Our booking system is simple, so it is easy to arrange your move even if you don't yet have a moving date. Just call us or complete the online form. We will need to know:
Wandsworth Council regulates parking in Battersea, and only the council can process applications to suspend parking restrictions when a bay is needed for a removals van. Applications must be submitted with at least five working days' notice, so it's worth applying early for your move in Battersea. The closer our van can park to the door, the quicker the job.
Moving can be stressful, so it always helps to be prepared. That is why our home relocation checklist is worth having by your side in the weeks before your move in Battersea. With it, you will be far better organised when moving day arrives.
Battersea
Why choose us from all the removal companies in Battersea? Our professionalism speaks for itself, and our local knowledge is another good reason. For example, many professionals moving to Battersea's most vibrant spots, such as the Waterside Apartments in Nine Elms, want a fast service with no unnecessary delays. Families with pets and children may have different priorities. Either way, we can accommodate both. We can schedule evening moves to avoid disrupting the working day, or carry out moves while children are at school.
Just as importantly, Volition Removals covers your belongings for a value of up to £30,000 while they are in transit, on top of the £1m in public liability cover we also hold. Our fully trained, experienced operatives know what they are doing in a range of situations, and can handle special items such as glassware, precious ornaments or musical instruments.
We can also supply moving boxes, packing tape and bubble wrap so your possessions are fully protected. In the end, our aim is to make your move as smooth as possible, whether you have a large or small home.

Battersea
Battersea is a roughly triangular part of the Borough of Wandsworth, just south of the River Thames. As it sits within London Transport's Zone 2, it is popular with commuters, and it attracts many young families and professionals.
For families moving to Battersea's tree-lined Victorian streets, the main challenge is the stress of packing and organising a whole family's belongings. A full-service removals company can take much of that strain away. We receive plenty of praise for our work in Battersea, helping both families and professionals settle in quickly.
One of the area's main attractions is its closeness to so many of London's better-known amenities. The downside is heavy traffic on certain roads. The residential streets are often a peaceful contrast, letting locals and those in the know, like us, avoid the jams. That can be a real plus on moving day.
Battersea is also full of landmarks, some iconic, like the converted power station by the River Thames. Others include Battersea Arts Centre, housed in the old Grade II listed town hall. Battersea Park is one of the most underrated green spaces in all of London.
We like Battersea for many reasons, including:

If you would rather not spend the time and effort packing before your move, you don't have to. Subject to our minimum two-hour fee for two-man jobs, we will do this work for you at an affordable hourly rate. It is ideal for anyone who is away before their move, or simply too busy at work to pack themselves.
A man and van service is a great way to handle office moves in Battersea. Our team is well versed in all kinds of commercial relocation work across the capital, including Battersea. Whether you run a large office or a small business with just a few employees, we will help you move without any hitches.
Man and van removals in Battersea need not mean clearing an entire property. We can simply remove certain larger items for you, such as furniture. Why not book us to take a bed to another property, for example? We can also collect items you have bought and transport them to your address in Battersea from elsewhere. We handle all types of furniture, from chaise longues to kitchen dressers.
Every move should have the right packing materials to protect belongings in transit, especially precious personal items. Why risk it with inferior products when we can supply professional ones for your move in Battersea?
We are familiar with the reputable storage firms across London, including those in Battersea. If you have goods that need to go into temporary storage for a while, we have a range of options.

Battersea
For smaller jobs, our man and van service is a flexible, scalable option. It gives Battersea residents more flexibility and costs less than many alternatives in the capital. It is ideal if you have a few bulky items to move but can manage the rest of your belongings yourself. Need a double bed, a free-standing wardrobe or a sofa moved? Our competitive rates are worth a look.
The service suits people moving from furnished flats, residents of house shares and anyone with a smaller home. Call us for:
We handle house clearance work throughout the capital. Whether you have lost a family member and would like their former home cleared, or you are a landlord who needs this after a tenancy has ended, we can help. Please call us to discuss your Battersea house clearance needs.
Battersea may not have its own university, but it is popular among students who study elsewhere. If you have student accommodation in the area or want to move to Battersea, our man and van service is ideally suited. Book us to carry out a straightforward move with just a few larger items. Because we charge by the hour, our student removals in Battersea are an affordable choice.
Moving antiques means taking extra special care. Some items have to be handled with greater delicacy or kept in a certain position. The same goes for works of art, especially rare or unique pieces. That's why you should turn to Volition Removals, a firm with a lot of experience in art and antique removals in Battersea.
Taking furniture apart and rebuilding it is part of every move we handle in Battersea. 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 Battersea 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 Battersea 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.
