Moving house is one of the biggest jobs most people take on, and the difference between a smooth day and a long one usually comes down to preparation. Drophex Logistics handles house removals across London and the surrounding areas, from one-bedroom flats through to family homes. We plan the job around your property, its access and your completion date, then pack, protect, load, transport and unload your belongings so you can get on with settling in.
As a local removal company based in Romford, we know how much of a home move rides on practical detail — a narrow staircase, a lift that needs booking with the building manager, a shared driveway, or a completion time that slips by a couple of hours. Those things get planned for in advance rather than dealt with on the day. Every move is quoted on what you are actually shifting, so you are not paying for a lorry and a large crew when a smaller team will do the job properly.
Every house removal starts with understanding what needs to move and how it will get out of the building. From there we agree timings, crew size and vehicle, and confirm anything that has to be arranged ahead of time, such as parking permits or booking a goods lift.
We go through your inventory room by room and check access at both properties before quoting, so there are no surprises on the day.
Boxes, tape and bubble wrap are supplied where you need them, and furniture, mattresses and appliances are wrapped before they leave the room.
Everything is loaded and secured for transit, then unloaded and put in the right rooms at your new address rather than stacked by the front door.
Beds, wardrobes and flat-pack furniture are taken apart before loading and rebuilt at the other end.
Floors, door frames and banisters are protected so neither address is marked on the way through.
Basic cover is included as standard, with additional options available on request.
Studio flats, shared houses and three or four-bedroom family homes, planned as a single job.
Moves across London and out to the surrounding towns and cities, timed around your completion or tenancy dates.
Most of our home moves fall into one of a few situations, and each one changes how the day is planned:
No two quotes are the same, but the same handful of factors drive the cost of almost every home move:
Give us those details when you enquire and we can quote accurately, rather than offering a headline figure that changes once the crew arrives.
A house removal rarely sits on its own. Depending on what you need, we can add any of the following to the same booking:
There is no single price, because a two-bedroom flat on the third floor is a very different job to a bungalow with driveway parking. We quote on the volume of your belongings, access at both properties, the distance involved and whether you want packing included. Send us a room-by-room list or a few photos and we will give you a clear figure.
As early as you can. Fridays and the end of the month fill up first, because that is when most completions land. That said, we regularly take bookings at one to two days' notice and can sometimes help the same day if a crew is free.
Yes. We supply boxes, tape and bubble wrap. You can have the materials dropped off beforehand and pack yourself, or book our packing service and let our team do it for you.
Yes. Beds, wardrobes and flat-pack furniture are dismantled before loading and rebuilt at your new address. Mention it when you request a quote so we can allow time for it in the schedule.
Basic cover is included as standard and additional cover is available on request. Tell us in advance about anything high-value, antique or unusually fragile so it can be handled and declared properly.
It is common in a chain. We load in the morning and build a realistic window into the plan rather than assuming keys arrive on time, and we stay in contact with you through the day so the crew and vehicle are ready to move the moment you get the go-ahead.
