How it works
Three steps and a rate that holds
Send the load and both postcodes
A photo, a list or a marketplace link is enough. We size the van and decide whether your Primrose Hill job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
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.
We load, drive and carry it in
Kerbside loading in a permit bay, short carry to the van. Blankets, straps and a trolley come as standard, and the clock stops when the last item is inside.
Why us
Why Primrose Hill 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 Primrose Hill 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.
Kerbside loading on Primrose Hill's terraced streets
Most Primrose Hill jobs are decided by where the van can legally stand. We check the bay and the restriction hours before your slot, park as close as the signs allow, and keep the carry short so the clock is spent lifting rather than walking.

Hourly rates include VAT, fuel, blankets, straps, a trolley and the driver's lifting help. Charging starts when the crew arrives at your collection address and stops when the last item is inside — travel between the two addresses is inside the hourly rate, and Congestion Charge and ULEZ are quoted up front, never added afterwards. Two-hour minimum.
- Parking outside your NW1 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: Very narrow streets, resident bays all week and steep basement stairs on nearly every terrace.

Man with a van in Primrose Hill answered
A man with a van in Primrose Hill, NW1, is £45 an hour including VAT with a two-hour minimum in this 80% flats neighbourhood — and 33% social-rented stock nearby, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, or £65 an hour for two movers. A single item collection and delivery is £69 and a studio or 1-bed flat move starts at £220 on this side of Camden, with this being London Borough of Camden territory. The rate is confirmed in writing before the van sets off in Primrose Hill.
Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your NW1 collection address across NW1. If the job takes two hours and ten minutes you pay for two and a half — we bill in 30-minute blocks after the minimum rather than rounding a whole hour on the Primrose Hill rounds — and 35% owner-occupation locally, with Camden parking rules in play.
Yes. Lifting is the job, not an extra. One mover handles boxes, mattresses, flat-pack and most single items with a trolley; for a wardrobe, a sofa bed or anything going above the first floor in Primrose Hill, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop for Primrose Hill (NW1) addresses — and 3,616 households on this patch, with this being London Borough of Camden territory.
Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Camden and can usually get a van to Primrose Hill within a few hours for a single item or a small load on the Primrose Hill rounds — and this being a short walk from Chalk Farm (Northern), five minutes down Regent's Park Road, with Camden parking rules in play. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed for Primrose Hill (NW1) addresses.

A Luton with a tail lift is standard: roughly the contents of a studio or a comfortable 1-bed — a double bed, a three-seater sofa, a fridge freezer, a washing machine, a wardrobe and around twenty boxes on Camden bookings — and 20% of Primrose Hill homes being houses, with 32% of NW1 homes being privately rented. For a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs on the Primrose Hill rounds.
We check London Borough of Camden restriction hours and bay types for both addresses before your slot and tell you if a suspension is worth the fee on the streets near Primrose Hill summit — and 33% social-rented stock nearby, with 20% of Primrose Hill homes being houses.
