Cheap Removals near Highbury & Islington

The published card: Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 per hour, 3 Men £100 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum, so the floor is £140. From this station's own guide: Studio in a new-build block near the station, Driver Help: £70 × 2 hours = £140; One-bedroom mansion block flat on Highbury Fields, 2 Men: £85 × 3 hours = £255. Council parking charges are the council's and sit outside the quote.

For residents, Islington charges £164.80 for the first day, which covers the administration charge and the first day’s parking for the spaces needed within the bay.. Notice: 14 days for most bay types. You apply and pay Islington; we confirm the street, the spaces and the date before anything is submitted, and the charge is never added to the removals quote.

Take studio in a new-build block near the station, driver help: removals £140 (£70 × 2 hours), plus the council line: for residents, Islington charges £164.80 for the first day, which covers the administration charge and the first day’s parking for the spaces needed within the bay. That is £164.80. All in, the illustration comes to £304.80, before any stair charges (£5 per floor where the carry is by stairs). The council part is paid to the council, not to us.

Driver Help at £70 per hour, £140 at the 2-hour minimum, where one mover with the van genuinely covers the job: a single room, a light flat load, the kind of job that starts around Highbury Corner and the station forecourt. The mover loads and carries at this tier too; you can lend a hand if you wish, but you are never required to. Where the load needs two people carrying at once, 2 Men at £85 is the honest cheap option, because a struggling one-person job that runs long costs more in hours.

Yes, when the hours fall faster than the rate rises. On the card, 3 Men for 2 hours is £200, which is less than 2 Men for 3 hours at £255. On a move with a long carry or several flights near Highbury & Islington, the third pair of hands can take an hour off the job and lower the total. Your written quote sets out the crew maths before you book.

£5 per floor for each floor above ground where the team carries by stairs, at pickup, at delivery, or both. Floors served by a lift are not charged, and the ground floor is £0. The written quote itemises every floor charge before you book.

The minimum booking is 2 hours on every crew size, so the cheapest small move batches jobs into those 2 hours: the single item, the boxes and the bags in one run. Driver Help at the minimum is £140. A single heavy item on its own route is often better priced through our cheap single item removals page, and your quote will say which way round works out cheaper.

Yes: your own packing is the biggest single saving after crew size. If you want materials from us, the published extras are boxes £5 each, wrap £15 and tape £10 per roll. If the crew packs, it is charged at the same hourly crew rate, and the quote lists it as its own line.

We move your belongings to a storage unit rented in your own name, and collect them again when the new place is ready. We are a removals crew, not a storage operator: the unit contract is yours, and our part is the transport at the published hourly card, itemised in the written quote.

We are not a licensed waste carrier, so we cannot take items away for disposal. We move belongings to an address, to storage, or to a named charity that has agreed to take them. For disposal, the routes are your council bulky collection or a registered waste carrier you appoint: you can check a carrier on the Environment Agency register.

No deposit to book. Cancel or rearrange without charge up to 24 hours before your move; within 24 hours, a charge of up to 25% of the quoted price may apply. Quotes are valid for 7 days. Payment is taken at the time of service. Loading, unloading and carrying are included, as are dismantling and reassembly where booked in advance; packing is included only where booked and listed in your quote.

Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing.
