Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with basic details of your move: addresses, property size, dates and any special requirements. We ask clear, practical questions so we can provide an accurate, no-obligation quotation. Our pricing is straightforward, with no hidden extras for normal moves.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything beyond a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or in person. We assess access, parking, stairs or lifts, the volume of belongings and any fragile or awkward items. This step lets us choose the right vehicle, crew size and equipment and confirm your final price upfront.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer flexible packing support:
- Full packing service – our trained team packs your entire home using quality materials.
- Part packing – we pack only fragile or high-value items such as glassware, pictures and electronics.
- Self packing – you pack your own boxes and we supply materials if required.
On moving day, we protect floors, doorways and bannisters, and carefully wrap furniture and delicate items.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained removals team loads your belongings systematically, ensuring heavier items are secured correctly and fragile items are protected. We use blankets, straps and covers throughout. Your goods are transported in our clean, well-maintained vehicles, covered by goods in transit insurance for your peace of mind.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload room by room, placing items where you want them. We reassemble furniture we dismantled as part of the move and remove our packing materials and waste so you are not left with clutter. Our aim is to get you settled as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear, honest pricing. Your quote will normally be based on:
- Volume of goods and size of vehicle(s) required
- Number of movers needed and expected duration
- Distance between properties and any extra stops
- Optional extras, such as packing or materials supply
- Access issues, such as long carries or difficult stairs, if applicable
We confirm all charges before the move so you know exactly what to expect. If your requirements change, we discuss any impact on price in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Moving yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van might seem cheaper at first, but it often leads to damaged items, injuries, delays and hidden costs. With Man with Van Anerley you benefit from:
- Experienced, professional crews who move heavy and fragile items every day.
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools for safe handling.
- Planned timings to fit your key release or check-out schedule.
- Insurance-backed protection for your belongings.
- Less physical strain and stress so you can focus on paperwork and handovers.
In many cases, using a professional team actually reduces overall risk and cost when you factor in potential damage, time off work and van hire charges.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are in our care and vehicles, subject to terms and limits.
- Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
- Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting techniques, proper packing methods and clear communication.
We work to consistent standards on every job, turning up on time, in uniform and with the right tools for the work required.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your property as if it were our own. That means careful handling, use of protective covers and clear labelling of boxes to reduce mistakes. Where practical, we use reusable protective materials and aim to minimise waste. Where new materials are needed, we choose robust products that protect items effectively and can often be reused on future moves.
We also plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage, helping keep both emissions and costs down.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house removals in Anerley cost?
The cost depends mainly on the volume of your belongings, the distance between properties, access issues and whether you need packing services. Smaller flat moves within Anerley may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger house moves are usually quoted as a fixed price following a survey. We provide clear, written quotations with no hidden charges for normal moves, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit. Contact us with a basic list or arrange a survey for an accurate figure.
Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?
We understand that not every move can be planned months in advance. Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice house removals in Anerley. Availability will depend on our existing bookings, the size of your move and the time of year. If you need an urgent move, it is best to call us directly so we can quickly assess what is required and confirm whether we can help. If we can fit you in, we will provide a clear price and realistic timeframe from the outset.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles and under our control, subject to policy terms and reasonable packing standards. We also carry public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move. We will happily explain the key points of our cover and any limits before you book. For very high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional specialist cover or specific packing arrangements.
What is included in a typical house removals service?
Our standard service includes loading all agreed items, transport between properties and unloading into the rooms you choose. We protect your furniture and property, and we can dismantle and reassemble basic items like bed frames and tables by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or part packing services, supply of boxes and materials, and disposal of unwanted items by arrangement. We set out clearly in your quote what is and is not included so expectations are aligned before moving day.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, simple jobs, but a full house move usually benefits from a structured, professional service. We provide trained crews, proper equipment, insurance-backed protection and a planned process from survey to unloading. We assess access, protect floors and furniture, and work to an agreed schedule. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disagreements over costs. For most households, the additional reassurance and reliability of a professional removals team far outweighs any small saving from a basic van hire.
How far in advance should I book my house removal?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you know your likely moving date, especially if you are moving at the end of the month, on a Friday or during school holidays, when demand is higher. Many clients confirm their booking 2–4 weeks in advance. However, we understand that exchange and completion dates can change, so we aim to be as flexible as possible. If your move is last-minute, contact us anyway – if we have capacity, we will do our best to accommodate you.
