House Removals

House Removals in Greenwich by Greenwich Movers

Moving home in Greenwich or the surrounding areas? At Greenwich Movers, we provide carefully planned, fully managed house removals for flats, houses and larger properties. Every move is overseen by an experienced coordinator and carried out by our own trained, professional, and fully insured removals teams.

Specialist House Removals in Greenwich

We know Greenwich and South East London streets, parking restrictions and building layouts inside out. From conservation-area terraces and high-rise riverside apartments to family homes in quieter streets, we plan your move around real local conditions: traffic pinch points, lift access, loading times and council rules.

Our goal is simple: move your belongings safely, with minimal disruption, and leave you set up and comfortable in your new home.

Who Our House Removals Service Is For

Our service is designed to support a wide range of clients across Greenwich and nearby areas:

• Homeowners – Full household removals including large furniture, white goods and valuable items, with optional packing and unpacking.
• Renters – Flat and house moves, including top-floor properties with limited access and time-restricted slots.
• Landlords – Clearance and removals between tenancies, including part-load moves and storage coordination.
• Businesses – Small office or home-office relocations that need careful handling of IT equipment and documents.
• Students – Cost-conscious moves for student rooms and shared houses, with flexible van sizes.

Whether you are moving a studio flat or a large family home, we tailor the service to the size, access and timing of your move.

What Our House Removals Service Includes

We can take care of as much or as little as you need. Typical items and services include:

• Furniture removals – Beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, bookcases and cabinets, including basic dismantling and reassembly where required.
• Appliances – Fridges, freezers, washing machines, dryers and cookers (disconnect/ reconnect by arrangement or appropriate trades).
• Boxes and personal belongings – Clothing, books, kitchenware, ornaments and general household items.
• Fragile and high-value items – Artwork, glassware, mirrors, antiques and electronics, protected with specialist packing materials.
• Optional packing service – Full or part packing by our team using quality cartons, wrapping and labelling systems.

What We Cannot Move

For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our standard house removals service:

• Hazardous materials (e.g. solvents, fuel, gas cylinders, paint thinners, fireworks).
• Illegal items or goods not permitted by law.
• Large commercial machinery not suitable for domestic removals vehicles.
• Perishable food for long-distance or all-day moves.
• Pets and live animals – we can advise on pet-friendly transport options.

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will clarify this during the survey and suggest safe alternatives where possible.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or via our online form with your moving dates, current and new addresses, and a rough idea of what needs moving. We will discuss your requirements, access issues, and any special items, then provide an initial guide price. For most properties, we will then arrange a survey to give you an accurate written quotation.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

Our surveyor will either visit your property or carry out a video survey at a time that suits you. We log the volume of goods, access, parking, stairs or lift use, and special care items. This allows us to plan vehicle size, crew numbers and timings correctly, and to advise on packing options. After the survey, you receive a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden extras.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – We pack everything for you, including fragile and high-value items, usually the day before moving.
• Part packing service – We handle breakables and awkward items, you pack the rest.
• Self-pack – You pack your own boxes; we can supply professional-quality packing materials.

We label boxes clearly by room and content, ensuring your items can be located and unpacked easily at your new home.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained crew arrives promptly, protects floors and key walkways, and methodically loads your belongings. Upholstered furniture and mattresses are wrapped; fragile items are padded and secured. Vehicles are loaded to minimise movement in transit. We then transport your goods directly to your new home using our modern, well-maintained fleet, covered by goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload in a structured way, placing furniture and boxes into the correct rooms as directed. We assemble any items previously dismantled by our team and position larger pieces where you want them. Once everything is unloaded, we invite you to walk through and check you are happy with placement and condition.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Greenwich

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of goods and property size.
• Distance between properties.
• Access and parking conditions at both ends.
• Level of service: standard removal, part packing or full packing.
• Any additional services, such as storage or specialist item handling.

Your written quotation sets out exactly what is included, the number of movers, vehicle size, and any optional extras. If your requirements change before move day, we adjust the quote transparently so you remain in control of the cost.

Why Choose Professional Movers Instead of DIY

Hiring a professional removals company like Greenwich Movers reduces risk, stress and overall time. Our trained crews know how to manoeuvre large items through tight spaces without damaging walls or furniture. We provide the right equipment – trolleys, ramps, blankets, straps and protective covers – along with goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. DIY or casual man-and-van options rarely include this level of protection, and often take far longer, especially when access is challenging or you have a full property to move.

Insurance & Professional Standards

As a professional removals operator, we take our responsibilities seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
• Trained moving teams – Staff are trained in safe lifting techniques, packing methods and handling of fragile items.
• Regularly maintained vehicles and equipment for reliable transport.

Full details of cover and limits are provided with your quotation. We are happy to clarify any points so you understand exactly how your belongings are protected.

Care, Protection & Sustainable Practices

We treat your belongings with the same care we would our own. We use padded covers for sofas and mattresses, corner protectors where needed, and clean removal blankets. Floor protection is available for both your old and new home to keep carpets and hard floors in good condition.

We also consider the environment in our day-to-day operations. We reuse durable packing materials where safe and hygienic, encourage customers to return cartons for recycling, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. When clearing unwanted items, we prioritise donation and responsible recycling over disposal wherever possible.

Real-World House Removal Scenarios We Handle

Moving House Within Greenwich

Many of our clients move within the borough – for example, from a flat in central Greenwich to a family home in Blackheath or Charlton. We plan around local parking, loading restrictions and school-time traffic to complete your move efficiently, often within a single day.

Office and Home-Office Relocations

For small businesses and home offices, we move desks, filing, IT equipment and stock with care. We can schedule moves outside your core working hours to minimise downtime and ensure key equipment is set down safely at the new site.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Occasionally, completion dates change or landlords bring forward deadlines. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice house removals in Greenwich, mobilising smaller teams or additional vehicles to get you moved safely and on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Greenwich cost?

The cost depends mainly on the volume of belongings, distance between addresses, access, and the level of service you choose. A small flat move within Greenwich will typically cost less than a larger family home moving across London or further afield. We always carry out a survey, either virtual or onsite, so we can give a precise written quotation with no hidden extras. This way you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit, and can adjust services to suit your budget.

Can you handle same-day or urgent house removals?

Yes, we can often help with urgent or short-notice moves, including same-day jobs, depending on our schedule and the size of the move. Smaller flat moves are usually easiest to accommodate at short notice, while larger house removals may require more planning and availability of vehicles and crew. If your dates have changed unexpectedly, contact us as soon as possible. We will be honest about what we can do, offer practical options, and prioritise safe, careful handling even when time is tight.

What insurance cover is included with your removals service?

All our house removals include goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our care and being transported, and public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties. These policies are designed to protect you against the main risks involved in moving. We will explain the key terms, limits and any exclusions when we provide your quotation, and we are happy to answer questions or provide documentation so you are completely clear on how your items are protected.

What is included in a standard house removals service?

Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, professional removals team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We handle normal household furniture, boxed items and typical appliances, and place them in the rooms you specify. Protective covers, blankets and securing equipment are also included. Optional extras include full or part packing, dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, and storage if there is a gap between properties. Everything covered for your particular move is listed in your written quotation so there are no surprises on the day.

How is a professional removals company different from a man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service may be fine for a few items, but a full house move usually requires more planning, manpower and protection. As a professional removals company, we provide trained teams, the right size vehicles, specialist equipment and formal insurance cover. We survey the property in advance, plan access and parking, and bring protective materials for your belongings and home. This reduces the risk of damage, shortens the overall moving time, and gives you a clear, written agreement instead of relying on informal arrangements.

How far in advance should I book my house removal?

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 school holidays when demand is higher. Many clients confirm their removal two to four weeks in advance. However, we understand that property chains can be unpredictable, so we keep some flexibility in our schedule. If your dates are not yet fixed, we can pencil you in and adjust once your completion is confirmed, subject to availability.
