Local Earls Court Expertise

Working every day in SW5 and surrounding postcodes, we understand the particular challenges of moving in Earls Court. From mansion blocks and period conversions to modern developments with concierge and loading bays, we plan each move around your building’s access and any local restrictions.

We are used to:

• Arranging parking suspensions where needed
• Navigating one-way systems and narrow streets
• Co-ordinating with building managers and concierges
• Protecting communal areas and lifts during the move

This local knowledge helps us complete moves more efficiently, reducing stress and keeping disruption to neighbours and businesses to a minimum.

Step-by-Step Removal Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

It starts with a quick conversation. You tell us what you are moving, from where to where, your dates and any access details. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume of goods, access, distance and any additional services you require, such as packing or dismantling.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Earls Court and nearby areas. We assess the volume, note any fragile or awkward items and check parking and access. This allows us to allocate the right size removal van and the correct number of movers, avoiding surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes or choose our professional packing service. If we are packing, our team arrives with quality materials – double-walled boxes, tape, bubble wrap and wrapping paper – and prepares everything methodically. We can also dismantle beds, wardrobes and certain furniture where needed, labelling carefully so it can be reassembled at your new property.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained crew protects your property with door, floor and banister covers where required. Furniture is wrapped and secured inside the removal van using padded blankets, straps and securing rails. We load systematically, balancing weight and protecting fragile items. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new address, with regular communication during the journey if required.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled, position heavy items such as wardrobes and appliances where you want them and remove our packing materials from the site. The aim is to leave you with a functional home or office from day one, not a pile of boxes in the hallway.

Transparent Pricing – How We Charge

We keep our pricing straightforward and transparent. Quotes are based on:

• Volume of items and number of rooms
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
• Travel distance and any congestion or parking charges
• Services required – such as packing, dismantling, or storage

For smaller moves within Earls Court, we may offer a fixed-price package. For larger or more complex jobs, we usually work on an agreed rate with a clear estimate of time, so you know what to expect. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs (for example, parking suspensions) are discussed in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removal Vans Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Hiring a cheap van or an unregulated man-and-van might seem tempting, but it can quickly become more stressful and more expensive than expected. With Earls Court Movers you benefit from:

• Fully insured service – protection for your belongings and your property
• Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and load safely
• Proper equipment: padded blankets, straps, trolleys and tools
• Reliable timings and a written booking confirmation
• Compliance with building rules and local regulations

Professional removals reduce the risk of damage to your belongings, injury to yourself or helpers, and disputes over responsibility if something goes wrong. You get peace of mind and a much smoother day.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We operate to recognised industry standards to protect you and your belongings at every stage.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being transported in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury during the move.
• Trained moving teams – all staff receive practical training in safe lifting, packing, loading and customer care.

We conduct regular vehicle checks and maintenance, use appropriate protective materials and follow clear procedures for handling fragile or high-value items.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every item as if it were our own. Our crews use protective blankets, mattress covers and floor runners where needed, and we wrap delicate or polished furniture to prevent scuffs and scratches. TVs, glass and artwork receive extra attention.

We are also working to reduce our environmental impact by:

• Using reusable protective materials and durable crates where appropriate
• Offering collection and re-use of boxes on eligible moves
• Planning routes carefully to minimise mileage and fuel use

A well-planned move is not only less stressful; it is also more efficient and more sustainable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal van in Earls Court cost?

The cost depends mainly on how much you are moving, access at each property and the distance travelled. Smaller flat moves within Earls Court may be priced as a fixed package, while larger or more complex moves are quoted individually after a short assessment. Factors such as packing, dismantling and parking arrangements can also affect the price. We always provide a clear written quote before you commit, with no hidden charges, so you can budget confidently for your move.

Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?

We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Earls Court, especially outside peak periods. Availability will depend on existing bookings, the size of your move and how far you are travelling. If you need an urgent removal van, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details of what needs moving and both addresses. We will quickly assess whether we can accommodate your request safely and realistically, and offer the best option for your timescale.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Our removal van service includes goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and limits. We also carry public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to properties or injury during the move. We are happy to explain the key points of our cover and, if you have particularly high-value items, discuss whether any additional arrangements are advisable to ensure you are fully protected.

What is included in your removal van service?

Our standard service includes a suitably sized removal van, a trained moving team, protective equipment such as blankets and straps, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. On request, we can add packing, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture and short- or long-term storage. Parking arrangements, congestion and toll charges are discussed at the quotation stage so you know exactly what is and is not included.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While some man-and-van operators are experienced, many work informally without proper insurance, training or equipment. We operate as a professional removals company with fully insured vehicles, trained staff and structured processes. We plan each move, carry the right protective materials, and provide written confirmations and clear terms. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays or disputes and gives you a reliable point of contact throughout your move.

How far in advance should I book a removal van?

For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking your Earls Court removal van at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you plan to move on a Friday, at month-end or during peak seasons. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy changes can be unpredictable, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer and the easier it is to organise parking and building access.
