Apartment Removals FAQ
Everything you need to know about moving your flat in London.
Yes, in most London boroughs (Westminster, Camden, Islington, etc.), you must apply for a parking bay suspension. We recommend applying at least 14 days in advance. We provide our vehicle registration numbers to assist with your application. Some boroughs offer free or discounted permits for removal vehicles.
Our team is specially trained in "stair-carry" techniques. We use specialised straps and deploy a larger crew for no-lift apartment removals to ensure safety and speed without damaging your property or the building. Our movers are experienced with London's Victorian conversions and period buildings.
If items are too large for stairs, we offer furniture dismantling and reassembly services. Our movers carry full toolkits to safely disassemble wardrobes, sofas, and large pieces, reassembling them perfectly in your new flat. We also offer furniture hoists for external access.
We provide Public Liability Insurance Certificates (£5 million coverage) and comprehensive Risk Assessments as required by most London property managers. These are essential for move-in/move-out approval and can be submitted to your building management in advance of your moving date.
Studio flats typically take 2–3 hours, 1-bedroom apartments take 3–4 hours, and 2-bedroom flats take 4–6 hours. Times vary based on floor level, lift access, parking distance, and packing requirements. We provide realistic, transparent timelines during your free quote.
Yes, all our vehicles are fully ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) compliant. You won't face any additional charges for moving within or through the ULEZ zone, including Central London, Canary Wharf, and all areas within the North and South Circular roads.
Yes, we handle service lift coordination regularly. We arrange bookings, coordinate timing with building management, and ensure efficient lift access to minimise delays. Service lift scheduling is arranged as part of your moving service at no extra cost.
