Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Initial Quote
You can contact Colliers Wood Movers by phone, email or our online form. We will ask for key details: property size, addresses, access information, desired move date and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate outlining likely costs and options.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most moves we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to see what needs moving, assess access and parking, and identify any fragile or bulky items. The survey lets us plan vehicle size, crew numbers and timing accurately, and from there we provide a clear written quotation.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you choose our packing service, our team will arrive ahead of move day (or early on the day) with all materials needed. We carefully pack and label boxes so that unpacking is straightforward. If you are packing yourself, we can supply materials and offer guidance on how to pack safely and efficiently.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our professional team arrives at the agreed time, protects key areas of your property, and begins loading. Furniture is wrapped or covered where needed, and boxes are stacked securely in the vehicle. Once loaded, we travel directly to your new address unless alternative arrangements have been agreed.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload systematically, placing furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any agreed items, check that you are satisfied with placement, and remove our materials and equipment. Before leaving, we confirm that nothing has been left on the vehicle and that access areas are clear.
Transparent Pricing for Colliers Wood House Removals
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no unexpected extras. Your quotation will usually be based on:
- Volume of goods to be moved
- Distance between addresses
- Access and parking conditions at each property
- Number of movers and vehicles required
- Optional services such as packing, materials and storage
All expected charges are explained in advance. If your requirements change before your move, we update and confirm the price with you, so you always know where you stand.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van?
Hiring a professional removals company like Colliers Wood Movers offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van service:
- Safety – trained teams know how to lift and move heavy items without injury or damage
- Protection – use of covers, wrapping and correct stacking reduces the risk of breakages
- Reliability – confirmed bookings, written quotes and scheduled arrival times
- Insurance – your items are covered by appropriate removals insurance
- Efficiency – the right vehicle size, tools and experience mean fewer trips and a smoother day
While DIY or informal options may appear cheaper at first glance, damage to belongings, vehicle hire issues, or last-minute cancellations can quickly outweigh any savings.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Colliers Wood Movers operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained moving teams experienced in safe handling and loading
Our crews follow established procedures for lifting, carrying and stacking items, and our vehicles are regularly maintained and checked. We are happy to discuss coverage limits and any specific concerns during your quotation.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your belongings and your property is central to how we work. We use padded blankets, sofa and mattress covers, and floor protection where necessary. Fragile items are wrapped and labelled clearly, and we take extra care with staircases, tight corners and doorways.
We also aim to reduce waste by reusing sturdy packing materials where appropriate, offering the collection of reusable boxes after your move, and planning routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage. Where possible, we recommend sustainable packing choices such as recyclable paper over plastic-heavy options.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house removals in Colliers Wood cost?
The cost of a house removal depends on several factors: how much you are moving, the distance between properties, access at each address, and whether you need extras such as packing or storage. Smaller local moves may be completed within a few hours, while larger homes with full packing can take longer and require more crew members. We provide a clear, itemised quotation after a short survey, so you know the full cost in advance with no hidden charges.
Can you do same-day or urgent removals?
We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Colliers Wood, but this depends on our existing bookings and crew availability. If you need an urgent move, contact us as soon as possible with details of your property, addresses and timing. We will check our schedule and, if we can assist, provide a firm price and plan. Even at short notice, we follow our standard procedures to keep your move organised, safe and properly insured.
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 hold public liability cover for work at your properties. These policies are designed for professional removals and give you added reassurance beyond what a casual service may offer. We can explain the key terms and limits in plain language before you book, and you are always welcome to discuss any specific high-value items with us during your survey.
What is included in a standard removals service?
A standard house removal usually includes loading all agreed items at your old address, protecting and transporting them in our removals vehicle, and unloading and placing them into the rooms you specify at your new property. We provide basic protection for furniture and property, and can dismantle and reassemble standard beds and similar items if agreed in advance. Optional extras, such as full or partial packing and the supply of packing materials, can be added to create a package that matches how much help you want.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
While some man-and-van operators work carefully, a professional removals service typically offers more structure and protection. We provide written quotations, planned surveys, skilled teams and vehicles set up specifically for moving household goods. Your belongings are covered by appropriate removals insurance, and we use protective equipment and systematic loading methods. This reduces the risk of damage, delays or cancellations. For a full house move, especially with fragile or valuable items, a professional removals company is usually the safer, more reliable option.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Ideally, you should book your Colliers Wood removal as soon as your moving date is reasonably certain. For most people, this is around two to four weeks before completion or key collection. Booking early gives you the best choice of dates and enough time to arrange packing and materials. However, we understand that dates can change, and we do our best to remain flexible. If your move is sooner than expected, contact us and we will check availability and advise on the practical options.
