Moving home in London doesn’t have to be stressful. At London Removals and Storage, we provide reliable, well-planned home removals carried out by experienced, trained and fully insured crews who move London households every day.
We handle everything from small flats to large family homes, carefully planning each move around London’s busy streets, parking restrictions, and access issues. Our focus is simple: protect your belongings, keep you informed, and complete your move safely and on time.
Whether you are moving across the road, across the city or out of London entirely, we tailor our service to suit your property, your possessions and your schedule.
Our service is flexible and suitable for:
From single-occupancy studios to multi-storey townhouses, we adjust the crew size, vehicle type and equipment so the move goes smoothly.
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need prior discussion:
If you’re unsure about a particular item, mention it during your enquiry and we’ll confirm what’s possible and how it’s covered.
You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We’ll ask a few key questions about your current property, destination, access, dates and any special items. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate and advise on the level of service that suits you best, from basic loading and transport through to full packing and unpacking.
For most home moves, we carry out a detailed survey. This can be a video call walkthrough or an onsite visit, depending on your preference and the size of the job. We assess the volume of belongings, parking, stairs or lifts, and any fragile or bulky items. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, team and time, and to give you a clear, written quote with no hidden extras.
We offer flexible packing options:
Furniture is prepared for transit, with items dismantled where needed, wrapped and protected. Floor coverings and banister protection can be used in both properties to prevent damage.
On move day, our trained crew arrive promptly, introduce themselves and run through the plan. We load your belongings systematically, using furniture blankets, mattress covers and webbing to secure everything in the vehicle. Our vehicles are clean, equipped for removals and covered by goods in transit insurance. We then transport your goods directly to your new address, unless storage has been arranged.
At your new home, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it and reassembling anything we dismantled. Boxes are stacked sensibly so you can unpack in your own time. Before leaving, we check you’re happy with the placement and go through a final walkthrough to ensure nothing has been missed.
We believe in clear, honest pricing. Your quote is based on:
All costs are explained in writing before you book. If your situation changes (extra items, new dates), we’ll update the quote and discuss any differences in advance, so there are no surprises on move day.
Using a professional removals company offers several key advantages over doing it yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van:
Your belongings and your property are important to us. London Removals and Storage provides:
We work to established industry standards, keep our vehicles well maintained and use appropriate protective materials on every move. Full details of cover and any limits or exclusions are available with your quotation.
We aim to move your home with care while minimising our impact on the environment:
Every item is handled as if it were our own, with extra attention for fragile, sentimental or irreplaceable belongings. *Clear labelling and careful stacking* help keep your move organised and efficient.
Whatever your situation, we’ll discuss what you need and propose a practical, cost-effective plan.
Costs vary depending on property size, access, distance and the level of service you choose. A small flat move may be completed with a smaller team and vehicle, while a large house with full packing will require more time and resources. We price each move individually after a short consultation and, where needed, a survey. Your written quote will clearly show what is included so you can compare options and choose the service that suits your budget and timescale.
We can often help with urgent or short-notice moves, especially within London, but it depends on vehicle and crew availability. If your completion date has changed or a tenancy has been brought forward, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll check our schedule. Where we can’t offer a full packing service at short notice, we may still be able to provide a loading and transport-only move. We’ll always be honest about what’s achievable on your preferred date.
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property. Insurance is subject to standard terms, conditions and limits, which we’re happy to explain in full before you book. For particularly high-value items, we may ask for written details so we can confirm how they are covered and if any additional arrangements or declarations are required.
A standard removal includes supplying a suitable vehicle, a trained crew, protective blankets and covers, loading at your current address, transport and unloading into the correct rooms at your new home. Many customers also add packing services, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and the supply of packing materials. Your quotation will list everything that is included so you know exactly what to expect on move day. We can also discuss storage, disposal of unwanted items and other extras if required.
A professional removals company provides structured planning, trained staff, appropriate equipment and formal insurance cover. With a casual man-and-van service, you may have limited protection if something is damaged, and there is often less support with packing, dismantling, and protecting your property. We carry out surveys, provide written quotes, and allocate the right size vehicle and team. This reduces the risk of delays, extra trips or last-minute issues, and gives you greater confidence that move day will run smoothly.
Where possible, we recommend booking as soon as you have a likely move date, particularly if you’re moving at the end of the month or during school holidays. Many customers book 2–4 weeks in advance, but we regularly accommodate moves arranged at shorter notice. Early booking gives you more choice of dates and allows time to arrange parking suspensions or permits if needed. If your date is not yet confirmed, we can still provide a provisional quote and hold a slot where practical.
