Quick answer
How much do Brixton removals cost?
Much of Brixton sits above shopfronts along Brixton Road and Coldharbour Lane, with Victorian terraces climbing Brixton Hill and large estates either side of the railway. A job here usually means carrying furniture up stairs from a kerb where a van cannot wait.
Brixton moves often involve flats above commercial shops, Victorian street parking restrictions, and narrow stairs. Red routes on Brixton Road need careful timing.
We plan loading zones, carry routes for narrow stairs, coordinate Lambeth Council resident permits, and pack items securely for multi-story walk-ups.
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 Brixton road width and parking rules before the day.
- Bay suspensions: Bays here are run by Lambeth Council. We tell you which one to suspend and for how long, so the van is at the door.
- 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 Brixton: what changes the job
Brixton Road and Brixton Hill form the A23 red route, and the market streets around Electric Avenue are pedestrianised during the day. Our vans wait on side streets and we start before the stalls open.
Parts of the roads off Railton Road and around Loughborough Junction are blocked to through traffic by cameras. We work out the approach beforehand so the van is never turned away at a gate.
Brixton Hill is lined with big Victorian houses cut into flats, while the estates rely on lift towers and long deck walkways. Tell us which you have and we staff the job to suit.

On a nearby side street. Because Brixton Road is a red route we find the closest legal bay and quote the carry from there.
Yes, as long as we start early. The market streets close to vehicles through the day, so we load before that happens.
A small van with a driver is £55/hr, with a 2-hour minimum (£110). The same van with two people is £75/hr (2-hour minimum, £150), and a Luton with three people is £130/hr (3-hour minimum, £390). You book whole hours, and if the job overruns the extra time is billed in 30-minute steps. Mileage is charged one way, from collection to delivery, and stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour. There is no weekend, evening, bank holiday or ULEZ premium and no deposit. How long it takes depends on your items, the walk from the van at SW2, and the stairs or lifts. We plan loading zones, carry routes for narrow stairs, coordinate Lambeth Council resident permits, and pack items securely for multi-story walk-ups. Email both postcodes and some photos and we price it.
Yes. Walk-ups, conversions and lift blocks across Brixton and Clapham are all part of the job, and we staff the crew for the number of flights. Stairs cost £10 per person on the crew, per flight, for each hour at that address. A floor counts as 2 flights, the ground floor is free, and a working lift removes the charge. It is written into the quote so nothing is added on the day. Photos of the stair turns, your sofa and the parking help us see whether anything has to come apart.
By the hour at the published rates. You book whole hours, at least 2 for a small van and 3 for a Luton, and any overrun is billed in 30-minute steps. Mileage is charged one way and stairs are charged per flight. Send photos, a list of items, both postcodes, floor levels and parking notes, and we reply with the van, the crew and how many hours to book. A move towards Clapham, or anywhere else in the UK, is priced the same way.
Yes: full packing, kitchen-only packing or fragile wrapping, with materials and room labels. A one-bedroom home is £400 and a two-bedroom home £600, labour and materials included. Many people pack their clothes themselves and leave the breakables to us. Send a few photos of the rooms and we suggest the lightest option that still protects your glass, mirrors and kitchen things.
Yes. Every booking carries £10,000 goods in transit cover, with blankets and straps for furniture. Mention valuable or very fragile items before collection. If your landlord or building manager in Brixton wants proof of cover, we send it once the booking is confirmed.
Yes: sofas, wardrobes, beds, appliances, desks and Marketplace finds. If a piece might not fit the stairs or the lift, send photos and we check whether it can be dismantled or brought in another way before the day. We set it down in the room you choose where access allows. We plan loading zones, carry routes for narrow stairs, coordinate Lambeth Council resident permits, and pack items securely for multi-story walk-ups.
