Who Our Removal Services Are For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we regularly manage full house and flat removals across Earls Court. From basement flats to top-floor conversions with tight staircases, we plan your move so that access, parking and timings are all under control.
Renters
If you are moving between rented properties, you may be working to strict check-out and check-in times. We provide efficient, punctual removals that help you avoid delays and last-minute stress, taking extra care with walls, floors and fixtures to help protect your deposit.
Landlords
We assist landlords and agents with tenant changeover removals, partial clearances and furniture moves between properties. We can remove old items, deliver new furnishings, and coordinate with cleaners or contractors where needed.
Businesses
From small offices and studios to local shops, our office removals service is organised around reducing downtime. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock and archives either during working hours or out of hours to suit you.
Students
Students moving to or from halls and shared flats around Earls Court benefit from our small move service. We handle boxes, suitcases, bikes and small furniture items, so you do not need to struggle on public transport with heavy bags.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with your moving date, addresses and a rough idea of what needs moving. We will ask a few questions about access, parking and any special items, then provide an initial estimate. Where possible we offer fixed-price quotes rather than open-ended hourly charges.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything more than a very small move, we will carry out a short survey. This can be done virtually via video call or in person at your property. The survey lets us assess access, number of items, fragiles and any dismantling required, so we can allocate the right team size and vehicle and confirm an accurate price.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full packing service – we supply all materials and pack everything for you.
- Part packing – we pack breakables and awkward items; you handle the rest.
- Self packing – you pack your belongings; we provide packing materials if required.
On the day, we protect furniture with covers and wraps, and can dismantle beds, wardrobes and tables where needed.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your belongings in a logical order, securing items with blankets and straps to minimise movement during transit. We use vehicles matched to your move size, fully maintained and covered by goods in transit insurance. Routes are planned in advance to avoid unnecessary delays.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload room by room, placing items where you want them. On request, we can reassemble furniture we dismantled, position larger pieces and remove used packing materials for reuse or recycling where feasible. Before leaving, we will walk through the property with you to confirm everything has been delivered and positioned correctly.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services in Earls Court
We know that clear pricing is essential when planning a move. Our quotations are based on:
- Volume of goods to be moved
- Distance between properties
- Access and parking conditions at both ends
- Level of packing service required
- Any special items (pianos, safes, large artwork, etc.)
Once we have completed your survey, we issue a written quotation detailing exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (for example, waiting time beyond agreed limits or unexpected access issues) are explained clearly in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Hiring a professional removals company in Earls Court provides significant benefits over trying to move yourself or using an informal man-and-van:
- Safety – Proper lifting technique and equipment reduce the risk of injury.
- Protection – Your belongings are wrapped, secured and handled with care.
- Insurance – Our goods in transit and public liability cover protect you financially.
- Reliability – Confirmed booking times, written quotes and a dedicated team.
- Efficiency – Experienced crews work quickly without cutting corners.
DIY moves often end up taking much longer than expected, with greater risk of damage to items, properties and vehicles. A low-cost man-and-van service may not offer proper insurance or trained staff. With Earls Court Movers, you benefit from a structured, insured and accountable service from start to finish.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings and your property are important, so we operate to clear professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while being moved
- Public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property
- Trained moving teams experienced with fragile, bulky and high-value items
- Regularly maintained vehicles and equipment
- Detailed job sheets so everyone knows what is expected on the day
We are happy to outline our insurance cover in writing and answer any specific questions you may have about high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take pride in handling your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and vulnerable surfaces are protected where necessary. We plan lifts and carries carefully to avoid damage to walls, doors and floors in both the property you are leaving and the one you are moving into.
We also aim to operate as sustainably as practicable. Reusable blankets and covers are standard, and we encourage re-use of cartons. Where boxes and materials cannot be reused, we dispose of them through appropriate recycling channels whenever possible. Efficient route planning and vehicle loading help reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House in Earls Court
From mansion flats to mews houses, we regularly manage complete home moves. We liaise with building managers about lift use, protect communal areas, and work within permitted hours to minimise disruption to neighbours.
Office and Commercial Relocations
For offices and commercial units, we can move you within Earls Court or to another part of London or the UK. We can schedule moves for evenings or weekends, carefully handle IT equipment, and label crates by department or room to make reoccupation straightforward.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves need to happen quickly due to changes in completion dates, tenancy issues or personal circumstances. When our schedule allows, we can accommodate same-day or short-notice removals, prioritising essential items and offering additional vans or crews where feasible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Earls Court cost?
Costs vary depending on the volume of items, distance, access and the level of service you choose. A small flat move within Earls Court will typically cost less than a full family home move across the country, for example. After an initial discussion, we usually carry out a short survey so we can give you a clear, written quotation. This outlines everything included so you can compare like-for-like. There are no hidden extras, and we are always happy to explain how the price has been calculated.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removal bookings?
Where our schedule allows, we can assist with same-day or short-notice moves in Earls Court. Availability will depend on existing bookings, the size of the move and how far you are travelling. For very urgent moves, we may focus on essential items first and schedule non-urgent belongings for a later trip if needed. The best approach is to call us as soon as you know you need to move; we will be honest about what we can do and provide options to suit your timescale.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. This is in addition to the care our trained staff take when handling and protecting your items. We can provide a summary of our cover on request, and we will explain any exclusions or limits. For very high-value individual items, we may recommend you notify your own insurer as an extra precaution.
What is included in your removals service as standard?
As standard, our service includes a dedicated vehicle and crew, loading and unloading of your belongings, use of protective blankets and securing straps, and transport between your old and new address. We also include basic protection for furniture and careful placement of items in the appropriate rooms on arrival. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and disposal of unwanted items by arrangement. All inclusions and options are listed clearly in your written quotation.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals service offers structured planning, trained staff, and formal insurance cover, which many casual man-and-van operators do not provide. We conduct surveys, allocate the right vehicle size, and bring the correct equipment so that your move runs smoothly and safely. You receive a written quotation and booking confirmation, and you know exactly who will turn up on the day. While a man-and-van might appear cheaper for very small moves, the lack of protection, reliability and capacity can make them a false economy for most households and businesses.
How far in advance should I book my move?
We recommend booking as soon as you have a likely moving date, particularly if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end, or during busy times such as summer. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal for most moves, as it allows time for a survey, planning and packing. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change, so we build some flexibility into our schedule. Even if your date is not fully confirmed, it is worth talking to us early so we can pencil you in and discuss options.
