London Removals

Why sectors

London is five cities

A borough list is a poor way to plan a removal. Thirty-two names tell you nothing about what a moving day will involve, and most of them get the same four sentences.

The five sectors are more honest, because they actually differ. North London is hills and big Edwardian family houses with converted lofts. East is the widest mix of building types in the country, on the narrowest streets. South is conversion flats and shared staircases. West is listed stucco and mansion blocks with the strictest parking in Britain. Central is red routes, charges and almost nowhere to stand a lorry.

Pick your sector and you will find the constraints that actually apply, described plainly.

London by sector

What we always do

  • Survey both addresses before quoting — loft, cellar and garage included.
  • Check the street: red route, CPZ, width, turning, market days.
  • Deal with the managing agent, lift booking and insurance evidence.
  • State the Congestion Charge and ULEZ position before you book.
  • Tell you if a local firm in this network knows your borough better.

What we do

Six services

What each includes
  • House and home removals

    Whole-home moves anywhere in the capital, surveyed properly and quoted in writing.

  • Flat and apartment moves

    Lifts, stairs, concierge bookings and what the managing agent insists on.

  • Family-home moves

    More floors, more accumulation, and a handover that cannot slip.

  • Man and van

    Single rooms, part loads and collections, with the same protection as a full removal.

  • Packing and storage

    Full or fragile-only packing, and sealed containers for the gap between completions.

  • Long-distance out of London

    Direct or shared loads to anywhere in mainland Britain.

Questions

Questions about moving in London

The full list is on the FAQ page — or just ask.

Do you cover all of London?

Yes — north, east, south, west and central, all thirty-two boroughs and the City. This site is organised by sector because the five parts of London genuinely behave differently, and knowing which one you are in tells you most of what matters.

Will a lorry fit down my street?

In East and inner South London, often it will get in but cannot turn — so the approach and the exit both get planned, and sometimes a smaller shuttle is the honest answer. We check the street rather than trusting a map, particularly where regeneration has changed the layout.

What about the Congestion Charge and ULEZ?

Both apply to central moves and we are clear about which charges your move attracts before you book. They go on the quote rather than appearing afterwards as a surprise.

My street is a red route.

Then there is no stopping at all during controlled hours, so kerbside loading is not available. We work from a side street with a carry, start outside the controlled period, or arrange a dispensation. It is planned, not improvised.

Do you handle managing agents and lift bookings?

Yes. Notifying the agent, booking the service lift and loading bay, and supplying insurance evidence are routine parts of a London move and all of them take lead time. We do that correspondence.

Is there a local firm that knows my borough better?

Sometimes, and we will say so. Several boroughs in this network have dedicated local sites with street-level knowledge. We cover the whole capital; where one of them serves your address better, we point you to it.

Both addresses, the floor at each end, and whether either building is managed. That is enough for us to tell you how the day will run.
