Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quotation

You contact us with the details of your move – addresses, property type, dates and any special requirements. We ask a few practical questions to understand the size of your move and any access issues. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with no hidden extras. For straightforward moves, we can often quote from your description and photos.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess:

Volume of furniture and boxes
Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, parking, tight corners)
Items needing dismantling or extra protection
Any time restrictions imposed by building management or local rules

The survey ensures we send the right size van, the right number of movers and the correct equipment on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you, room by room.
Part packing – we pack fragile or high-value items; you handle the rest.
Self-packing – you pack, and we provide advice and can supply packing materials on request.

We use quality cartons, bubble wrap, paper and protective blankets to keep your belongings secure. Furniture that needs it is dismantled carefully and labelled for reassembly.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time, walks through the plan with you and then starts loading methodically. We:

Protect doorways, bannisters and floors where needed
Wrap and blanket fragile or polished furniture
Secure items in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit

We then transport your belongings directly to your new address using well-maintained vehicles, driven by experienced, careful drivers.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it and reassembling anything we dismantled. We work efficiently but calmly, so you have time to decide where key pieces should go. Once everything is unloaded, we check through with you to ensure nothing has been missed and that you are happy with the placement.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Addington

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

Volume of belongings and number of rooms
Distance between properties
Access challenges (stairs, long carries, parking restrictions)
Level of service – full packing, part packing or transport only
Any additional labour or waiting time required

Once we have the information we need, we provide a written quote setting out what is included. If your plans change, just let us know as early as possible so we can update the quote and make sure the right resources are booked.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Using a professional removals company offers several important advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van service:

Safety – correct lifting techniques and equipment reduce the risk of injury.
Protection – proper wrapping, stacking and securing prevents damage.
Efficiency – an experienced team completes the move faster and with less disruption.
Planning – we anticipate access issues, parking and timings in advance.
Insurance – your belongings are covered by appropriate policies.

For many customers, the reduced stress and time saved more than justify the cost of a professional move.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. Man with Van Addington is fully covered with:

Goods in transit insurance – to protect your belongings while they are in our vehicle.
Public liability cover – to protect against accidental damage to property or third parties.

Our moving teams are trained in safe handling, stacking, and protection techniques. We follow clear procedures for loading, inventory checks where required, and careful handling of fragile items. You deal with a named contact, and we are happy to answer any questions about how your possessions will be looked after.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move as if we were handling our own belongings. That means:

Using clean blankets, straps and protection materials on each job
Wrapping and securing furniture to avoid scuffs and scratches
Keeping floors and walls protected where necessary

We also take a practical approach to sustainability. Wherever possible, we reuse strong cartons and protective materials, and we plan routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage. If you have boxes or materials in good condition after your move, we can often collect and reuse them, helping to reduce waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Addington cost?

The cost depends on the volume of your belongings, the distance between addresses, the level of service you choose and any access challenges. Smaller flat moves within Addington are typically charged on a fixed price or half-day basis, while larger house moves may require a full-day team. After a brief discussion – and survey for bigger moves – we provide a clear written quote outlining everything included, so you know the cost before you commit and can budget with confidence.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, where our schedule allows, we can handle same-day or short-notice moves in Addington. Urgent bookings depend on van and crew availability, so it is best to call us as early as possible in the day. For emergency moves, we may ask for photos or a quick video call to assess what is required. We then confirm a realistic arrival window, explain any time-related charges, and work with you to prioritise key items if time is tight.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, and public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. Our team takes great care to prevent issues in the first place, using proper wrapping and loading techniques, but it is reassuring to know there is cover in place. We are happy to explain the scope and limits of our policies and how they apply to your particular move.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard service includes loading your furniture and packed boxes, protecting key items with blankets or wrap, transporting them to your new address and unloading into the rooms you choose. We can also dismantle and reassemble basic furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include full packing, part packing, supply of packing materials and disposal of unwanted items. Your written quote will set out exactly what is included for your move so there are no surprises on the day.

What is the difference between your removals service and a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited labour, planning, or protection for your belongings. Our professional removals service includes trained staff, appropriate insurance, proper packing and securing of loads, and a structured plan for your move. We assess access, send the right team size, and provide support before, during and after the move. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs, and usually makes moving day far less stressful.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

For most moves, we recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday or at the end of the month, when demand is highest. That said, we know completion dates and tenancy start dates can change, so we try to be as flexible as possible. If you are working towards an uncertain date, contact us early so we can pencil you in and then firm up the booking once your date is confirmed.
