Long distance moves from Colindale NW9
Leaving Colindale for another part of the country is a long distance move, and it should be priced like one: a published sum rather than a phone call and a hunch. The sum is £65 per hour of crew time plus £1.50 per road mile, with an hour loading and an hour unloading included as the baseline. A booked goods lift keeps the hours predictable, provided the slot is confirmed — an unbooked lift is how a two-hour load becomes four. It is the same formula in Barnet as it is everywhere else we work — the only thing that changes is your address and your mileage.

How it works
Three steps and a price that holds
Send both postcodes and the Colindale home size
Where you are leaving in Colindale, where you are going, how many bedrooms and the floor you are on. That is the whole input — the formula does the rest.
See the sum, not just a total
We send the crew hours, the real road miles via A1(M) and M1, and the two multiplications that produce your fixed price. If you disagree with an input, we change the input, not the price.
One crew loads, drives and unloads
Booked goods lift and loading bay, trolleyed to the tail lift. The same team that empties your Colindale home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Colindale moves with us over the long haul
The formula is published, not negotiated
£65 an hour of crew time plus £1.50 a road mile, printed on the page before you speak to anyone. Two people moving the same load out of Colindale on the same day pay the same price.
Mileage is measured, not estimated
We price the road distance the lorry actually drives, not a straight line on a map. Colindale to Manchester is 200 road miles and is charged as 200 — a 2-bed at £560, fixed.
One crew, one vehicle, door to door
Your load is never consolidated with another household's or dropped at a depot overnight. That is why our long-distance dates hold and our damage rate stays where it is.
Goods lift and bay slots in Colindale blocks
Managed blocks want the lift booked and the bay reserved, usually with 48 hours' notice. Tell us the building at quote stage and we work to the slot, so the crew hours you are charged are the hours you were quoted.

About the area
Moving out of Colindale NW9
The fastest-growing new-build district in north London, around the old aerodrome. The former Hendon Aerodrome and Colindale Gardens anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Colindale (Northern). Housing here is new apartment blocks with concierge and service lifts, plus 1930s semis behind. — 79.6% of homes in Colindale are flats and 35.3% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Colindale are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Every new block requires booked goods lifts and loading bays; estate roads are gated. Northbound loads from north London join the M1 at Brent Cross or the A1(M) past Barnet, which is why a Leeds or Newcastle run leaves cleanly before the morning peak.
