Removals in Camden, Including the Bits Everyone Else Charges Extra For
Flats, Shares, Conversions and Mansion Blocks
Most moves around here are flats rather than houses, often with a tenancy ending on one date and starting on another. We work to whatever shape yours takes, carry everything ourselves, and give you one written figure that already includes the parking and the packing kit.
What Camden Customers Say Once They Are In
Find Your Situation and See How It Works
| Your situation | How it works | What that means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Old tenancy ends the same day the new one starts | Out in the morning, in during the afternoon | One day, one crew, no overnight gap to solve |
| A few days between the two | We hold everything and deliver when you are in | No sofa in a friend flat, no second van hire |
| Only your room is moving from a share | Smaller crew, priced for the volume that is actually going | You are not paying for a whole-flat move |
| Third floor, no lift, at one or both ends | Crew size set to the stairs at the survey | The day finishes on time and the price does not change |
| Less than two weeks notice | Ask anyway, we often have slots | Short notice is common here, not a problem |
| Cannot take a day off work | Evening and weekend slots | No annual leave spent on a van |
Short Notice Is Always Worth Asking About
Plenty of moves in Camden are arranged quickly. A tenancy ends, a flat becomes available, a job starts, and suddenly the date is a fortnight away. That is normal here and it is worth a phone call rather than an assumption that you have left it too late.
We keep slots for exactly this. If we can do it, we will say so straight away and give you a price the same day. If we genuinely cannot make your date work, we will tell you that just as quickly so you can try someone else while there is still time, rather than leaving you waiting on a maybe.
Booking early is easier and getting a price commits you to nothing, so there is no reason to wait for everything to be confirmed.
What a Camden Move Costs
It Is the Walk to the Van That Costs, Not the Distance to NW3
Volume is simple enough and gets counted at the survey, which takes about twenty minutes on a video call for a flat.
It is the walk to the van that costs, not the distance to NW3
The mileage between two Camden addresses is almost never what makes a move expensive. What makes the difference is the distance from your front door to wherever the van can legally stop. On a narrow street near the market, or outside a mansion block with a long internal corridor, that walk can be considerably further than the drive.
This is worth knowing for one reason only: it is why we look before quoting. When we have seen the carry at both ends we bring the right number of people and the figure we gave you holds. You do not need to measure anything, count steps or work out where a van might fit. Point a phone camera down the hallway and we will do the rest.
The same applies to the parking. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed we arrange it and it sits inside the quotation. There is no council form with your name on it and nothing for you to chase.
What the price already covers
| Included | Why it matters in a Camden flat |
|---|---|
| Crew sized to the stairs | Third floor with no lift is planned for, not discovered |
| Any parking permission | Applied for by us, included in the figure |
| Crates, blankets and rails | Delivered ahead, collected after, nothing to buy |
| Protection on furniture | Covers on sofas and mattresses for narrow doorways |
| Carrying to the room | Nothing dumped in a communal hallway |
| One written price | Agreed beforehand and held to on the day |
Packing, storage and furniture dismantling are available and quoted at the same time, so if you decide you want them the figure is already known.
Kit Built for Narrow Stairs and Long Corridors
Boxes That Turn Up Early and Leave Afterwards
Crates close without tape and stack square, which is what you want on a staircase that was built for one person carrying a bag. They lift on two handles rather than needing a hand underneath, and they fit through the kind of doorway a Victorian conversion tends to have. We drop them off a couple of weeks before so packing happens whenever you have an hour spare, and we take them away once you have unpacked. There is nothing to buy at the start and no cardboard to get rid of at the end.

What We Move Across Camden
Homes, single rooms, offices and storage, from Camden Town and Kentish Town across to Bloomsbury, Primrose Hill, Belsize Park, Hampstead and Kilburn. Everything is quoted the same way: someone looks, you get one figure, and that figure is what you pay.
Neighbouring boroughs are covered on their own pages. Haringey and Barnet both deal with the mix of flats and family homes found immediately north, where access varies more than the postcode suggests.
Whole-property moves anywhere in the borough, whether that is a one bedroom conversion in Kentish Town or a family house in Primrose Hill. The crew size is matched to the stairs and the carry, so the job finishes when we said it would and the price stays where it was.
Moving out of a house share means moving one room, not a house, and it should be priced that way. We take your furniture and belongings, leave everyone else undisturbed, and charge for the volume that actually travels. Popular with anyone moving between flatshares or leaving one after university.
Small offices and studios moved in the evening or across a weekend so nobody loses a working day. Desk contents go into labelled crates and come out at the right desk, which means people sit down on Monday and get on with it.
Packing can be everything, or just the kitchen and the breakables, and storage covers any gap between tenancies. Things go into crates once and stay in them, so a few days in storage adds no extra handling and no repacking.
The Bits People Worry About
Four things people tend to ask about before booking. All four are ours to sort out, and none of them need anything from you beyond mentioning them.
Very common here and entirely normal work. Tell us the floor and we bring the people to match, which is already priced in. Occasionally a large sofa needs turning or taking apart, and if that looks likely we will mention it at the survey and plan for it rather than finding out on the day.
Handled by us from start to finish. Where a permit or bay suspension is required we apply for it, pay for it and include it in your quotation. You will not be asked to contact the council or fill anything in.
Available, and often the sensible choice if taking a weekday off is difficult. The slot is agreed at the survey so it forms part of the quoted price rather than appearing later as a premium.
Storage bridges it without any fuss. We collect on your last day, keep everything safely in the crates it was packed in, and deliver into the new flat when you have the keys. It is quoted alongside the move so you know the cost in advance.
Good to Know
Camden Removals FAQs
How much does a move in Camden cost?
It comes down to how much is going and how far it has to be carried at each end. We look first, usually on a short video call, then send one written figure covering the crew, the vehicle, the crates and any parking permission. If what we collect matches what we saw, that is the amount you pay.
Do I need to arrange parking for the van?
No. If a permit or suspended bay is needed we apply for it and the cost is already inside your quote. It is one of the jobs you can hand over completely.
We are on the fourth floor with no lift. Is that extra?
It is accounted for rather than added on. Tell us the floor at the survey and we bring a bigger crew, which is reflected in the price you agree before the day. What we will not do is quote for a ground floor flat and then ask for more when we see the stairs.
Can you move just my room out of a flatshare?
Yes, and it is a regular job for us. You are quoted for the volume that is actually moving rather than for a whole property, and the rest of the flat carries on undisturbed while we work.
Our new tenancy starts a few days after the old one ends. What do we do?
Nothing complicated. We collect on your last day, store everything in the meantime and deliver once you have the keys. Because it stays in the same crates throughout there is no repacking and no double handling, and the storage is priced alongside the move.
How much notice do you need?
Less than most people assume. A couple of weeks is comfortable, and shorter than that is often still possible, so it is always worth asking. If we cannot do your date we will tell you quickly rather than leaving you waiting.
Can you pack for us?
Yes, either the whole flat or just the kitchen and the fragile things, which is the part most people would rather not do. Both options are priced at the survey so you can weigh them up against doing it yourself.
Which areas do you cover?
The whole borough and the surrounding area, including Camden Town, Kentish Town, Bloomsbury, Primrose Hill, Belsize Park, Hampstead, Gospel Oak, Holborn and Kilburn. Moves out of London are quoted the same way.
