With over 35 years' experience, we handle properties of all sizes using purpose-built vehicles and trained staff. Our process minimises disruption while ensuring complete inventory safety through padded wrapping and secure loading techniques.
International Removals
Our worldwide network facilitates seamless overseas relocations to any destination. We manage full-service international moves including customs documentation, export packing, and door-to-door delivery. Specialised crates meet ISPM-15 standards for fragile items and valuable collections. Clients benefit from single-point coordination covering sea freight, air transport, and destination logistics.
Storage Solutions
We offer short and long-term storage in North London's purpose-built facility. Items are housed in ISPM-15 compliant wooden containers with 24/7 security monitoring. Climate-controlled vaults protect sensitive possessions, while flexible access arrangements accommodate changing requirements. Our 25,000 sq ft warehouse provides scalable solutions for household goods, office equipment, and specialist collections.
Office Removals
Our business relocation service minimises operational disruption during office moves. We implement phased logistics plans, IT equipment handling, and furniture reassembly protocols. Dedicated project managers coordinate after-hours work to maintain business continuity. Secure packing materials protect electronics and documents, with inventory tracking systems ensuring complete accountability during large-scale corporate relocations.
Mobile Storage Units
Our delivery and collection service eliminates self-storage inconvenience. We provide free packing boxes directly to clients' homes, then collect and transport filled containers to our secure facility. This solution benefits home sellers needing temporary storage during property chains, allowing vacant possession while maintaining possession of personal items until permanent relocation.

People often say that moving house is the most stressful day of their lives. That wasn't even close to our experience. What absolute legends the guys were : Curtis, Ovid, Lee & George. And a special shout-out to Simon, who managed to pack our entire lives into boxes in 7hrs. Timely, diligent, relaxed, professional, helpful. I could go on and on. A super smooth couple of days, from start to finish. Thank you, Ants!

Ants Removals helped with our recent house move and I cannot recommend them highly enough! They packed the entire contents of our flat, kept our things safe in storage for two months before delivering them to our new home. Our possessions included about 10 Lego models, all of which survived the move and storage intact - testament to the care and skill that Ants Removals takes!

Absolutely SUPERB service! From start to finish Ants removals have been professional, friendly, flexible and have made our house move a much easier experience. The very friendly Max visited us to quote for our move and was brilliant and he provided us with an extremely reasonable quote the following day. He reassured us that his team would make things as smooth as possible before and on the day.and he was right. Lee, Ovi and Curtis were the absolute dream team!
Nothing was too much trouble on move day, they were efficient, respectful and rose to the challenge of removing first floor sash windows in order to get the wardrobes out! They worked tirelessly all day, helping us to pack those last few items and dismantling bits of furniture that we hadn't realised needed to be done. We were over an hour behind them arriving at the new property due to the cat going missing and then getting stuck in traffic.they were still smiling and said that it was no trouble at all.
This is the first house move that we have done and with 2 toddlers it was not an easy task but the whole team at Ants Removaks made our experience a lot less stress free. I would highly recommend this company to anybody!

Ants helped us move home a couple of weeks ago. We received an excellent service and they were a pleasure to deal with throughout. The team were helpful, friendly and packed everything carefully. They made the entire process feel calm and stress-free. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and highly recommend their service.

Amazing team. A stressful experience made so much easier with the guys from Ants. They were so polite, helpful, fast working, friendly and protected everything really well on the packing up. On the unloading they were literally like Ants, unpacked in record time, again so respectful of our property. Thank you Ants for moving us for the third time
