Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your N1 collection address around Angel (Northern), with Highbury & Islington to the north. 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 in this 81% flats neighbourhood — and 27% owner-occupation locally, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.

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 Islington, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop across N1 — and 8,725 households on this patch, with 27% of N1 homes being privately rented.

Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Islington and can usually get a van to Islington within a few hours for a single item or a small load for Islington (N1) addresses — and 27% owner-occupation locally, with Islington Green and the Almeida Theatre a few streets away. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed on the Islington rounds.

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 around Angel (Northern) — and 27% of N1 homes being privately rented, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, with Highbury & Islington to the north.
