How it works
Three steps and a price that holds
Free video survey
Walk us round your St John's Wood home on your phone — every room, the loft, the garage and the shed counted, not estimated.
Fixed written quote
Crew, lorry, packing, Westminster City Council permits and ULEZ all inside one figure, back the same working day. No doorstep re-quote.
Moving day, handled
Driveway loading with loft and garage in the plan. Floors and doorframes protected, furniture dismantled and rebuilt, keys-to-keys around your completion time.
Why us
Why St John's Wood 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 St John's Wood 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.
Driveway-and-loft loading in St John's Wood's semis
Off-street loading is the fastest full house move in London. The lorry reverses to the door, the tail lift runs straight to the hallway, and the loft, garage, shed and garden furniture are cleared in the same run instead of a second trip.

About the place
Moving house in St John's Wood what it actually involves
Around Lord's Cricket Ground and Abbey Road studios, St John's Wood is detached villas, embassies and cricket — the quietest of the central postcodes. The stock — detached and semi-detached villas, purpose-built 1930s flats and gated modern blocks. — means lofts, garages and garden contents add real volume to a house removal here, so they are counted at the survey. Driveways in the villa streets; gated developments need advance access codes and lift booking.

Questions
House removals in St John's Wood answered
A 3 bed house removal in St John's Wood, NW8, starts at £690 including VAT — a three-man crew and a 7.5-tonne lorry for six to nine hours. Volume, packing and access move the figure, which is why we quote after a free video survey rather than guessing.
Book provisionally four to six weeks out and confirm the moment contracts exchange. We hold a St John's Wood date on a provisional booking without charge, 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. Delay terms are written down before you book, not improvised in NW8.
Yes. A full packing service covers every room the day before, or choose fragile-only packing for kitchens, glass and artwork. Wardrobe boxes, export wrap and materials are delivered to your St John's Wood address in advance either way.
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.
Every St John's Wood move carries goods-in-transit and public liability insurance, 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.
We do. Westminster City Council suspensions and dispensations are applied for by us with the council fee shown in your quote, so the lorry stands legally outside the door instead of adding a long carry to your bill.
Yes — every street in NW8 and the rest of Westminster. Local homes are 10.4% houses and access means driveway loading with loft and garage in the plan, both of which we plan for before quoting.
