Furniture Removals

Furniture Removals Teddington – Man and Van Teddington

At Man and Van Teddington, we provide reliable, carefully planned furniture removals across Teddington and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving everything from studio flats to full family homes and offices, we know how to move your furniture safely, efficiently and with minimum disruption.

Professional Furniture Removals in Teddington

Our furniture removals service is designed for anyone who wants their move handled properly by a professional, fully insured team. Whether you are moving within Teddington, elsewhere in London or further afield, we manage the whole process – protecting your items, your property and your time.

We use suitable vehicles, protective materials and trained staff who move furniture every day. Large, heavy or awkward pieces are carefully dismantled where necessary, wrapped, loaded and transported with the right equipment so you are not risking injuries, broken items or damage to walls, doors and stairways.

Local Expertise in Teddington

Working in Teddington week in, week out means we understand local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts. From riverside apartments and Victorian terraces to modern developments and offices, we plan your move around access, parking and timing so the day runs smoothly.

We routinely liaise with building managers, neighbours and concierge services, and can advise you on permits, lift bookings and the best time of day to move to avoid traffic or school runs. This local knowledge keeps your furniture removals on schedule and reduces stress on the day.

Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are moving home, upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of the area, we handle whole-house furniture moves, including fragile and high-value items. We treat your home as carefully as our own.

Renters

Whether you are moving between rented properties or into your first place, we provide cost-effective moves that fit around check-in/check-out times and inventory inspections, helping you leave your old place in good order.

Landlords

We help landlords with furnished and part-furnished properties, including removal, delivery and rearranging of furniture between lets, storage moves and end-of-tenancy clear furniture removals.

Businesses

From small offices to retail units and studios, we offer office and commercial furniture removals. Desks, filing cabinets, meeting tables, shelving and reception furniture are dismantled, labelled and reassembled at your new premises with minimal downtime.

Students

Students moving to or from Teddington halls or shared houses benefit from our smaller, flexible moves. We can move beds, desks, chairs and personal furniture in one cost-effective trip, including term-time or end-of-year moves.

What Items We Can Move

We move most household and office furniture, including:

• Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
• Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
• Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
• Desks, office chairs and filing cabinets
• Bookcases, shelving units and cupboards
• TV units, media cabinets and small appliances
• Outdoor furniture (weather permitting)
• Flat-pack furniture – dismantling and reassembly where needed

Items We Cannot Move or Move Only by Prior Arrangement

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or must be agreed in advance:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, paint, chemicals, gas bottles)
• Illegal items of any kind
• Live animals or pets
• Large safes, industrial machinery or very heavy items without prior survey
• High-value art, antiques or specialist items without prior agreement
• Cash, jewellery and important documents – we advise you to move these yourself

If you are unsure about a particular item, simply mention it during the enquiry and we will confirm what is possible.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with a brief description of your move: addresses, access details, key furniture pieces and preferred dates. We will ask a few questions to understand volumes, access and timing, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on your requirements.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This lets us check staircases, lifts, doorways and parking, and identify any tricky items that may need dismantling or extra protection. Accurate surveys mean the right number of staff, vehicle size and materials are allocated, preventing delays on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between doing your own packing or using our professional packing service. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply boxes and materials. On the day, our team protects your furniture using blankets, covers and shrink wrap where appropriate. Mattresses, sofas and delicate surfaces are covered before leaving the property.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained movers load your furniture methodically, securing items to prevent movement in transit. We use trolleys, skates and lifting straps where helpful to reduce risk and protect floors and walls. Vehicles are loaded to maximise stability and safety, and we transport your goods directly to the new address unless storage or multi-drop is arranged.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload your furniture and place each item in the room you choose. If we dismantled any furniture, we can reassemble it as agreed. We work with you to ensure key items like beds, sofas and desks are set up first so you can use your new space straight away.

Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals

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

• Volume and type of furniture
• Number of movers required
• Travel distance and access (stairs, lifts, long carries)
• Optional services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly

We will explain exactly what is included so you know what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges for basic protective materials or normal handling; any potential extras (such as parking charges, waiting time or out-of-hours work) are discussed in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Moving furniture yourself or using an informal man-and-van may seem cheaper at first, but it often involves hidden costs and risks. With Man and Van Teddington you benefit from:

• Trained staff who move furniture safely and efficiently
• Correct lifting techniques that reduce risk of injury
• Proper equipment and vehicles designed for removals
• Protective materials to prevent damage to items and property
• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
• Reliable scheduling – we turn up when we say we will

By using a professional, you protect your furniture, your home and your own health, often saving money in the long run by avoiding damage and delays.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being moved
• Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property
• Trained moving teams with regular hands-on experience

We follow industry-standard handling and stacking techniques, and we complete basic condition checks on larger items so any existing marks are noted before we start. While we always work to avoid any damage, you have peace of mind that proper cover is in place.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Every move is carried out with care. We protect property and furniture with blankets, covers and floor protection where required, and we plan routes through your home to minimise the risk of knocks or scrapes. Fragile or polished items receive extra padding and are handled by experienced staff.

We are also working to reduce waste and environmental impact by:

• Reusing strong boxes where suitable
• Encouraging customers to return or recycle packing materials
• Planning routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage

Typical Furniture Removal Use Cases

Moving House

From small flats to large family homes, we plan and carry out full furniture moves, often alongside boxes and personal items. We can schedule key furniture first so that bedrooms and living areas are usable straight away.

Office and Commercial Moves

Businesses use us for office relocations, refurbishments and internal reshuffles. We move desks, chairs, storage and meeting room furniture out of hours if required to minimise disruption.

Urgent and Same-Week Moves

Last-minute changes of plan, tenancy deadlines or unexpected opportunities sometimes mean you need to move quickly. Where we have availability, we can offer same-day or short-notice furniture removals in and around Teddington.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do furniture removals in Teddington cost?

The cost depends mainly on the volume and weight of furniture, access at each property, distance travelled and how many movers are required. Smaller local moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Optional extras such as packing, dismantling and reassembly can be added if needed. Once we understand your move, we will provide a clear, written quotation so you know exactly what to expect before you book.

Can you handle same-day or urgent furniture removals?

Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves, especially within Teddington and nearby areas, depending on existing bookings. If your move is urgent, contact us as early in the day as possible with details of what needs moving, access and timings. We will check our schedule, vehicle and staff availability and give you an honest answer. Where we can help, we will confirm costs, arrival window and what we can realistically achieve within the time you have.

Are my items 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 also hold public liability cover for work at your property. These policies are designed to protect you in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. We can explain the key terms and any limits before you book. We still handle your belongings as if they were our own, using protective covers and careful loading to minimise any risk of damage.

What exactly is included in a furniture removals service?

Our standard service includes supplying a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, basic protective materials such as blankets and covers, loading at the collection address, safe transport and unloading into the rooms of your choice at the new property. If agreed in advance, we can also provide packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply of boxes and packing materials. Parking costs, congestion or toll charges and any unusual extras are always discussed with you beforehand so there are no surprises.

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

A casual man-and-van may simply provide a driver and vehicle, often without formal training, insurance or proper equipment. A professional removals service like ours provides trained staff, fully insured operations, appropriate vehicles, protective materials and a structured process from quotation to completion. We plan your move, assess access, allocate enough movers and ensure your furniture is protected throughout. This reduces risk of damage or injury and means you know who is turning up, when, and what standard of service to expect.

How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?

For most moves, we recommend booking as soon as you know your likely date, especially for Fridays, month-ends and peak periods, which fill quickly. A week or two is usually enough for smaller local moves; larger house or office moves are best booked several weeks ahead. That said, we do our best to accommodate short-notice bookings when our schedule allows, so it is always worth asking, even if your date is very close.

Piano Removals

Piano Removals Teddington – Man and Van Teddington

Moving a piano is very different from moving standard furniture. At Man and Van Teddington, our dedicated piano removals service is built around safety, precision, and specialist equipment. Whether you own an upright piano in a first-floor flat or a baby grand in a family home, we move it with care, planning every detail to protect both your instrument and your property.

Specialist Piano Removals in Teddington

Based in Teddington and working throughout South West London and the surrounding areas, we provide a local, reliable service for:

• Upright piano removals – standard, overstrung, and console uprights
• Grand and baby grand piano removals – dismantling and reassembly where required
• Digital piano and keyboard removals
• Internal moves – room-to-room or within the same building
• Long-distance piano transport – across London or further afield in the UK

Our crews are trained in safe lifting techniques and piano-specific handling. We use piano dollies, heavy-duty blankets, stair-climbers where appropriate, and protective wrapping to ensure your piano is secure from the moment we arrive until it is placed in its new position.

Who Our Piano Removal Service Is For

Our piano removals in Teddington are designed to support a wide range of clients:

Homeowners

If you are moving house, renovating, or passing a family piano on to the next generation, we handle the full move and coordinate timings with your main removal if needed.

Renters

Flats and maisonettes often involve tight stairwells and restricted access. We survey access routes in advance and plan the safest way to remove or deliver your piano without damage to walls, floors, or bannisters.

Landlords & Letting Agents

Where a property comes with a piano, we can relocate or remove it between tenancies, or transport it to storage. We work neatly and respectfully, protecting your investment and minimising disruption to residents.

Businesses & Institutions

We regularly assist schools, music studios, theatres, churches, and hotels with piano deliveries, relocations and internal moves. Early morning, evening, or weekend slots can be arranged to fit around your schedule.

Students

Music students moving between term-time and home addresses often need a reliable move for an upright or digital piano. We offer sensible, transparent pricing and can combine a piano move with other belongings if required.

What Our Piano Removal Service Includes

Items We Typically Move

• Upright pianos
• Baby grand and grand pianos
• Digital pianos and stage pianos
• Piano stools and benches
• Associated stands, pedals and accessories

Items & Situations We Cannot Cover

• Pianos fixed permanently to the building structure
• Pianos in unsafe or structurally unsound areas (e.g. rotten floors, unstable balconies)
• Moves requiring crane hire without prior arrangement
• Hazardous materials stored inside or around the piano

Where a crane, hoist, or additional specialist contractor is required, we can advise and coordinate as part of a planned move, but this will be quoted for separately.

Our Step-by-Step Piano Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with key details: type of piano, current and destination addresses, floor levels, access (lifts, stairs, steps), and preferred dates. Using this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining what is included and any potential additional costs. There are no hidden extras; everything is explained up front.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most pianos, a video call or photos are enough to assess access and plan the move. For more complex jobs – such as grand pianos or awkward staircases – we may carry out an onsite survey. This allows us to measure accurately, identify risks and confirm the manpower and equipment required.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the day, our professional team arrives on time, introduces themselves, and walks through the plan with you. We then:

• Protect floors and doorways where needed
• Wrap the piano with quilted blankets and securing straps
• Remove and protect legs, lids or music stands on grand pianos
• Secure loose parts and pedals

4. Loading & Transport

The piano is carefully moved using specialised equipment and loaded onto our vehicle via a tail-lift or ramps. Inside the van, it is secured to the body to prevent movement during transit. Our vehicles are clean, well-maintained and covered by goods in transit insurance, giving you peace of mind throughout the journey.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we reverse the process: careful unloading, protection of access routes, and positioning of the piano where you want it. For grand pianos, we reassemble any removed parts and ensure the piano is stable and level. We recommend allowing the piano to settle before tuning, especially after a long move.

Transparent Piano Removal Pricing

Piano removals are priced based on several factors:

• Type and size of piano (upright, baby grand, grand)
• Distance between addresses
• Floor levels and access (stairs, lifts, steps, tight turns)
• Parking arrangements and any restrictions
• Additional services (storage, combined house move, difficult access)

We provide a clear, itemised quote before any booking is confirmed. Labour, equipment, travel, and basic protection are all included. You will know exactly what you are paying for and what is expected on the day.

Why Use Professional Piano Movers Instead of DIY

A piano can weigh anywhere from 150kg to well over 400kg. Attempting to move one using untrained help or basic equipment risks:

• Injury to you or helpers
• Damage to the piano's frame, soundboard, or finish
• Damage to floors, stairs, walls, and doors
• Difficulty navigating tight corners or stairwells

Our trained teams use purpose-built equipment and proven techniques to move pianos safely and efficiently. Compared to a casual man-and-van service, we offer detailed planning, appropriate insurance cover, and a focus on protecting a valuable, often sentimental instrument.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Man and Van Teddington operates to high professional standards to protect you and your piano:

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your piano while it is being transported in our vehicles
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property
• Trained moving teams – experienced staff who understand piano handling and manual handling safety

We are happy to provide evidence of insurance on request, and we will explain clearly what is and is not covered so that you can make an informed decision.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every piano as if it were our own. Protection is built into every stage of the job:

• Heavy-duty blankets and wraps to protect polished finishes
• Floor protection where there is a risk of scratching or marking
• Secure strapping and positioning in our vehicles

We also take a responsible approach to the environment. Our reusable blankets and straps minimise single-use materials, and we plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. Where pianos are being disposed of, we can advise on responsible recycling options or donation routes where suitable.

Real-World Piano Removal Scenarios

Moving House with a Piano

If you are relocating your entire home, we can integrate your piano removal into a full house move, ensuring it is handled by a specialist team. We coordinate timings so the piano is moved at the safest stage of the day, usually first or last, depending on access.

Office, Studio or School Relocation

For businesses and institutions in Teddington and beyond, we move pianos as part of wider relocations or as one-off jobs. This includes practice room reshuffles, studio upgrades, or moving a performance piano to a new hall.

Urgent or Short-Notice Piano Moves

Sometimes a piano needs to be moved quickly – for example, ahead of building works, a sale completing earlier than expected, or a last-minute venue change. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day piano removals. We will always be honest about what is realistic and safe within the timeframe.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a piano removal in Teddington cost?

The cost depends on the type of piano, access at each property, and the distance travelled. Upright piano moves with straightforward access are typically at the lower end of our pricing, while grand pianos, multiple flights of stairs, or restrictive access will cost more due to the extra time, staff, and equipment required. Once we have key details and, if needed, photos or a short video, we provide a clear, fixed quotation so you know the exact cost before you book.

Can you do same-day or urgent piano removals?

Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day piano removals in Teddington and nearby areas. Urgent moves depend on crew availability, vehicle space, and the complexity of access. Simple ground-floor jobs are easier to fit in at short notice than multi-storey or grand piano moves. Contact us as soon as you know you need the piano moved, and we will tell you honestly what we can do and offer the nearest suitable slot if same-day is not feasible.

Is my piano insured while you move it?

Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is on our vehicle, and we also hold public liability insurance for work at your property. Insurance is there as a safety net, but our main focus is preventing issues through careful planning, experienced staff and proper equipment. We will explain the scope and limits of cover before you book, and you are welcome to ask for copies of our policy details if you need them for your own records or for a venue or institution.

What is included in your piano removal service?

Our service includes the trained team, specialist moving equipment, protective blankets, loading, secure transport, and placement of the piano in its new position. For grand pianos, careful dismantling and reassembly of legs and lids are included where required. Floor and doorway protection are provided where there is a risk of damage. Additional services such as storage, crane hire, or combined house removals can be arranged and will be itemised on your quote so that you can see exactly what is included.

How is your service different from a regular man-and-van?

While many man-and-van operators will agree to move pianos, few have the specific training, equipment, and insurance that a specialist piano move requires. Our teams are experienced in handling heavy, delicate items, using piano dollies, ramps, and proper strapping methods. We also carry appropriate insurance and plan each move carefully, including surveys for more complex jobs. This reduces the risk of injury, damage to your property, and costly harm to the instrument itself, giving you a safer and more reliable service.

How far in advance should I book a piano removal?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly during busy periods such as Fridays, month-end, and school holidays. However, we understand that circumstances change quickly, especially around property completions and building work. If you need a shorter notice move, contact us and we will check our schedule. Even when we are busy, we may be able to offer a cancellation slot or an off-peak time that works for you.

Student Removals

Student Removals in Teddington by Man and Van Teddington

Moving as a student is usually on a tight budget, with limited time and plenty of stress around exams, end-of-tenancy checks and new accommodation. At Man and Van Teddington, we provide a straightforward, affordable student removals service in and around Teddington, designed specifically for halls, house shares and small flats.

We’re an experienced, local removals team offering professional, fully insured moves for students coming to, living in, or leaving Teddington. Whether you’re moving a single room or a small flat, we plan everything carefully so your belongings are moved safely and on time.

Local Student Removal Specialists in Teddington

Based in Teddington, we know the local area, parking restrictions and student accommodation layouts extremely well. That local knowledge makes a big difference on moving day, especially when access is tight or time slots are limited.

We regularly move students to and from:

• University halls and private student blocks
• Shared houses and flat shares
• Studios and small one-bed flats
• Storage units during the summer break

We’re used to working around exam timetables, tenancy deadlines and landlord inspections, keeping your move organised and efficient with minimal disruption.

Who Our Student Removals Service Is For

While this service focuses on students, our flexible approach is also ideal for:

Students

Perfect if you’re moving into halls, changing house share, heading home for the summer, or relocating for a placement year. We handle everything from a few boxes and suitcases to a full room of furniture and tech.

Homeowners

Parents helping students move can rely on a professional team to protect valuable items such as computers, instruments and furniture, with goods in transit insurance as standard.

Renters & Flat Sharers

If you’re in a small rented flat or room, our service is ideal for partial moves, end-of-tenancy clearouts, or relocating within Teddington and nearby areas.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We assist with clearing student properties between tenancies, removing abandoned items, and moving furnishings in or out of managed student accommodation.

Businesses & Student Housing Providers

We support student accommodation operators with bulk moves, room clearouts, and small-scale office and reception removals related to student housing.

What’s Included in Our Student Removals Service

Typical Items We Move

We regularly move:

• Boxes, suitcases and bags
• Desks, chairs, bedside tables and small wardrobes
• Mattresses and bed frames (dismantled if needed)
• PCs, laptops, monitors and gaming setups
• TVs and small home entertainment systems
• Kitchen items and small appliances (microwaves, kettles, toasters)
• Books, folders and study materials
• Sports equipment and musical instruments

Items We Cannot Move or Move Only by Special Arrangement

For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded or restricted:

• Hazardous or flammable materials (e.g. gas canisters, fuels, some chemicals)
• Illegal items or substances
• Open containers of liquids that may leak
• Pets and live animals
• Very high-value items (jewellery, cash, important documents) – we advise you to carry these personally

If you’re unsure about a particular item, ask us in advance and we’ll advise on the safest way to handle it.

Our Step-by-Step Student Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with your dates, addresses, and a rough list of what you’re moving. We’ll ask a few practical questions about access, floors, and parking. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with no hidden extras.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most student moves, a quick virtual survey (photos or video call) is enough. For larger moves, we may visit in person. This helps us confirm the vehicle size, number of movers, estimated time and any special requirements such as dismantling furniture or handling bulky items.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own belongings, or choose our packing service if you’re short on time. We can supply quality boxes, tape and packing materials. On moving day, we protect items with blankets and covers, and take extra care with electronics and fragile pieces.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team loads the van methodically, securing everything to minimise movement in transit. We use trolley and lifting techniques that protect both your items and the building. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while they’re with us.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload according to your instructions, placing boxes and furniture in the correct rooms to make unpacking easier. We’ll reassemble any furniture we dismantled and check you’re happy with everything before we leave.

Transparent, Fair Pricing for Student Moves

We understand students need clear, predictable costs. Our pricing is based on:

• Volume of items and size of the vehicle required
• Distance between addresses
• Access issues (stairs only, long walks, restricted parking)
• Any additional services (packing, furniture dismantling, storage)

For most student removals we can offer a fixed price once we know the details, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. There are no hidden charges for standard weekend moves or normal waiting times, and we explain any potential extras *before* you confirm your booking.

Why Use Professional Student Movers Instead of DIY?

Trying to move in a friend’s car or hiring a casual van may seem cheaper, but it often leads to multiple trips, damage, and unnecessary stress. By using a professional removals service you get:

• Experienced, trained movers who know how to protect and handle your belongings
• Appropriate equipment and vehicles for safe, efficient moving
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Reliable timing – essential for key collection and landlord check-outs
• Less risk of injury from lifting or awkward stairways

For a modest additional cost compared with DIY, you avoid last-minute problems and have a smoother, quicker move.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As an established removals company, we operate to clear professional standards:

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while being moved
• Public liability insurance – covers accidental damage to buildings or third-party property
• Trained moving teams – experienced staff, not casual day labour
• Well-maintained vehicles equipped for removals
• Clear communication from quotation to completion

We treat student moves with the same care as full house removals, because we know important items such as laptops, notes and instruments are not easily replaced.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Throughout every move we focus on protection and responsible working:

• Use of transit blankets, straps and covers to protect furniture
• Careful handling of electronics and fragile items
• Thoughtful loading to minimise movement in the van
• Re-use of durable packing materials where possible
• Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions

We also encourage re-use of boxes and can advise on how to pack effectively with minimal waste while still protecting your belongings.

Real-World Student Removal Scenarios We Handle

Moving into Halls or First-Year Accommodation

We collect from your home address and deliver straight to your student room, handling everything from boxes of clothes to your new desk and computer setup. Parents can be confident everything is moved safely and efficiently.

Changing House Share or Flat

When you’re switching from halls to a house share, or between shared houses, we manage the whole move around your tenancy dates, including awkward staircases and tight parking outside terraced properties.

Term-Time & Summer Storage Moves

If you’re heading home between terms or travelling, we move your items into a storage unit and then deliver them again when you return, keeping the whole process simple to organise.

Urgent and Last-Minute Student Moves

Sometimes a tenancy falls through or plans change unexpectedly. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or short-notice moves in Teddington, helping you avoid extra rent or storage costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a student removal in Teddington cost?

Costs depend mainly on how much you’re moving, the distance between addresses, and any access difficulties such as upper floors without lifts. Small student moves are often very affordable, especially when compared with hiring a van yourself. Once we know roughly how many boxes, pieces of furniture and electronics you have, we can usually give a fixed price. This means you know exactly what you’ll pay before you book, with no hidden extras for standard moves.

Can you do same-day or urgent student removals?

Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Teddington, especially outside peak weekend and end-of-month periods. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as you can with your locations and a list of items. We’ll check our schedule, advise on realistic timings, and give you a clear price before confirming the booking. While urgent slots can’t be guaranteed, we’ll always try to accommodate genuine last-minute situations.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they’re being moved in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability insurance for work at your property. This offers protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage. We still handle everything as if it were uninsured, using careful packing and loading methods. We do recommend that you personally carry irreplaceable documents, cash and sentimental valuables, as these fall outside standard removals cover.

What’s included in your student removals service?

Our standard service includes a suitable van, a trained removals team, loading at your current address, safe transport, and unloading into the rooms you specify at your new place. We provide protective blankets and securing straps as standard. Optional extras include packing materials, a full or partial packing service, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and moves into or out of storage. We’ll confirm exactly what’s included in your quote so you know what to expect on the day.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?

A casual man-and-van is often just transport, with little help or protection for your belongings and usually no insurance. Our service is a full professional removals operation. We use trained staff, plan the move properly, bring the right equipment, and provide goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. We also offer optional packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly. This approach is safer, more reliable, and typically much better value when you factor in time, risk and potential damage.

How far in advance should I book a student removal?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking 2–3 weeks in advance, especially around the start and end of university terms when demand is highest. That said, we’re used to student timetables changing and will always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Once you know your tenancy dates and roughly what you’re taking, get in touch and we can reserve a slot, then fine-tune the details closer to moving day.

Flat Removals

Flat Removals Teddington – Man and Van Teddington

Moving in or out of a flat in Teddington comes with its own challenges – stairs, tight hallways, parking restrictions and neighbours to consider.

• Local parking restrictions and loading rules
• Peak traffic times and best access routes
• How to coordinate with building managers and concierge teams

If you’re unsure about a specific item, we’ll advise you during the quotation or survey.

Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with the details of your move – addresses, flat floor levels, access information and a rough idea of what needs moving. We ask a few targeted questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on your requirements, including any optional services such as packing.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex flat moves, we carry out a short video or onsite survey. This lets us assess access (stairs, lifts, parking), the volume of belongings and any fragile or awkward items. It also helps us allocate the right size vehicle, the correct number of trained movers and appropriate protective materials.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you.
• Part packing – we pack fragile or high-value items only.
• Self-packing – you pack, and we provide guidance on best practice.

On moving day, we protect key items with furniture blankets and covers, and take care to safeguard communal areas where required.

4. Loading & Transport

Our professional team loads your belongings in a safe, logical order, using straps and blankets to keep everything secure in transit. We work efficiently but never rush at the expense of care. Your goods are then transported directly to your new property, or as agreed for multi-stop moves.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new flat, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble simple furniture where agreed in advance and will always check you’re happy with the placement before leaving. We aim to leave you with a functional living space on day one, not a pile of boxes in the hallway.

Transparent Flat Removals Pricing

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

• Volume of belongings and number of rooms
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
• Travel distance and any congestion/parking charges
• Number of movers required
• Optional services such as packing, materials or furniture assembly

We’ll explain how your quote is calculated so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional costs (for example, extended waiting times caused by delayed keys) are discussed clearly in advance.

Why Use Professional Flat Removals Instead of DIY?

Moving yourself or hiring a casual man-with-a-van can look cheaper on paper, but often leads to extra stress, breakages and delays. With a professional flat removals service you gain:

• Trained movers who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
• Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
• Proper planning around access, parking and building rules
• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings
• Less time off work, fewer risks of injury and a smoother moving day

In a flat, where space and access are limited, experience really does make a difference.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Man and Van Teddington operates to clear professional standards. We are:

• Fully insured with goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved
• Protected by public liability cover for work in and around your property
• Staffed by trained, experienced movers used to handling flat removals

We take the time to understand any specific concerns – from valuable artwork to awkward staircases – and plan accordingly. Our aim is to move you efficiently without compromising on care.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Your belongings and your building are treated with respect at every stage. We use:

• Furniture blankets, mattress covers and TV protection where required
• Floor and banister protection in communal areas if needed
• Safe lifting techniques to avoid damage and injury

We also work towards more sustainable removals by:

• Reusing strong, clean packing materials where appropriate
• Encouraging box returns after the move
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

Real-World Flat Removals Use Cases

Moving Between Flats in Teddington

We regularly help people move between rented flats, or from a rented place into a first owned property. Coordinating key collection, parking and lift booking is all part of the service.

Office and Home-Office Relocations

Many local businesses operate from flats or mixed-use buildings. We manage moves of desks, filing cabinets, IT equipment and stock with appropriate protection and labelling, helping you get working again quickly.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Life doesn’t always run to schedule. Where we have availability, we can accommodate urgent flat removals or same-/next-day moves, still applying the same standards of care and planning, just on a tighter timescale.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a flat removal in Teddington cost?

The cost of a flat removal depends mainly on how much you’re moving, the floor level and access at each property, the distance between addresses and whether you require packing or furniture assembly. Smaller studio or one-bed flat moves can often be completed within a few hours, while larger two- or three-bed apartments will take longer and need a larger team. We provide a clear, itemised quote after a short discussion or survey, so you know exactly what is included and can budget with confidence.

Can you handle same-day or urgent flat removals?

Where our schedule allows, we can arrange same-day or short-notice flat removals in Teddington and surrounding areas. The more notice you can give, the easier it is for us to allocate the right team and vehicle, but we understand that some moves are genuinely urgent. Contact us as soon as your situation is confirmed and we’ll let you know our earliest availability, along with a realistic time estimate based on your flat size, access and distance. Even on urgent moves, we still prioritise safe handling and proper protection.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded, subject to policy terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for work in and around your property. We’ll explain the level of cover, any exclusions and how best to protect especially valuable or delicate items. You’re welcome to ask specific questions about particular possessions so we can advise on packing, handling and whether additional cover through your own insurer is advisable.

What’s included in your flat removals service?

Our standard service includes loading your boxed and prepared items, protecting and moving your furniture, safe transport to your new address, and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide all necessary moving equipment such as blankets and straps. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of packing materials and basic furniture disassembly/reassembly, agreed in advance. Parking arrangements and building access information are normally organised with your help before moving day, so everything runs smoothly and without delay.

How is a professional flat removal different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with little planning or protection, and may not carry appropriate insurance. Our flat removals service combines the flexibility of a van with the standards of a removals company. You benefit from trained staff, structured planning, protective materials, fully insured transport and clear communication from first enquiry to completion. For flats in particular, where access and building rules matter, this level of professionalism significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes with landlords or neighbours.

How far in advance should I book my flat removal?

Ideally, you should book as soon as your moving date is reasonably certain, especially if you’re moving on a Friday, weekend or at month-end, when demand is highest. One to three weeks’ notice is typical for flat removals, but we often accommodate shorter notice depending on our schedule. Early booking gives you more choice of timeslots and allows us to carry out a proper survey if needed. If your date is not yet fixed, we can discuss options and pencil you in, then confirm once contracts or tenancy dates are finalised.

Same day Removals

Same day Removals Teddington by Man and Van Teddington

When you need to move today, you need a removals team that is organised, responsive and properly equipped. Man and Van Teddington provides fast, reliable same day removals across Teddington and the surrounding areas, backed by fully insured, trained professionals who move quickly without cutting corners.

What Our Same day Removals Service Includes

Our same day service is a full, professional removals solution – not just a van turning up at short notice. Depending on your needs and time constraints, we can provide:

• Same day home removals – flats, houses, shared accommodation
• Same day office and commercial moves – small offices, shops, studios
• Emergency clear-outs – short-notice tenancy changes and landlord requirements
• Student moves – halls to home, or between rented properties
• Single item or part-load moves – sofas, wardrobes, appliances and more

Every job is planned by an experienced removals professional who understands what can realistically be achieved in the time available, so you’re not over-promised and let down.

Local Same day Removals Expertise in Teddington

Operating from Teddington, we know the local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. That local knowledge is crucial for same day removals, where delays cost you time and stress.

We regularly work in and around:

• Teddington high street apartments and riverside properties
• Period houses and mews properties with tight access
• New-build blocks and gated developments with management rules
• Local business premises, offices and retail units

Because we understand local access issues, loading bays and parking rules, we can plan realistic arrival times and avoid unnecessary delays on the day.

Who Our Same day Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if your completion date changes at the last minute or a removals firm lets you down. We can step in to move essential items, undertake a full move where feasible, or provide staged moves over today and the following days.

Renters

Perfect for those facing sudden notice, tenancy changes, or needing to vacate a property quickly. We handle flats and houses of all sizes, carefully moving your belongings while working around landlord or agent timelines.

Landlords and Letting Agents

We assist with urgent move-outs, tenant changeovers and partial clearances. Our team can remove furniture and contents swiftly while respecting property condition and building rules, helping you prepare for new tenants without delay.

Businesses

From small offices to local shops, we provide same day office and commercial removals when a fast turnaround is essential – whether due to lease changes, flood or fire impact, or unexpected operational needs.

Students

We help students move in or out of halls and shared houses at short notice. Our team can handle heavy items, multiple stops and awkward staircases, so you can focus on your course and deadlines instead of transport.

What We Can and Cannot Move on the Same day

Items Typically Included

• Household furniture: beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• White goods and appliances: fridges, freezers, washing machines
• Boxes, bags and storage crates
• Office furniture, IT equipment and stock
• Student belongings and personal items
• Garden furniture and small outdoor items

Items Usually Excluded or by Prior Agreement

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Unpacked loose glass or very fragile items without proper protection
• Heavy machinery or items requiring specialist lifting equipment
• Live animals and perishable food in bulk
• High-value artwork, jewellery or cash (special arrangements possible)

If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll advise you clearly during the enquiry stage so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Same day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quick Quote

Contact us by phone or online and let us know it’s urgent. We’ll ask key questions about addresses, access, volume of items and timings. For same day moves, we prioritise clarity and speed, giving you an honest indication of availability and a clear, written quote as quickly as possible.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger moves, we’ll carry out a brief virtual survey via video call, or a rapid onsite visit where time permits. This helps us allocate the right-sized van, number of movers, and plan any parking or access challenges – essential for smooth same day removals.

3. Packing & Preparation

Where possible, we ask customers to have items packed and ready. However, we can provide same day packing assistance for priority rooms or fragile items. We bring professional-grade boxes, tape, and protective materials such as blankets and covers to keep your belongings safe.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team load systematically, protecting furniture with blankets, straps and padding. We work efficiently but carefully, ensuring loads are secure for transit. Our vehicles are maintained to a high standard and suitable for both local Teddington moves and longer trips where required.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify, not just the doorway. We can assemble basic furniture we have dismantled and position key items such as beds, sofas and desks so you can function straight away in your new space.

Transparent Same day Removals Pricing

Same day moves are naturally more time-sensitive, but our pricing remains clear and fair. We typically work on:

• A set hourly rate for smaller or local moves
• A fixed price for clearly defined, larger moves where possible

Your quote will explain:

• How many movers and vehicles are included
• What time window we’re committing to
• Any extra services (packing, materials, furniture disassembly)
• How overtime or extended waiting times are handled, if applicable

There are no hidden extras – all charges and potential variables are explained before you confirm the booking.

Why Use Professional Same day Removals Instead of DIY?

When time is tight, attempting a DIY move or using a casual, unvetted van can quickly become risky and expensive. With Man and Van Teddington you benefit from:

• Professional planning – realistic scheduling and capacity assessment
• Proper protection – blankets, covers and securing straps as standard
• Experienced handling – avoiding damage to furniture and property
• Fully insured cover – for both your belongings and the premises
• Trained teams – used to stairs, tight corners and fragile items

By contrast, self-hire or informal help can leave you dealing with injury risk, damage with no recourse, and vehicles that are not correctly loaded or insured.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. Every same day removals job is covered by:

• Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they’re in our vehicles
• Public liability cover – for accidental damage to property or third parties during the move
• Trained moving teams – staff who follow safe lifting, loading and driving practices

We work to professional standards for inventory, handling and vehicle loading, and will explain exactly what is and isn’t covered so you can make informed decisions about any additional cover you might wish to arrange.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Speed does not mean carelessness. We protect your belongings as we would our own, using furniture blankets, mattress covers and floor protection where appropriate. Our team takes particular care with staircases, communal areas and narrow hallways to avoid scuffs and scrapes.

We also aim to work responsibly:

• Reusing sturdy boxes and materials where safe and hygienic
• Encouraging recycling of packing materials after the move
• Planning routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage

Real-World Same day Removals Use Cases

Moving House at Short Notice

Completion dates can change suddenly, or another removals company may cancel. We step in to move essentials on the same day, and if needed, schedule follow-up trips to finish the move in a controlled manner.

Urgent Office Relocation

Lease changes, building issues or urgent expansion can force a rapid move. We relocate desks, chairs, files and IT equipment quickly, helping minimise disruption to your trading or service hours.

Emergency Tenancy Change

Landlords and tenants sometimes face urgent deadlines to clear a property. We provide a structured, documented removal so that everyone involved knows what has been taken, where it has gone, and when the property will be clear.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do same day removals in Teddington cost?

Costs depend mainly on the volume of items, access at each property, the size of the team required and how far we’re travelling. For smaller local moves, we usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Larger or more complex jobs may be priced as a fixed quote once we understand what’s involved. Same day work can be slightly higher than pre-booked moves due to scheduling pressures, but we always explain rates clearly before you confirm, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate genuine emergencies, but availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of your move. For smaller flat or student moves, we can often help on the same day, especially if you’re flexible with timing. Larger house or office moves may require staged work – essentials today, with remaining items on the next available slot. The earlier in the day you contact us, the more options we’re likely to have. We’ll always be honest about what’s realistically achievable.

Are my belongings insured during a same day move?

Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability insurance for accidental damage to buildings or third parties. As with any policy, there are limits and exclusions – for example, certain high-value items or owner-packed fragile goods. We’ll outline these clearly when you book so you can decide whether you need additional cover from your own insurer. Our team works carefully to minimise the chance of any claim being needed in the first place.

What’s included in your same day removals service?

Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading, safe transport and unloading into your new property. We provide protective blankets and securing straps as standard, and can include basic furniture dismantling and reassembly if agreed in advance. Packing assistance, packing materials and specialist handling (for pianos or very large items) can be added where time allows. Your quote will clearly list what is and isn’t included, so there’s no confusion on the day of the move.

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

A casual man-and-van may be fine for a single item, but a professional removals service offers far more structure and protection. We bring trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper packing and securing materials, and a clear process from quote to completion. We assess access, plan loading, protect furniture and property, and provide written documentation for your records. For same day removals, that level of organisation is crucial to avoid delays, damage and disputes – especially when you’re already under time pressure.

How far in advance should I book, and can I still try on the same day?

For peace of mind, it’s best to book as soon as you know your moving date, even if it’s provisional. However, we understand that life isn’t always that neat. If you find yourself needing to move at very short notice, contact us as early in the day as possible. We’ll check our schedule, suggest realistic options, and if we can’t take the full job today, we may still be able to help with essentials or provide a next-morning slot. We always aim for practical, honest solutions.

Man with Van

Man with Van Teddington – Professional Local Moving Help

At Man and Van Teddington we provide a reliable, well-organised man with van service across Teddington and the surrounding areas. Run by experienced movers, not casual labour, our focus is on careful handling, efficient planning and clear communication from first enquiry to final placement of your items.

What Our Man with Van Service Includes

Our service is designed for anything from a single bulky item to a full flat or small house move. Unlike a basic van hire, you get an experienced, trained driver-mover, optional extra porters, and a properly equipped vehicle with blankets, straps and tools.

Typical man with van jobs in Teddington include:

• Flat and small house moves
• Student moves to and from halls or shared houses
• Part loads and single items (sofas, wardrobes, white goods)
• Small office relocations and internal office moves
• Furniture collections from shops, storage or marketplace purchases
• Short-notice and urgent moves where speed and flexibility matter

Every job comes with a professional mover, proper protection for your belongings and clear pricing agreed in advance.

Local Expertise in Teddington

Based in the area, we know Teddington’s roads, parking restrictions and building layouts well. That local knowledge helps us plan access, avoid congestion hotspots and choose the right vehicle for narrow streets or tight entrances. We regularly move customers around:

• Teddington High Street and surrounding residential roads
• Riverside and conservation areas with limited parking
• Flats above shops and properties with awkward staircases
• Nearby areas such as Hampton, Twickenham and Kingston

This local familiarity means fewer delays and smoother moves, especially where loading times or permits are limited.

Who Our Man with Van Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal for smaller property moves, downsizing, moving items into storage or transporting new furniture. We can handle fragile pieces, garden equipment and boxed contents with care.

Renters

Perfect for flat and house moves where you need an affordable yet fully insured service. We’re used to dealing with check-out times, lift bookings and tight stairwells.

Landlords

We help landlords clear and move furniture between properties, remove old items before new tenants move in, and transport appliances to and from storage or suppliers.

Businesses

For smaller offices, shops and studios we offer a flexible man with van option to move desks, stock, equipment and files, including out-of-hours moves to minimise disruption.

Students

We regularly help students move between home, halls and shared houses. Our team can manage shared loads, small budgets and awkwardly timed key collections.

What We Can and Can’t Move

Items Typically Included

• Domestic furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, drawers
• Boxes, suitcases and personal belongings
• Electrical items – TVs, computers, hi-fi, small appliances
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines (subject to access)
• Office furniture, IT equipment and boxed files
• Bikes, sports equipment and non-hazardous tools

Items We Cannot Move

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Illegal goods of any kind
• Industrial machinery beyond van capacity or legal weight limits
• Unsecured loose animals (pets must travel separately and safely)
• Large pianos or specialist items without prior agreement

If you’re unsure about a specific item, ask when you enquire and we’ll advise whether we can move it or if a specialist is required.

Our Step-by-Step Man with Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with the addresses, an outline of what needs moving and your preferred date. We’ll ask a few practical questions about access, floors and any fragile items, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger moves, we may suggest a brief video call or onsite visit. This lets us assess parking, staircases, lifts and the volume of items so we can allocate the right size van and number of movers, avoiding surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items, or we can provide packing materials and assistance by arrangement. We recommend sturdy boxes, clearly labelled rooms and secure wrapping for fragile pieces. We’ll dismantle basic furniture where required and agreed in advance.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day we arrive on time, walk through the plan with you and protect key items with blankets and straps. Everything is loaded systematically to maximise space and minimise movement in transit. We then transport your belongings directly to the destination using efficient, safe routes.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new property, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing larger items where you want them. We’ll reassemble any furniture we dismantled as part of the agreed service and check you’re satisfied before we leave.

Transparent Pricing – How We Charge

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our man with van jobs are usually priced in one of two ways:

• Hourly rates – best for smaller, local moves with flexible scope
• Fixed quotes – ideal for defined moves where the volume and access are clear

Quotes take into account:

• Distance between properties
• Volume and type of items
• Number of movers required
• Access (floors, lifts, parking, walking distance)
• Any extra services such as packing or furniture assembly

There are no hidden charges: any potential additional costs (parking fees, congestion/ULEZ charges where relevant, out-of-hours rates) are discussed in advance.

Why Use a Professional Service Instead of DIY?

Hiring a van and asking friends can seem cheaper, but it often leads to delays, damage and unnecessary stress. A professional man with van service offers:

• Experienced, trained movers used to tight staircases and heavy items
• Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps, tools
• Planned loading to protect furniture and maximise space
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Reliable timings, so you can coordinate keys, cleaners and landlords

In many cases, using a professional service is more economical once you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work and the risk of damage or injury.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. As a fully insured operator we provide:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are in our vehicle, subject to policy terms
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained moving teams – staff who know how to lift safely, protect delicate items and work efficiently

We follow clear procedures for handling, loading and securing items, and we’re happy to explain how cover applies to your particular move.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care to protect both your belongings and your property. Floors and banisters are safeguarded where necessary, and furniture is wrapped or covered before leaving the property. Fragile items are secured so they cannot shift in transit.

We also aim to work in a more sustainable way where possible by:

• Reusing strong, clean boxes and materials where appropriate
• Offering collection of reusable packing materials after your move
• Planning routes to minimise unnecessary mileage
• Maintaining vehicles for efficiency and lower emissions

Real-World Ways Customers Use Our Service

Moving House or Flat

Many Teddington residents use our man with van service for full flat moves, partial house moves or shuttling items to storage while they renovate. We coordinate with your key times and work around lift bookings and building rules.

Office and Business Relocation

Smaller businesses often don’t need a full-scale removal crew. Our flexible service is ideal for moving a compact office, shifting surplus stock to storage or rearranging furniture during a refit, including evenings or weekends.

Urgent and Same-Day Moves

Last-minute tenancy changes, emergency repairs or sudden completion dates can require rapid action. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day man with van support to get you moved quickly yet safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man with van service in Teddington cost?

Costs vary depending on distance, volume, access and how many movers you need. Smaller local jobs are often charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger or more defined moves are priced as a fixed quote. To keep costs down, have your items packed and ready, secure parking where possible and give us accurate information about stairs and lifts. We’ll provide a clear price before you book so you know exactly what to expect.

Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?

Yes, where our schedule allows we can provide same-day or short-notice man with van services in Teddington and nearby areas. Urgent moves are common for last-minute tenancy changes, emergency repairs or unexpected completion dates. The more information you can give us when you call – addresses, key times, rough volume – the quicker we can confirm availability and a price. While we can’t guarantee every request, we’ll always be honest about what’s realistically achievable.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We operate with goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties. As with any policy, there are limits and exclusions, for example on certain high-value or restricted items. We’re happy to explain how the cover applies to your job and advise if anything might require additional protection or special handling. All moves are carried out by trained staff using proper protective equipment.

What’s included in your man with van removals service?

Our standard service includes a professional driver-mover, a suitable van equipped with blankets and straps, and careful loading, transport and unloading at the new property. We place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle or reassemble straightforward furniture by prior agreement. Packing materials, full packing services, disposal of unwanted items and out-of-hours moves can all be added as extras. When you enquire, we’ll confirm exactly what is and isn’t included so there are no surprises on the day.

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

A professional service offers more than just a van and a driver. You get trained staff, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover, proper equipment and a planned approach to loading and protection. Casual operators may be cheaper upfront but often lack insurance, experience and reliability. That can lead to breakages, delays or problems with your building management. With Man and Van Teddington you’re dealing with an established, accountable business that prioritises safety, communication and respect for your property.

How far in advance should I book?

For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, especially for weekends and month-end dates which fill quickly. That gives us time to schedule the right size vehicle and team, and to arrange any surveys or packing services if needed. If your dates are uncertain, we can hold a provisional slot and confirm nearer the time. For urgent or last-minute moves, it’s always worth calling: we’ll check our diary and do our best to fit you in if we have availability.

Man and a Van

Man and a Van Teddington

At Man and Van Teddington, our man and a van service is designed for moves that are too big for your car, but don’t require a full-scale removals fleet. You still get a professional, fully insured team, modern vehicle and careful handling of your belongings – just in a more flexible, cost-effective format.

What Our Man and a Van Service Includes

Our man and a van in Teddington is a streamlined removals option, ideal for smaller moves and transport jobs. You always get:

• A trained, uniformed driver-loader (additional porters available if needed)
• Clean, well-maintained Luton or panel van with securing straps and blankets
• Loading and unloading at both ends
• Short or longer-distance journeys starting or finishing in Teddington
• Clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras
• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings

This service sits between hiring a self-drive van and booking a full removals crew – giving you the flexibility of a smaller service with the reassurance of a professional removals company.

Local Expertise in Teddington and Surrounding Areas

We work in Teddington every day, so we understand the realities of moving here – from tight terraced streets and controlled parking zones to river-side properties and busy commuter routes.

• Familiar with Teddington High Street, Kingston Road, Hampton Road and surrounding residential streets
• Experience with flats above shops and period conversions with narrow staircases
• Advice on parking suspensions and safe loading spots
• Flexible options for early morning or evening moves to avoid traffic

Our local knowledge keeps your move efficient and reduces the stress on the day.

Who Our Man and a Van Service Is For

Homeowners

Perfect for partial house moves, moving large single items, or bridging the gap between sale and completion when you need short-term transport. Many homeowners use us for garage clearances, moving furniture to storage, or bringing new purchases home.

Renters

Ideal for 1–2 bedroom flats or studio moves in and around Teddington. We can usually complete a local flat move in a single van load, especially if you’re happy to help with lighter items to keep costs down.

Landlords

We regularly help landlords with furniture swaps between properties, end-of-tenancy clearances (non-waste), and delivering or collecting white goods and key furnishings.

Businesses

From small office moves to shop stock transfers, our man and a van service suits businesses that need reliable, short-notice transport. We can move boxed files, IT equipment, small desks and display units with proper care and handling.

Students

Students moving to or from Kingston, Richmond and surrounding areas rely on us to move belongings between halls, shared houses and home addresses. We keep it straightforward, affordable and efficient.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Commonly Included

• Domestic furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• Boxes, bags and suitcases
• TVs, audio equipment and small appliances
• Office furniture, chairs, filing cabinets and boxed paperwork
• Sports equipment, bicycles and hobby items
• Luggage and personal effects for students and sharers

Items Usually Excluded

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot carry:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Live animals
• Unboxed loose glass, unless specifically agreed and packed correctly
• Industrial machinery requiring special lifting equipment
• Waste for disposal (we are not a licensed waste carrier)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise in advance.

Our Step-by-Step Man and a Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your addresses, an outline of what needs moving and your preferred date. We’ll ask a few practical questions – floor levels, access, parking, any particularly heavy or fragile items – and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For straightforward small moves, a phone call and photos or a video walk-through are usually sufficient. For more complex jobs, we can arrange a short onsite visit in Teddington. This ensures we allocate the right van size, number of movers and time slot, reducing the risk of delays on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service if required. Either way, we recommend sturdy boxes, clear labelling and disassembling flat-pack furniture in advance where possible. We can supply packing materials and offer advice on how to prepare fragile or high-value items.

4. Loading & Transport

On the day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time, protects key items with blankets and straps, and loads the van methodically. Everything is secured for transport before we set off. We plan routes carefully to avoid unnecessary delays, especially during busy Teddington rush hours.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing larger pieces of furniture where you want them. You can check items off as they come in, so you know nothing has been left behind. Before we leave, we do a final walk-through with you to confirm you are satisfied with the placement.

Transparent Pricing

We keep our man and a van pricing straightforward. Most jobs are based on:

• Van size and number of movers (one man, or two-person team)
• Estimated time from arrival to completion
• Distance between properties
• Any additional services, such as packing or dismantling

We will confirm whether the job is priced hourly or at a fixed rate before you book. Parking charges, congestion fees and tolls (if any) are always discussed in advance, so there are no surprises.

Why Choose a Professional Man and Van Over DIY

Hiring a van and doing everything yourself may seem cheaper, but it often takes longer, carries more risk and can be physically demanding. With our professional man and a van service in Teddington, you get:

• Trained movers who know how to lift, protect and load properly
• Goods in transit insurance for peace of mind
• No need to drive a large, unfamiliar vehicle through busy streets
• Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and your property
• Faster, more organised loading and unloading

Compared with casual, unregulated man-and-van operators, we are a reputable removals company, fully accountable for our service standards.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and so is your peace of mind. That’s why we maintain:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are in our care
• Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property
• Trained moving teams who work to established handling and safety procedures

We follow clear protocols for lifting, stacking and securing loads to minimise the risk of damage. If anything does go wrong, you are dealing with an established, insured business, not a casual side job.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move as if it were our own belongings being transported. Vans are equipped with transit blankets, straps and dollies to protect furniture and reduce strain on our team. Where possible, we use reusable packing materials and avoid unnecessary plastic.

We also plan routes to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions, especially for multi-stop or repeat business jobs. When customers no longer need certain items, we can often suggest local charities or reuse options rather than everything going to waste.

Real-World Uses of Our Man and a Van Service

Moving House

Ideal for 1–2 bedroom properties, part moves, or bridging the gap between stages of a larger move. For example, you might use our man and a van to move non-essential items into storage before a main moving day.

Office Relocation

Smaller offices in Teddington can move cost-effectively with one van and a small team. We handle desks, chairs, boxed files and IT equipment with care, working outside normal office hours if needed to reduce disruption.

Urgent or Same-Day Moves

Life doesn’t always give much notice. Subject to availability, we can often help with urgent moves – for example, when a tenancy ends suddenly or a purchase needs to be collected the same day. Calling us as early as possible gives the best chance of securing a slot.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man and a van in Teddington cost?

Costs depend on the size of van, number of movers, time required and distance travelled. Smaller local moves with one mover are usually billed at an hourly rate with a minimum charge, while more involved jobs may be priced as a fixed quote. We’ll ask for a clear list of items, access details and dates, then give you an upfront price with any additional charges (such as parking or tolls) explained. There are no hidden extras and we’ll always discuss options to keep costs sensible.

Can you provide same-day or urgent man and van bookings?

Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or short-notice bookings in and around Teddington. Urgent moves are more likely to be possible mid-week and outside peak moving dates. The best approach is to call us as early in the day as you can, with a clear idea of what needs moving and from where to where. We’ll check van and crew availability, then confirm a time window. Even when we’re fully booked, we’re happy to suggest practical alternatives.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Our man and a van service includes goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded by our team. We also carry public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to third-party property. We’ll explain the key terms and any limits or exclusions when you book, and we always recommend that high-value or unusual items are highlighted in advance so we can confirm the right arrangements are in place.

What exactly is included in your man and a van service?

You get a vehicle of suitable size, a professional driver-loader (and extra porters if requested), all loading and unloading, standard protection for furniture with blankets and straps, and transport between agreed addresses. We can also provide packing materials and optional packing or dismantling services at additional cost. Parking, congestion or toll charges are either built into the quote or listed separately, but always discussed beforehand. Our aim is to provide a complete, reliable transport solution without you needing to hire and drive a van yourself.

What’s the difference between your service and a casual man-and-van?

Many informal man-and-van operators work without proper insurance, training or accountability. As an established removals company, we provide trained staff, fully insured vehicles, written confirmations and clear terms. Our teams follow safe lifting and loading practices, and your belongings are protected by goods in transit insurance. If something unexpected happens, you are dealing with a business that takes responsibility. In short, you get the flexibility of a man and a van, but with professional standards and back-up.

How far in advance should I book?

For the best choice of dates and times, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance. That said, we understand that smaller moves and student or rental changes often happen quickly, so we always try to accommodate short-notice requests. Once you know your moving date, contact us with the key details and we’ll propose available time slots. Your booking is confirmed once you accept our quote and, where applicable, pay a small deposit to secure the van and team.

How Our Teddington House Removals Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: current address, new address, property size, preferred dates and any access issues (stairs, lifts, restricted parking). Based on this information we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining what’s included and any optional extras, such as packing.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we carry out a short survey. This can be by video call or an in-person visit in Teddington. We assess volume, access, parking, fragile items, dismantling needs and any timing constraints. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, number of movers and time, so there are no surprises on moving day.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer flexible packing services to suit your budget and schedule:

• Full packing – we pack your entire home using quality materials.
• Part packing – we pack fragile or awkward items; you pack the rest.
• Self-packing – you pack; we advise on materials and labelling.

We can also dismantle and reassemble standard furniture as agreed in advance, and we’ll protect key items with padded covers and wraps.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional team arrives at the agreed time, introduces themselves and walks through the property with you. We protect doorways and key areas where needed, then load systematically, starting with bulky items and finishing with boxes and fragile pieces. Everything is secured properly in the van before we set off. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance during the journey.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property we unload room by room, following your labels and instructions. Furniture is placed where you want it, and anything we dismantled is reassembled as agreed. We aim to leave you with the major items in place so you can settle in quickly, removing our materials and any packaging we’ve supplied.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

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

• Volume of goods and number of rooms.
• Distance between properties.
• Access difficulty – stairs, lifts, long walks, parking restrictions.
• Services required – packing, dismantling/reassembly, extra protection.
• Timing – evenings, weekends or urgent/same-day moves.

We’ll explain exactly what’s included, and any potential additional costs will be discussed up-front. You’ll know what you are paying for and why, before you commit.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY?

Hiring a trained removals team is not just about convenience. Compared with DIY or a casual man-and-van, you benefit from:

• Correct lifting techniques to reduce risk of injury.
• Protection for furniture, doors, floors and stairways.
• Appropriate equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps, covers.
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
• Reliable timings – a team that turns up as agreed and stays until the job is done.
• Less stress for you, your family or your staff.

Many customers in Teddington start by considering a self-move but soon realise the time, effort and risk involved. Our role is to make moving day manageable, organised and as calm as possible.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. Man and Van Teddington operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they’re in our vehicles.
• Public liability insurance for work in and around your properties.
• Trained moving teams who are experienced in handling fragile and bulky items.

We follow sensible, industry-standard practices for packing, lifting and loading, and we keep clear records of each move. If you need confirmation of insurance for your building management or employer, we can provide documentation in advance.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Protecting your belongings and your property is central to how we work. We use padded furniture covers, blankets, shrink wrap and floor protection where needed. Fragile items are packed and stacked carefully, with clear labelling for easy identification.

We also aim to work responsibly. Wherever possible we re-use and recycle packing materials, and we can collect used boxes from local moves for re-use, subject to condition. If you are decluttering before a move, we can help direct items for donation, recycling or responsible disposal, rather than everything going to landfill.

Real-World Use Cases in Teddington

Family Moves

From three-bedroom houses near Bushy Park to riverside flats, we regularly help families manage chain-completion moves with tight deadlines. We coordinate timings with your keys handover and work around school runs where needed.

Flat and Student Moves

We handle smaller moves in and out of flats, studios and shared houses, often with tricky staircases and limited parking. For students and young professionals, we can combine collection from multiple addresses into one move to save time and cost.

Home Office and Small Business Relocations

More people now work from home in Teddington. We move home office setups, archive boxes and IT equipment with care, so you can get back up and running quickly. For small businesses, we can schedule moves outside your trading hours to minimise disruption.

Urgent and Same-Day Removals

Occasionally moves are needed at short notice – completion dates change, tenancy dates move or urgent clearances arise. Where we have availability, we offer same-day or next-day options, structuring the job realistically so it can be completed safely and properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Teddington cost?

The cost of a house removal in Teddington depends mainly on the volume of your belongings, the distance between properties, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any extra services like packing or furniture assembly. Smaller flat moves may be charged on an hourly rate, while larger house moves are typically quoted as a fixed price. Once we’ve completed a quick survey, we’ll provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what to budget for before you book.

Can you do same-day or urgent house removals?

Yes, where our schedule allows, we can accommodate same-day or urgent removals in Teddington and nearby areas. Availability will depend on crew and vehicle capacity on the day, as we never overbook or rush moves at the expense of safety. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible with key details. We’ll quickly assess what’s realistic, suggest a practical plan and give you a clear price before confirming the booking.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care and vehicles, and we also hold public liability insurance for work at your properties. Insurance is designed to cover unforeseen issues, but it does rely on accurate information and reasonable packing. We’ll explain any limits or exclusions clearly, and if you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss additional cover or special handling in advance of your moving day.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard service includes loading all agreed items, safe transport from your old property to your new one, and unloading into the rooms you specify. We protect furniture and key areas as needed, and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward items if this is agreed in advance. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of boxes and materials, and help with furniture layout. We’ll set out exactly what is and isn’t included in your written quote so everything is clear.

What’s the difference between your removals service and a basic man-and-van?

A basic man-and-van is usually just vehicle and labour on a simple time basis, with limited support, planning or protection. Our Teddington house removals service includes a pre-move survey, clear quotation, trained staff, insurance cover, proper equipment and structured loading and unloading. We take responsibility for planning the move, managing access, protecting your belongings and keeping to an agreed schedule. This is particularly important for larger homes, chain moves or properties with difficult access.

How far in advance should I book my house removal?

Ideally, book as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you’re moving at month-end, during school holidays or on a Friday, when demand is highest. Many Teddington customers confirm their booking one to four weeks in advance. That said, we understand that dates can change, so we build in a degree of flexibility. Even if your move is short notice, it’s still worth contacting us – if we have a suitable slot, we’ll do our best to help.
