Removals in Wandsworth by Local Professionals

At Wandsworth Movers, we provide straightforward, carefully planned removals for homes and businesses across Wandsworth and the surrounding areas. As a local, experienced moving company, we understand the streets, parking rules and building layouts that can make or break moving day.

Professional Removals in Wandsworth

Our removals service covers everything from a small flat move to a full family home or busy office relocation. Every move is planned by an experienced coordinator and carried out by a trained, uniformed team using the right vehicles, equipment and protective materials.

We offer:

• House removals – flats, maisonettes, family homes and large properties
• Office and commercial removals – shops, studios and offices
• Student removals – term-time and end-of-tenancy moves
• Packing services – full or partial packing, including fragile items
• Furniture dismantling and reassembly where required

All work is fully planned, timed and carried out with clear communication from first enquiry to final placement of furniture.

Local Expertise in Wandsworth

Operating daily in Wandsworth means we understand local traffic patterns, controlled parking zones, building access restrictions and typical property layouts. We regularly move customers in areas such as Wandsworth Town, Earlsfield, Southfields, Putney and Battersea.

That local knowledge helps us:

• Plan the right vehicle size for your street and access
• Arrange parking or advise on permits well in advance
• Schedule moves to avoid peak traffic where possible
• Protect communal areas in blocks and mansion flats

Our aim is a calm, well-organised move with no surprises on the day.

Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of the area, we handle full home removals, including delicate items such as pianos, antiques and artwork. We can provide professional packing and protective materials to keep your possessions safe from door to door.

Renters

We regularly help tenants moving between rented flats and houses. We can work around check-in and check-out times, lift restrictions and tight stairwells, and we take care to avoid any damage that might affect your deposit.

Landlords

For landlords, we offer efficient removals when changing tenants, clearing properties or moving furniture between lets. We can coordinate directly with your tenants or letting agent where helpful.

Businesses

Our office removals team can relocate desks, IT equipment, stock and archives with minimal disruption. We can work outside of business hours or at weekends to keep your downtime as low as possible.

Students

Students in Wandsworth and nearby universities use us for simple, reliable student removals. We can move small loads between halls, shared houses and home addresses, including storage collections and deliveries.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

Our standard removals service covers most household and office contents, including:

• Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges and freezers (disconnected and emptied)
• Boxes of personal belongings, books and clothing
• Computers, printers and office equipment
• Televisions, audio equipment and small electronics
• Garage and shed contents (packed and safe to transport)

Items Usually Excluded

Certain items are excluded or need prior discussion for safety and insurance reasons. These typically include:

• Hazardous materials – paint, fuel, chemicals, gas bottles
• Illegal items or anything that breaches regulations
• Live animals and plants requiring specific care
• High-value items without prior declaration (e.g. fine art, jewellery)

If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask when you request your quote and we will confirm what is possible.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with basic information: addresses, property type, move date and rough volume of goods. We discuss your requirements and provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey where needed for accuracy.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or in person. We assess access, parking, number of rooms, any fragile or awkward items and special requirements. Based on this, we give you a clear written quotation.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you
• Part packing – we pack fragile or high-value items only
• Self-packing – we deliver boxes and packing materials for you to pack

We label boxes clearly and protect furniture with covers, blankets and appropriate wrapping.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, carries out a brief walkthrough and then loads methodically. Floors, bannisters and doors are protected where needed. Loads are secured carefully in our vehicles to prevent shifting in transit. We then transport your belongings directly to your new address, or via short-term storage if arranged.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload room by room, placing items where you want them. If booked, we dismantle and reassemble beds, frames and other furniture. Before we leave, we carry out a final check with you to ensure everything has been delivered and placed correctly.

Transparent Pricing for Removals in Wandsworth

We price each move based on:

• Volume of items to be moved
• Access at both properties (floors, lifts, parking distance)
• Travel distance and estimated time
• Level of packing service required
• Any special handling or additional services

You receive a clear written quotation outlining what is included, with no hidden extras. Any potential additional costs, such as parking charges or out-of-hours work, are discussed in advance so you can make an informed decision.

Why Choose Professional Removals Instead of DIY

Hiring a professional removals team offers several advantages over moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van service:

• Fully insured for goods in transit and public liability
• Trained staff who know how to lift, carry and load safely
• Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and covers
• Reliable, suitably sized vehicles maintained for removals work
• Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and property
• Less physical strain and stress for you and your family or staff

With a professional service, you have clear agreements, confirmed timings and defined responsibilities, rather than uncertainty on the day.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Wandsworth Movers operates to recognised industry standards and carries appropriate insurance for your peace of mind.

• Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our care and on 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, packing techniques and customer care

We document our processes and keep clear records of each move, so you always know where you stand.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Every move is carried out with care for your belongings, your property and the environment.

• Use of high-quality protective materials – covers, blankets and wraps
• Careful protection of floors, bannisters and doorways
• Reusable crates and blankets where suitable to reduce waste
• Recycling of cardboard and materials wherever possible
• Efficient route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage

We treat your home or office as if it were our own, working neatly and tidily throughout.

Common Removals Use Cases We Handle

Moving House

From studio flats to large family homes, we manage every stage of your move. We can coordinate with your completion times, key collection and parking arrangements to ensure the day runs smoothly.

Office and Business Relocations

We help businesses move within Wandsworth or further afield, often outside normal hours to keep operations running. IT equipment, files and furniture are labelled and placed so your team can get back to work quickly.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves arise unexpectedly – a sudden completion date change, a tenancy ending, or an emergency situation. Where schedules allow, we can arrange urgent removals or same-day assistance, with realistic planning so standards are maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Wandsworth cost?

The cost of a removal in Wandsworth depends mainly on the size of your move, access at each property, distance travelled and whether you need packing services. A small flat move might be completed in half a day with a small team, while a larger house or office will need more time and staff. After a brief discussion and, where appropriate, a survey, we provide a clear written quotation with everything itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

We can often help with same-day or short-notice removals, particularly for smaller moves, but it does depend on our schedule and the size of the job. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with your details, and we will confirm what is realistically achievable. We will never overpromise; if we commit to a time and service, it is because we are confident we can complete the move safely and to our usual standards.

What insurance cover do you provide?

We provide goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our care, and public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property or injury. This is in addition to our own vehicle and business insurances. During the quotation stage, we will explain the limits and conditions of cover, and you can highlight any particularly high-value or unusual items so we can agree the best way to protect them.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained moving team, loading, transport and unloading at your new property. We protect furniture and key areas of your property as we work. Optional extras include full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, supply of packing materials and short-term storage. Your written quote will state exactly what is included, so there are no surprises on the day of the move.

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

A professional removal service is structured, insured and planned around your specific move. We use the right size vehicles, proper equipment and trained staff, and we hold goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. A casual man-and-van may suit very small, low-risk moves, but often lacks formal insurance, written agreements and adequate staffing. With Wandsworth Movers, you know who is turning up, when they will arrive and what standards they work to.

How far in advance should I book my move?

We recommend booking your removal as soon as you have a likely move date, particularly if you are moving on a Friday or at the end of the month, when demand is highest. Many customers book two to four weeks in advance. However, we understand that dates can change, especially with property chains, so we keep communication open and adjust where we can. Even if your move is sooner, it is still worth contacting us – we may have availability or cancellations that can work in your favour.
