How far in advance should I book removals in Cricklewood?

Two to three weeks is comfortable, and month-end Fridays in Brent go first. We also hold short-notice slots, so a same-week or next-day move in NW2 is often possible — call and we will tell you honestly.

Do you handle parking permits and suspensions in Brent?

Yes. We apply to London Borough of Brent for a bay suspension or dispensation where the street needs one, quote the fee up front and include it in your fixed price. You do not deal with the council at all.

Can you move me from a walk-up flat in Cricklewood?

Yes, and we say so honestly before you book. We measure the awkward pieces, dismantle what will not turn on the landing, protect the communal stairs and, where it is the only safe route, plan a window hoist in advance.

Do you dismantle and reassemble furniture?

Yes — beds, wardrobes, flat-pack units and table legs, from £40 an item or inside the crew's time on a full move. Tell us in the quote form and we bring the right tools rather than improvising on the day.

Are my things insured in transit?

Every Cricklewood, NW2 job carries goods-in-transit cover and public liability insurance as standard, with certificates available before the move. Blankets, straps, trolleys and floor runners come with the crew, not as an extra.

Do you supply boxes and packing?

Yes. A starter pack of 15 boxes with tape and paper is £35 delivered, and a full packing service starts at £180 for a half day. Fragile packing for glass, art and china is quoted per room.

Do you cover all of NW2?

We cover every street in NW2 and the neighbouring Brent areas, including Cricklewood Broadway and the roads around Cricklewood. Moves out of London and into Europe are quoted from the same team.

Four weeks before — book and confirm

Confirm the move date, arrival window and both addresses in writing for your Cricklewood NW2 move.
Match the van size to the property type — Edwardian terraces in flats, 1930s semis and new-build near the station.
Ask London Borough of Brent whether your street needs a parking dispensation or a suspended bay, and what notice it wants.
ULEZ applies across all London boroughs — check the van is compliant and the charge is inside your quote.
Tell your landlord or agent the exact handover date and key-return time.
Book the end-of-tenancy or pre-move-in clean for the day either side of the move.
Start running down freezer food, cleaning products and anything that cannot legally travel in the van.

Two weeks before — permits, lifts and paperwork

Apply for the London Borough of Brent bay suspension or dispensation — most London councils want 5–10 working days.
Book the lift, loading bay or service entrance with the building manager if your block has one.
Access reality to plan around: A5 red route, permit bays and terraced streets with tight parking.
Redirect post and update the NW2 address on the electoral roll, bank, insurance and driving licence.
Give energy, water, broadband and council tax the closing and opening dates for both properties.
Register with a new GP, dentist and vet if you are leaving the area; arrange school or nursery transfers.

One week before — pack room by room

Label every box with the destination room, not the room it came from.
Pack a first-night box: kettle, mugs, chargers, bedding, toilet roll, medication, tools.
Photograph the back of the TV and any flat-pack before you dismantle it.
Drain the washing machine and fit its transit bolts.
Take paint, oils, batteries and garden waste to a London Borough of Brent reuse and recycling centre — the crew cannot legally load them.

The day before — final prep

Charge phones and keep a paper copy of the crew's number and the new address.
Defrost the fridge-freezer and towel it dry.
Take meter readings at the old property and photograph them.
Hold the loading space with cones or bins if kerb space near Cricklewood Broadway is tight on the day.
Strip the beds you are taking and bag bedding and clothes.
Reconfirm the arrival window with the crew and the key-collection time with the agent.

Moving day — loading

Walk the crew through the property first and flag fragile and do-not-load items.
Protect carpets, stair noses, communal halls and door frames before the first box moves.
Load heavy furniture first, boxes second, soft furnishings last.
Keep the first-night box, paperwork and keys with you rather than in the van.
Check lofts, sheds, gardens, balconies and every cupboard before the van pulls away.
Final meter readings, lock up, hand back keys and get the handover confirmed in writing.

Moving day — unloading and sign-off

Direct each box to its labelled room as it comes off the van.
Build the beds first so the day can end even if boxes are still packed.
Test the boiler, hot water, smoke alarms and the consumer unit.
Take arrival meter readings and photograph them.
Check items against your inventory and report any damage before the crew leaves.
