Who Our House Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Hammersmith, we manage full household moves, including delicate items, large furniture and garage or shed contents. We can also coordinate around completion dates and key handovers.
Renters
From studio apartments to multi-bedroom rentals, we work to tight check-out times and inventory schedules. We protect walls, doors and floors to help you leave the property in good condition for your final inspection.
Landlords
We assist landlords with quick, efficient removals of furniture and contents between tenancies, end-of-tenancy clearouts (non-waste) and re-furnishing rental properties.
Businesses Moving Home or Office
If you’re running a business from home or moving small office contents alongside your household items, we can move workstations, files, IT equipment and stock securely and clearly labelled for easy set-up at the new address.
Students
We offer cost-effective smaller moves for students moving into or out of halls or shared houses in and around Hammersmith, with flexible dates around term times and short lets.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your moving details: current address, destination, property size, dates and any special items. We’ll ask a few questions to understand your move and provide a clear, no-obligation quote. For straightforward moves, we can often quote based on your description and a few photos.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a short video or onsite survey. This lets us assess access, parking, the volume of items and any fragile or bulky pieces. We then confirm the vehicle size, team size and estimated time required so there are no surprises on moving day.
3. Packing & Preparation
Before moving day, you can choose to pack yourself or use our professional packing service. If we’re packing, we arrive with all materials, label boxes clearly by room and handle fragile items with extra care. Either way, we’ll advise you how to prepare appliances, wardrobes and outdoor items in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our professional, uniformed team arrives at the agreed time. We protect key items and load your belongings methodically, securing them in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. Our drivers know the Hammersmith area well and plan routes around traffic, restrictions and height limits.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items carefully into the rooms you specify. We reassemble agreed furniture, position bulky items where you want them and carry out a final check with you before we leave, so you’re happy with everything in place.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Property size and volume of contents
- Distance between addresses
- Access and parking at both ends
- Required crew size and estimated duration
- Any additional services (packing, materials, dismantling, storage)
We provide a written quote detailing what’s included, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. There are no hidden charges for stairs or waiting time that haven’t been discussed in advance. If your requirements change, we update the quote transparently before the move.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company is not just about convenience. It reduces risk, saves time and protects your belongings. DIY moves or casual man-and-van services often lack proper insurance, equipment and trained staff, which can lead to damage, delays and stress.
We bring the right tools, protection, lifting techniques and planning experience. Heavy items are moved safely, fragile belongings are packed and loaded correctly, and your property is protected from scuffs and damage. In many cases, the overall cost is comparable to DIY once you factor in van hire, fuel, materials, time off work and the risk of breakages.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man with Van Hammersmith operates to high professional standards to give you peace of mind:
- Goods in transit insurance – your belongings are covered while being transported in our vehicles (within policy limits and terms).
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
- Trained moving teams – staff are experienced in safe lifting, handling fragile items and working in tight London properties.
- Clean, well-maintained vehicles equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys.
We are always happy to explain our cover in plain language and provide details of limits and exclusions on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your home and belongings as if they were our own. Furniture and doorways are protected where needed, and items are wrapped or covered to prevent knocks and scuffs. We handle pianos, antiques and sentimental items with particular care.
We also aim to work as sustainably as practical. Wherever possible, we reuse strong cartons, encourage responsible recycling of old packing materials and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. If you’d like to return our boxes after your move, we can often collect and reuse them, helping to cut down waste.

For those moving from rented accommodation or parents’ homes into a first property, we provide guidance on packing, timelines and access, helping you understand what to expect at every stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Hammersmith cost?
The cost of a house removal in Hammersmith depends on several factors: the size of your property, the volume of belongings, distance between addresses, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any extra services such as packing or dismantling furniture. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger homes are usually quoted as a fixed price. Once we’ve discussed your move or completed a survey, we’ll provide a clear, written quote with everything included, so you can budget confidently without worrying about hidden extras.
Can you handle same-day or urgent house moves?
We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in and around Hammersmith, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with your details. We’ll check availability, assess what’s realistically achievable and give you an honest answer. For very last-minute moves, we may suggest a part-move or prioritising essential items first, then arranging a follow-up trip if needed, so that you’re not rushed into a disorganised or unsafe move.
What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they’re being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy limits and terms. We also carry public liability insurance for accidental damage to property or third parties during the move. These policies are designed to provide reasonable protection for typical household moves. We always recommend that particularly high-value items are listed separately and that you maintain your own home contents cover. We’re happy to explain our insurance in detail and provide documentation if you’d like to see it before booking.
What exactly is included in your house removals service?
Our standard house removals service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional removals team, loading, secure transport and unloading into your new home. We protect key items and can usually dismantle and reassemble simple furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include a packing service, supply of packing materials and help with arranging storage. Our quote will clearly list what’s included so there’s no confusion. If you need additional services added or removed later, we’ll update the quote transparently before moving day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a basic man-and-van can be suitable for very small jobs, our service is structured as a full, professional removals operation. That means trained staff, insurance cover, proper equipment, pre-move planning and written quotations. We assess access, volume and any special requirements in advance, then allocate the right team and vehicle. Items are wrapped and secured properly, and we take responsibility for the move from start to finish. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings that can sometimes occur with casual or unregulated services.
How far in advance should I book my house removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at month-ends and weekends, we recommend booking your house removal 2–4 weeks in advance. However, we understand that in reality, completion dates and rental agreements can change at short notice. If your dates are not yet fixed, we can pencil you in and confirm closer to the time. We’ll always do our best to accommodate last-minute moves, but early contact gives you the widest options and helps us plan your move more efficiently.
