Local Removal Van Experts in Roehampton
Based in Roehampton, we know the local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. From high-rise flats off Roehampton Lane to residential streets near Richmond Park and student accommodation for the University of Roehampton, we plan each move with local knowledge in mind.
Our team schedules your removal van at times that work around school runs, traffic hotspots and loading restrictions. This reduces delays and helps keep your move on time and stress-free.
Who Our Removal Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal for house or flat moves where you want a professional team to handle the heavy lifting, protect your property and keep everything organised. We can provide one or more vans depending on the size of your home.
Renters
Perfect for studio and flat moves around Roehampton and nearby areas. We are used to tight stairwells, lifts and parking restrictions and can help you move without upsetting neighbours or your landlord.
Landlords
We support landlords needing quick, tidy removals between tenancies – from clearing unwanted furniture to setting up a property for new tenants, with fully insured vans and staff.
Businesses
Our removal vans are suitable for small office moves, shop clearances and moving stock or equipment. We plan moves to minimise downtime and can work out of hours where required.
Students
Students at Roehampton and nearby universities often use our removal van service to move into or out of halls and shared houses. We offer smaller moves at sensible prices, with the same trained team and careful handling as our larger relocations.
Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with basic details: where you are moving from and to, your preferred date, and an outline of what needs moving. We then provide a clear, no-obligation estimate and explain any options that may suit you, such as packing support or multiple vans.
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 onsite visit in Roehampton. We assess access, parking, the volume of items and any particular challenges, such as heavy furniture, narrow stairs or fragile pieces.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service. On moving day, our team protects larger items with furniture blankets and, where needed, disassembles and carefully wraps beds, wardrobes and tables. We bring tools and the right materials to keep everything secure in the van.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional team loads the removal van in a planned order so items are protected and unloaded logically at your new address. We secure everything using straps and blankets. Your belongings are then transported directly to the destination, using routes that suit the size of our vehicles and current traffic conditions.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. Where we have dismantled furniture, we can reassemble it as agreed. Our aim is to leave you with your main items ready to use and your property clean and free of packing debris.
Transparent Removal Van Pricing
We keep pricing straightforward and transparent. Quotes are usually based on a combination of:
- Volume of items and size of van(s) required
- Number of movers needed
- Travel distance between addresses
- Access difficulty (stairs, long carries, parking)
- Optional extras such as packing or materials
Before you book, you will receive a written quote outlining what is included, any possible additional charges (for example, waiting time due to key delays) and how payment works. There are no hidden fees; anything that could affect the price is discussed in advance.
Why Choose a Professional Removal Van Over DIY
Hiring a casual man-and-van or doing it yourself might look cheaper on the surface, but it carries hidden costs and risks. With Roehampton Movers you benefit from:
- Trained movers who know how to lift and carry safely, reducing the risk of injury
- Proper protection for your belongings and property
- Fully insured vehicles and goods cover
- Reliable timings and clear communication
- Correct equipment for awkward or heavy items
DIY moves often mean multiple trips, damaged items, strained backs and unexpected costs like van hire, fuel and parking fines. A professional removal van service provides a safer, more efficient and ultimately more cost-effective solution.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Every removal van operated by Roehampton Movers is covered by appropriate commercial insurance. We take our responsibilities seriously and work to high industry standards.
Goods in Transit Insurance
Your belongings are protected by goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles. This provides cover against loss or damage in line with our terms and conditions, which we are happy to explain before you book.
Public Liability Cover
We carry public liability insurance to protect you and your property while we are working on-site at both collection and delivery addresses. This is essential for reputable removals work in homes, communal buildings and business premises.
Trained Moving Teams
Our staff are not casual labourers hired on the day. They are trained movers familiar with safe lifting techniques, correct packing methods and the best way to protect furniture, floors and walls. We invest in ongoing training and equipment to maintain high standards.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your belongings with care from start to finish. Floors and banisters can be protected where needed, and furniture is wrapped or blanketed before loading. We treat your home or business premises respectfully and leave them tidy.
We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact by:
- Reusing durable packing materials where hygiene and condition allow
- Offering reusable crate options for offices
- Planning efficient routes to minimise unnecessary mileage
- Maintaining our vehicles for good fuel efficiency
Real-World Uses of Our Removal Vans
Moving House
From one-bedroom flats to family homes, our removal vans are set up for safe domestic moves. We can provide multiple vehicles and crews for larger properties and coordinate timings with your completion and key handover.
Office and Business Relocations
Small businesses in Roehampton and surrounding areas use our vans to relocate offices, move stock or deliver equipment between sites. We can work evenings or weekends to keep disruption to a minimum.

Sometimes moves cannot be planned months in advance. Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or next-day removal van bookings in Roehampton. We prioritise clear communication so you know exactly what is possible and what to expect.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Roehampton cost?
The cost of a removal van depends on the size of the move, the distance travelled, access at each property and how many movers you need. Smaller flat or student moves are often priced on an hourly rate, while larger home or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price after a survey. We provide a clear written quote before you book, outlining what is included and any potential extras such as waiting time. There are no hidden fees, and we are happy to talk through options to suit different budgets.
Can you provide a same-day or urgent removal van?
Same-day or urgent removal van bookings are sometimes possible, particularly for smaller moves in Roehampton and nearby areas. Availability depends on our schedule and the size of your move, so it is best to call us as early as you can. If we can help, we will give you a clear time window and price before confirming. For very short-notice moves we may not be able to offer all optional services, but you will still receive a professional, reliable and fully equipped removal van.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are on our removal vans, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your properties. Insurance operates under specific terms, for example relating to how items are packed and any pre-existing damage. We explain these to you in plain language before you book, and you will receive our terms and conditions with your quote. If you have particularly high-value items, let us know so we can advise on the best way to protect them.
What is included in your removal van service?
Our standard removal van service includes a suitably sized van, fuel, a trained moving team, protective blankets, trolleys and straps, plus loading, transport and unloading between your addresses. We place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, and additional movers or vehicles for larger jobs. Everything included will be listed clearly in your written quotation so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service often means a single person with a vehicle and limited equipment or insurance. Our service is a professional removals operation: trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper protective materials, planned loading, and reliable scheduling. We carry goods in transit and public liability cover, conduct surveys where needed and provide written quotes and terms. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, and gives you a clear point of contact and accountability throughout your move.
How far in advance should I book a removal van?
For most moves, we recommend booking your removal van at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a busy day such as a Friday or at month-end. This gives us time to carry out a survey, plan access and allocate the right size vehicle and team. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter notice moves where our diary allows. Even if your dates are not final, it is worth contacting us early so we can pencil you in and discuss options.
