What’s Included in Our House Removals

We can handle almost everything you would reasonably expect in a home move, including:

• Furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, dining sets, bookcases and more
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected in advance)
• Personal belongings – clothes, books, toys, ornaments, documents
• Electronics – TVs, computers, audio systems and small devices
• Garage and shed items – tools, bikes, garden furniture, storage boxes

What’s Not Included or Needs Special Attention

For safety, insurance or legal reasons, some items are excluded or need prior discussion:

• Hazardous materials – fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners
• Live animals and pets (we recommend specialist pet transport)
• High-value items such as fine art, jewellery or large safes without prior agreement
• Professional disconnection of gas or hard-wired appliances

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will clarify this during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quotation

You can contact Man with Van Romford by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few key questions about your current property, the destination, access, approximate volume of belongings and your preferred move date. Based on this, we provide an initial estimate and discuss the level of service you require, from straightforward loading and transport to a full packing service.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most house removals, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an in-person visit in Romford and nearby areas. We assess the size and layout of the property, number of rooms, access points, parking, stairs or lifts, and any particularly heavy or fragile items. The survey allows us to plan the right vehicle size, team, equipment and time required, and to issue a clear, written quote.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – our team packs your home using quality boxes and packing materials, labelling everything clearly.
• Part packing – we pack fragile or bulky items, you handle the rest.
• Self-packing – you pack your own boxes; we supply materials on request.

On the day, we protect larger items with furniture blankets and wrapping, and we plan the loading order so essentials are easy to reach at the new property.

4. Loading & Transport

Our professional team arrives on time, talks you through the plan and begins loading systematically. We use trolleys, straps and lifting techniques that protect both your belongings and the property. Vans are loaded securely to prevent movement in transit. We then transport your goods directly to your new address, using routes that suit larger vehicles and local traffic in and around Romford.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. Furniture is placed where you want it, and boxes are set down in the appropriate rooms to make unpacking easier. We do a final walk-through with you before leaving to ensure nothing has been missed and that you are satisfied with the placement and condition of your belongings.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Romford

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote is based on:

• Property size and volume of belongings
• Distance between addresses
• Access and parking requirements
• Level of service – standard removal, packing service, or additional labour
• Any special items needing extra time or equipment

We provide a clear written quotation detailing what is included. If circumstances change before moving day, we simply update the quote in advance so you always know where you stand.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company is often more cost-effective and far less stressful than trying to do everything yourself or using a casual man-and-van. With Man with Van Romford you get:

• Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and protect items properly
• Correct equipment and vehicles designed for household moves
• Efficient planning that keeps the move on schedule
• Fully insured transport, which casual helpers often cannot provide
• Reduced risk of injury or damage to property

Instead of coordinating friends, hiring a van, buying materials and hoping nothing gets broken, you have one point of contact and a structured process managed by professionals.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible removals provider, we take protection and compliance seriously:

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or third parties while we are working.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in handling everything from fragile glassware to heavy appliances.

We operate clean, well-maintained vehicles and follow safe working practices to protect both your belongings and our team.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your possessions as if they were our own. Items are wrapped and protected using blankets, covers and, where necessary, additional padding. We take care to avoid marks on walls, doors and floors at both properties.

Where possible, we use reusable materials such as moving blankets and durable crates. We minimise waste by reusing cartons in good condition and recycling materials at the end of their life. Efficient route planning also helps reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use.

Real-World Use Cases for Our House Removals

• Standard home moves – families upsizing or downsizing within Romford or moving further afield.
• Office and home-office relocations – moving desks, IT equipment and files between home and workplace.
• Urgent or short-notice moves – when a sale completes quickly or a tenancy start date changes unexpectedly.
• Student term-time moves – smaller loads between home and university accommodation.
• Landlord and probate clearances – respectful clearance and removal of furniture and belongings.

Whatever your situation, we adapt our approach to suit your timeframe, access and priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Romford cost?

The cost of a house removal in Romford depends mainly on the size of your property, the volume of items, distance travelled and the level of service you choose. A small flat with good access will cost less than a large family home over multiple floors. Extras such as packing services or very heavy items can also affect the price. After a brief discussion and survey, we provide a clear, written quote so you know the total cost before you commit, with no hidden add-ons on the day.

Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?

Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate short-notice or urgent moves in and around Romford. Same-day moves are more likely to be possible for smaller properties or partial loads, but we will always do our best to find a solution, even if that means staggered collections or additional vehicles. Contact us as soon as you know your dates and we will confirm availability, realistic timings and any options to keep your move on track, even at short notice.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items while they are in our vehicles, along with public liability cover while we are working at your property. These policies are designed to give you peace of mind that you are dealing with a professional, responsible company. We will outline the key terms and any limits or exclusions when we issue your quote, and you are welcome to ask for clarification at any stage so you understand exactly how your belongings are protected.

What is included in your house removals service?

A standard house removals service includes loading your boxed belongings and furniture, transporting them safely to your new address, and unloading into the rooms you specify. We protect furniture with blankets, use appropriate moving equipment and place items where you want them. On request, we can add services such as full packing, part packing for fragile items, supply of boxes and materials, and furniture disassembly and reassembly for suitable items. Your written quote will list exactly what is included, so everything is clear.

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

A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport only, often without formal training, structured planning or proper insurance. Our house removals service is a fully managed move: we carry out a survey, plan vehicle size and staffing, bring protective materials, and use trained teams who know how to handle furniture, appliances and fragile items. We are also fully insured for goods in transit and public liability. The result is a safer, more efficient move with clear accountability and far less risk for you.

How far in advance should I book my house removal?

Ideally, you should book your house removal as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you are moving at busy times such as month-end or school holidays. Many customers confirm their booking 2–4 weeks in advance, which gives time for a survey, packing arrangements and parking plans. However, we understand that completion dates can change, so we aim to be flexible where possible. If your move is urgent, contact us and we will advise on the earliest available slot.
