We have carried out thousands of moves across Chiswick, from riverside apartments near Chiswick Mall to mansion blocks off Turnham Green Terrace. Our crews know the local roads, parking rules and building management requirements, which means a smoother, quicker move for you.

Who Our Flat Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling or buying a flat in Chiswick, we offer a complete removal service, including full packing, dismantling and reassembly of beds and wardrobes, and careful protection of high-value items. We work closely with your completion times so you are out on time and in on time.
Renters
For tenants moving between rented flats, we provide flexible, cost-effective moves. We can help with part removals, single-room moves and short-notice relocations, and we take care to leave your property clean and undamaged to help protect your deposit.
Landlords
Landlords use our flat clearance and removals support when tenants change. We can remove furniture, store items between tenancies, or deliver new furnishings to furnished lets, all while keeping disruption to neighbours to a minimum.
Businesses
Many businesses operate from flats or small offices above shops in Chiswick. We manage office-to-flat and flat-to-office relocations, moving IT equipment, filing and furniture with proper protection and labelling so you can get back to work quickly.
Students
Students in shared flats or halls often need small, efficient moves. We offer affordable options for moving a room’s worth of belongings, including suitcases, boxes, bikes and desks, to or from Chiswick and surrounding areas.

Our Flat Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the details of your move: addresses, flat floor level, lift access, parking and the size of your property. Based on this, we provide an initial estimate or arrange a more detailed survey. We offer fixed-price quotes for clearly defined moves, so you know your costs upfront.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most flat removals, we recommend a short video or onsite survey. We walk through each room, check staircases, lifts and corridors, and discuss any awkward items. This allows us to allocate the right number of movers, the right size vehicle and the correct protective materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Full packing service – we pack everything for you, including fragile items.
- Partial packing – you pack most items; we handle breakables, artwork and special items.
- Self-packing – we supply boxes and materials, and you pack at your own pace.
On moving day, we protect your flat with floor coverings, door and bannister protection, and we wrap furniture to prevent damage to both your belongings and the building.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained moving team carefully carries items through corridors, stairwells and lifts, using specialist equipment where needed. Everything is securely loaded and tied in our vehicles. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while we transport them to your new address.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new flat, we place items in the rooms you specify, reassemble agreed furniture and remove our packing materials and waste. Before we leave, we invite you to check that everything is in the right place and that you are happy with the service.
Transparent Pricing for Flat Removals
Flat removals in Chiswick are priced based on:
- Property size (e.g. studio, 1-bed, 2-bed)
- Volume of belongings
- Access (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle, parking restrictions)
- Distance between addresses
- Services required (packing, dismantling, storage)
We offer clear, written quotations with no hidden charges. Parking, congestion and other likely costs are discussed in advance. For smaller or straightforward moves, we may offer a clear hourly rate with a minimum booking period, explained in plain language.
Why Choose Professional Movers Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Flat moves often involve tight staircases, awkward corners and strict time slots. Attempting it yourself or with an informal man-and-van can lead to damaged furniture, scratched walls or even injuries. With Chiswick Movers you benefit from:
- Professional handling and lifting techniques
- Appropriate tools and protective materials
- Reliable arrival times and planned schedules
- Fully insured vehicles and operations
- Experienced crews used to dealing with managing agents and building rules
In most cases, professional movers save you time, reduce stress and minimise the risk of unexpected costs from damage or delays.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. All moves are covered by:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our vehicles.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and the building in the unlikely event of accidental damage.
Our teams are trained in safe lifting, packing, and the use of protective equipment. We follow industry best practice for wrapping, stacking and securing loads so that your belongings arrive in the same condition they left.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are bagged, and fragile pieces are individually protected. We also take care of your building, using door and corner protectors where needed to keep communal areas unmarked.
Where possible, we use reusable protective materials and durable crates, and we recycle used cardboard and packing materials. We plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions, while still meeting your timing requirements.
Real-World Flat Removal Use Cases
Moving House Between Flats
From a one-bedroom flat off Chiswick High Road to a larger place in another part of West London, we handle the full move, including disassembly, packing and reassembly, with minimal disruption to neighbours.
Office and Home Office Relocations
If you run a business from your flat, we can move office furniture, files and IT equipment to dedicated commercial space or another home, coordinating around your trading hours to keep downtime low.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes completion dates change or tenancies are confirmed at short notice. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or next-day flat removals in Chiswick. We prioritise clear communication so that even last-minute moves are carried out safely and efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a flat removal in Chiswick cost?
The cost depends on the size of your flat, the volume of belongings, access conditions and the distance between properties. As a rough guide, a small local studio move will cost less than a fully packed 2-bedroom flat relocation. After a short discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote, either at a fixed price or on an hourly rate where appropriate. There are no hidden extras; any potential charges, such as parking or congestion fees, are explained before you book.
Can you handle same-day or urgent flat removals?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent moves, especially within Chiswick and nearby areas, depending on crew and vehicle availability. If your completion date has shifted or a tenancy has been confirmed late, call us as soon as possible. We will check our schedule, explain what is realistically achievable and prioritise the essentials so you can be safely moved. While advance booking is recommended, we understand that plans change and we do our best to accommodate genuine emergencies.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for work in and around your property. During your quotation, we explain the key terms and limits in plain language and can provide documentation on request. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may suggest additional cover or specific handling arrangements to make sure everything is properly protected throughout the move.
What is included in your flat removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture and boxed belongings between properties. We protect furniture, use floor and door coverings where needed and place items in the rooms you choose. You can add optional services such as full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembling furniture, supply of packing materials and short- or long-term storage. All inclusions and any optional extras are listed clearly in your written quotation so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, simple jobs, but a professional removal service offers much more. With us, you get trained staff, proper protective materials, detailed planning, full insurance and clear communication throughout. We are used to dealing with flat access issues, building managers and time restrictions, which helps avoid damage, delays or disputes. For anything beyond the simplest move, professional removals usually offer better value, less stress and greater protection for your belongings and the building.
How far in advance should I book my flat removal?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially during busy periods such as month-end and school holidays. Many clients reserve their removal slot one to four weeks ahead. That said, we always try to accommodate short-notice moves where our schedule allows. Early booking gives you the best choice of dates and times, and allows us to arrange parking suspensions or lift bookings if required by your building in Chiswick or your destination address.
