Items We Can and Cannot Move

What’s normally included

We routinely move most household items, including:

• Sofas, armchairs, beds, wardrobes and bedroom furniture
• Dining tables, chairs, sideboards and storage units
• Kitchen contents, boxed food, cookware and small appliances
• Washing machines, fridges, freezers and other white goods (disconnected)

• Garden furniture, barbecues (clean and empty) and outdoor items

Items we typically exclude

For safety, legal or insurance reasons, there are some things we usually cannot carry:

• Illegal goods or anything that breaches regulations
• Live animals or pets (these must travel with you or a specialist courier)
• Open containers of paint or liquids that can easily spill
• Very high-value items such as certain jewellery or collections without prior agreement

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you during the quotation or survey stage.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

We follow a clear, well-tested process so you always know what is happening and when.

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with the details of your move – current address, destination, property size, and preferred dates. We discuss what you need, including any packing, dismantling or storage. Based on this information we provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras. We are happy to explain how the price is calculated so you understand exactly what you are paying for.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most house moves, especially larger properties, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us accurately assess the volume of goods, access issues (stairs, parking, lifts) and any special items such as pianos or large wardrobes. A proper survey helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures we send the right size vehicle and team.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the days leading up to your move, we can provide a full packing service, a partial packing service (for fragile items only), or just deliver packing materials for you to self-pack. We use sturdy boxes, furniture blankets, export wrap and mattress covers to protect your belongings. We label boxes clearly by room so unloading at your new home is quicker and more organised.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time. Floors, doorways and banisters can be protected where needed. We then carefully dismantle agreed items, wrap furniture, and load the vehicle in a logical order. Everything is secured using straps and blankets to minimise movement in transit. We plan routes in advance to avoid low bridges and tight streets, and we operate clean, well-maintained vehicles suitable for removals work.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload room by room, placing boxes and furniture where you want them. We reassemble items we dismantled, such as beds and wardrobes, and check that key items are in the right place before we leave. We encourage you to walk through the property with us at the end so we can make any small adjustments straight away.

Transparent and Fair Pricing

We believe in clear, honest pricing. Our quotations are based on:

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Distance between properties
• Access at both addresses (stairs, lifts, parking distance)
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Additional services such as packing, dismantling or storage

Before you book, we explain exactly what is included in the price. If your requirements change, we update the quote so you are always aware of costs. There are no hidden weekend charges or surprise “fuel surcharges” added at the last moment.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional house removals company in Surrey offers several advantages over doing it yourself or relying on a casual man-with-a-van:

• Experience – we move households every day and know how to protect fragile items, navigate tight access and load efficiently.
• Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps, ramps and tools to handle heavy or awkward pieces safely.
• Time-saving – a trained team can complete in hours what might take you all day or longer.
• Reduced risk of damage – careful handling, correct lifting techniques and protected transport.
• Insurance-backed – your belongings are covered by our specific removals insurance, not just a standard van policy.

While a basic man-and-van can work for a single item, a full home move is usually smoother and safer with a professional, fully planned service.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously. Man with Van Surrey operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being moved in our vehicles
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property in the event of accidental damage
• Trained moving teams – staff who are instructed in safe lifting, packing and securing loads

We follow industry best practices for wrapping, loading and transporting your belongings. If you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss additional precautions and any specific documentation required.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We know your possessions are more than just objects; they are part of your home and your life. We:

• Use padded blankets, wraps and covers to protect surfaces and fabrics
• Apply floor and doorway protection where there is a risk of scuffing or dirt
• Secure loads correctly to reduce the risk of movement during transport

We also aim to work in a more sustainable way by reusing durable packing materials where appropriate, offering box collection after your move, and planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House in Surrey

Whether you are upgrading to a larger family home, downsizing, or relocating for work, we manage the entire removal so you can focus on the legal, financial and personal side of your move.

Office and Small Business Relocations

We support local businesses in Surrey with small office moves and staff relocations, moving furniture, files and IT equipment with minimal disruption to your operations.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes completion dates change or circumstances shift at the last minute. Where possible, we offer same-day or short-notice moves, subject to availability, and can scale the team up or down to meet your deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Surrey cost?

The cost depends mainly on how much you have to move, the distance between properties, and the level of service you choose. A small flat move locally can be relatively inexpensive, while a large family home with full packing, dismantling and reassembly will cost more. We price each job individually after discussing your needs and, where helpful, carrying out a survey. You will receive a clear written quote with all expected charges so you can budget with confidence.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, where our schedule allows, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves within Surrey and beyond. Urgent moves usually require a quick assessment over the phone, followed by a confirmation of the team size and timing we can offer. While we recommend booking in advance wherever possible, we understand that completion dates can change suddenly and we do our best to be flexible. Availability will vary depending on the day and season.

What insurance cover do you provide?

We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded by us, and public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or injury. These policies are specifically suited to removals work, which standard vehicle insurance does not usually cover. We are happy to explain the key terms of our cover before you book. If you have particularly high-value or unusual items, we can discuss whether any additional arrangements are advisable.

What is included in a standard removals service?

A standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, loading, transport and unloading of your belongings from your old property to your new one. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, secure items in the vehicle, and place boxes and furniture into the correct rooms at your destination. Optional extras such as packing, unpacking, dismantling and reassembly, or supply of packing materials can be added as needed. Everything included will be listed clearly on your written quotation.

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

A casual man-and-van is usually geared towards quick, simple jobs, often without specialist training, proper insurance or the equipment needed for full household moves. A professional removals service like ours provides a planned move, trained staff, appropriate insurance, protective materials and a clear contract. We survey complex moves in advance, send the right size team and vehicle, and take responsibility for your belongings from start to finish. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected problems on moving day.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

We recommend booking as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you are moving on a Friday, at the end of the month, or during peak summer periods. Ideally, two to four weeks’ notice gives us the best chance of offering your preferred time and any additional services such as packing. That said, we regularly accommodate moves with much shorter notice when our schedule allows, so it is always worth contacting us even if your date is very close.
