Packing & Unpacking in Croydon usually comes down to access: where the van can legally stop, how many flights of stairs there are, and whether the lift takes furniture. Tell us those when you ask for a quote and they are priced in writing — not discovered on the day.

We pack the whole home, or just the things you would rather not pack yourself. The crew brings the boxes, wrap and wardrobe cartons, and a packing package covers labour and materials in one published price.

We bring the materials. Boxes, tape, bubble wrap and wardrobe cartons arrive with the crew and are itemised in your quote, so there is nothing to buy or collect first.

Council rules

What the council says about moving day in Croydon

Published by the authorities themselves, with a link to each. Rules and fees change, so check the source before you rely on them.

Reserving space outside the property: Croydon Council
Croydon asks for a minimum of 10 working days before the date you need a bay suspended. For residents it lists a £46 administration charge plus a suspension fee of £46 a day in Central CPZ bays or £35 a day in all other bays. You apply by emailing parkingsuspension@croydon.gov.uk with a phone number so the council can call back to take payment. The page describes suspensions in general and does not mention house moves, so ask the council whether yours qualifies.

ULEZ covers every London borough
The Ultra Low Emission Zone has covered all London boroughs since 29 August 2023. A van that does not meet the ULEZ emissions standard is charged for each day it is driven inside the zone, so ask whichever company you book which vehicle will be used and check it with TfL's vehicle checker.

“We could not recommend AFS Removals highly enough. Their professionalism, organisation, and attention to detail throughout the entire moving process were exceptional. Every member of the team was friendly, reliable, and committed.”
Alin Necula

“We had a slightly complicated move, with our belongings shipped from London to France. AFS Removals team (led by Kim and Lee) were absolutely wonderful. They followed up on every aspect of the move to each country and stayed in touch throughout.”
Siobhan Harper-Nunes
Office Removals & Clearance
“Thoughtful, professional & hard working. They did not stop! I had 3 offices to clear & 3 hours to do it in. I was having a meltdown and they were patient and accommodating. Job done. Happy move.”

Packing & Unpacking in Croydon: common questions

Do you cover all of Croydon?

Yes. We cover all of Croydon and the rest of Greater London, and we move people to and from anywhere in the UK. A long-distance move is priced from the same rate card as a local one — it just has more miles on it.

What are your prices for packing & unpacking in Croydon?

The same as everywhere we work — our rates do not change by postcode. For example, 3-bedroom home: £1,000 (3 packers, up to 6 hours, materials allowance included). Labour and a set allowance of boxes, tape and wrap in one price. The move itself is quoted separately from the hourly rate card; packages run to seven bedrooms. Your itemised written quote arrives within 24 hours.

How far is Croydon from your nearest office?

About 11 miles from our London office. The time in your quote runs from the crew's arrival at your address, and the mileage is worked out from the road distance between your two addresses.

Do I need to arrange parking for moving day in Croydon?

Often, yes. The council rules we have found for Croydon are listed on this page with links to the official pages, including how much notice a parking suspension needs. Tell us what you have arranged when you book, and we plan the vehicle around it.

Do I have to pay for boxes and materials?

Yes, but you never have to source them. A packing package includes an allowance of boxes, tape, bubble wrap and wardrobe cartons in its price. If you are packing yourself, the crew can bring materials and they are itemised in your quote.

Can I book packing for the fragile items only?

Yes. Fragile-only packing covers glass, china, artwork, mirrors and anything else you would rather have wrapped professionally, while you pack the rest yourself.

Will boxes be labelled for the right room?

Yes. Boxes are labelled for the room they are going to at the new address, which is what makes unloading a directed job rather than a guessing game.
