Who Our Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Moving to or from Roehampton, Putney, Barnes or further afield, we support homeowners with full household moves, including packing, protection of high‑value items and clear labelling so each room is set up correctly at your new property.
Renters
If you are in a rented flat or house, we understand tight stairwells, parking restrictions and inventory checks. We work carefully to avoid damage to walls and floors, helping you leave your property in good condition for your deposit to be returned.
Landlords
Landlords and letting agents use us to clear and set up properties between tenancies. We can remove unwanted furniture, move in new pieces and prepare properties quickly and efficiently, with minimal disruption to neighbours.
Businesses
Local businesses rely on our professional teams for office relocations and internal moves. We move desks, IT equipment, files and stock with a clear labelling system, helping you minimise downtime and keep trading.
Students
With Roehampton University on our doorstep, we regularly help students move between halls, shared houses and home addresses. We offer smaller, efficient moves that still benefit from a fully insured and trained removals team.

Our Step‑by‑Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with the basic details of your move: addresses, dates, size of property and any special items. We ask a few focused questions, then provide an initial estimate. Where required, we book a survey before confirming a fixed quotation.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
We carry out either a video survey or an in‑person visit in Roehampton and surrounding areas. This lets us assess access, parking, stairs, lifts and the volume of items. We then confirm a written quotation with a clear breakdown of services, so you know what is included.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our professional team arrives with all necessary materials – double‑walled boxes, tape, wrapping paper, bubble wrap and furniture covers. We can provide a full packing service, a fragile‑only service, or supply materials if you prefer to pack yourself. Furniture is protected and, where needed, dismantled for safe transport.
4. Loading & Transport
We load the vehicle methodically, securing items to prevent movement and damage in transit. Floors and doorways are protected as needed. Our modern vehicles are maintained to a high standard, and your belongings are protected by goods in transit insurance while on the road.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just the hallway. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled, position larger pieces where you want them and remove used packing materials for recycling or reuse wherever possible.
Transparent Pricing – How Our Rates Work
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of goods to be moved
- Access and complexity (stairs, long walks, parking constraints)
- Distance between properties
- Level of service – from basic loading/transport to full packing and unpacking
- Any additional services such as storage or specialist item handling
Once we have completed a survey, we provide a written quotation with no hidden charges. If your requirements change before the move, we update the quote so you always know where you stand.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company is not just about convenience; it is about risk, safety and efficiency. With DIY moves or casual man‑and‑van services, you often lack adequate insurance, proper equipment and trained staff. That can lead to damaged possessions, injuries, delays and unexpected costs.
With Roehampton Movers, you benefit from:
- Trained teams who move heavy and awkward items safely
- Purpose‑built vehicles with securing points and protective equipment
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Planned timings to keep your move on schedule
- Accountability – one point of contact throughout the process
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to clear professional standards to protect you and your belongings.
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being transported in our vehicles
- Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to property or third parties
- Trained moving teams – staff receive ongoing training in lifting, packing and handling fragile or high‑value items
- Documented procedures for claims and complaints, should anything go wrong
Full details of cover limits and terms are available on request, and we are happy to discuss any specific concerns you may have.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are bagged and fragile items are carefully packed and clearly labelled. We pay close attention to protecting floors, banisters and doorframes in both your old and new properties.
We also take a practical approach to sustainability. Wherever possible, we reuse strong cartons, collect used boxes for recycling and minimise unnecessary trips by planning routes carefully. If you wish, we can supply reusable crates for certain types of move.
Real‑World Use Cases
Moving House in Roehampton
We regularly move families between Roehampton, Putney, Barnes, Kingston and further across London. Typical house moves involve full packing, dismantling beds and wardrobes, careful handling of white goods and setting everything up at the new address so you can settle in quickly.
Office Relocation
For small offices and local practices, we plan moves outside core working hours where possible, pack files in sequence, label desks and IT equipment and ensure everything is in the right place at the new site, ready for staff to resume work.
Urgent or Short‑Notice Moves
Life does not always give much notice. When our schedule permits, we assist with urgent relocations due to tenancy changes, emergency repairs or personal circumstances. We focus on the essentials, securing key belongings first and building a clear, realistic plan around your timescale.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal companies in Roehampton usually cost?
The cost depends mainly on the size of your property, the volume of items, access and the distance between addresses. As a rough guide, a small local flat move may be a few hundred pounds, while a larger family home or longer‑distance move will cost more. Packing services, dismantling/reassembly and storage can add to the price. We always recommend a survey so we can provide an accurate, fixed quotation with no hidden fees. Your written quote will clearly show what is included so you can budget with confidence.
Can you do same‑day or urgent removals?
Same‑day or very short‑notice moves are sometimes possible, but they depend entirely on our diary and vehicle availability. If you need an urgent move in or around Roehampton, contact us as soon as you can and we will tell you honestly what we can do. In some cases, we can provide a smaller team to move essentials first, then complete the rest on a follow‑up visit. While we always prioritise safety and proper planning, we will do our best to help when circumstances are tight.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and by our public liability cover while we are working at your properties. This is different from the limited or non‑existent cover you may get with a casual man‑and‑van. Insurance does have specific terms, limits and exclusions, so we encourage you to ask for details and to check any existing home insurance you may have. Between our cover and careful handling, you have strong protection in place.
What is included in a professional removals service?
A standard removals service includes loading your belongings at the collection address, transporting them to the new property and unloading them into the rooms you specify. We protect furniture and larger items, and we handle normal dismantling of straightforward pieces such as bed frames, if agreed in advance. Optional extras include full or partial packing, provision of boxes and materials, reassembly of complex furniture, disposal of unwanted items and short‑term storage. Your quotation will state clearly which services are included so there is no ambiguity on moving day.
What is the difference between a removals company and a man‑and‑van?
A casual man‑and‑van can be suitable for very small, simple moves, but there are key differences. A professional removals company provides trained staff, proper equipment, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and a structured process. We plan access, protect your property and belongings, and provide written quotations and documentation. With informal services, you often rely on a single person, a basic vehicle and little or no insurance. For most households and businesses, especially with valuable or bulky items, a professional removals company is the safer and more reliable choice.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
We recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, particularly if you are moving on a Friday, at month‑end or during school holidays, when demand is highest. For most moves, two to four weeks’ notice is ideal, but we can often accommodate shorter notice, especially for smaller or local jobs. Early booking ensures you get your preferred date and allows time to arrange parking, packing and any special requirements. Even if your date is not fully confirmed, it is worth speaking to us so we can pencil you into the schedule.
