Get in touch by phone or through our form. We assess the job to determine the right service, then estimate the time and provide a quotation. Once you accept the terms, a deposit secures your booking. Final payment is due after the move is complete.
Parking restrictions apply on almost every residential street in the City of Westminster. You will need to book a suspension with the local authority so your move goes smoothly. Without it, your removal may take longer than expected and be hard to finish on time. Reserve a nearby parking bay suspension for loading day, and at your new address for unloading.
Read our moving house checklist to prepare thoroughly for your Westminster move. It covers everything to do in the weeks beforehand, plus the essential tasks to remember on moving day. Our experienced operatives can also answer any general questions you have.

Every removals service should include packing materials so your belongings are properly protected, whatever the weather. Even on a fine day, poor packing can lead to loss or damage if a crate is dropped. We can supply:
When moving in Westminster, storage can be a challenge, especially with large items that will not fit easily into your new home. A temporary storage solution is often the answer. Our service can include:
No hidden fees, a simple hourly rate based on the crew you need. Weekends are charged at +10%.
Westminster
Westminster is mostly flats, which makes a man and van service ideal. It fits student moves and one- and two-bedroom apartment removals. Larger properties are still covered, with bigger vehicles and additional staff. The service suits those with fewer possessions, shared-flat relocations, and specialist items that need careful handling.
Our flat and house clearances in Westminster are handled with compassion and professionalism. We help in a range of situations, including family bereavements and landlords preparing a property for sale or new tenants.
Most students have only a modest amount to move. That is why our Westminster man and van service is so useful for them.
We have extensive experience moving valuable artwork. We have even been asked to move an original Damien Hurst, so there is little we cannot handle.
During our many flat and house removals in Westminster, we regularly take flat pack furniture apart and reassemble it once it reaches the new address. We also offer cost-effective assembly for furniture bought online.

We charge a simple hourly rate rather than a fixed day rate, so you only pay for the time your move actually takes. One man and a van is £55 + VAT per hour, two men and a van £75 + VAT per hour, and three men and a van £95 + VAT per hour. As a guide, a typical two-bedroom move in Westminster takes around five to six hours including travel. For an accurate figure, ask us for a free no-obligation quote or a video assessment of your property.
Most two-bedroom properties take two to three hours to load and one to two hours to unload, plus the driving time between the two addresses. Access makes a real difference: stairs, lifts and how far the van has to park from your door all add time. Tell us about both properties when you book and we will give you a realistic estimate rather than an optimistic one.
As much as you can give us, booking as soon as your date is confirmed is the surest way to get the slot you want. That said, we keep our schedule as flexible as we can and we regularly take on moves at a few days' notice, so it is always worth asking even if your date is close.
If you have a driveway or off-street parking at both addresses, no. Otherwise we strongly recommend one: the closer the van can park, the faster the job goes and the less it costs you. Suspensions are arranged through the local council for Westminster and usually need several working days' notice, so apply as soon as your date is fixed, and remember to arrange one at the address you are moving to as well.
Yes. We carry £30,000 of goods-in-transit cover and £1m of public liability insurance as standard. If you are moving something worth more than the standard cover, tell us in advance and we will extend it for your job. Most household contents policies exclude damage in transit, which is exactly the gap this cover fills.
No. Most customers prefer to be there, but we can carry out the whole move in your absence as long as we have access to both properties, keys, entry codes and alarm details arranged in advance. Tell us where things should go and we will unload into the right rooms.
Yes. Packing is a standard service charged at the same hourly rate, and we can supply boxes, tape and protective materials ahead of the day. We can pack a whole property or just the awkward parts, kitchens, glassware and artwork are the usual candidates.
We dismantle and reassemble beds and flat-pack furniture as a matter of course, and we can build items for your new home too. Please disconnect washing machines and dishwashers, and defrost the fridge and freezer, the day before if you can. If you would rather not, ask us and a member of the team will do it on the day.
Yes. We run 3.5t Luton box vans rather than small transit vans, and the service scales, for a larger property we simply put more crew and more vehicles on the job. Three- and four-bedroom houses are routine work for us.
Yes. Storage is useful when your dates do not line up, when you are downsizing, or when you would rather move in stages. We can store what you do not need immediately and deliver it on to your new address when you are ready for it.
We take a 25% deposit for domestic moves and 50% for business moves to secure your date. The balance is due on completion, once everything has been unloaded at your new address. We accept credit and debit cards.
Yes. Weekend availability is more limited and is charged at a 10% surcharge, so a midweek move is usually better value, but if Saturday or Sunday is the only date that works, book early and we will do our best to fit you in.
Moving dates slip; we understand that. Change or cancel with 11 or more days' notice and there is no charge, if you cancel outright, your deposit is returned within 10 working days. With 10 days' notice or fewer, the deposit covers the booking we have held for you.
