Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your move details – addresses, approximate dates, property sizes and any special requirements. We then provide a clear, written estimate based on the information you give us. For straightforward moves, we can often quote the same day.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a short survey. This can be done by video call or an onsite visit. The survey lets us assess access, parking, number of items, stairs and any dismantling work. This helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures we send the right size team and vehicle.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you
• Part packing service – we pack breakables and special items only
• Self packing – you pack, we supply materials if required

We label boxes clearly and protect furniture with blankets and covers. Mattresses and sofas are wrapped for transport to keep them clean and protected.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the job with you and confirms any key priorities. We load systematically, placing heavier items at the bottom and securing everything correctly. Your goods are then transported in our modern, purpose-fitted vans, fully covered by goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. We can reassemble standard items we dismantled (e.g. beds and simple wardrobes) and will not leave until you are happy that everything covered by the booking has been brought in and positioned.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of items and size of property
• Distance between addresses
• Access, stairs and parking requirements
• Number of movers needed
• Any packing or dismantling services required

We can provide either a fixed price for the full move, or an hourly rate for smaller, flexible jobs. All charges are explained in writing before you book, so you know exactly what is included and what any additional costs might be (such as congestion charges or extra stops).

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company is often more cost-effective and far safer than doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van. With us you get:

• Trained movers who know how to lift and carry safely
• Proper vehicles with tie rails, blankets and equipment
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Planning support, advice and realistic time estimates
• Reduced risk of damage to property, furniture and personal injury

DIY moves often underestimate the time, effort and risk involved. We handle the heavy work and logistics so you do not spend moving day driving back and forth or worrying about what might get damaged.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man with Van Colliers Wood operates to recognised industry standards, giving you peace of mind that your belongings are in safe hands.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to terms and conditions.
• Public liability cover – protection against accidental damage to third-party property during the move.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are trained in lifting techniques, safe loading and handling fragile or bulky items.

We are happy to share policy details and answer any questions about cover limits and exclusions before you book.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings and property with respect. During your move we:

• Use blankets, shrink wrap and covers to protect furniture
• Place floor protection where needed in wet or muddy conditions
• Secure items properly inside the vehicle to prevent movement

We also aim to work in a more sustainable way by:

• Reusing and recycling packing materials where appropriate
• Encouraging customers to return used boxes for future moves
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do house removals in Colliers Wood cost?

The cost of a house removal in Colliers Wood depends on the size of your property, the volume of items, access at both addresses and the distance travelled. Smaller flat moves might be charged on an hourly basis, while full-house moves are usually quoted at a fixed price after a survey. To give you a fair and accurate figure, we will ask a few questions about your move and, for larger jobs, may carry out a short virtual or onsite assessment before confirming a written quote.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in and around Colliers Wood, depending on our schedule and vehicle availability. If you need an urgent move, it is best to call us directly so we can check what is possible. Pricing for urgent work is still transparent – we will confirm the cost, team size and estimated time before you decide. Even at short notice, we maintain the same professional standards of care, communication and insurance cover.

What insurance cover do you provide?

All moves carried out by Man with Van Colliers Wood are protected by goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy limits and exclusions. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. These policies are designed to sit alongside your own home insurance for additional peace of mind. If you have high-value or unusual items, let us know in advance so we can confirm the best way to protect them during the move.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture, boxes and agreed items between the specified addresses. We provide protective blankets and equipment, plus basic dismantling and reassembly of straightforward furniture where agreed in advance. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of packing materials and additional stops en route. All inclusions are listed clearly in your written quote so you know exactly what is covered, as well as any optional services you can add if required.

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

A casual man-and-van is usually just vehicle and driver, with minimal protection, planning or insurance. Our professional removals service includes trained staff, appropriate vehicles with securing points, protective materials and structured planning before moving day. We carry goods in transit and public liability cover, and we assess access, volume and special requirements in advance. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs, and provides a safer, more reliable experience overall.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as you know your likely moving window, especially if you are tied to a specific completion date. Many customers in Colliers Wood book two to four weeks ahead. However, we understand that exchange and completion timings can change, so we try to be flexible where possible. If your date is not fixed, we can provisionally hold a slot and confirm it once your plans are finalised, subject to availability.
