Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about property size, access, dates and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included so you can make an informed decision.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a short virtual or onsite survey. This lets us confirm volume, identify access issues, and discuss packing options. The survey helps avoid surprises on moving day and ensures the right number of staff and vehicle capacity are allocated.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer both full packing and part packing services, or you can pack yourself. If you choose our packing service, our team arrives with quality materials and packs your belongings methodically, labelling boxes by room and content. We also disassemble agreed furniture where needed and protect delicate surfaces.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our team protects floors and bannisters where appropriate, then loads systematically to keep items safe in transit. Furniture is wrapped or blanketed, and loads are securely tied off. Your goods are then transported directly to the new address in our GPS-tracked vehicles.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it and reassembling any agreed pieces. We work with you to make sure everything is positioned sensibly before we leave, and we remove our materials and any waste we have created.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are usually based on:
- Volume of goods and number of rooms
- Access at both properties (floors, lifts, parking distance)
- Travel distance between addresses
- Level of service required (packing, dismantling, reassembly)
- Any special items needing extra handling
Once we have the full picture, we provide a written price outlining what is included. If your requirements change, we explain any price adjustment before proceeding. This approach keeps everything predictable and avoids last-minute disputes.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals team does more than save your back. With a structured process, proper equipment and fully insured services, we reduce the risk of damage, delays and injury. DIY moves or casual man-and-van jobs often underestimate time, vehicle size and packing needs, leading to multiple trips and avoidable breakages.
With Man with Van Earlsfield you benefit from:
- Trained staff used to handling heavy and awkward items safely
- Correct loading methods that protect belongings in transit
- Reliable timings and realistic planning
- Cover in place if the unexpected happens
Insurance and Professional Standards
All our work is backed by appropriate insurance and a professional approach to risk management.
Goods in Transit Insurance
Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to standard terms and conditions. We handle items carefully to avoid any issues, but it is reassuring to know cover is there.
Public Liability Cover
We carry public liability insurance, protecting you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage while we are working on-site. This is a key difference between a professional removal company and casual, uninsured operators.
Trained Moving Teams
Our movers are trained in safe lifting, loading, and protection techniques. New staff work under supervision, and we continually refine our methods based on real-world experience. We treat your property with the same care we would expect in our own homes.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take the protection of your belongings and the environment seriously. On every job we:
- Use clean, well-maintained removal blankets and protective materials
- Secure loads properly to prevent movement in transit
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Reuse durable packing materials where safe and hygienic
- Encourage customers to reuse or recycle boxes after their move
Where possible, we also help customers donate unwanted but usable items to local charities, reducing waste and making good use of surplus furniture and household goods.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House
From one-bedroom flats to family homes, we manage full house removals, coordinating with your key collection and completion times. We can stage the move if you have storage in between, or move you straight from old to new in a single, well-planned day.
Office Relocation
For businesses, we plan office relocations around your trading hours, packing and labelling workstations so they are quick to set up again. We can work evenings or weekends to minimise downtime and disruption to staff and clients.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves come up unexpectedly – a sudden completion date, a tenancy ending or an emergency situation. Subject to availability, we can arrange urgent removals at short notice, focusing on the essentials to get you safely from A to B.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do your removal services in Earlsfield cost?
Our pricing depends on the volume of items, distance, access, and the level of service you need (for example, packing and dismantling). Small local moves may be charged on a half-day or hourly basis, while larger home or office moves are usually priced as a fixed job. After a brief discussion and, where needed, a survey, we give you a clear written quote with everything included so you know the total cost before you commit.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves, especially for smaller loads, but it always depends on existing bookings and staff availability. If you have an urgent situation, contact us as early as possible with your addresses, access details and a rough list of items. We will tell you honestly what we can do, propose the most practical option, and confirm any time windows we can commit to before you book.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work at your properties. These policies sit alongside our careful handling, proper packing and secure loading practices. We are happy to explain the main terms, exclusions and limits before you book, and you are welcome to supplement our cover with your own insurance if you wish.
What is included in your removal service?
As standard, our service includes the vehicle, fuel, professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide blankets and basic protection for furniture and can dismantle straightforward pieces such as bed frames by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of packing materials, more complex furniture assembly and additional stops, such as storage facilities. Your quote will set out clearly exactly what is and is not included.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without surveys, written quotes or formal insurance. A professional removal service, like ours, provides planning, trained staff, protective equipment, and structured loading and unloading. We assess access, allocate the right vehicle and crew, and work to agreed timescales. You also benefit from fully insured services and accountability if something goes wrong. Overall, this reduces risk, saves time and usually proves better value in the long run.
How far in advance should I book my move?
For most home and office moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have a likely date, ideally 2–4 weeks in advance during busy periods. This gives you the best choice of slots and time to organise packing. That said, we know dates can change, so we try to be flexible and can often help at shorter notice if our schedule allows. If you are working to a tight deadline, contact us and we will advise on our next available options.
