Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online form with your move details: addresses, property type, dates and any special items. We will ask a few clear questions and provide a no-obligation transparent quote based on the information you give us.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger moves or more complex jobs, we carry out a short survey. This can often be done virtually (photos or video call), or onsite in New Addington if needed. The survey lets us assess access, volume of items and any stairs, lifts or parking restrictions, so we can allocate the right team, vehicle and time.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items, or choose our packing service where we supply professional packing materials and carefully pack your belongings. We label boxes by room, wrap fragile items and protect furniture with covers, blankets and shrink wrap. We can also dismantle beds, wardrobes and larger items as required.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day we arrive on time, walk through the plan with you, and then begin loading. We use proper lifting techniques and equipment such as sack trucks and straps. Items are stacked securely in the van, with blankets and padding between them. We then transport your goods directly to the new property using the most efficient route.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination we unload everything carefully, placing furniture and boxes into the correct rooms as instructed. We can reassemble previously dismantled furniture and position items so you can start settling in straight away. Before we leave, we do a final check with you to ensure nothing has been missed.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Size of the move (volume of items and number of rooms)
• Travel distance between addresses
• Access and complexity (stairs, long carry, no lift, restricted parking)
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Optional extras such as packing, materials and dismantling

We will explain exactly what is included, so you know what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges; any potential extra costs (for example, extended waiting time due to delayed keys) are discussed in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removal service in New Addington gives you a safer, smoother and usually more efficient move than trying to manage everything yourself or using an unregulated casual van.

• Experience – We know how to move bulky, fragile and valuable items safely.
• Proper equipment – Professional moving blankets, trolleys, straps and covers.
• Time-saving – A trained team can complete in hours what might take you all day.
• Reduced risk – Lower chance of damage to your belongings and property, and less risk of personal injury from lifting.
• Insurance-backed – Your items are protected by appropriate cover, which informal options often do not provide.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Man With a Van New Addington operates to clear, professional standards for every move.

• Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and limits.
• Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property or injury caused by our work.
• Trained moving teams – Our crews are trained in lifting techniques, packing, loading and safe driving practices.

We will happily explain our cover and limits so you know exactly how your items are protected. For high-value items we can discuss additional precautions and arrangements.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Your belongings and property are treated with care from start to finish. We protect floors and doorways where required, wrap furniture and use sufficient padding to minimise movement in transit. Our vans are regularly maintained and kept clean and tidy inside.

We also aim to work as sustainably as practical. We reuse strong cartons and protective materials where possible, encourage responsible recycling of unwanted items, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removal services in New Addington cost?

The cost depends mainly on how much you are moving, the distance between properties and the level of service you require. Smaller local moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while full house removals are usually quoted as a fixed price based on a survey. Additional services such as packing, materials or dismantling will be itemised clearly. Once we have your details, we provide a written quote so you can see exactly what is included before you book.

Can you help with same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, where our schedule allows we can offer same-day or short-notice removal services in New Addington and nearby areas. Availability depends on how busy we are and the size of the job, so it is best to call us as early as possible. For urgent moves we focus on the essentials: getting the right size van and team to you quickly, moving the priority items first and keeping the process as straightforward and efficient as possible.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms, conditions and limits. We also hold public liability insurance for added protection. We always encourage customers to tell us about any particularly high-value or fragile items in advance so we can take extra care and, if needed, look at additional arrangements. We are happy to explain our insurance cover in detail when you request a quote.

What is included in your removal service?

Our standard removal service includes a professional team, a suitably sized vehicle, loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms of your choice. We provide protective blankets and equipment as standard, and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture items by prior agreement. Optional extras include packing services, packing materials and help with disconnecting or reconnecting certain items by arrangement. All inclusions will be clearly listed in your quote so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.

What is the difference between a removal service and a basic man-and-van?

A dedicated removal service offers a more comprehensive and reliable approach than a casual man-and-van. We provide trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper equipment and a structured process, from survey through to placement of items in your new property. Casual man-and-van operators may be suitable for very small, low-value moves, but often lack insurance, planning and experience. With us, your move is properly organised, documented and covered, reducing the risk of damage, delays or last-minute cancellations.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are moving on a Friday or at month-end, as these times are popular. For most house moves, two to four weeks’ notice is ideal. However, we understand dates can change, and we will always do our best to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Even if your date is not fully confirmed, it is worth contacting us early to discuss options and provisional availability.
