Weekend Removals in London

Saturday and Sunday moves, planned in the week before around your buildings, your lift slots and your Monday. The rate is the standard card with no weekend uplift, and the plan is settled before the weekend starts, because on the weekend there is nobody to settle it with.

A weekend move costs the same as a weekday move: Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85, 3 Men £100, with a 2-hour minimum, so it starts at £140 and there is no weekend uplift. We work Saturdays 08:00 to 18:00 and Sundays 09:00 to 16:00. No deposit, free cancellation up to 24 hours before, and the written quote confirms the crew and the total before the weekend begins.

WORKED TOTALS

What a Weekend Move Typically Costs

Real totals for the moves weekends actually hold, worked from the published card. Every one of these totals is the weekday total too, because the card does not change with the calendar.

Illustrations, worked from our published hourly card (Driver Help £70, 2 Men £85, 3 Men £100 per hour, 2-hour minimum), checked October 2026. Your written quote confirms the total for your job before you book. Included beside every price: loading, unloading and carrying at both ends, blankets and straps, dismantling and reassembly where booked, fuel and mileage within London, and placement in the right rooms. Add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs. The split-weekend row prices the transport only: the unit is rented by you, in your own name.

A Weekend Move Is Won or Lost in the Week Before

Moves land on weekends for good reasons: the working week is full, completions cluster on Fridays, tenancies end when they end, and Monday has to start in the new place. But the weekend itself is the worst time to solve problems. The building manager is not in, the borough office is closed, the lift company cannot be called, and the neighbour whose car blocks the loading bay is away until Sunday night.

So a weekend move is planned backwards, in the week before: the buildings asked, the lift booked, the suspension applied for while the borough is still counting working days, the packing finished or booked. What is left for Saturday is the move itself, which is the part we can control. This page owns that planning for the weekend as a whole.

The boundary inside the weekend: Sunday has its own constraints, a shorter day, buildings that permit or forbid Sunday moves, streets that rest, and our Sunday removals page covers those in full. If the weekend has stopped being a plan and become an emergency, our emergency removals page is the one to read. The card, the crew and the terms are the same on all three.

Weekend Moves We Run

Six situations cover most weekend moves in London. Each is quoted from your list, your buildings and your date.

The Working Week Is Full

The standard weekend move, any size

Nobody can take a weekday off, the children are at school, and the move has to happen when the household is actually there. Saturday takes the full day; the week is untouched.

Friday Completion, Weekend Move

Keys on Friday, settled by Monday

Completions cluster on Fridays because the banking week ends there, and the move lands on the weekend behind them: out on Saturday, in by Sunday, and Monday morning starts in the new place.

The Tenancy Ends on the Weekend

Check-out Saturday or Sunday

Tenancies end on the date they end, and a good share of them end on a Saturday or a Sunday. The property is emptied inside the check-out window and handed back clear, with the inspection untroubled by a half-moved flat.

The Building Says Weekends Only

Offices and blocks that ban weekday moves

Some buildings run the rule the other way: no moves while the offices above are working, so the move is permitted on Saturday or Sunday or not at all. The building’s slot becomes the plan’s fixed point.

The Office Moves Without Closing

Out Saturday, open Monday

A small office that cannot close for a day moves across the weekend: desks and files out on Saturday, placed and set up on Sunday, and the team walks into the new office on Monday morning.

The Split Weekend

Out Saturday, delivered Monday

The old tenancy ends Saturday and the new one starts Monday, with a night or two in between. Out on Saturday into a storage unit you rent, delivered when the new place opens. Two runs, each on the card.

Buildings Run the Weekend, Not Us

Four building facts decide most weekend moves in London. All four are settled in the week before, or they are not settled at all.

Some buildings ban weekend moves outright

Developments with concierges, porters and residential neighbours often forbid removals on Saturdays and Sundays, when the building is full and the staff are few. Others, typically office-led buildings, forbid weekday moves and allow only the weekend. Neither rule can be negotiated at the door: check the lease or ask management which days are permitted, and book the day they allow.

Goods lifts are booked through weekday offices

The lift your furniture needs is usually released by a management office that works Monday to Friday, and in some buildings the goods lift is only bookable on weekdays at all, which quietly rules out a self-planned Saturday move. Book the lift when the date is set, get the slot in writing, and send it to us: the whole weekend plan hangs off that slot.

Loading windows shrink at weekends

Loading bays are shared with every other household moving that day, and weekend days are the fullest. A bay booked for two hours is a hard edge to the plan, so the load is packed and sequenced to meet it. Where a development runs a one-move-at-a-time rule, the slot you are given is the slot there is.

Nobody is on site to fix a surprise

On a weekday, a missing fob, a locked service door or a lift fault has an owner somewhere in the building. On a Sunday it has a phone number that may not answer. The week-before plan therefore confirms keys, fobs, door codes and the concierge’s hours in writing, and names a person at each end who can open up.

Parking follows the same logic. A suspension or dispensation for a Saturday move is applied for in the week before, because boroughs count notice in working days (2 to 10, depending on the borough). Many controlled zones rest on Sundays and some on Saturdays, but by no means all: read the signs at both addresses, and if the street needs a suspension, it goes in with the week-before bookings.

What Is Included, and What Is Not

Included in every booking

  • The van: a Luton with a tail lift, sized to the job
  • Loading, unloading and carrying by the crew at every tier, including Driver Help
  • Furniture blankets and straps for everything on the van
  • Dismantling and reassembly where booked: beds, wardrobes and flat-pack
  • Fuel and mileage within London
  • Furniture placed in the right rooms at the destination, not left at the door
  • Planning around the buildings’ own weekend rules, lift slots and loading windows, settled in the week before
  • A written quote with the crew and the total confirmed before the weekend

Not included, stated plainly

  • A weekend uplift: there is none to include or exclude, the rate is the standard card on Saturday and Sunday alike
  • Parking suspensions or building fees charged by third parties: both are arranged and paid by you, in the week before
  • Working outside our published hours: Saturdays 08:00 to 18:00 and Sundays 09:00 to 16:00
  • Disposal of anything: we are a removals service, not a licensed waste carrier
  • The storage unit itself: belongings go to a unit you rent in your own name; we provide the transport, not the unit
  • Set-up of computers and networks on an office move: we place desks, chairs and kit to your plan; your IT support connects and tests

How a Weekend Move Works

Four steps, three of them in the week before the weekend itself.

01

Fix the date and the buildings

Send both postcodes, the date, and what each building says about weekend moves, lifts and loading. The buildings’ answers come first, because they can close a weekend that looked open.

02

Written quote, no deposit

The quote comes back in writing with the crew, the day plan and the total, on the standard card. It is valid for 7 days, booking takes no deposit, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.

03

The week before: bookings settled

Lift slots, loading bays and any parking suspension are arranged with the buildings and the borough during the week, while their offices are open. Packing is finished or booked in advance, not left to the morning.

04

The weekend run

The crew loads in destination order, places everything in the right rooms, and rebuilds what was booked. For a two-day plan, Saturday’s stage ends with the new place functional; Monday starts where it should.

Saturday or Sunday: Which Day Carries Your Move?

Saturday is the long day, 08:00 to 18:00, and the right day for a full house, a two-stage plan, or anything with stairs at both ends. It is also the day every other mover in London has chosen, so buildings, bays and our own diary are at their fullest, above all on the last Saturday of the month. Sunday is the short day, 09:00 to 16:00, quieter on the roads and in the buildings, right for studios, flats and the finishing stage of a two-day plan, and wrong for anything that needs room to overrun.

If both days are open to you, choose by the buildings, not by preference: the day the lifts are bookable and the moves are permitted is the day the move works. Our Sunday removals page walks through the Sunday constraints in detail, including Sunday parking and the shorter day planned backwards from Monday.

The same as a weekday move, on the published card: Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 per hour, 3 Men £100 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum on every booking, so a weekend move starts at £140. A Saturday one-bed flat is usually £255 with 2 Men over 3 hours; a Saturday two-bed house is usually £340 to £425 over 4 to 5 hours; a three-bed family house is usually £500 with 3 Men over 5 hours. Stairs add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs. No deposit, free cancellation up to 24 hours before, and the written quote confirms the total before you book.

No. Saturday and Sunday moves are charged on the same hourly card as any weekday, with no weekend rate and no out-of-hours premium inside our published hours: Saturdays 08:00 to 18:00, Sundays 09:00 to 16:00. The written quote states the crew, the expected time and the total, so the price you agree is the price of the card, whatever day of the week it is.

It depends on the buildings. Saturday is the longer day, 08:00 to 18:00, and the busier one: completions land on Friday, tenancies end, and month-end Saturdays are the fullest dates in the calendar. Sunday is shorter, 09:00 to 16:00, quieter on the roads, and the day some buildings insist on and others forbid. Our Sunday removals page covers the Sunday-only constraints in detail; this page covers planning the weekend as a whole.

Then the building’s rules set the plan, and they cannot be argued with on the day. Some developments forbid moves on Saturdays and Sundays entirely; others allow moves only at weekends, when the offices above are empty. Check your lease or ask building management which days are permitted before you book anything, and tell us what they say. If the weekend is closed to you, the honest alternatives are a Friday or Monday slot, or a staged plan with a storage run on an allowed day.

Often, yes, and the booking belongs to the week, not the weekend. Many buildings take lift and loading-bay bookings through an office that works Monday to Friday, and some buildings only release the goods lift on weekdays at all. Book the lift as soon as your date is set, and tell us the slot: the crew is planned around it, and a lift that was never booked cannot be conjured up on a Saturday morning.

Where a bay suspension or dispensation is needed, it has to be arranged with the borough in advance, and boroughs work in working days: notice periods run from 2 to 10 working days, so a weekend move is arranged during the week before. Many controlled parking zones do not operate on Sundays and some rest on Saturdays too, but others run seven days, so read the signs at both addresses rather than assuming the weekend is free, and tell us what you find.

Two to three weeks for an ordinary weekend, and longer for the last Saturday of the month, when tenancy ends and completions cluster. Weekend slots are the most requested of the week, and the buildings’ own slots, lifts and loading bays, fill alongside ours. Booking takes no deposit and the quote is valid for 7 days, so there is no cost to fixing the date early.

Yes, and it is one of the best uses of the weekend: out of the old office on Saturday, set up in the new one on Sunday, and the business opens on Monday in the new place. Desks, chairs and files first, screens and IT placed to the plan your IT support sets. Weekend office moves are quoted in writing like any other, on the same card for the crew time, with the building’s weekend rules checked before the date is fixed.

Yes. Larger homes and staged plans often load on Saturday and deliver or finish on Sunday, or empty one address across both days. Each day is worked inside its own hours, Saturday 08:00 to 18:00 and Sunday 09:00 to 16:00, and both days are set out in one written quote so the whole weekend has one plan and one total structure before it starts.

Then the weekend move splits honestly: out of the old address on Saturday, into a storage unit you rent in your own name, and delivered on Monday or whenever the new place opens. The transport runs are charged on the hourly card; the unit’s rent and terms are your contract with the operator. We do not hold belongings ourselves.

The same as every booking: no deposit to book, free cancellation up to 24 hours before the move, a charge of up to 25 percent of the quoted price only if you cancel inside that final 24 hours, quotes valid for 7 days, and payment at the time of service. Loading, unloading and carrying are included, and dismantling and reassembly are included where booked.
