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 Burnt Oak job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Harrow 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 Burnt 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 Burnt 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.
Kerbside loading on Burnt Oak's terraced streets
Most Burnt Oak 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 HA8 door is checked against London Borough of Harrow bay hours before the slot — a legal space is a shorter carry and a shorter bill.
- ULEZ is quoted with the hourly rate and never appears as an extra at the end.
- Access here: Wide estate roads with parking; the A5 shopping stretch has short loading windows.

Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your HA8 collection address on this side of Harrow.

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 Burnt Oak, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop on HA8 jobs — and 4,210 households on this patch, with 31% of HA8 homes being privately rented.
Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Harrow and can usually get a van to Burnt Oak within a few hours for a single item or a small load in this 42% flats neighbourhood — and 37% owner-occupation locally, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed on HA8 jobs.

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 this side of Harrow — and Watling Park a few streets away, with 31% social-rented stock nearby. For a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs in Burnt Oak.
We check London Borough of Harrow restriction hours and bay types for both addresses before your slot and tell you if a suspension is worth the fee around Burnt Oak (Northern) — and 37% owner-occupation locally, with Harrow parking rules in play. Where nothing legal is close, we agree the carry distance with you in advance so the hourly estimate is honest across HA8, with 42% of homes here being flats.
Yes — every street in HA8 and the rest of Harrow across HA8. 2% flats and access here means kerbside loading in a permit bay, short carry to the van, both of which we plan around before quoting an hourly job around Burnt Oak (Northern), with Watling Park a few streets away.
