Removal Services in Roehampton by Roehampton Movers
At Roehampton Movers, we provide reliable, carefully planned removal services across Roehampton and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving homes and businesses locally and across the UK, we understand how to move your belongings safely, efficiently and with minimum disruption.
Local Removal Specialists in Roehampton
Our team knows Roehampton inside out – from residential streets around Roehampton University and Putney Heath to local estates and business premises along the A3 corridor. This local knowledge helps us plan access, parking and timings accurately, avoiding unnecessary delays on move day.
Whether you are moving a small flat, a large family home or a busy office, we tailor our removal services to the specific challenges of Roehampton properties, including tight staircases, limited parking and controlled access buildings.
Who Our Removal Services Are For
Homeowners
We regularly help homeowners move between houses and flats in and around Roehampton. From careful packing of fragile items to dismantling and reassembling furniture, our professional crews make your moving day as smooth and predictable as possible.
Renters
If you are renting, you may have strict check-out deadlines and tight access slots. We work to your schedule, protect the property during the move, and help you leave your old place in good condition to avoid unnecessary disputes with agents or landlords.
Landlords
We support landlords needing removal services for end-of-tenancy clearances, part-furnished changes or preparing a property for new tenants. We can remove unwanted furniture, move items into storage, and coordinate with cleaners or contractors where needed.
Businesses
Our commercial removal service is ideal for offices, shops and small businesses in Roehampton. We plan moves around your trading hours, protect IT equipment and furniture, and ensure everything is clearly labelled so your team can get back to work quickly.
Students
We offer cost-effective removals and small moves for students at Roehampton University and nearby institutions. From single rooms to shared flats, we move boxes, clothes, books and basic furniture between halls, private rentals and storage.
What Our Removal Services Include

Our standard removal services cover most household and office items, including:
- Furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, desks and cabinets
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers and cookers (disconnected and ready to move)
- Boxes and personal belongings – clothing, books, ornaments, kitchenware
- IT and office equipment – computers, monitors, printers and office furniture
- Artwork, mirrors and framed pictures (with appropriate protection)
- Garden furniture, tools and outdoor items (weather permitting)
What Is Normally Excluded
For safety and insurance reasons, certain items are excluded or require prior agreement:

- Illegal or prohibited goods
- Valuables such as cash, jewellery, important documents (we recommend you carry these personally)

If you have any unusual or high-value items, we will discuss them during the survey so we can plan suitable handling and protection.
Our Step-by-Step Removal Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with basic details: current address, destination, property type, and preferred moving date. We ask a few questions about access, parking and the volume of belongings. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate or arrange a survey for a more accurate quote.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
We offer onsite and virtual video surveys. A survey allows us to assess the volume of goods, access issues, parking needs and any items requiring special care. This ensures the right size vehicle, number of movers and equipment are allocated, and that the final quote is clear and transparent.
3. Packing & Preparation
We can provide a full packing service, a fragile-only packing service or supply materials if you prefer to pack yourself. On packing day, our trained team arrives with professional-grade boxes, tape, wrapping paper and protective covers. Fragile items, electronics and artwork are wrapped and boxed carefully, and furniture is protected for transport.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, we protect floors, banisters and doors where needed. Items are loaded systematically, with heavy or bulky pieces secured first. We use blankets, straps and covers to keep everything stable in transit. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new address, following the agreed schedule.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing larger items where you want them. If agreed in advance, we can dismantle and reassemble standard furniture such as beds and wardrobes. We remove our packing materials and ensure access areas are left tidy before we leave.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of goods and size of the vehicle required
- Number of movers needed and estimated time
- Distance between properties
- Access and parking complexity at each address
- Additional services such as packing, materials, dismantling/reassembly and storage
Your written quotation will set out what is included, any optional extras, and how overtime or waiting time (if needed) is charged. This allows you to budget accurately and compare like for like with other providers.
Why Choose Professional Removal Services Over DIY
Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, but often leads to extra stress, damage and delays. Our professional removal teams bring experience, correct equipment and structured planning. We know how to protect property and belongings, how to move heavy or awkward items safely, and how to manage timings so your move stays on track.
With Roehampton Movers you gain:
- Trained staff who move belongings all day, every day
- Proper vehicles with securing points, blankets and covers
- Clear written agreements and confirmed booking times
- Insurance protection for your goods and property
The result is a smoother, safer move with far less physical and mental strain.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised industry standards to protect you and your belongings throughout the move.
Goods in Transit Insurance
Your belongings are covered by goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, subject to the terms and conditions outlined in your quotation and contract. This provides financial protection in the rare event of loss or damage attributable to us.
Public Liability Cover
We maintain public liability insurance to cover accidental damage to buildings or third-party property during the course of our work. This is essential when moving items through communal areas, shared entrances or busy commercial spaces.
Trained Moving Teams
Our crews are trained in safe lifting, wrapping, loading and securing techniques. New team members work alongside experienced movers and receive ongoing guidance. We use the right equipment for each job, including trolleys, dollies, lifting straps and protective materials.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move as if we were handling our own belongings. Furniture and large items are protected with covers and blankets. Mattresses and sofas are wrapped to keep them clean. Fragile pieces are individually wrapped and clearly labelled. We take care not to mark walls, floors or doorways in either property.
Where possible, we reuse durable packing crates and recycle cardboard and packing paper. We plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use. If you would like to minimise waste, we can collect used boxes after your move for reuse or recycling, where practical.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Removal Services
Moving House in Roehampton
Families and individuals moving within Roehampton or to other parts of London rely on us for organised, low-stress house moves. We can pack your home, coordinate key collection times and work around school runs and work commitments.
Office and Business Relocations
We plan business moves around your operational needs, often working evenings or weekends to minimise downtime. Desks, chairs, filing systems and IT are labelled and moved systematically so staff can resume work quickly at the new site.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves need to happen quickly – a sudden completion date, an unexpected tenancy change, or emergency works at your property. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or short-notice removal services, scaling the crew to get you moved safely within the required timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Roehampton cost?
The cost depends on the volume of items, distance, access and any additional services such as packing or storage. Smaller flat moves within Roehampton are usually charged on a fixed price or minimum-hour basis, while larger house or office moves are quoted individually after a survey. Your written quote will break down what is included so you can compare it clearly with other companies. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges, such as waiting time or parking costs, are explained in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or short-notice removal services in Roehampton and nearby areas. Availability will depend on the size of the move, the distance involved and whether packing is required. For urgent moves, we focus on the essentials: protecting key items, loading safely and getting you relocated on time. It is always best to call us as early as possible so we can confirm availability and provide a realistic plan and price for the urgent move.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care and vehicles, subject to policy terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to buildings or third-party property. During your quotation, we will explain the level of cover, any exclusions, and the process for reporting damage should anything go wrong. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend notifying your home or business insurer, or arranging additional cover for complete peace of mind.
What is included in a standard removals service?
A standard removal service includes supplying a suitable vehicle, a team of movers, protective equipment, loading at your old address, safe transport and unloading into your new property. We protect furniture, handle normal dismantling where agreed, and place items into the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing services, packing materials, complex furniture assembly, storage and disposal of unwanted items. Your quote will list exactly what is included so you know what to expect on move day and can add or remove options to suit your budget.
How is a professional removal company different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, low-risk moves, but they often lack adequate insurance, written terms and trained staff. As a professional removal company, we provide proper surveys, detailed quotes, planned schedules, trained crews and full protective equipment. Our vehicles are fit for purpose, with securing points and covers to prevent damage. You also benefit from goods in transit and public liability insurance. The overall result is greater reliability, accountability and protection for both your belongings and the properties involved.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
For most home and office moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have a firm date – ideally two to four weeks in advance, and longer during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer holidays. Early booking gives you a better choice of dates and helps us plan resources effectively. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change at short notice, so we always try to accommodate late bookings where possible. Contact us to check availability for your preferred moving window.
