About Us
About Highbury Movers – Your Local Area Removal Service
Highbury Movers is a dedicated local removal company serving Highbury and the surrounding area with reliable, friendly and professional moving services. From homes along Highbury Fields and streets off Highbury New Park, to apartments near Arsenal Stadium and townhouses close to Canonbury, we have become the trusted removal company in the area for families, professionals and businesses who value care, punctuality and genuine local knowledge.
Our Story as a Highbury Removal Company
Highbury Movers began over a decade ago with a simple idea: a removal company in the area that treats every move as if it were our own. Starting with just one van helping neighbours move between flats on Highbury Corner and terraced homes near Highbury Barn, we quickly grew through word of mouth from satisfied customers who appreciated our attention to detail and down-to-earth approach.
As demand for a trustworthy Highbury removal company increased, we expanded our fleet and our team, investing in better equipment and structured training so we could handle everything from top-floor walk-ups near Drayton Park to large family homes around Clissold Park and the Hackney border. Today, Highbury Movers is recognised as a reliable area removal service across Highbury, Islington, Canonbury, Finsbury Park and Stoke Newington, while still keeping the personal touch of our early days.
Years of Experience Moving Highbury
We have been operating continuously in the Highbury area for over ten years. During that time, we have completed thousands of moves along streets such as Highbury Park, Blackstock Road, Petherton Road and around the Highbury Quadrant Estate. Our team knows the local one-way systems, parking restrictions and loading bays near Upper Street, Holloway Road and around Emirates Stadium, which helps us plan moves efficiently and avoid unnecessary delays on your moving day.
This experience means we understand the particular challenges of Highbury properties: narrow staircases in Victorian conversions, basement flats off Highbury Grove, mansion blocks near Newington Green and modern developments by Finsbury Park. We bring the right equipment, the right number of movers and a realistic schedule, based on years of local removals in the area.
Environment Agency Licensed and Fully Compliant
Highbury Movers is licensed by the Environment Agency to carry and dispose of waste responsibly. This is an important part of running a professional removal company in the area, especially when clearing lofts, garages or offices and handling unwanted furniture or packaging.
Our Environment Agency licensing means that when we transport items for recycling or disposal, we do so in line with current regulations. Customers in Highbury, Islington and the surrounding neighbourhoods can be confident that their old possessions are not fly-tipped or handled irresponsibly, but processed through proper, traceable channels.
Trained, Professional Staff
Every member of the Highbury Movers team is trained in safe lifting, packing techniques, furniture protection and customer care. New staff shadow experienced movers on real jobs in Highbury and nearby streets, learning how to manoeuvre large wardrobes through tight hallways in Canonbury, protect wooden floors in homes near Highbury Fields, and secure possessions properly in the van for journeys across North London.
We conduct regular refresher training covering manual handling, vehicle loading and safe working in communal areas such as estate stairwells and shared entrances around Islington. Our team members wear identifiable workwear and treat every property with respect, from maisonettes off Gillespie Road to period homes near Stoke Newington Church Street.
Our Mission as a Local Highbury Removal Service
Our mission is to provide a dependable, honest and eco-conscious removal service for the Highbury community and the wider area. Highbury Movers aims to take the stress out of moving by combining three core principles: careful handling of belongings, transparent communication and respect for the neighbourhoods where we work.
We want each move, whether across the road from Highbury Barn to Highbury Fields or from a flat near Finsbury Park to another part of London, to feel organised, secure and well supported. Being a removal company in the area means we measure our success not only in completed jobs, but also in the trust and repeat custom we receive from local residents and businesses.
Eco-Responsibility at Highbury Movers
As a Highbury-based removal company, we are conscious of our responsibility to the local environment and the wider city. Highbury Movers actively looks for ways to reduce waste and minimise the environmental impact of each move.
We prioritise reusing packing materials where possible, offering durable crates and re-usable protection blankets instead of relying solely on single-use packaging. When we do need cardboard, we aim to use recycled boxes and encourage customers to return them for further use, particularly for repeat moves within Highbury, Canonbury and Islington.
Recycling Partnerships and Local Centres
Highbury Movers has developed partnerships with reputable recycling providers and makes use of local borough recycling centres to ensure that unwanted items are handled properly. When customers in Highbury ask us to remove old furniture, appliances or excess packaging, we route these items through authorised facilities so they can be recycled or disposed of safely.
We regularly work with the established recycling and reuse infrastructure serving the area, making sure loads are sorted and documented. This helps divert as much material as possible away from landfill and supports the wider environmental goals of the Highbury and Islington community.
Deep Community Ties in Highbury
Highbury Movers is more than just a removal company in the area; we are part of the community. Our team lives and works around Highbury, shops at local businesses near Highbury Barn, uses the paths around Highbury Fields and takes children to playgrounds in nearby parks like Clissold Park and Finsbury Park.
Over the years, we have assisted local schools, independent shops on Blackstock Road and Upper Street, and small offices based around Highbury Corner with moves, internal reshuffles and clearances. We also support community events and local initiatives whenever possible, whether that means helping move equipment, donating spare packing materials for reuse or offering flexible scheduling around local match days near Arsenal Stadium to reduce disruption.
Because we know the neighbourhood so well, we are sensitive to local concerns such as noise, parking and building access. We plan Highbury removals around busy times on key routes like Holloway Road and Highbury Park, and liaise with residents and building managers on estates and private roads to keep everything running smoothly.
