Booking with Volition Removals is simple. Whether you want a man and van or a full house removal team, we have the manpower. Call us or fill in our web form with a few details so we can:
Unless you can guarantee off-street parking at both your current home and the property you're moving to, you should book a parking bay suspension. Without one, the whole job takes much longer, as carrying your possessions down the street to the van isn't an efficient way to move. The London Borough of Richmond arranges these suspensions, and there's a fixed administration fee of £123.90 to pay.
We've produced a handy moving house checklist for our customers. Take a look six weeks or so before your move, so you can start preparing and avoid leaving everything to the last minute. It's all part of the service, whether you choose a man and van or a full removals team.

If you want a removals company with genuine local knowledge, Volition Removals is for you. We work all over the capital but spend much of our time helping people move in and around Twickenham. From Strawberry Hill to St Margarets and beyond, we know the local residential streets.
We also know Twickenham can get very congested, and that the A305 and the A316 sometimes need to be avoided. When they do, we'll plan an alternative route so your move isn't unduly delayed, whether you're moving within Twickenham, to it or from it.
As a local business, we cover your belongings up to £30,000 while they're in transit, and we carry public liability insurance up to £1m, which not all local firms can say.

Twickenham
Set on the River Thames, Twickenham is famous as the home of the Rugby Football Union in England. This historic town is also well known for its many 18th-century buildings and its extensive shopping. It's one of the most sought-after residential areas in London, with road and rail links to central London, Heathrow Airport, Gatwick Airport and the south coast. It's easy to see why most residents stay local when they move.

Packing up your possessions can be time-consuming and stressful, so why not let us do it? Our pricing means you only pay for the time you need, subject to a two-hour minimum for two-person jobs. We can even pack for you if you're currently out of the country.
We handle office removals as well as house and flat moves. We're well trusted across southwest London for helping businesses relocate from one set of offices to another. With so many people working in this part of the capital, our man and van service is ideal for the job. Whether you're an office manager, a shop owner or run another kind of business, we'll handle your move professionally, and our knowledge of the local roads benefits businesses just as much as homeowners.
Our man and van service is well suited to moving furniture around the area. Perhaps you're moving a sofa to a second property, or want us to deliver a desk or wardrobe you've sold? You might simply want some old furniture taken away and disposed of. Whatever your furniture needs, we can handle them.
For any move, it's important to use good-quality packing materials, and we can supply everything you need, so you avoid breakages and scuffs. If you'd like, we can provide:
As well as access to storage units in the Twickenham area, we have connections with professional storage companies across London. Whether you need short-term or long-term storage, we're experienced in helping residents store their property securely, and we can collect from and deliver to storage on your behalf.
No hidden fees, a simple hourly rate based on the crew you need. Weekends are charged at +10%.
Twickenham
Not every job needs a full house removal. Sometimes you just need a man and a van rather than a large truck and crew. Whether it's a work of art that needs safe transport or a single bigger item like a corner sofa, a man and van is all you need. We can help with both small and larger properties, at a competitive price for any size of job:
We handle house clearances throughout Twickenham. If you're a landlord who needs a property cleared after a tenant has left, we can take care of it. We're also approached by family members who've inherited a property but aren't ready or able to clear it, and we handle those jobs too, always with courtesy, compassion and understanding.
There are several university sites around this part of southwest London, so many students need help with their moves, often just to shift a wardrobe and a few other items rather than a full house move. Our man and van service is ideal for students. We charge by the hour, which suits smaller moves, and keep our man and van service low-cost, making us a good choice for student removals in Twickenham.
We've been trusted with some spectacular artworks, including an original Damien Hirst. If you're looking for professionals to help with art removals in Twickenham, you won't find a better firm than Volition Removals. We're conscientious and cost-effective, and the same goes for our antique removals service.
Taking furniture apart and rebuilding it is part of every move we handle in Twickenham. We also offer flat pack assembly on its own, if you've bought something online or in a showroom, we can carry it upstairs and put it together for you at a fair price.

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 Twickenham 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 Twickenham 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.
