Who Our House Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of Greenwich. We protect carpets, banisters and doors, coordinate with your completion times and work around access restrictions and parking suspensions.

Renters

Perfect for tenants moving between flats or house shares. We are used to tight staircases, lifts, parking bays and timed loading slots. We help you leave the property in good condition so you can focus on your check-out.

Landlords

We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy removals, part-clearances and furniture moves between properties. Flexible scheduling allows us to work between lets and alongside cleaners, decorators or inventory clerks.

Businesses

Local businesses in Greenwich use our office and commercial removals for moving desks, equipment and archives between offices or into storage. We plan for minimal disruption to your trading hours.

Students

Students at Greenwich and nearby universities benefit from cost-effective small moves between halls, shared houses and storage. We can combine multiple student moves on one run to keep prices sensible.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact Man with Van Greenwich by phone, email or online form with basic details: addresses, property type, approximate inventory and preferred move date. We ask clear, practical questions so we can provide an accurate, no-obligation quote. Our pricing is explained in plain language, with no hidden extras.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be a video call or an onsite visit in Greenwich and nearby areas. We assess access, parking, stairs, lifts, fragile items and volume of goods. This allows us to allocate the right size vehicle, team and equipment, and to flag any potential challenges in advance.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – our trained team packs your belongings using quality boxes and packing materials.
• Part packing service – we pack breakables and delicate items; you pack the rest.
• Self packing – you pack everything; we supply materials if required.

On moving day, we protect floors and key surfaces, dismantle agreed furniture and label items for the correct rooms at your new address.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained removals team loads your belongings methodically, securing everything in the vehicle with blankets, straps and protective covers. Heavy and bulky items are moved using trolleys and equipment to reduce risk of damage. Your goods are transported directly to your new property, unless storage or a split delivery has been arranged.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. We reassemble any items we dismantled and make sure you are satisfied with the layout before we leave. Our aim is to leave you as settled as possible on day one in your new home.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Greenwich

We price our removals based on a clear set of factors rather than guesswork:

• Volume of goods (number of rooms, quantity of furniture and boxes)
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to parking)
• Travel distance between addresses
• Level of service (self-packed, part-packed, or full packing)
• Any special handling requirements

We usually offer a fixed price for the agreed inventory and scope so you know exactly where you stand. Any possible additional charges (e.g. waiting time linked to key release, long carries beyond an agreed distance) are explained in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company is not just about convenience; it is about risk management, safety and efficiency. DIY moves often underestimate the time, physical effort and vehicle size required. This can lead to multiple trips, damaged belongings or even personal injury.

With Man with Van Greenwich you benefit from:

• Trained teams who know how to lift, carry and load safely
• Proper tools, trolleys and protective materials
• Suitable vehicles with internal fixings and blankets
• Fully insured cover if something does go wrong
• Detailed planning so the day runs to schedule

A casual man-and-van service may be cheaper on paper but often lacks surveys, paperwork, insurance and accountability. We combine competitive pricing with professional standards.

Insurance & Professional Standards

To protect you and your belongings, we maintain robust cover and working practices:

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to our terms and conditions.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property during the move.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are instructed in safe handling, packing and loading techniques.
• Written confirmations – booking details, agreed services and key terms set out clearly.

We operate to professional standards for punctuality, conduct and care. If issues arise, we deal with them promptly and fairly.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move with care, whether it is a small flat or a large house. We use mattress covers, sofa protectors, floor runners and furniture blankets to minimise risk of damage. Fragile items are wrapped and clearly marked, and we plan narrow access routes in older Greenwich buildings with extra caution.

Where possible, we reuse strong cartons, reduce single-use plastics and optimise routes to cut unnecessary mileage. If you no longer need certain items, we can help direct them to local recycling centres or charities rather than landfill.

Real-World House Removals Scenarios

Family Moving from Flat to House in Greenwich

A family moving from a third-floor flat in Greenwich to a terraced house in Blackheath needed careful planning for stairs and parking. Our survey allowed us to secure a suitable parking spot, allocate extra staff for the stairwork and complete the move in one day without damage or delays.

Office Relocation Within SE10

A small business relocating between two Greenwich offices used our office removals service. We moved workstations, files and IT equipment outside their core trading hours, so they remained operational with minimal downtime.

Urgent Move with Short Notice

When a renter needed to vacate their property at short notice, we arranged a same-week move. A virtual survey, clear inventory list and flexible scheduling allowed us to complete the removal on time so they could meet their handover deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Greenwich cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, access at both addresses, distance travelled and whether you choose a packing service. Smaller flat moves may be priced by the hour, while larger house moves are usually offered at a fixed price after a survey. We provide clear written quotes outlining what is included so you can compare like for like. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges, such as key-waiting time, are explained before you book.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

Same-day and urgent moves are sometimes possible, especially for smaller properties or part loads, but they depend on vehicle and crew availability. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as early as you can with full details so we can check our schedule. Even for urgent jobs, we still carry out a basic assessment to ensure the move is safe and properly resourced. Where we cannot help on your exact date, we will suggest the closest alternative options.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items while they are being transported in our vehicles, along with public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. As with any insurance, there are limits and exclusions, which we set out clearly in our terms. We recommend you highlight any particularly high-value or unusual items during the survey so we can confirm how they are covered. You should also keep important documents, cash and jewellery with you rather than sending them in the removals van.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, protective equipment (blankets, straps, covers), loading at your old property, transport to your new address and unloading into the rooms you choose. We can also dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture items by prior arrangement. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of boxes and materials, disposal of unwanted items and short or long-term storage. All inclusions and optional services are listed on your written quote so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.

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

A basic man-and-van is often just vehicle and labour, usually charged by the hour, with limited planning and sometimes no formal insurance or paperwork. Our professional removals service includes a structured survey, agreed inventory, fully insured transport, trained teams, protective materials and clear terms. This reduces the risk of damage, delays or unexpected costs. For very small moves, a simple man-and-van option may be appropriate, but for full house moves, most customers prefer the assurance and organisation of a dedicated removals company.

How far in advance should I book my move?

We recommend booking your removal as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you are completing on a property purchase. For busy periods such as the end of the month, Fridays and summer, two to four weeks’ notice is ideal. That said, we understand dates can change, so we build in some flexibility where possible. If your plans are uncertain, we can provide a provisional quote and hold a slot subject to confirmation. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer.
