Local House Removals Expertise in Earls Court
Working in Earls Court every week means we understand the particular challenges of the area – from controlled parking zones and narrow terraces to mansion blocks and lift restrictions. We liaise with you in advance about access, parking suspensions and any building rules so there are no surprises on moving day.
Whether you are moving within SW5, elsewhere in London or out of the capital, our local knowledge helps us plan realistic timings, the right vehicle sizes, and the best routes to keep delays to a minimum.
Who Our House Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating, we provide complete house removals from studio flats to large family homes. We can fully pack your property or work alongside you if you prefer to pack some items yourself.
Renters
We regularly help tenants moving between flats, HMOs and managed buildings. We understand check-out deadlines and inventory requirements, and we handle communal areas carefully to avoid any risk of damage charges.
Landlords & Letting Agents
Landlords and agents use us to clear or set up properties between tenancies. We can remove old furniture, reposition existing items and deliver new pieces, all with professional care and clear communication.
Businesses
Small businesses, home offices and local shops in Earls Court rely on our office removals support. We move desks, IT equipment and stock with minimal disruption so you can get back to work quickly.
Students
Students moving into or out of Earls Court accommodation can use our cost-effective small moves service. Ideal for room contents, bikes and a few bits of furniture, without paying for a large lorry you don’t need.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Initial Quote
You contact us with your moving date, addresses and a rough idea of what needs moving. We ask a few straightforward questions about access, floors, lifts and parking. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate so you can see likely costs from the outset.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most house moves, we carry out a survey. This can be by video call or a visit, depending on your preference and the size of the job. We log all items, check access routes, and discuss any fragile or high-value pieces. This allows us to allocate the right team, vehicle and materials and then confirm a firm quote.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Full packing service – we pack everything using quality cartons, wrapping and labelling.
- Part packing – we handle breakables and awkward items; you pack the rest.
- Owner-packed – you pack; we supply materials if required and advise on best practice.
We also protect floors, banisters and doors where needed before moving any items.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you, and then systematically loads the vehicle. Furniture is wrapped and secured, and boxes are stacked to avoid crushing. We use well-maintained vehicles equipped with ties, blankets and trolleys for safe transport across Earls Court and beyond.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify, following the labels and your instructions. We can reassemble standard beds and other items we dismantled as part of the move. Before leaving, we do a final check with you so you can be confident everything is where it should be.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes take into account:
- Property size and volume of goods
- Distance between addresses
- Access issues (stairs, long carries, parking)
- Level of packing service and materials required
- Any additional services, such as storage or specialist handling
All expected costs are explained before you book. If anything changes – such as adding another pickup address – we discuss the impact in advance so you stay in control of the budget.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Moving home with friends or a casual man-and-van may appear cheaper, but it often comes with hidden risks: damage to property, insufficient manpower, delays and a lack of insurance. Our professional removals service provides:
- Trained movers who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
- Proper equipment and vehicles designed for removals
- Structured planning to keep your move on schedule
- Full goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
The result is less stress, lower risk of injury, and better protection for your belongings and both properties.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Earls Court Movers operates with comprehensive cover and clear working standards:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our care
- Public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to buildings or third parties
- Trained, experienced teams following established handling and lifting techniques
- Detailed job sheets and inventories for larger moves
We explain our cover levels and terms in plain language before you book so you understand exactly how you are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your home and belongings with the same care we would expect for our own. Furniture is wrapped, fragile items are packed with appropriate cushioning, and high-traffic areas are protected where needed. Our teams are briefed to work quietly and respectfully, particularly in shared buildings.
We are also working to reduce our environmental impact. We aim to use reusable crates where suitable, offer the collection and reuse of our boxes after your move, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel usage.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House Within Earls Court
Many of our clients are simply moving a few streets away. We handle full flat and house moves, including packing, dismantling beds and wardrobes, and setting everything up at the new address in a single, well-organised day.
Office and Home Office Relocations
For small offices and home-based businesses, we move workstations, filing, and IT equipment with minimal downtime. We can schedule moves outside normal working hours where required, to keep you operational.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Chains collapse, dates change and occasionally moves become urgent. Where our diary allows, we provide same-day or short-notice removals in Earls Court, prioritising safety and clear communication even when time is tight.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house removals in Earls Court cost?
The cost of a house removal in Earls Court depends on the volume of items, access at both properties, distance travelled and whether you need packing services. Smaller flat moves can sometimes be completed within a few hours, while larger houses may require a full day or more. After a short discussion and, where appropriate, a survey, we provide a fixed, written quote so you know exactly what to budget. There are no hidden extras, and any potential additional costs are explained clearly in advance.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
We can often help with same-day or urgent removals, depending on our existing bookings and the size of your move. If your dates have changed at short notice or your original mover has let you down, contact us as soon as possible with details of your property and contents. We will check availability, suggest realistic timings, and advise how to prepare quickly. While we cannot guarantee every last-minute request, we will always be honest about what is achievable and aim to offer a practical solution.
What insurance cover do you provide?
We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved, and public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to buildings or third parties. Our cover is designed for professional removals work and sits alongside our careful packing and handling practices. Before you confirm your booking, we outline our insurance levels and any limits or exclusions in plain English, and we are happy to answer questions about specific high-value items so you can decide whether you need any additional personal cover.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitably sized vehicle, a trained removals team, protective equipment, loading, secure transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We can also dismantle and reassemble basic furniture and disconnect simple appliances by prior agreement. Optional extras include full packing, supply of packing materials, specialist packing for fragile items and short- or long-term storage. We set out exactly what is and is not included in your written quote so there is no confusion on moving day.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, low-risk moves, but it usually does not offer the planning, protection or insurance of a professional removals company. We carry out surveys, allocate the right team and vehicle, use proper packing materials, and follow established handling methods. Our work is fully insured, and our teams are trained and experienced in moving larger homes and fragile items. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and injuries, and typically makes the whole process far less stressful for you.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
We recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are moving on a Friday or at month-end, when demand in Earls Court is highest. Many clients book two to four weeks ahead, which gives time for a survey, packing arrangements and any parking suspensions. However, we appreciate that dates can shift, so we try to be flexible where possible. If your move is sooner, contact us and we will let you know our earliest availability and how best to prepare.
