Prices
What piano & fragile item removals in Islington costs
Our rates are the same in Islington as everywhere else we work, and they are never changed by postcode.
Specialist handling for pianos, antiques, fine art and anything else where the replacement cost is the whole problem.
This is priced for the item and the access rather than from a table: tell us what it is, the floors at each end and where the van can stop, and your quote arrives in writing within 24 hours.
To get an itemised quote, send us both addresses, the floor and lift situation at each, where the van can stop, and what the job involves. Your quote arrives in writing within 24 hours.
The service
Piano & Fragile Item Removals with AFS
Some items are not a question of weight but of consequence. Pianos, antique furniture and framed art are wrapped, braced and moved as their own job within the job.
Goods in Transit cover applies to these items exactly as it does to the rest of the load — they are not treated as an exclusion because they are valuable.

Reserving space outside the property: Islington Council
For moving home, Islington says it needs at least 14 days' notice to process a parking suspension in time. A suspension changes the restrictions at the chosen spot so that only permitted vehicles can park or work there.

ULEZ covers every London borough
The Ultra Low Emission Zone has covered all London boroughs since 29 August 2023. A van that does not meet the ULEZ emissions standard is charged for each day it is driven inside the zone, so ask whichever company you book which vehicle will be used and check it with TfL's vehicle checker. AFS vans meet the ULEZ standard, so no ULEZ charge is added to an AFS quote.

Simon NewburyVerified Google review“We had originally booked a local firm for our move, but due to a last minute exchange and insane demand for movers, none were available. AFS had a 3-man crew available at short notice who were brilliant and hardworking.”
Drew HarveyVerified Google review“Booking was straightforward and AFS confirmed a few days before. The team turned up on time and were friendly and efficient. They packed up, drove to the delivery address and unpacked again, all with no drama or fuss.”
Alin NeculaVerified Google review“We had a slightly complicated move, with our belongings shipped from London to France. AFS Removals team (led by Kim and Lee) were absolutely wonderful. They followed up on every aspect of the move to each country and stayed in touch throughout.”
