Removals in London
House and flat moves across every London borough, planned around parking suspensions, lift bookings and the streets that a full-size lorry simply cannot use.
What makes a London move different
Most London streets were laid out for horses, not lorries. Victorian terraces, mansion block conversions and mews houses often have narrow access, no off-street parking and a management company that has to sign off any lift booking. None of that is unusual here, but it has to be planned for at survey rather than discovered on the day.
Most boroughs require a parking suspension for a removal lorry to load legally outside a property, applied for five to ten working days ahead, and the Congestion Charge and ULEZ zones cover most of inner and outer London. We plan the route, the permit and the vehicle around both, so there are no surprise charges on moving day.
How a London move works
After a quick survey — in person or over video — you get a fixed, itemised quote. Then it runs like this.
Survey and fixed price
A video walkthrough or a visit. We check the access at both ends and confirm whether a parking suspension or lift booking is needed. One itemised figure follows.
Permits arranged
Where a suspension or building lift booking is needed, we apply for it in good time, not the week of the move.
Pack, load and cross town
Our crew packs and loads at your door, with the route planned around the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and the worst of the traffic.
Delivery and reassembly
We carry in, place and reassemble. Where a lift is booked or a suspension is in place, it is already confirmed before the lorry arrives.

How much does a house removal in London cost?
A house removal in London typically costs between £180 and £2,200 depending on the size of your home, and most moves complete within a single day. A man-and-van suits a small flat or single room; a dedicated vehicle and crew suits a full household.
| Move size | Volume | Typical cost | Door-to-door |
|---|---|---|---|
| Man and van / small load | 5-10 m³ | £180 - £400 | Same day |
| 1-bed flat | 15-20 m³ | £300 - £550 | Same or next day |
| 2-bed home | 25-30 m³ | £450 - £900 | 1 day |
| 3-bed home | 35-45 m³ | £700 - £1,400 | 1 day |
| 4-bed home or larger | 50-65 m³ | £1,100 - £2,200 | 1-2 days |
- Every figure includes the vehicle, the crew, fuel and mileage.
- Access affects the price: a parking suspension, a lift booking or a long carry are priced at survey, not added on the day.
- Longer-distance UK moves (over roughly 100 miles) sit toward the top of each range because the vehicle is on the road longer.
The table above is a guide. Your exact price comes from a free survey.
Two flats of the same size on different streets are different jobs. Five things set the figure.
- Volume — of your belongings, measured at survey
- Access — including floor, lift, stairwell width and whether a parking suspension is needed
- Packing — from full professional packing to fragile items only or none at all
- Dedicated van or man-and-van — which suits a smaller move
- Timing — since weekends and month-end are the busiest days across London
