Fragile time-critical courier in Hammersmith
Tasito provides dedicated fragile and time-critical courier services across Hammersmith and the surrounding business areas, including the Broadway and Lyric Square offices, the media and production businesses along the river and the units off Fulham Palace Road. From cameras, lenses and flight-cased kit to screens, displays and framed work, we collect directly from your premises and take the consignment straight to its destination in a vehicle matched to the item, with the handling agreed before anything is loaded.
Most of what we move in Hammersmith is office and production work: screens and presentation material into the Broadway buildings, and camera, lighting and AV kit for shoots with a fixed start. Bookings run until 4pm, and on a run across London a day's notice lets us choose the hour.
The parts of Hammersmith we collect from
The office blocks around the Broadway and Lyric Square run goods-in with booked slots and a named recipient. Loading along the Broadway is restricted through most of the working day and there is no service yard, so we send the smallest vehicle that carries the item and ask for a contact who can meet the driver at a fixed time.
The media and production businesses along the river and the units off Fulham Palace Road send cases, lenses, lighting and AV kit, usually valuable rather than heavy and usually against a shoot deadline. Give us the building name as well as the number, because the frontages run together.
How the roads and charges work
Hammersmith is outside the Congestion Charge zone, but the quickest route across London from Essex passes through it. Going round on the A40 and the North Circular avoids the charge and takes longer. We price both routes before we set off, and on a fragile consignment we normally recommend the steadier run unless the deadline rules it out.
Hammersmith is inside ULEZ, which covers every London borough, and any charge that applies to the vehicle is in the price before we go. There is no river crossing on this run.
How the consignment is handled
Your consignment travels on its own, with no co-loading and no depot stop. Cases and kit are strapped so nothing shifts on a long run across the city, screens travel upright, and nothing rests on a finished face.
We do not pack or build cases. The driver will tell you at your premises if the wrapping is not up to the journey, and an item that needs a case is flagged at booking. Our part ends with the signature at the agreed point.
What we send and what fits
Documents, cases and small equipment go in a short wheelbase, which can stop legally in places nothing larger can. Most kit runs fit a medium wheelbase.
Anything long or flat goes on the flat bed rather than being turned inside a van. Where a piece needs two people at the far end, the second person is booked with the vehicle. The fleet page has dimensions for every class.
Where Hammersmith work goes
Back across London to Essex, or on to other London addresses where there is more than one drop. Getting here is the long part of the job, so a second drop in west London adds comparatively little.
Other services we run in Hammersmith
Same-day courier where the item is sturdy and only the clock matters. Two-man delivery for equipment going up to a floor. Multi-drop for several west London drops on one planned route. Next-day courier for a delicate item that can wait for a morning slot.

Hammersmith questions
Same-day already means a dedicated vehicle and no depot handling. A fragile booking also fixes the route, the hour, how the item is restrained, who meets the driver and who signs, all agreed before the van moves.
No. Packing and case-making are separate trades. We carry what you hand over, and if the wrapping will not survive the journey, the driver will tell you at your premises before loading.
Hammersmith is outside the zone, but the quickest route across London passes through it. The A40 and the North Circular avoid it and take longer. We price both before we set off and you choose.
We send the smallest vehicle that carries the item, at a fixed time, and ask for a named contact at the door with a mobile number. There is very little scope to wait on that stretch, so the contact matters as much as the vehicle.
Yes, with a second person booked at the same time. Tell us about the stairs or the lift when you book.
Yes. Give us the call time and the address and we plan the run back from it, with time in hand for the cross-London leg.
A day ahead lets us choose the hour and the vehicle, which is worth having on a run across London. At shorter notice we take the booking where a vehicle is free and tell you plainly if one is not.
Yes. ULEZ covers every London borough, and any charge that applies to the vehicle is in the price before we go.
