Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of the area, our removal vans and professional teams handle full house moves, including furniture, appliances, garden items and personal possessions.

We assist landlords with clearing, part-clearing or re-furnishing rental properties, removing old furniture and bringing in new items quickly and efficiently between tenancies.

From small offices to shops and studios, our removal vans are ideal for structured office relocations, internal moves, or transporting equipment and stock with minimal disruption to your trading.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with your move details: addresses, dates, property size and any special items. We provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Colliers Wood. We assess access, parking, volume of belongings and any fragile or bulky items, ensuring we send the right size removal van and crew.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or choose our packing service for a fully handled move. If you are packing yourself, we advise on materials and labelling. On moving day, we protect floors and doorways where required, and prepare furniture for safe transport.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team loads your belongings methodically, using blankets, straps and trolleys to minimise risk. Items are stacked securely in the removal van and checked before departure. We then transport your goods directly to the new address, driving carefully and keeping you informed.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing furniture and boxes where they are most useful. We will reassemble any items we dismantled by prior agreement and complete a final check with you before we leave.

Transparent Pricing for Removal Vans in Colliers Wood

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our removal van costs are based on:

• Size and number of vans required
• Number of movers needed
• Distance between addresses
• Complexity, access issues and any extra services (such as packing)
• Day and time – weekdays are often more economical than weekends

You receive a written quotation that breaks down the main elements so you can see how your price has been calculated. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges, such as long carries or waiting time due to key handovers, are explained in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Hiring a cheap man-and-van or trying to move yourself can look attractive on paper, but often costs more in time, damage and stress. With Colliers Wood Movers you benefit from:

• Professional handling by movers who do this every day
• Fully insured cover for your goods and third parties
• Proper equipment and vehicles maintained for removals work
• Reliable timings and confirmed bookings, not last-minute cancellations
• Efficient loading so fewer trips and less disruption

A rushed DIY move can lead to injury, breakages and lost time. Our role is to remove that risk and allow you to concentrate on everything else involved in your move.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We operate to recognised standards for UK removals. Your move is protected by:

• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while in our vehicles
• Public liability cover for any accidental damage to property or third parties
• Documented procedures for handling, loading and securing items

Our crews are trained in safe lifting techniques, furniture protection and customer care. We continually review our methods to ensure we meet modern expectations for safety and service quality.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We know your belongings are more than just objects. Our teams handle them as if they were their own, using protective covers, blankets and careful stacking methods to minimise risk. Where possible, we:

• Use reusable crates and durable packing materials
• Recycle cardboard and other waste through approved facilities
• Plan efficient routes from Colliers Wood to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Maintain our vehicles for cleaner, more efficient operation

This approach helps protect both your possessions and the environment, while still providing a reliable, timely service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal van in Colliers Wood cost?

The cost of a removal van depends on the size of the vehicle, the number of movers required, the distance between properties and the complexity of the job. Smaller local moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while full house or office moves are often priced as a fixed quotation. Once we have the details of your move, we provide a clear written estimate with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what is included before you decide to go ahead.

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

We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in and around Colliers Wood, especially outside of peak periods. Availability depends on existing bookings and the size of your move, so it is always best to call us as soon as you know you need help. For urgent moves, we focus on the essentials first – getting you out of the property safely and on time – then, if required, arranging follow-up trips or services such as additional deliveries or storage.

What insurance cover do you provide?

All our removal van services include goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles. We also carry public liability insurance in case accidental damage occurs to buildings or third parties during the move. The exact limits and terms of cover are available on request. We always encourage customers to mention any high-value or particularly delicate items in advance so we can advise on the best way to protect them.

What is included in a professional removals service?

A professional removals service is more than just a van. With Colliers Wood Movers, you get a suitably sized vehicle, trained movers, loading and unloading, basic furniture protection and placement of items in your new property. We can also add packing, dismantling and reassembly services if required. Our team plans the move in advance, coordinates access and timings, and keeps you informed throughout. The goal is to provide a structured, safe and efficient move rather than leaving you to manage everything yourself.

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

A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport only, with limited insurance, equipment and planning. As a professional removals company, we provide insured vehicles, experienced staff, proper protective materials and clear processes. We conduct surveys where necessary, confirm bookings in writing and turn up with the right size team for the job. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute cancellations, and gives you a single, accountable point of contact for the whole move.

How far in advance should I book a removal van?

We recommend booking your removal van as early as possible, particularly if you are moving at the end of the month, on a Friday or during school holidays. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal for larger moves, but we can often accommodate smaller local jobs with less notice. Early booking allows us to complete a survey, advise on packing and access, and reserve the right van and team for your chosen date, giving you greater certainty and a smoother moving experience.
