Choosing your loading help

Start with your full item list. Check bulky furniture, boxes and access at both addresses before choosing your van.

Load yourself or book the help you need for heavy items, stairs and carrying distances.

How your booking works

A Poplar flat move works best with a clear admission and furniture route. Give the actual block or residential door, floor and contact who can open shared access. Separate your travelling belongings from items staying behind, and coordinate the prepared load with any agreed building window and delivery access.

A straightforward three-step booking process, with clear pricing and customer support from start to finish.
  1. Tell us about your move

    Share your addresses, moving date, access details, vehicle size and loading help.
  2. We calculate one clear move price

    We calculate and show your booking price from the move details you provide before you book.
  3. Book through Find My Man and Van

    After booking, we allocate a suitable vetted driver and support your booking from confirmation to completion.

Planning your move in Poplar

Poplar includes different residential approaches within the Lansbury setting. Tower Hamlets’ appraisal describes maisonettes above the Chrisp Street shops and housing grouped around small greens. A shopfront or green-side address therefore needs the actual residential door and route to the lawful van position in the brief. Our building-access checklist helps establish the current admission contact, furniture route and any appointment. Ask about the stairs inside a maisonette as well as shared access; each block’s present arrangements need confirming.

Confirm admission and the complete flat route

Confirm admission and the complete flat route

Give the actual residential entrance, flat floor and available admission contact. Include internal maisonette stairs, shared corridors and any permitted furniture lift. Confirm the prepared inventory, building window and receiving access before selecting space and carrying help for both ends.

Find the residential door behind the address

Find the residential door behind the address

The Lansbury appraisal records maisonettes above the Chrisp Street shopping precinct. If collecting from that setting, ask the occupier which door and staircase serve the home; the shop address alone leaves the furniture exit unclear.

Its account of homes arranged around small greens also makes the final approach worth describing. Identify the actual block or front door, lawful vehicle position and intervening carry. This historic layout evidence provides context, while the occupier or building manager confirms current admission and moving arrangements.

Prepare the tenancy load and the largest piece

Prepare the tenancy load and the largest piece

For an end-of-tenancy collection, identify what belongs to you and what remains at the property. List furniture in its travelling state, with packed boxes and fragile pieces separately. Agree any optional dismantling and keep parts labelled, using the rental handover checklist to keep keys and checkout essentials available.

Measure any permitted service-lift opening, cabin and the corridor to your flat. Include stairs for pieces taking another route, plus internal stairs in a maisonette. Ask about protection, vehicle registration or an appointment where your building requires these, and have a contact ready to maintain admission.

Join street loading and building windows

Join street loading and building windows

Check Tower Hamlets’ suspension and dispensation guidance for the actual public-road arrangement. Estate loading and service-lift permission remain matters for the building or land manager. Give the vehicle entrance and barrier contact where relevant.

Put both building windows and receiving keys into the London scheduling plan. Include the complete prepared inventory, corridors, stairs and selected help using the quote-preparation guide.

Hypothetical example: a maisonette tenancy handover

Hypothetical example: a maisonette tenancy handover

Imagine moving your prepared bed, desk and boxes from a maisonette above Chrisp Street shops. The occupier identifies the residential door and internal stairs, with landlord-owned furniture staying behind. You measure the largest sections, agree the loading position and ensure the recipient can open the delivery entrance.

Book through the London page with those arrangements. For an entire household, explore London removals.
