Who Our House Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

From first homes to forever homes, we regularly move families and couples in and out of houses and bungalows. We manage heavy furniture, garden items, sheds and garages so you can focus on the rest of your move.

We assist landlords with tenant changeover removals, part-clearances and full house clearances. We work considerately in occupied and recently vacated properties and can coordinate directly with you or your agents.

Need to move staff between company properties, or relocate a small office from home to commercial premises? Our office and home-office removals are efficient and discreet, with careful handling of IT and office furniture.

Students

We offer budget-friendly student removals for term-time changes and end-of-tenancy moves. Perfect for moving between Chessington and university towns, with options for shared loads to keep costs down.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or our online form with your moving details: addresses, dates, property size and any special requirements. We will ask a few questions and provide an initial no-obligation quote based on the information you give us.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or in person. We assess access, parking, the volume of belongings and any challenges such as narrow stairways or heavy items. This allows us to give you a firm price and plan the right vehicle, team and timings.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – we carefully pack your entire home using quality materials.
• Part packing – we handle fragile or high-risk items (glass, kitchenware, ornaments, pictures).
• Self-packing – you pack, and we provide advice and materials on request.

On the day, we protect floors and key areas, dismantle agreed furniture where required, and prepare everything for safe loading.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team loads your belongings systematically, using removal blankets, straps and covers to protect furniture and appliances. We secure everything inside our vehicles to minimise movement in transit. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the move.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new home, we unload room by room, placing items where you need them. We will reassemble agreed items, such as beds and basic furniture, and make sure you are satisfied with the layout before we leave. We take away our waste packing materials where practical, leaving your new home as tidy as possible.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Chessington

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will typically consider:

• Property size and volume of items
• Distance between addresses
• Access and parking difficulty
• Number of movers required
• Whether packing and materials are included
• Any special items or additional services

We usually work on a fixed-price basis for full house moves, so you know the cost upfront. For smaller moves or partial loads, we may offer competitive hourly rates with clear minimum booking times. All charges, including any mileage or congestion fees, are outlined before you confirm.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Trying to move house with borrowed vans or casual help often leads to delays, damage and unnecessary stress. A professional removals service gives you:

• Experienced, trained movers who know how to handle heavy and fragile items
• Proper equipment: removal blankets, trolleys, straps, tools for dismantling
• Fully insured vehicles and operations
• Efficient loading and unloading, saving you time and effort
• Reduced risk of injury from lifting or carrying awkward items

Our team does this every day. We plan carefully, work steadily and keep your move running to schedule, so you do not have to manage everything yourself.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Man with Van Chessington operates to strong professional standards to protect you and your belongings.

• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property or third parties.
• Trained moving teams with experience in lifting, packing and safe loading techniques.

We are happy to discuss cover levels and provide confirmation of insurance details on request, so you have complete peace of mind.

Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability

We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped and protected, mattresses and sofas can be covered, and fragile items are packed securely. We plan the order of loading to minimise movement in transit and to speed up unloading.

We also take a practical approach to sustainability. Where possible, we reuse sturdy boxes and protective materials, reduce unnecessary journeys through good planning, and encourage customers to pass on or recycle unwanted items rather than sending everything to landfill.

Real-World Uses of Our House Removals Service

Moving House

From small terraced houses to larger family homes, we handle full moves day in, day out. We work around school runs, work commitments and key handover times to keep your move on track.

Office and Home-Office Relocations

We support small business and home-office moves, including desks, filing, stock and IT equipment. We plan for minimal downtime so you can get back up and running quickly in your new space.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Not every move is planned months in advance. If you face an urgent move-out date or last-minute change, we will always try to help. Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or next-day removals in and around Chessington.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Chessington cost?

The cost depends on several factors: the size of your property, the volume of belongings, distance between addresses, access issues and whether you need packing services. Small flat moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while full house moves are usually priced as a fixed quote so you know exactly what you will pay. During your enquiry and survey, we gather all the details we need to give you a clear, itemised price with no hidden extras.

Can you do same-day or urgent house removals?

We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Chessington, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Smaller flat or room moves are easier to accommodate at short notice, while full house moves may require at least some planning. If you need an urgent move, contact us as soon as possible with your dates, addresses and a rough idea of what needs moving. We will be honest about availability and offer the most practical solution we can.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your items are covered 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. Insurance is there as a safety net; our main focus is preventing damage in the first place through careful packing, loading and handling. We can explain our cover levels in detail and, if needed, advise you on any extra protection you may wish to arrange directly with your own insurer.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard removals service includes the vehicle, fuel, professional movers, protective equipment, loading at your old address, transport, and unloading at your new property. We can also include dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or part packing, packing materials, storage arrangements and disposal of certain unwanted items. During your quote, we will clearly set out what is and is not included, so you can choose the level of service that suits your needs and budget.

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

A casual man-and-van may be fine for a few items, but a full house move usually needs more planning and protection. A professional removals service provides experienced, trained staff, suitable vehicles, correct lifting equipment and full insurance. We survey the property, assess access, plan the loading order and take responsibility for the entire move from start to finish. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected problems on the day, giving you a more reliable and less stressful experience.

How far in advance should I book my house removal?

Ideally, book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are moving at busy times such as month-end or school holidays. Many customers book two to four weeks in advance, which gives us time to survey, plan and reserve the right team and vehicle. However, we understand that dates can change and sometimes you get short notice. Even if your move is soon, it is worth getting in touch – we will do our best to fit you in or suggest practical options.
