House Removals Islington
Moving home in Islington is very different from moving in outer London. Properties are closer together, streets are busier, parking is limited, and many homes are period conversions or flats spread over several floors. A smooth move here depends on timing, access planning, and a team that knows how to work efficiently in tight spaces.
As standard, we will protect your furniture and floors, pack the boxes, load your possessions on time, transport and deliver to your new home. For bigger properties, we always do a free survey to avoid moving day issues.

Moving Costs Islington
The cost of your move in Islington will depend on several key factors — including the size of your property, the distance between addresses, ease of access (stairs, lifts, or parking restrictions), and any extra services like packing, storage, or furniture assembly.
We offer flexible hourly rates for smaller moves and fixed pricing for full house or office relocations, ensuring you always know what you’re paying for.

Typical moving costs range from £350 to £550.
2-Bedroom Property
Most moves cost between £500 and £850.
3-Bed Home Move
Typical prices range from £750 to £1,350.
Parking suspension in Islington: If parking outside your property is limited, you may need to arrange a parking suspension to reserve space for the removal vehicle. In Islington, residential suspensions currently cost £164.80 for the first day (covering as many spaces as required), followed by £62.25 per space on day two and £67.50 per space per day thereafter, while business-related suspensions are charged at higher rates. Applications typically require 10–14 days’ notice, and warning signs are usually displayed before the suspension begins to help ensure smooth access on moving day.

“Absolutely brilliant service. Moving house was made so much easier and stress free with Movivan. Every contact with Movivan member of staff was positive. Everyone went out of their way to help. Really affordable as well. Have recommended to lots of people already. Love Rachel and Dan Joseph (Highams Park)“
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I used Movivan for a home move including packing of personal items and moving of some furniture. The movers were extremely efficient, quick, polite and careful with all my items. Especially given it was down 4 flights of stairs and up another 4 at my new flat, they were incredibly fast. Would definitely use them again for a next move“
