Richmond
Booking with us is straightforward. Call or email and we'll confirm a few details before putting together an estimate:
Parking bay suspensions in Richmond are arranged by the local council.
Book a suspension with the London Borough of Richmond so we can bring our van or vans into a convenient spot to load and unload.
Without one, and without off-street parking available, the job will take longer and cost more than it needs to.
Take a look at our home mover's checklist to help you prepare for the move.
It's full of practical guidance and sensible timelines, which should help keep the stress down when moving day finally arrives.

Perhaps it's the two great rugby grounds at Twickenham and the Stoop that make moving home here so appealing.
Richmond
If you'd like us to handle the packing before your house or flat move, we're happy to help.
Because we also offer a man and van service, we can provide a flexible moving service suited to all sorts of jobs.
As a removals firm serving Richmond, we're used to lifting and handling furniture even where there's little clearance through doorways and passages.
Even a well-planned move can come undone if poor-quality packing materials are used.
We're well connected with storage firms across South London, including those in the TW9 area.
No hidden fees, a simple hourly rate based on the crew you need. Weekends are charged at +10%.
Richmond
For smaller moves, our man and van service is a good fit. It's more affordable and ideal for anyone who just needs to shift a few key items a couple of streets away.
It also suits people in house shares who simply want to move their personal belongings to a new let.
Equally, it works well for homeowners who need us to move one or two bulkier items. Ideal for:
From Kew Bridge to the Lower Richmond Road, our team can handle all sorts of house and flat clearance work.
With Kingston University close by and many other London universities within easy reach, Richmond is a popular spot for students.
Whether you live near Richmond Green or along Clifford Avenue by North Sheen Cemetery, we can handle all sorts of jobs, including rare and unusual items.
Flat pack assembly in Richmond is a job we're glad to take on, whether it's part of a removal or a standalone booking. Just tell us what's being delivered and we'll handle the lifting and the build, so you don't have to wrestle with the instructions.

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 Richmond 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 Richmond 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.
