Crew, lorry, packing, London Borough of Islington permits and ULEZ all inside one figure, back the same working day. No doorstep re-quote.

Why us
Why Old Street 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 Old Street 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.
Porter and lift coordination for Old Street apartment moves
Whole-flat and lateral-apartment moves live or die on the booked slot. The goods lift and loading bay are reserved with the building manager in writing, and floor and lift protection comes with the crew.

About the place
Moving house in Old Street what it actually involves
Old Street is the roundabout, tech offices and warehouse conversions on the city fringe. Housing here runs to warehouse and office conversions, new towers with concierge, and peabody-era estate blocks. which is why a full house move in EC1V is measured by hallway width and stair turns rather than mileage. Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards. Landmark to aim the lorry at: Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground.

Questions
House removals in Old Street answered
5-tonne lorry for six to nine hours. Volume, packing and access move the figure, with Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground a few streets away, 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 this side of Islington. We hold a Old Street date on a provisional booking without charge across EC1V, with Islington parking rules in play — and a median age of 32 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 around Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) — and 39% one-person households here, with 98% of homes here being flats. Delay terms are written down before you book, not improvised in EC1V in Old Street.
Yes. A full packing service covers every room the day before for Old Street (EC1V) addresses, with this being a short walk from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern), or choose fragile-only packing for kitchens, glass and artwork. Wardrobe boxes, export wrap and materials are delivered to your Old Street address in advance either way in Old Street, with this being London Borough of Islington territory.
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 this side of Islington — and Islington parking rules in play, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood. On Old Street jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
Every Old Street move carries goods-in-transit and public liability insurance on the Old Street rounds, 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 Islington bookings, with this being a short walk from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern).
We do. London Borough of Islington suspensions and dispensations are applied for by us with the council fee shown in your quote for Old Street (EC1V) addresses, with Islington parking rules in play — and 52% social-rented stock nearby, so the lorry stands legally outside the door instead of adding a long carry to your bill.
Yes — every street in EC1V, EC1 and the rest of Islington in this 98% flats neighbourhood. 6% houses and access means booked goods lift, loading bay and porter coordination, both of which we plan for before quoting on this side of Islington, with this being London Borough of Islington territory.

Really pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw!
