Removal company East London: what we cover
MET Removals works regularly across East London – Chingford, Hackney, Ilford, Royal Docks, South Woodford, Walthamstow, and into Essex at Barkingside, Brentwood, Buckhurst Hill, Chigwell, Romford, and Waltham Abbey. East London moves come with their own practical challenges: flat staircases and tight communal entrances, permit-controlled parking, red routes, and busy morning traffic through Stratford, the A12 corridor, and the City fringes.
Our East London removals service covers
From a one-bed flat in Hackney to a larger family home in Chingford, we handle the full move including furniture dismantling and reassembly.
Out-of-hours moves available to keep disruption low for your team and clients.
Our packing team arrives one or two days before your move date; boxes, bubble wrap, and packing paper are included.
Short or long-term storage from £25 per week for a standard 35 sq ft unit
Access and parking across East London
East London’s mix of Victorian terraces, purpose-built blocks, and newer riverside developments creates varied access conditions on move day. Victorian streets in Hackney and Walthamstow can be tight for a removal van, and on-street parking suspension is often worth arranging in advance – our team will advise when we quote.
Newer apartment blocks in Royal Docks, Stratford, and Canary Wharf typically involve loading bay restrictions, entry fob access, and lifts that need booking with the building manager ahead of time. Let us know your building name when you enquire and we’ll confirm the access picture before we commit to a start time.
The A12, A13, and the roads into the City get busy from 7am. We typically plan East London moves to start early and clear the loading before traffic builds through the morning peak.

What Our Customers Say About Us
All of the guys that were working on the move today were really friendly and ridiculously hard working, despite being on the second floor they were carrying everything up and down the stairs with ease. They also deal with your possessions with care.
Hoping that I will not be moving again for a long time but if I am I will definitely be booking you again.
Big thanks from Sean and Rocio.
They handled our belongings with great care and worked hard to ensure everything ran smoothly. Communication was clear, and they were consistently helpful and accommodating.
Overall, a highly professional and reliable service from start to finish, and one that would be recommended.
They asked helpful questions, checked I was happy with where things were going and kept the whole move feeling calm and organised. Michael was also very responsive throughout the booking, which made things simple from the start. They did a great job and I would happily recommend them.
I moved from London to Suffolk in October 2025 and overall it was a very good experience with Met Removals. The team were careful, organised, and the move itself went smoothly.
In a house full of furniture and belongings, only one item was damaged – a table that suffered a break to one of its legs. Even with the most careful removal team, these things can occasionally happen.
What really impressed me was how it was handled. Michael from Met Removals immediately suggested that I arrange a professional repair. Once I shared the quote, he confirmed he would settle the invoice, and that is exactly what he did.
It would be easy to write a review saying that nothing went wrong. When you trust a company with all of your belongings, of course you hope that everything will be perfect. The real test of good service, however, is how a company responds when something does go wrong. In this case, Met Removals dealt with it quickly, fairly, and without hesitation.
I would happily recommend them to anyone planning a house move. ✨️
Here's a picture of my beautiful table back in pride of place. 🙏
Very friendly and professional service from initial contact through to video quote and very efficient moving.
Was dreading the day but they made it pain free, quick and very stress free.
All 4 guys were hard working and did an excellent job. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
I spoke to Michael on the phone last week, within 1-2 days they fitted me in at very late notice for the site visit and booked the removals for the day I requested. He was contactable before the move, very accommodating and friendly for the start.
On the day I received a call letting me know the team were on the way. They worked from 0900-1700 with basically no breaks or lunch ( so we bought them pizza at the end of their very long day to say thank you!) Troy, Adam and Harrison were the kindest removals men I've met! They were so gentle, understanding, patient and looked after all of my belongings so well. They honestly made what could have been a very stressful day, pretty relaxed! It was such a pleasure to have met them all. They were very flexible, they went out of their way to help ( and even do extra jobs like moving a bed from one floor to another- which was staying in the house, they moved boxes from one room to another). I feel very blessed that I was given this recommendation! I will recommend MET to anyone 🙂 thank you all so much. 😊
If you’re looking for a reliable removal company, definitely give these guys a shout. So glad I went with them!
Thanks to Troy and the team!
They seamlessly moved us out of a three bedroom house. The guys Adam, Troy, Michael & Andre made moving day very enjoyable. Would highly recommend!
They arrived 2 hours after the agreed start time. We were given a reason for the delay. We wasn’t in a chain so didn’t have a huge impact but had we been, that would have been a very stressful start to the day. When the loading was taking place, a side draw fell from the van onto the floor (one of the men said did you see that, it just missed my head) and glass top from a cabinet fell onto the floor. Neither broke but it made us very nervous indeed. When it was time to unload, we found 2 cracks in either corner of our TV which we did point out, to be told they don’t know how that happened as they didn’t drop the TV. We tested the TV whilst they were here and the response was, at least it’s working. We have also noticed fair bit of damage our furniture as well as walls and doors to our new place. Some of these has scratch marks which are deep. We have spoken to the company post moving. We have been offered 5% compensation but in return I am not to post a negative feedback, we declined as our experience was what our experience was.
Just think no reviews less then 5 stars, is this possible? Are these reviews real? How many negative reviews have been offered some sort of refund in return no negative comments to be published? Also forgot to add I have been blocked from their Facebook account so I am unable to provide feedback on that.
FAQ
Mid-week days, particularly Tuesdays and Wednesdays, are generally the cheapest days to move. Demand is significantly higher on Fridays and weekends, which can lead to higher rates and limited availability. Booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance can also help secure lower fixed rates.
Most East London boroughs (like Hackney, Newham, and Tower Hamlets) have strict Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs). You must apply for a parking bay suspension or a yellow line waiver at least 10 working days before your move. We can advise you on the specific requirements for your local council to avoid fines on moving day.
Yes, most professional firms, including MET Removals, provide high-quality packing materials. We offer specialised wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, and heavy-duty tape. If you choose our full packing service, all materials are typically included in the quote.
