Local Expertise in Roehampton
Being based in and around Roehampton means we know the area extremely well: from the estates off Roehampton Lane and Danebury Avenue, to the houses near Richmond Park and the blocks within easy reach of Barnes and Putney.
Our local knowledge helps with:
- Planning access and parking for larger vehicles
- Dealing with narrow streets, busy bus routes, and controlled parking zones
- Liaising with building managers and concierges where needed
- Timing moves to avoid peak traffic where possible
This practical understanding of Roehampton allows us to move you more efficiently and with less disruption.
Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Everything begins with a simple enquiry. You can call or email us with basic details: where you’re moving from and to, property size, rough moving date, and any special items. We’ll usually provide an initial estimate straight away, then refine it after a proper survey so you know exactly what’s included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
We then carry out a survey, either onsite or via video. This allows us to:
- Assess access, stairs, lifts, and parking
- Understand volumes and any fragile or heavy items
- Discuss packing options and any dismantling needed
The survey is free and no-obligation. It’s there to make sure move day runs smoothly and the quote is accurate.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer several packing services depending on your needs:
- Full packing service – our team professionally packs your entire home
- Part packing service – we pack fragile or high-value items only
- Self-pack – you pack, and we provide boxes and materials if required
Furniture that needs dismantling (such as beds, wardrobes, certain tables) is carefully taken apart and labelled ready for reassembly at your new property.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained, uniformed team arrives on time with the right size vehicles. We protect your property and belongings using:
- Protective blankets and covers
- Mattress and sofa protectors
- TV and picture protection where required
Everything is loaded methodically to minimise movement in transit. Your goods are then transported directly to your new address, unless we’ve agreed storage or staged delivery.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property we unload room by room, placing items where you want them. Any dismantled furniture is reassembled, and we’ll position larger pieces so you’re not left moving heavy items after we’ve gone. We remove our packing materials and leave the property tidy and ready for you to settle in.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Every written quote sets out:
- What’s included – vehicles, labour, packing (if chosen), materials, and insurance cover
- What’s excluded – any specialist services we’ve agreed separately
- Any assumptions – such as access, parking, and dates
House removals costs in Roehampton typically depend on:
- Property size and volume of belongings
- Distance between addresses
- Access challenges (stairs, long carries, restricted parking)
- Level of packing service required
Once agreed, we stick to the quote unless you change the scope of the move. There are no hidden extras.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
While hiring a van or using an informal man-and-van may look cheaper on paper, it often costs more in time, stress, and potential damage. With Roehampton Movers you benefit from:
- Trained staff who move heavy and fragile items safely
- Proper tools and protective equipment
- Efficient loading so fewer trips are needed
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Planned, punctual service you can rely on
We take responsibility for the move from start to finish, so you’re not relying on friends, guesswork, or unvetted operators.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Every move is fully covered by our standard goods in transit insurance, giving you peace of mind that your belongings are protected while they’re in our care. In addition, we carry public liability cover, which protects you and your property in the rare event of accidental damage.
Our moving teams are professionally trained in lifting techniques, packing, and handling fragile items. We follow clear procedures for inventory, labelling, and move-day management so that items end up where they should, in the condition you expect.
Care, Protection, and Sustainability
We treat your belongings and your property with care. That means careful route planning through your home, using floor and banister protection where required, and taking time to protect vulnerable items properly.
We also work to minimise waste and environmental impact by:
- Reusing sturdy packing materials where appropriate
- Offering crate hire as an alternative to single-use boxes
- Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
Where possible, we’ll collect and reuse boxes after your move, or advise you on local recycling options.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house removals in Roehampton cost?
The cost depends mainly on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, the distance between addresses, and how much packing help you need. A small flat move within Roehampton will naturally cost less than a large family house moving across the country. After a short discussion and a free survey, we provide a clear, fixed quote outlining exactly what’s included, so there are no surprises on the day. We’re always happy to explain how the price has been calculated.
Can you do same-day or urgent house removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can handle urgent or same-day moves in Roehampton and nearby areas. Availability depends on crew and vehicle capacity, so the earlier you contact us, the better. For last-minute moves we may suggest a streamlined service, focusing on the essentials first and, if needed, arranging a follow-up visit for non-urgent items. We’ll always be honest about what can be achieved safely and professionally within your timescales.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. All moves are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they’re being loaded, transported and unloaded. We also hold public liability insurance covering accidental damage to property. During the survey we’ll discuss any unusually high-value or delicate items so we can make sure the right level of cover and handling is in place. Our aim is to minimise risk through careful working practices, and to give you peace of mind that you’re properly protected.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard service includes a free survey, a written quote, professional moving crew, suitable vehicles, protective equipment, loading, transport, and unloading at your new address. We can add optional services such as full packing, fragile-only packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and short- or long-term storage. We always confirm what’s included in your quote so you know exactly what to expect on move day, and we’re happy to tailor the service to your specific requirements.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service usually provides transport and basic lifting only, with no guarantee of training, proper equipment, or insurance. A professional removals company like Roehampton Movers offers trained staff, planning, protective materials, fully insured cover, and structured processes for packing and handling. This reduces the risk of damage, speeds up the move, and gives you a clear point of contact if anything needs attention. For most households, the added peace of mind and efficiency easily justifies the difference in price.
How far in advance should I book my house removal?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you’re moving at month-end or during school holidays, when demand is highest. Many customers confirm their booking one to four weeks in advance. That said, we know dates can change, so we try to be as flexible as possible. If your completion date is uncertain, we can still carry out a survey and prepare a quote so we’re ready to move quickly once your plans are confirmed.
