What We Can Move – and What We Can’t

Items Typically Included

We can safely move most household items, including:

• Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs, cupboards
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected)
• Boxes of personal items, clothing, books and kitchenware
• Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment
• Artwork, mirrors and ornaments (with suitable packing)
• Garden furniture, tools and outdoor equipment

Items We Usually Cannot Move

For safety, legal or insurance reasons, there are certain items we normally cannot transport:

• Flammable or hazardous materials (e.g. petrol, gas cylinders, solvents)
• Live animals or pets
• Perishable or frozen food for long-distance moves
• Illegal items or substances
• High-value items such as cash, jewellery or important documents (we recommend you carry these personally)

If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll clarify during your survey so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Home Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or through our website with basic details of your move: current and new addresses, property size, and preferred dates. We’ll discuss your requirements, advise on options and provide an initial estimate. For straightforward moves we can often give a firm quote at this stage.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most moves in Hammersmith we arrange a short survey, either via video call or an onsite visit. This lets us assess access, parking, stairs or lifts, and the volume of items to be moved. It also gives you a chance to ask questions. After the survey you’ll receive a clear written quotation with a breakdown of what’s included.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the day before or the morning of your move (depending on the service booked) our team will arrive with all necessary materials: boxes, tape, wrapping paper, bubble wrap and furniture covers. We offer:

• Full packing – we pack your entire property
• Fragile-only packing – for items such as glassware, pictures and ornaments
• Supply of packing materials if you prefer to pack yourself

4. Loading & Transport

Furniture is protected with removals blankets, mattress and sofa covers. Items are loaded in a safe, structured order to prevent movement in transit. Our professional drivers choose the most suitable route from Hammersmith to your new home, allowing for traffic and access times, and keep you informed of progress.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. If agreed, we’ll reassemble beds and other dismantled furniture. Before leaving, we’ll carry out a final check with you to ensure everything is where it should be and that you’re happy with the placement.

Transparent Pricing for Home Removals

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

• Property size and volume of belongings
• Distance between addresses
• Access, parking and any special handling requirements
• Level of service – from transport only to full packing and unpacking

All charges are explained upfront in writing. If your requirements change before moving day, we’ll update the quote and confirm any difference in cost in advance.

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

Using a professional removals company like Hammersmith Removals offers several advantages over hiring a casual man-and-van or doing it yourself:

• Trained staff who know how to lift, carry and pack safely
• Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, covers and straps
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Efficient planning that saves time and reduces disruption
• Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and to the properties

DIY moves often take longer than expected, involve multiple trips and can lead to injuries or accidental damage. A structured, insured service gives you peace of mind and allows you to focus on everything else involved in moving home.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We provide appropriate protection through:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are being transported
• Public liability insurance for work in and around your properties
• Trained, experienced teams following safe working practices

We work to recognised industry standards and take the time to assess risks on each move, from protecting stair banisters to safely handling heavy or awkward items.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every item as if it were our own. On each move we:

• Use clean furniture blankets, mattress and sofa covers
• Protect floors and carpets where needed
• Wrap fragile items carefully to reduce the risk of breakage

We also aim to work as sustainably as practical. Wherever possible, we reuse strong cartons, minimise waste and plan routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage. If you’d like to return boxes after your move, we can often collect and reuse them, reducing environmental impact.

Real-World Moving Scenarios We Handle

Moving House Within Hammersmith

Many of our customers move between local streets and neighbouring areas. We coordinate parking, protect both properties and keep disruption to neighbours to a minimum.

Office and Home Office Relocations

We help small businesses and home workers move desks, IT equipment and documents securely, often outside normal working hours to minimise downtime.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves are forced by unexpected changes in tenancies or completion dates. Where availability allows, we can arrange urgent moves and provide additional manpower to get you in quickly and safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do home removals in Hammersmith cost?

The cost of a home removal in Hammersmith depends on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, access at both addresses and the distance you’re moving. As a rough guide, a small flat move may be charged on a fixed price or half-day rate, while larger homes are usually priced on a full-day basis with an appropriate team size and vehicle. After a short survey we’ll give you a clear, written quotation so you know exactly what to budget for.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

Same-day or urgent moves are sometimes possible, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. If you’re facing an unexpected move or a last-minute change of date, contact us as soon as you can with your details. We’ll check vehicle and crew availability, then advise what level of service we can realistically provide. While we can’t guarantee emergency slots, we always try to offer practical solutions, even if that means a part-move or phased approach to get you in safely.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they’re being moved, along with public liability insurance for work at both properties. During your quote we’ll outline the key terms, limits and any exclusions so you know exactly what’s covered. Although our teams work carefully to prevent damage, insurance gives an extra layer of protection. We still recommend that you move irreplaceable documents, cash and jewellery yourself, as these items are generally better kept under your direct control.

What’s included in your home removals service?

Our standard removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture and boxes between addresses, with basic protection of items and properties as standard. We can add packing, dismantling and reassembly, provision of boxes and materials, and move planning support if required. All inclusions will be confirmed in your written quote, so you understand exactly what we’ll do on the day. If you have specific needs – such as moving a piano or handling restricted access – we’ll address these during the survey and build them into the service.

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

A casual man-and-van can be suitable for very small, low-risk moves, but there are important differences. We provide trained crews, purpose-built removals vehicles, full protective equipment and appropriate insurance cover. We also plan the move properly, assess access and risks, and offer written quotations and confirmed bookings. This reduces the chance of delays, damage or last-minute cancellations. For most home moves, especially where there is a full household of furniture and personal items, a structured, professional removals service offers better value and far greater peace of mind.

How far in advance should I book my move?

Ideally, you should book your 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. For many customers in Hammersmith, this is around two to four weeks before completion. However, we understand that dates can change, so we try to be flexible where possible. If your move is sooner, still get in touch – we’ll check availability and do our best to accommodate you or suggest suitable alternatives.
