Who Our Removal Services Are For

Homeowners

From terraced houses to larger family homes, we handle complete household moves, including furniture dismantling and reassembly, white goods and garden items. We work carefully to protect floors, bannisters and doorways in both your old and new property.

Renters

If you are moving between rented flats or houses in Chessington, we can move you efficiently with minimal time off work. We are used to working with lifts, tight stairwells and parking limitations, and we take care to avoid any damage that might affect your deposit.

Landlords

We support landlords with tenancy changeover removals, including clearing properties, moving furniture between lets and storing items if needed. We can also help with light disposal of unwanted, pre-agreed items to prepare a property for new tenants.

Businesses

Our office and commercial removals are designed to reduce downtime. We can move desks, IT equipment, filing, stock and small machinery, planning the move around your trading hours where possible. We label and position items to your plan so staff can get back to work quickly.

Students

For students moving to or from Chessington, we offer cost-effective, smaller-scale student removals. We can handle boxed belongings, suitcases, small furniture and bikes, coordinating with term dates and shared accommodation access.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Everything begins with a quick call, email or online enquiry. We will ask about your current and new addresses, property type, access details, approximate contents and your preferred moving date. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included, any optional extras and likely timings.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most moves, we carry out either a virtual video survey or an onsite visit. This helps us assess volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any awkward or fragile items. The survey ensures we send the right size vehicle, the correct number of removal operatives and sufficient protective materials on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer different levels of packing:

• Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you
• Part packing service – we pack fragile or high-value items only
• Self-pack option – you pack, and we provide packing materials if required

On moving day, we protect furniture with blankets and covers, and use floor protection where needed. Items are labelled clearly to help with organised unloading.

4. Loading & Transport

Our professional team carefully loads your belongings, using trolleys, straps and padding to secure everything safely. We plan the loading order so that essential items can come off first at your new property. Your goods are transported in well-maintained vehicles under our goods in transit insurance for your peace of mind.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new address, we unload systematically, placing furniture and boxes into the correct rooms according to your instructions. We can reassemble dismantled items and position larger pieces so you can start settling in straight away. Before we leave, we do a final check with you to ensure nothing has been missed.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote is based on:

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Distance between properties
• Access difficulty and floor levels
• Number of removal operatives required
• Whether packing services and materials are included
• Any special items needing extra care

We will explain what is included in the quoted price and any potential additional costs (for example, waiting time due to key delays) before you book, so you can budget with confidence.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Moving yourself or relying on a casual man-and-van might seem cheaper, but it often ends up costing more in time, stress and potential damage. Our trained teams know how to handle heavy, bulky and fragile items safely, navigate tight spaces and load vehicles correctly to avoid breakages.

With our fully insured service, you are protected if the unexpected happens. Using professional removers also helps prevent personal injury from lifting and carrying, and avoids strain on friends or family. In most cases, the efficiency and protection we provide offer better overall value than a DIY move.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Man with Van Chessington operates to recognised industry standards, with a strong focus on safety and accountability. Our cover includes:

• Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are being moved
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property against accidental damage caused by our team

All staff are trained in safe lifting techniques, vehicle loading, use of protective equipment and customer care. We maintain our vehicles regularly and use appropriate moving equipment to reduce risk and ensure a smooth, professional service.

Care, Protection & Sustainability

We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped with transit blankets, mattresses and sofas are covered, and fragile items are carefully packed and labelled. We always aim to protect floors, carpets and walls at both ends of the move.

Where possible, we use recyclable packing materials and reusable protective covers. We plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use. When customers need to dispose of unwanted items, we aim to reuse or recycle where we reasonably can, in line with local regulations.

Real-World Removal Scenarios We Handle

Moving House in Chessington

Whether you are moving from a flat near the station or a family home further out, we coordinate timings with estate agents and key collection, and work efficiently to keep your moving day on schedule.

Office & Business Relocations

We plan business moves to suit your trading hours, including weekday evenings or weekends where agreed. Equipment is labelled and set down according to your floor plan so your team can restart operations quickly.

Urgent & Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up quickly – a sudden change in tenancy, a last-minute completion date or an urgent office rearrangement. Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or next-day removals in and around Chessington, with honest advice on what is realistically possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removal services in Chessington cost?

The cost depends mainly on how much you are moving, the distance between properties, access (such as stairs or long carries) and whether you need packing included. Smaller local moves may be charged on a fixed price or hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a set fee. We provide a clear written quotation after discussing your requirements and, where needed, carrying out a survey. There are no hidden extras, and any possible additional charges are explained before you confirm your booking.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often help with same-day or short-notice removals in Chessington, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Smaller flats, student moves or part-loads are usually easier to accommodate at short notice than full house removals. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with full details so we can check vehicle and crew availability and give you realistic options. We will always be honest about what we can safely achieve within the time available.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property. We will explain the main terms, including any limits or exclusions, when you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend that you notify your own insurer as well. Our aim is to minimise the risk of any damage in the first place through careful packing, handling and secure loading.

What is included in your removal service?

Our standard service includes the vehicle, professional removal team, loading, transport and unloading of your belongings to the rooms you specify. We supply moving equipment such as blankets, straps and trolleys, and protect furniture as standard. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of boxes and packing materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and removal of pre-agreed unwanted items. Every quotation clearly lists what is and is not included, so you can choose the level of service that best suits your budget and timescale.

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

A casual man-and-van usually offers transport only, often with limited staffing, equipment and cover. Our service is run by trained movers using suitable vehicles, protective materials and organised methods. We plan the move, protect your property, and provide insurance backing. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs. For anything more than a very small move, a professional removal service is typically more efficient, safer and better value overall, especially when you factor in your time, effort and peace of mind.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a firm moving date, especially if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end or during peak summer periods. For larger house or office moves, one to three weeks’ notice is usually sensible, allowing time for surveys and planning. That said, we know dates can change, so we do our best to stay flexible. If your move is sooner, contact us anyway – we will check availability and work with you to find the most practical solution.
