• Live animals or perishable food

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with details of your move: addresses, access, list of key items and your preferred date. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote. Where possible we ask for photos or a brief inventory so we can give an accurate price and allocate the right size vehicle and team.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a short survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in North Sheen. We check access, parking, staircases, lifts and any large or awkward furniture. This helps us plan the right route, protection materials and number of movers, reducing the risk of delays on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

On moving day, or beforehand if arranged, our professional team protects your furniture using removal blankets, mattress and sofa covers, and where needed, shrink wrap or corner protectors. We can also disassemble furniture such as beds, wardrobes and tables to move them safely, then reassemble at your new address.

4. Loading & Transport

Your items are carefully carried out of the property, taking care with walls, floors and stairwells. We load methodically into the van, securing items to prevent movement in transit. All moves are covered by goods in transit insurance. Our drivers use the most suitable local routes in and around North Sheen to avoid unnecessary delays.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload and place each item in the room you specify. Reassembly of any previously dismantled furniture is completed, and we make sensible adjustments to layout where practical so that your space is usable from day one. Before leaving, we do a final check with you to ensure nothing has been missed.

Transparent Furniture Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing for our North Sheen furniture removals. Costs are usually based on the following factors:

• Volume and type of furniture to be moved
• Distance between addresses
• Number of movers required
• Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
• Additional services such as packing, wrapping or assembly

For smaller jobs, we may offer an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For larger moves, we typically provide a fixed-price quote so you know exactly what you will pay before we start. There are no hidden charges: any potential extras (such as congestion charges or extended waiting time) are explained in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Moving furniture yourself or with a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, but it often comes with hidden risks and costs. Our trained teams use correct lifting techniques, appropriate equipment and suitable vehicles to reduce the chance of damage or injury. We plan routes, handle parking and manage access issues that DIY movers might overlook.

With Man and Van North Sheen, your items are covered by insurance, and we take responsibility for safe handling throughout. Professional removals also save time – what might take you all day can often be completed in a focused, well-organised morning with our team.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously and work to recognised standards for domestic and commercial removals.

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your furniture while it is being transported.
• Public liability cover for peace of mind in case of accidental damage to property.
• Trained moving teams with practical experience moving large and delicate items in tight North Sheen properties.
• Well-maintained, purpose-equipped vehicles with securing straps, blankets and trolleys.

We operate with clear communication, punctual arrivals and a respectful approach to your home or business premises.

Care, Protection and Sustainable Working

Protecting your furniture and property is central to how we work. We use quality removal blankets, floor protectors where necessary, and appropriate covers for soft furnishings. Corners, glass and polished surfaces are given extra attention to minimise the risk of scuffs or scratches.

We also aim to work in a more sustainable way. Where possible we reuse durable packing materials, optimise route planning to cut unnecessary mileage and encourage the responsible reuse or recycling of unwanted furniture. If you have items to be disposed of, we can often advise on local reuse schemes or licensed waste options.

Real-World Furniture Removals Use Cases

Moving House in North Sheen

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating within the local area, we handle full household furniture moves. From terraced houses with tight access to modern apartments with lift restrictions, we plan around your specific property and schedule.

Office and Business Relocations

For businesses in North Sheen, we move desks, meeting tables, filing cabinets and storage units with minimal downtime. We can work outside normal office hours where needed to keep disruption to a minimum, ensuring workstations and key areas are ready for your staff.

Urgent or Same-Day Moves

Sometimes moves are last-minute – a tenancy ending unexpectedly, a buyer pushing for a quick completion, or a piece of furniture that needs to be out today. Where our schedule allows, we offer urgent or same-day furniture removals in and around North Sheen. Contact us as early as possible and we will let you know what is feasible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do furniture removals in North Sheen cost?

Costs depend on the volume and type of furniture, distance between properties, access and any extra services required, such as disassembly or packing. Smaller local jobs may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while larger home or office moves are often priced as a fixed quote. Once we have a clear idea of what needs moving and the locations involved, we provide a straightforward price with no hidden extras. Contact us with a brief inventory or photos for an accurate estimate.

Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?

Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent furniture removals in North Sheen, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. If your move is time-sensitive, call or message us as early as you can with details of what needs to be moved and both addresses. We’ll confirm availability, give you a clear price and time window, and advise on any preparations you can make to speed things up. While we can’t guarantee every short-notice request, we always do our best to help.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being transported in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability cover. This provides protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to your belongings or the properties we work in. We still handle every item with care to avoid any issues in the first place. If you have particularly high-value pieces, let us know in advance so we can confirm cover and consider any extra protection needed.

What is included in your furniture removals service?

Our standard service includes loading your furniture from the property, securing it in the van, transporting it to the new address and unloading it into the rooms you specify. We provide blankets and basic protection as standard. On request, we can also assist with disassembly and reassembly of larger items such as beds and wardrobes, and offer extra wrapping for delicate or high-gloss pieces. We do not usually pack small personal items or loose contents unless arranged beforehand, so these should be boxed up before we arrive.

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

While we operate efficient vans just like a man-and-van, our focus is on structured, professional removals. That means trained staff, insurance in place, planned routes, the right equipment and a clear process from quote to completion. A casual man-and-van may not have insurance, may work alone and might not be equipped to handle awkward or heavy furniture safely. With Man and Van North Sheen, you know who will turn up, what’s included and how your belongings will be protected throughout.

How far in advance should I book?

For typical home or office moves, booking 1–3 weeks in advance is ideal, especially if you need a specific date or time. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed and plan the right team and vehicle. Weekends and month-end dates in North Sheen can be particularly busy, so the earlier you contact us, the better the choice of slots. If your move is last-minute, still get in touch – we often have gaps or cancellations and may be able to fit you in.

Because we’re local, we can usually get to you quickly, often within hours, and adapt routes on the fly if traffic or roadworks change the plan.

Sudden completion date brought forward? Chain issues resolved at the last minute? We help homeowners in North Sheen move the same day, coordinating timings with your estate agent or solicitor where needed.

• Boxes and bags of personal belongings
• Office furniture and equipment – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, computers, printers

Our Step‑by‑Step Same Day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Call or message us as early as possible. We’ll take key details: addresses, property type, access, floors, volume of goods and any timing constraints. For same day moves, we provide a rapid, no‑obligation quote based on your information and our availability, explaining clearly what is and isn’t included.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For urgent moves, we usually conduct a quick virtual survey via video call or photos. Where feasible and necessary, we may visit in person, but for same day removals we prioritise speed while still ensuring we send the right number of movers and vehicle capacity.

3. Packing & Preparation

If you are already packed, we focus on protecting furniture and fragile items with blankets, wraps and covers. Where time allows, we can assist with same day packing, concentrating on breakables and awkward items. We’ll also plan the load order so essentials are accessible at the new property.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team loads your belongings carefully, using proper lifting techniques, securing items inside the vehicle and protecting doorways, bannisters and communal areas where needed. We then transport everything directly to your new address via the most efficient route.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We’ll assemble any agreed furniture and ensure key items such as beds, sofas and white goods are positioned safely so you can settle in straight away, even on a same day move.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same day removals in North Sheen are priced based on:

• Volume of goods / size of property
• Number of movers required
• Distance between addresses
• Access difficulty (stairs, lifts, long carries)
• Additional services such as packing or furniture assembly
• Timing – evenings, weekends and very late notice may carry a surcharge

We provide a clear, itemised cost before work starts, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. There are no hidden charges for fuel or standard insurance; any potential extras (for example, congestion or parking fees) are discussed in advance wherever possible.

Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY

In a rush, it can be tempting to hire a casual van or attempt the move yourself. However, for most people this becomes stressful, risky and often more expensive than expected. Choosing a professional removals company gives you:

• Trained moving teams who know how to lift, protect and stack safely
• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they’re being moved
• Proper equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and tools
• Reduced risk of damage to furniture, walls, floors and communal areas
• Faster, more organised loading and unloading

With Man and Van North Sheen, you get the responsiveness of a man‑and‑van service combined with the standards of a professional removals company.

Insurance & Professional Standards

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

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they’re being moved
• Public liability cover for accidental damage to third‑party property
• Trained moving teams experienced in handling furniture, appliances and fragile goods

We follow best practice for manual handling, vehicle loading and property protection, and we treat every move – even on a tight deadline – with the same level of care as a planned relocation.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Same day doesn’t mean careless. We use protective blankets, shrink‑wrap and, where suitable, reusable covers to keep your items safe and reduce waste. We aim to minimise single‑use plastics and encourage the re‑use of strong boxes where practical.

Our teams work efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage and idling time, and we plan routes intelligently around North Sheen to reduce both travel time and environmental impact.

Real‑World Uses for Same Day Removals in North Sheen

• Moving house at short notice – when completion dates change or you must vacate unexpectedly.
• Office relocation – urgent moves to new premises, temporary offices or co‑working spaces.
• End of tenancy moves – avoiding extra rent by leaving a property the same day.
• Landlord clearances – removing left‑behind furniture or belongings between tenancies.
• Student moves – quick relocations around term dates, placements or accommodation changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do same day removals in North Sheen cost?

The cost of same day removals depends on how much you’re moving, the distance between properties, access, and how many movers are needed. As a guide, small local moves can often be completed on an hourly rate, while larger properties may be quoted as a fixed price. There may be surcharges for evenings, weekends or very late bookings. We’ll ask a few questions, provide a clear quotation before starting and explain exactly what is included, so you can make an informed decision without any surprises.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate genuine same day and urgent requests in North Sheen, and often can, especially on weekdays. However, availability depends on existing bookings, vehicle capacity and staff levels on the day. The earlier you contact us, the more likely we are to secure a suitable time slot. If we are fully booked, we’ll be honest about this and may suggest alternative times, part‑load options or a split move if that helps you meet critical deadlines.

Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?

Yes. Your items are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles. In addition, our public liability cover provides protection in case of accidental damage to third‑party property. We will outline the main terms and any key exclusions when you book. For very high‑value or unusual items, we may recommend additional cover or specific handling arrangements, which we’ll discuss frankly so you know exactly where you stand.

What’s included in your same day removals service?

Our same day service includes a suitable vehicle, a team of professional movers, protective blankets and securing equipment, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We’ll place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture if agreed in advance. Packing, packaging materials and complex disconnections (for example, gas appliances) are not automatically included, but can often be added subject to time and availability. All inclusions and exclusions are confirmed in writing before the move goes ahead.

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

A casual man‑and‑van may provide transport, but not always the training, insurance or equipment you’d expect for a safe move. With Man and Van North Sheen you get a professional team: planned loading, proper protection for furniture and property, goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. We also offer clearer pricing and written confirmation of your booking. This is especially important for same day moves, where you have less margin for delays, no‑shows or damage caused by inexperience.

How far in advance should I book a same day removal?

For a same day move, contact us as early in the day as possible – ideally first thing in the morning. This gives us the best chance of allocating the right vehicle and team and planning around other bookings. For non‑urgent moves, we recommend booking at least a week ahead, but we understand that isn’t always realistic. Even if it’s already midday and you need to be out by evening, get in touch; we’ll tell you honestly what we can do and when.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

It starts with a brief conversation by phone or email. You tell us where you’re moving from and to, your preferred dates, property size and any special requirements. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining what’s included so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit. We assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and the volume of items to be moved. This allows us to allocate the right size vehicle, team and time for your move, reducing the risk of over-runs or extra costs on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – We pack everything professionally, supplying boxes, tape and packing materials.
• Part packing service – We pack fragile or awkward items; you pack the rest.
• Self-pack – You pack your belongings; we supply materials if required and handle the move.

We can also offer dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, by prior agreement.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and protects your property with floor coverings and furniture blankets where necessary. Items are loaded systematically and secured using straps and padding. Our vehicles are equipped for safe transport, and we take the most suitable route based on traffic and access to your new property.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new home, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. Boxes are stacked sensibly so you can unpack easily, and we reassemble any pre-agreed furniture. Before we leave, we’ll check you’re happy with the placement and that nothing is missing or damaged.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will usually take into account:

• Property size and estimated volume of goods.
• Distance between addresses.
• Access issues (stairs only, long carries, restricted parking).
• Level of service – full packing, part packing or transport-only.
• Additional services such as storage or furniture assembly.

All costs are explained in advance, and any possible additional charges (such as waiting time or parking fines if permits aren’t available) are discussed before you book, so there are no surprises.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY?

Hiring a professional removals team in North Sheen can save you time, stress and ultimately money. With DIY or casual man-and-van options, you may face:

• Insufficient vehicle space, leading to multiple trips.
• Lack of insurance for your belongings.
• Poor packing or lifting techniques, causing damage or injury.
• Unreliable timings and last-minute cancellations.

With Man and Van North Sheen, you get trained movers, proper equipment, planned schedules and full goods in transit cover. This reduces risk, protects your possessions and helps your move run to plan.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We protect them by operating to recognised standards and carrying appropriate insurance:

• Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your items while they are being moved.
• Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties.
• Trained moving teams – Staff are trained in lifting techniques, packing, loading and handling fragile items.

We’re always happy to explain what is and isn’t covered and can provide proof of insurance on request.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care of your move and the environment:

• Use of high-quality blankets, straps and protective covers to minimise any risk of damage.
• Careful planning to reduce unnecessary trips and fuel consumption.
• Reusable crates and ethically sourced packing materials where possible.
• Considerate driving and route planning to minimise noise and disruption for your neighbours.

Our goal is a move that’s not only smooth and safe, but also as efficient and sustainable as reasonably possible.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House Within North Sheen

Many of our customers are upsizing or downsizing within North Sheen or nearby areas. We can handle the whole process, from packing the day before to completing the move as soon as you collect the keys.

Relocations Across London and the UK

If you’re leaving North Sheen for another part of London or elsewhere in the UK, we provide the same careful planning and fully insured transport, coordinating timings with estate agents, landlords and building management where needed.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves happen quickly – a change of tenancy date, a sudden completion, or an unexpected situation. Subject to availability, we can often offer same-day or next-day support, prioritising safety and care even on tight schedules.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in North Sheen cost?

The cost of a house removal in North Sheen depends on several factors: the size of your property, the volume of belongings, the distance between addresses, access issues and whether you need packing or dismantling services. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger house moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. We’ll discuss your requirements in detail and provide a clear written quote before you book, so you know exactly what is included and can budget with confidence.

Can you help with same-day or urgent moves?

Yes, we can often assist with same-day or urgent moves in North Sheen, depending on vehicle and team availability. If you’re facing a last-minute completion, a rapid tenancy changeover or an unexpected situation, contact us as soon as possible with your details. We’ll let you know what options we have, give an honest view of what’s achievable in the timeframe, and prioritise essential items if time is limited. Even on urgent jobs, we maintain safe loading practices and proper protection for your belongings.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care, as well as public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. This is a key difference between using a professional removals company and an unregulated man-and-van service. We can explain the scope and limits of our policy, including any exclusions or conditions, before you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we’ll discuss the best way to protect them and whether additional cover is advisable.

What’s included in a typical house removals service?

A typical house removal with Man and Van North Sheen includes a pre-move assessment, allocation of the appropriate vehicle and team, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We place items into the rooms you specify and can provide packing, unpacking and furniture dismantling/reassembly if requested. Your quote will set out exactly what is included, such as number of movers, estimated duration and any optional extras, so you have a full picture of the service before moving day.

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

A basic man-and-van service typically offers transport only, often without formal insurance, training or detailed planning. Our house removals service is structured and fully managed: we carry out surveys, plan routes and access, use proper packing and lifting techniques, and provide trained teams with the right equipment. We also operate under clear terms and conditions and are accountable for the safe handling of your belongings. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute cancellations, giving you much more peace of mind.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

Ideally, you should book your North Sheen removal as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you’re moving on a Friday or at month-end, when demand is highest. Many customers confirm their booking 2–4 weeks in advance. That said, we understand dates can change, particularly with property purchases, so we aim to be as flexible as possible. Even if your timeline is short, contact us and we’ll do our best to accommodate you within our schedule.

You can pack your own belongings, or choose our packing service if you are short of time. We can provide sturdy boxes, tape and packing paper in advance. On moving day, our trained team will wrap delicate items and protect furniture with blankets and covers.

4. Loading & Transport

Our crew arrives on time, introduces themselves and walks through the move with you. We systematically load your belongings, securing everything properly in the van to prevent movement in transit. We then transport your items directly to your new address, locally in North Sheen or further afield.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify. Beds and basic furniture can be reassembled if agreed in advance. We do a final walk-through with you to confirm everything is in place before we leave.

Transparent, Fair Pricing for Students

We know budgets matter. Our student removals in North Sheen are priced clearly, with no hidden extras. Typical pricing is based on:

• Volume of belongings and number of rooms
• Distance between addresses
• Access challenges (stairs, long carries, parking)
• Optional services such as packing or dismantling

We can offer fixed-price quotes for clearly defined moves, or an hourly rate for smaller or flexible jobs. You will always know the rate and what is included before you book.

Why Choose Professional Student Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company for your student move may cost less than you think, especially when you factor in time, effort and potential damage. With Man and Van North Sheen you get:

• Professional handling of fragile tech, instruments and valuables
• Safe lifting technique, reducing the risk of injury
• Appropriate equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps and covers
• Fully insured transport of your belongings
• Reliable timings, helping with key handovers and check-in slots

DIY moves with borrowed cars or casual helpers often take longer, involve multiple trips and can lead to broken items or landlord disputes. We help you avoid those headaches.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a local removals company serving North Sheen, we take our responsibilities seriously. All work is carried out by trained movers and backed by appropriate insurance:

• Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property or injury.
• Well-maintained, clean vehicles suitable for removals work.
• Documented procedures for handling, loading and securing items.

We treat student belongings – from laptops to course notes – with the same level of care as a full house move.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take a careful, responsible approach to every student move:

• Furniture and large items are wrapped with protective blankets.
• Mattresses and soft furnishings can be covered on request.
• Boxes are stacked to protect fragile items and avoid crushing.
• We aim to reuse durable packing materials where possible.
• Routes are planned efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage.

Our aim is to protect both your belongings and the environment, using sensible practices rather than wasteful one-use materials wherever we can.

Local Expertise in North Sheen

Being based in North Sheen means we know the area well – from residential streets and parking restrictions to student hotspots and nearby campuses. This local knowledge allows us to plan around peak traffic, permit zones and awkward access, making your move smoother and quicker.

We regularly help students moving to and from shared houses, halls and flats around North Sheen and nearby areas, and we are happy to coordinate with parents or landlords where needed.

Real-World Student Removal Use Cases

• Moving into halls – One van, packed with your essentials, delivered and unloaded within your arrival slot.
• Changing house share – Quick, same-day moves between local addresses, minimising disruption.
• End-of-year clear-out – Transport of belongings home or to storage, plus removal of unwanted furniture by prior arrangement.
• Graduate relocation – Moving from student accommodation to a new flat or city to start work.
• Urgent moves – Last-minute changes of accommodation, subject to availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a student removal in North Sheen cost?

Costs depend on how much you are moving, the distance involved, and any extra services such as packing or dismantling furniture. Smaller student moves within North Sheen are often charged on an hourly basis, while larger or longer-distance moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Once we know your addresses, dates and a rough inventory, we provide a clear price with no hidden extras. We always aim to keep our student removals affordable while maintaining a professional, reliable service.

Can you do same-day or urgent student moves?

Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent student removals in North Sheen, depending on availability. If your plans have changed suddenly or a tenancy has ended earlier than expected, call us as soon as you can. We will check our schedule and let you know what options are available, including part-day slots or evening moves. While advance booking is preferable, we understand that student life is unpredictable and we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, as well as public liability cover. This provides reassurance in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. Our team is trained in safe handling, wrapping and loading techniques to minimise the risk of damage. We will explain what is covered and any limits or exclusions when you book, and you are welcome to ask for clarification on specific high-value items.

What’s included in your student removals service?

Our standard service includes loading your belongings at your current address, transporting them to your new accommodation, and unloading into the rooms you specify. We supply protective blankets and securing straps as standard. Optional extras include packing services, provision of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and additional stops (for example, collecting items from a parent’s home or storage). Everything included will be listed clearly in your quote, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.

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

With a professional removals company like Man and Van North Sheen, you get trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper equipment and a structured process. Casual man-and-van services may be cheaper on paper but often lack insurance, written terms and consistent standards. We plan your move, protect your belongings, and turn up at the agreed time with the right vehicle and team. For students, this means less risk of broken items, missed check-in slots or disputes with landlords over damage in shared areas.

How far in advance should I book my student move?

For peak times – especially the start and end of university terms – we recommend booking your student removal in North Sheen at least two to three weeks in advance. This gives you the best choice of dates and times. Outside of peak periods, a week’s notice is often sufficient, and we sometimes have short-notice availability. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil in a provisional booking and confirm nearer the time. It is always worth getting in touch, even if your move is imminent.

Flat Removals

Flat Removals North Sheen – Man and Van North Sheen

Moving out of a flat in North Sheen comes with its own challenges – tight stairwells, parking restrictions, lift bookings and neighbours to consider. At Man and Van North Sheen, we specialise in flat removals, providing a careful, efficient service that keeps your move straightforward and stress-free.

As a local, owner-managed removals company, we offer a reliable, personally overseen service with trained staff, well-maintained vehicles and full goods in transit and public liability insurance. Whether you’re moving a studio, a top-floor maisonette or a large apartment, we handle the heavy lifting and logistics so you don’t have to.

Local Flat Removals Expertise in North Sheen

North Sheen has its own quirks: controlled parking zones, busy school-run times, narrow residential streets and flats with limited lift access. Because we work in North Sheen every week, we understand how to plan around these challenges.

• Advising on parking suspensions where needed
• Timing moves to avoid peak congestion
• Protecting communal areas to keep neighbours and management companies happy
• Careful manoeuvring of furniture in tight stairwells and corridors

Our local knowledge means we can give realistic time estimates, practical advice and a move that runs to plan rather than guesswork.

Who Our Flat Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If you own a flat or maisonette in North Sheen and you’re upgrading, downsizing or relocating, we provide a full, structured service to protect your belongings and your property. We can coordinate with estate agents, concierge or building management to ensure smooth access on moving day.

Renters

For tenants coming to the end of a tenancy, timing is crucial. We work around inventory check-outs, cleaning slots and key handovers, helping you leave the flat in good order. We use floor protection and careful handling so you avoid unnecessary deductions from your deposit.

Landlords

Landlords and letting agents use our flat removals service for end-of-tenancy clearances, part-furnished moves and reconfiguration of furniture between properties. We can remove unwanted items, relocate furniture sets and ensure the flat is left ready for new tenants.

Businesses

We support businesses relocating staff into or out of North Sheen apartments, as well as small offices operating from flats. From desks and IT equipment to stock and files, we handle items discreetly and securely, with clear labelling to ensure everything arrives in the right place.

Students

Students moving into or out of shared flats or halls will find our service ideal for smaller loads. We can combine single-room moves with shared flat removals, keeping costs reasonable while still providing a professional, insured service.

What’s Included in Our Flat Removals Service

Items Commonly Moved

Our flat removals in North Sheen typically include:

• Beds, wardrobes and bedroom furniture
• Sofas, armchairs, coffee tables and TV units
• Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
• White goods (fridges, freezers, washing machines, dryers)
• Televisions, audio systems and home electronics
• Boxes of clothing, books, ornaments and personal items
• Home office furniture and equipment
• Outdoor items from balconies or terraces where safe to access

What We Don’t Move

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or require special arrangements:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Illegal items of any kind
• Live animals and plants requiring special environmental control
• High-value jewellery, cash and important documents (we recommend you carry these personally)
• Large pianos and specialist equipment without prior agreement

If you’re unsure about a particular item, simply ask when you enquire. We’ll clarify what’s possible and whether any extra protection or preparation is required.

Our Flat Removals Process – Step by Step

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: current flat address, destination, size of property, access details (floors, lift, parking) and preferred moving date. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information given, outlining what’s included so you can compare like-for-like with other providers.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most flat moves, we carry out a short video call or phone-based survey. For larger or more complex flats – for example, awkward access or very valuable items – we can arrange an onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, lift size, and the volume of goods so we allocate the right vehicle and team.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer both full packing and part packing options. You can pack your own boxes, or we can supply professional packing materials and do it for you. Furniture is protected with blankets and, where suitable, dismantled for safer transport. Mattresses, TVs and fragile items receive extra protection to minimise the risk of damage.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional team arrives at the agreed time, protects floors and communal areas where necessary, and loads your belongings systematically. Items are secured in the vehicle using straps and protective padding. We then transport your goods directly to your new home or, if arranged, via storage.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled and place large items where you want them. Before leaving, we walk through with you to ensure everything is in the right place and that nothing has been missed.

Transparent Pricing for Flat Removals in North Sheen

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

• Size of your flat and volume of contents
• Access at both properties (floors, lifts, distances from vehicle)
• Distance between addresses
• Level of service – labour-only loading or full packing and removal
• Any special items requiring extra time or equipment

Your written quote will set out what is included, any optional extras and how long we expect the move to take. If your requirements change, we update the quote so you always know where you stand.

Why Choose Professional Flat Removals Instead of DIY

Moving yourself or hiring an untrained casual man-and-van can seem cheaper on paper, but often leads to extra cost, stress and risk. With Man and Van North Sheen you benefit from:

• Trained staff experienced in navigating flats and apartments
• Proper lifting techniques to minimise the risk of injury
• Professional packing and protection to reduce breakages
• Correct equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and tools for dismantling
• Clear timings and communication so you can coordinate keys, cleaners and check-in/check-out
• Full insurance cover, which informal operators often do not provide

When you factor in your time, potential damage, vehicle hire, fuel and the effort of carrying furniture up and down stairs, a professional, insured service usually represents far better overall value.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings and your building are fully protected during your move. Man and Van North Sheen operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being moved
• Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained moving teams – experienced staff, not casual labour collected on the day

We follow recognised industry best practices for packing, lifting and transport. Our vehicles are clean, regularly maintained and equipped specifically for removals work, giving you reassurance that your possessions are being handled professionally from start to finish.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Flats often have shared entrances, lifts and stairwells, and we take particular care to protect these communal areas. We use floor runners, corner protectors and careful handling techniques to avoid scuffs and damage. Furniture and appliances are wrapped or blanketed for transit, reducing the chance of marks or breakages.

We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible, we use reusable protective materials, encourage the reuse of boxes and can advise on responsible disposal or recycling of unwanted items. If you have furniture or goods you no longer need, we can help route them to local charities or recycling centres where appropriate.

Real-World Flat Removals Use Cases

Moving House Between Flats

Whether you’re moving from a studio to a larger flat, or from an upper-floor apartment into a house, we manage the full transition. We coordinate timings so your belongings arrive in line with key handover, and we can manage part-loads to or from storage if there is a gap between tenancies or completion dates.

Office or Home-Office Relocations

Many people now work from flats and apartments. We regularly move desks, filing cabinets, IT equipment and stock for home-based businesses. Everything is labelled clearly for easy setup at the new address, allowing you to get back to work quickly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves happen faster than planned – last-minute completion dates, tenancy issues or changes in personal circumstances. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day flat removals in North Sheen, prioritising safety and care while working to tight timescales.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a flat removal in North Sheen cost?

Costs depend mainly on the size of your flat, the volume of belongings, access and the distance between properties. A small studio move within North Sheen may be completed in a few hours with a smaller team, while a larger two- or three-bedroom flat with difficult access will take longer and require more staff. We provide itemised, fixed-price quotes wherever possible, so you know the full cost in advance. There are no hidden charges, and any potential extras are clearly explained before you book.

Can you handle same-day or urgent flat moves?

Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice flat removals in North Sheen, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. If you need to move urgently, call us as early as possible with details of your flat, access, and destination. We’ll quickly assess what’s required and confirm whether we can help. Even on urgent moves, we still use protective materials, follow safe lifting practices and maintain our usual standards, so your belongings are handled carefully despite the time pressure.

What insurance cover is included with your service?

Our service includes goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved, and public liability insurance to protect against accidental damage to property or third parties. This is built into our pricing, so there’s no unexpected surcharge for basic cover. For particularly high-value or fragile items, please let us know in advance so we can confirm appropriate arrangements. We’ll explain clearly what is covered, any limits that apply, and how to raise concerns if you believe something has been damaged during the move.

What’s typically included in a flat removals service?

A standard flat removals service includes loading your furniture, boxes and household items from your current flat, transporting them to your new address, and unloading into the rooms you specify. We protect large items with blankets and use equipment such as dollies and straps for safe handling. On request, we can also provide packing services, supply boxes and materials, and dismantle and reassemble basic furniture such as beds and wardrobes. Your written quote will outline exactly what is included so you can be confident about what to expect on moving day.

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

While some man-and-van operators offer simple transport, we provide a structured, fully professional removals service. That means trained teams, appropriate insurance, proper protective materials and a clear process from enquiry through to completion. We plan around access, parking, and building rules, not just the vehicle journey. Our focus is not simply moving items from A to B, but doing so safely, efficiently and with respect for your home and neighbours. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, which can be common with unregulated, casual services.

How far in advance should I book my flat removal?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your North Sheen flat removal at least 2–3 weeks in advance, especially if you’re moving at month-end or on a Friday, which are typically busier. However, we know that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change at short notice, so we build some flexibility into our schedule. If your move date is uncertain, we can pencil in a provisional slot and confirm once your plans are final. Always contact us as soon as you have a likely timeframe.

Man with Van

Man with Van North Sheen

At Man and Van North Sheen we provide a reliable, well organised man with van service for moves of all sizes in and around North Sheen. As a local, experienced removals professional, I run a small, hands-on team that treats every job with care – whether it is a single item across town or a full flat move across London.

What Our Man with Van Service Includes

Our service is built around flexibility and practicality. You get a spacious, well-maintained van, a trained driver-mover, and extra porters as needed. We handle:

• Small home moves – studios, one- and two-bed properties
• Student moves to and from halls or house shares
• Office and shop moves within North Sheen and across London
• Single items and part loads – sofas, beds, appliances, pallets
• Furniture collection and delivery from shops, auctions, storage
• Urgent and same-day moves, subject to availability

Every job includes protective blankets, straps, and careful loading so that your belongings travel securely.

Local Expertise in North Sheen

Working daily in North Sheen means we know the area’s streets, parking restrictions and building layouts very well. We understand the challenges of narrow roads, controlled parking zones and tight stairwells typical of local properties.

Because we are local, we can often offer short-notice slots, provide realistic arrival windows and help you plan around building access times, lift bookings and loading restrictions. This reduces stress on the day and keeps the move running smoothly.

Who Our Man with Van Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal for smaller house moves, downsizing, or moving some items into storage. We can supplement your own efforts, handling the heavier or more awkward items while you deal with boxes and personal belongings.

Renters

Whether you are moving between rented flats or houses, our man with van service offers a cost-effective alternative to a full-scale removal. We are used to working around inventory checks, key collection times and tight staircases.

Landlords

We regularly assist landlords with furniture removals, part-furnished setups and clearances of unwanted items before new tenants move in. We work tidily, with consideration for neighbouring properties and building rules.

Businesses

From small offices to local retailers, our commercial man with van option is suitable for moving desks, stock, display units and equipment. We can schedule out-of-hours work to minimise disruption for staff and customers.

Students

Students in North Sheen and surrounding areas use us for end-of-term moves, relocating between halls and shared houses, or moving belongings into storage. We keep things straightforward and budget-friendly, with clear pricing and no hidden extras.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Commonly Included

• Sofas, armchairs, tables, chairs and other household furniture

• Boxes, bags, suitcases and plastic crates
• Office furniture, IT equipment (securely packed), filing cabinets
• Sports equipment, bikes, hobby items and garden tools

Items Excluded or by Prior Agreement Only

• Hazardous materials – fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners
• Illegal items or anything not permitted by law
• Unsealed liquids that may leak in transit
• Very high-value items such as fine art or jewellery (special arrangements required)
• Large pianos or specialist machinery without prior survey
• Animals or live plants for long-distance moves

If you are unsure about a specific item, please mention it when you enquire so we can advise and, where possible, accommodate it safely.

Our Step-by-Step Man with Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few key questions: addresses, access details, number of floors, a rough list of items and your preferred date. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the likely duration, number of movers and any additional services required.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a quick video call or an onsite visit in North Sheen. This allows us to assess access, parking and the volume of belongings properly. Accurate surveys mean we allocate the right size van, the correct number of movers and enough time, preventing overruns on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can handle your own packing, or we can provide professional packing as an optional extra. Where we pack, we use strong cartons, wrapping paper, bubble wrap and tape. On all jobs we protect furniture with blankets, and we can dismantle simple items such as bed frames and tables if agreed in advance.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day we arrive on time, introduce the team and walk through the property with you. We then load systematically, securing items with straps and placing fragile pieces carefully. Our vehicles are clean, well maintained and insured for goods in transit. We drive sensibly, avoiding harsh braking and sharp manoeuvres that might disturb your belongings.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just drop them at the door. We place furniture where requested and reassemble any items we dismantled, where agreed. Before we leave we invite you to walk around and check you are satisfied that everything has been delivered and placed correctly.

Transparent Pricing for Man with Van in North Sheen

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our man with van service is typically charged on an hourly basis, with a minimum booking period depending on the size of van and number of movers you require.

Your quote will set out:

• The hourly rate and minimum charge
• How many movers are included
• Any travel time or congestion/parking charges, where applicable
• Optional extras such as packing materials or dismantling/reassembly

There are no hidden charges. If it looks like a job may exceed the estimated time, we discuss it with you early so you remain in control of costs.

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

Hiring friends or a casual driver can seem cheaper, but it often leads to damaged items, delays and strained relationships. With our professional service you benefit from trained movers, proper equipment and structured planning.

We know how to protect floors and walls, navigate tight corners and pack the van to avoid movement in transit. Our timings are realistic and we are accountable for the outcome of your move. In many cases, the efficiency of a professional team reduces the hours required compared with doing it yourself.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are on the vehicle, subject to standard terms
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property
• Trained moving teams – experienced staff who understand lifting techniques, packing methods and safe driving

We provide written confirmation of cover on request and are happy to talk through any specific concerns you may have about higher-value items.

Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability

We handle every job with care, protecting doors, bannisters and flooring where required. Furniture is wrapped in transit blankets, and mattresses can be covered with protective bags on request.

We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible we reuse sturdy packing materials, offer the option of reusable crates for local businesses and plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage. Where clients need unwanted items removed, we aim to separate reusable furniture or goods for donation or recycling instead of landfill wherever practical.

Real-World Use Cases for Our Man with Van Service

Moving House or Flat

Perfect for smaller moves in North Sheen – for example, a one-bed flat relocation where you need a couple of movers and a van for a morning or afternoon. We can work alongside you if you are doing some lifting yourself, or manage the whole process for you.

Office and Business Relocation

For local businesses, our man with van service is ideal for moving to new premises, reshuffling departments, or transporting stock between locations. We can work outside normal trading hours, label items clearly and coordinate with your IT or facilities teams.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up unexpectedly – last-minute tenancy changes, urgent store collections or time-sensitive deliveries. Being based in North Sheen allows us, where available, to respond quickly to short-notice and same-day requests, while still maintaining our professional standards of planning and care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man with van service in North Sheen cost?

Costs depend on the size of van, number of movers and the time required. Most jobs are priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For small flat moves or single items, this often works out more economical than a full removals service. When you contact us, we will ask a few questions about access and volume so we can give you a realistic estimate and highlight any extra costs such as parking, congestion charge or packing materials in advance.

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

Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent bookings in North Sheen, especially mid-week or outside peak times. Availability depends on our schedule and the size of job, so the sooner you contact us, the better. For urgent moves we keep the process simple: confirm details by phone or email, provide a clear estimate and agree a realistic arrival window. Even on short notice we still work methodically, ensuring your belongings are properly protected and transported safely.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Our vehicles carry goods in transit insurance, and we also hold public liability cover. This provides reassurance that your belongings are protected while they are in our care, subject to our standard terms and conditions. We do ask that you tell us about any particularly valuable or fragile items so we can make sure they are packed and handled appropriately. If you need specific written confirmation of cover for your records or building management, we can provide this on request.

What is included in your man with van service?

Our standard service includes a suitable van, a trained driver-mover, loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide blankets and straps as standard and can dismantle simple furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include additional movers, packing services, packing materials and help with reassembly at your new address. We will explain exactly what is and is not included on your quote so you know precisely what to expect on moving day and can plan any tasks you prefer to handle yourself.

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

Many casual man-and-van operators offer transport only, with limited equipment or insurance. Our service is run as a professional removals operation with trained staff, proper insurance, and a structured process from enquiry to completion. We plan access, protect your belongings, and provide clear communication throughout. In practice this means fewer breakages, fewer delays and a smoother experience overall. You still benefit from the flexibility and value of a man with van, but with the standards you would expect from an established removals company.

How far in advance should I book?

For weekends and month-end dates, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance, as these slots fill quickly. For mid-week moves or smaller jobs within North Sheen, we can often accommodate bookings with only a few days’ notice, and occasionally same-day. The earlier you contact us, the more choice of times you will have, and the easier it is to secure any building access or parking permits required. We always try to offer a practical solution, even at short notice.

Piano Removals

Piano Removals North Sheen

Moving a piano safely is a specialist job. At Man and Van North Sheen we provide dedicated piano removals across North Sheen and the surrounding areas, using the correct equipment, planning and techniques to move your instrument without damage to the casing, internal mechanism or property.

Specialist Piano Removals in North Sheen

We move pianos every week in North Sheen – from small uprights in flats to baby grands in period houses. As a local, professional removals company, we understand the challenges of narrow staircases, tight terraces and controlled parking zones, and we plan each move around the realities of the area.

Your piano is more than just furniture. It is a delicate, heavy instrument with complex engineering. Our trained teams use piano skates, protective covers, ramps and, where required, additional manpower to ensure a controlled, safe move from start to finish.

Who Our Piano Removal Service Is For

Our piano removals service in North Sheen is designed for:

• Homeowners moving house locally or further afield who need their upright or grand piano moved safely.
• Renters in flats and houses who must navigate stairs, lifts and tight corridors without damaging the property or deposit.
• Landlords needing pianos moved in or out of managed properties or repositioned between units.
• Businesses such as schools, music studios, churches, theatres and venues relocating or acquiring pianos.
• Students at music colleges or universities who require cost-effective but fully insured piano transport.

Whether you are moving home, rearranging rooms, buying or selling a piano, or need temporary relocation during renovation, we can tailor the service to your situation.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Included in Our Piano Removals Service

We can safely move:

• Upright pianos (all sizes)
• Digital pianos and stage pianos
• Baby grand and grand pianos (subject to access assessment)
• Piano stools and benches
• Associated small musical items (sheet music boxes, stands, pedals)

Items Excluded or by Prior Agreement

For clarity and safety, we normally exclude:

• Concert grands or very large instruments where specialist cranes are required (we can help arrange this with partners).
• Pianos with known structural damage or severe instability without prior inspection.
• Non-removal related items such as large safes, machinery or high-value art, unless booked as part of a wider removals service.

If you are unsure whether your item can be moved, please mention it during your enquiry and we will advise honestly.

Our Step-by-Step Piano Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: current address, destination address, piano type, floor levels, access notes and preferred date. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information given, including any parking or access considerations specific to North Sheen.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For many upright and digital pianos, a detailed phone or video survey is enough. For grand pianos or challenging access (basement flats, tight stairwells, multiple turns), we may recommend an onsite survey. This allows us to measure clearances, plan the route and confirm any special equipment or additional staff needed.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the day, our trained movers protect your instrument fully before any lifting begins. This typically includes:

• Wrapping the body in thick removal blankets and protective covers
• Securing lids and moving parts
• Removing detachable components on grands where appropriate
• Protecting floors, walls and doorways along the route

We take time at this stage; good preparation greatly reduces risk.

4. Loading & Transport

We use piano skates, dollies and tail-lift vehicles to keep the instrument level and secure. The piano is strapped carefully inside the van to prevent movement. Our vehicles are clean, well-maintained and covered by goods in transit insurance, so your piano is protected throughout the journey.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we reverse the process calmly and methodically. We position the piano exactly where you want it, making reasonable small adjustments to orientation and location. We will not tune the piano, but we will advise on letting it acclimatise before arranging tuning, especially after longer journeys or significant temperature changes.

Transparent Piano Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes for piano removals in North Sheen are based on:

• Type and size of piano (upright, digital, baby grand, grand)
• Distance between properties
• Floor levels and access complexity at each address
• Parking arrangements and any permit or congestion costs
• Number of movers and any specialist equipment required

Where possible, we offer a fixed price so you know the total cost before booking. There are no hidden call-out fees. If circumstances change (for example, extra floors or unexpected access issues), we discuss options with you before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional Piano Movers Over DIY

A piano can weigh anywhere from 150kg to well over 400kg. Attempting to move one yourself, or using an inexperienced casual man-and-van, risks:

• Back and lifting injuries
• Damage to the piano’s frame, soundboard or action
• Scratches and dents to floors, walls and doorframes
• Loss of tuning stability or internal misalignment

By using a professional, fully insured company like Man and Van North Sheen, you get the right equipment, correct lifting techniques, adequate manpower and proper insurance cover. That protects not only your piano, but also your property and everyone involved in the move.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your peace of mind matters. Our piano removals service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your piano while it is being transported in our vehicle.
• Public liability cover for any accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
• Trained moving teams who handle pianos regularly and understand both manual handling and the specifics of moving instruments.

We follow careful risk assessments on each job and work to industry best practice for safe lifting and loading. If something unexpected happens, you are properly protected.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every piano as if it were our own. Protection is our starting point: thick blankets, padded covers, floor runners and door protectors are used as standard. We also plan the shortest, safest routes in and out of both properties to minimise handling and risk.

Where possible we use reusable protective materials and optimise our routes around North Sheen and neighbouring areas to reduce unnecessary mileage. Well-maintained vehicles and efficient scheduling help us keep our environmental impact lower while still providing a reliable service.

Real-World Piano Removal Scenarios

Moving House with a Piano

For full home moves, we integrate the piano move into your wider removals plan. The piano is often loaded last and unloaded first, ensuring it is handled in a controlled, uncluttered environment. We coordinate with your timings, keys and parking arrangements in North Sheen.

Office, School and Studio Relocations

Businesses, schools and studios often work to tight schedules. We can move pianos outside normal hours where required, and can coordinate with building management, caretakers and facilities teams to manage access, lifts and loading bays.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves cannot wait – sales complete quickly, landlords require fast access, or you secure a piano at short notice. Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or next-day piano removals in and around North Sheen. Honest communication is key; if we can do it safely, we will.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a piano removal in North Sheen cost?

The cost depends mainly on the type of piano, the distance travelled and the access at each property. Upright and digital pianos are generally more straightforward and therefore cheaper than baby grands or grands, which may require more staff and time. Stairs, tight doorways and long carrying distances can also affect price. We will ask a few questions and, if needed, request photos or a short video to quote accurately. Once we have all details, we provide a clear, fixed price with no hidden extras.

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 North Sheen and nearby areas. Urgent moves depend on crew availability, vehicle space, parking and the complexity of the job. If you need a fast move, call us with full details as early as possible. We will be honest about what can be done safely within your timeframe and, if we cannot help, we will say so rather than compromise on standards or safety.

Is my piano insured during the move?

Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our vehicle and by our public liability cover for accidental damage to property during loading and unloading. Insurance is not a substitute for care, so we still plan every move carefully and use appropriate protection and equipment. We are happy to explain the scope of our cover in plain language before you book so you understand exactly how your instrument is protected.

What is included in your piano removals service?

Our standard service includes loading at the collection address, safe transport between properties, and careful unloading and placement at the destination. We provide protective covers, blankets, straps and the necessary moving equipment. We also handle basic dismantling for certain grands where appropriate, and reassembly to the same condition on arrival. Tuning is not included, as this is best done by a piano technician after the instrument has settled, but we can advise on when to arrange this.

How is a specialist piano removal different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van may be suitable for simple furniture, but pianos require extra care, equipment and experience. We use trained teams who move pianos regularly, carry specialist gear such as piano skates and proper protective covers, and operate under comprehensive insurance. We also plan routes, access and staffing carefully before the day. This greatly reduces the risk of injury and damage, and gives you a clear point of responsibility if something does go wrong.

How far in advance should I book a piano move?

For the best choice of dates, especially at busy times such as month-end and weekends, booking one to two weeks in advance is sensible. That said, we understand that completion dates and deliveries can change at short notice, so we always try to keep some flexibility in our schedule. If you have a fixed date, let us know as soon as possible and we will reserve a suitable time slot. Late bookings are welcome but will depend on availability.

Man and a Van

Man and a Van North Sheen

At Man and Van North Sheen, our man and a van service is run by experienced local movers who handle everything from small flat moves to full house and office relocations. We work across North Sheen and the surrounding areas, providing a reliable, carefully planned service tailored to your move, your belongings and your schedule.

Professional Man and a Van Service in North Sheen

Our man and a van service is a scaled, flexible version of a full removals team. You get a modern van, a trained mover (or movers) and all the equipment needed to move your items safely. Whether you are moving a few bulky pieces or the contents of a small property, we plan the job properly and protect your belongings every step of the way.

Because we are North Sheen based, we know the one-way systems, parking restrictions and the best times of day to move, helping to avoid delays and unnecessary stress. We regularly work with residents on Upper Richmond Road West, the surrounding residential streets and nearby developments, as well as local businesses and landlords.

Who Our Man and a Van Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal for smaller house moves, partial moves, or when you need help shifting large, awkward furniture. Many homeowners use our professional man and a van service for moving items into storage, clearing a garage, or delivering new furniture that won’t fit in a car.

Renters

Flats and rented properties in North Sheen often mean stairs, tight hallways and parking challenges. Our team handles this daily. We help renters move locally or across London, keeping disruption to neighbours and common areas to a minimum.

Landlords

Landlords and letting agents call us when they need fast, tidy removals of unwanted furniture, end-of-tenancy clear-outs, or staging items delivered or collected. We offer flexible slots and can coordinate with tenants or key holders.

Businesses

From small offices to local shops, our man and a van option is perfect for moving stock, office furniture, IT equipment or archive boxes. We can schedule moves outside trading hours and provide a discreet, efficient service to minimise downtime.

Students

Students moving to or from halls, house shares or family homes often don’t need a full removals crew, but still need fully insured, careful transport. We offer cost-effective solutions for suitcases, boxes, desks, beds and bikes, with options to share loads where practical.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

• Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• Electricals – TVs, computers, white goods (where safe and disconnected)
• Moving boxes and bags – books, clothes, kitchenware, personal effects
• Office items – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, printers and equipment
• Student belongings – suitcases, boxes, small furniture, bikes
• Garage and garden items – tools, outdoor furniture, non-motorised equipment

Items We Generally Exclude

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, our man and a van service does not usually transport:

• Hazardous materials – fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners
• Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
• Live animals or pets
• Unsecured high-value jewellery, cash or important documents
• Very large industrial machinery or items exceeding safe lifting limits

If you are unsure about a particular item, ask when you enquire and we will advise or suggest alternatives.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with a brief outline: what you are moving, from and to where, and your preferred date. We will ask a few clear questions to understand access, floors, parking and any fragile or heavy items. Based on this, we provide a transparent, no-obligation quote for the appropriate man and a van size and crew.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a simple one-room move, we recommend a quick survey. This can be done via video call, photos, or an onsite visit in North Sheen. The survey allows us to accurately assess volume, plan the right van, number of movers and time required, avoiding surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own belongings, or choose our packing service where we supply materials and carefully pack for you. Either way, we advise on suitable boxes, labelling and preparation (for example defrosting freezers, disconnecting appliances and dismantling certain furniture) so everything is ready for a smooth loading process.

4. Loading & Transport

On the day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and handles, and loads systematically. We use blankets, straps and trolleys to protect and secure your items inside the van. Once loaded, we take the most efficient route between addresses, factoring in North Sheen traffic patterns and any timing restrictions.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload and place items in the rooms you specify. Boxes are stacked sensibly, heavier items below lighter ones, and we reassemble any furniture we dismantled by prior agreement. Before we leave, we check you are happy with the placement and condition of your belongings.

Transparent Pricing – How Our Man and a Van Rates Work

We believe in clear, honest pricing. Our man and a van work is typically charged on an hourly or fixed-job basis, depending on the nature of the move. Rates are influenced by:

• Number of movers required
• Van size
• Distance between addresses
• Access issues (stairs, no lift, long walks from parking)
• Additional services such as packing or furniture dismantling

Before you book, you will receive a written breakdown explaining what is included, estimated time and any potential additional charges (for example congestion or parking fees), so you can budget confidently.

Why Choose Professional Man and a Van Over DIY

Hiring a cheap, casual van or trying to move everything with friends can seem economical, but it often leads to damage, injury and extra trips. Our professional man and a van service provides:

• Experienced handling of fragile, heavy and bulky items
• Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
• Efficient loading that maximises space and minimises trips
• Reduced risk of damage to property and belongings
• Clear accountability, insurance and paperwork

In most cases, using a reliable removals team is not only safer and less stressful, it can also be more cost-effective once you factor in time, fuel, parking and potential breakages.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a local removals company, we take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are in our care in the vehicle
• Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained moving teams who follow industry-standard lifting and handling techniques

We provide written confirmation of cover on request and work to agreed terms and conditions so you know exactly where you stand.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Protecting your belongings is central to how we operate. We use padded blankets, floor protection, mattress covers (where requested) and secure strapping. Fragile items are carefully positioned and separated from heavy objects.

We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:

• Reuse sturdy boxes and protective materials
• Offer collection of used boxes for re-use where practical
• Plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Maintain our vehicles for efficiency and lower emissions

Real-World Use Cases in and Around North Sheen

Moving House or Flat

Many local clients use our man and a van service for one and two-bedroom homes, or as an additional vehicle alongside a larger removals truck. It’s ideal when downsizing, splitting households, or moving between nearby addresses where flexibility is key.

Office Relocations

Small offices in North Sheen, Richmond and the surrounding areas rely on us to move desks, chairs, files and IT equipment with minimal disruption. We can stagger moves over several days or complete them in a single, well-coordinated session, including early mornings or evenings.

Urgent and Same-Day Moves

Sometimes plans change at short notice – a tenancy ends suddenly, a sale completes faster than expected, or you need rapid collection of a large purchase. Where we have availability, we offer same-day or next-day man and a van support, always with the same focus on care and professionalism.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man and a van in North Sheen cost?

Costs depend mainly on how long the move takes, how many movers you need and the size of van required. For smaller, straightforward moves within North Sheen, we usually recommend an hourly rate, with a minimum booking period. Larger or more complex moves may be priced as a fixed quote. Additional factors include parking, stairs, distance between addresses and any packing or dismantling work. We will always provide a clear written estimate in advance so you understand exactly what you are paying for.

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

Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent bookings in North Sheen, especially on weekdays outside peak moving dates. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job, so it is best to call us as early as possible. For urgent moves, we will give you an honest assessment of what we can achieve within the time available and may suggest prioritising essential items first, with a follow-up trip if required.

What insurance cover do you provide during the move?

All man and a van moves are backed by goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are in our vehicle, and public liability insurance, which covers accidental damage to third-party property or injury. There are standard limits and exclusions, which we will explain before you book. We ask that especially high-value or fragile items are pointed out in advance so we can assess how best to protect them and confirm the level of cover applicable.

What is included in your man and a van service?

Our service includes a modern, well-maintained van, at least one professional mover, protective blankets, straps and basic tools for simple dismantling where agreed. We load, transport and unload your belongings, placing items in the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and additional movers if needed. We will confirm exactly what is included in writing, along with any optional services and their costs, before you commit to a booking.

How is a professional man and a van different from a basic van hire?

With basic van hire, you are responsible for everything: driving, lifting, loading, securing items and any damage that occurs. Our professional man and a van service includes experienced movers who handle the heavy lifting, know how to protect your belongings and pack the van safely. You also benefit from our insurance, equipment and local knowledge of North Sheen. This significantly reduces the risk of injury, breakages and delays, and usually results in a much smoother, more efficient move.

How far in advance should I book?

For weekends and month-end dates, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance, as these are our busiest times. For mid-week or smaller local jobs, a few days’ notice is often sufficient. However, the earlier you contact us, the more choice of times and dates you will have, especially if you need packing services or have access restrictions to consider. We always try to accommodate last-minute moves in North Sheen where our schedule allows.
