Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Moving from a house in Old Malden or nearby? We regularly move 2–5 bedroom homes, handling everything from bulky furniture and white goods to garden equipment and garage contents. We can also provide packing materials and a full or part-packing service.

Renters

If you are moving between rented properties, we understand the importance of timing and leaving the property in good condition. We can help with careful removal of furniture, flat-pack dismantling and reassembly, and moving your belongings efficiently without damaging walls or floors.

Landlords

Landlords use our removals service for end-of-tenancy clear moves, replacing furniture in furnished lets, or preparing a property for sale. We work considerately around other contractors and neighbours and can coordinate key collection and access arrangements.

Businesses

From small offices to local shops, we provide structured commercial removals in Old Malden. We move desks, filing, stock, IT equipment and archive boxes, planning work hours to minimise downtime. Weekend and evening moves are available by arrangement.

Students

Students moving to or from Old Malden benefit from our smaller removals options – ideal for belongings, boxes, bikes and small furniture. We can collect from halls or shared houses and deliver to storage facilities or new addresses anywhere in the region.

As a full-service removals company, we can usually move:

• Sofas, armchairs, beds and wardrobes
• Tables, chairs, bookcases and cabinets
• Fridges, freezers, washing machines and cookers
• Televisions, computers and small electronics
• Clothing, personal items and household contents

If you are unsure about a particular item, please mention it during the enquiry stage so we can advise or make alternative arrangements.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Everything starts with a quick conversation by phone, email or our contact form. We will ask about the size of your property, key items, access at both addresses and your preferred date. Using this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with no hidden extras.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a short survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or an in-person visit in Old Malden. The survey helps us assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and any fragile or awkward items, so we arrive correctly staffed and equipped on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you
• Part packing – you pack most items; we handle fragile or bulky pieces
• Self-pack – you pack; we provide removal only

We label boxes clearly by room to make unloading and placement straightforward. Furniture that requires dismantling is taken apart carefully and protected for transport.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day we arrive on time, confirm the plan and walk through the property with you. Floors, bannisters and doors are protected as needed. We use professional moving equipment, blankets and straps to load your belongings safely, then transport them directly to your new address in our clean, well-maintained vehicles.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload systematically, placing items into the rooms you specify. Larger furniture is reassembled where agreed, and we position key items such as beds and sofas before we leave, so you can start using your new space immediately.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

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

• Property size and volume of items
• Distance between addresses
• Access, parking and floor levels
• Required services (such as packing, dismantling, evening or weekend work)

We provide a written quotation outlining what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for. If your requirements change, we update the quote in advance wherever possible, rather than surprising you on moving day.

Why Choose Professional Removals Instead of DIY

Hiring a professional removals team is about more than convenience. With our service you benefit from:

• Trained staff who know how to lift, protect and load safely
• Correct equipment for large, heavy or awkward items
• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
• Reduced risk of damage to walls, floors and staircases
• Faster, more efficient moves that keep your day on schedule

DIY moves or informal, unregulated man-and-van services often lack proper insurance, planning and protection, which can become costly if anything goes wrong.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important to you, so we treat them as if they were our own. Our removals service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are being moved
• Public liability cover for peace of mind at both properties
• Trained, experienced staff who follow safe working practices

We operate to professional standards for handling, loading and securing loads and keep our vehicles clean and well maintained. Documentation can be provided on request for building management, letting agents or business premises.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care to minimise both damage and waste during your move. Furniture and appliances are wrapped in transit blankets and secured with straps; fragile items are handled separately and clearly marked. Where possible, we reuse strong, good-quality packing materials and encourage clients to return boxes for multiple use. We also plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use.

Real-World Removals in Old Malden

Moving House

Most of our work involves local homeowners and families moving between properties in Old Malden and neighbouring areas. We are used to coordinating with estate agents, key release times and parking restrictions to keep the day running smoothly.

Office and Commercial Relocations

We help small businesses relocate within the area or move to larger premises. This can include moving stock, workstations, filing systems and IT equipment, with moves often scheduled outside normal working hours to keep your business available to customers.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Life does not always go to plan. Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice removals in Old Malden, for example when completion dates move suddenly or tenants need to vacate quickly. Contact us as soon as you know your dates and we will do our best to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Old Malden cost?

The cost of a removal in Old Malden depends on the size of your move, access at each property, distance travelled and any additional services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while full house or office moves are usually quoted at a fixed price once we understand the scope. To provide an accurate figure, we ask a few questions or carry out a short survey, then give you a clear written quote with no hidden charges.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

Where our schedule permits, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice removals in Old Malden. Availability depends on vehicle and crew capacity, so it is always best to contact us as early as possible if you think your dates may change. For urgent moves we streamline the survey stage, confirm the key details quickly and focus on the essentials to get you moved safely and on time, while still protecting your belongings and properties.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Our service includes goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being transported, as well as public liability cover for work carried out at your properties. This is in addition to the care we take with professional packing, loading and protection. We are happy to explain the cover limits and conditions in plain language, and if you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss them in advance to ensure they are appropriately documented and handled.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service covers the vehicle, fuel, a trained team, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble common flat-pack furniture by arrangement. Optional extras include packing services and provision of packing materials. We set out exactly what is included in your quote so you know what to expect on moving day and can add or remove services to suit your budget and timescale.

What is the difference between your removals service and a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van is usually best for very small, simple jobs, but may not offer planning, protection or insurance. Our removals service is a structured, professional operation with trained staff, appropriate vehicles, goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. We survey where needed, protect your property, plan loading properly and provide written quotes and confirmations. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs, which is especially important for full house or office moves.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

Ideally, you should book your removal as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are moving on a Friday or at month end when demand is highest. Two to four weeks’ notice is common for standard moves, giving us time to carry out any survey and arrange packing if required. That said, we regularly help clients on shorter notice, so even if your move is imminent, it is still worth getting in touch to check availability.
