Local Knowledge for Your Highgate Removal

Moving house comes with the same worries wherever you live, and here’s how we handle each one.

Will my quote hold?

You get a clear, written quote with no hidden extras, so what you’re quoted is what you pay. It follows a free survey to check exactly what’s involved, and stays fixed once agreed, with nothing added on moving day.

Will my belongings arrive safely?

Our teams take the same care with fine art and antiques, pianos and collections as they do with everyday furniture, backed by Abels’ fully insured cover on every move.

Will the crew turn up on time?

Your dedicated crew arrives on schedule on moving day. Highgate sits across three council boundaries, so we always confirm the right parking or access process for your specific street at survey stage rather than assuming.

Highgate, Street by Street

Our teams know Highgate’s hilly streets, Georgian townhouses and homes bordering Hampstead Heath and Highgate Wood inside out, including Muswell Hill and Crouch End. Beyond local house removals, our removals team also plans national and international removals from Highgate.

Excellent From Planning to Unpacking

Our move with Abels was excellent from the start of planning through to unloading the lorries into our new home. The planning consultant guided us through every decision and tailored the booking to our specific needs. The team of packers and loaders were proficient at every task and good company to spend time with over five days, treating us and each other respectfully throughout.

Phyllis Whitaker

A very calm and stress-free move

Professional, responsive, courteous and careful – we just had a very calm and stress-free move using Abels and would not hesitate to recommend them. Every interaction I had with the people in the office and the movers was positive. Thank you Abels for making what is a stressful event, moving house, a very easy day!

Kate Gallaway

Skilled, Committed and Cheerful Moving Team

I have used Abels three times in the last 12 months, to pack and move the contents of a small house into storage, to deliver from storage to a new flat, and most recently to collect and deliver a sofa bed. Each time the team has been skilled, their packing fantastic, careful, committed to high standards and always cheerful.

Highgate Removals FAQs

How much does a house move cost in Highgate?

There’s no fixed price for a house move in Highgate, since cost depends on the volume of belongings, the distance of the move and the level of service required. We’ll give you a tailored, upfront quotation with no hidden fees, rather than a flat rate in advance. Booking early also helps, since it gives us time to plan an efficient service tailored to your Highgate move.

What day is cheapest for moving house in Highgate?

Midweek moves, particularly Tuesdays and Wednesdays, tend to cost less than a Friday or weekend move. If your moving day is flexible, it’s worth asking about pricing across different days, as choosing midweek could help you save money. Moving on a quieter day also lets our transport move through Highgate’s streets more freely.

Restricted Parking and Permits for Highgate Removals

Highgate sits across Camden, Haringey and Islington, so the right restricted parking suspension process for your street depends on exactly which side of the village your property falls, and each council runs its own process and notice period. Your Relocation Consultant will confirm the right council and process for your specific street at survey stage, rather than assuming one set of rules applies across all of Highgate, and will factor in vehicle size and access to doors when planning the loading plan. This also lets us confirm the right equipment for narrow stairs or a tight parking space well before moving day.

Does Abels offer a man and van or same day removal in Highgate?

We’re a full-service removal company rather than a same day man and van outfit, but our van services can still move quickly when a job needs it, subject to availability. For a straightforward local move, ask about booking a smaller crew and vehicle to save time and costs; for a whole property, larger vehicles and additional labour keep things efficient. Whatever the scale, we’ll agree the details, moving date and van services with you well in advance so there’s no last-minute risk to how you decide to move. Whatever you choose, our team gives a reliable, no-fuss service so you know exactly what to expect on the day.

How does Abels handle fragile items and whole property waste removal in Highgate?

Fragile items such as glassware, mirrors and electricals get special handling, wrapped and boxed with the right tools and packing materials rather than left to chance during long carries down Highgate’s hilly streets and narrow staircases. We can also help clear a whole property before or after a move, including waste removal of unwanted furniture and appliances, so you’re not left managing awkward items and general waste on site yourself.

Is Abels a reputable removal company for Highgate?

Abels is a Highgate removal company and member of the British Association of Removers (BAR, member A001), holding ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 27001 certification, alongside a Royal Warrant as Removals and Storage Contractor by Appointment to His Majesty The King, first granted in 1988 and re-granted in January 2025. When comparing removal companies more generally, it’s worth checking that each one holds public liability and goods-in-transit insurance, arranges a pre-move survey to assess access and volume, and gives you at least three written quotes before you decide. Our reputation comes from consistently good service, and from making every move a genuinely stress free moving services experience from quote to unpacking.

What happens after I enquire about a Highgate removal?

Once you get in touch, we’ll arrange a pre-move survey to look at access, volume and any Highgate-specific challenges, such as which council covers your street, before putting together your tailored quotation. After you book, a dedicated move manager looks after your move, from packing and documentation through to loading day, transit, delivery and unpacking at your new address, with a check-in afterwards to make sure everything’s settled in.
