Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are selling or buying in Earls Court, we coordinate closely with your completion date and any chain deadlines. We protect high-value furniture and fragile items carefully and work to your preferred schedule so you can focus on the legal and financial side of your move.

Renters

For tenants moving between rented properties, we pay particular attention to avoiding damage to walls, floors and common areas. Our team can help disconnect and reconnect basic appliances and move you within tight check-out and check-in times.

Landlords

We assist landlords with void property clearances, part-furnished moves and moving furniture in or out between tenancies. We can coordinate directly with your letting agent or building manager when needed.

Businesses

For small and medium businesses, we offer office removals that minimise downtime. We carefully label and place desks, chairs, filing, stock and IT equipment so your team can get back to work quickly.

Students

Students moving to or from Earls Court halls or shared houses benefit from our flexible, budget-conscious service. We handle smaller removals efficiently, including moves to storage during holidays.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

We routinely move:

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• White goods – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted), cookers
• Electronics – TVs, computers, sound systems, office equipment
• Personal belongings – clothes, books, kitchenware, ornaments
• Business items – desks, filing cabinets, stock, archive boxes
• Outdoor items – small garden furniture, bikes, tools

Items Excluded or by Prior Agreement

For safety, legal or insurance reasons, there are items we cannot move or can only move by prior agreement:

• Hazardous materials – gas bottles, fuel, chemicals, paint thinners
• Illegal items or anything that breaches regulations
• Live animals and plants (only by specific agreement)
• Very high-value items such as fine art or jewellery (may require specialist arrangements)
• Oversized items that cannot be safely removed due to access limitations

If you have anything unusual or high value, mention it during your enquiry so we can advise properly.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone, email or form with your move details: addresses, property type, rough list of items and preferred dates. We ask a few targeted questions about access, parking and any heavy or fragile items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate and outline the likely timings.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything beyond a very small move, we recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit. We confirm the inventory, check stairwells and lifts, discuss dismantling needs and note any restrictions. This ensures the right vehicle size, crew number and equipment are booked for the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

Depending on your preference, you can pack your own belongings, or we can provide a professional packing service. We use quality boxes, wrapping paper and bubble wrap, and we clearly label each box by room and contents. We can supply packing materials in advance if you wish to pack yourself.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, we arrive on time, walk through the property with you, and protect floors and key surfaces as needed. Furniture is dismantled where required and wrapped for transport. We load systematically, securing items with straps and blankets. Your goods are transported directly to your new address in our fully insured vehicles.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload into the rooms you specify, assemble any furniture agreed in advance and place larger items where you want them. We work with you to make sure essential items such as beds, sofas and key kitchen appliances are in place so you can settle in sooner.

Clear and Transparent Pricing

We aim to make costs simple and predictable. Pricing is usually based on a combination of:

• Volume of goods (or property size as a guide)
• Number of movers required
• Distance between properties
• Access complexity (stairs only, long carries, parking restrictions)
• Any optional services such as packing, materials or dismantling

We provide a written quotation setting out what is included, how long we expect the move to take and any potential additional charges (for example, waiting time due to delayed key release). There are no hidden extras: if something changes, we discuss it with you before proceeding.

Why Choose a Professional Removals Company Instead of DIY

Using a professional removal company like Man with Van Earls Court typically reduces stress, damage and unexpected costs compared to hiring a van and moving yourself, or using an informal man-and-van with no proper safeguards.

We provide:

• Trained staff who move heavy and awkward items safely
• Correct lifting equipment, trolleys and protective materials
• Planned loading to avoid damage in transit
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Fixed or clearly explained pricing in advance

While DIY may seem cheaper, the cost of damaged furniture, injury or delays can quickly outweigh any savings. A professional team gives you structure, accountability and protection.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are carried under appropriate goods in transit insurance, giving you financial protection if something goes wrong during transport, subject to our terms and conditions. We also carry public liability cover to protect against damage to third-party property or accidental injury during the move.

Our movers are trained in safe handling techniques, correct use of equipment and careful packing of fragile items. We follow sensible, established working practices, carry out basic risk assessments on arrival and always prioritise safety for you, your property and our team.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your property as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped in transit blankets, mattresses and sofas are protected, and we use floor coverings where appropriate. Breakables are packed with suitable padding and stacked securely in the vehicle.

We are also mindful of our environmental impact. We encourage re-use of boxes where practical, can collect our own reusable materials after your move, and plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage. Where possible, unwanted but usable items can be taken to local charity shops or recycling points by arrangement.

Common Real-World Moves We Handle

Moving House within Earls Court

Many of our customers move between flats and houses locally. We are used to coordinating with building concierges, managing lift bookings and working within limited time windows set by building management.

Office Relocations

We help small and medium offices relocate within Earls Court or across London. Desks, chairs, filing and IT equipment are labelled and placed as agreed in advance, helping your staff settle back to work quickly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes circumstances change suddenly – a tenancy ends early, or completion gets brought forward. We do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice moves where our schedule allows, with clear expectations on timing and cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal company in Earls Court cost?

The cost depends mainly on volume, distance, access and the level of service you choose. A small local flat move might be charged on an hourly rate, while larger house or office moves are usually priced with a fixed quote after a survey. Extra services such as packing, materials or dismantling will add to the price but save you time and effort. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear written quotation so you know exactly what to budget for.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves, especially for smaller properties or partial loads, but it depends on our existing bookings. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with full details so we can see what is realistic. We will be honest about timings, available crew and any limitations. Urgent moves may be charged differently to reflect the disruption to our schedule, but you will always be told the costs before confirming.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are carried under our goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are in our vehicle, subject to the policy terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property or injury. Insurance is not a substitute for good practice, so our focus is always on prevention: careful packing, secure loading and sensible handling. We will explain key exclusions and any valuation limits before you book so there are no surprises.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard service includes a suitably sized vehicle, a trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We protect furniture and key items with blankets and, where needed, basic floor protection. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and removal of certain unwanted items by prior agreement. Your written quotation will set out exactly what is and is not included so you can decide if you want to add any extra services.

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

A basic man-and-van service often focuses simply on transport, with limited labour, no formal training and sometimes no proper insurance. As a professional removals company, we provide a planned service: surveys, clear quotes, trained teams, protective equipment and appropriate insurance cover. We are equipped for heavier items, complex access, packing and dismantling, and we are accountable for the full move, not just the driving. For anything more than the smallest move, this usually leads to a smoother, safer experience.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

For a typical flat or house move, we recommend booking as soon as your move date is reasonably certain, ideally 2–4 weeks in advance. This is especially important if you are moving on a Friday or at month-end, when demand is higher. Office and larger moves may need more notice for surveys and planning. That said, we will always try to help if you contact us closer to the date; availability just becomes more limited the later you leave it.
