  • The approximate number of belongings you own, which we can work out over a video call or estimate from the size of your property.

Book Your Parking in Advance

As everywhere in the capital, sorting out parking is important when moving in Wandsworth. Unless you have off-street parking that can take our van or vans, you will need to apply for a parking bay suspension. You can do that with the council by clicking here. Without a guaranteed place to park near your old and new homes, the job will inevitably take much longer.

Wandsworth Moving House Checklist

If you read our moving home checklist, you will be much better prepared for your move. Many Wandsworth residents have found it very useful when planning their moves with us, and we think you will too.

Why We Like Moving in Wandsworth

Wandsworth

Why We Like Moving in Wandsworth

Wandsworth is a diverse area with some beautiful Victorian family homes as well as modern apartment blocks. Young professionals moving in often appreciate the option of an evening move and the ability to book vans in half-hour blocks, so there is no need to pay for more time than you use. A weekday evening move can also help ensure the streets are as quiet as possible in a busy area such as the River Front.

Families tend to favour the Victorian houses in the "Toast Rack" area on East Hill and the village-style community of the Tonsleys near the river, and they may need more time and extra help organising their moves. We can make sure even the most complicated moves go smoothly, reducing the stress of packing up and delivering a whole family's belongings.

Traffic can be a problem, particularly along the High Street and around the Southside shopping centre, but we can plan routes to avoid the delays. Wandsworth Council handles parking restrictions in the area, and a suspension can be arranged to make room for the removals van, provided the application is submitted more than five days in advance.

  • Convenient access to central London
  • Great local amenities
  • Good schools in the area

Wandsworth removals, frequently asked questions

How much does a removal in Wandsworth cost?

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 Wandsworth 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.

How long will my move in Wandsworth take?

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.

How much notice do you need to book a move in Wandsworth?

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.

Do I need to book a parking bay suspension in Wandsworth?

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 Wandsworth 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.

Are Volition Removals insured?

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.

Do I need to be there on moving day?

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.

Can you pack for me, and do you supply materials?

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.

Do you dismantle furniture and disconnect appliances?

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.

Is a man and van service big enough for a larger home?

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.

Do you offer storage while I move?

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.

Do you take a deposit, and when is the balance due?

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.

Do you work weekends?

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.

What happens if I need to change or cancel my move?

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.
