Professional Removals in Wandsworth – What We Do

We provide a full range of removal services for local, national and UK-wide moves. Whether you are heading across Wandsworth, into central London or relocating further afield, we handle the heavy lifting, logistics and protection of your belongings so you do not have to.

Our core services include:

• House removals – flats, terraced houses, maisonettes and large family homes
• Office and commercial moves – SMEs, shops, studios and professional practices
• Student moves – cost-effective moves into and out of halls or shared houses
• Part-load and small moves – single rooms, studios or a few key items
• Packing and unpacking – full or partial, with all materials supplied
• Short-term storage – ideal between tenancies, refurbishments or overseas work

Every move is tailored. We start by understanding your property, access, timings and priorities so we can allocate the right team, vehicle and equipment.

Local Removals Expertise in Wandsworth

As a Wandsworth-based company, we know the area extremely well – from Victorian terraces and mansion blocks off East Hill, to modern developments along the river and busy high-street locations near the station. This local knowledge matters on moving day.

• We plan routes to avoid peak congestion on Trinity Road, Wandsworth Bridge and key junctions.
• We understand parking restrictions and loading rules on residential streets and estates.
• We are used to tight stairs, small lifts and awkward access in older properties.

That local insight allows us to schedule appropriate time, vehicle sizes and staffing levels so your move runs to plan, not guesswork.

Who Our Removal Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Wandsworth, we support homeowners at every stage of their move. We pay particular attention to protecting valuable furnishings, art, antiques and large appliances, and we coordinate carefully with your completion and key handover times.

Renters

For renters in flats and houses, we streamline move-in and move-out days. We are used to managing tight time windows between tenancies, lift bookings and landlord requirements, ensuring both your old and new properties are left in good order.

Landlords

We work with landlords and managing agents who need a professional removal company to clear properties between tenancies, handle furnished and part-furnished lets, and move items to and from storage with minimal disruption to neighbours and other residents.

Businesses

For offices, clinics, retail units and studios, we plan moves around trading hours to minimise downtime. We handle desks, filing systems, IT equipment, display stock and archive materials with organised labelling and careful placement at the new premises.

Students

Students moving to or from Wandsworth benefit from a reliable, fully insured service at sensible prices. We help with moves between halls, shared houses and family homes, often over weekends or short notice, making sure essential items arrive safely and on time.

What Our Removals Service Includes

Items We Typically Move

We routinely move a wide variety of household and business items, including:

• Sofas, armchairs, dining tables, beds and wardrobes
• Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other white goods
• TVs, computers and home entertainment equipment
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and shelving
• Boxed personal belongings, books, clothing and kitchenware
• Outdoor items such as garden furniture, barbecues and tools (cleaned and emptied)

Items We Usually Exclude

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we cannot move, or can move only by prior arrangement:

• Hazardous materials – fuel, gas bottles, paints, solvents, chemicals
• Perishable or open food items for longer-distance moves
• Illegal items of any kind
• Livestock and pets (we can recommend specialist pet carriers)
• Heavy safes or industrial machinery without prior survey
• High-value jewellery, cash and important documents (we advise you to carry these personally)

If you are unsure about a specific item, we are happy to advise in advance so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Everything starts with a straightforward enquiry. You can call or email us with key details: current and new addresses, property size, preferred dates and any access notes. Based on this, we provide an initial estimate and suggest the right level of service for your move.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything beyond a very small move, we arrange a professional survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit. We assess volume, access, parking, any dismantling needed and special-care items. This allows us to give you a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the run-up to moving day, you can choose from:

• Full packing service – we pack everything, supply all materials and label boxes by room.
• Part packing – we handle fragile or high-value items; you pack the rest.
• Owner-packed – you pack; we supply materials if required.

We can also dismantle furniture such as beds and wardrobes and prepare appliances in line with manufacturer guidance where needed.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and banisters where necessary and begins loading. Items are wrapped, padded and secured in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We use purpose-built removal vehicles, equipped with blankets, ties and equipment for safe lifting and carrying.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new property, we unload in a structured way, placing items into the rooms you specify. If agreed in advance, we reassemble furniture and can unpack selected items to help you settle in faster. We take away our packing materials for reuse or recycling where possible, leaving your new home or office tidy.

Transparent Pricing for Removals in Wandsworth

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. The cost of your move will depend on:

• Volume of belongings and number of rooms
• Distance between properties
• Access, parking and any restrictions
• Level of packing service required
• Any additional services such as storage or disposal

After your survey, we provide a detailed written quotation outlining exactly what is included. There are no hidden fees for steps, lifts or standard waiting times, and any potential extras (such as out-of-hours work or extended waiting at key exchange) are explained clearly before you book.

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

Moving home or business with friends or a cheap man-and-van can seem attractive on cost, but it carries risks:

• Lack of insurance if something is damaged or lost
• No formal contract or agreed timings
• Limited equipment and protective materials
• Risk of injury from poor lifting technique

With Wandsworth Movers you benefit from:

• Fully insured services with clear terms and conditions
• Trained, uniformed staff used to handling heavy and fragile items
• Proper vehicles, trolleys, blankets and ties for secure transport
• Reliable timings and planning to keep your day on track

The result is a safer, more predictable moving day and better protection for your belongings and property.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate to recognised industry standards to protect you and your possessions.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to our terms.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
• Trained moving teams – staff are trained in safe lifting, packing of fragile items, and working in shared buildings and offices.

We are happy to supply confirmation of cover and discuss any specific items you are concerned about before you book.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move as if it were our own property. Floors, banisters and doorways are protected where needed, and fragile items are wrapped in appropriate materials. Heavy items are moved with the right equipment to protect both the item and the building.

Sustainability is increasingly important in our work. We:

• Reuse cartons and protective materials where they are still in good condition
• Offer collection of used boxes from local moves for reuse or recycling
• Plan routes and schedules to reduce unnecessary mileage

This approach reduces waste and helps keep our environmental impact as low as is practical, without compromising care.

Real-World Removals in Wandsworth

Moving House

From small flats near Wandsworth Town station to large homes towards Putney and Clapham, we handle moves of all sizes. We coordinate carefully with estate agents and solicitors where completion dates and key releases are time-sensitive, helping to keep a stressful day as calm and predictable as possible.

Office Relocations

We work with local businesses relocating within Wandsworth or into central London, often outside normal office hours. We can move IT equipment, archives and stock in a structured, labelled way so that your team can resume work quickly at the new premises.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves arise unexpectedly – changes in tenancy, urgent completion dates or last-minute landlord requirements. Where our schedule allows, we offer short-notice and same-week removals, applying the same professional planning and care as for longer-booked jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Wandsworth typically cost?

The cost depends on the volume of your belongings, the distance between properties, access at each address and the level of service you choose. A small flat move within Wandsworth with owner-packed boxes will cost less than a larger family home with full packing and storage. After a survey, we provide a clear, written quotation detailing what is included, so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to explain how any part of the price has been calculated.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often help with urgent or short-notice moves, including same-day, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Smaller flat or room moves are more likely to be accommodated at short notice than large house or office relocations. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with full details so we can check vehicle and crew availability and provide a realistic plan and price. We will never accept a last-minute booking if we cannot complete it safely and to our usual standards.

What insurance cover is included in your service?

Our service includes goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, and public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. As with any insurance, there are limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain in plain language before you book. For particularly high-value individual items, we may ask you to declare them in advance so we can confirm cover. We also encourage you to maintain your own household insurance, which often complements our policies during a move.

What is included in a typical removals service?

A standard removals service includes supplying a suitable vehicle and crew, careful loading of your furniture and boxes, secure transport to your new address and unloading into the rooms you specify. We protect items with blankets and straps, and we can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials, storage and disposal of unwanted items. Your written quotation will set out exactly what is included so you can see precisely what we will do on the day.

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

A professional removal company offers structured planning, trained staff, fully insured services and purpose-built vehicles. We carry proper protective equipment, use systematic packing and loading methods and provide clear written quotations and terms. Many casual man-and-van services operate without adequate insurance, training or documentation, which can leave you exposed if items are damaged or the job overruns. While man-and-van can suit very small, low-risk moves, most households and businesses find that a professional company offers greater reliability, protection and peace of mind.

How far in advance should I book my removal in Wandsworth?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially for Fridays, month-ends and busy summer periods. For most house moves, two to four weeks’ notice is sensible, and more if you require full packing or storage. We understand that exchange and completion dates can change, so we aim to be flexible where possible. If your move is urgent, it is still worth contacting us – we will always check our diary and do our best to accommodate you without compromising on safety or service quality.
