The service, locally
Long distance moves from Swiss Cottage NW3
Long distance removals from Swiss Cottage start where every honest quote starts — how long the load takes in NW3, and how many road miles sit between here and the new address. 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. Stairs are the single biggest driver of crew hours on a long-distance job — a third-floor walk-up can add two billed hours before a wheel turns. It is the same formula in Camden 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 Swiss Cottage home size
Where you are leaving in Swiss Cottage, 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 M1, M4 and the M25, 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
Communal stairs carried by hand before the lorry leaves London. The same team that empties your Swiss Cottage home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Swiss Cottage 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 Swiss Cottage 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. Swiss Cottage 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.
Stairs and conversions in Swiss Cottage
Half-landings and 1890s doorways decide the load hours long before the motorway does. We ask for the floor and the stair type at survey, then price the hours honestly rather than discovering them on the day.

About the area
Moving out of Swiss Cottage NW3
Finchley Road's shops and library beside 1930s flats and post-war blocks. Swiss Cottage Library by Basil Spence anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Swiss Cottage (Jubilee). Housing here is purpose-built mansion flats, post-war blocks with lifts and victorian villas on the side streets. — 88.6% of homes in Swiss Cottage are flats and 45.9% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Swiss Cottage are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Finchley Road is a red route; loading is from side streets with permits and lift booking in the blocks. Central London loads pay their motorway toll in minutes rather than miles: getting out of the zone is the slow part, and we plan the departure slot around it.

Very good experience. House was filthy after lots of building works and previous owners not really looking after it (the bathroom was disgusting). After 4 hours of cleaning my house looks like a brand new home and smells clean again, no more dust/rubble and the bathroom looks so clean I could eat off the floor… Read in full →
