Streatham
To book with us, we will ask you for a few details:
As many homes in and around Streatham have no driveway, we will often need to park on the road when loading and unloading. Booking a parking bay suspension is worthwhile to guarantee access, otherwise your job will take much longer. You can book Streatham parking bay suspensions with Lambeth Borough Council.
We have produced a house relocation checklist that is well worth reading in the run-up to your move. It does not matter whether you are moving from a house or a flat, or simply from one part of Streatham to another. The tips in the checklist will all help your move go more smoothly.

Streatham
Streatham is sometimes affectionately called "St Reatham", though the nickname has no real basis. Don't let anyone fool you.
The area has plenty of character, including rows of traditional terracotta red Victorian terraces around Streatham Hill. Properties near Brixton tend to have wide roads and ample parking, though parking restrictions apply during rush hours, from 5pm to 9pm.
The area's mixed character partly resulted from bombing during the Second World War. Local history also includes a former manor house, once owned by a founder of the Tate and Lyle sugar company.
There are comprehensive local amenities, and Tooting Bec Lido is a notable feature on the border between Streatham Common, Tooting and Balham.
Take care driving through the main parts of Streatham, especially where the road forks towards Mitcham or Norbury. If you end up on the wrong road during busy times, it can easily take 30 minutes or more to get back on track.

If you would rather take the pressure off before your Streatham house or flat move, we can help. We offer a professional packing service:
We charge an hourly rate, subject to a two-hour minimum for two-person jobs.
Our approachable team is well versed in all types of office removals. Whether you have a home office in your garden or work from commercial premises in Streatham, we are here to help you relocate. We handle every aspect of office moves, including lifting and moving computer equipment, workstations and copiers. Ask us how we can help your Streatham office move go without a hitch.
As a removals firm in Streatham, we can handle all sorts of work, including moving bulky items of furniture even when you are not relocating. Perhaps you live in Streatham but want us to take a bed to another part of London, or to collect a dining set you have bought and bring it to your home. Whatever your furniture removal needs, we will do a professional job for you.
Choosing inferior packing materials for your Streatham move can be a mistake. Flimsy boxes may collapse, and belongings inside can easily be damaged when they are not packed correctly. We can supply professional packing materials instead.
We know all the big storage providers across London, including those in Streatham. If you have items you would like stored, even if you are not planning to move any time soon, we have several options:
No hidden fees, a simple hourly rate based on the crew you need. Weekends are charged at +10%.
Streatham
For smaller jobs, our man and van service is a great option. It offers more flexibility and costs less than many alternatives in the area, and it is a good choice 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, it is ideal for:
From Leigham Court Road to Mitcham Lane, we take on plenty of house clearance work in Streatham. More often than not, this is on behalf of a family that has recently lost someone close, so we carry it out with the care and sensitivity it deserves. We also handle house clearances for landlords who need a former tenant's belongings removed. Either way, we are here to help.
As a popular residential area, Streatham has its share of students. If you are attending one of the capital's universities and plan to house share in Streatham, our man and van service is ideal. Because it works well for smaller jobs, it makes sense for students who only need help moving a few larger items. Let us handle those while you take care of the rest.
Your valuable works of art and antiques are in good hands with Volition Removals. Art and antiques call for special handling and an expert touch. We have both, which is why we are often asked to take on these jobs.
Need furniture built rather than moved? Flat pack assembly in Streatham 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 Streatham 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 Streatham 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.
