LOG #7719 Grade II Listed Townhouse Move
Kensington → Cotswolds

“Custom-built timber crates for oil paintings and grand piano hoisted with zero scuffs.”

The estimator spent two hours surveying tight stairwells, architectural cornicing, and our art collection before quoting. On move day, the crew laid protective floor runners within three minutes of arrival. Every crate was barcoded, loaded by weight matrix, and re-assembled in our new property by tea time.

Old Street → White City Campus

“They don’t send casual agency hands. They deploy disciplined industrial operatives.”

Relocating sensitive optical microscopes and 800 linear meters of bound research ledgers requires uncompromising organization. Ledger & Sons supplied labeled anti-static tubs, heavy-duty floor protection, and air-ride pantechnicons. Every single archive box was in numerical sequence at the destination.

“The fixed price was truly fixed. Not a single extra pound billed.”

Other removalists gave us vague estimates that left room for ‘delay charges’. Ledger sent a senior estimator, handed us a firm written contract, brought double-walled corrugated boxes, and packed our entire 3-storey house in under 7 hours. Retrieved from storage 6 months later without a speck of dust or dampness.
