CityGrip / Removals & Man and Van
Man and Van Removals in Canning Town
For a Canning Town flat, house or furniture collection, start with the building entrance and the assistance needed at each end.
Driver only £60/h · One mover £80/h · Two movers £95/h
Removals daily, 8am–8pm.
For a Canning Town move, the block and loading entrance often give more useful information than the nearest station. Explain whether you are moving a complete flat, a room or selected furniture. Share any building or housing-team instructions that affect the handover.
A block name and loading entrance make the address usable.
For a Canning Town apartment, include the development or block name, floor and the entrance a van should use. A residential entrance near the station is not necessarily the loading point. Ask the building team about service lifts, height limits, delivery bookings and who will allow access on the day.
If there is a carry through a courtyard or corridor, describe it before the quote. Provide lift door and interior dimensions for large furniture, and explain any route that still uses stairs. Do not assume the public-facing address allows a van to enter a private service area.
Newham publishes information about regeneration and rehousing in Canning Town and Custom House. If your move is connected with a housing or regeneration process, confirm the agreed access and handover instructions with the responsible team. This service enquiry does not establish a council appointment, relocation entitlement or partnership.
Keep a seller collection separate from a whole-flat inventory.
For a furniture collection, give the seller's release time, the exact item, dimensions and known weight. Say whether anyone at collection can help. A short trip within Canning Town still needs suitable people for loading and unloading, especially when either address has stairs or a long carrying route.
For a complete flat move, include the boxes, furniture and anything in a separate store cupboard. Identify items that will not fit the lift assembled and request dismantling assessment in advance. If only part of a shared property is moving, label the belongings that are yours and provide an inventory rather than a room count alone.
If delivery is in Silvertown, elsewhere in the Royal Docks or across the river, send the actual postcode. We discuss the route and any applicable charges in the full quote; a nearby-looking destination on a map is not a fixed-price promise. Check the destination's parking and building arrangements independently of the collection.

Prepare your Canning Town enquiry.
Check which entrance is approved for furniture and who will allow access. If the move relates to a housing process, keep its confirmed handover instructions separate from the transport enquiry. We need the practical slot and load details without assuming a council appointment or agreed relocation entitlement.
Canning Town moving questions.
What do you need for a Canning Town apartment move?
Send the block name, both postcodes, floor, lift dimensions for large items, loading entrance and any delivery-slot booking. Include the inventory and help required at both addresses.
Are you appointed by Newham for a regeneration move?
No appointment or partnership is claimed on this page. If your move relates to rehousing, check arrangements with the responsible housing team and agree any CityGrip service separately.
What if my Canning Town building has a timed delivery slot?
Tell us the confirmed slot, the entrance it applies to and any lift booking. Include the collection window at the other address. A time supplied by one building does not establish that the full journey or the other property's arrangements have been agreed.
Should a store cupboard be included in my flat inventory?
Include its contents if they are moving, even when the cupboard is outside the main flat. Identify the access and key holder. Separate your belongings from items that stay and describe any furniture requiring assessment before the move.
A little preparation, a clearer moving day.
Make a list of furniture and packed boxes, including belongings in cupboards, lofts, garages or storage that are part of your move. Send dimensions and known weights for large or awkward items. Photographs can help explain the load and any difficult access.
Driver and van starts from £60/hour with no loading or unloading help: arrange your own helpers at both ends. One mover and van starts from £80/hour, or two movers and van from £95/hour. Tell us which help you need, then confirm the suitable vehicle, minimum hours, inclusions, any applicable charges and complete price.
Student moves from £100 with ground-floor loading help · Packing from £290 for 1–2 bedrooms or £500 for 3–4 bedrooms. Confirm the actual scope and whether materials and any applicable VAT are included in your quote.
Booking and moving information.
How do I get a removals quote?
Use the online quote form, call 07960 200253 or message us on WhatsApp with the postcodes, date and what is being moved. We give you the price upfront, before you book.
Is a quote a booking?
No. A quote request does not reserve a date. Nothing is booked until you have agreed the details and the price with us.
What size of van do you use?
We use small vans such as the Ford Transit Custom and Renault Trafic, Ford Transit short, medium and long wheelbase vans, and Luton vans. Luton vans with a tail lift are available. We recommend the van when we quote, and photos of the larger items sent on WhatsApp help.
What hours do you work?
Removals run seven days a week, from 8am to 8pm, and you can book for the next day until midnight.
Do you offer packing and furniture assembly?
Yes. Packing, taking furniture apart and assembly are available on request, and packing materials are available on advance notice only. Tick what you need on the quote form or tell us when you call, and we give you the price upfront.
What insurance do you have?
We hold hire and reward insurance. Goods in transit insurance is available at extra cost if you need it: ask for it when you request your quote, and check your own contents insurance as well.
What is your cancellation policy?
An £80 cancellation fee applies if you cancel with at least 24 hours' notice. If you cancel less than 24 hours before your move, 50% of the quoted fee applies. Cancellations cannot be accepted within 8 hours of the move, so the full quoted fee applies and is not refunded, unless the cancellation is because of a medical emergency supported by hospital records, in which case 50% of the quoted fee applies.
How can I pay?
You can pay by card or bank transfer.
