What We Cannot Move

For safety, legal or insurance reasons, there are some items we are unable to carry:

• Illegal goods or items that cannot be legally transported

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you during the survey so you have time to make alternative arrangements.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact Man with Van Blackheath by phone, email or our online form and tell us the basics: current and new addresses, property size, approximate contents and your ideal move date. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us, explaining what is included and any options we recommend.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a very small move, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, stairs or lifts, and the volume of goods. A proper survey means the right number of movers, the right size vehicle and enough time booked, helping to avoid surprises on the day and keeping costs transparent.

3. Packing & Preparation

If you choose our packing service, our team arrives in advance or early on move day with all necessary materials. We pack room by room, label boxes clearly and provide extra protection for fragile items such as glassware, mirrors and artwork. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can still supply quality packing materials and guidance on how best to prepare.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained crew arrives on time, walks through the plan with you, and begins carefully loading the vehicle. We use padded blankets, floor protection (where appropriate), and securing straps to keep everything safe during transit. Your goods are then transported directly to your new home, or via storage if arranged.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload systematically and place boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled and ensure key items such as beds, sofas and major appliances are in position before we leave. We encourage you to do a final walk-through so any small adjustments can be made there and then.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

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

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
• Travel distance between addresses
• Number of movers required and estimated time
• Any extra services such as packing or storage runs

Before you book, we explain exactly what is covered and highlight anything that could change the cost, such as additional items not shown in the survey or significant delays outside our control. There are no hidden extras, and any potential additional charges are discussed in advance wherever possible.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

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

• Safety – Trained movers use correct lifting techniques and equipment, reducing the risk of injury.
• Protection – Professional wrapping, loading and stacking minimise the chance of damage.
• Efficiency – An experienced team completes moves far quicker than most DIY attempts.
• Reliability – Confirmed bookings, written agreements and fully insured vehicles.
• Accountability – Clear responsibility if something goes wrong, rather than informal arrangements.

For many customers, the time, effort and risk saved more than justify the cost of using a proper removals service.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Man with Van Blackheath takes your peace of mind seriously. We maintain:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being transported
• Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property or injury
• Trained moving teams experienced in handling fragile, bulky and awkward items

We follow industry best practice for wrapping and loading and keep our vehicles clean, well maintained and suitably equipped for domestic removals.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move as if it were our own home. That means careful planning, clear labelling and respectful handling of your possessions and property. We use protective blankets, mattress covers and floor protection where appropriate to prevent scuffs and scratches.

We are also mindful of sustainability. Wherever possible, we re-use sturdy boxes, minimise unnecessary journeys by planning routes efficiently, and encourage customers to recycle or donate unwanted items before moving, reducing waste and overall load volume.

Real-World House Removal Scenarios

• Family house moves – Multi-bedroom homes moved over one or two days, often with full packing and furniture dismantling.
• Flat and apartment moves – Managing stairwells, lifts and tight access with minimal disruption to neighbours.
• Office and home-office relocations – Moving desks, IT equipment and files with clear labelling to get you working again quickly.
• Urgent or short-notice moves – Where possible, we arrange swift support when completion dates change or other movers let you down.

Whatever your situation, we will give honest advice on the best way to handle your move, including timings, packing options and any logistical constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Blackheath cost?

The cost of a house removal depends on several factors: the size of your property, volume of belongings, distance between addresses, access (stairs, parking, lifts) and whether you need packing or dismantling services. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger house moves are usually quoted as a fixed price after a survey. We provide clear, written quotations so you know exactly what is included before you commit, and we are happy to talk through ways to keep costs within your budget.

Can you help with same-day or urgent moves?

We understand that not every move can be planned weeks in advance. Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Blackheath and nearby areas. Availability will depend on existing bookings, the size of the job and how far we need to travel. If you need an urgent move, contact us as soon as possible with details of your addresses and contents. Even if we cannot cover everything, we may be able to offer a partial solution or suggest practical alternatives.

What insurance cover do you provide?

All removals carried out by Man with Van Blackheath are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or injury to third parties. We are happy to explain the key terms and any limits or exclusions before you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend you check cover with your own home insurer so you have complete peace of mind during the move.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of all agreed items, with protective blankets and securing equipment used as needed. We place boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble standard furniture if agreed in advance. Optional extras include professional packing, supply of packing materials, and trips to or from storage. We will confirm exactly what is included in your written quote so there is no confusion on moving day, and you can add or remove services to suit your needs.

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

A casual man-and-van is often suitable for very small, simple moves, but there is usually limited backup if something goes wrong. A professional removals service like ours offers trained staff, proper planning, insurance cover, correct equipment and a clear contract. We assess access, provide realistic timings, bring enough movers for the job and know how to move heavy or fragile items safely. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, and generally makes the whole experience smoother and less stressful.

How far in advance should I book my move?

Ideally, we recommend booking your house removal at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end, or during peak seasons. This gives us time to complete a survey, arrange parking suspensions if required, and plan the right resources. That said, we always try to help with shorter notice moves where our schedule allows. If your completion date is uncertain, we can pencil in a provisional booking and firm it up once your dates are confirmed with your solicitor or landlord.
