A local driver who knows Colindale's new high-rise developments, the goods lifts off Colindale Avenue and the RAF heritage around the old aerodrome.
Colindale is the most rapidly rebuilt corner of Barnet, an NW9 district that has gone from aerodrome and depot land to a skyline of new apartment towers in barely a decade. The old RAF Hendon aerodrome heritage still anchors it, with the RAF Museum nearby, but the day-to-day reality now is high-rise living: thousands of new flats clustered around Colindale Avenue and the Northern line station, alongside the regenerating Grahame Park estate. It's a young, fast-growing area built around lifts, concierge desks and modern blocks.
The moves here lean towards the new builds: a one- or two-bed shifted between towers off Colindale Avenue, a first move into a flat near the station, a delivery carried up to an upper floor, or a clearance from a Grahame Park home. You get one vetted driver from loading bay to door, full goods-in-transit cover on the contents, and the reassurance of our 5.0 Google rating. The rate is fixed no matter which block you're in: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.
Colindale increasingly plays by high-rise rules. The main spine, Colindale Avenue, plus routes like Aerodrome Road and the Edgware Road (A5) carry heavy traffic and stretches where you can't stop, so most moves run through a building's loading bay or service entrance rather than the open kerb. Many of the newer towers require you to book a goods lift and a delivery slot with the concierge or building management in advance, and some have height-restricted underground bays.
That's exactly the access we plan for: tell us the development and we'll confirm the loading bay, lift booking and any time window before the day, then bring trolleys to move quickly from dock to door. Around Grahame Park the layout can set vehicle access back from the block, meaning a longer hand-carry we'll plan in. There's no Congestion Charge in NW9, and although Colindale is inside the Greater London ULEZ, our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's no emission surcharge. Give us the building name, floor and any concierge contact when you book.
Colindale is now dominated by new-build high-rise: one-, two- and three-bed apartments in towers with lifts, concierge desks and underground parking, plus the maisonettes and walk-ups of the regenerating Grahame Park estate. There are very few period homes here; the real work is logistics, lift-booking, dock access, long internal corridors and protecting smart communal finishes that building managers expect kept pristine.
We come equipped with trolleys and flat dollies to cover those distances, plus blankets and corner protection for the lifts and lobbies. Furniture in these flats is often modern and modular, so we'll dismantle and reassemble beds, wardrobes and sectional sofas as needed. For the estate walk-ups we hand-ball items down external stairs and dismantle anything that won't turn on the landings. Tell us the building, floor and lift situation when you book.
The Colindale moves we run most, all on one fixed rate and a single driver.

All of NW9 around Colindale: the new towers along Colindale Avenue and Aerodrome Road, the blocks near the Northern line station, and the Grahame Park estate. Wherever your apartment is in the district, it's the same driver and the same pricing.
Most newer towers use a loading bay or service entrance and require a booked goods lift and delivery slot. Tell us the building and we'll confirm the bay, lift booking and any time window with the concierge before the day, then use trolleys to move quickly from dock to door.
No. Colindale is in outer north-west London, well outside the central Congestion Charge zone, so there's no daily charge on your move. It's inside the Greater London ULEZ, but our vans are ULEZ-compliant, so no emission surcharge applies either.
Often, yes, though tower moves depend on the building's lift and loading-bay availability. We're open Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 19:00. Call 07550 145313 with your building and what's moving and we'll check both our slots and the concierge requirements.
Yes, regularly. The estate mixes walk-ups and blocks, and vehicle access is sometimes set back from the home, so we plan the closest legal stopping point and bring trolleys for the carry. We dismantle beds and wardrobes and protect everything with blankets for the move.
