W1 is one moving guide, with the full address doing the detail.
This guide covers W1 and its lettered districts for home moves and furniture collections. Tell us the full postcode, building number and entrance. Soho, Mayfair, Marylebone and Fitzrovia are useful orientation names, but they do not specify where belongings can reach a van.
For a flat above other premises, identify the residential entrance and every floor used by the load. If collection is from a shop or managed building, ask for the approved release point and time. A public reception or street-facing door may be different from the service entrance used for furniture.
W1 is a postal grouping, not one set of council or building rules. Check who controls the actual street and any private loading area. In particular, use the relevant authority for the address rather than assuming every W1 location is dealt with by the same council.
Soho and Fitzrovia: agree the entrance and time window.
For a Soho or Fitzrovia enquiry, explain whether items are in a room, a complete flat or a seller's premises. Give the collection contact, building access and any delivery slot supplied by the property manager. Confirm the instructions for the actual date rather than reusing a past collection arrangement.
If the flat has stairs, describe narrow turns and landings and give dimensions and known weights for bulky pieces. A short road journey does not make the carrying straightforward. Tell us if you cannot assist so the proposed crew does not depend on your lifting help.
For a shared property, label which belongings are yours and which stay. Count boxes and list separate furniture. Packing help, taking a bed apart or assembling furniture later should be requested in the enquiry so the plan reflects more than transport alone.
Mayfair and Marylebone: distinguish loading from waiting.
For a Mayfair or Marylebone home, give the full property address even when the enquiry uses a W1 area name; nearby addresses may have other postcode prefixes. Ask about porter or managing-agent arrangements, lift dimensions and where a van is actually permitted to load.
Westminster's published guidance distinguishes active loading from waiting and sets conditions that depend on location and vehicle. Check the actual signs and any loading ban. Do not assume a suspension is always required, or that an empty space is automatically available for the move.
For a shop purchase, confirm dimensions, known weight and packaging with the seller. Explain any fragile or unusual item before booking. A central London address does not establish specialist art, antique or piano handling; suitability and any applicable cover need discussion for the actual belongings.
Your moving questions, answered.
Can I request a move from W1D, W1K or W1U?
Yes. This W1 guide includes the lettered W1 districts. Send the full postcode, item list, date and access details so the actual journey, availability and assistance can be confirmed.
Does every W1 address have the same loading rules?
No. Check the street's responsible authority, current signs and any private building arrangements. Postal districts do not establish a single parking permission or loading exemption.
Can you quote for a W1 flat above shops?
Give the actual entrance, floors, stair turns or lift dimensions, inventory and loading position. Confirm the collection contact and any building time window, plus the same access details at delivery.
A little preparation, a clearer moving day.
Make a list of furniture and packed boxes, including belongings in cupboards, lofts, garages or storage that are part of your move. Send dimensions and known weights for large or awkward items. Photographs can help explain the load and any difficult access.
Driver and van starts from £60/hour with no loading or unloading help: arrange your own helpers at both ends. One mover and van starts from £80/hour, or two movers and van from £95/hour. Tell us which help you need, then confirm the suitable vehicle, minimum hours, inclusions, any applicable charges and complete price.
Student moves from £100 with ground-floor loading help · Packing from £290 for 1–2 bedrooms or £500 for 3–4 bedrooms. Confirm the actual scope and whether materials and any applicable VAT are included in your quote.
Booking and moving information.
How do I get a removals quote?
Use the online quote form, call 07960 200253 or message us on WhatsApp with the postcodes, date and what is being moved. We give you the price upfront, before you book.
Is a quote a booking?
No. A quote request does not reserve a date. Nothing is booked until you have agreed the details and the price with us.
What size of van do you use?
We use small vans such as the Ford Transit Custom and Renault Trafic, Ford Transit short, medium and long wheelbase vans, and Luton vans. Luton vans with a tail lift are available. We recommend the van when we quote, and photos of the larger items sent on WhatsApp help.
What hours do you work?
Removals run seven days a week, from 8am to 8pm, and you can book for the next day until midnight.
Do you offer packing and furniture assembly?
Yes. Packing, taking furniture apart and assembly are available on request, and packing materials are available on advance notice only. Tick what you need on the quote form or tell us when you call, and we give you the price upfront.
What insurance do you have?
We hold hire and reward insurance. Goods in transit insurance is available at extra cost if you need it: ask for it when you request your quote, and check your own contents insurance as well.
What is your cancellation policy?
An £80 cancellation fee applies if you cancel with at least 24 hours' notice. If you cancel less than 24 hours before your move, 50% of the quoted fee applies. Cancellations cannot be accepted within 8 hours of the move, so the full quoted fee applies and is not refunded, unless the cancellation is because of a medical emergency supported by hospital records, in which case 50% of the quoted fee applies.
How can I pay?
You can pay by card or bank transfer.
