Local knowledge
Moving in Pimlico: what changes the job
The address sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, which keeps the day simpler; ULEZ still applies, but we never add a ULEZ charge.
Pimlico's streets are Westminster resident bays with short pay-and-display stays, and Vauxhall Bridge Road along the edge is a red route. For a full flat move we recommend a suspension at the door, and for a single item a timed bay a street away usually does. Send a kerb photo and we say which.
Most Pimlico homes are flats in converted terraces: a basement with its own steps down, or an upper floor up a staircase that narrows as it climbs. We size the crew from your floor and check sofas and wardrobes against the stair turn from photos.
Dolphin Square has its own service road, porters and lift bookings, while Churchill Gardens, Lillington and Longmoore Gardens are council and Peabody estates with gated courtyards and lift towers. Tell us the block and we plan the carry from the right entrance.
Pimlico is west and south of Vauxhall Bridge Road, outside the Congestion Charge boundary. If your other address is inside the zone the quote says so. ULEZ applies, but we never add a ULEZ charge.

Most flat moves use a 2-person crew at £75/hr (2-hour minimum, £150). A studio or light one-bed with a working lift stays close to that. Walk-ups, long corridors or heavy sofas add hours. Driver only is £55/hr (2-hour minimum, £110) when your boxes are packed and you mostly need the van. You book whole hours and overrun is billed in 30-minute steps. Stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour, and a working lift removes that charge. Email the floor level, lift notes, parking distance and photos. Pimlico flats are stucco conversions with no lift, Dolphin Square with porters and a service road, and estate flats with lift towers and gated courtyards.

Yes. Basement flats have their own steps down from the street and a door that is often narrower than the one above. We check large pieces against it from photos, plan the carry and bring the right number of hands.
Yes. Dolphin Square has porters, a service road and lift bookings, so we arrange the slot through the estate, use the service road and run the move to the window we are given.
No. Pimlico is outside the current boundary, which follows Vauxhall Bridge Road. If your other address is inside the zone the quote says so. ULEZ applies everywhere, but we never add a ULEZ charge.
Yes, walk-ups are among the commonest flat jobs we do. We agree the crew size before you book so it matches the stairs. Stairs are £10 per person per flight for each hour at that address (a floor counts as 2 flights), and a working lift removes the charge. It is written into the quote, so nothing is added on the day. Photos of the stairs, the sofa and any tight corners help. If something will not fit, we can take it apart or, for some sofas, hoist it (£150 to £280).

Usually the resident or building manager does, because the rules belong to the block. We tell you what to ask for: the length of the slot, the arrival window, proof of cover and notes on the loading bay. Once it is booked we plan the crew around that window. Tell us early about concierge notice and quiet hours. If the building wants paperwork, we send our cover details with the booking confirmation.
