Who Our Colliers Wood Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we handle full house removals including furniture dismantling, careful packing and safe transport. We can coordinate directly with your completion date and work alongside your agents and solicitors’ timelines.

Renters

Moving between rented properties and need minimal disruption? We offer flexible time slots, including evenings and weekends, and can provide packing and end-of-tenancy friendly protection for walls, floors and stairways to help you leave the property in good condition.

Landlords

We support landlords with part and full clearances, replacement furniture deliveries and quick turnarounds between tenancies. Items are moved neatly, with attention to common areas and neighbour relations, and we can coordinate access with your managing agent if required.

Businesses

From small offices to retail units, we provide office removals and internal moves across Colliers Wood. We can move desks, IT equipment, filing and stock with labelling systems so staff can get back to work quickly at the new site.

Students

If you are studying in London and moving in or out of shared accommodation, we offer cost-effective small moves and part-loads. We can often combine your move with other routes to keep costs down while still providing a professional, reliable service.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with the basics: current address, destination, move date and what needs moving. We provide an initial estimate and explain the options available, such as packing services, disassembly or temporary storage.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most moves we carry out a survey, either by video call or in person. We assess access, parking, the volume of goods and any special requirements such as pianos or fragile art. This allows us to give you a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with the right materials. Depending on the service you choose, we either perform a full or partial pack, or we protect your pre-packed boxes and furniture using blankets, export wrap and mattress covers. Floors, bannisters and doors are covered where needed.

4. Loading & Transport

Items are loaded systematically, with heavy and robust items placed first and fragile boxes secured safely. Our vehicles are equipped with straps, blankets and protective equipment. We then transport your belongings directly to your new property using efficient, well-planned routes in and around Colliers Wood.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address we unload room by room, placing items where you want them. We can reassemble furniture we dismantled and ensure all labelled boxes are placed correctly so you can settle in more quickly. Before we leave, we invite you to check that everything is in the right place.

Transparent Pricing for Removals in Colliers Wood

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. The cost of your move depends on:

• Volume of belongings (number of rooms and boxes)
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, parking distance)
• Distance between addresses
• Services required (packing, dismantling, storage, disposal)
• Day and time of the move (weekdays, weekends, out-of-hours)

Your written quotation will clearly list what is included so you can budget with confidence. There are no surprise charges on the day as long as the agreed scope of work remains the same.

Why Choose a Professional Removal Company Instead of DIY

Hiring a professional removals team usually saves time, stress and in many cases money compared with doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van service. We bring:

• Trained staff who know how to lift safely and avoid damage
• Purpose-built vehicles with proper securing equipment
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Planning support so move day runs smoothly

DIY moves often require multiple trips, hired vans, borrowed equipment and the goodwill of friends. If something is damaged or someone is injured, you may have no protection. With Colliers Wood Movers, you have a structured service backed by insurance and professional standards.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. Our service is built around protection and accountability.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property, such as communal areas or neighbours’ vehicles.
• Trained moving teams – all staff receive instruction in manual handling, packing techniques and customer service.

We are happy to explain our cover in plain language and provide documentation on request so you know exactly how you are protected.

Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability

Every move is carried out with care and respect for your property and the environment. We use:

• Reusable removal blankets and durable crates where appropriate
• Quality packing materials designed to minimise damage and waste
• Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions

Where possible, we encourage re-use of boxes and responsible disposal or donation of unwanted items. Our aim is to move you efficiently while keeping waste and disturbance to a minimum.

Real-World Removals in Colliers Wood

Moving House

From one-bedroom flats to four-bedroom family homes, we plan your move around exchange and completion dates, key release times and school or work commitments. Our focus is on a calm, organised move so you can concentrate on the paperwork and handovers.

Office Relocations

We help local businesses in Colliers Wood relocate with minimum downtime. By labelling workstations and equipment, and following agreed floor plans, we make sure your staff can walk into a functioning workspace at the new premises.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes dates change or urgent situations arise. Subject to availability, we can arrange same-day or short-notice moves in and around Colliers Wood, bringing in additional crews or vehicles where necessary to get you moved safely and on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Colliers Wood typically cost?

The cost depends mainly on how much you are moving, the access at each property and the distance travelled. A small flat move within Colliers Wood may be completed in half a day with a smaller team, while a larger family home can take a full day or more with multiple movers and vehicles. Additional services such as packing, dismantling or storage will also affect the price. After a short survey, we provide a clear, itemised quotation so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Colliers Wood, particularly for smaller properties or partial loads. Availability depends on our existing bookings and the scale of your move, so the earlier you contact us, the better. If we can help, we will quickly assess your requirements, confirm the team and vehicle size, and send you written confirmation. Even on urgent jobs we still work methodically, protecting your belongings and property and maintaining our usual professional standards.

What insurance coverage do you provide?

We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, and public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. These policies are designed for removals work and give you more protection than you would usually have with a casual man-and-van or DIY move. We can explain the key terms, limitations and values before you book, and provide policy details on request so you can be fully informed and comfortable with the level of cover.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard service includes a professional removals team, a suitable vehicle, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms of your choice. We protect furniture with blankets and wraps, and take care with walls, floors and stairways. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, storage and clearance of unwanted items. All agreed services are listed in your quotation so you know precisely what is covered on the day.

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

A professional removals company provides trained staff, purpose-built vehicles, proper insurance and a structured process from survey to completion. We are used to handling larger moves, complex access and fragile or bulky items. A casual man-and-van may suit very small jobs, but often lacks adequate insurance, equipment and planning. With a professional team like Colliers Wood Movers, you have clear communication, written documentation, higher levels of protection and a service designed to minimise risk to your belongings and your property.

How far in advance should I book my move?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a provisional move date, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or during busy periods such as school holidays. Two to four weeks’ notice is typical for house and office moves, although we regularly accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Early booking gives us time to arrange parking, carry out a thorough survey and prepare the right team and materials, which all help your move in Colliers Wood go smoothly.
