Whether you are moving a small flat, a large family home, or a busy office, our professional, locally based team will manage the heavy lifting, logistics and protection of your belongings from door to door.

What Our Removal Services Include

Our core removal service is a complete, carefully managed moving solution. We tailor each move to the property, access, and your timescales, but a typical service includes:

• Collection from one or multiple addresses
• Protective wrapping of furniture and delicate items
• Disassembly and reassembly of larger items where required
• Safe loading, transport and unloading
• Placement of items into the rooms you specify
• Optional packing and unpacking services

Every move is carried out by trained, uniformed staff using correctly equipped vehicles, moving blankets, straps and specialist tools to keep your belongings secure in transit.

Local Expertise in Chiswick and West London

Being based in Chiswick means we know the local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. This local knowledge allows us to plan realistic timings, choose the right size of vehicle and avoid common access issues that can delay a move.

We regularly handle removals to and from:

• Period houses and townhouses off Chiswick High Road
• Flats and apartments near Turnham Green, Gunnersbury and Chiswick Park
• Riverside properties along the Thames
• Local offices, studios and retail premises

We can also coordinate moves between Chiswick and anywhere else in the UK, ensuring a consistent level of care from start to finish.

Who Our Removal Services Are For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, our home removals are designed to protect your furniture, appliances and personal possessions. We work carefully around your property, protecting floors, bannisters and doorways.

Renters

Moving between rented flats and houses usually involves tight timescales and limited lift access or parking. We plan moves around check-in/check-out times and help ensure you leave the property in good order for handover.

Landlords

For landlords, we offer efficient furniture removals and clearances between tenancies, as well as partial moves when changing or updating furnishings. We work neatly and respect communal areas to maintain good relationships with managing agents and neighbours.

Businesses

Our office and commercial removals focus on minimising downtime. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock and archives either during office hours or out of hours to limit disruption to your staff and customers.

Students

We regularly support students moving to and from halls or shared houses. Our smaller, more economical options allow you to move your essentials, books, and personal items safely, without the stress of hiring and driving a van yourself.

Items We Typically Move

Most everyday household and office items are covered within our standard service. This usually includes:

• Furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs, bookcases
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers
• Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors, audio equipment
• Personal possessions – clothes, books, ornaments, kitchenware
• Office items – desks, filing cabinets, printers, boxed files and stock
• Outdoor items – garden furniture, BBQs, small tools and bikes

Items We Cannot or May Not Move

To protect you, your property and our team, there are certain items we either cannot transport or can only move under specific conditions. These usually include:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, paint thinners, chemicals)
• Illegal or stolen goods
• Live animals or pets
• Perishable or open food items for long-distance moves
• High-value items such as jewellery, cash or important documents – we recommend you carry these yourself
• Large pianos or specialist machinery without prior agreement

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise before the move so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your moving details – addresses, property type, approximate volume and target date. Based on this information, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate. We are always clear about what is included and will never add hidden extras after the event.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we arrange a survey. This can be done via video call or an in-person visit. We assess access, parking, stairways, lifts and the volume of goods to be moved. This allows us to allocate the correct vehicle size, number of movers and realistic timings for your move day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between full packing, part packing (for fragile items only) or packing your own boxes. If we are packing, our team arrives with professional materials – cartons, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap and paper. We label boxes clearly and prepare furniture by wrapping and protecting it.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our professional crew arrives on time, walks through the property with you and confirms the plan. We protect vulnerable areas, then systematically load the vehicle, using blankets and straps to secure everything. Your goods are transported directly to the destination, with planned breaks only where legally required for driver safety.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new property, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. Where agreed, we reassemble furniture and ensure key items are in place so you can settle in more quickly. Before leaving, we invite you to walk around and check you are happy with everything.

Transparent Pricing and How Costs Are Calculated

Our pricing is straightforward and based on:

• Volume of goods (or number of rooms)
• Distance between addresses
• Access issues (stairs only, limited parking, long carries)
• Number of movers required
• Optional extras such as packing, materials and storage

We provide a clear written quotation outlining all expected costs in advance. If your requirements change, we update the quote and talk you through any difference. This approach avoids unpleasant surprises and allows you to compare like-for-like against other removal services.

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

Hiring a van and asking friends to help can appear cheaper, but it often leads to damage, delays and stress. A casual man-and-van service may not be fully insured, may use inadequate equipment and may not provide the manpower needed for a safe move.

By using a professional removals company such as Chiswick Movers, you benefit from:

• Experienced, trained movers who handle heavy and awkward items daily
• Correct equipment, vehicles and protective materials
• Planned timings and clear communication
• Proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and property

In many cases, once you factor in hire fees, fuel, time off work and the potential cost of damage, professional removals offer much better overall value than DIY options.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We take that responsibility seriously.

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are being moved and transported.
• Public liability cover to safeguard you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage.
• Trained, vetted staff who follow established handling and lifting techniques.

We work to professional standards for packing, loading and securing goods. Where items are particularly fragile or of high value, we will discuss the best way to protect them, including custom crating or extra packing where appropriate.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Protecting your possessions starts with using the right materials and methods. We use heavy-duty blankets, wraps and floor protection to avoid scuffs and scratches, and we plan the order in which items are loaded so that more delicate pieces are shielded.

We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Wherever possible, we:

• Reuse and recycle packing materials
• Offer collection of used boxes in good condition for reuse
• Plan routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage
• Encourage customers to donate unwanted items to local charities

This approach reduces waste while still giving you the level of protection your belongings deserve.

Common Real-World Removal Scenarios

Moving House Within Chiswick

Many of our clients move just a few streets away. We can often complete these local moves within a single day, coordinating closely with key release times and any overlap between properties.

Office Relocation

When relocating a business, we plan the move around your trading hours. This may mean staggered moves or weekend work so your team can return to a functioning workspace quickly.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes circumstances change suddenly – a sale completes faster than expected, or a tenancy start date moves. Where our schedule allows, we can organise urgent removals at short notice, still maintaining proper planning and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removal services in Chiswick typically cost?

The cost depends mainly on the volume of goods, distance, access and whether you require packing. A small local flat move might be priced on a half-day rate with a smaller team, while a large family home or office relocation will require more staff and time. After a survey, we provide a fixed quotation so you know the full cost before you commit. There are no hidden charges for stairs or standard waiting times, and any potential extras are clearly explained in advance.

Can you offer same-day or urgent removal services?

Same-day or very short-notice removals are sometimes possible, depending on our schedule and the size of the move. Smaller flat or student moves are usually easier to accommodate at short notice than large house or office relocations. If you need an urgent service, contact us as soon as possible with your dates, addresses and a rough idea of what needs moving. We will be honest about our availability and, where we can help, we will organise a realistic plan that still protects your belongings properly.

What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?

We include goods in transit insurance as standard, which covers your belongings while they are being moved and transported in our vehicles. We also carry public liability insurance, which protects you and your property in the event of accidental damage caused by our team. Full details of cover, limits and any exclusions are provided with your quotation. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional cover or specific packing methods to ensure everything is appropriately protected.

What is included in your removal service as standard?

Our standard removal service includes the vehicle, fuel, a suitably sized professional moving team, protective blankets and basic wrapping, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We also include standard disassembly and reassembly of simple items such as bed frames where agreed in advance. Optional services such as full packing, unpacking, supply of boxes and long-term storage can be added as needed. Everything we are providing will be clearly itemised in your written quotation so you know exactly what to expect.

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

A professional removals service uses trained staff, purpose-built vehicles and proper insurances. We plan the move in detail, carry out surveys, protect floors and furniture, and provide written quotations. Many man-and-van services are informal, may not be fully insured, and often work with limited equipment or manpower. While a basic van service might be adequate for a single item or very small move, using a professional company significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs, especially for full household or office relocations.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a firm move date, especially if you are moving on a busy day such as a Friday or at the end of the month. For most home moves, two to four weeks’ notice is a comfortable timeframe, allowing us to complete a survey, finalise the plan and reserve the right size team and vehicle. However, we understand dates can change. We will always do our best to accommodate late bookings or date shifts where our schedule allows.
