Our Step‑by‑Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or our online form with your moving dates, current address and destination. We will ask a few practical questions about the size of your property, access, and any special items. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote outlining what is included.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a short survey. This can be carried out via video call or in person, depending on what suits you. The survey allows us to confirm volumes, assess access (stairs, lifts, parking) and identify fragile or high‑value items. It also removes guesswork, so there are no surprises on moving day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything professionally
• Part packing service – for fragile and high‑value items only
• Self‑packing – you pack; we provide boxes and materials on request

We label boxes clearly by room and contents, and we protect furniture with covers, blankets and wrapping to reduce the risk of damage in transit.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, introduces themselves and walks through the property with you. We load systematically, starting with larger items and working through room by room. Everything is securely tied and protected in our vehicles. We then transport your belongings directly to your new home using planned routes to minimise delays.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled, position large items where you want them, and remove our packing materials and waste. Before we leave, we check that everything you expected has been unloaded and placed appropriately.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Dulwich

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

• Volume of goods and number of rooms
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance from parking)
• Travel distance between addresses
• Level of service – packing, dismantling, reassembly and special items
• Day of the week and any out‑of‑hours requirements

You will receive a written quote detailing what is included so you can compare like‑for‑like. If your requirements change before moving day, let us know and we will update the quote accordingly.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY?

Hiring a professional removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using an informal man‑with‑a‑van service:

• Safety – correct lifting techniques and equipment reduce the risk of injury
• Protection – proper wrapping, padding and stacking minimise damage
• Efficiency – experienced teams complete moves faster and with less disruption
• Reliability – confirmed booking, arrival times and written terms
• Insurance – your belongings are covered if something goes wrong

A move that might take you and friends an entire weekend can often be completed in a single day with a professional team, reducing stress and downtime.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Dulwich Man and Van operates to clear, professional standards to protect both you and your belongings. We carry:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your possessions while they are being moved
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to property or third parties

Our moving teams are trained in safe handling, wrapping and loading techniques. We follow agreed schedules, use the right equipment for the job and maintain clean, well‑kept vehicles. If you have high‑value items, we can discuss additional precautions to give you extra peace of mind.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Every move is handled as if we were moving our own belongings. We use high‑quality blankets, covers and wrapping to protect furniture, doorways, floors and bannisters. Particular care is taken with glass, mirrors, artwork and fragile items, which are wrapped and positioned securely in the vehicle.

Where possible, we reuse strong removal crates and recyclable materials, and we minimise wasted journeys by careful route planning. If you would like us to take away old boxes after you have unpacked, we can arrange this to help you start life in your new home with less clutter.

Real‑World Moving Scenarios We Handle

Family House Moves

From Victorian terraces in East Dulwich to larger homes in West Dulwich, we regularly move families of all sizes. We work around school runs, completion times and key‑handovers to keep disruption to a minimum.

Flat and Apartment Moves

We are experienced with top‑floor flats, lift restrictions and tight stairwells. Our team plans access carefully and uses appropriate equipment to move your belongings safely, even in challenging buildings.

Office and Small Business Moves

For local businesses, we can relocate small offices within Dulwich or to other parts of London. We move desks, filing, IT equipment and stock, aiming to reduce your downtime as much as reasonably possible.

Urgent and Short‑Notice Moves

Occasionally, circumstances change and you need to move quickly. Subject to availability, we can accommodate same‑day or short‑notice moves in Dulwich, providing the same level of care and organisation as a pre‑planned move.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Dulwich cost?

The cost depends on the size of your property, volume of belongings, access at each address, travel distance and level of service required. Smaller flat moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while full house moves are usually priced as a fixed quote after a short survey. Packing, dismantling and reassembly are optional extras. Once we understand your specific requirements, we provide a written, itemised quotation so you can see exactly what you are paying for, with no hidden charges added on moving day.

Can you handle same‑day or urgent removals?

We do offer same‑day or short‑notice removals in Dulwich where our schedule allows. Availability will depend on existing bookings, the size of your move and how far you are travelling. Urgent moves usually work best for smaller properties or partial loads. If you need to move quickly, contact us as soon as possible with your details. We will confirm what we can realistically achieve, provide a clear price, and outline any limitations so you can make an informed decision.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your possessions are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property or third parties. Insurance is subject to reasonable packing and handling conditions, which we will explain when you book. For particularly valuable items, we may suggest additional wrapping, special handling or discussing cover with your own insurer to ensure you are completely comfortable with the level of protection in place.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard service includes supplying a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you choose at your new property. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, and we handle normal dismantling of basic items where agreed in advance. Optional extras include packing, unpacking, provision of boxes and materials, disposal of unwanted items and additional labour for particularly heavy or complex pieces. Your written quote will set out clearly what is included so there is no confusion.

How is a professional removals service different from a basic man‑and‑van?

A casual man‑and‑van typically provides transport and basic loading only, often without formal training or appropriate insurance. A professional removals service, like ours, offers trained staff, proper protective equipment, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and structured planning of your move. We assess access, protect property and belongings, provide written quotes and agree timescales in advance. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs, giving you a more controlled, predictable moving experience.

How far in advance should I book my Dulwich house removal?

For most moves, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday or at month‑end when demand is highest. That said, we understand that exchange and completion dates can change, so we aim to be as flexible as possible. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil you in and confirm once things are finalised. For short‑notice moves, contact us as early as you can so we can check availability and advise on suitable options.
