Local knowledge
Moving in Highgate: what changes the job
Highgate West Hill, Highgate Hill and Swain's Lane are steep and partly width-restricted. We choose the approach that suits the van and avoid the ones that do not.
Archway Road is the A1 red route with no stopping, so flats along it are moved from the side roads behind.
The village is split between Haringey and Camden, and a suspension comes from whichever owns your bay. We tell you which.

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. Flats are mansion blocks such as Highpoint and conversions on the hill. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
It depends on the street, because the village is split between Haringey and Camden. We tell you which council owns your bay.
Yes, by the right road. Some hills are width-restricted, so we plan the approach in advance.
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). Flats are mansion blocks such as Highpoint and conversions on the hill. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
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.

It does. For flats, parking often moves the price more than the distance does. A bay at the door is very different from a long carry across an estate or a controlled street with no loading window. Tell us about visitor bays, estate permits and how near the van can get. If a bay suspension would help, we say so early enough for you to apply to the council.
