International Removals from Sutton
Sutton lists domestic removals as free, and the emission zone edge on Brighton Road
A few short questions. Nothing is sent until you check and confirm.
Is a removal bay free in Sutton?
The council says so, but the wording leaves one fee open. Sutton's page reads “There is a £112.00 administration fee for suspensions. Funerals and domestic removals are free.” The sentence about being free follows the administration fee, so ask the council whether the £112.00 is waived for a house move before you pay it.
Ask early: “Apply at least 7 working days before you require the suspension to start.” The page prices a normal bay suspension at “A bay suspension costs £40 per bay/per day.”, and unrestricted highway at £30 per 100 metres a day. Check all of them on the council's own parking page.
Dispensation instead of a bay
If you only need the lorry to wait, the council sells a dispensation for “domestic removals if you’re moving house The cost is £39.00 per vehicle, per day.” That suits a street without bays, but it does not close a space, so another car can still be there when you arrive.
On that point Sutton is blunt: “We aren't able to remove the vehicle.” It can issue a penalty charge notice, but the car stays, so find out from the removal firm what happens if the space is taken.
Where does the emission zone end in Sutton?
On Brighton Road. TfL says “Brighton Road From the junction with Downs Road, Brighton Road going north is inside the ULEZ. Going south Brighton Road is outside the zone”. A van that works from the south of the borough can stay outside the zone, but one that heads north crosses into it, and a vehicle that does not meet the standard is charged for the day it enters.
Charges and heavy-lorry rules are on the London removals page, and red routes are in the London parking lookup. Wimbledon covers Merton's rules next door and Kingston the town-centre prices, and the London guide lists everything else.
