Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
You contact us with basic details: addresses, property types, dates and what you’re moving. We’ll ask focused questions so we understand the job properly. Based on this, we’ll provide a clear, no-obligation estimate outlining what’s included, any options, and how long we expect the move to take.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most full-house moves, we carry out a short survey, either by video call or an on-site visit. This lets us check access, parking, stairways, lifts and any awkward or heavy items. The survey helps us allocate the right team, vehicle and equipment and allows us to confirm a fixed price where appropriate.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything, room by room.
- Part packing – we handle fragile or high-value items; you do the rest.
- Self packing – you pack; we advise on best practice if needed.
On moving day we protect key items and, where agreed, disassemble furniture and prepare appliances for safe transport.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you, and starts loading in a logical order. We use trolleys, dollies and ramps where helpful, and protect furniture with blankets and ties on the vehicle. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while in our care, and we always drive sensibly, allowing for London traffic conditions.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property we unload into the rooms you choose, placing labelled boxes and furniture where needed. If we’ve dismantled items, we reassemble them as agreed. Before we leave, we invite you to walk around and check that everything is in the right place and that you’re satisfied with the move.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Earls Court
We price each move based on the actual work involved, not guesswork. Main factors include:
- Volume of belongings (number of rooms, furniture size, box count).
- Access at both addresses (floors, lifts, distance to parking).
- Travel distance between properties.
- Services required – such as packing, materials, disassembly and storage.
- Day and time – peak periods may cost more.
We’ll explain how your price is built up, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. There are no hidden add-ons introduced on moving day without prior agreement.
Why Choose Professional House Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removal team offers benefits that DIY or casual man-and-van work simply can’t match:
- Safety – trained movers know how to lift and manoeuvre heavy items without injury or damage.
- Protection – proper blankets, straps and loading techniques reduce the risk of breakages.
- Time saving – an organised crew completes in hours what might take you all weekend.
- Insurance cover – your goods are insured in transit, giving real peace of mind.
- Reliability – we confirm bookings, turn up on time and have backup options if something unexpected happens.
For most people, especially in central London, the reduced stress and lower risk of damage more than justify using a professional service.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and a Van Earls Court operates to clear, professional standards. We carry:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they’re being moved.
- Public liability cover for your property, building common areas and third parties.
Our teams are trained in manual handling, loading, route planning and customer care. We maintain our vehicles properly and keep them clean and well equipped, so we’re ready for both routine and complex moves.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle every item with care and respect, using floor runners and door frame protection in tighter spaces where needed. For fragile or high-value pieces, we can offer additional wrapping or crating options.
We’re also working to reduce our environmental impact by:
- Reusing good-quality boxes where appropriate.
- Offering rental crates as an option for some moves.
- Planning efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage.
- Separating recyclable packing materials wherever possible.

- Office and studio relocations – small businesses moving locally or to new premises.

Whatever your circumstances, we’ll talk through the details and provide a practical plan that fits your timeframe and budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Earls Court cost?
Costs vary depending on how much you’re moving, access at each property, distance between addresses and whether you need packing or dismantling services. Small flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while full-house moves are often a fixed price agreed after a survey. Once we’ve discussed your requirements, we’ll give you a clear quotation with everything itemised. There are no surprise extras added on the day as long as the job matches the description we’ve been given.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Earls Court, especially for flat or smaller property moves. Availability depends on our existing bookings and the size and complexity of your move. If you need to move urgently, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details so we can check vans and crews and give you realistic options. Where we can’t meet your exact timing, we’ll always be honest and suggest the nearest workable alternative.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they’re being moved in our vehicles. We also hold public liability insurance, which covers accidental damage to property or third parties during the move. As with any policy, there are limits and exclusions, which we’re happy to explain before you book. It’s sensible to keep especially valuable items, such as jewellery or important documents, with you and ensure your own home insurance is up to date for extra reassurance.
What’s included in your removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture, boxes and agreed contents between the two properties. We protect items with blankets and straps, and place them in the rooms you choose at the new address. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials, and furniture disassembly and reassembly. We’ll confirm exactly what is and isn’t included in your written quotation so you know precisely what to expect on moving day.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van is often just transport and a driver, sometimes without insurance or trained help. Our service is a structured professional removal: we plan the move, allocate the right team and vehicle, protect your items, and provide insurance cover. Our crews are trained, uniformed and supervised, with the equipment needed for awkward or heavy pieces. For a full house move, this usually means less stress, fewer breakages and a more predictable timetable than using an informal or ad-hoc service.
How far in advance should I book my house removal?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you’re moving on a Friday, weekend or at month end when demand is highest. For most local Earls Court moves, one to three weeks’ notice is usually enough to secure your preferred day and time. That said, we understand dates can change at short notice, so we’ll always do our best to accommodate late bookings or amendments where our schedule allows.
