Volition Removals — Nine Elms
Moving in or around Nine Elms? If so, we can help.
Nine Elms
Bounded by a fine stretch of the River Thames to the north and Battersea Park to the west, Nine Elms has long been seen as an up-and-coming part of the capital. Close to central London but with its own identity, it is increasingly in demand as the district becomes more desirable. Named after a row of elm trees that ran from Vauxhall in the Middle Ages, it was once an industrial area, so it has a rich heritage. Today it is mainly residential, with many small businesses too. A man and van service works well here for moving bulky items, home relocations and even office moves. If you are looking for house removals in Nine Elms, or any of our other services, turn to Volition Removals.

Booking our man and van service is easy. Phone us directly or fill out our contact form and we will get back to you. We then assess what you need. Sometimes we can estimate the cost simply by talking through your requirements; other times we review the move over a video call to gauge the size of your home and how many large items are involved. Here is what we do for every mover:
A removals job in Nine Elms without a parking bay suspension is only feasible if you have guaranteed off-street parking, which is rare. In most cases you will need to apply for a parking bay suspension with Wandsworth Council. You have to meet certain criteria, but moving is one of the allowed reasons. To avoid disappointment, give plenty of notice.

Nine Elms
Living in Nine Elms today is nothing like it was even a few decades ago. Once the most neglected part of the London Borough of Wandsworth, it has been heavily redeveloped. There has been major investment near the iconic old Battersea Power Station, and luxury apartments now line the Thames. From the power station's listed structure to Riverside Gardens near Vauxhall Bridge, there are many striking developments.
The move of the US Embassy to Nine Elms has also given the area a more sophisticated image. Not long ago it was known mainly as the home of New Covent Garden wholesale market. That is no longer the case, thanks to all the new buildings and homes. These days, people move here for the good schools, strong transport links and high-quality developments.
There are plenty of places to eat out too, so you do not need to head into the West End for good food, though it would not take long from here. In short, we love Nine Elms because:

Good packing materials are essential. You need your items protected inside their boxes, and proper packing also makes unpacking easier at the other end. Many accidents happen not during the move but when items are taken out again for the first time. We have:

Our man and van service is ideal for moves within this part of South London. If you are moving from a waterfront flat to a residential street such as Carey Gardens, or the other way round, a man and a van is enough to get the job done swiftly and reliably.
For larger house removals, we usually provide Luton vans, which suit moves out of the area to another part of London. A man and van of that size is just as good if you are moving to Nine Elms. Overall, the service suits all types of move and keeps things straightforward and cost-effective.

As a man and van removals firm, we also handle house clearance work. For example, we carry out flat and house clearances for landlords at the end of a tenancy, which can mean removing abandoned furniture and old appliances. We also undertake clearances after the death of the owner, and we always work with compassion in such cases. You can trust us to do a sympathetic job every time.
With many places of learning nearby, student moves are popular here. Students usually have only a few larger items, so a man and van is perfect. If you are a student on a limited budget, our service is ideal, and we can help you move from anywhere in London. We will even handle the return trip home at the end of your studies if you wish.
Our removals services cover all sorts of personal belongings. Whether or not you are moving home, you can book us to move one-off items such as artworks. We have been entrusted with many works of art, including pieces by very famous artists, and we are skilled at handling antiques too. If you have rare or valuable items, entrust their safe removal to Volition Removals.
As a house removals firm, we take flat pack furniture apart in our day-to-day work, so we also know how to reassemble it. Most furniture these days is sold for self-assembly, which leaves many people with a headache. Since we deal with flat packs regularly, you can book us to assemble yours. Enquire and we will do a professional job for you.

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 Nine Elms 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 Nine Elms 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.
