London Removals and Storage is one of London’s trusted removal companies, providing careful, well-organised moves for homes and businesses across the capital. With years of hands-on experience, we combine practical know-how with a calm, professional approach to make moving day as straightforward as possible.
We provide a complete removals service, from initial planning through to placing furniture in the right rooms at your new property. Whether you are moving a one-bed flat or a multi-storey office, our professional, trained teams handle your belongings with care and attention.
Every move is different. We tailor our service to your property, access, timings and budget, while maintaining clear communication throughout. You will have a single point of contact who oversees your move from start to finish.
Moving in London presents specific challenges: tight stairwells, parking restrictions, red routes, and busy building entrances. Our crews work across London every day and understand how to plan around these issues.
This local knowledge helps keep your move on schedule and reduces stress on the day.
We regularly move families and individuals between houses and flats of all sizes. From full packing and dismantling services to simple load-and-go moves, we adapt to what you need, protecting floors, banisters and doors throughout.
For tenants, timing and deposit protection are key. We work around check-in/check-out appointments, protect the property during the move, and can provide basic cleaning and rubbish removal referrals if required.
We assist landlords with tenant changeovers, partial removals, and full house clearances. Our team can remove unwanted furniture, prepare properties for new tenants, and move stored items between locations or storage units.
Our office and commercial removals service supports SMEs, professional practices and larger organisations. We move desks, IT equipment, stock and archives, with organised labelling and out-of-hours options to minimise downtime.
Students moving to or from London halls or shared houses benefit from a cost-effective, smaller-scale service. We can handle single rooms or part-loads, including shared vans for flexible dates.
Most standard moves can include:
To keep pricing clear, some items and tasks are excluded from a standard removals quote, but can often be added by arrangement:
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, just ask during the survey and we will advise.
You contact us by phone or online with your move details: addresses, dates, property size, and any special items. We ask a few focused questions to understand your requirements, then provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey for more accuracy.
We carry out either a video call survey or an onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, staircases, lift use, and the volume of belongings. We identify items needing dismantling, special packing or extra manpower, then issue a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.
Depending on your choice, our trained packers can handle everything, or we supply materials for you to pack. For full packing, we usually attend the day before the move, carefully wrapping fragile items, boxing belongings by room and labelling clearly for easy unpacking.
On moving day, the team arrives on time, protects floors and key surfaces, and systematically loads your belongings. Furniture is wrapped and secured, boxes are stacked to avoid crushing, and everything is logged. Your goods are then transported in our fully insured vehicles directly to your new address or into storage.
At your new property, we unload room by room, placing furniture where you want it and stacking boxes sensibly for easy access. If we dismantled furniture, we reassemble it as agreed. Once finished, we walk through with you to ensure everything is in the right place.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:
You receive a detailed written quotation outlining what is included, any optional extras, and our insurance cover. There are no unexpected charges on the day unless you request additional services.
Hiring a professional removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using an informal man-and-van:
While a DIY move may appear cheaper at first glance, the time, risk of injury, potential breakages and vehicle hire costs often outweigh any saving.
We take responsibility for your possessions seriously. London Removals and Storage operates with:
Before your move, we will explain our cover in plain language and answer any questions so you understand exactly how your goods are protected.
We aim to move your belongings safely while minimising environmental impact:
During the move we use protective blankets, covers and floor runners to prevent damage to both your property and your belongings. Our crews are instructed to treat your items as if they were their own.
From studio flats to large family homes, we handle day-to-day household moves across London and beyond. We help with decluttering, packing fragile items and coordinating with agents or solicitors when chains are involved.
For offices, shops and other commercial premises, we provide structured move plans, crate labelling systems and IT coordination. Out-of-hours and weekend moves help you keep trading with minimal disruption.
Sometimes moves need to happen quickly due to changes in circumstances, tenancy dates or contract issues. Subject to availability, we can arrange short-notice or even same-day moves, bringing in additional crews where needed to meet your deadline.
Costs depend on the volume of goods, access, distance and level of service. A small flat move with basic loading and transport will typically cost far less than a large family home with full packing, dismantling and reassembly. After a brief discussion and survey, we provide a fixed quotation so you know exactly what you will pay before you book. There are no hidden charges; any optional extras are clearly listed for you to accept or decline.
Subject to availability, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves, particularly for smaller properties or partial loads. The more information you can provide when you call, the faster we can confirm whether we have the right crew and vehicle available. Where same-day is not possible, we will offer the earliest feasible slot and can sometimes provide a temporary storage solution if your moving dates do not align perfectly.
We carry goods in transit insurance that covers your belongings while they are in our care, as well as public liability cover for work at both properties. The precise limits and terms are outlined in our quotation and discussed before you confirm your booking. For particularly high-value items or specialist collections, we may recommend additional cover or specific packing arrangements, and will explain your options clearly so you can make an informed decision.
A standard removals service typically includes a pre-move assessment, provision of a professional crew and vehicle, loading, secure transport, and unloading at your new address. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, place items in the appropriate rooms, and reassemble basic items we dismantled, if agreed in advance. Optional extras such as packing, storage, specialist handling or out-of-hours moves can be added as needed and will be clearly itemised in your written quotation.
A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, simple jobs, but a professional removals company offers trained staff, fully insured vehicles, appropriate equipment and structured planning. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute cancellations. We carry out surveys, provide written quotes, and follow established procedures for packing, lifting and loading. For most household and business moves, this reliability and protection more than justifies the modest difference in cost.
Ideally, you should book your removal as soon as your moving date is reasonably certain, often two to four weeks in advance for busy periods such as month-end or summer. This gives us time to arrange surveys, parking suspensions and packing if required. That said, we regularly accommodate short-notice moves where capacity allows, so it is always worth calling, even if your date is close. Early booking simply gives you more choice of dates and times.
