Areas we
cover.

East Dulwich (SE22) along Lordship Lane and the streets running back to Peckham Rye; Dulwich Village (SE21) within the Dulwich Estate; Herne Hill (SE24) at the western edge. The Dulwich Estate has restricted-parking rules and gate-controlled streets that catch movers out — we book the bay suspension and the load window before the morning. The housing stock is Georgian and Victorian in the village; Victorian terrace dominates East Dulwich; Herne Hill is mostly Edwardian semi.

The closest of the outer-catchment cluster — five miles north of the Bromley base, via the A20 corridor or the more scenic A205 South Circular. Eltham proper is 1930s semi-detached on the New Eltham side, post-war estate around Avery Hill and Mottingham, and Edwardian terrace along the Eltham High Street feeder. Eltham Palace sits in the middle of the borough as a National Trust context, though it has no operational impact on a removal beyond making the directions easy to give.

Greenwich proper sits on the Thames at the north end of the borough — West Greenwich and the Royal Hill conservation area are Georgian terrace and narrow lanes, while Greenwich Peninsula at the east is dominated by the new tower flats around North Greenwich station. We work both; the conservation streets near the park need careful access planning, while the Peninsula flat blocks have building-manager protocols and lift bookings as the standard work.

The Elizabeth Line transformed Woolwich — the Royal Arsenal redevelopment has been adding new flat blocks for the better part of a decade, and the loading-bay coordination is now the standard work of the load morning. The older housing stock at Plumstead and Woolwich Common is Victorian terrace and inter-war semi; access is wider and the survey-by-photo workflow handles most of it. We collect routinely from the Royal Arsenal flats, Plumstead, and the Woolwich Common edge.

Already named in the primary BR-postcode catchment — listed here for completeness rather than as an outer collection. Orpington proper runs from the High Street out to Petts Wood (BR5), Locksbottom (BR6), and the Knockholt boundary at the Kent border. Mostly 1930s and post-war semi-detached, with some larger detached around the Petts Wood Hawthorndene estate. Same-day pickup, no premium.

The wealthier south-Croydon belt — Webb Estate, Purley Oaks, Kenley, Riddlesdown. Large detached on narrow private roads (Webb Estate especially), 1930s semis along Whytecliffe Road and the Brighton Road feeder, the occasional Edwardian villa around the station. The A23 runs through, so feeder access is direct. The Webb Estate roads need careful lorry planning; we visit in person where the survey warrants it.

The Kent-border edge of the catchment — Swanley proper sits at the junction of the M25 and the A20, with New Ash Green to the east and Crockenhill to the south. Mostly 1950s and 1960s semi-detached with some newer infill; access is wide, the lorry sits outside, the survey is mostly photo-only. Swanley loads run on a routine pickup basis — there is no premium for crossing the GLA boundary.
