Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or through our website to outline your move. We will ask about property type, access, dates and key items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining what is included and any optional extras, such as packing services.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a small move, we usually carry out a short survey. This can be virtual (video call/photos) or onsite in Chessington. The survey lets us check volumes, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any special items. This ensures we allocate the right team size, vehicle and equipment, avoiding delays on moving day.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer several levels of packing support:

• Full packing service – we supply materials and pack your entire property
• Part packing – we pack fragile or high-value items only
• Self-pack – you pack, and we provide moving advice as needed

On the day, we protect furniture with blankets, covers and, where needed, door and banister protection to keep both your items and property safe.

4. Loading & Transport

Our professional team loads your belongings systematically, using securing straps and padding to prevent movement in transit. We plan the route in advance, taking into account Chessington traffic patterns and any height or weight restrictions. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while on our vehicles.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload room by room, placing furniture where you want it and stacking boxes sensibly for easy unpacking. We work with you to ensure key items such as beds, sofas and essential appliances are in place first, so you can settle in quickly.

Transparent Pricing for Removals in Chessington

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of goods and size of vehicle required
• Number of movers needed and estimated time
• Distance between properties
• Access issues (stairs, long carries, parking restrictions)
• Any additional services – packing, materials, furniture dismantling/reassembly

We will always explain what is included in your price and highlight any potential additional charges upfront, such as congestion or parking fees, so you can budget with confidence.

Why Choose a Professional Removals Company Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company like Man with Van Chessington usually works out more cost-effective and far less stressful than doing it yourself. You avoid multiple trips, vehicle hire complications, and the risk of injuries from lifting heavy items without proper technique.

With us you get:

• Trained movers who know how to handle bulky and fragile items safely
• Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
• Fully insured transport, unlike many casual man-and-van services
• Reliable timings and contingency planning
• Accountability – a local company with a reputation to maintain

Instead of relying on friends and borrowed vehicles, you gain an organised, predictable move carried out by professionals.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Every move we carry out is supported by appropriate insurance and working practices:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while they are on our vehicles
• Public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained staff using safe lifting and handling techniques
• Regularly maintained vehicles and equipment
• Clear terms and conditions provided before booking

This structure protects you, your property and our team, and ensures that if the unexpected happens, you are not left out of pocket.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Looking after your belongings starts with proper protection. We use padded blankets, mattress and sofa covers, floor runners and door protectors where appropriate. Fragile items are wrapped and positioned carefully in the vehicle to minimise movement.

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

• Reusing strong cartons where suitable
• Offering collection of used boxes for recycling when possible
• Planning efficient routes to reduce fuel use
• Maintaining vehicles to lower emissions and breakdown risk

Our goal is a safe, efficient move that respects both your possessions and the local environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Chessington typically cost?

The cost of a removal in Chessington depends mainly on the volume of goods, distance travelled, access at each property and whether you need packing or dismantling services. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while full house or office moves are often quoted as a fixed price. Once we have the key details and, where appropriate, completed a survey, we provide a clear written quote explaining exactly what is included so you can compare like-for-like with other companies.

Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?

Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Chessington, subject to availability. If your dates have changed suddenly, or you have been let down by another provider, contact us as soon as possible with your details. We will check our schedule, advise what is realistically achievable, and prioritise essential items if time is very tight. While we recommend booking in advance where possible, we understand that emergencies happen and we always try to offer a practical solution.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to buildings or third-party property. During the quotation process, we will explain the key points of our insurance, including any limits or exclusions, so you know exactly how you are protected. For unusually high-value items, we may ask for additional details so we can confirm coverage or discuss any extra arrangements if required.

What is included in your removals service as standard?

As standard, our removals service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained moving team, protective blankets and basic equipment for safe loading and transport. We collect items from your property, load them securely, transport them to your new address and unload them into the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembling furniture, and out-of-hours work. All inclusions will be clearly listed on your quote so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.

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

A professional removals company offers much more than just a vehicle and a driver. We provide trained staff, planning, appropriate insurance, and the correct equipment to handle a wide range of items safely. Casual man-and-van operators may be fine for very small, low-risk jobs, but often lack formal insurance, written terms or backup plans if something goes wrong. By choosing a structured removals service, you gain accountability, predictable timings and the reassurance that your belongings are being handled by people who do this work every day.

How far in advance should I book my move?

Ideally, you should book your Chessington removal as soon as your moving date is reasonably certain, especially if you are moving at month-end or during busy periods. Two to four weeks’ notice is common for house moves, but we regularly accommodate shorter timeframes when our schedule allows. Early booking gives you the widest choice of dates and start times, and allows us to carry out any necessary survey and planning so that moving day runs as smoothly as possible from start to finish.
