Removals Chigwell

It depends on how much you’re moving, the access at both addresses and whether you add packing or storage. After a video call or home visit, we send one fixed figure that includes ULEZ where it applies, fuel and stair carries. A five-bedroom house on a private road and a two-bedroom flat are priced very differently, which is why we survey first. Our guide to moving house costs in East London and Essex breaks down the main cost factors.

No. ULEZ is built into your fixed quote wherever the route or either address falls inside the zone. That matters in Chigwell, because TfL’s boundary follows Manor Road, with most roads to the north outside the zone and most to the south inside. You won’t see it appear as an extra charge.

Often not, as many Chigwell homes have driveways the van can use. If the van needs an on-street bay in Epping Forest district, the North Essex Parking Partnership handles suspensions and asks for at least 14 days’ notice, with payment due at least 14 days before the start date. IG7 addresses on the Hainault side apply to Redbridge Council instead. We’ll check your road when we look at the move and tell you if one is needed.

We recommend four to six weeks for most family homes, especially for a Friday or a summer date. That also leaves time for a parking suspension in Epping Forest, which needs two weeks’ notice. Shorter notice? Call us, because we do take on short-notice moves when the diary allows.

Yes. Grange Hill, Chigwell Row and the Hainault side of IG7 are all covered from our Ilford base, along with Buckhurst Hill and Loughton. ULEZ and parking rules change across this small area, so give us your full address when you enquire.

Yes. We can collect on your original moving date, load everything into a sealed container and hold it in our warehouse until you have the keys. Then we redeliver to the new address and rebuild anything we took apart. Add storage when you book, or call us if a delay comes up later.

Yes. Goods-in-transit insurance is included on every MET Removals move, so your belongings are insured while they’re in our care. If you have high-value items such as artwork or antiques, list them when we survey your home so we can check the cover with you.
