House Removals across London, done properly
House removals across London shouldn’t mean guessing the price or hoping the crew turns up. Phi Movers gives you a clear fixed quote for your house move — van, crew and loading included — whether you’re leaving a terrace in Hackney or a family home in Richmond.
Every house is different, which is why we price from inventory, access at both ends and any extras you choose. You get a fixed quotation before moving day — not an open-ended hourly bill for a full house removal. Hourly man-and-van rates start from £50/hour with a two-hour minimum for smaller jobs. No hidden fees when the crew arrives.
Our teams move households across all 32 London boroughs every week. We know which streets need a parking suspension, where the low bridges are, and how to get a sofa up a narrow Victorian staircase without a scratch — carried by hand, not by crane.
What's included as standard
We believe the price you're quoted should be the price you pay. That's why every house removals booking comes with the essentials built in — no surprise charges bolted on when the crew arrives.
- A clean, well-maintained van sized to your house move
- An experienced, uniformed two-person crew (more available)
- Loading and unloading — never charged as an extra
- Furniture blankets, straps, trolleys and floor protection
- Basic dismantling and reassembly of beds and flat-pack
- Sofa & bulky-furniture hoisting up tight staircases (carried by hand — no crane)
- Goods-in-transit and public liability insurance

How it works, step by step
We’ve refined our process across London moves every week to keep everything simple and predictable. Here’s exactly what happens from your first enquiry through to completion.
- 1
Get your free quote
Tell us what you need moving, your pickup and delivery addresses and your preferred date. Start your quote in under a minute — we usually reply with a clear fixed price within about one working hour. No site visit required for most jobs; a free home survey is available for larger moves.
- 2
Confirm your booking
Pick a date and time that suits you. A small deposit is only asked when you confirm the booking — it comes off your final balance. We’ll send a confirmation with everything you need to prepare, plus a friendly reminder as the day approaches.
- 3
We prepare and protect
On the day, our uniformed crew arrives on time with blankets, straps and trolleys. We protect floors, doorways and furniture before anything is lifted, so your home and your belongings stay in perfect condition.
- 4
Careful transport
Your items are loaded, secured and driven safely to the destination by an experienced London driver who knows the boroughs, the permit zones and the quickest routes at any time of day.
- 5
Unload and settle in
We place everything exactly where you want it, reassemble anything we took apart and only leave once you’re completely happy. Payment is taken on completion — simple and stress-free.
How much does it cost?
Full house removals receive an individually calculated fixed quotation based on inventory, access and distance — so you know the total before we arrive. Loading, unloading and the first 10 journey miles are included.
Hourly man-and-van services start from £50/hour with a two-hour minimum (from £100 before relevant additions). That rate card is for smaller flexible jobs — not a £50 full house move. See our pricing page or man & van for hourly details.
| House move size | Fixed-quote guide |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bed flat | Guide from £299 |
| 2-bed flat / small house | Guide from £499 |
| 3-bed house | Guide from £749 |
| 4-bed+ house | Guide from £999 |
Guides only — your final price is a fixed quote based on inventory, access and distance. Hourly man & van rates live on man & van.
Quotes are free — no deposit or card details just to enquire. A small deposit only applies when you confirm a booking.
WhatsApp or call with your addresses — most replies within about one working hour. Larger jobs can book a free home survey.
What size van do I need?
Not sure which van fits your home? Use this simple guide — then confirm with photos on WhatsApp and we'll lock the right option into your fixed quote.
| Property | Typical van |
|---|---|
| Studio / bedsits | Small van |
| 1-bed flat | Small or Transit van |
| 2-bed flat or small house | Transit or Luton |
| 3-bed house | Luton van |
| 4-bed+ house | Luton + extra crew / second run |
What affects the price
A few practical factors move the final number up or down. Knowing them in advance helps you plan and, in many cases, keep costs lower:
- The volume of items and the size of van required
- How many crew members or helpers you need
- Access at both addresses — stairs, lifts and carry distance
- Total mileage beyond the first 10 included miles
- Timing — evenings, weekends, bank holidays and same-day bookings
- Optional extras such as packing, dismantling or storage

What customers say
The crew wrapped every piece of furniture and had us moved across town before lunch. Fixed price with no surprises — the most stress-free move we've ever had.
Alena CartyCamden, LondonPolite, quick and genuinely careful with every single box. They got a huge sofa up a narrow staircase without a scratch. Couldn't recommend them more.

Yes. You can add a full or fragile-only packing service, or simply buy a materials kit and pack yourself. Just let us know when you book and we’ll include it in your fixed quote.
For weekends and month-end dates we recommend booking one to two weeks ahead. Mid-week and mid-month slots are often available at shorter notice, and we offer same-day bookings subject to crew availability.
Basic bed frames and flat-pack items are handled as standard. For wardrobes, complex units or full furniture assembly, add our assembly option and we’ll bring the right tools and time.
Yes — sofa and bulky-furniture hoisting up tight staircases is included and done by hand. We don’t use cranes; if access is extremely tight we’ll assess photos or a survey first.
Your quote covers the crew, the van, loading and unloading, basic protection materials and the first 10 journey miles. Optional extras like packing or storage are itemised clearly before you book.
As a guide: studio / 1-bed often suits a small or transit van; a typical 2–3 bed house usually needs a Luton; larger homes may need a Luton plus extra crew or a second run. WhatsApp photos of your rooms and we’ll confirm the right van in your quote.
Declutter first — every item you move costs money to move. Pack rarely used items early, leave daily essentials until last, and pack an “open me first” box with chargers, kettle, toiletries and a change of clothes. Defrost the fridge the night before and keep valuables with you.
Heavy items (books) go in small boxes; lighter items (bedding) in large ones. Fill gaps, and label boxes on the side. Prefer to skip packing? Add our full packing service — we wrap, box and label, often the day before. On the day we protect floors, doorways and furniture before lifting.
Many boroughs need a suspended bay or visitor permit for a removals van — arrange both addresses a few working days ahead. Not sure what you need? Ask us — we deal with London parking daily and will confirm access, stairs and carry distance before the crew arrives.
