Service · The daily work
House removals
in Bromley.
House removals are the daily work of the studio. Full-survey, full-pack or partial-pack, lorry-and-crew loads from Bromley and the wider SE London catchment to anywhere in the UK or onto a European route. House removals Bromley, Beckenham, Croydon, Lewisham — and home removals further out where the brief warrants the drive. The same crew load the lorry and unload it at the destination. A single fixed-figure written quote, no headline rate.
What is included
The standard scope, written down.
Survey, by photo or in person
A photo-and-inventory brief through the quote form covers most moves. Larger or unusual moves get an in-person visit from the partner who will run the job.
Packing materials in the agreed quantities
Boxes, paper, blankets, tape, wrap, mattress covers. Quantity agreed in the written quote so there is no surprise on the load morning.
Full pack, partial pack, or fragile-only
The customer chooses the scope. A full pack is the standard for international moves; partial-pack is the standard for local moves where the household packs the easy items.
Furniture disassembly and reassembly
Beds, wardrobes, dining tables — the crew bring the tools. Built-in features and period furniture get a separate note in the quote where they need it.
Lorry, fuel, transit, and the load window
The lorry is sized to the load, not the postcode. We bring the 18-tonne where the load justifies it and the 7.5-tonne where access is tight.
Goods-in-transit insurance
Standard cover for the whole journey. Higher cover is available on request for art, instruments, or single high-value pieces; the limits are stated in the written quote.
Unload, place, and walk-through
Rooms set up at the destination, boxes placed where the household wants them, beds reassembled, packaging removed where the customer prefers. A final walk-through closes the move.
Aftercare for the week after
The partner who quoted the job is reachable for any aftercare question for the week following the move. Most aftercare is unused; that is by design.
How a house removal runs
From the brief to the keys handed back.
The brief arrives through the quote form on this site or by email. We read it the morning it arrives and reply with the questions that need clarifying — destination address, access at both ends, parking realities, anything unusual in the load. For most moves the photos and the inventory are sufficient to write a quote; for larger or unusual moves we arrange an in-person survey at a time that suits the household. The partner who quotes the job is the partner who runs it.
The written quote is a single fixed figure that covers the inclusions listed above. There is no headline rate on the site because every house removal is genuinely different — a three-bedroom Beckenham semi to Tunbridge Wells is not the same job as a four-bedroom Bromley Edwardian to Devon, and a one-bedroom Lewisham flat to East London is not the same job as a Coulsdon family relocation to Madrid. The quote reflects the specifics rather than a postcode rate card. The number we send is the number you pay.
The deposit confirms the date. The load morning runs to a window agreed in advance — early enough to clear the load before the rush, late enough that the household has finished the last bits of personal packing. The crew arrive in branded uniform, the lorry parks on the street with any council permit suspension already in place, and the load runs to the agreed scope. Transit follows directly; the unload window at the destination is agreed at the booking stage. A final walk-through closes the move and the partner who quoted stays reachable for the week after.
For international moves the same process applies, with the customs paperwork handled by the studio at both ends. The routes hub covers the supported destinations; the France brief, Spain brief, and the other dedicated country pages explain the route shape and customs path for each.
Pricing and quotes
How the figure is arrived at.
Five things shape the quote: cubic metres of contents (estimated from the photos or measured on survey), distance and route, access at both ends (parking, lift, stairs, conservation-area restrictions), packing scope, and any storage we have agreed on either side. The written quote breaks the figure down where the breakdown is useful and presents it as a single number where it is not. A house removal in Beckenham within the catchment will quote differently from a Croydon-to-Lyon relocation; the line items reflect the specifics rather than the postcode.
Storage on either side of a move is available on a calendar-month basis and quoted separately so the customer can see the line item. Specialist packing — art, instruments, wine, single high-value pieces — is itemised. The standard scope is a full house move with the standard insurance; the variations are documented in writing.
