Booking is simple: we assess what you need, prepare an estimate, take a deposit, remind you to arrange any parking permits, and take the final payment once the job is done.
Balham's main high street gets busy at peak times, which can make parking tricky on moving day, though the side streets tend to stay clearer. If your home only has permit or pay-and-display parking, arrange a bay suspension so our van can get close to the door. Wandsworth Council handles parking suspensions in Balham, so book ahead. We can advise on what's needed for your move in Balham.
A bit of preparation goes a long way with any move in Balham. We've put together a house mover's checklist for Balham residents that covers the run-up to moving day, from notifying utilities and redirecting post to labelling boxes room by room. It's the same routine we recommend to everyone booking removals in Balham, so nothing gets missed in the rush.

Some clients prefer to pack their own belongings and leave the heavy lifting to us. If you would rather we handled the packing too, or you simply don't have time, we can do it all for you. You only pay for the time we spend packing, after the initial two-hour minimum.
We have plenty of experience with commercial relocations of all kinds. We will clear your office in good time and make sure tricky items, such as computer equipment, reach your new premises safely. We cover office removals in Balham and neighbouring areas like Tooting and Streatham, so get in touch to find out how much you could save.

Balham
This service suits smaller moves and gives you flexibility. Man and van bookings are usually short, quick jobs, so they tend to cost less than a full removal. It works well for students, flat-sharers, single bulky items, and art or antique moves.
Need a house clearance after the passing of a family member? Or perhaps you are a landlord whose property needs clearing at the end of a tenancy. We handle this work professionally. A man and van often works best given how dense the residential streets are, though larger properties can be handled with bigger vehicles and teams.
This service is aimed at budget-conscious students moving between halls, private accommodation, or house shares. We understand tight budgets while keeping our standards high, and we can help take your belongings home at the end of term if needed.
Moving artwork and antiques often calls for a careful man and van service. We have plenty of experience moving pieces for auction houses and private collectors. Unless an item is exceptionally large, such as a grand piano, our standard options do the job well without unnecessary expense.
As part of our regular removals work, we take furniture apart and put it back together. We also offer flat pack assembly on its own, for furniture you have bought online or in a showroom, including carrying bedroom pieces upstairs.

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 Balham 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 Balham 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.
