About Us
About Islington Movers
Islington Movers is a locally rooted removal company dedicated to providing a reliable, friendly and professional area removal service across Islington and the surrounding neighbourhoods. From Georgian terraces off Upper Street to modern apartments near Kings Cross, we understand the streets, estates and landmarks that make our borough unique, and we use that knowledge to make every move smoother for our customers.
Our Story As A Local Islington Removal Company
Islington Movers began over a decade ago with a single van, a small team and a simple idea: a local removal company should care as much about the community as it does about the job. Our founders grew up around Highbury Fields, Finsbury Park and the Caledonian Road, and saw first-hand how stressful moving home could be for families, students and small businesses in a busy London borough.
What started as weekend moves for neighbours in Canonbury and Barnsbury soon grew into a full-time area removal service covering Angel, Holloway, Archway, Clerkenwell and beyond. Over the years in operation, we have helped residents move in and out of council estates such as the Andover Estate and the Bemerton Estate, relocated offices near Old Street and Kings Cross, and supported countless local businesses along Essex Road, Blackstock Road and Stroud Green Road.
Today, Islington Movers runs a modern, well-maintained fleet and a trained team, but the spirit of a friendly neighbourhood service remains at the heart of everything we do.
Years Of Experience In Islington Moves
With well over ten years in operation, our team has managed every type of move you can imagine, from top-floor flats near Highbury & Islington station to narrow mews houses tucked behind Upper Street. Our experience as an established Islington removal company means we understand controlled parking zones, one-way systems and busy times on streets like Holloway Road and Liverpool Road, and we plan each move carefully around them.
This detailed local knowledge helps us deliver a dependable area removal service that minimises delays and disruption, whether you are moving a single room near Angel station or an entire family home overlooking Clissold Park.
Licensed And Responsible: Environment Agency Registration
Islington Movers is fully licensed with the Environment Agency to carry and dispose of waste responsibly. This registration is a key part of how we operate as a professional removal company in the area. During moves, there are often unwanted items, packaging materials and old furniture that need to be cleared; our licensing means we handle these materials legally and correctly.
We work in line with local guidance from Islington Council and make regular use of official borough recycling centres, such as the Hornsey Street Reuse and Recycling Centre, ensuring that items from your move are not simply dumped or fly-tipped on streets around Caledonian Road, Holloway or Tufnell Park.
Trained, Friendly And Reliable Staff
Every member of the Islington Movers team is trained to handle belongings with care, navigate tight staircases in period properties and manage heavy or awkward items safely. Many of our staff live in the borough, from flats off Seven Sisters Road to homes near Gillespie Park, giving them a genuine connection to the community they serve.
Training for our crews covers manual handling, careful packing, safe driving and customer care. Whether we are moving delicate items from a studio apartment near Sadler's Wells Theatre or an office close to the Emirates Stadium, our team treats your property, and your time, with respect.
Our Mission As An Islington Removal Company
Our mission is to provide a removal service in the area that combines professional standards with the warmth and trust of a true local business. We aim to make moving day less stressful, more organised and more predictable for every customer, from first-time renters in student houses near London Metropolitan University to long-standing residents downsizing from family homes near Highbury Fields.
We focus on clear communication, punctual arrivals and tailored support, whether you need full packing and unpacking or just careful transport between addresses in and around Islington.
Eco-Responsibility At The Heart Of Our Service
As part of our commitment to the community, Islington Movers puts eco-responsibility at the centre of how we operate. Moving home or office does not need to mean creating unnecessary waste. We encourage customers to reuse sturdy boxes, offer guidance on responsible decluttering, and use recycled or recyclable packing materials wherever possible.
Our vehicles are regularly maintained to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions as we move between neighbourhoods like Angel, Highbury, Finsbury Park and Archway. When planning multi-stop moves around the borough, we group jobs where we can to cut down on unnecessary mileage through busy routes such as Holloway Road, City Road and Upper Street.
Recycling Partnerships And Responsible Disposal
We work with recognised recycling facilities and local partners to ensure unwanted items are dealt with responsibly. As a licensed Environment Agency carrier, we can collect and sort items for recycling or reuse rather than send everything to general waste.
Where suitable, we direct furniture, white goods and other reusable items towards local reuse streams or charitable outlets within the wider North London area. For the remainder, we utilise council-approved facilities like the Hornsey Street Reuse and Recycling Centre, ensuring that materials are processed properly and do not end up abandoned on estates or nearby streets.
Deep Ties To The Islington Community
Islington Movers is more than just a removal company in the area; we are part of the fabric of the borough. Over the years, we have supported local community events near Highbury Fields, helped small independent shops relocate along Upper Street and Essex Road, and assisted community groups based around Finsbury Park and Archway.
We have moved families into new homes overlooking Paradise Park, young professionals into new-build developments near Kings Cross, and creative studios into converted spaces around Clerkenwell and Old Street. These everyday connections keep us closely in touch with the needs of local residents and businesses.
Because so many of our team live and work right here in Islington, we see the results of our work daily, whether it is a family settling into a flat off Caledonian Road or a café reopening smoothly after a relocation near Angel station. That sense of shared neighbourhood responsibility shapes how we run every job.
