See What Your House Move Includes

Picture moving day. The van is outside, the kettle is packed, and a crew you have never met is about to carry everything you own down the stairs. The difference between a good day and a bad one is who turns up and how well the move was planned.

What's included

Every house move includes:

  • Our own trained crew
  • A van sized to your home
  • Protective blankets, wrapping and straps
  • Furniture taken apart and rebuilt at the other end

Your belongings are insured from the moment we load them to the moment we set them down.

Getting your quote

For a smaller move, a few photos on WhatsApp or a quick phone call is enough for an accurate quote. Larger homes get a free video survey over Zoom or FaceTime, so we can see the job and plan the day. You get a written quote, and the figure is agreed before moving day.

Where we move you

Local London moves

Stay within the M25. Most 1 to 3 bed homes are done in a single day, and our crew knows the parking rules, building access and tight corners across the city.

Long-distance UK moves

From London to any city or village in the country, planned door to door so your belongings arrive on schedule.

European moves

From London to Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels and beyond, handled door to door including any customs paperwork.

Moving only a few items? Our man and van service for single items may suit you better. Businesses relocating can see our office and business moves. If you would rather not pack, a full or partial packing service covers everything or just the fragile pieces, and we also move a piano or other specialist item.

Plan Around Your Property Type

No two homes move the same way. The property you are leaving, and the one you are moving into, shapes how we plan the day.

Flat and Apartment Moving Services width=

Flats

A lift speeds everything up.

Read more

Where there is no lift, we plan extra time for the stairs. Many London blocks ask you to book a lift slot or loading bay through building management, and we remind you of this when you book. Narrow communal hallways are wrapped and protected before anything leaves your door.

House Moving Services

Houses

Lofts, garages, sheds and gardens are easy to forget when you plan a move, so we ask about them during the survey and the quote covers them.

A driveway makes access simple. On a permit-controlled street, a parking suspension from the council keeps a space clear for the van.

Period Property - Removal Man Services

Period properties

Older London homes often have narrow staircases and low ceilings.

Now and then a large item has to go out through a window rather than down the stairs, and our crew carries the kit for it, having done it on hundreds of London moves.

Your Own Trained Crew

The movers who arrive are our own trained team, not agency drivers booked for the day. They are the people customers name in their reviews, which is rare in this trade.

Rates Published, Price Agreed

Our hourly rates are on the page, and the written quote is the figure you pay. No surprise charges appear on moving day.

Insured Door to Door

Your belongings are covered from the moment we load them to the moment they are in your new home, on every move, from a studio flat to a family house.

London, the UK and Europe

Local moves within the M25, long-distance moves to any UK city, and European moves to Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam and beyond. One crew, every kind of home move.

Plan for a Delayed Completion

In a London property chain, keys are not always handed over on time. Solicitors run late and chains stall, and it is rarely in your hands.

We build a little give into the schedule and agree a plan with you in advance, so there is no scramble on the day. If keys are a few hours late, your crew waits. If your date moves entirely, call as soon as you know, and we will do our best to shift the booking or find you the nearest slot.

Common Questions

House Removals Questions

Clear answers to the questions people ask before booking a house move with us.

020 3983 5849

How much does a house move in London cost?

Local moves are quoted on our hourly van rates, which start at 50 pounds an hour for a Transit van and 75 pounds for a Luton van, both with a one hour minimum. Final price depends on the size of your home, the floor, the distance and whether you want packing. Industry guides put a typical London move between about 500 pounds and 1,300 pounds by size, and we quote yours on its own details.

How long does a house move take?

Most local moves for 1 to 3 bed homes are done in a single day, usually between 4 and 8 hours depending on volume and access. Larger homes or long-distance moves can take a full day or run into a second. The expected timing is confirmed with your quote.

Do you move homes outside London?

Yes. We handle long-distance house moves from London to anywhere in the UK, and European moves to cities including Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam and Brussels. Long-distance and European jobs are quoted on volume and distance after a free video survey.

Can you pack and unpack as well as move?

We do. A full or partial packing service is available, using proper materials, and the team can pack your whole home or just the fragile and awkward items. Packing usually happens the day before or on the morning of the move.

Do I need a parking suspension for my move?

You may need one if your street has permit-controlled parking and no off-street space. Notice periods vary by borough, from a few working days up to two weeks or more, so apply through your borough council as soon as your date is set. Without a clear space, the van may have to park further away, which adds time.

Are you insured for house moves?

Yes, every house move is fully insured, covering your belongings from the moment we load them to the moment they are set down at your new home. This applies to every job, from a studio flat to a large family house.

What if my move date changes at short notice?

Call as soon as you know. Moves tied to a property chain can shift, and we will do our best to fit the new date. If the exact day is not free, we will find you the nearest slot.

Book Your London House Move

It is easy to assume the cheapest house moving quote is the best deal. The catch is the quote that quietly grows on moving day, once the van is loaded and you have no other option. A rate you can see up front, and a price agreed before the day, is what actually protects your budget. Tell us about your move and we will put that price in writing.
