Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Moving from a house in Roehampton or relocating out of the area? We handle full household removals, including furniture, white goods, garden items and boxed belongings. We can also provide disassembly and reassembly for larger pieces.

Renters

If you are moving between rented flats or houses, we offer flexible slots, smaller vehicles where access is tight, and careful protection to avoid marks or damage to walls and stairwells, helping you leave the property in good condition.

Landlords

We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clear moves, part-removals, and the careful relocation of furnished property contents. We can coordinate key collection, access, and timing around cleaning and maintenance work.

Businesses

Our business removals cover small offices, shops, studios and therapy rooms. We move desks, IT equipment, files, stock and light machinery, with careful labelling and placement so your team can get back to work quickly.

Students

For students in Roehampton, we offer cost-effective removals for term-time moves, storage runs and end-of-year clear-outs. We can combine collections from multiple addresses where required to keep costs sensible.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

We regularly move:

• Sofas, armchairs, beds and wardrobes
• Tables, chairs, bookcases and cabinets
• Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other appliances
• TVs, computers and other electronics (properly protected)
• Clothing, books, ornaments and household contents
• Office furniture, IT equipment and boxed files
• Outdoor furniture, bikes, tools and boxed garage items

Items Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement

For safety and insurance reasons, we cannot usually move:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Illegal or stolen items
• Unsecured cash, jewellery or other high-value items
• Live animals (including pets, fish tanks with water, etc.)
• Industrial machinery or items exceeding safe lifting limits

If you have particularly heavy, delicate or unusual items (such as pianos, safes or artwork), let us know in advance so we can assess and plan appropriately.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact Roehampton Man and Van by phone, email or our online form. We will ask about your current and new addresses, property type, access, preferred moving dates and the size of the move. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included and any optional extras.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger moves, we recommend a short survey. This can be done virtually via video call or onsite, depending on your preference. The survey allows us to see access, staircases, parking, and your actual volume of belongings, so we can allocate the right team, vehicle and time. This reduces the chance of overruns on move day.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer two main options: you pack, or we pack.

• Packing service: Our team brings professional materials and packs your contents securely, labelling boxes by room. We can also provide partial packing for fragile items only.
• Self-packing: If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply boxes, tape and wrapping materials in advance. We offer guidance on how to pack safely and efficiently.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the property with you and confirms the plan. We protect floors and key areas where appropriate, then carefully load items using blankets, straps and trolleys. Everything is secured in the vehicle before we set off. We use planned routes to minimise delays and keep you updated on arrival times.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload methodically, placing furniture and boxes into the correct rooms as agreed. We can reassemble items we took apart (such as bed frames and tables) and position larger pieces where you want them. Before leaving, we check you are happy with the placement and that nothing is missing or obviously damaged.

Transparent Pricing for Removals in Roehampton

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Size of the move (volume of belongings)
• Number of movers required
• Travel distance and any extra stops
• Access issues (stairs, long carries, limited parking)
• Optional services such as packing, materials and furniture assembly

For many local moves we can offer a fixed price, so you know exactly what you will pay. For smaller or more flexible jobs, we may suggest an hourly rate with a minimum booking time. Any additional charges (for example congestion or parking fees) will be explained in advance wherever possible.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals service usually saves time, reduces stress and lowers the risk of damage or injury. Our team moves heavy and awkward items every day; we know how to navigate tight staircases, protect doorways and stack vehicles safely. DIY moves often involve multiple trips, borrowed vehicles, and unplanned delays, which can be exhausting and sometimes more expensive once fuel, van hire and time off work are factored in.

Compared with a casual man-and-van, a structured removals service provides better planning, clear communication, and formal protections through insurance and written terms of service.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Roehampton Man and Van operates with proper protections in place for your peace of mind:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved and transported, subject to policy terms and conditions.
• Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property or injury during the move.
• Trained moving teams who understand safe lifting techniques, correct loading methods and how to handle fragile or valuable items.

We also maintain our vehicles regularly and provide appropriate equipment such as moving blankets, straps and trolleys to support a safe, efficient move.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings and properties with care. Furniture is wrapped and protected, and we take care to avoid scuffs and scrapes on walls, doors and floors. For fragile items, we use additional padding and secure placement within the vehicle. Our aim is to leave both your old and new properties in the same condition we found them.

Where possible, we use reusable protective materials and durable crates. We aim to minimise waste, reusing cartons where practical and recycling worn materials responsibly. Efficient route planning also helps reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.

Real-World Removals Use Cases

Moving House Within Roehampton

Many of our clients are families upsizing or downsizing locally. We coordinate dates with estate agents and completion times, ensuring a smooth move-out and move-in on the same day where required.

Office and Business Relocations

We help small businesses move between offices or retail spaces, often outside normal working hours to minimise downtime. Items are labelled clearly so workstations and stock can be set up quickly at the new site.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Occasionally, circumstances change quickly: breaks in chains, landlord decisions or last-minute opportunities. When our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day removals in Roehampton. We focus on the essentials first – key furniture and personal items – and can schedule secondary trips if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Roehampton cost?

Costs depend on the size of your property, volume of belongings, distance travelled and any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis with a minimum duration, while larger house moves are usually quoted at a fixed price after a brief survey. This approach keeps pricing fair and tailored to your situation. Contact us with a rough inventory and your addresses, and we will provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

We can often accommodate short-notice or urgent moves in Roehampton, depending on existing bookings and team availability. If you need a same-day move, call us as early as possible so we can check our schedule and see what is realistic. For urgent work, we may prioritise the essential items first and, if required, arrange a follow-up visit for any remaining belongings. While we cannot guarantee availability for every last-minute request, we will always be honest about what we can do.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance that is designed to cover your belongings while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded, subject to the policy terms. We also hold public liability cover, which protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury. We will explain the key points of our cover when you book, including any limits, exclusions and how to declare particularly high-value items. Our first priority, however, is to prevent problems in the first place through careful handling and proper packing.

What is included in a typical removals service?

A standard removals service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained moving team, loading at your current address, safe transport and unloading at your new property. We place items into the rooms you specify and can disassemble and reassemble basic furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and packing materials, and additional stops (for example storage units). All inclusions will be listed clearly in your written quote so you know exactly what is and is not covered on the day.

How is a removals service different from a basic man-and-van?

A basic man-and-van is often just transport with limited planning or protection. A structured removals service, like ours in Roehampton, includes proper assessment of your move, written quotations, insurance cover, and a coordinated team used to handling full households and offices. We bring protective materials, tools for dismantling furniture, and enough staff to move items safely. This reduces the risk of damage or injury and provides more predictable timing, which is especially important when you are working to fixed completion or handover deadlines.

How far in advance should I book my move?

Ideally, you should book your removals 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 plan, carry out any necessary survey and reserve the right team and vehicle for you. However, we understand that dates can change at short notice, particularly with property chains. If your plans move, let us know as soon as possible and we will do our best to adjust your booking or find an alternative slot.
