We offer a complete moving service, tailored to your needs. Whether you are moving a studio flat, a family home, or a busy office, our professional team can handle every stage of the move, including:

• Home removals – flats, terraced houses, townhouses and large family homes
• Office and commercial relocations – small offices through to multi-floor moves

• Internal moves within the same building or site

Every move is carefully planned and carried out by trained, uniformed staff using the right equipment, vehicles and protective materials.

Local Expertise in Greenwich

Working day in, day out in Greenwich means we understand the realities of moving here. From parking suspensions on narrow streets in Greenwich town centre to access issues in new-build developments along the river, we know what to look out for and how to plan around it.

We regularly operate in areas such as Greenwich, Blackheath, Maze Hill, Deptford, Charlton and Kidbrooke. Our local knowledge helps us plan sensible timings, avoid unnecessary delays and liaise with you about lifts, loading bays and permits well before move day.

Who Our Removal Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we handle full household moves with care. We can pack your home from top to bottom, move your belongings, and set up furniture and key items so you can settle in quickly.

Renters

If you are moving between rented properties, timing and condition of the property are vital. We work with you to meet check-in and check-out times and protect walls, floors and common areas so you avoid unnecessary disputes with letting agents or landlords.

Landlords

We assist landlords with tenant changeover moves, partial clearances, and carefully removing or repositioning furniture between properties, always with respect for the building and other residents.

Businesses

From small local firms to larger offices, our office removals team can plan and carry out moves outside core hours where needed. We label and protect IT, files and office furniture so your team can get back to work quickly.

Students

We regularly support students moving to or from university accommodation, shared houses and halls. Flexible dates, smaller vehicles and clear pricing make it straightforward to move your belongings safely without relying on lifts from friends or family.

What We Move – and What We Don’t

Items Typically Included

Our removals service covers most household and office contents, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes and all standard furniture
• White goods (fridges, freezers, washing machines, etc.)
• Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and documents
• Home office and business equipment
• TVs, computers and other electronics (carefully protected)
• Garden furniture, tools and outdoor items (by arrangement)

Items Typically Excluded

For safety and compliance, certain items are usually excluded or require special discussion:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Live animals and pets
• Illegal items or anything that cannot legally be transported
• Heavy industrial machinery beyond normal household/office equipment
• High-value collections (fine art, antiques, jewellery) without prior agreement

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, we will clarify it during your survey so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with the details of your move: addresses, dates, property type and any specific concerns. We ask a few focused questions to understand your requirements and provide an initial indication of cost. Where the move is straightforward, we may be able to give a firm quote at this stage.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most moves, we carry out a free survey. This can be by video call or in person, depending on your preference and the complexity of the job. We assess access, parking, stairs or lifts, special items and volume of belongings. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, crew size and time, and to give you a clear, written quotation.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer both full packing services and part-packing where you pack most items and we handle fragile or awkward pieces. We use quality packing materials and protective covers for furniture, mattresses and key items. If you are packing yourself, we can supply boxes and materials in advance and offer guidance on how best to pack.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the property with you, and agrees the loading plan. Floors, banisters and doors are protected where needed. Items are carefully loaded and secured in our vehicles to prevent movement in transit. We use appropriate lifting techniques and equipment to move heavier items safely.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload systematically, placing furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. Large items are reassembled where agreed, and we make sure essentials are accessible before we leave. We take away our packing materials and walk through with you to check you are happy with the placement of key items.

Transparent Pricing – How Our Charges Work

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of items and size of property
• Access and parking at both addresses
• Distance between properties
• Level of service – from transport only through to full packing and unpacking
• Any additional services such as dismantling, storage or out-of-hours working

Your written quotation will explain what is included, any optional extras, and how long the move is expected to take. We are always happy to talk through the quote in detail so you understand exactly what you are paying for.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van

Moving yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van can appear cheaper, but it often comes with hidden costs: damage to belongings, injury from incorrect lifting, delays, or multiple trips due to undersized vehicles. As a professional removal company, we provide:

• Fully insured services with goods in transit and public liability cover
• Trained teams using proper lifting techniques and equipment
• Planned vehicle sizes and crew numbers to complete your move in one organised operation
• Protective materials to reduce risk of damage to furniture and property
• Clear paperwork and agreed timings

The result is a safer, more predictable move, and significantly less stress for you.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. All moves are covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance, protecting your belongings while they are in our care, and public liability cover for work on your premises. Our crews are trained in handling, packing and safe working practices, and we maintain our vehicles and equipment to high standards.

Before your move, we will explain the key terms of cover, any limits, and how to highlight particularly valuable items so they are noted and handled accordingly.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings and property as if they were our own. Furniture and mattresses are wrapped and protected, and we take care around stairwells, lifts and tight corners. We use reusable protective materials where possible and are working to reduce waste from single-use plastics and cardboard.

Where we do use cardboard boxes, we encourage reuse and responsible recycling. On request, we can collect our boxes after you have unpacked, helping to cut down on waste and clutter.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House Within Greenwich

Typical local moves see us helping families relocate between Greenwich and neighbouring areas such as Blackheath or Charlton. We often complete these in a single day, including dismantling and reassembling main furniture items so the property is usable from the first evening.

Office Relocation

For business customers, we regularly carry out evening or weekend moves to minimise downtime. We can move workstations, filing, and IT equipment in a planned sequence so staff can walk into a functional office on the next working day.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Occasionally, circumstances change at the last minute. Where our schedule allows, we accommodate urgent moves within Greenwich and the wider area. This might involve smaller crews, staggered moves or multiple vehicles, but we always aim for a safe, controlled relocation rather than a rushed job.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal company in Greenwich cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the amount of belongings, access, distance and whether you need packing services. A small flat move within Greenwich will usually be at the lower end of our pricing, while a large family home or an office relocation will cost more due to the additional time, crew size and vehicle capacity required. After a short conversation and survey, we will provide a clear, written quote with no hidden extras so you know exactly what to budget for.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

Same-day or very short-notice moves are sometimes possible, but depend entirely on our existing bookings and the scale of the job. For smaller flat or student moves, we are often able to help at short notice, especially mid-week. Larger house or office moves are more complex to organise and normally need advance planning. If you do have an urgent situation, contact us as soon as you can. We will honestly explain what is achievable and, where possible, offer a practical solution.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to third-party property. During your quotation, we will outline the main terms, limits and any exclusions so you have a clear understanding of the cover in place. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may discuss additional precautions or documentation to make sure they are properly noted and handled with extra care.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture and boxes between the agreed addresses, using appropriate protective materials and professional handling. We place items into the rooms you specify at the new property. Optional extras include packing, unpacking, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and supply of packing materials. Your written quote will clearly list what is and is not included, so you can choose the level of service that best suits your budget and timescales.

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

A casual man-and-van service will usually provide transport and basic lifting, but may not offer fully insured cover, trained staff or the planning needed for larger moves. As a professional removal company, we carry proper insurance, use trained teams, and allocate the right vehicle size and crew to complete your move safely and efficiently. We provide written quotations, clear terms and a structured process, which greatly reduces the risk of delays, damage or last-minute cancellations.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

For most house moves, we recommend booking as soon as your moving date is reasonably certain, especially if you are tied to a completion date or moving on a Friday or month-end, which are popular. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal, but we can often accommodate moves with less notice, particularly mid-week or outside peak periods. Even if you do not have a fixed date yet, it is worth making initial contact so we can pencil you in and plan ahead.
