Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Movers Roehampton by phone or online with basic details of your move: addresses, dates, property sizes and any special items. We will provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you share, explaining what is included so there are no surprises.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a survey. This can be a video call walk-through or an onsite visit in Roehampton. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, number of items, and any awkward pieces that may need special handling, ensuring we send the right size removal van and team.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Packing service – Our trained team packs your belongings using high-quality materials, labelling boxes clearly for easy unpacking.
- Part-packing – We focus on fragile and high-value items while you pack the rest.
- Self-packing – You pack everything, and we provide only loading and transport.
We also offer dismantling and reassembly of standard furniture where required.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time with a fully equipped removal van. We protect floors and doorways where needed, then load your items systematically, securing them with straps and blankets. Once loaded, we travel directly to your new address, using the most efficient route.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify. Furniture is reassembled if this has been agreed, and we ensure boxes are placed sensibly so you can start settling in straight away. Before we leave, we check that everything has been delivered and is where you want it.
Transparent Removal Van Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our removal van rates are based on:
- Size and number of vans required
- Number of movers needed
- Distance between properties
- Expected duration of the job
- Additional services such as packing, materials and furniture assembly
All costs are explained in your written quote. There are no hidden charges for fuel or standard insurance. Where extra time or services may be required, we discuss this with you in advance so you can make an informed decision.
Why Choose Professional Removal Vans Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Hiring a cheap van or an informal man-and-van service can appear less expensive, but it often leads to hidden costs and risk. Our removal van service includes:
- Trained teams who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
- Appropriate equipment such as trolleys, straps and protective blankets
- Fully insured goods in transit cover
- Reliable timing and clear communication
- Proper contracts and paperwork
This reduces the risk of damage, injury or delays. In many cases, a well-organised professional move works out better value than multiple DIY trips or last-minute help.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Movers Roehampton operates to recognised industry standards. Every move with our removal vans includes:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover to safeguard you and your property during the move
- Trained, uniformed staff who follow safe lifting and handling practices
We keep our vans clean, well maintained and properly equipped. Method statements and risk assessments can be provided for commercial clients on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped and cushioned, fragile items are carefully packed, and loads are secured to prevent movement in transit. Where appropriate, we use reusable protective materials and responsibly source our packing supplies to reduce waste.
Route planning aims to minimise unnecessary mileage and idling, helping to reduce environmental impact while keeping your move efficient.
Common Use Cases for Our Removal Vans
Moving House
From small flats to family homes, our removal vans handle full household relocations with ease. We can coordinate with estate agents, key release times and building management to ensure a smooth transition.
Office Relocations
Businesses in Roehampton use our removal van service for office moves, internal reshuffles and equipment transfers between sites. We protect IT equipment carefully and can work outside standard office hours if required.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
When plans change unexpectedly, we do our best to provide same-day or next-day removal vans, subject to availability. Whether it is a last-minute tenancy change or an urgent item collection, we respond quickly and honestly about what we can achieve.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Roehampton cost?
The cost of hiring a removal van with Movers Roehampton depends on factors such as property size, volume of items, distance travelled and any additional services like packing or furniture assembly. We typically price moves either as a fixed quote for the entire job or an hourly rate for smaller, simpler moves. Once we have your details, we provide a clear written estimate with all charges explained. There are no hidden fees, and standard insurance is included as part of our service.
Can you provide a same-day or urgent removal van?
Yes, where availability allows we can arrange same-day or short-notice removal vans in Roehampton and nearby areas. Urgent moves depend on how many teams and vehicles are already booked, so contacting us as early as possible gives the best chance of securing a slot. We will be upfront about what we can realistically do on the day, including expected arrival times and any limitations. Even for urgent bookings, we still follow our normal safety and protection procedures.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
All moves carried out by Movers Roehampton are covered by goods in transit insurance while your belongings are in our removal vans, and public liability cover while we are working at your properties. This protection is designed for normal household and office items packed and handled in a reasonable way. We explain any limits or exclusions in our terms before you book, and can advise if additional cover is recommended for particularly high-value or unusual items.
What is included in your removal van service?
Our standard removal van service includes a suitable vehicle, fuel, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We provide protective blankets and securing straps as standard. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of boxes and packing materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and additional porters for larger moves. When we quote, we itemise what is included so you can decide which services you need and which you are happy to handle yourself.
How is a professional removal service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van usually offers only transport and basic lifting, often without formal training or comprehensive insurance. Our removal van service provides trained staff, proper equipment, fully insured cover and structured planning. We survey your move where needed, send the right size vehicle, protect your belongings, and work to agreed timescales. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes. For most customers, the added reliability and protection more than justifies the small difference in cost.
How far in advance should I book a removal van?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your removal van at least two to three weeks in advance, especially for weekends and month-end periods which are often busiest. However, we understand moves do not always follow ideal timelines, so we also handle many short-notice bookings. Even if your moving date is not confirmed, it is worth contacting us early to discuss options and pencil in a provisional slot, which we can adjust as your plans firm up.
