Booking with us is straightforward. Call us or fill in the online form to request a price for your move. We will need to know:
For most moves in Chelsea, it is worth booking a parking bay suspension unless you have a private driveway that can take one or more vans. To arrange this, contact the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and explain why you need a parking bay near your home.
Moving home can be stressful, with so much to remember. Our house moving checklist helps you stay on top of it all. Use it whether you are moving between flats in Chelsea, relocating from a family home to another part of London, or moving to Chelsea for the first time.

When it is time to move to a new home or office, you want a professional service and good value. We offer both, along with efficiency and a prompt, friendly approach. Any reputable London removal company should also carry proper insurance to protect customers' possessions.
Volition Removals covers your belongings with goods in transit insurance up to £30,000, plus £1m in public liability cover. Our trained, experienced staff can handle fragile items such as china, glassware and rare ornaments. They are also experienced with delicate artwork and always arrive prepared with packing blankets, spare boxes and materials to keep your goods safe.
We can take care of everything, including packing, loading and moving, as well as supplying boxes, packing tape and other materials. Our aim is to make the job as hassle-free as possible, and we take pride in the quality of our work.

Chelsea
Because we run a man and van service and have large Luton vans available, we can offer the flexibility Chelsea residents need. We scale the service up for larger jobs and back down when less is required, so you only pay for the work you actually need.
Our 5-tonne vans handle large and bulky items with ease, and we offer the same professional service if you only have a few personal possessions to move. With good local knowledge of Chelsea's busy streets, we get the job done efficiently.
Chelsea
Chelsea is one of London's most affluent areas, with an enviable range of services and entertainment set among grand surroundings. The Kings Road is a lively centre for shopping and eating, and the area has plenty of cultural spots that make it a great place to live and to visit.
Some of our favourite local spots include the Saatchi Gallery, which is free to the public and often hosts thought-provoking exhibitions. There is the National Army Museum for anyone interested in history, and for the architecture, we recommend a walk along the riverside to see the Albert Bridge, a grade II listed road bridge that connects Chelsea with Battersea across the River Thames.
Places to eat are plentiful, from the popular and pricey Bluebird to the more budget-friendly Cote Brasserie.
Moving within Chelsea has its challenges, as the area is often busy with tourists and residents alike. We recommend planning ahead with suspended parking bays and choosing quieter times of day to help your move go smoothly.
We like Chelsea because:
Chelsea
Would you rather sit back while your belongings are carefully packed and inventoried for your move? We are happy to help. With our pricing, you only pay for the time we spend packing, subject to our minimum two-hour charge for two-man jobs.
Our service is not just for house removals. It works just as well for office moves. We handle office removals across the borough for sole traders and larger firms alike, and we are set up to meet your commercial priorities, including the safe handling of office equipment.
Our man and van service suits many jobs, but it comes into its own when furniture needs moving. Thanks to our moving and handling training, even very bulky items such as corner sofas can be shifted without fuss. We will move furniture within your home, deliver it to you, or arrange for it to be disposed of. Just ask how we can help.
If you are thinking about packing for your move, consider our professional supplies. We stock top-quality materials to help protect your belongings.
We are well connected with storage firms across London, including in Chelsea. If you have goods that need to go into storage for the short or long term, we have a range of options to suit.
No hidden fees, a simple hourly rate based on the crew you need. Weekends are charged at +10%.
Chelsea
For smaller jobs, our man and van service is a good fit. It offers more flexibility and costs less than many alternatives in West London. It is ideal if you have a few bulky items to move while you handle the rest yourself. Need a bed, wardrobe or sofa moved? Take a look at our competitive rates. The service suits people moving from furnished flats and residents of house shares, among others. Ideal for:
We handle house clearances throughout West London, including many in Chelsea. This work needs to be handled sensitively, particularly after a death in the family. Whatever the reason a property needs clearing, our team will manage the job professionally.
Chelsea is home to many students from both the UK and overseas, with several educational establishments within easy reach. We handle plenty of student moves, both mid-term and at the end of the academic year. If you only have a few larger items to move, as many students do, our man and van service is well suited to your relocation.
Moving works of art takes extra skill and an even greater level of care. We have the experience and know-how, having handled expensive and rare artworks for clients before. We are also well versed in antique removals, whether you are moving home or simply relocating antique possessions to another address.
Need furniture built rather than moved? Flat pack assembly in Chelsea is one of our regular jobs. We reassemble anything we take apart during a move, and we'll happily construct new flat pack pieces from scratch, carrying them to the right room first.

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 Chelsea 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 Chelsea 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.
