Questions & answers
The things Barnet movers ask
Moving raises a lot of questions — more so when a border is involved. Here are the ones we hear most, answered plainly. If yours is not here, just ask.
Do you cover the whole Borough of Barnet?
We do — from Chipping Barnet at the top of the hill down through Whetstone and Finchley, across to Hendon, Golders Green and Mill Hill. If you are moving within North London, out of the borough, or abroad, Barnet is where the van starts.
How do I get a price for my move?
Tell us where you are moving from and to, and roughly what is coming with you. For most Barnet homes we can arrange a survey — a quick look in person or by video — and then send a clear, written quotation. We would rather see the job than guess at it.
Can you handle a period terrace with no lift and tight stairs?
That is a good part of what we do. Barnet has a lot of Victorian and Edwardian homes with narrow halls and steep staircases. Our crews protect the corners and bannisters, size the job to the doorway, and bring the right kit — sometimes an external lift for a mansion flat or a tall semi.
Which countries do you move Barnet households to?
Our busiest routes from Barnet are to Spain, France, Portugal, Ireland and Germany, and we move right across Europe beyond those. Every international move leaves from Barnet and is planned around the destination’s customs and access.
How long will a move to Europe take?
That depends on the route, the customs clearance and how the load is scheduled with other moves heading the same way. Rather than promise a figure we cannot keep, your written quotation includes an estimated window for your move, and we keep you posted as it firms up.
What about parking and permits on moving day?
Much of Barnet sits in controlled parking zones, and some streets are tight. We advise on suspending a bay or arranging a permit where it helps, and plan the load so the van is not blocking a school run or a narrow terrace for longer than it needs to be.
Can you store our things between homes?
Yes. Barnet chains do not always line up neatly, so we hold goods in clean, secure storage for as long as you need — a short gap between completions or a longer wait while a home abroad is readied. Everything is listed in and out.
Do you pack for us, or do we pack ourselves?
Either. Some households pack their own boxes and leave us the heavy lifting and the transport; others hand us the whole job, room by room. Fragile and valuable pieces — mirrors, art, an old piano — are wrapped and, where needed, crated to a proper standard whichever you choose.
