Islington Movers Pricing and Quotes
Islington Movers offers clear, competitive and fully transparent pricing for all removal services in the Islington area. Whether you need a full removal company service for a flat or townhouse, or a flexible man and van option for a smaller move, our prices are designed to be easy to understand and simple to compare.
Our Transparent Pricing Model
We believe that removal company prices in the Islington area should never be confusing. There are no hidden charges for stairs, fuel within our standard service area, or basic insurance cover. Before you book, you receive a tailored quote that clearly sets out:
What is included in the price
How long the move is expected to take
How your load size has been calculated
Any optional extras you have chosen, such as packing or furniture dismantling
Once you confirm the details, the price you see is the price you pay for the agreed scope of work. If your plans change, we simply update your quote before the move so you always know where you stand.
Load-Based and Cubic-Yard Rates
To keep things fair and consistent, our main pricing structure is based on the volume of your belongings, measured in cubic yards. This approach allows us to offer accurate removal company prices in the Islington area, even where access and property types vary from street to street.
Our team will estimate your load size using a short questionnaire, photos, or a home visit for larger moves. We then match your move to the right size vehicle and number of movers. Typical bands include:
Up to 10 cubic yards: Ideal for small studio flats, student rooms, or partial moves.
10 to 20 cubic yards: Suitable for one-bedroom flats or compact top-floor conversions commonly found around Highbury and Canonbury.
20 to 35 cubic yards: Works well for most two-bedroom flats or maisonettes in areas like Angel and Barnsbury.
35 cubic yards and above: Designed for larger family homes and townhouses often seen near Islington Green and surrounding streets.
Because we use cubic-yard rates, you only pay for the space you actually need, not the full capacity of a large vehicle you might not fill.
Man and Van Cost in the Islington Area
For smaller moves, our man and van service gives you an affordable and flexible option. Man and van cost in the Islington area is calculated using a combination of time and load size, so you are not overpaying for a full removal crew when you only need one or two movers.
Man and van is ideal for:
Single-room moves between shared houses around Holloway Road or Archway.
Short-distance moves within Islington for people upgrading from a studio to a one-bedroom flat.
Small office or shop clearances along Upper Street and local high streets.
Transporting a few bulky items, such as wardrobes, sofas or white goods.
The final cost will be based on how much space your items fill in the vehicle and the time it takes to complete the work, always quoted in advance.
Example Pricing for Typical Islington Moves
To help you understand how removal company prices in the area and man and van costs are applied in real situations, here are some typical examples. These are indicative only; your actual quote will be tailored to your specific requirements.
Example 1: Studio Flat Move in Angel
A ground or first-floor studio flat near Angel station, with standard furniture, a bed, small sofa, a few kitchen appliances and around 15 to 20 boxes. This might be around 10 to 12 cubic yards of belongings.
In many cases, this can be completed with our man and van service, keeping costs down for single occupants or students. The move typically takes a few hours, depending on traffic and access at both ends.
Example 2: One-Bedroom Flat in Highbury to Barnsbury
A classic one-bedroom flat in a period conversion, including a larger sofa, double bed, wardrobes, dining table, chairs, and 25 to 30 boxes. The volume might be around 15 to 20 cubic yards.
We would usually assign a medium-sized vehicle and two movers. This provides a balance between keeping the move time efficient and controlling the overall removal company price in the area. Access issues, such as narrow staircases or limited parking, are factored into the time estimate.
Example 3: Two-Bedroom Maisonette near Upper Street
A two-bedroom split-level maisonette close to Upper Street, with two beds, wardrobes, chests of drawers, a large corner sofa, dining set, desks, and around 40 to 50 boxes. This might fill around 25 to 30 cubic yards.
For this size, we generally recommend a larger vehicle and a team of two or three movers. Busier locations near central Islington may involve additional planning for parking and access, all accounted for in your upfront quote.
Example 4: Three-Bedroom Townhouse in Barnsbury
A larger family home spread over several floors, often seen in Barnsbury and Canonbury, with multiple bedrooms, substantial living room furniture, garden items, and stored belongings in lofts or basements. Volumes here can easily exceed 35 cubic yards.
We typically allocate a large vehicle and three or more movers, with a detailed moving plan. This ensures that even complex moves remain smooth and that the cost reflects the actual work and load size, not a guess.
What Affects Your Final Price
While we aim to keep our pricing simple, a few key factors will influence your final quote:
Load size in cubic yards
Number of movers required
Distance between properties
Access issues such as stairs, lifts, or restricted parking
Optional services including packing, unpacking, and furniture assembly
By discussing these details with you in advance, we keep your removal company prices in the area accurate and predictable.
