What We Can and Cannot Move

- White goods such as fridges, freezers, washing machines and cookers
- Boxes of personal belongings, clothes, books and kitchenware
- Office furniture, filing cabinets, IT equipment and stock
- TVs, audio equipment and home entertainment systems

Items Excluded or by Special Arrangement

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you clearly during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the basic details of your move – locations, property sizes, dates and any specific requirements. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually on the same day. Where needed, we can also suggest flexible date options to help you keep costs down.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
To ensure we send the right team, vehicle and equipment, we carry out a pre-move survey. This can be done via video call or an in-person visit in Wandsworth and nearby areas. We assess access, parking, volume of goods, any dismantling required and any fragile or specialist items.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full packing service – our trained team packs everything using quality materials
- Part packing – we pack fragile items, you do the rest
- Self-packing – you pack, and we supply materials if required
On the day, we protect furniture with padded covers and wrap fragile items where necessary. We also protect floors and bannisters in both the old and new properties.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional movers load your belongings systematically, securing everything with straps and blankets. Vehicles are chosen to suit your property size and local access in Wandsworth. We drive carefully, following planned routes to avoid unnecessary delays. Throughout, we treat your belongings as if they were our own.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify. We place furniture where requested and reassemble items we dismantled, where this has been agreed in advance. Before leaving, we check that everything has been unloaded and that you are happy with the placement.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of goods to be moved
- Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
- Distance between addresses
- Level of service (with or without packing, dismantling, weekend or evening moves)
- Any special items requiring extra care or additional staff
Before you book, we explain exactly what is included so you know what you are paying for. If your requirements change, we update you on any price adjustments in advance, not on the day.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Moving yourself or using an ad-hoc man-and-van might appear cheaper, but there are important differences:
- Trained teams – we know how to lift, carry and protect items correctly, reducing the risk of damage or injury.
- Fully insured – we provide goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, which informal operators often do not.
- Proper equipment – removal blankets, straps, trolleys, covers and tools make the job safer and faster.
- Planning and reliability – confirmed bookings, written terms and punctual arrival give you peace of mind.
- Time and stress – with a professional crew, what might take you all day (or a weekend) can often be completed in a few hours.
When you factor in your time, risk of damage, potential injuries and vehicle hire costs, a professional removal service is often better value than doing it yourself.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to clear, professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or third parties during the move
- Trained moving teams – staff are trained in lifting techniques, packing methods and safe driving
- Documented terms and conditions – so you know exactly where you stand
We are happy to provide details of our insurance cover and terms on request so you can book with confidence.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Every move is carried out with care and respect for your possessions and your property. We use padded covers, floor protectors and proper wrapping to minimise the risk of knocks and scrapes.
We also aim to work in a more sustainable way by:
- Reusing strong cartons where hygiene and condition allow
- Offering loan crates as an alternative to single-use boxes, where practical
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Recycling packaging materials wherever possible
Our goal is to provide a high standard of service while keeping waste and environmental impact to a minimum.
Real-World Use Cases in Wandsworth
Moving House Within Wandsworth
Many of our customers are moving between local areas such as Earlsfield, Southfields, Battersea and Putney. We often complete these moves in a single day, including packing services where booked.
Office and Business Relocations
For businesses, we plan moves around trading hours to reduce downtime. This can include evening or weekend work, labelled crate systems and careful handling of IT equipment so your staff can get back to work quickly.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Things do not always go to plan with completion dates or tenancy changes. Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate urgent removals in Wandsworth, including same-day or next-day bookings. The more information you can give us at enquiry stage, the better we can assist.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Wandsworth cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of the property, volume of belongings, access conditions and the distance between addresses. A small flat move within Wandsworth will typically cost less than a larger house move or a long-distance relocation. Additional services such as packing, dismantling and weekend moves can affect the price. We always provide a clear, itemised quotation after discussing your requirements or completing a survey, so you know exactly what is included before you commit.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice removals in Wandsworth, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Urgent moves are more feasible for smaller properties or part loads, but we will always do our best to accommodate you. If you need an emergency move, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details so we can quickly check availability, allocate a suitable team and provide a realistic time window.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, subject to our terms and conditions. We also hold public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to buildings or third-party property. During your quotation or survey, we explain what is covered, any limits that may apply, and how to highlight particularly valuable or fragile items. If you need additional cover or have items of unusual value, we can discuss options before the moving day.
What is included in your removals service as standard?
As standard, we provide a suitable vehicle, a trained removals crew, protective blankets and equipment, loading at your current property, transport, and unloading into the rooms of your choice at your new address. We also protect key areas of the property where necessary, such as bannisters and floors. Packing services, packing materials, dismantling and reassembly, disposal of unwanted items and storage can be added if required and will be clearly listed on your quotation.
How is a professional removal service different from a basic man-and-van?
A professional removal service offers more than just transport. You get trained staff, appropriate equipment, insurance cover, proper planning, and a structured process from survey through to completion. A basic man-and-van may be fine for very small or informal moves, but they often lack insurance, written terms and sufficient manpower for larger jobs. With a professional company, you have clearer protection, predictable timings and a team used to handling heavier and fragile items safely, which reduces risk and stress.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
For a typical home move in Wandsworth, we recommend booking as soon as you know your likely dates, ideally 2–4 weeks in advance. This gives you the best choice of dates and allows time for surveys and packing preparations. However, we understand that exchange and completion dates can change at short notice. We try to remain as flexible as possible and can sometimes fit in moves with only a few days’ notice, especially during quieter periods. Always contact us to check current availability.
