As a local, experienced removals company, we handle everything from small flat moves to full family homes and busy office relocations, with a strong focus on protection, organisation and clear communication.

Professional Removals Service in Roehampton

We offer a complete removals service designed to make moving day as straightforward as possible. Our professional crews arrive on time, protect your property and belongings, and work efficiently so you can settle into your new place sooner.

Whether you are moving across Roehampton, elsewhere in London, or further across the UK, we can plan and manage the whole move, including packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and placement of items in the correct rooms.

Local Expertise in Roehampton

Operating daily in Roehampton means we understand local roads, parking restrictions, estate layouts and building access. This local knowledge allows us to:

• Plan vehicle sizes and access for Roehampton estates, terraces and mansion blocks
• Advise on loading times and lift access in flats and managed blocks
• Coordinate with building management where required
• Minimise disruption to neighbours and traffic

Our team is used to handling moves around Roehampton University, Putney Heath, the A3 and surrounding residential streets, helping to avoid delays and last-minute issues.

Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

We support homeowners moving between houses or into Roehampton from elsewhere. Our team can manage larger moves involving multiple bedrooms, outbuildings, garages and garden items, ensuring everything is inventoried and protected.

Renters

For tenants moving between flats or houses, we provide efficient moves that respect check-in and check-out times, deposit inspections and building rules. We take extra care with stairwells, lifts and communal areas to keep landlords and agents satisfied.

Landlords

Landlords use our removals service to clear or refurnish properties between tenancies. We can remove existing furniture, bring in new items, and coordinate access with letting agents or contractors.

Businesses

We manage small to medium office and commercial moves in and around Roehampton. This includes packing IT equipment, files and furniture, clearly labelling everything for straightforward setup at your new premises, and working outside core hours where needed.

Students

Students at Roehampton University often need smaller, flexible removals. We offer compact moves for rooms, studios and shared flats, with the option of short-term storage if you are between tenancies or heading home for the holidays.

What Our Removals Service Includes

Our standard removals service can be tailored, but typically includes:

• Loading & transport of household and office goods
• Protective blankets and securing of items in the vehicle
• Dismantling and reassembly of standard furniture (beds, wardrobes, tables) where required
• Placement of items into the correct rooms at your new property
• Optional packing service with professional packing materials
• Optional supply of boxes, tape, paper and wardrobe cartons for self-packing

Common Items We Move

• Furniture: beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs, storage units
• Appliances: washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected in advance)
• Personal belongings: clothes, books, ornaments, artwork
• Electronics: TVs, computers, audio equipment, office hardware
• Office items: desks, filing cabinets, stock and archives

Items We Generally Exclude

For safety, insurance and legal reasons, we normally cannot carry:

• Hazardous or flammable materials (fuel, gas cylinders, some chemicals)
• Illegal items or goods of unknown origin
• Live animals or pets (specialist pet transport is recommended)
• High-value jewellery, cash or important documents (keep these with you)
• Very large or specialist items without prior agreement (e.g. grand pianos, safes)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during your survey so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: current and new address, property type, number of rooms, and preferred moving dates. We provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey for a more accurate quote. All pricing is clearly explained with no hidden extras.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

We carry out a survey either via video call or in person. This allows us to assess access, parking, stairs or lifts, volume of items and any special requirements. The survey ensures we send the right size vehicle, the right number of trained movers and the correct equipment.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the days before your move, you can either pack yourself using materials we supply, or choose our full packing service. Our team carefully wraps fragile items, secures pictures and mirrors, and clearly labels boxes by room and contents to make unpacking easier.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our crew arrives at the agreed time, protects floors and banisters where needed, and methodically loads the vehicle. Items are wrapped and secured in transit to minimise movement. We then transport your goods directly to your new address, following the planned route.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload and place furniture and boxes in the correct rooms, following your directions. We reassemble any agreed items and complete a final walk-through with you to confirm everything has been delivered and positioned as planned.

Transparent Pricing for Removals in Roehampton

We price our removals based on a clear set of factors:

• Volume of goods (usually measured in cubic feet or by survey)
• Access and parking at both addresses
• Distance between properties
• Level of service: loading only, or including packing and materials
• Any special items requiring extra labour or equipment

You receive a written quote explaining what is included, any optional extras, and how overtime or waiting time (if relevant) is handled. This straightforward approach helps you budget with confidence.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van

While hiring a van or using a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, it often leads to extra trips, damage, delays and stress. A professional removals company provides:

• Trained staff who know how to lift, carry and load safely
• Purpose-built vehicles with securing points and protective equipment
• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
• Planning and coordination to avoid last-minute problems
• Reliable, scheduled arrival times and written terms

Using experienced movers reduces the risk of injury, damage to property and unexpected costs that often arise with DIY moves.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Roehampton Movers operates to recognised industry standards. We carry:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved
• Public liability cover for peace of mind at both addresses
• Trained moving teams who follow safe handling procedures

We explain our cover levels and terms before you book, so you understand exactly how your items are protected. Additional cover can sometimes be arranged for particularly high-value or specialist items by prior agreement.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move as if it were our own. Our crews use floor protectors, transit blankets and wrapping to prevent scuffs and scratches. Fragile and high-value items receive extra attention, with careful packing and clear labelling.

We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible we:

• Reuse sturdy boxes and materials for multiple moves
• Offer collection and recycling of unwanted cardboard after your move
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

This approach helps to protect both your belongings and the local environment.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House in Roehampton

Families and couples rely on us when upsizing or downsizing within the area. We coordinate with estate agents, completion times and key handovers, ensuring your belongings are loaded and ready to go when you receive your keys.

Office Relocation

Local businesses use our service to move offices with minimal downtime. We can work early mornings, evenings or weekends, moving desks, IT equipment and stock in a structured sequence so your team can get back to work quickly.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Life does not always run to schedule. When you have a sudden change of plan or an urgent move, we do our best to offer short-notice slots, subject to availability. Our organised approach helps bring order to what can otherwise be a stressful situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Roehampton typically cost?

The cost depends on the volume of your belongings, access at each property, distance travelled and whether you need packing included. A small flat move within Roehampton will usually be less than a larger family home move across London. After a brief discussion, we can often provide a ballpark figure, then confirm a fixed quote following a survey. All charges are explained in writing so you know exactly what is covered, and we are always happy to talk through ways to keep costs within your budget.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often arrange same-day or short-notice removals, especially outside peak periods, but it depends on existing bookings and crew availability. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with your addresses, dates and rough contents list. We will check our schedule and offer the most practical solution, which may involve a smaller crew or split loads. Even for urgent moves, we still follow a structured process to protect your belongings and keep everything organised.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your properties. During your booking we will outline the key terms, including any single-item value limits and what is required for a claim. For especially high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional cover or a more detailed inventory. Our aim is to give you clear, straightforward information so you know how your possessions are safeguarded.

What is included in a typical removals service?

A standard removals service covers loading your boxed and prepared items, transporting them securely to your new address, and unloading them into the correct rooms. We use protective blankets, straps and covers as needed. Many customers also add services such as furniture dismantling and reassembly, professional packing, and supply of boxes and materials. Your written quote will specify exactly what is included so you can see whether you are paying for labour only, or for a more comprehensive, full-service move.

How is a professional removals company different from a man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service is usually just transport and a driver, with limited protection, planning or cover if something goes wrong. A professional removals company provides trained staff, suitable vehicles, insurance, written terms and a structured process. We survey the job in advance, bring the right equipment, and take responsibility for safe handling and loading. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs. For anything more than the smallest move, using a professional team is usually better value and far less stressful in practice.

How far in advance should I book my move?

Ideally, you should book your removals as soon as you know your likely moving week, especially if you are completing on a property purchase. Two to four weeks’ notice is common, but we can often accommodate shorter timescales, particularly midweek or outside peak seasons. Once your date is confirmed, we finalise the details and schedule your crew and vehicle. Early booking gives you better choice of dates and time slots, and allows time to arrange packing materials, parking suspensions and any building permissions if required.
