House removals in London from £90

Alpha Movers charges from £90 for a small van with a driver, £110 with one helper, and £150 for a medium or Luton van with two helpers — all on a 2-hour minimum. Additional time is £45–£75 per hour depending on van and crew, billed in 30-minute increments.

Fuel, ULEZ, insurance, blankets and straps are included. There are no stair fees, no ULEZ surcharges and no weekend premiums. After the 2-hour minimum, time is charged in 30-minute increments, so a 2 hour 30 minute job is not rounded up to three hours.

Larger moves can be quoted at a fixed price on request. Dismantling, packing and boxes are charged separately and confirmed before moving day.

Alpha Movers operates from 779 Eastern Avenue, Ilford IG2 7RX and covers all 32 London boroughs. East London is the core service area — Ilford, Stratford, Hackney, Walthamstow, Barking, East Ham, Romford and Goodmayes — with full coverage across North, South and West London.

East London is where Alpha Movers is based, so Ilford, Redbridge, Newham, Hackney, Barking & Dagenham and Waltham Forest are covered daily. Beyond that, Alpha Movers regularly handles removals in Croydon, Enfield, Finchley, Highgate, Hampstead, Hounslow, Harrow, Wimbledon, Clapham, Islington, Kensington, Lambeth, Camden and Canary Wharf.

London-specific access is planned into every job: CPZ parking suspensions, Victorian staircase turns, narrow Edwardian doorways, and ULEZ zones — the ULEZ charge is absorbed by Alpha Movers, not passed on.

Yes. Alpha Movers runs a single item transport service across London for one sofa, bed, wardrobe, mattress, fridge or desk. A single-item move uses a small van with one helper from £110 on a 2-hour minimum, or £90 driver-only if you can load and unload the item yourself.

Single item moves are booked the same way as a full removal — same vans, same rate card, no separate "courier" pricing. Typical single item jobs across London include a sofa bought on Facebook Marketplace, a bed frame moving between flats, a fridge-freezer delivered from a warehouse, or a desk going into a home office.

If the item will not fit through the staircase or doorway at either address, Alpha Movers can hoist it externally instead — see the furniture hoisting answer below.

Yes. Alpha Movers provides external furniture hoisting across London for sofas, beds, mattresses, wardrobes and appliances that will not fit through a staircase, doorway or lift. The item is lifted through a window or over a balcony using rigging equipment and a trained crew, from £150.

Hoisting is the standard solution in London's older housing stock — Victorian conversions with a tight staircase turn, purpose-built blocks with a lift too small for a three-seater, and new-build flats with balcony access but a narrow internal hallway.

The Alpha Movers crew surveys the window or balcony opening, the drop height and the street access before the day, so the correct rigging arrives first time. Sofas, corner sofas, mattresses, wardrobes, white goods and gym equipment are all hoistable.

Furniture hoisting with Alpha Movers costs £150 to £280. The price is set by three factors: the floor level the item is going to or coming from, the size and weight of the item, and how much street access is available for rigging and positioning.

A single mattress to a second-floor window sits at the lower end of the range. A corner sofa to a fifth-floor balcony with restricted street access sits at the upper end. Alpha Movers confirms the exact figure before booking — the quote is fixed once the window or balcony dimensions, floor level and access are known, so there is no day-of price change.

No stair fees, no ULEZ charge and no weekend premium apply to hoisting jobs.
