• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers
• Electronics – TVs, PCs, sound systems and gaming equipment

What’s Not Included as Standard

There are some items we cannot or may not be able to move as part of a standard house removal:

• Illegal or stolen items
• Live animals (including pets and livestock)
• Perishable food for long-distance moves

If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll advise during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with your move details: addresses, dates and an outline of what needs moving. We’ll ask a few questions about property type, access and any special items. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate and explain the options available, from simple transport-only moves through to a full packing and unpacking service.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most house removals we arrange a free survey. This can be virtual (video call) or an onsite visit, depending on your preference and the size of the move. The survey allows us to assess volume, access, parking and any dismantling required. From this we produce a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what is included.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer several packing options:

• Full packing service – our team packs everything using quality boxes and protective materials.
• Part packing – we pack fragile or specified items, you pack the rest.
• Self-packing – you pack, and we supply materials if required.

On the agreed date, we label boxes, protect furniture with covers and wraps, and carefully prepare appliances and delicate items for loading.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained crew arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and starts loading systematically. Floors, banisters and doors are protected where needed, and we take particular care with stairwells and narrow hallways – especially common in Streatham terraces and mansion blocks. Your belongings are secured in our vehicles and transported safely to your new address using planned routes.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload room by room according to your instructions. Furniture is placed where you want it, and items we dismantled are reassembled as agreed. We’ll position larger items first, then boxes, so you can access essentials straight away. Once everything is unloaded, we carry out a final check with you before we leave.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Streatham

Every move is different, so we quote based on the actual work involved rather than a one-size-fits-all rate. Our pricing typically reflects:

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Distance between properties
• Access issues (stairs, long carries, parking restrictions)
• Level of service (self-pack, part-pack, full packing)
• Additional services such as storage or handyman support

You receive a written quotation setting out exactly what is included, so you can compare like for like. We don’t use aggressive upselling, and any optional extras are clearly marked. If your circumstances change before moving day, we’ll update the quote and confirm any differences in writing.

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

Hiring a professional removals company offers significant advantages over doing it yourself or relying on a basic man-and-van service:

• Experience – trained teams who move households every day and know how to handle awkward or fragile items.
• Safety – correct lifting techniques, the right equipment and vehicles designed for removals.
• Protection – blankets, covers, straps and packing methods that prevent damage.
• Insurance – proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, which casual operators often lack.
• Reliability – confirmed dates, written agreements and a structured plan.

Most clients find that when you factor in time off work, hiring a van, fuel, materials and the risk of damage or injury, a professional move is far better value and far less stressful.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Streatham Removals operates to clear standards designed to protect you and your belongings:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are being moved.
• Public liability cover for peace of mind while we are working in your home or building.
• Trained moving teams who are background-checked, briefed on each move and supervised on site.

We work to recognised removals best practice, from accurate inventories and careful labelling to proper vehicle loading and route planning. Our aim is always to complete your move safely, on time and with minimal disruption.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings and property with the same care we would our own. This includes:

• Using protective covers for sofas, mattresses and key furniture items
• Wrapping delicate items in appropriate materials
• Protecting floors and bannisters where needed
• Using trolleys and equipment to avoid dragging or scraping

We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible we:

• Reuse and recycle packing materials
• Offer return and re-use schemes for boxes
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Encourage responsible disposal of unwanted items

Real-World House Removal Use Cases

Typical moves we carry out in and around Streatham include:

• Family moves between larger houses, often involving full packing and unpacking over two days.
• Flat and maisonette moves where access, parking and stairwells need careful management.
• Office and home office relocations combining domestic items with IT equipment and files.
• Urgent or short-notice moves where dates change late in the process and we adapt quickly.
• Student and small-load moves between Streatham, central London and university towns.

Whatever your situation, we’ll listen first, then propose a practical plan that fits your timescale and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do house removals in Streatham cost?

The cost depends mainly on how much you’re moving, the distance involved and the level of service required. A small local flat move may only need one vehicle and a couple of movers, while a large family home might require a bigger team and potentially two days. After a short call and a free survey, we’ll give you a fixed, written quotation with no hidden extras, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for and adjust the service to suit your budget.

Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?

We can often assist with same-day or short-notice moves in Streatham, depending on availability. If your completion date changes late on, or you need to be out of a property quickly, contact us as soon as possible. We’ll check our schedule and let you know what’s realistically achievable. While advance booking gives you the best choice of dates and times, we understand that moves don’t always go to plan and we do our best to be flexible.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they’re being moved in our vehicles, along with public liability insurance for work carried out on your premises. During the quotation stage we’ll outline the cover provided, any limits and how our terms apply. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend separate specialist cover or ask for additional details so everything is properly documented and protected.

What’s included in your house removals service?

Our standard service includes a vehicle (or vehicles) sized to your move, a trained removals team, loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We can add optional services such as full or part packing, dismantling and reassembling furniture, provision of packing materials and short or long-term storage. During the survey we’ll agree precisely what is included in your quotation so there are no grey areas about what we’ll do on moving day.

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

While a man-and-van can work for very small or simple jobs, a professional removals service offers more structure, protection and security. You get an experienced crew, suitable vehicles, proper protective equipment and documented insurance. We carry out a survey, plan the move, protect your property, handle furniture and fragile items correctly and provide clear paperwork. For most full house moves, this reduces the risk of damage, delays and hidden costs that can arise with casual operators.

How far in advance should I book my house removal?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a likely moving date, even if it’s not fully confirmed. For busy periods – such as month-end, Fridays and summer – two to four weeks’ notice is sensible. That said, we regularly help customers at shorter notice when our schedule allows. If your date changes, we’ll work with you to rearrange where possible. Early contact simply gives you more options and helps ensure the move is planned properly from the outset.
