Building Management Coordination
We contact your building management before moving day to book lifts, confirm loading bay access, and understand any restrictions. Many buildings require insurance certificates and specific time slots. We handle all of this.
Parking Permits & Loading Bays
Most London flats have parking restrictions. We arrange suspension permits or book loading bays at both your current and new addresses. Included in your quote, not charged as an extra.
Furniture Protection & Dismantling
Sofas, beds, and wardrobes wrapped in blankets. Items that won't navigate tight corners get dismantled. We protect walls, door frames, and communal areas during the move.
Pre-Move Access Assessment
We check stairwell widths, lift dimensions, corridor turns, and door sizes. If your sofa won't fit in the lift, we know before moving day and plan accordingly.
Professional Packing Available
Full packing service, fragile-items-only, or supply materials for self-packing. Flats often have less storage space, meaning items stacked high. We pack to prevent damage during transport.
Placement Service
Furniture placed in correct rooms. Beds reassembled. Boxes stacked neatly where you specify. We remove packing materials and leave your new home ready to settle into.

We Understand London Buildings
Mansion blocks with service lifts that only operate certain hours. New-builds with goods lifts that need booking weeks ahead. Victorian conversions with staircases that barely fit a double bed. Listed buildings where you can't attach anything to walls.
We've moved flats in every type of London building. We know that Barbican lifts are small. We know Dolphin Square has strict moving protocols. We know mansion blocks in Maida Vale require three weeks' notice for lift bookings.
This experience means we prepare properly and don't waste your time.
Building Management Liaison
Most flat moves fail at the admin stage; missing insurance certificates, double-booked lifts, parking bays not reserved. We handle this completely.
We know what documentation buildings need, what notice periods apply, and which buildings are strict about time slots. We've worked with most major London property management companies and understand their processes.
Stairs, Lifts, and Tight Spaces
Flats have access challenges houses don't. We assess stairwell widths, lift capacities, and turning circles before moving day.
For high-floor walk-ups, we adjust crew size and allow realistic time.
Starting from £340 + VAT
Flat removal costs depend on floor level, lift availability, furniture volume, distance, and access difficulties. London flats vary hugely, a ground-floor purpose-built flat moves differently to a fourth-floor walk-up conversion.
Pricing factors:
Floor level and whether there's a functioning lift
Stairwell width and landing turns
Building access restrictions and time windows
Parking situation at both addresses
Furniture volume and any bulky items
Packing requirements
Distance travelled
What you'll get in your quote

Fourth-Floor Mansion Block in Kensington
THE CHALLENGE
A client needed to move from a 2-bedroom fourth-floor flat in a strict Kensington mansion block. The building required three weeks' notice for lift booking, insurance certificates, and only allowed moves Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm. Access was via a small service lift and the main staircase had tight turns.
OUR SOLUTION
We contacted building management immediately upon booking, provided all required documentation, and reserved the service lift. During the pre-move survey, we identified that the client's corner sofa wouldn't fit in the lift or navigate the staircase turns, so we arranged to have it professionally dismantled.
THE RESULT
Move completed within the 9am-5pm window with no issues. Building management complimented our professionalism. The sofa was successfully dismantled, moved, and reassembled at the new property. Client moved in that evening.
How do you handle buildings with restricted lift times?
We work within your building's rules. Many buildings only allow moves during weekday business hours or have specific time slots. We book accordingly and plan the move to fit these windows. If your slot is tight, we'll be honest about whether it's realistic.
Can you move flats with no lift access?
Yes. We've moved fifth-floor walk-ups. We assess stairwell width during the survey, some Victorian conversions have stairs too narrow for certain furniture, which we need to know upfront.
What about mansion blocks with strict rules?
Mansion blocks often require insurance certificates, specific time windows, deposit payments, and weeks of advance notice. We know these requirements and ensure everything's sorted before moving day. We've worked with most major London mansion blocks.
Can you store furniture if there's a gap between flats?
Absolutely. Common situation in London where completion dates don't align. We collect from your old flat, store in our secure facility, and deliver to your new flat when ready. Storage charged per week.
We provide flat removals throughout Central London (Westminster, Marylebone, Fitzrovia, Bloomsbury), West London (Notting Hill, Kensington, Chelsea, Hammersmith), North London (Camden, Islington, Highgate, Hampstead), East London (Shoreditch, Hackney, Canary Wharf, Stratford), and South London (Clapham, Battersea, Wandsworth, Greenwich).
