You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
This page prices moving van hire for Totteridge N20 specifically: mixed-era stock, 14% privately rented and 3,519 households in total. Work starts at £38, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Barnet permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Roughly how many rooms or items, and whether there are stairs at either end. That is enough to recommend a van size and a realistic hour count.
Step 2
Van size, minimum hours and any second loader shown as separate lines, plus ULEZ, Congestion Charge or a permit where the postcode needs one.
Step 3
The driver loads and straps the van themselves; a second loader, if booked, works alongside them from the same start time.
Step 4
Furniture and boxes carried in at the new address in the same order they came out, so nothing sits blocking a hallway.
Step 5
Billing runs to the minute past the minimum booking, with no rounding up to a full extra hour for a few minutes over.
Why choose us
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — a median age of 44 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in N20, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in N20, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — the pattern behind 3,519 households inside the N20 neighbourhood.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover apply to every booking. Drivers are DBS-checked where a building requires it, and the vehicle's ULEZ and Congestion Charge compliance is confirmed before the job is booked.
One driver as standard on all three van sizes, with a second loader added by the hour where stairs, a lift booking or heavy furniture make a solo load impractical. Long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances.
Same-day and next-day slots are common outside weekend peaks; weekend bookings are best made two to three days ahead in the busier boroughs. Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern) is the nearest station, so a N20 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small van and driver, per hour | £38 | Min. 2 hrs | A short wheelbase van fits a handful of boxes and small furniture — the lowest hourly rate because one driver loads alone. |
| LWB Transit-class van and driver, per hour | £48 | Min. 2 hrs | A long-wheelbase van takes a one-bed flat's furniture in a single trip, which is why it is the rate most bookings land on. |
| Luton with tail-lift and driver, per hour | £58 | Min. 2 hrs | The tail-lift removes the need to carry a washing machine or wardrobe down steps by hand, and the box body takes a two-bed load without a second run. |
| Second loader, per hour | £22 | Per hour worked | Optional labour on top of any van size — the driver alone can load light items, but wardrobes, sofas and stairs need a second pair of hands. |
| Each additional hour, any van | Same as base rate | 60 min | No new call-out charge for running over — the clock simply continues at the booked hourly rate. |
| Return trip to a second address same day | £25 | Per trip | Covers the extra mileage and time where a job needs a tip run, a storage drop or a second collection address. |

Domestic prices are the total you pay; landlord, business and letting-agent invoices are plus VAT at 20%. The driver loading their own van is included in the hourly rate; a second loader is booked separately where the job needs stairs or heavy furniture carried. Where a bay suspension, permit, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote before the van is booked, never added afterwards.
Scope
My daughter and her friend employed hello services to move the contents of their flat in Stevenage to their new flat in London. They arrived a little early to ensure they were ready to start at 9am The flat was at the top of the three story block of flats and the three of them… Read in full →
Booked them for one Bed Flat move from Hammersmith to Epsom. They packed all my stuff and loaded in less than 2 hours. I was also able to travel in the van to the destination. Thanks to Alan and his colleague. Forgot his name.
I hired hello service for my move from London to Leicester. I recommend them as best as movers compare to other companies, so I won't be worry for my next move as thinking the difficulty of house removals. I appreciate for their hard working, friendship and taking care all my belonging.

Working in Totteridge
The N20 stock around Totteridge Green and the village pond is mixed-era. ONS records 12% flats, 85% houses and 3,519 households in Totteridge.
14% of households rent privately and 75% own, which is why moving van hire demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — a median age of 44 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Totteridge is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in N20, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — the pattern behind 3,519 households inside the N20 neighbourhood.
Two streets can behave very differently in Totteridge: green-belt lane of large houses, paddocks and a village pond. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Totteridge is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances. Nearest station is Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern), and one driver as standard on all three van sizes, with a second loader added by the hour where stairs, a lift booking or heavy furniture make a solo load impractical.

Small van and driver, per hour starts at £38 in Totteridge, with 75% owner-occupation locally — and 22% one-person households here, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Van size first, then whether a second loader is needed on Barnet bookings. A short wheelbase van suits a few items; a Luton with tail-lift is the rate most two-bed moves land on once the tail-lift's time saving on stairs is weighed against its higher hourly cost in this 12% flats neighbourhood — and 85% of Totteridge homes being houses, with this being London Borough of Barnet territory.
Most one-bed moves around Totteridge Green and the village pond fit a long-wheelbase van at £48 an hour; a two-bed with a washing machine or a wardrobe usually goes better in a Luton with tail-lift at £58 an hour, since the lift saves carrying heavy items down steps by hand across N20 — and 11% social-rented stock nearby, with Totteridge Green and the village pond a few streets away.
London Borough of Barnet runs controlled parking across much of Totteridge on the streets near Totteridge Green and the village pond — and 75% owner-occupation locally, with 3,519 households on this patch, and loading a van from an unpermitted bay is exactly the situation a suspension is for. We check the street before booking and itemise a suspension only where it is genuinely needed on N20 jobs, with 75% owner-occupation locally.
Yes, a driver alone can manage boxes and light furniture on this side of Barnet, with a median age of 44 in this neighbourhood — and 14% of N20 homes being privately rented, but with 12% of homes here being flats, most bookings from an upper floor add a second loader at £22 an hour so a sofa or wardrobe on stairs does not slow the van down to a single item at a time.
For a small load, yes — you pay for driver and van time rather than a fixed whole-property quote on this side of Barnet, with 85% of Totteridge homes being houses. With 14% of Totteridge homes privately rented, a short-notice room or studio move is the typical booking that suits the hourly rate better than a full removal in Totteridge — and this being a short walk from Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern), with 11% social-rented stock nearby.
All three. With 14% of Totteridge privately rented and 75% owner-occupied, roughly half the N20 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Barnet — and this being a short walk from Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern), with Totteridge Green and the village pond a few streets away.
Totteridge Green and the village pond is the marker we route to on the streets near Totteridge Green and the village pond, with 75% owner-occupation locally, and long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances. A N20 slot added to an existing Barnet round usually lands the same week rather than the next for Totteridge (N20) addresses, with this being a short walk from Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern).
