• Personal belongings – clothes, books, kitchenware, ornaments

Items We Cannot Move

For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded from our standard house removals service:

• Illegal items or anything prohibited by law

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your move details – current address, new address, dates and rough contents. We provide an initial estimate and discuss your priorities, such as timing, packing help and access issues.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

We then carry out a free survey, either by video call or in person. This allows us to:

• Assess the volume of goods and any awkward items
• Check access, parking and stairs/lift availability
• Agree what you will pack and what we will pack
• Confirm your preferred dates and times

Following the survey, you receive a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day (or the day before for larger moves), our team arrives with all necessary materials. Depending on the service chosen, we can provide:

• Full packing service – we pack your entire property
• Part packing – we pack just the fragile or high-value items
• Self-pack – we supply materials and you pack at your own pace

We label boxes clearly by room to make unloading and settling in easier.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team loads your belongings with care, using protective covers for sofas, mattresses and other key items. We use trolleys, straps and blankets to secure everything safely in the vehicle. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while in our care.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. If agreed in advance, we can reassemble beds and other flat-pack items. Before we leave, we walk through with you to ensure everything is where it should be.

Transparent and Fair Pricing

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

• Volume of items and size of the property
• Distance between addresses
• Access and parking complexity
• Level of packing and dismantling required
• Number of movers and vehicles needed

You will receive a written quote outlining what is included, so you know exactly what you are paying for. Any additional services are discussed and agreed in advance, not added on the day.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company offers clear advantages over doing it yourself or using an informal man-and-van service:

• Reduced risk of damage to your furniture, property and personal items
• Proper lifting techniques to avoid injury to you or your friends
• Specialist equipment and protective materials
• Fully insured cover for your belongings while in our care
• Reliable timings – we turn up when we say we will

With us, you get a coordinated team used to working together, following a set process that keeps your move organised from start to finish.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man with Van - Movers operates to recognised industry standards and takes your peace of mind seriously. We carry:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved
• Public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to property or third parties

Our staff are trained in safe lifting, careful handling, loading and unloading, and are experienced with fragile, bulky and awkward items. We maintain our vehicles regularly and keep them clean and well equipped.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your possessions as if they were our own. That means:

• Using padded covers for key furniture and mattresses
• Wrapping delicate items carefully and loading them securely
• Protecting floors and banisters where needed

We also take a responsible approach to sustainability. Where possible, we use reusable protective materials and encourage the return or reuse of boxes. We plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in {area} cost?

The cost of a house removal in {area} depends on the size of your property, the volume of items, distance between addresses, access conditions and whether you need packing or dismantling services. Smaller flat moves can often be completed in half a day, while larger houses may require a full day or more with a larger team. After a short survey, we provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what is included before you commit.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in {area}, depending on our schedule and the size of your job. Urgent moves usually work best for smaller properties or part loads, where we can allocate a team and vehicle quickly. For larger properties, we will still do our best to find the earliest available slot. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as soon as possible and we will explain what options we can offer.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles and under our control. We also hold public liability insurance to protect against accidental damage to property or third parties. During the survey, we will ask about any particularly high-value or unusual items so we can confirm the appropriate cover. We still handle everything with great care, but knowing there is proper insurance in place provides important peace of mind.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard service covers loading, transport and unloading of your boxed belongings and furniture between your old and new addresses. We protect key items with blankets and covers, and place furniture and boxes into the correct rooms at the new property. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and disposal of unwanted items by prior arrangement. Your written quote will clearly list what is and is not included so everything is transparent.

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

A basic man-and-van service often provides little more than transport and some lifting. Our professional removals service offers trained staff, planning, surveys, insurance, protective materials, and a structured process from first enquiry to final placement of furniture. We allocate the right-sized vehicle and team, manage access and parking, and work to agreed timescales. This reduces the risk of damage, avoids last-minute delays and gives you a properly managed move rather than a one-off trip.

How far in advance should I book my move?

For most moves in {area}, booking two to four weeks in advance is ideal, especially if you are moving on a Friday or at month end, which are popular dates. That said, we regularly help clients on shorter notice when our diary allows. Once you have a likely completion date or confirmed tenancy start, it is worth contacting us so we can pencil you in and carry out a survey. The earlier you book, the more choice you will have on times and dates.
