Local Removals Expertise in Colliers Wood

Working in Colliers Wood day in, day out means we know the area inside out – from narrow terraced streets and mansion blocks to modern apartments and busy high roads. We understand:

• Parking restrictions and permits around Colliers Wood High Street and residential roads
• Access issues in period conversions and top-floor flats
• Optimal routes to and from the A24, A3 and wider London network

This local knowledge allows us to plan your removal so it runs smoothly, minimising disruption and saving you time on moving day.

Who Our Colliers Wood Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we offer full home removals for houses and flats. We can provide packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and careful transport of fragile and high-value items.

Renters

Moving between rented flats in Colliers Wood often means tight staircases, limited lift access and strict move-in/move-out times. Our team is used to working within building rules and landlord requirements, helping you leave your old property in good order and move into the new one without stress.

Landlords

We assist landlords with tenant changeovers, partial clearances and full property moves. Whether you need a previous tenant’s belongings removed (with the correct authorisation) or furniture moved in for a new let, we provide a tidy, efficient service.

Businesses

From small offices to retail units, our business removals in Colliers Wood focus on keeping downtime to a minimum. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock, and archives, with evening or weekend moves available by arrangement to keep your business running.

Students

For students moving to or from halls and shared houses, we offer cost-effective student removals. We can combine small loads, handle heavy items like suitcases and boxes, and work around term dates and tight handover times.

What Our Removals Service Includes

Items Typically Included

Our standard removals cover most domestic and office contents, such as:

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted), cookers
• Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors, audio systems
• Personal belongings – clothes, books, ornaments, kitchenware
• Office items – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, printers, boxed files
• Outdoor items – small garden furniture, barbecues (clean and empty), tools

Items We Normally Exclude or Need to Assess

For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or require prior agreement:

• Illegal or prohibited items of any kind
• Live animals or pets (we can advise on pet transport options)
• Very high-value items (artwork, antiques, jewellery) without prior declaration
• Large pianos, safes or specialist machinery without a survey

If you’re unsure about a particular item, let us know during your enquiry so we can confirm what’s possible and arrange the right equipment or specialist support where needed.

How Our Removals Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quotation

You contact us by phone or online with your move details – addresses, dates, property size and any special requirements. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining what’s included. Wherever possible, we offer a fixed price so you know exactly what to budget for.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to:

• Assess the volume of items
• Check access, stairs, lifts and parking
• Identify fragile or bulky items needing extra protection

Based on this, we confirm the right vehicle size, number of professional movers and any packing materials required.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer several levels of packing support:

• Packing-only service – we supply materials and pack everything for you
• Fragile packing – we pack breakables like glass, china and pictures
• Self-pack – you pack; we provide boxes and materials on request

Furniture is protected with padded covers, and where needed we will dismantle beds, wardrobes and other large items for safe transport.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time and gets to work systematically. We:

• Protect floors and bannisters where required
• Load items in a safe, organised order
• Secure belongings with straps and blankets in the vehicle

Your goods are then moved directly to your new property, using planned routes to avoid unnecessary delays where possible.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload and place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. Where we’ve dismantled items, we can reassemble them as agreed. We’ll check that everything is unloaded, positioned sensibly and that you’re happy with the layout before we leave.

Transparent Removals Pricing

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

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
• Distance between properties
• Level of service – self-pack, part-pack, or full packing
• Any additional services – storage, dismantling/reassembly, disposal

All costs are explained upfront, with no hidden extras. If your move details change, we’ll update the quote and discuss any price difference beforehand so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Use Professional Removals Instead of DIY or Man-and-Van?

Moving yourself or booking a casual man-and-van can look cheaper, but often ends up costing more in time, damage and stress. Choosing a professional removals company like Colliers Wood Movers gives you:

• Fully insured transport and handling of your belongings
• Trained staff used to carrying heavy and awkward items safely
• Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and furniture covers
• Planned timings so your move fits around key collections and handovers
• Reduced risk of injury or damage to property

We treat your possessions with care and respect, and you have clear recourse if anything does go wrong – something informal arrangements rarely provide.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. That’s why we maintain robust cover and work to recognised industry standards:

• Goods in transit insurance – protecting items while they’re being moved
• Public liability cover – for peace of mind in and around your property
• Trained moving teams – staff briefed in safe handling and protection

We keep vehicles and equipment well maintained, use appropriate packing materials, and follow clear procedures for handling fragile and high-value items.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to complete every removal safely, carefully and with consideration for the environment. Our approach includes:

• Using reusable transit blankets, furniture covers and crates where possible
• Offering sturdy, reusable boxes and taking back what can be used again
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Recycling packing materials where local facilities allow

On moving day, we protect your belongings and property with covers, wraps and floor protection as needed, treating both your old and new homes as if they were our own.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Colliers Wood cost?

The cost of a removal in Colliers Wood depends on the volume of your belongings, access at each property, distance travelled and the level of service you choose. Small flat moves can sometimes be completed within a half-day rate, while larger house or office moves typically require a full day and a larger team. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear, written quotation so you know exactly what’s included and can budget with confidence.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often accommodate same-day or urgent removals in Colliers Wood, depending on our schedule and the size of the move. If you’re on a tight deadline, contact us as early as you can with your details. We’ll confirm what’s realistically achievable, suggest practical options, and give you a straightforward price. For very short-notice moves, a more streamlined service may be necessary, but we’ll still ensure your belongings are handled carefully and transported safely.

What insurance cover do you provide?

Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your property. This protection is designed to give you reassurance that, in the unlikely event something goes wrong, there is a clear process to put it right. We’ll explain the key terms, any limits or exclusions, and how to declare particularly high-value items so they are recorded properly from the outset.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your belongings between properties, with all items protected using blankets and covers. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture by prior arrangement. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials, storage and help with disposing of unwanted items. Every quotation clearly sets out exactly what is and isn’t included, so you can tailor the service to your needs.

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

A professional removals service offers structured planning, trained staff, suitable vehicles and proper insurance. We carry the right equipment for heavy and fragile items, assess access in advance, and provide written quotations and terms. While a man-and-van may appear cheaper, it often lacks formal protection if items are damaged or the job overruns. With Colliers Wood Movers, you know who is turning up, when they will arrive, and that your belongings will be handled with care and accountability.

How far in advance should I book my move?

Ideally, you should book your Colliers Wood removal 2–4 weeks in advance, especially if you’re moving on a busy day such as a Friday or at the end of the month. This gives us time to carry out a survey, plan parking, arrange packing materials and allocate the right team. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change, so we’ll always do our best to accommodate shorter notice where possible and adjust plans if your dates move.
