How it works
Three steps and a price that holds
Free video survey
Walk us round your Islington home on your phone — every room, the loft, the garage and the shed counted, not estimated.
Fixed written quote
Crew, lorry, packing, London Borough of Islington permits and ULEZ all inside one figure, back the same working day. No doorstep re-quote.
Moving day, handled
On-street lorry loading with a suspended bay. Floors and doorframes protected, furniture dismantled and rebuilt, keys-to-keys around your completion time.
Why us
Why Islington families book us and recommend us
The video-survey price is the price
Your quote is built from what we saw on the survey, in writing. It does not change when the crew sees the stairs on the morning of your Islington move.
Crews trained for full-house volumes
Lofts, garages, sheds, garden furniture, pianos and the awkward wardrobe on the top landing are in the plan and in the price, not discovered at 4pm.
Insured, DBS-checked, completion-aware
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover on every move, crews vetted, and written delay terms for the day the chain runs late.
Bay-window and winder-stair experience in Islington's terraces
Victorian and Edwardian halls turn twice before the first landing, so the awkward pieces are measured at the video survey, dismantled where they must be, and a bay is suspended outside the door rather than a sofa carried sixty metres.

About the place
Moving house in Islington what it actually involves
Islington, N1: barnsbury and canonbury squares, antique shops and the almeida. Expect georgian and early victorian terraces, most split into two or three flats. Narrow squares with resident bays, listed frontages and basement flats down external steps. A removals firm that has worked Islington Green and the Almeida Theatre and the streets behind it knows where the lorry can legally stand.

Questions
House removals in Islington answered
5-tonne lorry for six to nine hours. Volume, packing and access move the figure, with 81% of homes here being flats, which is why we quote after a free video survey rather than guessing on this side of Islington.
Book provisionally four to six weeks out and confirm the moment contracts exchange on N1 jobs. We hold a Islington date on a provisional booking without charge on this side of Islington — and 36% one-person households here, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, then lock crew and lorry to your completion day as soon as your solicitor confirms.
We wait. If keys are late the crew stays loaded and charges waiting time at the rate stated in your quote; if release slips to the next day the lorry is secured overnight for an agreed fee on the streets near Islington Green and the Almeida Theatre — and a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, with 36% one-person households here. Delay terms are written down before you book, not improvised in N1 on Islington bookings.
Yes. A full packing service covers every room the day before in Islington, with Islington Green and the Almeida Theatre a few streets away, or choose fragile-only packing for kitchens, glass and artwork. Wardrobe boxes, export wrap and materials are delivered to your Islington address in advance either way on Islington bookings, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
Dismantle and reassemble is standard on a full house move — beds, wardrobes, tables, cots and flat-pack units come apart, travel protected and go back together in the right rooms at the new address before the crew leaves on N1 jobs — and 19% of Islington homes being houses, with 81% of homes here being flats.
Every Islington move carries goods-in-transit and public liability insurance in this 81% flats neighbourhood, and the crews are DBS-checked. Higher-value items — pianos, art, antiques — are declared at the video survey so cover is confirmed in writing before moving day on this side of Islington, with 27% owner-occupation locally.
We do. London Borough of Islington suspensions and dispensations are applied for by us with the council fee shown in your quote in this 81% flats neighbourhood — and Islington Green and the Almeida Theatre a few streets away, with 36% one-person households here, so the lorry stands legally outside the door instead of adding a long carry to your bill.
Yes — every street in N1 and the rest of Islington on N1 jobs. 8% houses and access means on-street lorry loading with a suspended bay, both of which we plan for before quoting on the Islington rounds, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.

Really pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw! Nothing got broken and even though they were working on an hourly rate they were really efficient, not to waste any time.
