Seven things, in a town that runs from a Victorian villa on a permit street to an interwar semi with a driveway. Everything below is surveyed before it is priced.
Two Finchleys, two kinds of day.
Victorian and Edwardian villas and terraces through East Finchley and Church End; interwar and post-war semis with driveways through North Finchley and Woodside Park. Same volume, genuinely different lengths of day.

The substantial villas of N2 and N3 — tall rooms, original boards, a staircase with a turn, a cellar below and frequently a loft conversion above. Surveyed rather than estimated.
Read more →Procedure, then physics.
Mansion blocks with goods lifts and booking sheets, villa conversions whose staircase now serves three households, and purpose-built stock near the stations.
Read more →A room, a collection, one heavy thing.
Two people and a smaller vehicle, booked by the job — including dealer and auction collections, which north London generates a great many of.
Read more →Wrapped, inventoried, racked indoors.
Containerised rather than self-store. North-London chains run long and a lot of the period stock wants work before anyone can properly live in it.
Read more →Cases, not blankets.
Veneer and inlay, marble tops, gilt, large mirrors and framed work turn up constantly on this stock. Identified at survey, cased or crated, and declared so cover is confirmed in writing before you book.
France, Spain, Italy and Portugal.
Route-pair framed from Finchley, with export wrapping specified for the longer road and the customs file built from the same inventory the crew works to.
Read more →Four things move the number: how much is going, the access at both ends, how much packing you want done, and how far it travels. Not the season, not how urgent it sounds, not what somebody else quoted.
That also makes quotes comparable. If you are weighing us against another firm, check both have measured the same volume and assume the same packing depth — most of the difference between two prices lives there.
Unsure which you need? Describe it on the quote form. Questions covers what comes up next, and coverage shows where we work.
Send both addresses and a sense of what is coming. We survey — at the property or by video — then put a clear quote in writing, with what is included and what would change it.
