Flat and apartment removals without the stairwell stress
Studios to 3-bed flats, planned around lifts, stairs, loading bays and parking permits.
Flat moves go wrong for different reasons than house moves. The van cannot park close, the lift is booked by another resident, the corridor is narrow, or the building has strict moving hours. The belongings are fewer, but the logistics are harder.
We plan flat moves around the building. We ask about floors, lift size and booking rules, parking and loading access, and whether a permit or bay suspension is needed. Then we send the right size of van and crew so you are not paying for a lorry that cannot get near the door.
What is included
- Pre-move questions on lift size, floors, loading bay and building rules
- Corridor, lift and stair protection where the building requires it
- Short-carry crews and smaller vans for tight streets
- Help arranging parking suspension or permit timings (you apply, we advise on lead times)
- Furniture dismantling for stairs and narrow doorways
- Optional packing and boxed-delivery to a specific floor or room
Who this is best for
- Renters moving between flats at the end of a tenancy
- First-time buyers moving into a leasehold flat
- Buildings with managed lifts, concierge or restricted hours
Tips from our crews
- Ask your managing agent about lift booking and moving hours at least two weeks before.
- Measure the lift and the narrowest doorway if you own a large sofa or wardrobe.
- For permits, local councils often need several working days notice, and charges vary by borough.

Flat Removals: common questions
Do I need a parking permit for the van?
In many busy streets, yes. Councils offer parking bay suspensions or dispensations, usually applied for online with several working days notice. Rules and fees vary by council, so check yours early.
What if the lift is too small?
Tell us before the day. We can dismantle furniture, use stair carries with extra crew, or use a smaller van for a shuttle. These choices change the price, so it is best to agree them up front.
Do you move students and renters?
Yes. We move one-bed flats and shared houses regularly, and offer flexible slots around tenancy end dates.
