Local Removal Van Experts in Camden
We work across the whole of Camden every day – from Camden Town, Kentish Town and Chalk Farm to Belsize Park, Hampstead, King’s Cross and the surrounding areas. Knowing the local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts means we can plan your move realistically and avoid common delays.
We liaise with you in advance about loading access, lift booking slots and council parking suspensions where required. That local experience helps keep your move on time and stress-free.
Who Our Removal Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Camden, our removal vans and professional crews handle full house moves with care and structure. We can manage everything from fragile glassware to large appliances and garden furniture.
Renters
If you are moving between rented flats or houses, we can work to tight check-in/check-out times and ensure your belongings and the property are well protected. We regularly help tenants move within Camden and into neighbouring boroughs.
Landlords
Landlords use our removal vans to clear and reset properties between tenancies, remove old furniture, or deliver new items. We work considerately around other trades and building occupants.
Businesses
From small offices to retail units and studios, we provide professional removal vans for office relocations, internal moves and deliveries of equipment or stock. Out-of-hours and weekend moves are available to minimise disruption.
Students
Students in Camden, King’s Cross and around central London rely on our removal van service at the beginning and end of term. We offer smaller van options and efficient one or two-person crews to keep costs sensible.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or through our online form. We will ask a few key questions about your current property, destination, inventory and timing. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining what is included so you can compare fairly with other options.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything beyond a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done by video call or an onsite visit in Camden. We assess access, parking, stairs or lift use and the volume of goods. This lets us allocate the correct size removal van, crew and time, reducing the risk of overruns or extra charges on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack yourself or use our packing service. If you are packing, we can supply quality boxes and materials in advance. If we are packing, our trained team will arrive before or on the moving day to pack, label and protect your belongings, with extra care for fragile and high-value items.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, we protect floors and doorways as required, then systematically load the van to keep items secure in transit. Our crews use trolleys, ramps and lifting techniques to handle heavy pieces safely. Once loaded, your goods are transported directly to your new address in Camden or beyond, unless we have agreed a different arrangement.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it and reassembling anything we dismantled. We perform a final check with you before leaving to ensure everything that should be there is there, and you are satisfied with the positioning.
Transparent and Fair Pricing
Our pricing is clear and straightforward. We normally quote either a fixed price for the complete job or an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, depending on the scale and nature of the move.
What affects the cost?
- Property size and volume of items
- Distance between addresses
- Access issues (stairs only, long carries, limited parking)
- Number of movers required
- Optional extras such as packing, materials or dismantling/reassembly
All costs are explained in advance so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges for standard items or normal waiting times agreed at the quote stage.
Why Use a Professional Removal Van Service Instead of DIY?
Hiring a van and doing it yourself can appear cheaper, but it often comes with hidden costs: multiple trips, injury risk, damaged belongings and the stress of navigating Camden traffic and parking rules.
With Camden Movers, you benefit from:
- Trained teams who know how to lift, carry and protect items properly
- Fully insured transport for your belongings
- Correct equipment and vehicle size first time
- Realistic planning of timings and access
- Support if anything unexpected arises on the day
Compared with a casual man-and-van, you receive documented terms, professional standards, and proper insurance, which is crucial if something goes wrong.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to clear, accountable standards designed to protect you and your belongings.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to our terms and conditions
- Public liability cover – protects against damage or injury in and around the properties we are working in
- Trained moving teams – our crews are experienced, briefed on each job and follow safe working practices
- Documented booking confirmations and job sheets so everyone knows what is expected
We treat your possessions as if they were our own, and we record any pre-existing issues or special instructions before work begins.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protection is at the heart of our work. We use padded blankets, straps and wrapping for vulnerable items, and we take time to plan the order of loading so fragile belongings are not under pressure. We also look after your property by protecting floors and walls where required.
We are mindful of our environmental impact. Wherever possible, we reuse durable packing materials, offer returnable crates for some commercial clients and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. If you wish to dispose of unwanted furniture or items responsibly, we can advise on recycling and charity options in Camden.
Real-World Uses of Our Removal Vans
Moving House
From studio flats in Camden Town to family homes in Hampstead, our removal van service covers everything you need for a well-organised house move. We can coordinate key collection times and work alongside estate agents or building management.
Office Relocations
We regularly move offices around Camden and central London. That includes packing files and IT equipment, moving desks and storage, and setting out furniture in your new layout. Weekend or evening moves can be arranged to keep your business running.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves need to happen quickly – a tenancy change, a last-minute completion or a sudden change of plan. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day removal vans in Camden. We prioritise clear communication so that even a rushed move is as controlled and safe as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Camden cost?
The cost depends on the size of the van, the number of movers required, the distance between addresses and any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. Small local moves may be charged on an hourly basis with a minimum booking time, while full house or office moves are often priced as a fixed quote. During your enquiry or survey, we assess your requirements carefully so we can give a realistic price with everything clearly itemised and no hidden extras.
Can you provide a removal van at short notice or same day?
Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or next-day removal van bookings in Camden. Availability varies depending on the time of year, day of the week and the size of move you require. If you have an urgent move, contact us as early as you can with your details, and we will quickly confirm whether we can assist and what options are available. Even for last-minute jobs, we still work to our usual professional standards and insurance cover.
What insurance cover do you provide?
All our removal vans operate with goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and packing standards. We also carry public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury at the properties where we are working. We will explain the key points of our cover and provide details on request, so you understand exactly what is and is not covered before your move takes place.
What is included in a typical removal van service?
A standard booking includes the removal van itself, a trained moving crew, all loading and unloading, transport between the agreed addresses and basic placement of items in your new property. We also provide blankets, straps and trolleys as part of the service. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and out-of-hours moves. We confirm everything that is included in writing so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a basic man-and-van can be suitable for very small, low-risk moves, our service is structured for reliability and protection. We use professional moving crews, carry full insurance, provide written confirmations and surveys where needed, and use proper equipment and packing methods. We also plan access and timings in advance, which reduces the risk of delays and damage. In short, you are paying not just for transport, but for experience, accountability and care of your belongings.
How far in advance should I book a removal van?
For moves at busy times (Fridays, month-end, and summer), we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. For smaller or midweek moves, we can often accommodate shorter notice. That said, the earlier you contact us, the easier it is to plan parking, access and any packing support you may need. If your dates are not yet fixed, we can provide a provisional quote and update it once your plans are confirmed.
