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.

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

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.

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.

- Student moves – last-minute changes to accommodation just before term starts or ends.

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.
