Piano Removals
Piano Removals in Fulham by Man and Van Fulham
At Man and Van Fulham, we provide specialist piano removals across Fulham, West London and nationwide. Moving a piano safely is a skilled job – they are heavy, delicate, and often highly sentimental instruments. Our experienced team handles all types of pianos with care, planning every move around access, protection and transport so your instrument arrives in perfect condition.
Specialist Piano Removal Service Explained
Our piano removals service is a dedicated offering focused solely on the safe handling and transport of pianos. Unlike a standard house move, piano removals require specific equipment, techniques and experience. We use piano skates, padded covers, stair climbers and suitable vehicles to protect both the instrument and your property.
We regularly move:
- Upright pianos (including overstrung and tall uprights)
- Baby grand pianos
- Grand pianos and semi-concert instruments
- Digital pianos and stage pianos
- Studio and school pianos
Whether your piano is a family heirloom or a professional instrument, we treat it with the same level of care, planning and precision.
Local Piano Moving Expertise in Fulham
Based in Fulham, we know the local streets, parking restrictions and property layouts extremely well. Many properties in SW6 involve tight staircases, basement flats, maisonettes and controlled parking zones. This local knowledge allows us to plan realistically, choose the right team and equipment, and avoid delays on the day.
We regularly carry out piano removals in:
- Fulham Broadway, Parsons Green and Eel Brook Common
- Bishop's Park and the riverfront areas
- Sands End, Imperial Wharf and surrounding developments
- West Kensington, Hammersmith and wider West London
We also undertake longer-distance piano moves across the UK, from Fulham to anywhere nationwide.
Who Our Piano Removal Service Is For
Our service is designed for anyone who needs a piano moved safely and professionally, including:
Homeowners
Moving house, renovating, or simply rearranging rooms? We can relocate your piano within the same property or to your new home, ensuring floors, walls and staircases are fully protected.
Renters
We understand the importance of leaving rental properties in excellent condition. Our professional team uses proper protection to avoid damage, helping you protect your deposit and your instrument.
Landlords
If a piano needs to be removed between tenancies, placed into storage, or moved between furnished properties, we can handle the process efficiently and with minimal disruption.
Businesses
We work with schools, theatres, recording studios, rehearsal spaces, hotels and event venues to move pianos for performances, refits or relocations, often outside standard working hours for convenience.
Students
Music students moving to or from Fulham, conservatoires or universities can rely on us for cost-effective piano transport between term-time and family homes.
What Is Included in Our Piano Removals
Our piano removals service typically includes:
- Initial consultation and guidance on access and preparation
- Arrival of a trained, professional piano moving team
- Protective wrapping and padded covers for the piano
- Floor, bannister and doorway protection where required
- Safe movement using dollies, skates and lifting equipment
- Secure loading into a suitable, fully insured vehicle
- Transport to the new address, locally or nationwide
- Careful unloading, positioning and basic reassembly of legs/lyre (for grands and baby grands)
What Is Excluded from Standard Piano Removals
To keep things clear and transparent, the following are not usually included as standard but can often be arranged or advised on:
- Internal piano tuning or repairs after the move
- Disposal of unwanted pianos (available as an additional service by prior agreement)
- Removal of building fixtures (doors, windows, banisters) by tradespeople
- Crane or hoist hire for extremely difficult access (can be coordinated if required)
- Long-term storage, although we can recommend trusted local storage partners
If you are unsure whether something is included, simply ask during your enquiry and we will clarify before you book.
Our Step-by-Step Piano Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your piano (type, make, approximate size) and both addresses. We ask about stairs, lifts, parking and any tight turns. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included and any likely additional costs if access is different from described.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For more complex moves – such as larger grand pianos, awkward staircases or limited access – we may carry out a short video call survey or, where necessary, an onsite visit in Fulham. This allows us to confirm access, plan the safest route and ensure we send the right team and equipment on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day, we protect the piano with padded covers and wraps. For grand and baby grand pianos, we usually remove the legs and lyre and secure the body to a specialist piano skid. We also protect floors and doorways as needed. This stage is carried out methodically to minimise risk of damage.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team uses skates, dollies and lift-assist techniques to move the piano to the vehicle. It is then carefully loaded, secured and immobilised inside the van. We use appropriate vehicles with anchor points and proper load restraint systems to prevent any movement during transit.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we reverse the process, bringing the piano into your chosen room and positioning it exactly where you want it, within reason. For grands, we reattach the legs and lyre and ensure the instrument is stable and level. We recommend leaving tuning for at least a couple of weeks to allow the piano to settle.
Transparent Piano Removal Pricing
Piano removal costs depend on several factors, including:
- Type and size of piano (upright, baby grand, grand)
- Number of stairs or floors at each property
- Access challenges (narrow turns, tight hallways, limited lifts)
- Distance between collection and delivery addresses
- Any additional services (out-of-hours, storage moves, multiple stops)
We provide fixed quotations wherever possible, so you know the price before you commit. There are no hidden extras for routine work; any potential additional costs, such as crane hire or complex dismantling, are discussed in advance. For straightforward local upright moves in Fulham, prices are often more affordable than people expect.
Why Use Professional Piano Movers Instead of DIY
A piano can easily weigh 200–500 kg, with an uneven weight distribution and fragile internal components. Attempting to move one with friends, or using a casual man-and-van, carries a high risk of damage to the instrument, your property and the people involved.
Choosing a professional piano removals service means:
- Specialist equipment designed for moving pianos safely
- Experienced teams who understand balance, leverage and safe lifting
- Proper planning around access, parking and route
- Goods in transit insurance for your instrument
- Reduced risk of injury or costly damage to floors, walls and staircases
In short, you are paying for expertise and risk reduction, not just a van and a pair of hands.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Fulham operates to clear, professional standards at every stage of a piano move.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your piano while it is in our care and being transported, subject to terms and declared value.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property during the move.
- Trained moving teams – our crews receive specific training in safe lifting, piano handling and load securing techniques.
We are happy to confirm cover levels and provide evidence of insurance on request. We encourage customers to ask these questions of any company they are considering.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every piano as if it were our own. That means careful planning, appropriate protection and respectful handling throughout.
Our approach includes:
- Using reusable padded covers and wraps to reduce waste
- Planning routes to minimise unnecessary mileage where possible
- Maintaining vehicles to improve efficiency and reliability
- Reusing and recycling packing materials wherever practical
*Sustainability* for us is about making sensible, long-term choices that protect your piano, your property and the wider environment.
Real-World Piano Removal Use Cases
Moving House
We regularly move pianos as part of full home removals in Fulham and across London. We can integrate the piano into your wider move plan, or handle it separately on a dedicated day if that is safer or more convenient.
Office or Studio Relocation
Studios, rehearsal rooms and performance spaces often require pianos to be moved under tight timeframes. We work around your schedule, including evenings and weekends, to minimise disruption.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes pianos need to be moved at short notice – for example, ahead of building works, new tenants arriving, or last-minute performance changes. Where availability allows, we can arrange same-day or next-day piano removals from Fulham and the surrounding areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a piano removal in Fulham cost?
Pricing depends on the type of piano, the number of stairs, access at each property and the distance travelled. Upright pianos with easy ground-floor access are at the lower end of the scale, while large grands with complex staircases naturally cost more due to the extra time, staff and equipment required. We always provide a clear, tailored quote before you book, with no obligation. The best way to obtain an accurate price is to contact us with photos of the piano and both properties, plus details of stairs and parking.
Can you handle same-day or urgent piano removals?
Yes, subject to availability we can often arrange same-day or next-day piano removals in Fulham and the surrounding areas. Urgent moves depend on having the right team, equipment and vehicle available at short notice, so we recommend calling as early in the day as possible. If we cannot assist immediately, we will always be honest about timescales. Where urgent work is required outside standard hours, there may be an additional charge, which will be clearly explained before you confirm the booking.
Is my piano insured during the move?
Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our care and being transported, subject to policy terms and the value declared at the time of booking. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. Insurance is not a substitute for proper handling, so we combine comprehensive cover with trained staff, specialist equipment and careful planning. If your piano has a particularly high value, let us know so we can confirm appropriate cover arrangements in advance.
What is included in your piano removal service?
Our standard service includes a trained team, protective covers for the piano, floor and doorway protection where needed, safe loading and unloading, and secure transport in a suitable vehicle. For grand and baby grand pianos, we also handle basic dismantling and reassembly (legs and lyre). We position the piano in your chosen room and ensure it is stable and level. Tuning, repairs, long-term storage and piano disposal are not included as standard, but we can advise or help arrange these through trusted partners if required.
How is a professional piano removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service typically provides transport and labour, but not the specialist skills, equipment or insurance needed for safe piano moves. We use piano-specific skids, dollies and padding, and our staff are trained in correct lifting techniques and how to handle the weight distribution of different piano types. We also plan access routes, check parking and ensure the instrument is properly secured during transit. This professional approach significantly reduces the risk of damage to your piano and property, and is supported by appropriate insurance cover.
How far in advance should I book a piano removal?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time, or if the piano is a grand with complex access. This allows time for any necessary survey and ensures we can allocate the right team and equipment. However, we understand that moves are not always predictable, and we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we can usually offer.
Man with Van
Man with Van Fulham – Professional Local Removals
At Man and Van Fulham, our man with van Fulham service is a flexible, professional removals option for smaller moves, quick jobs and cost‑effective transport across Fulham and the surrounding areas. You get the convenience of a traditional man-and-van, backed by a fully insured, established removals company with trained staff, modern vehicles and clear pricing.
What Our Man with Van Service Includes
Our man with van service sits between a casual courier and a full-scale removal. You get a trained mover (or team) plus a suitable van, booked by the hour or on a fixed-price basis, to handle your items with proper care and planning.
Typical Service Variations
- Single-item moves – sofas, wardrobes, appliances, mattresses
- Small flat or studio moves – ideal for renters and students
- Part-load moves – when you don’t need a full removal lorry
- Office clearances and relocations – desks, chairs, IT equipment
- Store collections – furniture or bulky items from retailers
- Urgent same-day transport – subject to availability
Local Expertise in Fulham
We work in Fulham every day. Knowing the local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts means we can plan your move realistically and avoid delays.
- Experience with mansion blocks and period conversions on Fulham Road, New Kings Road and Dawes Road
- Familiar with controlled parking zones and loading restrictions near Parsons Green, Fulham Broadway and Putney Bridge
- Regular runs to local storage facilities, recycling centres and nearby boroughs
Our drivers and porters are used to tight staircases, top-floor flats without lifts and busy one-way systems, so your move is handled calmly and efficiently.
Who Our Man with Van Fulham Service Is For
- Homeowners – moving a few larger items before or after the main removal, or transporting purchases.
- Renters – ideal for one- or two-bed flats when you want a more economical alternative to a large removal crew.
- Landlords – clearing or furnishing properties between tenancies.
- Businesses – small office relocations, event equipment, archive moves.
- Students – term-time moves between Fulham, halls and storage.
If you’re unsure whether you need a full removal or a man with van, we will advise honestly based on the volume, access and your timings.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, bookcases
- Domestic appliances – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers (disconnected)
- Moving boxes, plastic crates and bags
- Office furniture and filing
- Personal belongings, clothes and books
- TVs, small electronics and IT equipment (appropriately packed)
Items We Usually Exclude or Need to Assess
- Hazardous materials – gas cylinders, fuel, chemicals, paint, solvents
- Live animals or pets
- Cash, jewellery and high-value artwork (special arrangements required)
- Industrial machinery or oversized commercial equipment
- Pianos and very heavy safes (we can arrange specialist crews separately)
Please tell us in advance about any particularly heavy, fragile or unusual items so we can send the right team, equipment and vehicle.
Our Step-by-Step Man with Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: where you’re moving from and to, date, property type and an outline of what needs moving. We’ll ask a few focused questions to understand access, parking and timing. You then receive a clear quotation – either hourly or fixed price – with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most man with van jobs in Fulham, a quick virtual survey (photos, video call or inventory list) is enough. For more complex access or larger volumes, we may visit in person. The survey helps us choose the right van size, number of movers, and estimate the time accurately. This keeps costs fair and reduces the risk of overruns on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide professional packing as an optional extra. If you pack yourself, we’ll advise on box sizes, labelling and protecting fragile items. On the day, our team will bring blankets, straps and basic tools. Where agreed, we can dismantle simple furniture (beds, tables) and wrap delicate pieces for safe transport.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained movers load your belongings carefully, using covers, blankets and ties to protect items and prevent movement in transit. We plan the loading order so that what you need first at the new address comes out first. The driver then takes the most efficient, sensible route, balancing time with safe driving and vehicle limits.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, not just the doorstep. We will place furniture where you want it and reassemble agreed items. Before we leave, we ask you to walk around and check you’re happy that everything is in the right place and in the condition it left.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge
We believe in plain, upfront pricing for our man with van Fulham service. Costs are typically based on:
- Van size and number of movers
- Expected duration (hourly rate or fixed price)
- Travel distance between addresses
- Extra services such as packing or furniture assembly
Parking charges, congestion and tolls (if applicable) are explained in advance. There are no surprise fees on the day; if circumstances change – for example, additional items or access issues – we’ll discuss options with you before proceeding.
Why Choose a Professional Service Over DIY
Hiring a casual van or asking friends may look cheaper, but often costs more in time, stress and damage. With Man and Van Fulham, you benefit from:
- Professional handling – trained staff who move heavy and awkward items daily
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools to protect your belongings
- Goods in transit insurance – financial protection if something goes wrong
- Reliable timings – we turn up when agreed, with the right-sized vehicle
- Less risk of injury – avoiding back strain or accidents on stairs
For many clients, the peace of mind of using a structured, accountable service far outweighs the small saving of doing it themselves.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As an established removals company, not just a casual operator, we maintain comprehensive cover and high operational standards.
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are in our vehicles (subject to terms and declared values).
- Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
- Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in safe lifting, packing techniques and customer care.
- Vehicle maintenance and safety checks – for reliable arrivals and compliant operation.
Details of cover levels are available on request, and we are happy to explain how they apply to your particular move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move as if it were our own belongings. Protective blankets, mattress covers and careful stacking come as standard. Fragile and high-value items receive additional wrapping and handling, and we are honest if something needs specialist attention.
We also aim to reduce waste and environmental impact:
- Re-usable moving blankets and furniture covers
- Option to hire re-usable crates instead of single-use boxes
- Route planning to minimise mileage where practical
- Responsible disposal or recycling of unwanted items by prior arrangement
Real-World Use Cases in Fulham
Moving House or Flat
Ideal for studio and one-bedroom flats in Fulham, our man with van can handle your entire move in a single or double trip, depending on volume. We regularly help renters move locally between roads like Fulham Palace Road, Munster Road and around Parsons Green.
Office Relocation
For smaller businesses, our service is perfect for moving desks, chairs, computers and files to new premises or co-working spaces. We can operate outside normal office hours to minimise disruption and ensure equipment is set down where you need it.
Urgent or Same-Day Moves
When something unexpected happens – a tenancy ending sooner than planned, a last-minute purchase, or a delivery let down – we can often provide same-day or next-day man with van support in Fulham, subject to availability. We will always be clear about what is realistically possible within your time frame.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with van in Fulham cost?
Pricing depends on the size of van, number of movers and how long the job takes. For straightforward local moves, we often work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, so you only pay for the time you need. For defined moves with clear inventories, we can offer a fixed price. Factors such as parking, access (stairs, lifts) and distance between addresses may affect the overall cost. We will always provide a written quote before you commit.
Can you offer same-day or urgent man with van bookings?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice man with van jobs in Fulham, especially on weekdays. Availability depends on our existing schedule, the size of van needed and how far we must travel. The more information you can give us when you call – including approximate load size and access details – the easier it is for us to confirm a realistic time. For very urgent moves, we focus on safety and clear communication rather than over-promising.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. Insurance is designed to complement, not replace, your own contents cover, so high-value or unusual items should be discussed with us beforehand. We’re happy to explain how our policies apply, what is included or excluded, and how best to protect particularly valuable possessions.
What is included in your man with van service?
As standard, you get a suitable van, a professional driver-mover, fuel, protective blankets and loading and unloading within the agreed time. We place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle or assemble simple furniture by prior agreement. Extras such as full packing, packing materials, disposal runs or additional porters can be added if required. Parking fees and congestion or clean air charges, where applicable, are passed on at cost and explained clearly in your quotation before you book.
What’s the difference between this and a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van is usually just a van and a driver, with variable reliability and limited protection if something goes wrong. Our service is run by a professional removals company with trained staff, structured processes and proper insurance. We carry the correct equipment, plan each job in advance and are accountable if issues arise. In practice, this means fewer delays, better care of your belongings and a much clearer idea of cost and timing from the outset.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend and end-of-month slots, we recommend booking one to two weeks ahead to secure your preferred time. Midweek and off-peak dates are often available at shorter notice. If your plans are still forming, we can provide a provisional quote and hold a slot for a limited period. For last-minute moves, it’s always worth calling – we’ll do our best to fit you in or suggest realistic alternatives if we’re already at capacity.
Man and a Van
Man and a Van Fulham – Professional Local Moving Service
At Man and Van Fulham, our man and a van service is built for people who want a reliable, well-organised move without the cost and complexity of a full-scale removals crew. You still get an experienced driver, a properly equipped van, and a careful, professional approach – just in a more flexible, pay-for-what-you-need format.
What Our Man and a Van Service Includes
Our man and a van in Fulham is ideal for small to medium moves and transport jobs where you still want a fully insured, trained mover managing your belongings.
Typical jobs we handle
- Studio and 1–2 bedroom flat moves
- Small house moves within London or to the surrounding counties
- Student moves to and from halls or shared houses
- Furniture collections from shops, eBay, Gumtree and storage units

- Landlords – fast clearance and delivery of furniture or appliances.
- Businesses – flexible transport for equipment, files and small office moves.
- Students – budget-friendly, reliable term-time and end-of-lease moves.
Local Expertise in Fulham
Working in Fulham every day means we understand the realities of moving here: tight streets, controlled parking zones, narrow stairwells and busy peak times. We routinely arrange parking suspensions where needed, plan routes to avoid major congestion, and schedule moves to fit building management rules.
Our drivers and porters know the Fulham area well – from mansion blocks off Fulham Road to riverside apartments and terraced houses near the Broadway. That local knowledge helps us work quickly and calmly, even when access is challenging.
What We Can and Can’t Move
Items typically included
- Domestic furniture: beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, chests of drawers
- Appliances: washing machines, fridges, freezers (properly disconnected)
- Boxes, suitcases, bags and personal belongings

- Flat-pack furniture, assembled or dismantled
Items we cannot move

- Live animals or pets
- Illegal items or goods of unknown origin
- Unsecured jewellery, cash or high-value documents
- Industrial machinery or items exceeding safe manual handling limits
- Large pianos and specialist items (these require a dedicated service)
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, mention it during your enquiry and we will advise.
Our Step-by-Step Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: addresses, dates, list of main items, any access issues and whether you need packing help. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give – usually the same day.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For straightforward man and a van jobs, a phone or video survey is normally enough. For more complex moves – multiple flights of stairs, long carries or unusual items – we may recommend a brief onsite visit so we can quote accurately and plan properly.
3. Packing & Preparation
Most clients using our man and a van service choose to pack themselves. We can supply boxes, tape and wrapping materials in advance if needed. If you prefer, we also offer a packing service, where our trained team carefully packs your belongings, labels boxes and prepares furniture for safe transport.
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, we arrive at the agreed time in a clean, equipped van with blankets, straps and trolleys. We protect furniture, load methodically and secure everything for the journey. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while in our care and on the road.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload to the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it. We can reassemble basic items we dismantled for transport and will not leave until you are happy that everything agreed has been delivered and positioned.
Transparent Pricing for Man and a Van in Fulham
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras.
How we price
- Hourly rates for local moves within Fulham and nearby areas.
- Set fixed prices available for well-defined jobs (for example, a small flat move with clear inventory).
- Optional add-ons for packing, materials supply and extra movers.
Factors that affect the price include distance, number of floors, whether there is a lift, volume of goods, access restrictions and how many movers are required. We will explain your options so you can choose the most cost-effective approach.
Why Choose a Professional Man and a Van Instead of DIY
Hiring a casual van or asking friends to help may look cheaper at first glance, but it often ends up costing more in time, stress and breakages. With Man and Van Fulham you get:
- Trained movers who understand safe lifting and proper loading techniques.
- Fully insured transport, including goods in transit and public liability cover.
- Correct equipment: blankets, straps, trolleys and tools for dismantling furniture.
- Reliable timing – we turn up when we say we will and stick to the plan.
- Accountability – a registered, professional removals business, not a cash-in-hand side job.
This means fewer damaged items, fewer last-minute problems and a smoother move from start to finish.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised removals-industry standards to give you confidence that your belongings are in safe hands.
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are being moved.
- Public liability cover for peace of mind on your premises and in communal areas.
- Trained moving teams with practical experience handling furniture, appliances and fragile items.
- Regularly maintained vehicles fitted for removals work.
Policy details and limits are available on request and can be discussed before you book.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings and property with care. Furniture is wrapped or blanket-protected, and we use floor and door protection where needed, especially in communal areas and newly decorated homes.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we reuse packaging materials, encourage clients to opt for reusable crates for suitable jobs, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.
Real-World Ways Clients Use Our Service
Moving House or Flat
For many Fulham clients in one- or two-bedroom properties, our man and a van service provides just the right level of support: a couple of professional movers, an appropriately sized van and a well-organised move completed in a single day.
Office and Business Moves
Small businesses use us to relocate between offices or to move surplus furniture into storage. We work around your trading hours to keep disruption to a minimum and can handle IT equipment and boxed files with care and discretion.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Sometimes plans change quickly – a tenancy ends sooner than expected or a purchase falls through. Subject to availability, we can often provide same-day or next-day man and a van in Fulham. A quick call is usually the best way to check what we can do at short notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and a van in Fulham cost?
Costs depend mainly on time, distance, access and how many movers you need. For local jobs we typically charge an hourly rate, with a minimum booking period. Longer-distance moves or clearly defined jobs can be priced as a fixed quote. To give an accurate figure we will ask about addresses, floors, lifts, parking and the volume of items. There are no hidden charges – any congestion charges, parking fees or extra services are explained before you confirm your booking.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man and a van?
Yes, subject to availability we do offer same-day and short-notice man and a van services in Fulham and the surrounding areas. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible with your details so we can check our schedule and allocate a van and team. Even at short notice we will still confirm the cost and what is included before sending our movers, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our van, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property during the move. Insurance is there as a safety net, but our first priority is prevention: careful packing, secure loading and proper handling. If you have any particularly high-value items, please mention them in advance so we can confirm cover limits and whether any special arrangements are required.
What exactly is included in your man and a van service?
Our standard service includes a dedicated van, a professional driver-mover, loading, secure transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We supply all the moving equipment needed for safe handling, including blankets and straps. Optional extras include additional movers, packing services and packing materials. We do not provide cleaning, waste disposal or disconnection of appliances, but we are happy to coordinate timings with other trades if required so your move runs smoothly.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van advert?
Many casual man-and-van providers operate without formal training, insurance or proper equipment. We run a structured removals business with trained staff, maintained vehicles, goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. We survey jobs where needed, provide written confirmations and turn up when agreed. That means your belongings are handled methodically, not rushed into the back of a van, and you have a clear point of contact if your plans change or you need further assistance.
How far in advance should I book?
For peak times and weekends in Fulham, booking one to two weeks in advance is sensible, especially if your dates are fixed. For midweek or smaller jobs, we can often accommodate bookings with a few days’ notice. If your move date is not yet confirmed, we can pencil you in and firm up once contracts or tenancy agreements are finalised. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we will have to offer your preferred time slot.
Flat Removals

- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal or stolen goods
- Live animals (including pets and livestock)
- Valuables such as cash, important documents or jewellery – best carried by you
- Industrial machinery or items exceeding safe manual handling limits without prior arrangement
If you’re unsure about a specific item, just ask – we’ll provide clear guidance before moving day.
Our Flat Removals Process – Step by Step
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with basic details: your current flat, destination address, access notes and an approximate list of items. We’ll provide a clear, no-obligation estimate and explain any options that might save you time or money.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a brief survey. This can be done virtually (video call and photos) or in person in Fulham. We check access, parking, stairs/lifts and the size/volume of your belongings so we can send the right vehicle and team.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack yourself or use our professional packing service. If you pack, we’ll advise on box sizes, labelling and fragile items. If we pack for you, our team arrive with materials, wrap and box everything securely, and prepare furniture for safe transport.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, we arrive on time, walk through the flat with you and plan the loading order. Floors, bannisters and doors are protected where needed. Items are carried out safely, loaded methodically and secured inside our vehicles for the journey.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new flat, we unload, place furniture and boxes in the rooms you choose and reassemble any furniture we dismantled. We carry out a final check with you before leaving to ensure everything is where you need it and nothing has been overlooked.
Transparent Flat Removals Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of goods (how much space your belongings take in the van)
- Access difficulty (stairs, distance from van to flat, lift availability)
- Number of movers required
- Travel distance and expected duration
- Any optional extras (packing service, materials, dismantling/reassembly)
Smaller flat moves in Fulham are often priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger or more complex moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. All costs are agreed in advance so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Choose Professional Flat Removals Over DIY
Hiring a van and asking friends can look cheaper at first, but for flats in particular it often leads to longer days, damaged items and strained relationships. Professional flat removals from Man and Van Fulham offer:
- Trained movers used to tight stairwells and complex access
- Proper equipment, including trolleys and protective covers
- Fully insured vehicles and staff for your peace of mind
- Efficient loading, so fewer trips and less time wasted
- Reduced risk of injury from heavy lifting or awkward angles
A casual man-with-a-van may not provide detailed planning, insurance cover or a reliable timetable. Our service is structured, accountable and designed to protect both you and your belongings.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We understand that you’re trusting us with items that matter to you. That’s why Man and Van Fulham operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property and communal areas
- Trained moving teams with experience in flat and apartment moves
We work to recognised industry standards, with clear communication, punctual arrivals and respectful behaviour in shared buildings. Any specific building rules (lift booking, quiet hours, loading bay use) are followed carefully.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your belongings and your building are treated with care throughout:
- Use of blankets, padding and straps to protect furniture
- Protection for doorways, bannisters and floors where required
- Safe manual handling techniques to avoid drops and impacts
We also take sustainability seriously. Wherever possible, we:
- Reuse strong cartons and packing materials
- Encourage customers to return usable boxes
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce fuel usage
- Dispose of unwanted items responsibly, using recycling facilities where available
Real-World Flat Removal Scenarios We Handle
Moving Between Flats in Fulham
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or simply changing area, we regularly move customers between flats entirely within Fulham, often on tight timescales linked to tenancy start and end dates.
Office or Home Office Relocation
Small businesses and remote workers based in flats rely on us to move desks, IT equipment and files securely, with minimal disruption to their working day and full insurance for business items.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Tenancy issues, sudden job changes or personal circumstances sometimes require a quick move. Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or next-day flat removals in Fulham, still maintaining our usual standards of planning and care.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a flat removal in Fulham cost?
The cost depends mainly on how much you have to move, access at each property and the distance travelled. Smaller studio or one-bedroom flat moves within Fulham are often charged on an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while larger flats or longer distances are usually quoted as a fixed price. Optional services such as packing or furniture dismantling will add to the cost but can save you considerable time and effort. We’ll provide a clear, itemised quote in advance so there are no surprises on the day.
Can you do same-day or urgent flat removals?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice flat moves in Fulham, depending on existing bookings and the size of your move. Smaller moves with good access are usually easier to fit in at short notice, while larger or more complex jobs may require at least a little planning time. If your move is urgent, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details so we can confirm availability, allocate an appropriate team and vehicle, and give you realistic timescales.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work in and around your property. This provides protection against accidental damage arising from our work. There are standard exclusions, such as cash, jewellery and important documents, which we recommend you carry yourself. We’ll explain the key points of cover when you book, and you’re welcome to ask for specific policy details if you need them for your own records or peace of mind.
What is included in your flat removals service?
Our standard flat removals service includes a vehicle and professional moving team, loading and unloading, transport between addresses and basic protection for your furniture in the van. We move typical household items, place furniture and boxes in the rooms you choose, and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture if agreed in advance. Packing materials and a full packing service are optional extras. We’re always clear in writing about what is and isn’t included in your quote so you can plan properly and avoid any confusion on moving day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a basic man-and-van can work for very small or low-risk moves, our service is designed to be more structured and reliable. We provide trained staff, proper insurance, pre-move planning and clear communication throughout. We assess access, choose the right vehicle and equipment, protect your items and building, and work to agreed times. For flat moves in particular, where access and neighbours must be handled carefully, this professional approach reduces stress, risk of damage and delays, and gives you a clear point of responsibility if anything unexpected occurs.
How far in advance should I book my flat removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at month-end or during weekends, we recommend booking your Fulham flat removal at least 1–2 weeks in advance. That said, we understand that moves are not always confirmed that early, particularly with rentals and completions, so we do our best to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Once you have a likely date, get in touch so we can pencil you in and then confirm final details as soon as your timings are fixed.
Student Removals
Student Removals Fulham – Man and Van Fulham
At Man and Van Fulham, we provide straightforward, affordable student removals across Fulham, West London and beyond. Whether you are moving into halls, changing house share, heading home for summer, or relocating for a placement, we make the whole process simple, safe and stress-free.
Professional Student Removals in Fulham
We specialise in smaller, time-sensitive moves where reliability matters. Our professional teams are used to narrow staircases, packed student rooms and busy move-out days around campus. We work regularly with students from Imperial, LSE, UCL and other London universities who live in and around Fulham.
Every move is handled by a trained, fully insured crew using the same standards we apply to full-scale house moves. You get punctual arrivals, careful handling of your belongings, and clear communication from start to finish.
Who Our Fulham Student Removal Service Is For
Students
Ideal if you are:
- Moving into or out of halls or private student accommodation in Fulham
- Changing flat share across London or into another UK city
- Heading home for the summer and need storage or transport
- International and require careful packing for onward shipping
Homeowners & Parents
We regularly help parents collecting or dropping off their children’s belongings at the start or end of term. If you cannot be in London on the day, we can work directly with building reception or housemates, with photo confirmation once the move is complete.
Renters, Landlords & Businesses
- Renters – Young professionals sharing with students who need part-load or room-only moves.
- Landlords – Clearing or delivering furniture for student lets in Fulham.
- Businesses – Moving interns or graduate employees into local accommodation.
What’s Included in Our Student Removals Service
Items We Commonly Move
Most typical student belongings are covered, including:
- Suitcases, bags, boxes and crates
- Desks, chairs, bedside tables and small wardrobes
- Mattresses and dismantled bed frames
- Bookcases and shelving units
- TVs, monitors, PCs, consoles and speakers
- Kitchenware, small appliances, cookware and utensils
- Course materials, books, folders and stationery
- Bicycles and sports equipment
Items We Cannot or May Not Move
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, we usually exclude:
- Illegal or hazardous items (gas cylinders, explosives, chemicals, fuel)
- Open containers of liquids, paint or solvents
- Valuables such as jewellery, passports, cash and important documents (these should travel with you)
- Pets or live animals
- Items that are excessively dirty, infested or unsafe to handle
If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask – we will advise on the best way to handle it.
Our Step-by-Step Student Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or form with a rough list of what you are moving, your addresses and preferred dates. We will give a clear, no-obligation estimate based on the volume, access, distance and timing. For straightforward student rooms in Fulham, we can usually quote the same day.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most student moves, a quick virtual survey via video call or photos is enough. This helps us check van size, parking, staircases and any dismantling required. For larger shared houses or awkward access, we can arrange an onsite visit in and around Fulham.
3. Packing & Preparation
- Self-pack – You pack your belongings into boxes; we supply packing tips and can provide quality boxes and tape at fair prices.
- Part or full packing service – Our trained team packs for you, ideal if you are short on time or moving fragile tech and study materials.
We label boxes clearly by room and contents, so unpacking at the other end is simple.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional crew arrives on time with the right vehicle, trolley and protective equipment. We protect surfaces, banisters and doors where needed, then load systematically to keep your items secure in transit. Your belongings travel in clean, well-maintained vans covered by goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new room or property, we unload and place items in the rooms you specify. We can reassemble basic furniture and position desks, beds and shelving so you can get organised quickly and focus on settling in and studying.
Transparent Pricing for Student Moves
We know budgets matters for students and parents, so our pricing is clear and straightforward. We typically price student removals in Fulham based on:
- Van size and number of movers required
- Journey distance and estimated time
- Level of packing help needed
- Any special access or heavy items
We will always explain your options, such as off-peak moves, shared loads or smaller vehicles, to keep costs sensible. There are no hidden call-out fees – everything is agreed in writing before we confirm the booking.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Trying to move your whole room in taxis or borrowing a friend’s car often ends up costing more time, money and stress than expected. Using a professional removals company in Fulham means:
- No multiple trips back and forth across London
- Proper protection for fragile tech, monitors and instruments
- Safe lifting, avoiding injury on stairs and tight corners
- Reliable timing around key collection and check-in slots
- Coverage under goods in transit insurance
Compared with a casual man-and-van, you also benefit from vetted staff, written terms, and structured processes, so you know exactly what to expect.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As an established Fulham removals company, we operate to clear professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – To protect your belongings while they are being moved.
- Public liability cover – For peace of mind in shared buildings and student blocks.
- Trained moving teams – Experienced staff who know how to handle heavy, awkward and fragile items safely.
We carry out regular vehicle checks and use appropriate straps, blankets and covers. If anything unexpected happens, you are protected and we deal with it promptly and professionally.
Care, Protection & Sustainability
Even though student moves are often smaller, we apply the same care we would to a full house relocation. We use protective blankets, mattress covers and TV protection where required, and take care not to mark walls, floors or communal areas.
Where possible, we re-use strong, clean packing materials and recycle what we can. Our routes are planned to minimise mileage and congestion, especially around busy parts of Fulham and West London, helping reduce environmental impact.
Real-World Student Removal Use Cases
Moving Into Halls or First-Year Accommodation
We help new students and their families bring belongings from across the UK straight to Fulham and neighbouring areas. We coordinate timings with building reception, ensuring a smooth check-in even on busy arrival weekends.
House Share & Flat Moves
If you are moving from halls to a shared house or flat, we can handle everything from a single room to an entire shared property. We work considerately around existing housemates and neighbours, keeping disruption to a minimum.
End-of-Term & Summer Moves
When term ends, we move you back home, into short-term storage or to new accommodation. For international students, we can pack and transport items to shipping agents or storage facilities for onward travel.
Urgent & Last-Minute Student Moves
Occasionally, tenancies fall through or circumstances change at short notice. Where we have availability, we offer urgent or same-day student removals in Fulham and across London, responding quickly and calmly when plans change.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do student removals in Fulham cost?
Costs depend on how much you are moving, the distance between properties and the level of help you need. A small room move within Fulham is often charged by the hour with a minimum booking time, while longer-distance or larger moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. To keep things affordable, we will ask for an accurate item list and access details so we can size the job correctly. Once agreed, your price is clearly confirmed in writing with no hidden extras.
Can you do same-day or urgent student moves?
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice student removals in and around Fulham. Availability is best midweek and outside peak term-end dates, but it is always worth calling to check. For urgent moves, having photos or a quick video of your room ready helps us quote and allocate the right van quickly. While we cannot guarantee every date, we will always be honest about what is realistic and offer the nearest suitable option.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Your items are covered under our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to our standard terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for work in shared buildings and student blocks. We will explain any limits or exclusions clearly before booking, and can advise if you have specific high-value items. For irreplaceable documents, cash or jewellery, we always recommend you keep these with you personally rather than sending them on the van.
What is included in your student removals service?
Our standard service includes loading from your current address, secure transport in a suitable vehicle, and unloading into the rooms you specify at your new place. We provide basic protection such as blankets and straps as standard. You can add packing materials, partial or full packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly if needed. Parking arrangements and access should be organised in advance, but we are happy to advise on what is required for your particular building in Fulham.
What is the difference between your removals service and a casual man-and-van?
With us, you get a structured service run by a professional removals company: trained staff, suitable vehicles, written confirmation, and proper insurance. Casual man-and-van operators often work informally, may not have goods in transit or public liability cover, and might not provide clear terms. For students with valuable laptops, monitors and coursework, that extra level of protection and reliability is important. We also offer packing options, furniture assembly and flexible scheduling that many ad-hoc operators cannot match.
How far in advance should I book my student move?
For peak times such as the start and end of term, we recommend booking 2–3 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. For quieter periods, a week is often enough, and we can sometimes accommodate moves at much shorter notice. The earlier you contact us, the more options you will have, especially if you need a particular time slot to match key collection or check-in at halls. We are always happy to pencil in provisional dates while you finalise your plans.

For small businesses and home offices in Fulham, we move desks, IT equipment, files and stock with careful labelling and placement, helping you get back to work quickly and with minimal downtime.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with the basic details of your move: addresses, property sizes, dates and any special requirements. We’ll provide an initial estimate or arrange a convenient time for a more detailed assessment.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
We carry out a survey by video call, phone with photos, or an onsite visit in Fulham. This lets us understand access, parking, volumes, and any fragile or high-value items, so we can allocate the right team, vehicle and time.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack yourself, use our professional packing service, or a mix of both. We can supply materials, pack fragile items such as glassware and artwork, and dismantle agreed furniture. Clear labelling and room-by-room organisation make unpacking easier.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our team arrives at the agreed time, protects key areas and carefully loads your belongings. Items are secured in the vehicle using padded blankets and straps. We then transport them via the most efficient route, keeping you informed of progress.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload systematically, placing furniture and boxes in the rooms you specify. We can reassemble agreed items and make sensible suggestions about layout if you’d like a second opinion. Before leaving, we check you’re satisfied and that nothing has been missed.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Fulham
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote is based on:
- Volume of items to be moved
- Access and distance between properties
- Number of movers and vehicles required
- Additional services such as packing, materials or storage
- Timing (weekdays, weekends, evenings or urgent moves)
For smaller moves, we may offer a simple hourly rate with a minimum booking time. For full house moves, we usually provide a fixed price for the agreed scope of work, so you know exactly what to budget.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company offers significant benefits over doing it yourself or relying on a casual man-and-van:
- Safety – trained teams use correct lifting techniques and equipment
- Protection – proper wrapping, padding and securing of items
- Efficiency – moves completed faster and more smoothly
- Reliability – confirmed bookings and structured planning
- Insurance – cover in place if something goes wrong
DIY moves often underestimate time, vehicle size and physical effort. With us, you avoid last-minute issues and reduce the risk of damage to your belongings and property.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We operate to clear professional standards and carry appropriate cover, including:
- Goods in transit insurance – protection for your items while they are being moved
- Public liability cover – in case of accidental damage to third-party property
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff, briefed on your specific job
We’ll explain the key terms of our cover and any limits or exclusions, so you can make an informed decision and, if needed, arrange extra cover for unusually high-value items.
Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability
We treat every move as if it were our own home. That means careful planning, protective measures and responsible choices:
- Use of floor runners and door protection where needed
- Wrapping of furniture and fragile items in padded blankets
- Thoughtful stacking and securing of loads to prevent movement
- Reusing boxes and materials where safe and appropriate
- Recycling unwanted cardboard and packaging whenever possible
- Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions
We’re always looking for practical ways to reduce waste and minimise the environmental impact of each move, without compromising on protection.
Real-World House Removals Use Cases

Office and Home Office Moves
For small businesses, freelancers and home workers, we move equipment, stock and documents with minimal disruption, ensuring everything arrives clearly labelled and ready to set up.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Occasionally, circumstances change and an urgent move is required. Where availability allows, we offer same-day or next-day assistance, focusing on safely moving essentials first and arranging follow-up trips if necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Fulham cost?
The cost of a house removal in Fulham depends on several factors: the size of your property, the volume of belongings, access at each address, distance travelled and any extra services such as packing or storage. Small local moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while full house moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. After a brief discussion and, where needed, a survey, we’ll provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what is included and can budget with confidence.
Can you handle same-day or urgent house removals?
We can often assist with same-day or urgent moves, especially within Fulham and nearby areas, but it depends on existing bookings and team availability. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with full details of your situation. We’ll quickly assess what can be done, prioritise essential items, and provide realistic timeframes. In some cases, we may recommend a phased move, dealing with critical items first and arranging additional trips once more time and resources are available.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our care, plus public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. Our aim is always to prevent damage through careful handling, but insurance offers extra reassurance. We’ll explain the key terms of our cover, including any single-item or total value limits, and advise if certain high-value items would benefit from additional specialist insurance or prior valuation.
What is included in your house removals service as standard?
Our standard house removals service covers the safe loading, transport and unloading of your belongings between addresses. This includes a suitable removals vehicle, trained movers, protective blankets, basic floor protection, and placement of items into the rooms you specify. We also carry out basic dismantling of standard items, if agreed in advance. Optional extras such as packing, materials, storage and disposal of unwanted items can be added if required, and will be clearly listed in your written quote before you confirm the booking.
What’s the difference between your service and a casual man-and-van?
While a basic man-and-van may suit very small or simple jobs, our service is designed for full, secure and reliable house moves. We provide professional teams, structured planning, appropriate insurance, and the right equipment to protect your belongings and property. We carry out surveys where needed, give written quotes, and work to agreed schedules. This reduces the risk of last-minute cancellations, under-sized vehicles, or damage due to inexperience, which are common issues when using informal, uninsured operators.
How far in advance should I book my house removal?
Ideally, you should book as soon as your move date is likely, especially if you’re moving at the end of the month, during school holidays or on a Friday, when demand in Fulham is higher. Many customers confirm their booking one to four weeks in advance. However, we understand that dates can change, particularly with property chains, so we try to be flexible. If your move is last-minute, contact us anyway – we’ll always do our best to find a practical solution.
Furniture Removals
Furniture Removals Fulham – Man and Van Fulham
At Man and Van Fulham, we provide careful, efficient and professional furniture removals across Fulham and the surrounding areas. Whether you are moving a single sofa across town or a full household into storage, our experienced team handles your furniture as if it were our own.
Specialist Furniture Removals in Fulham
Our dedicated furniture removal service is built around the specific challenges of moving bulky, heavy and often delicate items in busy Fulham streets. Narrow stairwells, top-floor flats and controlled parking zones are all part of our everyday work, and we plan each job so that everything runs smoothly on the day.
We use clean, well-maintained vans, purpose-made removal blankets, straps, floor protection and tools to dismantle and reassemble items where needed. Every move is overseen by a trained team leader who ensures your furniture is protected from the moment we arrive until the last item is placed in its new position.
Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving house within Fulham or across London, we can manage all your furniture removals, from large wardrobes and beds to delicate sideboards and dining sets. We coordinate with your completion times and work to a clear schedule to reduce moving-day stress.
Renters
Tenants moving between rented properties often have to work within tight timeframes and strict building rules. We protect walls, doors and lifts, and we are happy to work with inventory clerks or landlords to ensure both properties are left in good order.
Landlords
We assist landlords with clearing or refurnishing rental properties, removing old furniture for disposal and delivering replacement items. We work efficiently to minimise void periods and can coordinate access with agents or building managers.
Businesses
Our team supports local offices, shops and studios with office furniture removals, including desks, meeting tables, filing cabinets and shelving. We can work out of hours or at weekends to minimise disruption to your operations.
Students
Students in and around Fulham trust us for small furniture removals between halls, shared houses and storage. We offer cost-effective options for smaller loads and can combine collections where practical to keep prices fair.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Included in Our Furniture Removals
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Bookcases, shelving and display units
- Office desks, chairs and filing cabinets
- Flat-pack furniture (dismantled or assembled)
- TV units, coffee tables and occasional furniture
- Garden tables, chairs and outdoor storage boxes
Items We Typically Exclude
For safety, legal and insurance reasons we normally cannot transport:
- Hazardous materials (paint, fuel, chemicals, gas bottles)
- Illegal or stolen goods
- Large commercial machinery or industrial equipment
- Live animals
- High-value jewellery, cash or important documents (these are best carried by you personally)
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, simply ask when you enquire and we will advise.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with details of your furniture, addresses and access. We will ask a few clear questions so we understand stairs, parking, lift access and any particularly heavy or fragile items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs or complex properties, we arrange a short video call or onsite visit. This allows us to measure larger items, check access routes and confirm any dismantling work. A proper survey means we send the right size vehicle, the right number of movers and enough protection materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day, we bring all necessary protective materials. If you choose our packing service, we can wrap delicate furniture, glass tops and mirrors in advance. We also dismantle beds, tables and wardrobes where needed, carefully labelling fixings so reassembly is straightforward.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your furniture systematically, using removal blankets, corner protectors and securing everything with straps. We work efficiently but never rush the handling of your items. Your goods travel in clean, purpose-equipped vehicles directly to your new address or storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we place furniture exactly where you want it and can reassemble items we dismantled at collection. We encourage you to walk through each room at the end so that any adjustments can be made before we leave.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our furniture removals in Fulham are typically priced either:
- On an hourly rate for smaller or flexible jobs, or
- As a fixed price for clearly defined moves with confirmed inventories.
Your quote will explain exactly what is included: number of movers, vehicle size, approximate duration, and any additional services such as packing or dismantling. Parking charges and congestion charges are highlighted in advance where they apply. If your requirements change, we will always discuss any price adjustments with you before proceeding.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Moving furniture yourself or with a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper at first, but it often leads to damaged items, injuries or unexpected delays. With Man and Van Fulham you benefit from:
- Professional handling techniques that protect your back and your belongings
- Proper equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Careful planning of access, parking and route
- Fully insured cover for your goods in transit
- Reliable arrival times and realistic schedules
When you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work and the risk of damage, a professional removals service is usually the more sensible and economical choice.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Man and Van Fulham operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your furniture while it is being moved
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties
- Trained and vetted removals staff, experienced in safe lifting and secure packing
We follow recognised industry best practice for wrapping, lifting and loading, and we regularly refresh staff training to ensure consistent standards on every job.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your furniture deserves to arrive in the same condition it left. We use high-quality blankets, mattress protectors, shrink wrap and corner guards to minimise the risk of scuffs and scratches. Floors, banisters and doorways can be protected on request, which is particularly helpful in communal areas and newly decorated properties.
We are mindful of our environmental impact. Reusable protective materials are cleaned and re-used wherever possible, and we plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. When disposing of old furniture, we aim to use licensed recycling centres and reuse schemes where practical.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House within or from Fulham
From period terraces to modern apartments, we manage full house moves and partial moves, including taking selected furniture into storage while you renovate. We coordinate closely with your timings and can work alongside other contractors if needed.
Office Relocations
For businesses, we can move office furniture within the same building or to a new site. Desks, meeting tables, chairs and storage are carefully labelled and placed so your team can get back to work quickly. Weekend and evening moves are available by arrangement.
Urgent or Same-Day Moves
Life does not always run to plan. Where schedules allow, we offer same-day or next-day furniture removals in Fulham for urgent situations such as last-minute tenancy changes, relationship breakdowns or delayed completion dates. We will always be honest about what can realistically be achieved within the time available.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Fulham cost?
The cost depends on the volume of furniture, access at each property, distance between addresses and whether you need packing or dismantling. Smaller jobs are often charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while larger moves are usually quoted at a fixed price. To give you an accurate figure, we will ask for a list of main items and details of stairs, lifts and parking. All quotes are itemised and obligation-free, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you book.
Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Yes, subject to availability we can often arrange same-day or next-day furniture removals in Fulham. Urgent moves work best when you can provide a clear list of items, photos and access details right away so we can assess the time and vehicle size required. While we cannot guarantee last-minute slots every day, we will always try to accommodate emergency situations or offer the nearest alternative time that works for you.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved in our vehicles, and we carry public liability cover for accidental damage to property. Our team also works to minimise risk through proper wrapping, lifting and loading techniques. There are standard exclusions and limits, which we are happy to explain and provide in writing. For very high-value or particularly fragile items, we may recommend additional specialist cover or handling arrangements.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, all necessary blankets and securing straps, loading at the collection address, safe transport and unloading at the destination. On request, we can also provide packing and wrapping of delicate furniture, dismantling and reassembly of beds and wardrobes, and the removal of certain unwanted items for disposal. Your written quote will set out exactly what is included so there are no surprises on the day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While we do provide a flexible man-and-van style option, our approach is that of a professional removals company. We use trained staff, carry full insurance, perform surveys for larger jobs and bring the proper equipment to protect your furniture and properties. Casual man-and-van operators may not offer the same level of cover, planning or reliability. If you are moving valuable or sentimental furniture, using a structured removals service significantly reduces the risk of damage, delay or unexpected costs.
How far in advance should I book?
For larger moves, booking 2–3 weeks in advance is ideal, especially if you need a specific date or weekend. Smaller furniture removals can sometimes be arranged with a few days' notice, and we will always try to accommodate shorter lead times where possible. Peak times, such as month-end and Fridays, tend to book up quickly, so contacting us early gives you the best choice of slots and helps us plan your move carefully from the start.
Same day Removals

When you need to move today, you need a removals company that can respond immediately, stay organised under pressure, and protect your belongings as carefully as if the move had been planned for weeks. At Man and Van Fulham, our same day removals service in Fulham is designed precisely for urgent, last-minute and unexpected moves.
With local knowledge of Fulham’s streets, parking, and building layouts, plus fully insured, trained moving teams, we handle urgent moves calmly, professionally and efficiently.
What Our Same Day Removals Service Includes
Our same day removals in Fulham is a full, professional removals service adapted to short notice. Depending on your needs and timing, we can provide:
- Same day home removals – flats, houses, HMOs and shared accommodation
- Same day office and business moves – small offices, shops, studios
- Emergency moves – landlord issues, urgent tenancy changes, last-minute completion dates
- Student moves – halls, shared houses, last-minute term-time changes
- Partial moves and single items – beds, sofas, white goods, bulky furniture
Even on the same day, we still follow a structured process to keep your move safe and organised, with clear communication from first call to final placement of furniture.
Local Expertise: Same Day Removals in Fulham
Operating as Man and Van Fulham, we know Fulham extremely well – from tight residential roads and controlled parking zones to access restrictions on busy main routes. This local knowledge lets us plan urgent moves more intelligently, avoiding unnecessary delays.
We regularly complete same day removals across areas such as Fulham Broadway, Parsons Green, Sands End, Hurlingham, and the wider SW6 area. We’re familiar with:
- Basement and top-floor flats with challenging staircases
- Time-restricted loading bays and parking controls
- Estate and mansion block access rules
This local experience means we can often say “yes” to urgent jobs that less experienced operators might struggle to complete safely or on time.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If your completion date has been brought forward, a chain has suddenly aligned, or you have been let down by another mover, we can often step in at short notice. We focus on protecting high-value items, coordinating with your timings, and keeping disruption to a minimum.
Renters
Short notice from a landlord, end of tenancy complications, or being let down on moving day can all leave you stuck. Our team can quickly move you from or to a flat or house in Fulham, handling stairs, lifts and tight access with care.
Landlords
We work with landlords and letting agents who need same day removals for furniture, abandoned belongings or end-of-tenancy clear moves. We can remove and relocate items or deliver to storage on the same day where availability allows.
Businesses
For small offices, clinics, salons, and shops in Fulham, we offer urgent moves, internal reshuffles, and rapid relocations. We understand the need to minimise downtime, protect IT equipment and maintain a professional image throughout.
Students
Last-minute change of halls, moving between shared houses, or urgent term-time relocation – we can help with compact, cost-effective same day moves tailored to student budgets, while still keeping belongings safe and organised.
What We Can and Cannot Move on the Same Day
Items Typically Included
- Sofas, armchairs, beds and wardrobes
- Chests of drawers, tables, desks and chairs
- Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other white goods
- TVs, computers and home electronics (properly protected)
- Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware, personal items
- Office furniture, filing cabinets, small commercial equipment
Items Usually Excluded or Restricted
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
- Unboxed loose small items where proper packing is not possible in time
- Very high-value art, antiques or specialist items without prior agreement
- Animals or live pets (specialist pet transport is required)
If you have unusual, oversized or high-value items, tell us at the enquiry stage so we can advise whether we can safely move them on the same day and what preparation is needed.
Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Call us as early as possible. We will ask clear questions about the size of your move, access at both properties, floors, lifts and any special items. Based on this, we give you a clear, no-obligation quote and confirm whether same day availability is possible.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For urgent same day moves, we usually carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or video call. For larger or more complex moves, if time permits, we may attend in person. The aim is to make sure we send the right vehicle size, number of movers, and any extra equipment needed.
3. Packing & Preparation
Where you have pre-packed, we will check that boxes are safe to move and advise on any repacking needed for fragile items. If agreed in advance, we can provide a same day packing service for part or all of your belongings, using strong boxes, wrapping and protective materials. We always protect furniture, doorways and key surfaces as far as time allows.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads in a logical order, securing items with straps and blankets to minimise movement in transit. We use professional moving techniques to protect furniture and your property. Then we transport your belongings directly between addresses, using sensible routes based on real-time traffic conditions in and around Fulham.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload carefully and place items in your chosen rooms. We position furniture where requested and ensure key items such as beds, sofas and essential boxes are accessible so you can function straight away in your new property, even after a hectic same day move.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day removals in Fulham are priced fairly, with all key costs explained upfront. Pricing typically depends on:
- Volume of items and size of the property
- Number of movers required
- Access issues (floors, stairs, parking distance)
- Time of day and urgency
- Distance between addresses
In many cases we work on an hourly rate with a minimum charge; for clearly defined moves, we can often provide a fixed price. Any parking, congestion and toll charges are explained in advance where known. There are no hidden extras – we aim for clarity, especially when you are already under time pressure.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
When time is tight, trying to organise a DIY move can quickly become stressful and risky. Using a professional same day removals team offers real advantages:
- Experienced handling of heavy and awkward items, reducing risk of injury
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Efficient loading and unloading that makes the most of limited time
- Reduced risk of damage to property and belongings
- Clear accountability and insurance cover
A casual man-with-a-van may not offer the planning, staffing levels, or protection needed for a full same day move. Our service is a structured removals operation, simply delivered on shorter notice.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Fulham operates to recognised professional standards to protect you and your belongings:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved and transported, subject to policy terms and conditions.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in safe lifting, wrapping, stacking and vehicle loading.
We will explain the scope and limits of our cover so you know exactly what is and is not insured. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional specialist cover.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even when working at speed for same day removals, we do not compromise on care. We use protective blankets, shrink wrap where appropriate, and take care through doorways, communal areas and stairwells.
We also aim to work as responsibly as possible by:
- Reusing strong cartons and protective materials where hygiene and condition allow
- Recycling packing materials after use where practicable
- Planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage
Our goal is to complete your move with minimal waste, minimal damage risk and maximum respect for your property and your neighbours.
Real-World Use Cases for Same Day Removals in Fulham
- Moving house at short notice – buyer or seller pushes for same day completion and you need a reliable team immediately.
- Office relocation – a small business needs to move out of serviced offices today due to lease deadlines.
- Urgent landlord-tenant situations – belongings need to be removed and stored or transported rapidly.
- Student moves – last-minute changes to accommodation just before term starts or ends.
- Emergency clearouts – water damage, urgent building works or safety issues require a fast, organised move-out.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a same day removal in Fulham cost?
Costs depend on the size of your move, access, distance and how many movers are needed. Smaller same day moves may be charged on an hourly rate, while larger or more defined jobs can sometimes be quoted as a fixed price. There may be additional charges for late evening work, complex access or long distances. We will always give you a clear estimate before confirming the booking so you understand the likely total and any factors that could affect it.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate same day requests, but availability depends on our schedule, size of the move and travel times. The earlier you call in the day, the better the chance we can help. For smaller flat or student moves, same day service is often achievable. For larger house or office moves, we may suggest a partial same day move with completion the following day if that is safer and more realistic. We will always be honest about what is possible.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to policy limits and conditions, in the same way as for a pre-planned move. We also hold public liability cover. We will explain how the cover works, including any exclusions such as owner-packed fragile items or pre-existing damage. For particularly valuable items, it may be wise to notify your own insurer or arrange additional cover, and we can discuss this with you before the move begins.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our service typically includes a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading, safe transport and unloading at your new address. We protect furniture with blankets and can dismantle or reassemble basic items like bed frames by prior agreement. If arranged in advance, we may also provide same day packing for part or all of your belongings, depending on time available. Parking charges, congestion charges and materials such as boxes are usually itemised separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While some man-and-van operators focus mainly on transport, we provide a full professional removals service. That means trained staff, planned loading, appropriate insurance, protective equipment and clear processes, even on the same day. We are set up to handle full household and business moves, not just a few items. This reduces the risk of damage, avoids multiple unnecessary trips, and gives you a single point of responsibility for the entire move, which is especially important when time is limited.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For standard moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead. For same day removals, the reality is that you often cannot plan – so contact us as soon as you know you need to move. Early morning calls give us the best chance to schedule a same day slot. If we cannot accommodate you immediately, we will offer the earliest possible time and discuss practical options, such as moving essentials first and completing the remainder soon after.
Man and Van
Man and Van Fulham – Professional Local Removals
At Man and Van Fulham, we provide a reliable, locally based man and van removals service across Fulham and the surrounding SW6 area. With years of hands-on experience moving flats, houses and offices in busy London streets, we know how to handle your move carefully, efficiently and with minimum disruption.
What Our Man and Van Service Includes
Our service is a flexible, professional alternative to hiring a van yourself or using a casual helper. You get a vehicle suited to your move and a trained mover or team to do the heavy lifting and careful loading.
Typical man and van jobs in Fulham include:
- Small house and flat moves within London or to elsewhere in the UK
- Single-item and part-load moves – sofas, beds, wardrobes, appliances
- Student moves to and from halls or shared houses
- Office and shop moves – desks, chairs, files, IT equipment
- Furniture collections from shops, storage units or auction houses
- Urgent and same-day moves where availability allows
Every job is carried out by a professional, trained driver–loader or team, fully briefed on your inventory and access requirements.
Local Expertise in Fulham and SW6
Working daily around Fulham Broadway, Parsons Green, Sands End and the wider SW6 area, we understand the realities of moving here: tight stairwells, controlled parking zones, busy one-way systems and strict time windows for loading.
Our local knowledge means we can:
- Plan routes to avoid congestion where possible
- Advise on parking and loading restrictions outside your property
- Schedule moves to suit building rules and concierge requirements
- Use smaller vans where access is tight for larger vehicles
This practical experience helps keep your move smoother, faster and less stressful.
Who Our Man and Van Fulham Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are moving from a smaller house or flat and don’t quite need a full-scale removals crew. We carefully move furniture, white goods, boxes and personal belongings, protecting floors and walls as we go.
Renters
Whether you’re moving between rented flats, into a new house-share or downsizing, our service is designed for London tenancy moves. We’re used to top-floor flats with no lift, shared entrances and timed key collections.
Landlords
We assist landlords with clearances, part-furnishing jobs and moving items between properties or to storage. We handle everything with respect for the building and any existing tenants.
Businesses
From small offices to local shops and salons, our man and van teams move desks, stock, equipment and archive boxes with minimal downtime. We can work outside normal hours by arrangement.
Students
Students moving to or from Fulham, Hammersmith, Putney or central London often only have a room’s worth of belongings. Our service keeps costs sensible while providing the help you need with loading and unloading.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Domestic furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, chests of drawers
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected and ready)
- Boxes and suitcases of personal belongings
- Office furniture and equipment
- Garage and shed items, where safe and boxed
Items Excluded or By Prior Agreement
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we do not usually move:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Live animals or pets
- Unboxed loose small items
- High-value items such as jewellery, cash or important documents
- Pianos, grand pianos and heavy safes without prior assessment
- Very large or specialist machinery without a site survey
If you have an unusual or heavy item, let us know in advance so we can confirm whether we can move it safely and within our fully insured cover.
Our Step-by-Step Man and Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the addresses, a list of items (or number of rooms), access details and your preferred date. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the vehicle size, number of movers and estimated time required.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For more complex moves, or where access is tight, we may recommend a quick virtual video survey or an onsite visit in Fulham. This helps us check parking, staircases and lifts, and ensures the right vehicle and team are allocated.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service and materials by arrangement. On the day, we protect key items with blankets and covers and plan the loading order to keep fragile items safe.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team carefully carries and loads your belongings, securing them inside the van to prevent movement in transit. We drive directly to your new address, using suitable routes for the vehicle and time of day.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload to the rooms you specify, not just to the doorway. We place furniture where you want it and stack boxes sensibly so that you can unpack in your own time.
Transparent Man and Van Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are usually based on:
- Size of vehicle needed
- Number of movers required
- Estimated time, including loading, travel and unloading
- Distance between addresses
- Any additional services, such as packing or dismantling
For most local Fulham jobs we work on a competitive hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For longer moves or more involved jobs, we can provide a fixed-price quotation once we understand the full scope. There are no hidden extras: any potential parking, congestion or toll charges are discussed in advance.
Why Choose Professional Man and Van Over DIY
Hiring a van and doing it yourself can look cheaper on paper, but in reality it often means multiple trips, heavy lifting injuries, damaged furniture and a long, stressful day. Using casual or unverified helpers can also leave you exposed if something goes wrong.
With Man and Van Fulham you get:
- Professional movers used to stairs, tight corners and fragile items
- Efficient loading that makes full use of the vehicle space
- Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and property
- Support from people who move homes and offices every day
The result is a safer, smoother and usually quicker move, with your time and energy spared for everything else you need to organise.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our service is fully insured and operated to professional standards.
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your items while they are in our vehicle, subject to policy terms and packing standards.
- Public liability cover – covering accidental damage to third-party property where our negligence is proven.
- Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in lifting techniques, loading methods and safe handling of furniture and boxed items.
We will happily explain what is and is not covered so you can make an informed decision and, if necessary, arrange additional cover for very high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your possessions as if they were our own. On every job we use moving blankets, straps and protective covers as needed to minimise the chance of scuffs or breakages. Floors, banisters and doorways are treated carefully, particularly in shared hallways and communal areas.
We also take a practical approach to sustainability:
- Re-using strong cartons and protective materials where safe and appropriate
- Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Encouraging customers to declutter responsibly before moving
This approach helps reduce waste and keeps your move efficient.
Real-World Man and Van Use Cases
Moving House or Flat in Fulham
From one-bedroom riverside flats to compact terraced houses off Fulham Road, we regularly carry out local and cross-London moves. If your move is too small for a full removals crew but too big for car trips, our man and van option is usually ideal.
Office Relocation
We help small businesses shift between serviced offices, co-working spaces and street-facing premises. We can move furniture, boxed files, stock and IT equipment, working to your timetable to reduce downtime.
Urgent or Same-Day Moves
Occasionally moves come up at the last minute – a tenancy ends sooner than expected, or a purchase completes quickly. Where availability allows, we offer urgent and same-day man and van services within Fulham and nearby areas. The more information you can give us, the better we can respond.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and van service in Fulham cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of van, number of movers and the time required. For most local Fulham moves we work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking, which is often the most cost-effective for small to medium loads. Longer-distance moves or larger jobs can be priced as a fixed quote once we understand your inventory and access. There may be additional charges for parking, congestion or tolls, but these are always discussed in advance so you know the full cost before confirming.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man and van in Fulham?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves, particularly within Fulham and surrounding areas, depending on existing bookings and team availability. If you need urgent help, call as early as possible with a clear list of items, addresses and access details so we can assess whether we can fit you in safely. Where we can’t assist at short notice, we’ll always be honest and, if possible, recommend alternative options or different time slots.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
We operate with goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicle, subject to reasonable packing and our standard terms. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property where our negligence is proven. Some items, such as cash, jewellery and important documents, are excluded and are best carried by you personally. We are happy to talk you through the key points of our cover and suggest additional cover options for particularly high-value items if needed.
What is included in your man and van service?
As standard, you get a suitable van, a professional driver–loader (or team), loading and unloading to the rooms you specify, protective blankets and secure transport between addresses. We can also provide extras such as packing, dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture, and supply of boxes and packing materials, all by prior arrangement. Our quotes make clear exactly what is included, any assumptions made about access and packing, and any potential extra charges such as parking, so there are no surprises on the day.
What is the difference between removals and man and van?
In simple terms, a full removals service usually involves a larger team, larger vehicles, more planning and often a complete packing and unpacking option – suited to bigger household moves. A man and van service is more flexible and cost-effective for smaller moves, single items, short distances or when you are happy to do most of the packing yourself. At Man and Van Fulham, the same professional standards apply to both; we simply scale the resources to match the size and complexity of your move.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend and end-of-month slots, it is wise to book at least one to two weeks ahead, as these periods are very busy in Fulham. For midweek and off-peak days, we can often accommodate bookings with just a few days’ notice. If you have a fixed completion date or tenancy changeover, contact us as soon as you know it so we can reserve a time. Even if your date is not confirmed, we can pencil you in and adjust as your plans become clearer.

Who Our Removal Van Service is For
Homeowners
If you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Fulham, our removal van and team provide a structured, reliable service that protects your furniture, flooring and property. We can handle full house moves or part-loads.
Renters
Flats and house shares are a big part of Fulham life. We regularly move renters between local postcodes and across London, navigating stairs, lifts and tight hallways without damage to walls or belongings.
Landlords
We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, furniture changes and delivery of new furnishings. Our team works efficiently and respectfully in occupied or vacant properties.
Businesses
From small offices to retail spaces, we provide structured office removals and deliveries. We understand downtime costs money, so we schedule moves to minimise disruption, including evenings and weekends where arranged in advance.
Students
Students moving to or from Fulham benefit from our flexible, smaller-load removal van options. Ideal for moving between halls, shared houses and storage units with clear, fair pricing.
Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Everything starts with a straightforward conversation. You can call or email us with basic details: addresses, access, number of rooms, main items and your preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the size of van, number of movers and estimated time required.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a survey. This can be a quick video call walkthrough or an onsite visit in Fulham and nearby areas. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, volume of items and any special requirements, so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Self-packing – you pack your own boxes; we advise on materials and labelling.
- Professional packing service – our trained team packs your items using quality materials, protecting fragile and high-value belongings.
On the day, we protect furniture with blankets, covers and, where needed, shrink-wrap. Floors and bannisters are protected as required.
4. Loading & Transport
Our movers load the van carefully and methodically, securing items with straps, blankets and padding. We plan the order of loading so that essential items can be unloaded first at your destination. Once loaded, we take the safest, most efficient route using local knowledge and live traffic updates.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just to the doorway. We place large furniture where you need it, reassemble items we have disassembled, and check that you are happy before we leave. Rubbish from packing materials can be stacked neatly for later disposal or taken away if pre-arranged.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear pricing with no hidden extras. Our removal van rates are based on:
- Size of van required
- Number of movers
- Estimated hours or a fixed price for larger moves
- Distance between addresses
- Any additional services (packing, dismantling, materials, disposal)
Parking charges, congestion or clean air zone fees are discussed in advance where they apply. You receive a written confirmation of the agreed rate so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
Why Choose Professional Removal Vans Over DIY
Hiring a van and doing it yourself may look cheaper on paper, but the real costs often include damage, injury, delays and stress. With our professional removal van service in Fulham you benefit from:
- Trained movers who know safe lifting and handling techniques
- Proper equipment – trolleys, dollies, straps, blankets and covers
- Efficient loading and unloading, saving you hours of work
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
- Reduced risk of damage to property and contents
For most people, the difference in cost is small compared with the peace of mind of having experienced professionals handle the job.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Fulham operates to high professional standards. We are fully covered with:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our care and on our vehicles
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property in the unlikely event of an accident
Our moving teams are trained in manual handling, furniture protection and safe loading techniques. We treat every item as if it were our own, and we encourage customers to highlight any particularly fragile or sentimental items so we can give them extra care.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on protecting both your belongings and the environment:
- Use of reusable moving blankets and durable plastic crates (where requested)
- Recycled and recyclable packing materials where possible
- Planning routes to minimise mileage and fuel usage
- Careful handling to avoid breakage and waste
Within properties we use floor protectors, corner guards and furniture covers when appropriate, especially in shared hallways and common parts where damage charges can quickly add up.
Real-World Uses of Our Removal Van Service

Office and Business Relocation
We relocate small to medium offices, shops and studios. Our team can dismantle and reassemble desks, pack IT equipment securely and work to a schedule that keeps your business disruption to a minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Fulham cost?
The cost of a removal van in Fulham depends mainly on the size of vehicle, number of movers and the time required. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while full house or office relocations are often quoted as a fixed price after a survey. Factors such as distance, parking, stairs and packing services also affect the final cost. We provide a clear, itemised quote upfront so you understand exactly what you’re paying for before you confirm the booking.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Fulham, depending on existing bookings and the size of the job. Short-notice work is more feasible for smaller flat or student moves, but we will always do our best to help. The quickest way to check is to call us with your addresses, main items and preferred times. If we can’t fit you in, we’ll offer the nearest available slot and suggest ways to prioritise essential items first.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being handled by us and transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for your protection. There are standard limits and exclusions, as with any policy, which we’re happy to explain before you book. We recommend that you point out any particularly high-value or fragile items so we can note them and ensure they are packed and handled with extra care throughout the move.
What’s included in your removal van service?
Our standard removal van service includes the vehicle, fuel, professional movers, loading, secure transport and unloading into your new property. We supply moving blankets and securing straps as standard to protect your items. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture and, if agreed in advance, removal of unwanted items. All inclusions and any extras are clearly listed in your written quote so you know exactly what is and isn’t covered.
How is a professional removal service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van is usually just a driver with a vehicle, often without formal training or insurance. Our service is a professional removals operation: trained teams, purpose-equipped vans, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and a structured process from survey to completion. We provide written quotes, clear timings and proper protection for your belongings and property. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs that can occur with casual, unregulated operators.
How far in advance should I book a removal van?
For most Fulham moves, booking 2–3 weeks in advance gives you the best choice of dates and times, especially at month-end, Fridays and weekends which are busiest. For larger house or office moves, earlier is better so we can carry out a survey and plan properly. That said, we regularly handle short-notice moves where our schedule allows. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil you in and confirm closer to the time, subject to availability.

Removal Services Fulham – Man and Van Fulham
At Man and Van Fulham, we provide straightforward, reliable removal services across Fulham and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving flats, houses and offices in SW6, we understand the buildings, the traffic patterns and the access issues that can make or break moving day.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating your business, our professional, fully insured teams handle the heavy lifting, careful packing and safe transport, so you can focus on everything else that comes with moving.
Our Removal Services in Fulham
We offer a complete range of removal services tailored to Fulham residents and businesses:
- Full home removals – flats, terraced houses, family homes and maisonettes
- Part loads & single items – ideal for students, renters or clearing a room
- Office and commercial moves – from small offices to multi-floor relocations
- Student moves – term-time and end-of-lease moves to and from Fulham
- Short-notice and urgent removals – subject to availability
Every move is planned around your building type, access and timing, from mansion blocks and new-build developments to period terraces on tight one-way streets.
Local Expertise in Fulham
Operating daily in Fulham means we know the area extremely well. We’re used to:
- Narrow residential roads and controlled parking zones
- Securing parking suspensions where required
- Top-floor flats without lifts and awkward staircases
- Local estate agents, building managers and concierge setups
This local knowledge allows us to plan your move realistically, avoid delays, and protect both your belongings and the property itself from any damage.
Who Our Removal Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re selling or buying in Fulham, we can handle full household moves, including delicate items, garden equipment and garage contents. We coordinate timings with your completion date and work closely with you to ensure a smooth handover.
Renters
From studio flats to shared houses, we help tenants move efficiently while protecting walls, floors and stairwells to keep landlords happy and deposits safe. We’re used to tight timeframes between tenancies and evening or weekend moves.
Landlords
We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, part-furnished removals and safely moving items into storage between lets. We work respectfully in occupied buildings and common areas to minimise disruption to other residents.
Businesses
Our office and commercial removals cover everything from small local firms to larger operations moving within or out of Fulham. We can work outside standard hours to reduce downtime and ensure your equipment and documents are handled with care.
Students
Students moving into or out of Fulham halls or shared houses benefit from cost-effective, smaller moves. We can combine transport, packing materials and short-term storage to keep the process simple and budget-friendly.
What’s Included in Our Removal Service
Items Typically Included
Most everyday household and office items are covered, such as:
- Furniture: beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs, bookcases
- Appliances: washing machines, fridges, freezers (subject to preparation)
- Electronics: TVs, computers, monitors, printers and AV equipment
- Personal items: clothes, books, kitchenware, ornaments
- Office contents: desks, filing cabinets, stock, archive boxes
Items We Cannot or May Not Move
For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need prior agreement:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, chemicals, paint, gas cylinders)
- Illegal or stolen goods
- Live animals and plants (special arrangements may be required)
- High-value jewellery, cash or confidential documents (better carried personally)
- Very large or unusual items without prior notice (e.g. pianos, safes)
If you’re unsure about any particular item, we’ll clarify during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your move – addresses, property types, dates and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide an initial estimate or arrange a more detailed assessment where needed. Our quotes are clear, with no hidden extras, and we explain exactly what is and isn’t included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything beyond a very small move, we carry out a survey, either via video call or an in-person visit in Fulham. We assess access, parking, stairs or lifts, and the volume of items. This allows us to allocate the right size vehicle, number of movers, and time required, and to flag any potential issues in advance.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer both full packing and part packing services, or you can pack yourself. If we pack, we use strong cartons, wrapping materials and specialist covers for sofas, mattresses and delicate pieces. Appliances are disconnected in advance by you or a qualified tradesperson, and we advise on defrosting freezers and securing drawers.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and communal areas where needed, and carefully loads your belongings. Items are secured in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We use suitable vehicles for Fulham’s streets and follow planned routes to minimise delays, keeping you informed along the way.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify and place larger pieces of furniture where you want them. We reassemble basic furniture that we have dismantled as part of the move and remove any packing materials we have supplied, leaving you with a tidy, usable space.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services
We aim to keep pricing straightforward and fair. Our charges are typically based on:
- Volume of goods and size of vehicle required
- Number of movers needed and total time on site
- Distance between addresses
- Additional services such as packing, materials or storage
We’ll explain your options clearly – for example, how partial packing or doing your own packing can reduce costs. All rates are confirmed in writing before the move, so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Moving yourself or using a casual van service can seem cheaper, but it often leads to damaged items, personal injury or unexpected delays. With Man and Van Fulham you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to lift safely and protect fragile items
- Appropriate vehicles with securing points and protective equipment
- Planned timings, routes and parking arrangements
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
- Public liability cover protecting you and the property
Professional removals mean fewer risks, less stress and a far more efficient move than trying to do everything yourself.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Every move is covered by:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability insurance – covering accidental damage to third-party property
Our teams are trained in handling techniques, packing methods and property protection. We work to clear procedures and keep accurate inventories where required. If something unexpected does happen, we deal with it promptly and transparently.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings and property as if they were our own. That means using protective covers, blankets and floor runners, and taking the time to move awkward items safely rather than rushing. We also aim to work in a more sustainable way by:
- Using reusable protective materials where possible
- Offering carton collection and reuse for suitable boxes
- Planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage
Our goal is a move that is not only smooth and safe but also considerate of the wider environment.
Common Real-World Moves We Handle
Moving House in Fulham
From first-time buyers in modern developments to families moving between Victorian terraces, we handle the entire process. We’re used to coordinating with multiple parties on chain-completion days, where timing matters and access can be tight.
Office Relocations
We plan and execute office removals to minimise disruption, including packing IT equipment, labelled crate systems and out-of-hours moves. We work with your internal teams so that staff can resume work quickly at the new site.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves are last-minute – a tenancy ending sooner than expected or a sale completing quickly. Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or next-day removal services in Fulham, focusing on essentials first and arranging follow-up trips if required.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Fulham cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much you’re moving, access at each property, the distance travelled and whether you need packing services. Smaller flat moves within Fulham might be charged on an hourly basis with a minimum booking, while larger house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote after a survey. We’ll always discuss your specific requirements, explain any options for keeping costs down, and confirm everything in writing so you know exactly what is included before you commit.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removal services?
Same-day or urgent moves are sometimes possible, particularly for smaller loads, but they depend on vehicle and crew availability. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as early in the day as you can and provide clear information about what needs to be moved and by when. We will be honest about what we can realistically achieve, prioritise essential items if time is tight, and, where needed, suggest splitting the move over more than one visit.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles and under our care, and we hold public liability insurance for damage to third-party property. We’ll outline the key policy terms, including any limits and exclusions, before you book. For particularly high-value items, we may ask for additional details or suggest that you also check cover with your own insurer. Our aim is to give you confidence that your belongings are properly protected from start to finish.
What’s typically included in a removals service?
Standard removal services usually include the vehicle, fuel, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We place items into the rooms you specify and protect furniture and property during the move. Optional extras include packing services, packing materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and short- or long-term storage. During the quotation stage, we’ll go through exactly what you want us to handle and confirm what is included, so there is a clear understanding of roles and responsibilities on the day.
What is the difference between a removals company and a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport and some lifting but may not provide trained staff, formal insurance, proper packing materials or detailed planning. A professional removals company like Man and Van Fulham offers structured services, from surveys and packing to insurance-backed transport and clear terms of service. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes. Many customers find that the slightly higher cost is justified by the lower stress, better protection and more reliable timings on moving day.
How far in advance should I book my removal in Fulham?
For most moves, we recommend booking as soon as you know your likely dates, especially if you’re moving on a Friday, at month-end or during busy periods such as summer. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal, as it gives us time to plan surveys, parking arrangements and any packing service you need. However, we do our best to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Even if your date is not fully confirmed, it’s worth speaking to us early so we can pencil you into the schedule.
Storage
Secure Storage in Fulham with Man and Van Fulham
At Man and Van Fulham, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions for households, landlords, students and businesses across Fulham and the surrounding areas. Whether you need short-term storage between moves or a longer-term solution, we handle the entire process: collection, loading, transport, storage and redelivery when you are ready.
Professional Storage Services in Fulham
Our storage service is designed for people who need more than just a unit with a padlock. We combine professional removals expertise with secure, modern storage facilities, so your belongings are properly wrapped, catalogued and stored.
We collect directly from your property in Fulham, transport everything safely to our partner storage facility, and return your items when you request. You only pay for the space you actually use, and we adapt the service around your schedule.
Who Our Fulham Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, renovating, or downsizing in Fulham, storage gives you breathing space. We can store furniture, appliances, boxes, seasonal items and more while you get your home sorted or wait for completion dates to line up.
Renters
For renters between tenancies or moving into a smaller property, storage helps avoid rushed decisions and cluttered living spaces. We regularly help tenants store belongings for a few weeks or months between leases.
Landlords
Landlords in Fulham use our storage when switching between furnished and unfurnished lets, during refurbishments, or to hold furniture while tenants change. We can label and store by property address to keep things organised.
Businesses
Local businesses use our storage for office furniture, archived files, exhibition stands, stock overflow and equipment. We can collect from shops, offices and warehouses, and return items to specific floors or departments when required.
Students
Students at local universities and colleges often need storage over the summer. We collect directly from halls or shared houses in Fulham, store your belongings safely, and deliver to your new address at the start of term.
What We Can and Cannot Store
Items Commonly Stored
We regularly store:
- Household furniture: sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- White goods and appliances
- Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware and personal effects
- Office furniture, filing cabinets, boxed documents
- IT equipment, monitors, printers, small electronics
- Sports equipment, bikes and hobby items
- Non-perishable stock and merchandising materials
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:
- Perishable food or anything that may rot, attract pests or leak
- Hazardous, flammable or explosive items (fuels, gas bottles, paints, chemicals)
- Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
- Live plants, animals or any living organisms
- Cash, jewellery and high-value collectibles (these are better held in a safe or bank facility)
- Weapons, ammunition or similar restricted items
If you are unsure whether something is permitted, just ask and we will advise before collection.
How Our Fulham Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of what you need to store, where you are in Fulham, and roughly how long you will need storage. We ask a few practical questions, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs, we recommend a brief survey. This can be done by video call or an onsite visit in Fulham. The survey allows us to estimate the volume accurately, plan access, choose the right vehicle and number of team members, and confirm any special care items.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a full packing service using quality packing materials. We wrap furniture, protect mattresses, and use covers for sofas and delicate items. Everything is labelled clearly so we can easily identify items when you need something back or at redelivery.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On the agreed date, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and walls where needed, and carefully loads everything onto our vehicles. Items are secured with straps and blankets to prevent movement in transit. We then transport your belongings directly to our secure storage facility.
5. Storage, Unloading & Redelivery
At the facility, your items are unloaded into a dedicated unit or allocated space. We stack sensibly so nothing is crushed, and record what is stored. When you are ready, you book a return slot and we arrange professional delivery back to your new or existing address in Fulham or further afield, placing items in the rooms you choose.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our storage quotes are based on:
- The volume of items (how much space you require)
- The length of time you need storage
- Collection and redelivery locations and access
- Any optional services such as packing, dismantling or materials
There are no hidden fees. We explain all costs in advance, including weekly or monthly storage charges, minimum terms (if any), and charges for additional access or partial returns. For longer-term storage, we can often offer reduced rates.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Using a professional storage and removals company in Fulham offers several advantages over arranging a unit yourself and hiring a casual man-and-van:
- Trained staff who know how to lift, protect and stack safely
- Fully insured services with proper paperwork and contracts
- End-to-end handling: no multiple trips, no self-loading lifts or trolleys
- Better use of space, so you do not overpay for an oversized unit
- Clear responsibility for your goods from door to store and back again
DIY or unregulated operators might appear cheaper upfront but often lead to damage, poor communication, or unexpected costs. With us, you know exactly who is handling your belongings and how they are protected.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised industry standards and hold appropriate insurance for your peace of mind.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while being moved between your property and the storage facility.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or injury on site.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced, briefed on safety procedures, and trained in correct lifting and handling techniques.
Specific cover levels and terms are available on request. We always encourage customers to tell us about any particularly valuable or fragile items so that we can advise on the most suitable protection.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat stored items as if they were our own. That means using protective covers, export-grade wrapping for delicate pieces, and sensible stacking to avoid pressure on fragile furniture. We also use reusable crates where appropriate and recycle cardboard and packing materials wherever possible.
Our vehicles are maintained regularly for efficiency and safety. By consolidating collections and storage runs in and around Fulham, we reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions while still offering a responsive, punctual service.
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House with Gaps Between Dates
Many Fulham customers find that their sale completes before their purchase. We store the full contents of the home for a few weeks until keys for the new property are released, then deliver everything on moving day.
Office Refits and Relocations
Businesses planning an office refit or relocation use storage to hold desks, chairs, IT equipment and archived files while works are completed. We can redeliver in stages to fit around phased office moves.
Urgent or Last-Minute Storage
Sometimes notice to vacate a property is short, or building works are brought forward. Where availability allows, we offer rapid collection and storage, often on the same or next day, to keep your belongings safe while you regroup.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage in Fulham cost?
Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need and how long you require it. We calculate volume based on a survey or detailed list of items, then quote a weekly or monthly rate. Collection and redelivery are priced separately, taking into account access, distance and the size of the team required. There are no hidden extras – we explain all charges in advance. For longer-term storage or larger volumes, we can often apply discounted rates. Contact us with a quick overview of your items and timings for an accurate estimate.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where our schedule allows, we can arrange same-day or next-day storage collections in Fulham. This is particularly useful if a sale completes unexpectedly, a tenancy ends suddenly, or building works are brought forward. The more information you can provide when you call – such as access, parking and a rough list of items – the quicker we can confirm availability and pricing. While we cannot guarantee urgent slots every day, we will always do our best to accommodate genuine emergencies and suggest the earliest practical alternative if we are fully booked.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from storage, and the storage facility itself has its own cover in place. Insurance is subject to standard terms, conditions and value limits, which we are happy to outline in writing. We recommend you tell us about any unusually high-value items so that we can advise on appropriate cover or additional protection if required. As with any insurance, exclusions apply, for example to prohibited items. Full details are available on request before you book.
What is included in your storage service?
Our storage service includes collection from your address in Fulham, careful loading by a trained team, transport to a secure facility, and safe unloading into a dedicated storage space. We provide basic protective coverings and blankets as standard and can supply additional packing materials or a full packing service if you prefer. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery to your chosen address and place items in the correct rooms. Optional extras include dismantling and reassembly of furniture, specialist packing for fragile items and partial access or staged returns where needed.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without formal contracts, limited insurance and little control over where or how your items are stored. Our service combines professional removals expertise with organised, secure storage. We use trained staff, proper packing, documented inventories and fully insured vehicles. Responsibility for your belongings is clear from collection to storage and back again. We also provide proper invoices, scheduling and communication, so you know exactly what is happening at each stage and who to contact if your plans change or you need items back early.
How far in advance should I book storage?
If possible, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, plan the right size vehicle and team, and reserve suitable storage space. That said, we appreciate that plans can change quickly, so we will always try to help with shorter notice. Even if your dates are not fixed, it is worth getting an initial quote and pencilling in provisional dates, which we can then adjust as your situation becomes clearer.
Packing and Boxes
Packing and Boxes in Fulham – Man and Van Fulham
At Man and Van Fulham, we provide a dedicated Packing and Boxes service designed to protect your belongings from the moment they go into a box until they are safely unpacked in your new place. With years of hands-on moving experience across Fulham and surrounding areas, we know that good packing is the difference between a smooth move and a stressful one.
Professional Packing and Boxes Service in Fulham
Our packing service is carried out by trained, experienced packers who know how to prepare your items for transport safely and efficiently. Whether you are moving a studio flat or a large office, we supply the right type and amount of cartons, wrap, and protection, and we pack everything systematically, room by room.
We use only quality, double-walled removal boxes and industry-standard packing materials to minimise movement in transit and protect against crush damage. Every item is labelled clearly so that unloading and placement at the other end is straightforward and organised.
Local Expertise in Fulham
Working daily in Fulham, we understand local properties, access issues, parking restrictions and building rules. From mansion blocks off Fulham Road to terraces near Parsons Green and conversions around Putney Bridge, we know how to plan the packing so loading and unloading go smoothly.
Our team can advise on the best packing schedule around your completion date, building access times, lift use, and any restrictions your managing agent or concierge may have. This local knowledge helps us avoid delays and keeps your move on track.
Who Our Packing and Boxes Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling or buying in Fulham, we can provide a full or partial household packing service. We protect high-value furniture, artwork and fragile items, and can coordinate with your removal date so you are not living out of boxes for weeks.
Renters
Moving between rented flats often comes with tight timelines and check-out inspections. We help tenants pack quickly and properly, reducing the risk of damage deductions and ensuring everything is ready for the inventory clerk.
Landlords
For furnished or part-furnished lets, we offer inventory packing and boxing of contents during refurbishments or between tenancies. We label and list items clearly so that reinstallation is simple and verifiable.
Businesses
Our office and commercial packing service covers files, IT equipment, stock and office furniture. We use numbered cartons, contents lists and clear labelling to ensure business-critical items are easy to locate once you arrive at your new premises.
Students
Students moving into or out of halls or shared houses in Fulham benefit from our affordable student packing options. We can provide boxes and materials only, or include packing and collection to suit your budget and timescale.
What’s Included in Our Packing and Boxes Service
Items and Services Typically Included
- Standard and large removal cartons
- Specialist book boxes and wardrobe cartons
- Bubble wrap, packing paper and tape
- Protective wrapping for fragile items (glass, china, ornaments)
- Packing of kitchen contents and pantry
- Packing of books, clothes, linens and general household items
- Protective wrapping of small furniture and lamps

Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Man and Van Fulham with your moving details: addresses, dates, property size and any special items. We ask a few questions about your contents and the level of packing help you need. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining packing services, materials, and any additional options.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves or where there are fragile or high-value items, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess volume, access, and any specialist packing requirements. It also helps us estimate how many boxes and packers are needed, and how long the job will take, so your quote is accurate and there are no surprises.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our professional packing team arrives with all materials. We protect floors where needed and start packing systematically, usually beginning with non-essential rooms. Fragile items are wrapped individually, and heavier items are placed at the bottom of boxes with lighter items on top. Each box is labelled clearly, and we can create a simple inventory if required.
4. Loading & Transport
If you are also using our removals service, once packing is complete we move directly to loading. Boxes are loaded first, then furniture. Everything is secured in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. Our drivers, fully familiar with Fulham’s roads and access restrictions, take the most suitable route to your new property.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload boxes and furniture into the correct rooms, using the labelling system from the packing stage. If agreed in advance, we can provide an unpacking service, placing items into cupboards and wardrobes and removing used boxes and packaging for reuse or recycling.
Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes will typically show:
- Labour for packing (hourly rate or fixed price for the job)
- Cost of boxes and packing materials used
- Any additional services (unpacking, evening or weekend work)
- Transport and removal charges if combined with your move
For smaller moves, we may work on an hourly basis; for larger homes or offices, a fixed price is usually more appropriate. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional costs (for example, last-minute changes or extra materials) are explained in advance wherever possible.
Why Use Professional Packers Instead of Doing It Yourself?
Self-packing often seems cheaper, but it can be time-consuming and risky. Our experienced packers know how to protect items properly and make best use of every box, reducing the risk of damage and cutting down on the number of cartons needed. Poorly packed boxes are more likely to collapse, be dropped or cause injuries.
Using Man and Van Fulham means your packing is handled by trained staff, with quality materials and proven methods. It also helps ensure your belongings are properly covered under our goods in transit insurance, as they are packed in line with industry standards.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised removals standards, with:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for work carried out in your home or premises
- Trained, vetted staff who handle your possessions with care and respect
Details of cover limits and any exclusions are available on request. We encourage all clients to understand what is included, and to inform us of any particularly high-value items so that we can advise on appropriate protection.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your belongings and your property is central to how we work. We use blankets, floor runners and corner protectors where needed to prevent scuffs, and we handle fragile and sentimental items with extra care.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible we:
- Reuse sturdy cartons for multiple moves
- Offer box collection after your move for reuse or recycling
- Use recyclable paper rather than excessive plastic where suitable
Real-World Use Cases in Fulham
Moving House
Families and individuals moving into or out of Fulham rely on our full packing service when they need everything handled end-to-end. We often pack the day before completion, so move day is focused purely on loading and transport.
Office Relocations
Businesses relocating within Fulham or into central London use our office packing to minimise downtime. We can pack after hours or at weekends, label by department, and work alongside your IT team to ensure an orderly move.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Life does not always allow long notice. For urgent moves, we can often provide same-day or next-day packing in Fulham, subject to availability. We focus on essentials first, making sure important documents, work equipment and daily-use items are safely packed and easy to access.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does packing and boxes service in Fulham cost?
Costs depend on the size of your property, the volume of items and the level of service you choose. Smaller flats may only require a few hours of packing plus materials, while larger houses or offices will take longer and need more cartons. We usually combine labour and materials into a single, clear quote so you know exactly what to expect. To give an accurate price, we will ask some questions or arrange a brief survey, then provide a written estimate with no obligation.
Can you offer same-day or urgent packing in Fulham?
Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or next-day packing services in Fulham, particularly outside peak periods and weekends. For urgent moves, we focus on your most important rooms and items first, such as bedroom, kitchen and work essentials, then pack the remainder as time allows. Contact us as early as you can with your dates, property size and deadlines, and we will confirm what is realistically achievable and provide a clear plan and quote.
Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work carried out on your premises. Insurance is based on items being packed and handled in line with our guidance, using suitable materials and methods. There may be limits and exclusions, particularly for very high-value or fragile items, so we always recommend you discuss any special pieces with us in advance so we can advise on the most appropriate level of protection.
What is included in a professional packing and boxes service?
Our service includes supply of appropriate removal cartons, packing paper, bubble wrap and tape, plus the labour to pack your belongings safely and systematically. We wrap fragile items individually, pack room by room, and label each box with its destination and a brief contents note. We can also provide wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes and additional protection for delicate furniture. If requested, we can add unpacking and packaging removal at your new address as an optional extra, helping you get settled more quickly and with less waste.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van typically expects you to provide your own boxes, pack everything yourself and accept limited or no insurance coverage. Our service is a professional removals operation: we supply proper materials, use trained staff, plan the job carefully and provide appropriate insurance. We also take responsibility for loading, securing and unloading your goods correctly. This reduces the risk of damage, saves you considerable time and effort, and gives you a clear point of contact throughout the move, rather than leaving everything to chance on the day.
How far in advance should I book packing in Fulham?
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking your packing service at least one to two weeks before your move, especially if you are completing on a property purchase or moving at month-end. This allows time to carry out a survey if needed and to schedule the right number of packers. However, we know that plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate short-notice bookings where our diary allows. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of dates and timing.

- Crate hire and packing services for files, stock, and equipment
Every move is managed by a professional, experienced team who understand how to protect business-critical items and keep your move on schedule.
Local Fulham Expertise You Can Rely On
We work in Fulham every day, so we understand local access, building layouts, and parking restrictions around areas such as Fulham Broadway, Parsons Green, and along Fulham Road and New King’s Road. This local knowledge means:
- Smarter route planning to avoid congestion where possible
- Realistic timings based on experience, not guesswork
- Support with arranging parking suspensions where required
- Familiarity with office buildings, loading bays, and lift access in Fulham
Our local experience helps reduce delays and keeps your move as smooth and predictable as possible.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the basics: current location, new address, rough number of staff or workstations, and your ideal move date. We ask a few questions about access, floors, lifts, and any time restrictions. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included so you can budget with confidence.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most office moves we recommend a survey. This can be a video call walk-through or an onsite visit in Fulham. We note furniture quantities, IT equipment, filing, and special items, and we check access at both ends. This allows us to allocate the right crew size, vehicle(s), and equipment, and to plan dismantling or crate hire if needed.
3. Packing & Preparation
We can either provide a professional packing service or supply crates and materials for your team to pack. Where we pack, we label crates by department and destination room, protecting IT and fragile items with suitable materials. Desks and large furniture can be dismantled where necessary, and we agree a clear plan so staff know what to pack and when.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and key routes, and loads items in a logical order. IT and fragile items are stacked safely, and furniture is secured in the vehicle. We use appropriate trolleys, covers, and straps. Your goods are protected by goods in transit insurance while they are being moved between locations.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new office, we unload directly to the rooms, zones, or desk areas you specify. We reassemble furniture where agreed and position items so your staff can get back to work quickly. We can remove used packing materials and crates once you have unpacked, by arrangement.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We price office removals in Fulham based on:
- Volume and type of items (furniture, IT, files, stock)
- Number of staff and vehicles required
- Distance between addresses
- Access issues (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
- Additional services such as packing, crate hire, or out-of-hours work
Smaller office moves may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while larger relocations are usually priced as a fixed quote for the whole job. We explain all costs clearly in advance, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Use Professional Office Movers Instead of DIY
Moving an office yourself or using a casual van service might seem cheaper, but it usually increases risk and downtime. Our professional office removals service offers:
- Reduced disruption – structured planning and faster loading/unloading
- Better protection – correct equipment, wrapping, and handling
- Accountability – agreed plan, timings, and a single point of contact
- Safety – trained teams and appropriate lifting techniques
- Coverage – proper goods in transit and public liability insurance
When staff try to move heavy furniture or IT kit themselves, injuries and damage are common. Professional movers minimise these risks and help keep your business running.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Fulham operates to clear professional standards so your business can move with confidence. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling office and IT equipment
- Use of appropriate moving equipment, vehicles, and protective materials
- Clear communication before, during, and after your move
We are happy to provide proof of insurance and answer any risk-related questions as part of your planning or procurement process.
Care, Protection, and Sustainability
We treat your office as if it were our own. That means careful lifting techniques, protective coverings for doors and floors where required, and sensible handling of IT and confidential materials. We deliberately avoid a rushed approach, even on tight timelines, because damage and downtime cost more in the long run.
We also consider sustainability: re-using crates, choosing appropriate packing materials, and planning routes to minimise unnecessary mileage where possible. Where furniture is being decommissioned, we can help you separate recyclable items or coordinate with clearance and reuse services, subject to prior agreement.
Real-World Office Removals Use Cases
Moving to a Larger Office in Fulham
Growing teams often need more desks and meeting rooms. We help businesses move to larger premises in Fulham, managing weekend or evening relocations so staff arrive on Monday ready to work in the new office.
Relocating to or from Serviced Offices
Many clients move between serviced offices, co-working spaces, and traditional leases. We are used to building rules, loading bay slots, and tight lifts, and we coordinate timings closely with building management.
Urgent or Short-Notice Office Moves
Sometimes leases end unexpectedly, or you need to exit a space quickly. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or short-notice office removals in Fulham, focusing on essential items first so you can keep trading.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Fulham cost?
Costs depend on the size of your office, the volume and type of items, access at both ends, and whether you need packing, crate hire, or out-of-hours work. Small office moves within Fulham can sometimes be completed on an hourly rate, while larger relocations are usually priced as a fixed quote. After an initial discussion and, where needed, a survey, we provide a clear written estimate outlining exactly what is included so you can compare options confidently and budget accurately.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
Yes, subject to availability we can often help with same-day or short-notice office moves in Fulham. The more flexibility you have on timing and scope, the easier it is to accommodate an urgent move. In these situations, we prioritise essential items such as IT equipment, key furniture, and important files, and then schedule any remaining clearance or non-essential items as a follow-up visit if required. Contact us as early as possible so we can confirm availability and propose a realistic, safe plan.
Are my office items insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved between locations. We also hold public liability insurance for work carried out on your premises. Insurance is there to provide reassurance in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. We can share policy details on request, and we always encourage clients to check any specific high-value or specialist equipment with us beforehand so we can confirm cover and, if necessary, agree extra protections.
What is included in your office removals service?
Our standard service covers loading, transport, and unloading of your office furniture, IT, and packed contents between your old and new premises. We position items in the rooms or areas you specify and can dismantle and reassemble standard office furniture by prior arrangement. Optional extras include a professional packing service, crate hire, and out-of-hours or weekend moves. We do not typically reconnect IT or phones, but we will place items at the correct workstations so your IT team or contractor can reconnect smoothly.
What is the difference between your removals service and a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service usually provides transport and some lifting, but often without structured planning, specialist handling, or proper insurance. Our office removals service is a planned, professional operation with trained teams, suitable vehicles, protective equipment, and documented insurance. We carry out surveys where needed, coordinate timings with your business and building management, and manage the move to minimise disruption. In short, you get more control, less risk, and a move tailored to how your business actually works.
How far in advance should I book an office removal?
For small office moves within Fulham, one to three weeks’ notice is usually sufficient, especially outside peak periods. For larger or more complex relocations, four to six weeks (or more) is advisable so we can complete surveys, plan packing, and coordinate with building management. That said, we regularly help clients at shorter notice where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer on dates, timings, and additional services such as packing and crate hire.
Man with a Van
Man with a Van Fulham – Professional Local Moving Service
At Man and Van Fulham, our man with a van Fulham service is designed for people who want a flexible, efficient move without compromising on standards. You get a local, experienced driver and porter team, a clean, modern van, and a properly managed move – all backed by full insurance and professional planning.

This service is ideal for smaller moves and transport jobs where a full removals crew and large truck would be excessive. We routinely help with:
- Flat and small house moves within Fulham and across London
- Single-item or part-load moves (sofas, beds, wardrobes, appliances)
- Student moves to and from halls or shared houses
- Office equipment and archive moves for small businesses
- IKEA, eBay, Facebook Marketplace and store collections
- Urgent or same-day moves when plans change at short notice
You still benefit from a professional removals company: uniformed, trained staff, sensible planning, and full goods in transit insurance as standard.
Local Expertise: Man with a Van in Fulham
Fulham presents its own challenges: tight streets, controlled parking zones, one-way systems, and period properties with narrow staircases. Because we work here every day, we understand:
- How to arrange parking dispensation with Hammersmith & Fulham Council
- Best access routes during school runs and football match days
- Loading restrictions on main roads like Fulham Road and New King's Road
- How to protect communal areas in mansion blocks and conversions
This local knowledge means fewer delays, less stress, and a smoother move from start to finish.
Who Our Man with a Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you're moving between smaller houses or simply clearing out a garage, loft or storage unit. We safely handle furniture, white goods, and boxes, and can coordinate with larger removals if needed.
Renters
Ideal for tenants moving between rented flats in Fulham and surrounding areas. We're used to tight stairwells, top-floor walk-ups, and tricky access. We take care to avoid damage so you can hand your property back in good condition.
Landlords
We help landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, furniture swaps, and quick setups for new tenants. We can remove old items, deliver new furniture, and work around decorators, cleaners, and inventory clerks.
Businesses
Whether you run a small office, shop, or studio, our man with a van service is ideal for moving IT equipment, archives, stock, and display units. We work outside standard hours if required to minimise disruption.
Students
Students moving to or from Fulham benefit from a cost-effective service that still includes fully insured transport. We can move a room's worth of belongings in one run and coordinate with halls or shared homes.
What We Can and Can't Move

If you're unsure whether something can be moved, we'll clarify during the quote so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Step-by-Step Man with a Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email, or our online form with a brief description of what you're moving, from where, and to where. We'll ask a few focused questions about access, floors, parking and volume. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with either an hourly rate or fixed price, depending on the job.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For smaller moves, we usually carry out a quick video or phone survey. For more complex access or borderline larger moves, we may suggest a short onsite visit. The aim is to confirm volume, access constraints, and any dismantling needed so we can allocate the right van size and number of staff.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our packing service for fragile or high-risk items. We advise on box sizes, labelling, and how to pack safely. On the day, our team will protect key items with blankets, shrink-wrap and mattress covers as needed, and dismantle simple furniture if agreed in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your belongings in a logical, secure order to prevent movement in transit. We use trolleys and carrying straps for efficiency and to protect both furniture and property. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while in the van, and we drive via sensible routes to avoid unnecessary risk.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload to the rooms you specify, placing larger items where you want them. We reassemble any agreed items, do a final walkthrough to check nothing has been left on the van, and only then complete the paperwork. You can raise any concerns immediately so we can address them on the spot.
Transparent Man with a Van Pricing
We believe pricing should be straightforward and explained in plain English. Our man with a van work is usually charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, or at a fixed price for clearly defined jobs.
Typical factors that affect cost include:
- Number of movers required (one man or two+ men)
- Distance between addresses
- Floors and lift access, as well as walking distances
- Parking arrangements and any permits needed
- Whether dismantling/reassembly or packing are required
All rates are confirmed before you book. We detail what is included, any travel time, and any out-of-hours surcharges where relevant. There are no hidden extras added on the day.
Why Choose a Professional Man with a Van over DIY
Hiring a casual van or asking friends may seem cheaper, but often leads to damage, delays and unnecessary stress. With Man and Van Fulham you get:
- Professional handling techniques to avoid injury and breakages
- Fully insured transport, protecting your belongings and property
- Reliable arrival times and proper vehicle maintenance
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps, tools
- Experienced planning to avoid access and parking pitfalls
In many cases, a well-organised professional move is not only safer but more cost-effective once you factor in time off work, fuel, and potential damage.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As a reputable removals company, we operate to clear standards and carry comprehensive insurance:
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our care
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property
- Trained moving teams with regular manual handling and safety training
We keep our vehicles clean, serviced and equipped, and we follow industry best practice for loading, securing and transporting items. Documentation is available on request if your building management or employer requires proof.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. That means using padded blankets, floor protectors where needed, mattress and sofa covers on request, and careful route planning inside the property to avoid scuffs and knocks.
We are also working to reduce our environmental impact by:
- Using reusable protective materials wherever practical
- Recycling cardboard and packing materials
- Planning routes to minimise unnecessary mileage
- Maintaining our vans for optimal fuel efficiency
Where clients wish, we can take unwanted items to local recycling centres or charities, subject to prior agreement.
Real-World Man with a Van Use Cases
Moving House and Flat Moves
If you're moving between one- or two-bedroom properties in Fulham, our man with a van service is often the most efficient option. We can complete many local moves in a single trip, keeping disruption to a minimum and ensuring everything is properly protected.
Office and Small Business Relocations
For small offices, studios and shops, we move desks, chairs, computers, stock and shelving. We can schedule moves early morning, evenings or weekends so your business continues operating with minimal downtime.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Occasionally plans change quickly – a tenancy ends sooner than expected, or a seller needs you to complete earlier. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day man with a van in Fulham, providing a quick but still well-managed response.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with a van in Fulham cost?
Pricing depends mainly on time, distance and the number of movers required. For smaller local jobs, we usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, which includes the van, fuel and labour. For clearly defined moves, we can offer a fixed price so you know the full cost in advance. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with a brief description of your move so we can tailor a clear, no-obligation quote.
Can you do same-day or urgent man with a van bookings?
Yes, subject to availability. Because we are based locally, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day bookings in Fulham, particularly for smaller moves or single-item jobs. The more information you can give us when you call – item list, addresses, access details – the quicker we can confirm whether we can fit you in. Urgent work is priced transparently in the same way as standard moves, and we'll always tell you if a different day would be more cost-effective.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being carried by us, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your property. This is one of the key differences between using a professional removals company and a casual, unregistered man-and-van. We're happy to explain the main terms and limits before you book, and can provide confirmation documents if your building management or employer needs to see proof of cover.
What's included in your man with a van service?
Our standard service includes a modern, well-maintained van, one or more trained movers, protective blankets and straps, loading at the collection address, safe transport, and unloading to the rooms you specify at the destination. We can also offer optional services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture, and disposal or recycling of unwanted items by prior arrangement. All inclusions and any optional extras will be clearly listed on your quote before you confirm the booking.
What's the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?
While the term sounds similar, our service is run as a professional removals operation. That means insured vehicles, trained staff, proper planning, and adherence to health and safety standards. Many informal man-and-van operators work without adequate insurance or equipment, which can leave you exposed if something goes wrong. With Man and Van Fulham, you get the flexibility of a man with a van, combined with the reliability and protection of an established removals company.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend slots and month-ends, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, as these are peak times for moves in Fulham. For weekday daytime slots, we can often accommodate shorter notice. That said, it's always worth contacting us even if your move is very urgent; our schedule sometimes allows for last-minute bookings. The earlier you book, the more choice you'll have on dates and times, and the easier it is for us to plan parking and access properly.
Removal Companies
Removal Companies in Fulham – Man and Van Fulham
At Man and Van Fulham, we provide a complete removals service for homes and businesses across Fulham and the surrounding areas. As a local, experienced removals company, we combine practical know-how with a calm, organised approach so your move runs smoothly from first enquiry to the last box being unloaded.
Professional Removals in Fulham Explained
Our removals service is designed to take the strain out of moving. We plan, pack, protect, load, transport and unload your belongings with care, using the right equipment and vehicles for the job. Whether you are moving a studio flat or a full office floor, you benefit from a professional, fully insured team who move people in and out of Fulham every day.
We understand tight stairwells, controlled parking zones, and the busy streets around Fulham Broadway, Parsons Green and the river. That local knowledge means fewer delays, better access planning and a more efficient move.
Local Expertise in Fulham
Being based in Fulham, we know the area, the building types and the common challenges. From mansion block flats and terraces off Fulham Road to modern developments along the river, we tailor our approach to your building and access.
We regularly work with local estate agents, landlords and businesses, so we can liaise with building management where needed, advise on parking suspensions, and schedule around loading restrictions. Our local experience keeps your move compliant, safe and on time.
Who Our Fulham Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we handle full household moves, including fragile items, artwork, wardrobes and large appliances. Our team can provide full packing or part packing depending on your needs.
Renters
Flat and house moves in Fulham often mean narrow stairways and strict move-in/move-out times. We plan around your inventory check, protect floors and walls, and keep everything organised so you can hand back keys with confidence.
Landlords
We support landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, part moves and furniture swaps between properties. We work efficiently and respectfully in shared buildings to minimise disruption to other residents.
Businesses
From small offices and studios to retail units, we provide office removals, IT and equipment moves, and internal relocations. We can work out of hours or at weekends to keep downtime to a minimum and protect your business continuity.
Students
For student moves to and from halls or shared houses, we offer cost-effective, smaller removals services – ideal when you have more than you can carry on the tube but less than a full house move.
What Our Removals Service Includes
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, drawers
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers (disconnected)
- Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and kitchenware
- Home office equipment – desks, chairs, filing cabinets
- Office furniture and equipment – workstations, storage, printers
- Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment, small appliances
- Sporting equipment, bicycles and garden items
Items We Normally Exclude
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we normally cannot move:
- Hazardous materials (paint thinners, fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals)
- Illegal items or items that breach building regulations
- Live animals (including pets and aquariums with water/fish in place)
- Perishable or open food for long-distance moves
- Heavily soiled or infested items
- Large commercial machinery without prior assessment
If you are unsure about a particular item, mention it during your enquiry and we will advise on what is possible and how to handle it safely.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your move details – current and new addresses, property type, access information and an outline of what needs moving. We ask a few focused questions so we can give you an accurate, written quotation. For smaller moves, we can often quote from your list and photos.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, volume of belongings, and any specialist items such as pianos or safes. The survey means we send the right size vehicle, the right number of trained movers and the right protective materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day – or sometimes the day before for bigger moves – we protect your property and belongings. This includes mattress and sofa covers, TV protection, wrapping delicate furniture, and using wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes. If you have chosen our packing service, we will professionally pack your items into labelled boxes, ready for transport.
4. Loading & Transport
We load systematically, starting with larger furniture and heavier items, then boxes and lighter items. Everything is secured in the vehicle to prevent movement during transit. Our professional drivers use appropriate routes for Fulham and beyond, taking into account low bridges, traffic and any timing restrictions at your destination.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it and stacking boxes sensibly so you can unpack easily. We perform a final walkthrough with you to check that everything is in place and that nothing has been missed.
Transparent Pricing – How Our Charges Work
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of items (or property size as an indicator)
- Distance between addresses
- Access and parking complexity
- Number of movers and vehicles required
- Additional services such as packing or dismantling/reassembly
You will receive a written quotation outlining what is included, any optional extras, and how long we estimate the move to take. There are no hidden charges; any potential extra costs (for example, waiting time due to delayed keys) are explained in advance so you can plan accordingly.
Why Choose a Professional Removal Company Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company offers clear advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-with-a-van:
- Trained teams know how to lift, carry and protect items safely, preventing injuries and damage.
- We provide the right equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and covers – which most people do not have at home.
- Our vehicles are purpose-built for removals and properly maintained.
- We carry goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for your protection.
- We coordinate logistics, parking and access so you can focus on everything else involved in moving.
In many cases, by the time you factor in van hire, fuel, lost time and the risk of damage, a professional service represents better overall value.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Every move we carry out is covered by appropriate insurance and delivered to recognised professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved.
- Public liability cover to safeguard you and your property during our work.
- Trained moving teams with hands-on experience and ongoing guidance on safe handling and customer care.
We work methodically, label clearly and communicate throughout the move so you always know what is happening next. If something unexpected arises, we deal with it calmly and professionally.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. That means careful wrapping, considered lifting, and sensible loading. We use high-quality protective materials, and wherever possible we reuse durable crates and blankets rather than relying on single-use plastics.
We also plan our routes and scheduling to reduce unnecessary mileage, and we consolidate journeys when appropriate. Our aim is to deliver a reliable removals service while keeping waste and environmental impact to a minimum.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House in Fulham
From a one-bedroom flat to a large family home, we manage the entire move – packing if required, dismantling and reassembling beds and wardrobes, and ensuring children’s rooms are set up first where possible so the whole family can settle in quickly.
Office Relocation
We assist businesses relocating within Fulham or across London. That can include moving desks, chairs, filing systems, IT equipment and stock. We can coordinate with your IT provider, label workstations and ensure everything arrives in the right place ready for work to continue.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves come up quickly – a tenancy ending, a buyer chain moving faster than expected, or short-notice office changes. When our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day removals, bringing the same level of care and organisation to an urgent move as we do to one booked months in advance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal service in Fulham cost?
The cost depends on the volume of your belongings, the distance between properties, access, and any additional services you choose, such as packing or dismantling furniture. Smaller moves within Fulham may be charged on an hourly rate, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted at a fixed price. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear, written quotation so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to explain how the price is calculated in plain terms.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice removals in Fulham and the surrounding areas. Availability will depend on the size of your move, access, and how far you are travelling. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early in the day as possible with key details and any flexibility on timing. We will quickly assess what we can do, which vehicle and crew are available, and provide a realistic timescale so you can plan around it.
What insurance cover do you provide?
All our removals are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being transported, and public liability cover, which protects you and your property should any accidental damage occur during the move. Our team members are experienced and careful, but insurance offers important peace of mind. We can explain the key points of our cover before you book, and if you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss any additional precautions or documentation that may be appropriate.
What is included in your removals service?
Our standard removals service includes the vehicle, a professional moving team, all necessary moving equipment, loading at your current address, safe transport, and unloading into the rooms you specify at your new property. We protect furniture and key items as standard. Optional extras include full or part packing, supplying boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembling furniture, and disposing of unwanted items by prior arrangement. Your quotation will clearly list what is included, and we can tailor the service to suit your budget and timescale.
What is the difference between your removals service and a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service typically offers transport and some lifting, but may not include trained staff, proper insurance, or detailed planning. As a dedicated removal company, we provide experienced teams, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover, and a structured process from survey through to unloading. We bring the right protective materials, plan access and parking, and manage the move so it is safe, efficient and predictable. This level of professionalism is especially important for larger moves or when you have valuable or fragile belongings.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you know your moving date, especially if you are moving at the end of the month, on a Friday or during peak seasons when demand is higher. For most moves, two to four weeks’ notice works well, allowing time for a survey, planning and, if required, packing. However, we understand that dates can change, particularly with property chains, so we remain as flexible as possible. If your move is last minute, do still contact us – we will always see what we can do.
