On most London moves, the miles are the easy bit. The stairs, the parking and the wardrobe that only just fits through the door are what eat the clock.

Choose Your Van
Medium Van
Ideal for smaller moves, furniture deliveries, flats and fewer belongings.
Large Van
Extra loading capacity for larger furniture, bigger flats and household moves.
If your move sits somewhere between two options, ring 07925 234307 and talk it through. A couple of minutes on the phone usually settles which one makes more sense.

Every booking has a 2-hour minimum. Your final price is based on the time booked.
Local removals in London are moves within the city or out to nearby areas, usually finished in a single day. Nimbus Removals prices them by the hour, from £60 to £75 depending on the van and crew, with a two-hour minimum and no hidden charges added on top.
That hourly model suits local moves. A move from one side of London to the other might only be a few miles, but the time spent loading, unloading and getting through traffic is what you actually pay for. A shorter journey doesn’t always mean a shorter day.
So the questions that matter are practical ones. How many floors? Is there a lift? Can the van stop outside? Get those answers right before you book, and you’ll have a much clearer idea of the final bill.
Four things decide most of the time on a local move. Each one is something you can plan for before the van turns up.
If you’ve just realised the sofa has to come down four flights with no lift, you’re not alone. Walk-up flats are everywhere in London, and every flight adds time at both ends. A long walk from the front door to the kerb does the same.
Mention floors, lifts and distances when you book. It’s the biggest single factor in which crew makes sense.
Narrow terraced streets lined with parked cars, permit-only bays and red routes can leave a van circling the block while the clock runs. Check both addresses a week or so before your move.
If you need a parking suspension, it’s arranged through the council, and you can find your local council on GOV.UK. If either address is on a red route, TfL explains the stopping rules so you know what to expect.
Half-packed boxes. A wardrobe still full of clothes. A drawer of loose cables nobody’s sorted. These are the things that turn a three-hour move into a five-hour one.
Pack and tape everything you can the night before, and keep a clear path to the door. Put anything you’re taking yourself in one room, so it doesn’t end up on the van by mistake.
As a rough guide, a Medium Van suits a studio or one-bed flat, and a Large Van suits two-bedroom flats and houses. With two people, the Large Van is just £5 an hour more, which costs far less than a second trip.
For the crew, one person is fine for boxes and lighter furniture. Book two for sofas, wardrobes, white goods or stairs with no lift. If one person would take four hours with a Medium Van (£240), two people finishing in three hours costs £210. The second pair of hands pays for itself.
Know your floors, parking and biggest items? That’s everything you need for an accurate price.

On a local move, most of the time goes on loading, unloading, stairs and parking rather than driving. Charging by the hour means you pay for the time your move actually takes. It also means good preparation, like being packed and having parking sorted, directly lowers your bill.
It depends on how much you’re moving, the floors at each end, parking and how ready you are. A studio with mostly boxes might fit within the two-hour minimum, while a larger home takes longer. Call Nimbus Removals on 07925 234307 with your details for a realistic estimate.
