Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are selling and buying, timings are often tight. We coordinate closely with you and your chain, protecting furniture, floors and fixtures so your new home is ready to move into from day one.

Renters

From first flats to family rentals, we help you move out without damage or disputes. We protect stairwells and communal areas, and can move you in or out in a single, well-organised visit.

Landlords

We assist landlords and letting agents with professional tenant changeover moves, cleared properties and delivery or removal of furniture packs, always respectful of neighbours and building rules.

Businesses

We support small and medium-sized businesses across Roehampton with reliable office relocations, internal moves, archive moves and equipment transport, usually outside core hours to reduce downtime.

Students

We regularly help students moving to and from halls or shared houses. Shared loads, smaller vehicles and flexible time slots keep costs manageable while your belongings are properly protected.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

Most household and office items are covered, including:

• Furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs, bookcases
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted), cookers
• Boxes – clothes, books, kitchenware, ornaments, personal items
• Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors, printers and audio equipment
• Office contents – desks, filing cabinets, stock and archive boxes
• Outdoor items – garden furniture, tools, barbecues (clean, empty)

Items Excluded or Needing Special Arrangement

For safety, legal and insurance reasons we normally cannot move:

• Flammable or hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals)
• Illegal items or substances
• Unboxed loose small items that could be damaged in transit
• Pets or live animals
• Cash, jewellery or very high-value items without prior agreement
• Heavy specialist items such as pianos or safes without advance notice

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, we will advise during the survey and suggest suitable alternatives where needed.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with the basics – where you are moving from and to, rough move date and property size. We provide an initial estimate and outline of how the move would work. For straightforward smaller moves, we can often confirm a fixed price immediately.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger or more complex moves we complete a short survey, either via video call or in person. We assess access, parking, stairs or lifts, volume of goods and any fragile or bulky items. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, crew size and time, and to provide a clear, written quotation.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own belongings or choose our professional packing service. We use quality boxes, tape and protective materials, and can dismantle and wrap furniture as required. Mattresses, sofas and delicate items are covered with padded protectors to keep them clean and safe.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you, and carefully loads your belongings in a logical order. Everything is secured in the vehicle and transported directly to your new property using safe, proven handling methods.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival we place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble items we took apart and position heavier pieces where you want them, so you can start settling in straight away. Before we leave, we check that nothing has been missed and that you are happy with the result.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Access and parking conditions at both ends
• Distance between properties
• Services required – such as packing, dismantling or storage runs
• Any out-of-hours or weekend requirements

You receive a clear written quote explaining exactly what is included. If your situation changes – for example, extra items or a date change – we update you in advance so you can make an informed decision.

Why Choose a Professional Removal Company Over DIY

Hiring a van and doing it all yourself can seem cheaper, but often leads to breakages, injuries and multiple journeys. A professional removal company brings:

• Experienced planning and problem-solving on the day
• Correct equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and protective covers
• Safe lifting techniques to avoid damage and personal injury
• Insurance-backed protection for your belongings
• A realistic schedule that fits around completion times and key handovers

Compared with a casual man-and-van, you benefit from trained staff, proper paperwork, punctuality and the reassurance that your move is being handled correctly from start to finish.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We protect them with:

• Goods in transit insurance – cover while your items are being moved
• Public liability cover – protection in case of accidental damage to property
• Trained moving teams – staff who know how to handle fragile and bulky items safely

We work to recognised industry standards for packing, lifting and vehicle loading, and keep our vehicles clean, tidy and well maintained. You receive written confirmation of your booking and the services agreed, so everyone knows what to expect on the day.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move as if it were our own property. That means careful protection of:

• Floors and carpets in both old and new homes
• Door frames, bannisters and communal hallways
• Delicate surfaces such as glass, polished wood and electronics

Where possible we use reusable protective covers and durable crates, and we recycle boxes and packing materials responsibly. We plan routes to minimise unnecessary mileage and combine part-loads where appropriate to reduce our environmental impact.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House in Roehampton

From family homes near Richmond Park to maisonettes and new-build flats, we manage full household moves across Roehampton and neighbouring areas, coordinating timing with estate agents and solicitors so keys and lorries line up on the day.

Office Relocation

We regularly handle small office and studio moves, often in stages to keep you working. Desks, IT equipment and files are labelled and loaded methodically so you can be up and running again as quickly as possible.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves happen faster than planned – a quick completion date, a landlord’s deadline or a last-minute contract change. When our schedule allows, we provide reliable same-day or next-day help, focusing on safe, efficient loading and clear communication throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal company in Roehampton cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your move, the distance between properties, access conditions and whether you need extra services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller flat or student moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while full house or office moves are usually a fixed price. Once we have your details and, if needed, completed a quick survey, we provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, subject to availability. Our diary is often booked in advance, but we keep some flexibility for urgent or last-minute moves, especially within Roehampton and nearby areas. If you need a same-day or next-day move, contact us as early as possible with your details. We will confirm what we can realistically achieve, give you an honest timeframe, and outline any conditions or limitations so you can plan around them with confidence.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved and public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property. These policies are designed to give you peace of mind on moving day. We will explain the key points, including any limits or exclusions, before you book. For particularly high-value items we may recommend additional cover or specific packing arrangements to ensure everything is properly protected.

What is included in your removals service as standard?

As standard, we supply a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, protective blankets and securing straps, and careful loading, transport and unloading of your belongings to the rooms you specify. We also include basic dismantling of straightforward items such as bed frames where agreed in advance. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and materials, extensive dismantling/reassembly and additional drop-off points. Your written quote will clearly list what is included for your particular move.

What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without formal insurance, surveys or written confirmation. Our service is a professional removals operation: we plan your move properly, assess access, allocate the right crew, provide insurance-backed cover and use trained staff and appropriate equipment. We focus on protecting your belongings and property, keeping to agreed times and communicating clearly. In many cases the total cost is comparable, but the level of care, organisation and accountability is significantly higher.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

For the best choice of dates, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking two to four weeks in advance once you have a likely move date. However, we understand that completion dates and contracts can change, so we try to remain as flexible as possible. If your date is not confirmed, we can pencil you in and adjust if needed. For short-notice moves, contact us as soon as you know and we will do our best to fit you in.
