Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your moving details: current and new addresses, property size, key dates and any special requirements. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for. Where possible, we give a fixed price rather than an open-ended hourly estimate.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done by video call or an in-person visit in Roehampton. We assess access, parking, stairs or lifts, and the volume of items to be moved. This allows us to allocate the right size vehicle, number of movers and the correct amount of time, reducing the risk of delays or extra charges on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you choose our packing service, our team arrives ahead of moving day (or early on the day) with professional boxes, wrapping paper and tape. We label everything clearly by room and content, making unpacking far easier. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can still supply quality packing materials and provide advice on how to protect fragile items and prepare furniture.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained crew arrives on time, confirms the plan with you and begins loading. Furniture is wrapped and protected, boxes are stacked safely, and we use trolleys and lifting equipment where needed. Once everything is securely loaded, we transport your belongings directly to your new home, using routes that minimise delays and vibration where practical.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. Furniture is positioned as requested, and any items we dismantled are reassembled if agreed in advance. Before leaving, we invite you to walk through and check that everything you expected has arrived and is in the right place.
Transparent House Removals Pricing
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote is based on:
- Property size and volume of belongings
- Distance between addresses
- Access issues (stairs, long walks, limited parking)
- Service level (standard move, partial or full packing, dismantling)
- Day and time (weekdays, evenings or weekends)
We explain exactly what is included: number of movers, size of van, estimated hours and any additional services. If something could affect the price – for example, last-minute changes to access – we discuss this in advance so you can make an informed decision.
Why Choose Professional House Removals Over DIY
Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, but often leads to extra stress, damage and hidden costs. A professional removals service provides:
- Experienced handling of heavy, awkward and fragile items
- Correct lifting techniques to avoid injury
- Suitable vehicles with securing points and protection
- Planned schedules that reduce time off work and disruption
- Insurance-backed protection if something goes wrong
With Roehampton Man and Van, you are not just hiring a van – you are hiring an organised, professional team focused on protecting your belongings and your property.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are being moved in our vehicles
- Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property or third parties
- Trained moving teams who understand correct packing, lifting and loading techniques
We follow industry best practice at every stage, from planning and packing through to final placement in your new home. If you have specific insurance requirements for high-value items, we can discuss options and any documentation you may need.
Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability
Every move is handled with care. We protect your belongings with furniture blankets, shrink wrap, mattress covers and floor runners where appropriate. Corners, doorways and bannisters are watched closely to minimise the risk of scuffs or knocks.
We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact by:
- Reusing strong cartons where safe and hygienic
- Offering reusable crates for some moves
- Encouraging customers to declutter and recycle before moving
- Planning efficient routes to cut unnecessary mileage
Our aim is to move your belongings *safely and responsibly*, with the least possible impact on your home and the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house removals in Roehampton cost?
The cost depends on the size of your property, the volume of items, access at each address and the distance travelled. A small flat move within Roehampton will usually cost less than a multi-bedroom house move across London. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear, written quote so you know the total in advance. This can be a fixed price for the complete move or, for very small jobs, an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. There are no hidden extras.
Can you handle same-day or urgent house removals?
We can often arrange same-day or short-notice moves, especially within Roehampton and nearby areas, but it depends on current bookings and crew availability. If you need an urgent move, contact us by phone for the quickest response. We will let you know immediately what is possible, what time we can arrive and an estimated duration. Where same-day is not feasible, we will offer the earliest available slot and advise how best to prepare so the move can be completed efficiently.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our care and being transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability insurance for additional protection. Cover is subject to policy terms and reasonable care being taken, which includes proper packing and disclosure of any particularly fragile or high-value items. We are happy to explain the cover limits and any exclusions before you book, so you can decide if you require additional specialist insurance for certain possessions.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained removals team, loading at your current address, safe transport and unloading into your new home. We place items into the rooms you specify and position large furniture as requested. Optional extras include packing, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture and disposal of unwanted items by prior arrangement. All inclusions are listed clearly in your quote so you know exactly what is and is not covered on moving day.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van often provides just a driver and a vehicle, with limited labour, protection and little or no insurance. A professional removals service like Roehampton Man and Van offers trained staff, proper equipment, planning, and insured transport. We assess access, allocate the right number of movers, protect your furniture and property, and work to an organised schedule. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs. In many cases, the overall value and peace of mind are far greater than a bare-bones alternative.
How far in advance should I book my house removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance, especially for Fridays, month-ends and peak moving seasons. However, we understand that completion dates can change, so we keep our scheduling as flexible as possible. If you are waiting on contracts or keys, you can still request a provisional date and update us as things progress. For last-minute moves, contact us as soon as you know your dates and we will do our best to accommodate you.
