Quick answer

How much does house removals cost in Bloomsbury?

Bloomsbury houses are Georgian terraces on Doughty Street, Great Ormond Street and round Mecklenburgh Square, with four floors, a basement kitchen and steps to the front door. We run them as three-person jobs with stair protection and plan a Camden suspension so the van sits outside, not down the street.

Bloomsbury removals often involve mansion blocks, university moves, student rooms, offices, red routes and controlled parking.

We plan parking, lift booking, stair carries, packing, crates and timing around Central London streets.

Email postcodes, floor levels, parking notes and photos of bulky items. We will tell you the right van and crew before you book.

  • Congestion Charge: The address sits inside the Congestion Charge zone. We confirm on the quote how the charge is handled, so nothing is added on the day.
  • Prices: published hourly rates, whole-hour booking. Stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour and shown in the quote, never added on the day.

Local knowledge

Moving in Bloomsbury: what changes the job

The address sits inside the Congestion Charge zone. We confirm on the quote how the charge is handled, so nothing is added on the day.

The squares and the Bedford Estate

Russell Square, Bedford Square, Gordon Square and the streets between them are resident bays with short pay-and-display stays, enforced by Camden. The mansion blocks on the squares have porters and lift rules. For a full flat move we recommend a suspension, and for a student room a timed bay usually does.

Student halls and term dates

UCL, SOAS, LSE and the intercollegiate halls round Cartwright Gardens and Tavistock Square all move in and out in the same weeks. Halls set loading slots and some ban vans on the busiest days. Book early for September and June and send the hall name so we can check its rules.

Euston Road and the British Museum

Euston Road is a red route with no stopping, and the British Museum sends coaches and foot traffic onto Great Russell Street from mid-morning. We route arrivals away from both and plan early starts for anything on Montague Street or Great Russell Street.

Congestion Charge

Bloomsbury is inside the Congestion Charge zone. The quote says how the charge is handled, and we never add a ULEZ charge, so nothing is added on the day.

FAQs

Bloomsbury moving questions answered

Not here? Email us or ask Giga in the chat, 8am to 10pm, seven days.

House removals start at £75/hr with a small van and 2-person crew (2-hour minimum, £150). Most family homes use a Luton and 3 people at £130/hr (3-hour minimum, £390). You book whole hours, and overrun is billed in 30-minute steps. A small, well-packed house stays close to the starting price, while a 3 to 4 bed home with garage contents, packing or a long carry needs more hours. Mileage is charged one way and stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour. There is no weekend, evening, bank holiday or ULEZ premium and no deposit. Email both postcodes and a room list and we tell you how many hours to book. Bloomsbury houses are Georgian terraces on Doughty Street, Great Ormond Street and round Mecklenburgh Square, with four floors, a basement kitchen and steps to the front door. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.

Yes, all year and especially in September and June. We move single rooms into halls, shared flats off Marchmont Street and boxes into summer storage. Send the hall or building name so we can check its loading slot before we book.

Yes. The porter will want a lift slot, protection on the lift walls and sight of our cover, so we send the document in advance and arrive in the window you are given. The street outside is a resident bay, so for a full move we normally advise a Camden suspension.

Early. Euston Road is a red route all day and Great Russell Street fills with museum traffic from mid-morning, so an 8am start gets the van in and the first load out before the area slows down.

Yes. We dismantle beds, wardrobes and dining tables at the old house and rebuild them at the new one, provided we agree it before the day. It helps on tight stair turns and in loft conversions. A standard bed is £90 to dismantle and rebuild and a 2-door wardrobe is £110, with a £90 minimum booking. For fitted, bespoke or fragile pieces, send a photo first.

By the hour, using the published rates. Send the room count, photos of bulky pieces, both postcodes, notes on the drive or controlled parking, and whether you want packing or dismantling. We reply with the van, crew and number of whole hours to book. Extra time beyond that is billed in 30-minute steps, mileage is charged one way and stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour, so the day brings no surprises.

  • TV cartons, picture and mirror cartons, specialist crates and extra protection are not in the bundle and are quoted separately.
