Read guideYes. Alpha Movers provides house removals, flat moves, man and van hire, packing and specialist furniture support across London and nearby London from our Ilford IG2 base. Local jobs, cross-borough moves and longer UK runs are all planned the same way: inventory, access and parking first, then a clear hourly or fixed price. We operate 8am–10pm, seven days a week, with insured crews and no Greater London travel surcharge. Send both postcodes on WhatsApp with a few photos and we will confirm coverage, timing and the right van size before you book.
In London, driver-only man and van hire starts from £80 for the first 2 hours, then £40/hr. With one helper: from £110 / 2hrs, then £65/hr. Larger helper crews start from £150 / 2hrs. Fuel, ULEZ, blankets, straps and standard insurance cover sit in the quote structure — no surprise stair or weekend premiums. Exact time depends on inventory, stairs, parking carry and distance. WhatsApp postcodes and item photos and we will say whether driver-only or helpers is the better value before the clock starts.
Yes. Fixed quotes suit fuller inventories, awkward access or busy parking in London. Send photos, room or item list, both postcodes, floor levels and parking notes on WhatsApp. Hourly still works well for lighter, well-prepared jobs with easy loading. Either way we explain what is included for fuel, ULEZ, protection and insurance before you book — so you compare a real plan, not a vague “from” figure with no access checks behind it.
Yes. Stairs, lifts, long carries and tight London access are planned into the booking so helper count matches the real building. We do not invent a stair surcharge on the doorstep — floor level is part of the quote conversation. Photos of stair turns, sofas and parking help us confirm dismantling or extra hands early. Shared halls and landings are handled carefully. If a sofa will not fit, we can discuss hoisting as a separate option before you commit.
Yes. Goods in Transit and Public Liability cover are included with every Alpha Movers booking, alongside blankets and straps for furniture. High-value or specially fragile items should be declared before collection so handling notes are clear. If a landlord or building manager asks for proof of cover for a loading bay or service lift, we can supply the usual documents at booking confirmation. That cover is part of choosing a proper moving team rather than a random van at short notice.
Same-day and next-day slots in London can be possible when a van and crew are available — WhatsApp is the fastest check. Smaller man-and-van loads are easier at short notice than full house moves. Send inventory, postcodes, floor levels and parking notes as early as you can. We operate 8am–10pm, seven days a week; if today is full we will offer the next open window instead of over-promising.
