Local Expertise in Greenwich

Working in Greenwich day in, day out means we understand local streets, parking restrictions, building access and typical property layouts. From period terraces and riverside apartments to new-build developments, we plan your move around the realities of the area.

We liaise with you about loading access, lift use, time restrictions and permits where needed. This local knowledge helps avoid delays, protects your belongings and keeps move day running smoothly.

What We Can and Can’t Move

Items typically included

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers
• Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment and home office kit

• Live animals and pets
• Illegal items of any kind
• Very high-value items (e.g. fine art, jewellery) without prior discussion
• Pianos, safes or specialist machinery without advance arrangements

If you have an item you are unsure about, we encourage you to mention it during your enquiry so we can advise and, where possible, make safe arrangements.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & quote

Everything starts with a conversation. You can call or email us with the basic details of your move: addresses, property type, approximate volume and preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation estimate. Where more detail is needed, we move on to a survey.

2. Survey (virtual or onsite)

To ensure accurate pricing and the right size vehicle and team, we carry out either an onsite visit in Greenwich or a virtual video survey. We assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and any fragile or bulky items. This allows us to plan correctly so there are no surprises on move day.

3. Packing & preparation

Depending on your needs, we can supply professional packing materials or provide a full packing service. Our trained teams wrap furniture, protect mattresses, and carefully box fragile items. We label everything clearly so it ends up in the correct room at your new property. If you prefer to pack yourself, we still advise on best practice.

4. Loading & transport

On move day we arrive on time, walk through the plan with you, and begin loading. Floors, doors and banisters are protected where required. Items are loaded in a logical order and secured with professional restraints inside the vehicle. Your goods are then transported directly to your new address, covered by our goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & placement

At your new property, we unload systematically, placing boxes and furniture into the correct rooms as directed. We reassemble items we dismantled, and conduct a final check with you to ensure everything is where it should be. Only once you are satisfied do we consider the job complete.

Transparent Pricing for Removal Services

We price our removal services fairly and transparently. Costs are based on:

• Volume or size of the move
• Distance between properties
• Access difficulty (stairs, parking, long carries)
• Level of service (packing, dismantling, reassembly, materials)
• Timing (weekdays, weekends, or out-of-hours moves)

You receive a detailed written quote so you understand exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (for example, for storage or long carry distances) are explained clearly in advance.

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

While it can be tempting to hire a casual van or attempt a DIY move, these options often end up more stressful, time-consuming and risky.

• Our professional teams are trained in safe lifting and loading, reducing the risk of damage or injury.
• We provide goods in transit insurance, which many casual services simply do not offer.
• We use proper equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys and covers – to protect your belongings and property.
• We plan the move thoroughly, so you are not making last-minute trips or struggling with oversized furniture.

The result is a smoother move, less disruption to your life or business, and greater protection for your possessions.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously and work to recognised industry standards.

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicles
• Public liability cover for peace of mind on your property and communal areas
• Trained moving teams who follow safe handling and health & safety procedures

Full details of cover levels and terms are available with every quote so you know exactly how you are protected.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Looking after your possessions is at the heart of what we do. We use padded covers, furniture blankets, mattress protectors and proper wrapping techniques to minimise the risk of damage. Floors and banisters can be protected on request.

We also work to reduce waste and our environmental impact where possible. Reusable crates, careful route planning and encouraging the reuse or recycling of packing materials all help make your move more sustainable.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving house within Greenwich

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving closer to schools or transport, we regularly move households between Greenwich’s many neighbourhoods. We are familiar with local parking and access challenges, which helps keep your move efficient.

Office relocation

For businesses, we plan moves to minimise downtime. This can involve phased moves, evening or weekend work and careful handling of IT equipment and paperwork. We work closely with your team so staff know what to expect on move day.

Urgent and short-notice moves

Sometimes moves happen faster than expected – a completion date is brought forward, or a tenancy changes quickly. Where our schedule allows, we provide urgent or same-day removal services, still maintaining the same standards of care and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removal services in Greenwich cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, distance, access and the level of service you choose. A simple one-bedroom flat move within Greenwich will typically cost significantly less than a large family home moving across the country. After an initial discussion and, if needed, a survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras; all labour, mileage and agreed services are set out in advance.

Can you offer same-day or urgent removal services?

Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate urgent or short-notice moves in Greenwich and the surrounding areas. Availability will depend on existing bookings and the scale of your move, but we always try to help in time-sensitive situations such as last-minute tenancy changes or unexpected completion dates. Contact us as soon as you know you may need a rapid move, and we will quickly advise what is possible, along with an honest timescale and cost estimate.

What insurance cover do you provide during the move?

Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability insurance for work on your property and in communal areas. This provides protection in the unlikely event of damage or an accident during the move. Specific cover levels and terms are included with your written quote. If you have particularly high-value items, please let us know in advance so we can discuss appropriate arrangements and any additional cover if required.

What is included in a typical removal service?

A standard removal service includes loading your boxed and prepared belongings, protecting and moving furniture, transporting everything to your new property, then unloading and placing items into the correct rooms. We supply the vehicle, fuel, equipment and a trained team. Optional extras include packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, provision of packing materials, and coordination with storage. Your written quote will list precisely what is included so you can see the full scope of service before you confirm the booking.

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

A casual man-and-van usually offers basic transport only, often without formal training, proper insurance or detailed planning. Our professional removal service provides trained staff, appropriate vehicles, protective equipment, and documented insurance cover. We survey your property where needed, plan access, and manage the entire process from start to finish. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays or disputes, and typically results in a far smoother, less stressful moving experience.

How far in advance should I book my removal in Greenwich?

Ideally, we recommend booking your removal service 2–4 weeks in advance, particularly if you are moving on a Friday, weekend or at the end of the month, when demand is highest. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy arrangements can change, so we try to remain flexible. If you have a provisional date, it is worth contacting us early so we can pencil you in and adjust as details firm up. For short-notice moves, call us and we will advise on current availability.
