Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the details of your move – current and new addresses, property size, access information and preferred dates. We discuss your requirements and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most full moves, we carry out a short survey. This can be a video call or a visit to your property in Colliers Wood. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, the volume of items and any special requirements. This means the right number of staff, vehicles and materials are booked for your move.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you choose our packing service, we arrive beforehand to pack your belongings using strong boxes and protective materials. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply materials and advise on the best way to protect delicate or heavy items. We label boxes clearly to make unloading and placement easier.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects key areas and loads the van in a logical order. Furniture and larger items are wrapped and secured, and boxes are stacked safely. We then transport your belongings directly to your new property using our well-maintained vehicles.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it. We can reassemble items we dismantled and make sure you are happy with the main layout before we leave. We take away any moving blankets and equipment, leaving you to start settling in.
Transparent Pricing for Removals in Colliers Wood
Our pricing is straightforward and based on a few key factors:
- Size of the property and volume of belongings
- Distance between addresses
- Access and parking at both ends
- Number of movers and vehicles required
- Any additional services such as packing or storage
We provide clear written quotes, so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges for stairs or mileage within the agreed scope. If your requirements change, we will discuss any price adjustments with you in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Moving yourself or hiring a casual van may seem cheaper, but it often leads to delays, breakages and stress. As a professional removals company, we bring:
- Trained staff who know how to handle heavy, awkward and fragile items safely
- Proper insurance cover for your belongings and the properties involved
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and protective covers
- Well-planned schedules to keep the move on track
With us handling the heavy lifting and logistics, you can focus on the practicalities of your new home or business premises, rather than worrying about damage or injuries.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and work to recognised standards in the removals industry. For your peace of mind, we provide:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties
- Trained, experienced moving teams who follow safe working practices
Policy details and limits are available on request, and we are happy to explain how cover applies to your particular move.
Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability
We treat every move as if it were our own property being transported. Furniture is wrapped, boxes are stacked carefully and vulnerable areas are protected. We plan the load so items are not crushed or exposed during transit.
We also aim to work in a more sustainable way. Where possible, we:
- Reuse and recycle strong packing materials
- Plan efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Encourage customers to return or recycle boxes after their move
This approach reduces waste and helps keep our environmental impact lower, while still maintaining a high level of protection for your belongings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals in Colliers Wood cost?
The cost depends mainly on the size of your property, the volume of items, distance and any additional services such as packing. A small local flat move may only require a few hours with a small team, while a larger house move can take longer with more staff and vehicles. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you are paying for before you decide to book.
Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Colliers Wood, depending on our existing bookings. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details. We will check vehicle and crew availability and let you know what we can offer. While advance booking is always best, we understand that plans sometimes change quickly and we do our best to accommodate genuine urgent requirements.
What insurance cover do you provide?
We provide goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved, and public liability cover for any accidental damage to property or injury to third parties. These policies are designed to offer sensible protection for typical household and office moves. We are happy to share the policy details, including limits and exclusions, and to explain how cover applies to your particular move. If you have especially high value items, please mention them when you enquire so we can advise appropriately.
What is included in your removals service?
Our standard service includes the vehicle, a professional moving team, loading, secure transport and unloading into your new property. We also provide basic protection such as furniture blankets and covers, and we place items in the rooms you request. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture by agreement, and help arranging storage. Everything that is included will be clearly listed in your written quotation, so there are no surprises on the day.
How is a removals company different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service may be suitable for very small, simple moves, but it usually lacks the structure, protection and insurance of a professional removals company. We provide trained crews, proper equipment, planned schedules and documented insurance cover. We also carry out surveys for larger moves and offer full packing, dismantling and reassembly where needed. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, and gives you a more reliable, accountable service throughout your move.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Ideally, you should book your removals date as soon as you know your completion or handover date, particularly for Fridays and month-end, which are always busiest. For most standard moves, two to four weeks’ notice gives us enough time to schedule your survey, confirm details and plan the crew and vehicle allocation. However, if you have a shorter timescale, it is still worth contacting us, as we may have availability or be able to suggest practical options that fit your situation.
