International Moves across Hackney, done properly
Leaving Hackney for overseas means packing standards and paperwork awareness, not just a big van. East London favourite for flat and house moves — narrow streets, conversions and busy weekend slots.
We survey, agree road/sea/air options and keep one UK contact through collection. Ideal around conversions, narrow Dalston streets and strong weekend demand around Hackney Central.
Narrow streets and resident parking are the main constraint. Early starts and bay suspensions help; weekend demand is high so book ahead. Storage is available if flight and collection dates don’t match.
Moving abroad takes more than a big van — it takes packing standards, paperwork awareness and partners you can trust at the other end. Our international moves service covers door-to-door relocations across Europe and beyond, coordinated from London.
We start with a survey and inventory, agree road, sea or air options, and pack to export standards where needed. You’ll have one UK contact who keeps the journey visible from collection to delivery.
Whether you’re relocating for work, study or a new chapter overseas, we keep the London end calm and professional so the rest of the journey has a solid start.

At Phi Movers, we believe in complete transparency and providing accurate, fixed-price quotes without hidden fees. The quoting process begins by understanding your specific moving details, such as the total volume of your belongings and property size. We also carefully assess access at both locations, checking for stairs, narrow hallways, or parking restrictions. Distance is also factored in. For larger moves, we offer a free video survey or in-person visit. This meticulous approach allows us to guarantee that the quote you receive is the final price.
The safety of your belongings is our absolute highest priority during every relocation. Every move we undertake is fully protected by comprehensive insurance policies. We carry robust Goods in Transit insurance, covering items against unforeseen damage during transport.

You can rest assured knowing you are financially protected, allowing you to focus on settling in.
Yes, we offer a comprehensive range of packing solutions tailored to meet your specific needs and budget. For a completely hands-off experience, our full packing service is ideal.

We carefully pack your entire household, paying special attention to fragile items. If you prefer packing yourself, we can deliver premium packing kits directly to your door. On moving day, we always provide complimentary wardrobe boxes and thick furniture blankets.
To secure your preferred date, we strongly recommend booking your move as early as possible, ideally between two to four weeks in advance. The end of the month, Fridays, and weekends are traditionally our busiest periods, making early booking crucial for peak times. Booking early also gives you ample time to organize packing and notify utility companies. However, we understand life can be unpredictable. We maintain a flexible fleet and a large team, allowing us to frequently accommodate last-minute, next-day, or even same-day moving requests across London depending on availability.
