Our home moving service is a complete, door-to-door solution. We can handle as much or as little of the work as you’d like, including:
- Standard house removals – full household contents moved safely to your new address
- Part-load / small moves – ideal for flats, house shares, and downsizing

- Internal moves – room-to-room reshuffles and on-site moves
We plan each move around access, parking, and your timings, so the day runs smoothly from first box to final placement.
Local House Removals Expertise in Chiswick
Working in Chiswick and the surrounding areas every day means we understand the challenges of moving here: tight terrace streets, controlled parking zones, mansion blocks, and busy main roads like Chiswick High Road.
Our team is used to:
- Arranging parking suspensions and permits where required
- Navigating narrow staircases and period conversions
- Co-ordinating with building managers and concierges
- Planning routes to avoid congestion where possible
This local knowledge helps us protect your belongings, reduce delays, and keep your neighbours onside.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form. We’ll ask a few questions about your current property, destination, access, and what you’re moving. From there, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what’s included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit. We assess the volume of goods, parking, stairs, lifts and any special items, then confirm the vehicle size, crew numbers and timings needed.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything
- Fragile-only packing – we pack delicate items, you pack the rest
- Self-packing – we can supply boxes and materials if required
We use quality cartons, bubble wrap and furniture blankets, and we protect floors and banisters as needed.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you, and begins loading systematically. Furniture is wrapped and protected, boxes are stacked securely, and everything is inventoried where required. Your belongings are transported in our sign-written vehicles under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes exactly where you want them. If agreed, we reassemble furniture and position large items so you can settle in more quickly. Before leaving, we check that you’re happy with the placement and nothing has been overlooked.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of goods to be moved
- Access at both properties (floors, lifts, walking distances)
- Travel distance and any tolls or parking charges
- Level of service (packing, dismantling, reassembly)
- Number of movers and vehicles required
All costs are explained in plain language before you book. If your circumstances change, we’ll update the quote so you always know where you stand.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van?
Hiring a casual van or doing it yourself can look cheaper on paper, but often leads to damage, delays and stress. With Chiswick Movers you get:
- Trained staff who understand safe lifting, packing and loading
- Proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Planning support for access, parking and timing
- Specialist equipment – trolleys, straps, ramps and protective covers
- A written booking confirmation and agreed schedule
This reduces the risk of breakages, injury, or disputes, and gives you someone accountable to turn to if any issues arise.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. As a professional removals company:
- Your belongings are protected by goods in transit insurance while they’re with us
- We hold public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Our moving teams are trained in handling, packing and customer care
- Vehicles are equipped with protective blankets, straps and tools
Full details of cover, limits and terms are available with your quotation so you can make an informed decision.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every home as if it were our own. That means:
- Using covers and floor protection to avoid marks and scrapes
- Wrapping furniture and fragile items carefully
- Loading methodically to reduce movement in transit
We’re also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible we:
- Reuse durable boxes and materials
- Offer box collection for reuse after your move
- Plan efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage

Moving House Within Chiswick
From one side of Chiswick to the other, we regularly move families between terraced houses, riverside apartments and garden flats, working within school and work schedules.

We help small offices and home-based businesses move desks, filing, stock and IT equipment securely, with clear labelling so you can get back up and running quickly.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves can’t be planned months ahead. Where our schedule allows, we offer urgent and short-notice moves, working quickly to put a sensible plan in place.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Chiswick cost?
The cost of a house removal in Chiswick depends on several factors: the volume of your belongings, property access, distance between addresses, and whether you need packing, dismantling or reassembly. Smaller flat moves may be priced on a set half-day or full-day rate, while larger houses are usually quoted individually after a survey. We always provide a clear, written quotation with no obligation and no hidden extras such as unexpected weekend surcharges. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us for a tailored quote.
Can you do same-day or urgent removals?
We can often help with same-day or urgent removals, particularly for smaller moves, but it depends on our existing bookings and crew availability. If you’re in a hurry, call us as soon as possible with your dates, addresses and a rough list of items. We’ll check our schedule, advise what’s realistic, and suggest practical options, such as part loads or splitting work over two visits. While more notice usually gives you better choice and pricing, we understand that not every move can be planned months in advance.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work in and around your home. This is designed to protect you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or loss. We’ll explain the main terms, conditions and limits of cover when we provide your quotation, and you’re welcome to ask for clarification on any specific items. For particularly high-value belongings, we may recommend noting them separately so they can be assessed properly.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard service includes loading all agreed items, transporting them to your new address and unloading into the rooms you specify. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, use appropriate lifting equipment, and place items carefully to avoid damage. Optional extras include packing services, dismantling and rebuilding furniture, supplying packing materials and disposing of unwanted packaging after the move. Parking charges or permits are normally charged at cost, but these will always be explained clearly in advance so you know exactly what’s included.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service usually offers transport only, often without formal insurance, surveys or planning support. As a professional removals company, we provide trained crews, appropriate insurance, written booking confirmations and a structured process from survey to completion. We bring the right size vehicles, equipment and protective materials, and we plan around access, timings and any special requirements. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute problems, and gives you a clear point of contact if anything needs attention before, during or after your move.
How far in advance should I book my house removal?
For most house moves, we recommend booking as soon as your moving date is reasonably certain, particularly if you’re moving on a Friday, weekend, or at month-end when demand is highest. Many customers book two to four weeks ahead, but we regularly accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. If you don’t yet have an exact date, we can still provide a provisional quote and discuss likely availability, then confirm once your solicitor or landlord finalises the details.
