Quick answer
How much does house removals cost in Soho?
Whole houses are rare in Soho. The ones we move are Georgian townhouses on Meard Street and round Soho Square, tall and narrow with the kitchen in the basement. We plan a Westminster suspension, three people and stair protection, and start early while the street is still quiet.
Soho removals are flats above restaurants, post-production studios on Wardour Street and agencies on Dean Street, on a one-way grid with pedestrian streets and loading windows measured in minutes.
We plan the stop street by street from a kerb photo, send a small van that fits a loading bay, and propose an early start before deliveries and pedestrians take the grid.
Email postcodes, floor levels, parking notes and photos of bulky items. We will tell you the right van and crew before you book.
- No ULEZ charge: it is never added to your bill.
- Access: we check Soho road width and parking rules before the day.
- Bay suspensions: Bays here are run by Westminster City Council. We tell you which one to suspend and for how long, so the van is at the door.
- 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 Soho: 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.
Carnaby Street is pedestrianised, parts of Old Compton Street and the streets round Berwick Street market close to traffic by day, and the rest of the grid is one-way with timed bays. We plan the stop from a map and a kerb photo, then confirm it with the building before we quote.
Most Soho homes are flats above a bar, restaurant or shop: a street door between two shopfronts, a narrow stair and no lift. The carry is short but the stop is difficult, so we send a small van that can use a loading bay rather than a Luton that cannot.
Wardour Street, Dean Street and Broadwick Street hold post-production firms, agencies and studios moving edit suites, screens and desks between buildings. We carry screens and IT in padded crates, label to the new floor plan and work before the street wakes up or after it goes home.
Soho is quietest between 7am and 9am and after the evening rush. For most moves we propose an early start so the van is in and the first load out before deliveries, taxis and pedestrians take over. All of Soho is inside the Congestion Charge zone, and the quote says how that is handled.

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. Whole houses are rare in Soho. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
Yes, with planning. The grid is one-way with timed loading bays and some streets close to traffic by day, so we pick the bay from a map and a kerb photo and propose an early start. For most Soho moves we send a smaller van that fits a loading bay instead of a Luton.
Yes, often. A street door between two shopfronts, a narrow stair and no lift is the standard Soho flat. The carry is short and the stop is the hard part, so send a photo of the door and the kerb and we plan from there.
Yes. Screens and IT travel in padded crates, desks are dismantled and labelled to the new floor plan, and we work early morning or at the weekend when the street is clear enough to load. Proof of cover goes to the building manager with the confirmation.
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. Whole houses are rare in Soho. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
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. Whole houses are rare in Soho. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
