Two-man delivery in Hammersmith
Tasito provides dedicated two-man delivery services across Hammersmith and the surrounding business areas, including the offices at Lyric Square and the Broadway, the units off Fulham Palace Road, and the studios and media businesses by the river. From equipment, cases and production kit to display stock and office furniture, a crew of two travels with the vehicle and carries each item in and positions it on the floor it is going to, with the access agreed before anything is loaded.
Hammersmith is offices and media rather than industry, so almost nothing here receives at a dock. 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 media and production businesses send kit, cases and equipment, usually against a shoot deadline and usually to a studio door rather than a bay. A case is rarely heavy so much as awkward for one person, which is why these are crewed jobs.
The office blocks around the Broadway run goods-in with booked slots and a named recipient. The larger institutional sites need the department, the contact and the goods-in reference, so give us all three when you book.
How the roads and charges work
Hammersmith is outside the Congestion Charge zone, but the quickest route across London from Essex passes through it. The A40 and the North Circular avoid the charge and take longer, so we price both routes before we set off. Hammersmith is inside ULEZ, which covers every London borough, and any charge that applies to the vehicle is in the price. There is no river crossing on this run.
The gyratory and the flyover are the pinch points, and loading is restricted along most of the Broadway. We agree the arrival time and ask for a contact who can meet the crew, so the vehicle is not held on a restricted street.
How the consignment is handled
The crew carries each item off the vehicle, through the entrance and up to the floor, and sets it in place. Packaging goes back with us where that was agreed at booking.
Rigging, installation and removing old equipment are separate work, and production kit stays in its cases until your own crew is there. Tell us the goods lift and its internal depth, the floor, the tightest doorway and the longest case when you book.
What we send and what fits
Mostly the smaller end. A short or medium wheelbase stops legally more easily while two people work, and kit and cases often travel better on the flat bed than in a larger van.
Larger moves go in a long or extra-long wheelbase, and the box Luton brings a tail lift where the receiving address has no equipment of its own. 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 one pair of hands is all the load needs. Fragile and time-critical courier for a delicate item with a fixed deadline. Multi-drop for several west London drops on one planned route. Next-day courier where tomorrow morning is soon enough.

Hammersmith questions
The previous day, where you can. The crew is allocated with the vehicle, and on a cross-London run that booking is also what buys you the hour and the road.
Because the fastest way across London runs through the zone even though your address does not sit inside it. Both options come to you: the Embankment with the charge on it, or the slower A40 with no charge at all. Against a tight deadline the charge usually costs less than the delay does.
Yes, and it is a good share of the work here. Cases and awkward equipment often travel better on the flat bed than in a larger van, with the crew handling the carry into the building.
No. Carried in and positioned where you want it on the floor it is going to. Rigging, installation and commissioning are a separate trade, so send us your crew's time if the two have to meet.
Common here. The smallest vehicle the load will fit is what we send, and we want somebody able to come down to meet the crew. With loading restricted along most of the Broadway, the arrival time gets agreed instead of a vehicle circling.
Yes, and a postcode will not do it. What we want is the department, the contact and whatever reference the goods-in desk works to. A site that size runs its own loading areas and its own procedures, and without those details a crew waits.
The delivery address decides it. Tell us the item, the floor it is going to and how it gets in, and we will tell you which you need at booking.
Where the building runs booked goods-in, yes. Give us the slot, the named recipient and a mobile number, and the crew goes straight in.
Send us the postcodes and what is moving. You get a price in seconds and a driver within the hour.
