All in all we were fully moved in under two hours.
Excellent, friendly, fast service. Affordable as well!
The gentleman was timely and kept us informed of exactly when he was going to arrive etc and what to expect. He accommodated us when we needed 2 passenger seats and overall provided great service. Will definitely use this site again!
Got the job done in record time, even in pouring rain
Friendly, helpful
Stayed in contact with us, was very helpful and friendly
Arrived early, very friendly would recommend to anyone. Thanks again Edward!
Service was good, but I was charged quite extortionate £40 just because I had too many items. Especially since online a one size bigger van would only cost £15 more. I booked a medium van and got an xl one.

Our verified local drivers are familiar with Hackney’s filtered streets, parking controls, and mixed housing layouts. That matters if the job involves tighter access, shared entrances, or busier local roads.
Local moving practicalities in Hackney
In Hackney, access is usually the deciding factor. The main issues are flat-heavy housing, controlled parking and traffic filters that can make a short local job less straightforward than it first looks.
Flats, terraces and estates
A lot of local housing is made up of converted terraces, estate blocks and newer developments, so shared entrances, stairs, lifts and booked loading areas are all common factors.
Parking needs advance thought
Bay suspensions need notice, and controlled parking applies across much of the borough. Without proper planning, legal loading space can be harder to secure than the distance suggests.
Filters affect short routes
Bus gates, LTNs, school streets and busy corridors like Hackney Road or Mare Street can all slow access down, even when collection and delivery points look close together.
For broader planning advice, see our London moving guides.
