Volition Removals — Slough
Relocating to or from Slough? If so, let us help.
Slough
Slough is one of the largest towns in Berkshire and sits within easy reach of London, which makes it a popular place to live. At Volition Removals, we carry out plenty of home removals here. Whether you already live in the town and want to move to a new address, or you are relocating from elsewhere, we can help. Our man and van service is flexible enough to handle a property of any size.
With several major employers and sought-after residential areas, Slough's property market is usually buoyant. Its location close to the M25, the M4 and the M40 also makes it convenient for anyone who travels for work, with easy access to the Midlands, the West Country and the capital by road or rail. Its proximity to Heathrow Airport is another draw for many people.
From single items to full houses, pick the service that fits and we'll handle the rest.
Full and part house moves across London and the home counties, planned door to door.

We've made it easy to book a house removal in Slough. Start by completing our contact form or giving us a call. We'll then assess the resources your move needs, for example, whether one van and two operatives will do, or whether several vans are required. A brief phone conversation is often enough. For a larger property, a video call may help us work out the likely cost. In short, we will:
You won't need a parking bay suspension where off-street parking is guaranteed, but in other parts of the town it's a good idea. If you're moving out of a terraced street, for instance, it's essential for a smooth move. Arrange your suspension as soon as you've booked, so you get a spot as close to your address as possible. Parking suspensions must be requested from Slough Borough Council.
Whether you're moving to or from Slough, our moving house checklist is worth a read. It's full of advice you won't easily find elsewhere, and it should help your move go smoothly, whether you're moving one room's worth of belongings or an entire house. Referring to it in the run-up to your move is one of the best tips we can offer.
Slough
We offer a versatile removals service across Slough and the surrounding area. You can order just the number of vans and operatives you need, without paying for more, which keeps costs down while still getting the job done quickly.
Because of this, our service suits small, medium and large moves alike. Our local knowledge of the town, from Cippenham to Langley, means we get the job done without unnecessary fuss.
If you have any doubts, our testimonials speak for our:
Slough
Slough is one of the most diverse towns in the county, which many residents value. It is also home to a number of corporate headquarters, so there are good employment opportunities close by.
The town is officially part of the Greater London Urban Area, yet it stays leafy, with plenty of open space. Despite the ease of getting into central London, it remains a great place to raise a family, with lots of good schools to choose from.
There is also plenty to do. Alongside sports clubs, bars and restaurants, you'll find an ice arena and a large cinema. We enjoy moves here because:
Slough
We can provide a full packing service for clients who don't have the time or mobility to pack themselves. Perhaps you just need an extra pair of hands, or you'll be out of the country in the run-up to your move. Whatever the reason, we'll do a careful job.
Most of our work involves house removals, but we handle office removals too, with the same professionalism. We can time appointments to suit your business, and our operatives are experienced in moving office equipment such as computers, phone systems and photocopiers.
From Salt Hill Park to the Slough Trading Estate and beyond, we handle furniture removals. This is useful if you aren't moving home but need bulky items shifted, perhaps you've sold a sofa or want a mattress taken to the tip. Booking our man and van service means:
Not everyone packs with suitable materials, and it's often regretted later. When moving in Slough, we'd recommend good-quality packaging, and we can supply exactly what you need to keep your items safe. We provide:
We can also provide a range of temporary storage options in Slough, all convenient and affordable whichever you choose. If you need storage before or after a move, we can:
No hidden fees, a simple hourly rate based on the crew you need. Weekends are charged at +10%.
Slough
Our removals service is built around a straightforward man and van approach. Simply order the number of vans and removal operatives you need, and we'll take care of the rest.
Our Luton vans suit people with larger belongings or a lot to move, while smaller vans work well for lighter jobs. Either way, you get a professional service at an affordable price.
Ask about a man and van removal if:
House clearance work often calls for sensitivity, as many clearances follow the death of a family member. If you'd like this handled compassionately in Slough, we can help. Landlords can also book us to clear items after a tenancy has ended. We carry out clearances across every part of the town.
Plenty of students live in Slough. The town is home to the Slough College of Business Management, and it is also convenient for Brunel University in West London and the Wolfson Institute of Health Sciences. Many students want easy access to an affordable moving service, and that's exactly what our man and van operation offers.
Alongside house removals, we handle more specialist work. If you have a piece of fine art to move, our man and van service is at your disposal. We can also handle antiques such as dining sets, chaise longues and sideboards. As you'd expect, we take extra care with valuable and one-off items, as our reviews show.
A lot of furniture now comes in flat-pack form. We disassemble and reassemble it regularly as part of our house removals, so we know it well. Rather than struggling with it yourself, book us to assemble your flat-pack furniture. We'll do a solid job and take care of any heavy lifting too.

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 Slough 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 Slough 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.
