Local House Removals Specialists in Roehampton
We have worked across Roehampton for years, moving clients in and out of flats, terraced houses, family homes and student accommodation. We understand the narrow streets, parking restrictions, estate access rules and building management requirements that can easily delay a move if not planned correctly.
Because we are local, we can often offer flexible time slots, quick surveys and short-notice assistance when plans change. Whether you are moving within Roehampton or to another part of London or the UK, we make the process organised and predictable.
Who Our House Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
From one-bedroom flats to large family homes, we handle complete household removals including furniture, appliances, and personal belongings. We can provide full or part packing services to save you time and reduce stress on moving day.
Renters
Moving out of a rental property often comes with strict check-out deadlines. We work to your inventory and check-out times, helping protect floors and walls so you do not risk losing your deposit. We also offer small moves for studio and one-bed flats.
Landlords
We assist landlords with void property clearances, furniture moves between properties, and preparing homes for new tenants. We can coordinate key collection and liaise with agents where needed.
Businesses
If you are moving a home-based business or small office in Roehampton, we can relocate desks, IT equipment, stock and files with careful labelling and placement at the new address.
Students
Roehampton has a large student community. We provide budget-friendly student removals for term-time moves, summer storage transfers and shared house relocations, with vans sized appropriately for smaller loads.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few key questions about your current and new properties, access, approximate inventory and preferred move dates. In many cases we can provide an initial fixed-price or clear hourly-rate estimate at this stage.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most house removals, we recommend a short survey. This can be done by video call, photos or an in-person visit in Roehampton. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, number of items, any awkward pieces, and whether you will pack yourself or need our packing service. This is how we keep our pricing transparent and accurate.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you
- Part packing – we handle fragile or bulky items; you pack the rest
- Self-pack – you pack, and we provide guidance on best practice
On or before moving day we protect furniture with blankets and covers, wrap delicate items, and prepare large pieces for safe loading.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team arrives at the agreed time, carries out a quick walk-through and then begins loading systematically. We use trolleys, straps and protective equipment to move items safely and efficiently. Everything is secured in the van to prevent movement during transit. We then travel directly to your new address, keeping you updated if there are any traffic delays.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new home, we unload room by room, following your instructions. We place furniture where you want it and reassemble agreed items. Before leaving, we walk through the property with you to check that everything has been delivered and positioned as requested.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals
We believe in clarity. Our prices are based on:
- Volume of items (size of property and inventory)
- Distance between properties
- Access challenges (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
- Level of service (self-pack, part-pack, or full packing)
- Any special requirements (pianos, heavy safes, complex furniture)
You will receive a written quotation so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges for standard moves; any potential extras are discussed and agreed in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Hiring a professional removals company like Man and a Van Roehampton offers important advantages over doing it yourself or using an unregulated service:
- Trained staff who know how to lift, carry and protect items properly
- Correct equipment: blankets, straps, trolleys and suitable vehicles
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Planned timings, clear communication and written agreements
- Reduced risk of injury to you, and less damage to your property
While DIY might seem cheaper, by the time you factor in van hire, fuel, lost time, and potential damage, a professional service is often better value and far less stressful.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We operate to clear professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are being moved
- Public liability insurance for peace of mind at both properties
- Trained moving teams who follow safe handling procedures
- Documented bookings and clear terms so everyone knows what to expect
We will explain exactly what is covered and any limits or exclusions as part of your quotation so you can make an informed decision.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every home as if it were our own. Our team uses door protectors, floor coverings and padded blankets to prevent scuffs and scratches. Fragile items are wrapped and clearly labelled so they can be handled appropriately.
We also aim to work responsibly. Where possible we re-use strong, good-quality packing materials, source recyclable materials, and plan routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage. If you have unwanted items in good condition, we can often suggest local charity shops or reuse schemes in and around Roehampton.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Roehampton cost?
The cost depends mainly on the volume of your belongings, access at each property, distance travelled and whether you choose packing services. Smaller flat moves may be charged on a clear hourly rate, while full house removals are usually quoted at a fixed price after a brief survey. This ensures you only pay for the resources actually needed. We will always provide a written quotation outlining what is included so you can compare like-for-like with other providers.
Can you do same-day or urgent house removals?
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Roehampton, particularly for smaller properties or student rooms. Availability depends on van capacity and crew on the day, so it is always best to call as early as possible if your move is urgent. Even at short notice we still carry out a quick assessment, confirm pricing in writing and ensure that insurance and resources are properly in place.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being moved in our vehicles, along with public liability cover for work carried out at both addresses. Insurance is not a substitute for good packing and careful handling, so our team is trained to minimise risk from the outset. We will explain policy limits, any excess and exclusions before you book, so you know exactly how your belongings are protected and whether you wish to arrange any additional cover.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture and boxed belongings between the agreed addresses, plus basic placement of items in your new home. We can add dismantling and reassembly of furniture, packing and provision of materials, and disposal or relocation of selected unwanted items if agreed in advance. During the survey we will confirm what you would like us to handle, what you prefer to do yourself, and list everything in your quotation so the scope is completely clear.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be fine for a few items, but full house removals benefit from a structured, professional approach. We offer trained teams, suitable vehicles, proper equipment, and formal insurance cover. We plan access and timings, provide written confirmations, and follow safe handling procedures to protect both your belongings and the properties. This level of organisation reduces the risk of damage, delays or disputes and usually proves better value when you consider the overall time, effort and potential cost of mistakes.
How far in advance should I book my house removal?
Ideally, book as soon as you have a likely move date, especially if you are completing on a property purchase or moving at busy times such as month-end or weekends. Two to four weeks’ notice is typical for larger house moves, but we regularly accommodate moves with shorter timescales. Even if your date is not fully confirmed, we can often pencil you in and adjust once your plans are final. Early booking gives you the widest choice of dates and helps keep costs predictable.
