What Croydon books
What do removal companies in Croydon handle?
House removals in Croydon
Edwardian terraces near Cedar Road, semis in Addiscombe and Shirley, family houses in Sanderstead and Purley. For house removals, ask for a survey — in person or by video — so the price covers every room, the loft and the shed.
Flats in the town-centre towers
Ten Degrees on George Street is two linked towers of 38 and 44 storeys, with 546 rental homes. Blocks like that run on booked lift slots and a set loading area. Get the building's move-in rules and pass them on with your flat removals request.
Man with a van in Croydon
A studio near East Croydon, a room share in Thornton Heath, one wardrobe going to Selsdon. That size of job suits a man and van booking, usually charged by the hour. Pick it on the form and say how many people you need to lift.
Office and business removals
Moving a shop or an office in central Croydon? Ask for office removals or commercial removals quotes. A business pays the council's commercial rate for a bay: a £57 admin fee and £57–£68 a day, as of November 2026.
European removals and storage
Heading abroad? Our European removals guide explains customs paperwork and how part loads work. For a gap between the sale and the new keys, storage is priced by the week, so get it itemised on the quote.
The local reality
How do you reserve parking for a removal van in Croydon?
Croydon Council handles two kinds of request by email. Both need at least 10 working days' notice, and both are subject to availability.
- Bay suspension — keeps a parking bay clear. Residents pay a £46 admin fee plus £35 a day, or £46 in central CPZ bays.
- Dispensation — lets a vehicle park on yellow lines outside the address. Residents pay £33–£43 a day (central zone is the higher rate), plus the same admin fee.
- Include a phone number. The council calls back to take payment, and acts only once you've paid.
Fees are as of November 2026 and change each April. The council's page doesn't mention removals by name, so describe the move and the van size when you email.

What about the trams?
Trams share the road in parts of the town centre. Highway Code rule 302 says don't stop on any part of a tram track except in a designated bay, and never park where you'd get in a tram's way. If your door is on a tram street, tell each company so it can plan a side-street spot and a longer carry.

Local knowledge
Which areas do removal companies covering Croydon reach?
- Central Croydon, Addiscombe, Shirley and New Addington (CR0) — Croydon Council. CR0 also reaches Beddington, in Sutton.
- South Croydon, Sanderstead and Selsdon (CR2) — Croydon Council.
- Thornton Heath (CR7) — Croydon, with a corner of Merton.
- Purley and Kenley (CR8), Coulsdon (CR5) — the towns are in Croydon. Both districts run over the edge into Sutton or Surrey.
- Mitcham (CR4) — shared by Merton, Croydon and Sutton.
- Caterham and Whyteleafe (CR3), Warlingham (CR6) — Tandridge District Council, in Surrey, for the towns themselves.
A CR postcode doesn't always mean Croydon Council. Check whose parking rules apply before you book a bay. Surrey addresses sit outside Greater London, so the ULEZ (£12.50 a day for a non-compliant van) stops at the border. The whole borough is inside it, and outside the Congestion Charge zone.

Budgeting it
What Croydon moves actually cost
Postcode is close to irrelevant to a removal quote. Volume, distance and access do almost all the work. Published ranges by property size live in the removal costs guide, and the cost calculator turns your details into an estimate straight away.
Good to know
Moving in Croydon: FAQs
How much notice does Croydon need for a parking suspension?
At least 10 working days. Email the council's parking suspension team with a phone number. They call back to take payment, and nothing is actioned until you've paid.
How much does a parking suspension cost in Croydon?
For residents, a £46 admin fee plus £35 a day for most bays, or £46 a day in central CPZ bays, as of November 2026. Businesses pay a £57 admin fee and £57–£68 a day.
Can the removal van park on a yellow line in Croydon?
Only with a dispensation, which Croydon says is for parking on yellow lines. Residents pay £33–£43 a day plus the £46 admin fee, as of November 2026, with the same 10 working days' notice.
Can a removal van park on a tram line in Croydon?
No. Highway Code rule 302 says never stop on any part of a tram track outside a designated bay. A tram cannot steer round a van, so plan a loading spot in a side street.
Do I pay the ULEZ for a removal in Croydon?
Only if the van is non-compliant — £12.50 a day. The whole borough is inside the ULEZ but outside the Congestion Charge zone. Caterham and Warlingham are in Surrey, outside London.
Is there a man and van service in Croydon?
Yes. Pick man and van on the quote form for a studio flat, a few rooms or a single item. Say the floor, whether there is a lift, and where the van can stop.
