How it works

Three steps and a rate that holds

  1. Send the load and both postcodes

    A photo, a list or a marketplace link is enough. We size the van and decide whether your Gospel Oak job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.

  2. Get the hourly rate in writing

    Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Camden bay reality and any charges confirmed by message. No deposit, no doorstep re-quote.

  3. We load, drive and carry it in

    Booked goods lift and loading bay, trolley all the way in. Blankets, straps and a trolley come as standard, and the clock stops when the last item is inside.

Why us

Why Gospel Oak books our vans and books them again

The hourly rate is the whole rate

£45 for one mover, £65 for two, VAT and fuel inside it. Nothing is added for blankets, straps, the trolley or the drive between your two Gospel Oak addresses.

Billed in half hours, not rounded up

After the two-hour minimum we charge in 30-minute blocks. A job that runs fifteen minutes over costs fifteen minutes, not a whole extra hour.

Drivers who lift, insured and DBS-checked

Every van carries goods-in-transit and public liability cover, and the driver is part of the crew rather than someone who watches you carry a sofa.

Lift and loading-bay slots in Gospel Oak blocks

Managed blocks want the goods lift booked and the bay reserved. Tell us the building at quote stage and we work to the slot, with floor protection and a trolley, so nothing is carried past a concierge who was not expecting us.

Two-hour minimum.

  • Parking outside your NW5 door is checked against London Borough of Camden bay hours before the slot — a legal space is a shorter carry and a shorter bill.
  • The Congestion Charge and ULEZ are quoted with the hourly rate and never appear as an extra at the end.
  • Access here: Tower blocks with one working lift, steep approach roads and permit bays.
