At Leaways, we commit to the highest standards of moving care. Our trained professionals deliver a superior service experience, ensuring your belongings are in expert hands. Your peace of mind is our promise.
We provide removals for flats, terraced houses, bungalows and family homes throughout St Albans and the surrounding area. We ask about stairs, lifts, parking and carrying distance before move day so the appropriate crew and vehicle can be planned. Furniture dismantling and reassembly can be included where required.
We provide office and small-business removals across St Albans, including the city centre and surrounding commercial areas. Office furniture, IT equipment, files and other workplace contents can be included, with timings planned to minimise disruption to your business.
Our small-move service is suitable for students moving to or from St Albans, including those relocating between St Albans and the University of Hertfordshire campuses in nearby Hatfield. We can move boxes, suitcases, desks, small furniture and other personal belongings without requiring a full household-removal service.
We provide patient and considerate moving support for older customers, including those downsizing or moving into retirement or independent-living accommodation. Packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and careful placement of belongings at the new property can all be arranged as part of the move.
Need help with packing? Choose from a full-house pack or selected packing services for kitchens, fragile items, artwork, glassware and clothing. Our professional packers can supply the required materials and prepare your belongings for transport, with the level of packing tailored to your move.
If your new property is not ready, you're downsizing or simply need extra space, we can collect your belongings from St Albans and arrange storage. Short- and longer-term options are available, with redelivery organised when you're ready to receive your items. Overnight holding between collection and delivery can also be arranged subject to availability.

Access can vary considerably across St Albans, from older city-centre streets around Fishpool Street and St Michael's to more suburban residential areas. We ask about parking, carrying distance, stairs and property access in advance so the crew and vehicle can be planned properly.
Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance apply, subject to our Terms & Conditions. Standard liability is limited to £100 per item unless extended liability is agreed in writing before work begins. Please discuss higher-value items with us before booking.
Choose the level of packing support that suits your move, from selected fragile items or kitchen contents through to a full-house packing service. Packing materials can also be supplied where required.
Our removal crews are experienced in handling stairs, tight entrances and restricted access. If a larger item may be difficult to move through your property, let us know when requesting your quote so dismantling or access requirements can be planned in advance.
Our online Quote Calculator prices your move using the inventory, property access, distance and services you provide. Once booked, your quotation covers the agreed scope of the move. If the inventory, access requirements or requested services change, we'll explain any price adjustment before additional work is carried out wherever possible.
We can combine your removal with packing, packing materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and storage where required. This means the different stages of your move can be coordinated through one team rather than arranged with several providers.
We provide removals throughout St Albans and the AL1 and AL4 areas, including Fleetville, Marshalswick, Sopwell and St Michael's, as well as properties around Fishpool Street, London Road and Holywell Hill. Access can differ considerably between older city-centre streets and suburban properties, so we check parking and carrying distance as part of the quotation process.
St Albans Charter Market operates in the city centre on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so access around St Peter's Street can be busier on market days. If your collection or delivery address is in the city centre, let us know about parking and loading arrangements when requesting your quote.
The A414 is one of the main routes for moves into and out of St Albans, providing connections towards the M1, M25 and A1(M). The A1081 is also an important route towards Harpenden, Luton and surrounding areas. We plan the route around the actual collection and delivery addresses, vehicle requirements and expected traffic conditions.
We also provide removals in surrounding areas including Harpenden, Wheathampstead, Sandridge, Colney Heath, London Colney, Park Street, How Wood and Chiswell Green, as well as longer-distance moves across the UK.
Planning Access for Your St Albans Move — Before move day, please tell us about parking restrictions, stairs, lifts, long carrying distances or difficult entrances. This allows us to plan the appropriate crew, vehicle and equipment and reduces the risk of delays on the day.
Market-Day Access — City-centre traffic and parking can be busier on regular Charter Market days and during major local events, so access arrangements should be confirmed in advance for central St Albans properties.
Parking for Your St Albans Move — If parking is restricted outside your property, a council parking suspension may be required for certain controlled bays. St Albans City & District Council currently asks for suspension applications at least 10 days in advance. Please check this early and tell us about any restrictions when requesting your quotation.
“A great experience. I had a small job and they fitted me in. Fast efficient and friendly. Great experience from booking to end. The 2 delivery men arriving at my door step and placing my items where I wanted them can’t say enough good things. When ever I need anything moving I will definitely call them. Also there pricing beets everyone.”– Kurt (St Albans)
“Zee and Fabiano, absolutely amazing guys. Can’t thank them enough. Made it so easy. Very grateful to them.”– Okiemute Ejokpa (St Albans)

Our guide prices start from £99 for small moves and single items, from £249 for a 1-bedroom flat or small home, and from £395 for a 2-bedroom home. Larger or more complex moves are quoted individually. Your actual price depends on inventory, distance, access, parking and any packing, dismantling or storage services required.
Yes. Your removal is covered subject to our Terms & Conditions. As standard, our liability is limited to £100 per individual item, unless we have agreed extended cover with you in writing before work starts. If you have higher-value pieces, please mention them when you ask for a quote so we can advise before move day.
Yes. Flats and smaller 1–2 bedroom homes are a particular focus for Leaways. When quoting, we ask about floor level, lift access, parking and carrying distance so we can allocate the appropriate crew and vehicle.
Yes. Packing can be added for your full home or selected items, and packing materials can also be supplied. Furniture such as beds, wardrobes and tables can be dismantled and reassembled where suitable, provided the required items are included in your quotation in advance.
Tell us about any parking restrictions or difficult access when requesting your quote. Some controlled parking spaces may require a council parking bay suspension. St Albans City & District Council currently publishes parking suspensions at £30 per bay per day, plus a £25 administration fee (charged per bay type suspended), and asks for applications at least 10 days before the start date. Fee and notice rules can change, so always check the council’s current parking suspension guidance when you apply. Mention parking early so we can plan crew, vehicle and timing in your quote.
Yes, subject to availability. We can collect from St Albans, place items into storage, and redeliver when your new home is ready. If completion slips by a day, overnight holding between collection and delivery can often be arranged when we have space. Storage, overnight holding and the later delivery stage are quoted as separate parts of the job.
We recommend booking as soon as your move date is reasonably certain, particularly if you require a specific date or packing service. Short-notice moves may also be possible depending on crew and vehicle availability.
Once you're happy with your quotation, your move date can be secured with a 25% deposit, subject to availability. The remaining balance is payable on move day. Cancellation and date-change terms are set out in your booking confirmation and Terms & Conditions.
