We handle everything from small flats to large family homes and busy offices. Our local teams are trained, uniformed and experienced in working in Battersea’s busy streets, controlled parking zones and period properties with tight staircases.

As a fully established removals company, we provide:

Local Removals Expertise in Battersea

Working in Battersea every day means we know the area inside out – from riverside developments and mansion blocks off Prince of Wales Drive to Victorian terraces off Lavender Hill. We plan your move around local traffic patterns, loading bays and parking restrictions to keep things running smoothly.

Our local knowledge helps us:

• Arrange parking suspensions where needed
• Choose the right size vehicles for your street
• Plan timing to avoid peak congestion
• Protect communal areas in shared buildings

This practical experience allows us to minimise disruption on the day and reduce the risk of delays and damage.

Who Our Removal Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or moving out of London, we manage full household moves, including fragile items, artwork and bulky furniture. We can coordinate with your completion time and work closely with your estate agent or solicitor where needed.

Renters

We regularly help tenants moving between rented properties. We take care to protect walls, floors and stairwells to support you in returning the property in good condition. Flexible dates and evening or weekend moves can often be arranged.

Landlords

Landlords and agents use our service for quick, tidy moves between tenancies, furniture swaps and clearance of remaining tenant items (within agreed limits). We work efficiently and leave the property ready for cleaning or re-letting.

Businesses

For offices and commercial premises, we offer office removals designed to limit downtime. We can move IT equipment, filing, stock and office furniture, with careful labelling and planned phasing to keep your business operational.

Students

Students moving into or out of Battersea halls or shared houses benefit from our smaller-load options. We can combine moves or offer cost-effective slots for single rooms, storing items temporarily if required.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

Our removal teams routinely move:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes and all standard household furniture
• Appliances such as washing machines and fridges (disconnected)
• Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware and personal belongings
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and archive boxes
• Electronics, including TVs and computers, with appropriate protection
• Outdoor furniture, barbecues (clean and empty) and tools

Items Excluded or Subject to Conditions

For safety and insurance reasons, we do not normally move:

• Hazardous materials (paints, fuels, gas bottles, chemicals)
• Illegal or stolen goods
• Live animals or pets
• Valuables such as cash, jewellery or important documents (we advise you to carry these personally)
• Very high-value artwork or antiques without prior agreement and special arrangements
• Pianos and very heavy safes unless booked with appropriate equipment and staffing

If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’re happy to advise ahead of time so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or email with your move details: current address, destination, property size and preferred dates. We’ll ask a few practical questions about access, parking and key items before giving an initial estimate. All quotes are transparent and obligation-free.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a very small move, we carry out a short survey. This may be via video call or an onsite visit in Battersea. We assess access, volume of belongings, any fragile or awkward items and discuss any specific requirements. This allows us to plan the right team size, vehicle and timing.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between full packing, part packing (for fragile items only) or packing yourself. If we are packing, we supply quality materials and label boxes clearly by room. We also protect furniture with covers and blankets, and can dismantle beds, wardrobes and other items as needed.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, carries out a quick walk-through and then loads your belongings systematically. Floors, bannisters and doors are protected where necessary. Everything is securely fastened in our vehicles, and your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the road.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it. We reassemble any items we dismantled, position large pieces safely and can remove used packing materials by prior arrangement. Before we leave, we check you’re happy with the placement and that nothing has been overlooked.

Transparent Pricing for Removal Services

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Distance between addresses
• Access and parking complexity
• Number of movers required
• Optional services such as packing, materials and storage

Once we’ve carried out a survey and agreed the scope, you receive a written quotation detailing what is included. Any potential additional charges (for example, for long carries, extra flights of stairs or late key release) are explained in advance so you can budget with confidence.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van might look cheaper at first glance, but it can quickly become stressful and expensive if things go wrong. Our trained teams use the correct lifting techniques, equipment and packing methods to reduce the risk of damage or injury.

A professional removals company like Battersea Movers offers:

• Fully insured transport and handling
• Reliable timing and confirmed bookings
• Proper protection for furniture and property
• Experienced planning for access and parking
• Clear accountability if issues arise

This level of organisation and protection is rarely available with informal or ad-hoc services.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Battersea Movers is fully insured for both your goods and your property.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – protects against damage to your property or third-party property caused by our work.
• Trained moving teams – all staff receive ongoing training in manual handling, packing techniques and customer care.

We follow industry best practice, maintain our vehicles regularly and use appropriate equipment for safe, efficient moves.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to move your belongings safely while reducing waste and environmental impact where possible. Furniture and key items are wrapped and protected using reusable blankets, padded covers and, where appropriate, recyclable materials.

Our sustainability approach includes:

• Using reusable crates and blankets instead of excessive single-use plastics
• Offering collection and re-use of good quality boxes
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Maintaining vehicles for fuel efficiency and reliability

We balance strong protection for your goods with an awareness of environmental responsibilities.

Office and Business Relocations

We support local businesses moving within Battersea or across London. This includes phased moves, evening or weekend schedules and careful handling of IT equipment and confidential files. We work with your team to label, plan and execute the move so staff can settle in quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removal companies in Battersea typically charge?

Costs vary depending on the size of your property, volume of belongings, distance between addresses, access issues and whether you need packing services. A small flat move within Battersea will be significantly less than a large family home moving out of London. After a brief survey, we provide a clear, itemised quotation so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras, and any potential additional charges, such as waiting for key release, are explained in advance.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removal bookings?

We can often help with same-day or urgent moves, especially within Battersea and nearby areas, but it does depend on existing bookings and team availability. If you need a last-minute move, contact us by phone for the quickest response and we’ll let you know what options we have. Where we can’t accommodate your exact time, we’ll advise the nearest feasible slot. For peace of mind and better choice of dates, we always recommend booking as early as you can.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles and under our care. We also hold public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to your property or a third party’s property during the move. We’ll explain the key points of our cover when we quote, including any single-item value limits or exclusions. For especially high-value items, we may recommend additional specialist cover or tailored handling arrangements.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service includes a professional team, appropriate vehicles, protective equipment, loading at your old property, safe transport and unloading into the correct rooms at your new address. We protect furniture and key items with covers and blankets as standard. Optional extras include full or partial packing services, supply of packing materials, disassembly and reassembly of furniture and removal of used packing materials. All inclusions and options are clearly set out in your written quotation before you confirm your booking.

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

A professional removals company provides a structured, insured and well-planned service. You get trained staff, appropriate vehicles, protective equipment, documented insurance cover and an agreed schedule. A casual man-and-van may be fine for one or two items, but often lacks formal insurance, risk assessments, packing knowledge and backup if something goes wrong. With us, you have clear accountability, written terms and a team used to handling everything from fragile items to heavy furniture safely and efficiently.

How far in advance should I book my move?

We recommend booking as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you’re moving at the end of the month or during busy periods such as summer. For most home moves, two to four weeks’ notice is ideal, but we frequently accommodate moves on shorter notice. Early booking gives you more choice of dates and allows us to arrange parking suspensions if required. Even if your date is not fully confirmed, it’s worth discussing your plans with us so we can pencil you into the schedule.
