Quick answer
How much do Clapham removals cost?
Clapham means shared flats in Victorian conversions around the Common, terraces in the Old Town and Abbeville Village, and a High Street that is red route from one end to the other. Expect upper floors, awkward stair turns and plenty of other people moving on the very same weekend.
Clapham removals navigate Victorian flat conversions, narrow hallway stair turns, and busy red routes around Clapham Common. Residential CPZs are strictly enforced.
We pre-arrange Lambeth or Wandsworth parking permits, lay carpet runners for shared hallways, dismantle large sofas, and plan carries carefully.
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 Clapham road width and parking rules before the day.
- Bay suspensions: Bays here are run by Lambeth Council (Wandsworth Council on the Battersea side). 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 Clapham: what changes the job
No stopping is allowed on Clapham High Street or the South Circular round the Common, so we work from the residential streets, which are controlled on weekdays.
Clapham has an unusually high share of rented flat-shares and tenancies end together at month-end. Those Saturdays fill first, so enquire early.
The Common is the border between Lambeth and Wandsworth. Whichever authority owns your bay issues any suspension, and we tell you which it is.

Often, though not always. Send a photo of the sofa and the stair turn. If it will not go up we can remove feet or arms, or quote a window hoist instead.
As soon as you have a date. The final weekend of the month is the busiest of all in SW4.
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 SW4, and the stairs or lifts. We pre-arrange Lambeth or Wandsworth parking permits, lay carpet runners for shared hallways, dismantle large sofas, and plan carries carefully. Email both postcodes and some photos and we price it.
Yes. Walk-ups, conversions and lift blocks across Clapham and Brixton 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 Brixton, 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 Clapham 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 pre-arrange Lambeth or Wandsworth parking permits, lay carpet runners for shared hallways, dismantle large sofas, and plan carries carefully.
