* What “verified” means here: we checked public records and read the review platforms ourselves on the dates shown. We never accept a company's own words as verification, and we never let a company pay to change a verdict. The RD Score is our internal quality metric built from review substance, freshness and authenticity; it is not a rating the company can buy or influence. When claimed profiles open, companies will be able to upload documents (insurance schedules, policies) and items will move from “advertised” to “verified” automatically once parsed.

What people love about this company

We read all 17 Trustpilot reviews and all 225 Google reviews end to end, including every owner reply on both platforms:

Crews named by name (Daniel, Kris, Adam, Lukasz, Amir, Matty, Jaroslaw)Care with packing and belongingsFlexibility when chains slipStepping in after other firms failedFair, clearly itemised quotes

Reviews run at a steady pace from November 2020 to August 2026 with no suspicious clusters, and the accounts span a wide range of experience from first-time reviewers to Local Guides with hundreds of reviews. Every review on both platforms carries a company reply: warm on the praise, detailed and factual on the criticism. One reviewer describes switching from AnyVan as “night and day”.

The complaints, and the company's answers

There are exactly two negative reviews across both platforms. Here is both sides of each, verbatim. We note, we don't accuse.

Trustpilot one-star - “Bait and switch”

Customer review · 17 Aug 2026
“We did an extensive video survey of our possessions, showing everything we had in detail in addition to an in-depth written survey. This took quite a long time, as LHR wanted to see EVERYTHING. They returned a quote that seemed reasonable. After we accepted their quote, they came back with a ‘revised’ quote that was nearly double the original one. Needless to say, we won’t be using them now or ever.”
- Cole Robertson, 1-star
Company reply · 21 Aug 2026
“IMPORTANT ANSWER — ACTION REQUIRED!!! Dear Cole, We believe you have a wrong company. There are at least two companies operating in London with the same name, but we are the original London House Removals Ltd (LTD). The rest are just sole traders who unfortunately took the same name as we have and such mistakes already happened on a few occasions in the past. I ran through all the records and we could not locate you on our system, nor your name or quotation. Therefore we ask you to kindly remove this review and if we continue to see it we will have to report it to Trustpilot as false.”
- Replying on behalf of London House Removals Ltd

Google two-star - quoted hours dispute

Customer review · 28 Aug 2025
“Be warned, what they quote may not be what you need to pay! The prices they quoted was fair. They also stated it’s only pricing against 3 hours of work. However, it does not make any sense when the mover is being slow and not efficient with their time just to earn that extra 1 hour of money… Their average price, customer services means a 3 star. Inefficiency and being irresponsible for hiring old man (presumably due to costs) is why I deducted 1 star out of 3.”
- Tim Lam, 2-star · Local Guide, 104 reviews
Company reply · 22 Nov 2025
“Our quotation was plain and simple and did not promise that the job would take just 3 hours. This is what you were quoted: ‘The initial three hours of work are priced at £225 + VAT = £270 inc VAT. Each consecutive hour is charged at a rate of £70 + VAT per hour, with billing calculated in half-hour increments.’ Your job took 4 hours, JUST ONE HOUR LONGER that the base price. You had over 10 cubic meters of volume, and the collection address was on the 8th floor… this is inappropriate to discriminate by age… I hope that after reading this reply, you will kindly reflect on this and that you will remove this unjust review.”
- Kris Kazimierski, London House Removals

The Trustpilot one-star is consistent with the same-name problem documented below, which the company itself confirms has “already happened on a few occasions”. We cannot determine from the outside which firm quoted that customer. The Google two-star is a dispute about how the quote was structured, not about hidden fees: the reply publishes the terms verbatim (three hours minimum with a stated hourly rate after), and the job ran one hour over. Whether the crew's pace was reasonable we cannot judge from outside. The reply is pointed and asks for the review's removal, but it engages the facts. Item 5 in the checklist below exists because of reviews exactly like this one.

Before you book, ask for these six things

  1. The insurance schedule, not a summaryGoods in Transit and public liability, with the policy number and cover amount, valid on your moving date. Any firm can say “fully insured”; the schedule is proof.
  2. A written quote that states what is includedPacking materials, fuel, congestion and ULEZ charges, stairs, waiting time. The most common complaint in this industry is a price that grows on moving day.
  3. Deposit terms in writingAmount, when it is taken, and refund conditions. If the firm belongs to the BAR, deposits are additionally protected by their Advance Payment Guarantee.
  4. Who will actually turn upAsk directly: is this job subcontracted, and if so, to whom? The name on the van should match the name on your contract.
  5. What happens past the quoted hoursMany quotes are “2 people and a van” with a minimum charge (often 3 hours). What rate applies after that, and when does it start counting? Get it in writing before moving day.
  6. A name and number match Especially with this company: the contract name, phone number and address should match the registered details (company number 07207990, 313B Hoe Street, London E17 9BG, 020 7118 7778). See the warning box below.

Warning: 3 firms trade under this name

1
London House Removals Ltd (this listing): company number 07207990, 313B Hoe Street, E17 9BG, 020 7118 7778, website londonhouseremovals.com. Registered 2010, Google profile matches these details exactly.
2
“London House Removals”, Thornton Heath: an NGRS member at 31 Broughton Road, CR7 6AG, phone 02038 655 760, website london-houseremovals.co.uk (with a hyphen). A genuine, separate firm whose profile is easy to mistake for the one above.
3
An anonymous single-page website on londonhouseremovals.co.uk (no hyphen, different from number 2): an AI site-builder template created in December 2025 carrying no company name, phone number or legal details. Ownership unknown.

The company itself says mistaken-identity complaints “already happened on a few occasions”. Before booking anyone called London House Removals, match the phone number and the name on the contract to the details in box 1.

Memberships

We checked the public member directories of the three bodies that matter in UK removals on 22 August 2026:

BARNot a memberCode of Practice, regular inspections, Advance Payment Guarantee on deposits
NGRSNot a memberCode of Practice, quality monitoring
FIDINot a memberFAIM certification, audited international standard; mainly for overseas moves
What this means for you: as a consumer in the UK, you are always protected by the Ombudsman Scheme if a dispute with a service provider cannot be resolved directly - this applies to every removal company, regardless of membership. Trade body memberships add an extra layer: a Code of Practice to hold the company to, regular inspections, and (for BAR members) deposit protection. They are a small positive signal, not a necessity. Most UK removal firms hold no memberships, and fees run to thousands a year which smaller firms often spend on the job itself.

Frequently asked questions

Is London House Removals Ltd legit?

Yes, as far as public records show. Removal Dude independently verified 7 facts about London House Removals Ltd against outside sources: Companies House records, public review platforms and trade body directories. London House Removals Ltd appears at Companies House under company number 07207990, incorporated 30 Mar 2010. London House Removals Ltd scores 90/100 on the Removal Dude score with a verdict of Book With Confidence, last checked 22 August 2026.

Is London House Removals Ltd insured?

London House Removals Ltd advertises goods in transit insurance up to £25,000, but insurance on this listing is an advertised claim, not an independently verified fact. The UK has no public register of removals insurance, so no outside checker can confirm cover from records alone. Before booking, ask for the policy schedule itself: policy number, what it covers, the amount, valid on your moving date. Any firm can say it is fully insured; the schedule is the proof.

Is London House Removals Ltd BAR registered?

No. London House Removals Ltd is not a member of the British Association of Removers (BAR); Removal Dude checked the BAR public member directory on 22 August 2026 and found no entry. BAR membership is voluntary and most UK removal firms hold none; it adds a Code of Practice, inspections and deposit protection, so treat it as a small positive signal, not a requirement.
