Professional House Removals Service in Wandsworth

Our house removals service is designed to take the physical strain, risk and stress out of moving. We supply the vehicle, equipment, and trained people needed to move your belongings safely and efficiently, whether you are moving a studio flat or a large family home.

Every move includes careful handling, room-to-room placement at your new property, and optional packing services. We work to a confirmed schedule, keep you updated on the day and ensure your property and belongings are protected at each stage.

Local Expertise in Wandsworth and Surrounding Areas

Operating from Wandsworth means we know the local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. We regularly complete moves in:

• Wandsworth Town and the River Thames developments
• Earlsfield, Southfields and Putney
• Clapham Junction, Battersea and Balham
• Tooting and wider South West London

This local knowledge helps us plan vehicle access, lift use and timing to avoid unnecessary delays. Where permits or restricted access apply, we will advise you in advance so everything is ready on the day.

Who Our House Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating, we provide full house removals for all property types, from Victorian terraces to new-build apartments. We can work alongside your completion time and coordinate with estate agents or key holders when required.

Renters

We regularly help tenants move between rented properties, often within tight deadlines. We take extra care to protect walls, stairwells and communal areas, helping you avoid disputes with landlords or managing agents at check-out.

Landlords

For landlords, we offer efficient removals when clearing or part-clearing a property between tenancies, including careful removal of furniture, white goods and stored items. We can also assist with moving furnishings into newly prepared rental properties.

Businesses

Small businesses and home offices in Wandsworth use our service to move stock, equipment and office furniture between sites or into storage. We can schedule moves outside normal working hours to minimise disruption.

Students

Students moving into or out of halls and shared houses benefit from our smaller-load options. We can move boxes, bikes, desks and personal belongings safely in a single, well-planned trip.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Included in Our House Removals

We routinely move:

• Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted), cookers
• Boxes, suitcases and storage containers
• TVs, computers and home entertainment equipment
• Books, clothes, kitchenware and general household effects
• Garden furniture, tools and outdoor items
• Office furniture and equipment for home offices and small businesses

Items Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement

For safety, legal or insurance reasons, we cannot carry certain items, including:

• Flammable or hazardous materials (e.g. petrol, gas bottles, chemicals)
• Illegal items or substances
• Livestock or pets
• Open containers of paint, solvents or similar liquids
• Highly valuable items such as jewellery, cash or important documents (these are best carried by you personally)

Very large or unusual items (pianos, safes, specialist machinery) can often be moved but must be discussed in advance so we can assess access, equipment and insurance.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with your moving details: current and new address, property type, main items and preferred date. We will talk through your requirements, identify any access issues and provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey where needed.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most full house moves, we carry out a free survey, either by video call or in person. This allows us to understand volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking), any dismantling required and any fragile or high-value items. We then provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras, based on the agreed scope.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you.
• Part packing – we pack fragile items such as glassware, mirrors and artwork.
• Self-packing – you pack your own boxes; we can supply packing materials on request.

On the day, we protect furniture with covers, wrap delicate items and, where agreed, dismantle larger pieces for safe transport.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and begins loading systematically. Floors, bannisters and doors are protected as required. Items are secured in the vehicle using blankets and straps to prevent movement in transit. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new address, or to storage if arranged.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. Where we dismantled furniture, we can reassemble it as agreed. We work with you to ensure the essential items are in place first so you can start settling in quickly.

Transparent Pricing and How We Charge

Our pricing is based on a combination of factors:

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Access at both addresses (stairs, lifts, distance to parking)
• Travel distance between properties
• Level of service required (e.g. full packing, dismantling/reassembly)
• Any special handling requirements

We provide a clear, itemised quotation before you book, so you know exactly what is included. There are no surprise charges on the day as long as the job matches the agreed specification. If your circumstances change, we will revise the quote in advance and talk through the options.

Why Choose Professional Removals Instead of DIY or Man-and-Van

Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van may appear cheaper, but it often leads to extra trips, damage, injury and delays. With Wandsworth Movers you benefit from:

• Professional handling techniques to reduce the risk of damage
• Proper equipment – trolleys, ramps, protective blankets, furniture covers
• Appropriate vehicle size, avoiding multiple journeys
• Planned timing so you can coordinate keys, cleaners and handovers
• Fully insured services, giving you financial protection that informal providers cannot match

For many people, the cost difference is outweighed by the reduction in risk, effort and time off work.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously. Wandsworth Movers is:

• Fully insured with Goods in Transit cover for your items while they are being moved
• Protected by public liability insurance, covering accidental damage to property or third parties during the move
• Staffed by trained moving teams who understand safe lifting, wrapping and loading techniques

We follow industry best practice on packing, securing loads and handling fragile or bulky items. If you have particularly delicate or high-value pieces, we can discuss additional protective measures.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Every move is planned with care and respect for your property. We use padded covers for mattresses, sofas and key furniture, and can protect floors and bannisters where needed. Fragile items are wrapped and clearly labelled so they are handled correctly at every stage.

We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible, we reuse sturdy cartons, offer collection of our packing materials after your move, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. We encourage customers to recycle or donate unwanted items rather than sending them to landfill.

Real-World Moving Scenarios We Handle

Moving Home Within Wandsworth

Many of our customers move between local neighbourhoods, often with tight completion windows. We coordinate timings carefully so you can vacate your old property on time and gain access to your new home without unnecessary waiting.

Office and Home-Office Moves

From small offices to one-person consultancies, we move desks, chairs, filing and IT equipment with minimal disruption. Moves can be scheduled outside normal working hours or at weekends by arrangement.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up quickly due to changes in completion dates, landlord decisions or personal circumstances. Subject to availability, we can organise short-notice or urgent removals, providing practical advice on fast packing and priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do house removals in Wandsworth cost?

The cost of a house removal in Wandsworth depends on the volume of items, distance between properties, ease of access, and whether you require packing or dismantling services. Smaller flat moves may be completed within a few hours, while larger family homes take longer and need more staff and vehicle space. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear, fixed quotation based on your specific move, so you know the exact cost before you decide. There are no hidden extras when the agreed plan is followed.

Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?

We can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves, particularly within the local Wandsworth area, but this depends on existing bookings and crew availability. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as early as possible with your details so we can check our schedule and advise what is realistic. When we can accept an urgent booking, we will focus on the essentials: key furniture, appliances and priority boxes, and agree a practical plan that fits the time available.

What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?

Your belongings are covered by our Goods in Transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to standard terms and conditions. We also carry public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move. Our team is trained to minimise risk through proper wrapping, lifting and loading. We will explain the key points of cover before you book, and if you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss whether additional cover or specialist packing is appropriate.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, protective blankets and equipment, loading at your current address, safe transport, and unloading with placement of items into the rooms you choose. We can add optional services such as full packing, part packing of fragile items, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply of boxes and packing materials. All agreed services are listed clearly in your quotation so you know exactly what is included on the day.

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

A casual man-and-van usually provides transport and basic lifting, but may lack adequate insurance, protection materials, or the manpower needed for a full house move. Wandsworth Movers offers a structured service with professional, trained staff, planning, the right vehicle size, and fully insured cover. We assess access in advance, bring the correct equipment, and load and unload systematically to protect your belongings and property. For most household moves, this professional approach reduces risk, stress and the likelihood of damage or delay.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

Once you have a likely moving date, it is best to contact us straight away. Many customers book two to four weeks in advance, especially for Fridays and month-end dates, which are always popular. However, we understand that exchange and completion dates can change, so we try to be flexible where possible. If your move is urgent or your dates are not yet fixed, we can discuss provisional options and advise you on the best way to secure availability.
