Who Our House Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re selling and buying, you’ll often have a fixed completion time. We coordinate closely with you and your agent, making sure we’re ready to move as soon as keys are released. We can also arrange professional packing the day before to minimise disruption.
Renters
For tenants moving between rentals, we offer flexible move dates and smaller vehicles ideal for flats and maisonettes. We can schedule moves around end-of-tenancy cleans and inventory checks, helping you leave the property in good order.
Landlords
Landlords and managing agents use us to clear properties between tenancies, remove old furniture and set up new furnishings. We handle items carefully and can coordinate access with building managers or concierge services.
Businesses
We support small businesses relocating offices or home-based workspaces. Our team can move desks, filing, IT equipment and boxed stock, keeping downtime to a minimum with out-of-hours or weekend moves where required.
Students
Students moving to or from Wimbledon and nearby universities benefit from our smaller-scale student removals – ideal for boxed belongings, clothes, books and a few pieces of furniture, all at sensible, transparent prices.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
As a rule, most everyday household items are covered by our house removals service, including:
- Furniture: sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs, cabinets
- Appliances: washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected)
- Personal belongings: clothes, books, toys, ornaments
- Electronics: TVs, computers, audio equipment
- Garden items: garden furniture, tools, bikes, barbecues (clean and empty)
Items We Cannot Move
For safety and insurance reasons, there are some items we’re unable to transport, including:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or anything not legally in your possession
- Live animals (including pets – please use specialist pet transport)
- Perishable or unsealed food for long-distance moves
- Valuables such as cash, jewellery and important documents – we recommend you carry these personally
If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’re happy to advise in advance so there are no surprises on moving day.
Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or via our website. We’ll ask a few key questions about your current property, your new address, dates and the volume of items. For straightforward moves, we can often provide an initial estimate right away, then confirm once we’ve completed a survey.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
To ensure accurate pricing and the right resources, we carry out a survey – either via video call or an in-person visit. We review access, parking, stairs or lifts, and any particularly heavy, fragile or valuable items. This allows us to plan vehicle size, number of movers and estimated timings properly.
3. Packing & Preparation
Depending on your preference, you can choose from:
- Full packing service – we pack everything, supply all boxes and materials
- Part packing service – we handle fragile or high-value items only
- Self-packing – you pack, and we supply materials if required
On packing day, we use quality boxes, bubble wrap and protective covers for mattresses, sofas and TVs, labelling everything clearly for easy placement at your new home.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the property with you and confirms the plan. We protect floors and banisters where necessary, then load systematically, securing items in the vehicle with straps and blankets. Your belongings are transported directly to your new property, with scheduled rest breaks only on longer journeys.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload room by room, placing boxes and furniture where you ask. If previously agreed, we’ll reassemble furniture such as beds and wardrobes. Before we leave, we check that everything has been unloaded, positioned correctly and that you’re happy with the result.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote is based on:
- Volume of goods (or property size as a guide)
- Access and parking at both addresses
- Distance between properties
- Number of movers and vehicles required
- Any additional services (packing, materials, dismantling/reassembly)
You’ll receive a written quotation outlining exactly what’s included. Any potential extra costs – such as additional waiting time if keys are delayed – are explained clearly in advance, so you can budget with confidence.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Hiring a professional removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using an informal man-and-van service:
- Fully insured – your belongings are covered by goods in transit insurance
- Trained teams – staff know how to lift safely and protect items properly
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and protective covers
- Time saving – a coordinated team can complete in hours what might take you all day
- Reduced risk – to both your belongings and the properties you are moving between
While DIY might appear cheaper at first glance, the risk of damage, personal injury or multiple van trips can easily outweigh any savings. A structured, professional service offers peace of mind and a smoother moving day.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and work to high professional standards on every move.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property or injury
- Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in safe handling, lifting techniques and how to protect delicate items
- Clean, well-maintained vehicles – regularly checked and equipped for removals work
Full details of cover levels and terms are available on request, and we’re happy to explain how they apply to your move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings and both properties with care and respect. Padding, blankets and covers are used as standard, and we take time to plan the best route through the property to avoid scuffs and scrapes.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible, we:
- Reuse sturdy cartons and packing materials
- Offer reusable crate options for some moves
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce fuel use
- Encourage customers to recycle or donate unwanted items rather than binning them
Our aim is to move you safely, while minimising waste and unnecessary journeys.
Real-World Moving Scenarios We Handle
Full House Moves
From two-bedroom flats to five-bedroom houses, we manage every stage: surveys, packing, move coordination and furniture reassembly. This is ideal for families and homeowners wanting as little disruption as possible.
Office and Home-Office Relocations
We help local businesses and self-employed professionals move offices, studios and workshops. We can handle documents, computer equipment and workstations, with careful labelling to ensure a quick setup at the new site.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves come up unexpectedly – a change of tenancy, a sale progressing faster than expected, or a last-minute clearance. Where availability allows, we offer same-day or short-notice moves in Wimbledon and nearby areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house removals in Wimbledon cost?
The cost of house removals in Wimbledon depends mainly on the volume of your belongings, access at each property, distance travelled and any extra services such as packing or furniture assembly. Smaller flat moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while larger home moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. We always provide a clear written estimate after a survey so you know exactly what to expect, and we’re happy to talk through options to fit your budget and priorities.
Can you do same-day or urgent removals?
We can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Wimbledon, particularly for smaller properties or partial loads, depending on vehicle and crew availability. If you need to move at short notice, it’s best to call us directly so we can check the schedule and suggest practical options. Even for urgent moves, we still carry out a quick assessment of your requirements to ensure we send the right size vehicle, enough movers and any necessary equipment to complete the job safely.
What insurance cover do you provide?
All moves carried out by Wimbledon Man and Van are protected by goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they’re in our vehicles, and public liability cover, which offers protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property or injury. Cover applies when items are packed and handled in line with our guidelines. We can provide a summary of cover levels and exclusions on request, and we’re happy to explain how this works for fragile or particularly high-value items before your move.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard house removals service includes loading your belongings from your current property, transporting them in our vehicles and unloading them into your new home, placing items into the rooms you specify. We supply moving blankets and protection for furniture as standard. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and short-term storage through trusted partners. Your written quote will clearly list what is included, along with any agreed additional services for your particular move.
What is the difference between your removals service and a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van is generally a transport-only option, often without formal insurance, written quotes or trained staff. Our removals service is a structured, professional operation: we survey in advance, plan resources, provide fully insured vehicles, use protective materials and send a trained team sized to your move. We also offer packing, dismantling and reassembly as needed. This approach reduces risk, speeds up the process and provides clear accountability should anything unexpected occur during your move.
How far in advance should I book my move?
For the best choice of dates, especially at busy times of year or at month-end, we recommend booking your Wimbledon house removal at least two to three weeks in advance. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change, so we aim to be as flexible as possible. If your dates are not confirmed, we can provisionally hold a slot and adjust once you have clarity. For last-minute moves, contact us directly and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
