Volition Removals — Leatherhead
Moving to or from Leatherhead? If so, we can help.
Leatherhead
On the banks of the River Mole in Surrey, Leatherhead is a popular place to move to. It is only about an hour by car to central London, and often just as quick by public transport, which appeals to many. Just outside the M25, it also has great links to the rest of the South East and beyond. The town has been settled since the Iron Age, but it really began to grow in the Saxon period, from around 880. It has been part of London's commuter belt since the railways arrived in the nineteenth century, yet it keeps a strong identity of its own.
With plenty of good housing, man and van removals are a popular way to relocate here. If you are looking for house removals in Leatherhead, or simply want some large items moved, Volition Removals can help. With local knowledge to keep the job efficient, there is no better choice.

Booking our man and van service is easy. Fill out our contact form and we will respond, or give us a call. Either way, we discuss your requirements so we can work out the likely cost. This is based on the size of your home, how many belongings you have and the distance involved. You can then book, though you are under no obligation to proceed. Here is how it works:
Not everyone moving from a Leatherhead address will need to suspend a parking bay outside their home, as many houses have off-street parking. But if you live on a street where on-street parking cannot be guaranteed, you will need to suspend a bay. It is best to contact Mole Valley Council in advance to reserve your spot for moving day.
The Volition Removals moving house checklist is a must-read for anyone in Leatherhead planning a move. It offers essential advice on what to do before you move, plus tips on what to prioritise on the day. That way you can stay focused on the jobs that count, even when you are busy. And remember, we have carried out many Leatherhead moves before, so you can ask our team for advice too.
Leatherhead
Removals in Leatherhead do not always need a large truck. In fact, our man and van service is more than enough for most house moves. Even for a larger property, we can adapt by providing bigger vans and more men when needed.
This flexibility is why so many local residents have booked us before, just take a look at our reviews. We are regularly complimented on our professionalism, prompt arrivals and care with belongings. That is as true in Leatherhead as in the surrounding towns and villages. We can help with removals in Fetcham, Ashtead and Cobham too, to name just three.

Leatherhead
Living in Leatherhead means the best of both worlds. As mentioned, it is close enough to central London to be handy for work or a theatre trip. Yet it is far enough out to feel like the leafy market town it is. Even so, moving here never feels dull, as some commuter towns can, especially after city life.
Why? For a start, Leatherhead has a strong economy of its own. Companies such as ExxonMobil, Robert Dyas and Unilever all have a significant presence in the town. There are also plenty of good school places, something many people relocating here want to know, even before they have children.
There is plenty to keep you entertained, too, with numerous sports clubs, pubs and restaurants. The town even has its own live theatre on Church Street. In short, we love Leatherhead because:

Good packing materials matter just as much for removals in Leatherhead as anywhere else. You need to use them properly, and for their intended purpose. Skimping on inferior products is a false economy. On request, we will provide:
Moving to or from Leatherhead may also mean downsizing. If so, you might want some temporary storage. Even if you are not moving to a smaller property, stowing a few items away can make sense, giving you time to get organised in your new home. We offer a number of useful storage solutions for our clients. Ask us to:
No hidden fees, a simple hourly rate based on the crew you need. Weekends are charged at +10%.

Our man and van service is exactly what many local residents are looking for. With plenty of experience driving in and around the town, we work quickly, worth knowing, as jobs are charged by the hour. From Reigate Road in the south to Kingston Road in the north, our team gets the job done smoothly.
Our Luton vans suit larger house removals. If you are moving out of the town to somewhere in the capital, one is likely to be enough. A man and van also suits people who currently live in London and have found a new home here. Either way, the service is at your disposal.

Volition Removals can also be called on for house clearance work. There are many reasons you might need one. Perhaps you have already moved and need your old address cleared, or you are a landlord wanting a property cleared after a tenancy. You might also have inherited a property to clear after the death of a family member. Whatever the reason, we do a professional job for Leatherhead residents every time.
Leatherhead is not a university town, but it certainly has students. Some attend the University for the Creative Arts, while others are among Kingston University's intake. Our man and van service is ideal for students, and thanks to its low cost and flexibility, many make use of it. Ask us to estimate the cost of moving you from Leatherhead to new student accommodation for the coming term.
Our removals services let us move a huge range of belongings, large and small. For example, you can book us to move sculptures, framed artworks or even musical instruments. Our experienced operatives have done this sort of work before. We have even moved pieces by very famous names. You can also book us to collect antiques from your home and transport them, or to pick up antiques you have won at auction and bring them to you.
Many people buy flat pack furniture but struggle to put it together. As a removals firm, we take such furniture apart and reassemble it all the time. That is why we offer a flat pack assembly service in Leatherhead. Call us to find out how little it might cost to do the job for you.

We charge a simple hourly rate rather than a fixed day rate, so you only pay for the time your move actually takes. One man and a van is £55 + VAT per hour, two men and a van £75 + VAT per hour, and three men and a van £95 + VAT per hour. As a guide, a typical two-bedroom move in Leatherhead takes around five to six hours including travel. For an accurate figure, ask us for a free no-obligation quote or a video assessment of your property.
Most two-bedroom properties take two to three hours to load and one to two hours to unload, plus the driving time between the two addresses. Access makes a real difference: stairs, lifts and how far the van has to park from your door all add time. Tell us about both properties when you book and we will give you a realistic estimate rather than an optimistic one.
As much as you can give us, booking as soon as your date is confirmed is the surest way to get the slot you want. That said, we keep our schedule as flexible as we can and we regularly take on moves at a few days' notice, so it is always worth asking even if your date is close.
If you have a driveway or off-street parking at both addresses, no. Otherwise we strongly recommend one: the closer the van can park, the faster the job goes and the less it costs you. Suspensions are arranged through the local council for Leatherhead and usually need several working days' notice, so apply as soon as your date is fixed, and remember to arrange one at the address you are moving to as well.
Yes. We carry £30,000 of goods-in-transit cover and £1m of public liability insurance as standard. If you are moving something worth more than the standard cover, tell us in advance and we will extend it for your job. Most household contents policies exclude damage in transit, which is exactly the gap this cover fills.
No. Most customers prefer to be there, but we can carry out the whole move in your absence as long as we have access to both properties, keys, entry codes and alarm details arranged in advance. Tell us where things should go and we will unload into the right rooms.
Yes. Packing is a standard service charged at the same hourly rate, and we can supply boxes, tape and protective materials ahead of the day. We can pack a whole property or just the awkward parts, kitchens, glassware and artwork are the usual candidates.
We dismantle and reassemble beds and flat-pack furniture as a matter of course, and we can build items for your new home too. Please disconnect washing machines and dishwashers, and defrost the fridge and freezer, the day before if you can. If you would rather not, ask us and a member of the team will do it on the day.
Yes. We run 3.5t Luton box vans rather than small transit vans, and the service scales, for a larger property we simply put more crew and more vehicles on the job. Three- and four-bedroom houses are routine work for us.
Yes. Storage is useful when your dates do not line up, when you are downsizing, or when you would rather move in stages. We can store what you do not need immediately and deliver it on to your new address when you are ready for it.
We take a 25% deposit for domestic moves and 50% for business moves to secure your date. The balance is due on completion, once everything has been unloaded at your new address. We accept credit and debit cards.
Yes. Weekend availability is more limited and is charged at a 10% surcharge, so a midweek move is usually better value, but if Saturday or Sunday is the only date that works, book early and we will do our best to fit you in.
Moving dates slip; we understand that. Change or cancel with 11 or more days' notice and there is no charge, if you cancel outright, your deposit is returned within 10 working days. With 10 days' notice or fewer, the deposit covers the booking we have held for you.
