Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your moving details – current address, destination, property size, rough inventory and preferred dates. We discuss your requirements, access issues and any special items. Using this information, we provide a clear quotation with no hidden extras, outlining what is included and any optional services such as packing.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves or more complex properties, we recommend a survey. This can be carried out virtually via video call or as an onsite visit. We confirm parking, staircases or lift access, likely loading routes and any fragile or heavy items. The survey allows us to allocate the right size vehicle, the correct number of professional movers and realistic time estimates.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer flexible packing options:
- Full packing service – our team packs your belongings using suitable boxes and protective materials.
- Part packing – we pack breakables, artwork and delicate items while you handle the rest.
- Self-packing – you pack, and we provide guidance and, if requested, packing materials.
Furniture is protected with covers and blankets. Where necessary, we disassemble and later reassemble items such as beds and wardrobes, by prior agreement.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained crew arrives on time, confirms the inventory and plans the loading order. Floors, bannisters and doors are protected as needed. Items are carried carefully, loaded securely and strapped where appropriate to prevent movement in transit. Your goods are then transported directly to your new address in properly maintained vehicles under our goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload systematically and place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. If disassembly was carried out, we reassemble agreed items. We will not leave until you are satisfied that everything listed has been delivered and positioned as requested.
Transparent Pricing and How We Charge
Our aim is to keep pricing straightforward and fair. Costs are based on:
- Volume of items or property size
- Distance between addresses
- Access complexity (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
- Number of movers required
- Any additional services such as packing and materials
We provide a written quote before you commit, setting out what is included. Where possible, we work to a fixed price rather than open-ended hourly charges, so you can budget confidently. Any potential extra charges (for example, additional stops or storage) are discussed in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Moving yourself or relying on an informal man-and-van can appear cheaper, but often leads to increased stress, risk of damage and unexpected costs. A structured, professional removals service offers:
- Experienced handling of heavy and awkward items, reducing risk of injury
- Correct equipment: trolleys, straps, blankets and protective covers
- Proper planning to avoid delays and last-minute problems
- Documented insurance cover for your belongings
- Reliable timings to fit around key collections, tenancy deadlines and work commitments
In practice, many customers find that a professional move saves them time, disruption and potential repair or replacement costs.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Every move is supported by:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your possessions while they are in our vehicles.
- Public liability cover providing protection against accidental damage to property or third parties.
- Trained moving teams who understand safe lifting techniques, packing methods and vehicle loading.
We operate with clear terms and conditions, maintain our vehicles properly and keep our staff briefed on best practice for handling fragile, high-value and bulky items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your property and the environment are both priorities for us. We use robust moving blankets, mattress and sofa covers, and suitable packing materials to reduce the risk of knocks, scuffs or scratches to your belongings and the buildings we work in. Where possible, we reuse strong cartons and recycle materials at the end of their life. Routes are planned to minimise unnecessary mileage, and we consolidate trips when it does not compromise service quality.

Moving House
For families and individuals, we manage everything from small flats to larger homes. We coordinate with your completion time or tenancy start date, ensuring you are out of your old property on schedule and set up quickly in your new one.
Office and Business Relocations
For businesses in Roehampton, we plan moves around trading hours to reduce disruption. We can relocate desks, IT equipment, filing and light stock, labelling items so they arrive in the correct departments or workstations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals in Roehampton cost?
The cost of a removal in Roehampton depends on the volume of items, distance between addresses, access conditions and the level of service you choose. A small flat move locally will typically cost less than a full family home move across London. We usually work on a fixed-price basis after assessing your requirements, so there are no surprises on the day. To get an accurate figure, contact us with a brief description of your property, inventory and dates, and we will provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent removals in Roehampton, depending on vehicle and crew availability. If you are working to a tight deadline, the sooner you contact us, the better the chance we can allocate appropriate resources. For urgent moves, we may ask for photos or a quick video walk-through to quote swiftly and plan efficiently. While short-notice bookings can sometimes limit flexibility on times, we always aim to offer a safe, organised service rather than rushing the work.
What insurance cover do you provide?
All our removals are protected by goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to our terms. We also carry public liability cover in case of accidental damage to buildings or third-party property during the move. Our team is trained to minimise risk, but the cover provides additional reassurance. We are happy to explain the key points of our insurance before you book, and we recommend that you also check any separate home insurance policies you may hold.
What is included in your removals service?
Our standard removals service includes the vehicle, fuel, a suitable number of movers, loading, safe transport and unloading at your new address. We supply protective blankets and basic floor protection as required. Optional extras include full or part packing services, supply of boxes and materials, disassembly and reassembly of certain furniture, and additional stops for key collection or storage. Everything that is included for your specific move will be listed clearly in your written quote, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service typically provides transport and some lifting help, but may not offer structured planning, detailed inventory checks, or documented insurance cover. Our professional removals service includes trained staff, appropriate equipment, careful packing and loading methods, and a clear process from quote to completion. We risk-assess access, protect your belongings and the property, and work to agreed timings. For a full house move or business relocation, this usually results in a safer, more efficient and less stressful experience than relying on ad-hoc transport alone.
How far in advance should I book my move?
We recommend booking your Roehampton removal as soon as you have a likely moving window, especially if you are tied to a particular completion date or end of tenancy. One to three weeks’ notice is ideal for most local moves, but we can often help with shorter lead times if our schedule allows. Booking earlier gives you more choice of dates and start times and allows us to complete a proper survey if needed. However, do still contact us if your move is imminent; we will always check for any available slots.
