Removals in North London

A North London removal company, based in Kingsbury

Sal Removals moves homes and offices across North London from our yard at 19 Uphill Drive, London NW9 0BU, in Kingsbury. The A406, the A5 and the A41 meet within a few miles of us, so Edgware, Mill Hill, Hendon, Finchley, Wembley and Harrow are short runs, and Hampstead, Archway and Highgate are a straight drive in. Most of what we do is local: a flat in one borough to a house in the next, or a family moving a few streets.

We do house and flat removals, office removals, man and van jobs, packing, storage and house clearance, with our own professionally trained team and our own branded vans. The people who survey your home are our own team, and they are the people who move it.

Parking for a removal van, borough by borough

North London is not one council, and the parking rules are where most moves go wrong. Each borough runs its own suspensions and dispensations, with its own fees and notice. These are the council figures read in September 2026; councils change them every April, so we confirm the current fee for your street before we quote.

• Barnet (Edgware, Mill Hill, Finchley, High Barnet): a bay suspension is £69.63 per bay per day plus a £171.39 admin fee, with at least 7 days notice. A dispensation for one named vehicle is £51.90 a day with 2 working days notice, and for a van that fits a bay it is the cheaper route.
• Brent (Kingsbury, Wembley): a suspension is £67 per bay per day if you apply 14 or more days ahead, with a one-off £133 extra under 14 days. On Wembley event days the stadium streets are permit-only, so we book a suspension for any move on a match or concert day.
• Harrow: the bay fee runs from £11.50 to £37 a day by area, and the admin fee is £60 with more than 10 working days notice, rising to £178 under 3 days.
• Camden (Hampstead, Belsize Park): controlled parking covers almost the whole borough, so a bay suspension is the norm and needs about 17 days notice.

Away from the stations and high roads, a lot of North London is uncontrolled. A 1930s semi with a drive in Kingsbury, Edgware or Mill Hill usually needs no permit at all. Our parking suspension guide covers each council’s process in full.

What a move looks like across North London

The housing changes from one side of North London to the other, and that sets the crew, the vans and the day.

Metroland semis in Kingsbury, Edgware, Mill Hill and Harrow. Three-bed houses with drives and bay windows, built in the 1930s. A typical move is three movers and two Lutons, loaded off the drive.

Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Finchley, High Barnet and round Archway. Narrow frontages and on-street parking, so the permit comes first. A two-bed terrace usually fits in one Luton.

Mansion blocks and converted houses in Hampstead and Belsize Park. Flats over several floors, often with no lift and steps up from the street. We plan the carry at the survey, and dismantle the large pieces to get them down the stairs when it is on your quote.

New-build blocks at Wembley Park, Colindale and round Edgware station. Concierge desks, booked goods lifts and loading bays with time slots. We book the lift and the bay with the building before the day.

When the dates do not line up

Chains slip, and completion does not always land on the day everyone planned. When you have to leave before the new place is ready, we load on the day, keep your belongings in storage and deliver to the new address when the keys come through. Our guide to what happens on completion day covers the day itself, from the van’s side.

Why people in North London book us

Rated 5.0 from 200 Google reviews, correct as of 26 October 2026. Checkatrade member. Fully insured. Upper tier registered waste carrier, CBDU469343, so we can clear what you are not taking as well.

Recycling before you move

The North London Waste Authority runs the recycling centres for Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington and Waltham Forest, and its sites are open to residents of all seven boroughs. Summers Lane in North Finchley (N12 0RF) and Regis Road in Kentish Town (NW5 3EW) take household waste by car, and vans book ahead. Brent and Harrow run their own sites, at Abbey Road in Park Royal and Forward Drive in Wealdstone. None of them take trade waste, so what we clear goes to a licensed transfer station.

Areas and services

Each of these has its own page with the local parking and housing in detail: Kingsbury, Edgware, Barnet, Finchley, Hampstead, Harrow, Wembley, Archway and Alexandra Palace. North of the border we cover Hertfordshire.

Moving house means a list of address changes as well. Our guide to changing the address on your passport is a good place to start.
