- Arrange parking suspensions and loading bays where required
- Plan access in mansion blocks and period conversions
- Schedule moves to avoid the worst of local traffic
- Protect communal areas, lifts and stairwells to keep building managers happy

Who Our Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you’re upsizing to a family home or downsizing from a long-term property, we manage the whole process, including careful packing, furniture protection and secure transport.
Renters
From studio flats to large rentals, we’re used to tight staircases, top-floor walk-ups and strict check-out deadlines. We protect walls, doors and floors so you can hand the property back in good condition.
Landlords
We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, furniture moves between properties, and set-up of furnished lets, always with tidy, respectful teams who work quietly around other residents.
Businesses
Our business removals cover offices, shops and studios. We move IT equipment, filing, stock and office furniture with a clear labelling system so you can get back to work quickly.
Students
For students moving into or out of Pimlico, we offer affordable, compact moves with the same level of care as a full home removal – ideal for term-time and summer storage moves.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- All household furniture (beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs)
- White goods and appliances (fridges, freezers, washing machines – disconnected)
- Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothing and household items
- Office furniture, files, IT equipment and packaged stock
- Artwork, mirrors and fragile items (with appropriate packing)
Items Usually Excluded
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, we typically cannot transport:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, fireworks, chemicals)
- Open tins of paint, solvents or flammable liquids
- Live animals or pets
- Perishable or frozen food for long-distance moves
- High-value jewellery, cash, important documents (we recommend you carry these yourself)
If you’re unsure about a specific item, we’ll advise during your survey so there are no surprises on moving day.
How Our Removals Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with your addresses, preferred moving date and a rough idea of what needs moving. We’ll ask a few key questions about access, parking and any special items. From there, we provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most moves, we’ll carry out a survey. This can be a video call or an in-person visit in Pimlico. We record what needs to be moved, note any access challenges and discuss packing options. This allows us to allocate the right size vehicle, number of movers and equipment, and to give you a realistic timetable.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Full packing service – we supply all materials and pack everything
- Part packing – you pack most items; we handle fragile or complex items
- Self-pack – we deliver materials and you pack at your own pace
We use sturdy boxes, professional packing paper and bubble wrap, plus specialist covers for mattresses, sofas and TVs.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you, and starts by protecting floors and doorways. Furniture is wrapped or covered, boxes are loaded systematically, and the vehicle is packed for safe transit. Your goods are then transported directly to your new address, using the most efficient route.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload room by room. We’ll place furniture where you want it and stack boxes according to your labelling so you can find essentials quickly. If agreed, we also reassemble beds and large furniture. Before leaving, we check you’re happy with everything and do a final walk-through.
Transparent Pricing for Removals in Pimlico
Our pricing is based on:
- Volume of goods and size of property
- Access at both addresses (floors, lifts, distance to vehicle)
- Travel distance between properties
- Level of service – packing, dismantling, evening or weekend moves
You’ll receive a detailed quotation outlining what is included so you can budget with confidence. If your situation changes – extra items, date changes, storage needs – we’ll update the quote and talk you through any price differences before proceeding.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
While a DIY move or casual man-and-van might seem cheaper, it often comes with hidden risks: lack of insurance, poor packing, no protection for furniture, and unreliable timings. As a fully insured, established removals company, we offer:
- Planned, punctual moves with confirmed dates and times
- Trained staff who know how to lift, pack and protect safely
- Proper equipment – blankets, trolleys, straps and covers
- Clear communication before and during the move
The result is less stress, fewer breakages and a smoother moving day.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings and property are protected throughout your move with:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are on the vehicle
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to property
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff following proven procedures
We work to established industry standards for inventory, loading and handling. You’ll receive written terms so you know exactly where you stand and what is covered.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. That means careful wrapping, correct stacking, and thought given to fragile or sentimental items. We also aim to minimise waste and environmental impact by:
- Reusing strong, clean boxes wherever possible
- Offering box collection after your move for reuse
- Using recyclable packing materials where practical
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
Our crews are trained not just to move things quickly, but to move them carefully.

We relocate offices across Pimlico and Central London, often out of hours to minimise downtime. Desks, filing, IT and kitchen areas are packed, labelled and reinstalled in line with your floor plan.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
When dates change unexpectedly or you need to move at short notice, we’ll do our best to accommodate you. If we can fit you in safely and properly, we will – without cutting corners on protection or standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals in Pimlico usually cost?
The cost depends mainly on how much you have to move, access at each property, the distance between addresses, and whether you need packing or dismantling services. A small flat move within Pimlico might be completed in half a day, while a larger family home could take a full day or more. After a survey, we provide a fixed quotation so you know the exact price before you book, with any optional extras clearly listed.
Can you do same-day or urgent removals?
We can often help with short-notice or urgent moves, particularly midweek, but availability depends on our schedule and the size of your move. If you need a same-day or very quick turnaround, contact us as early as possible with details of what needs moving and both addresses. We’ll let you know honestly what we can do, any limitations, and whether a partial move or staged approach might be more realistic for your timescale.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being transported, and public liability cover for added protection. Our quotation and terms explain the key details, including any limits and exclusions, so you know exactly what is and isn’t covered. For particularly high-value items, we may ask you to declare them in advance so we can confirm appropriate cover or discuss any special handling arrangements.
What is included in your removals service?
As standard, our removals service includes a trained crew, vehicle, protective blankets and covers, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We protect larger items and key access points such as doors and banisters. Optional extras include packing, unpacking, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply of packing materials. Everything that is included in your move will be listed clearly in your written quotation so there is no confusion on moving day.
How is a professional removals company different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service typically offers basic transport only, often without formal insurance, specialist packing, or trained staff. As a professional removals company, we provide planned moves, fully insured transport, trained teams, and the right equipment to protect your belongings and property. We carry out surveys in advance, confirm timings, and offer packing, dismantling and reassembly if required. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute problems that can easily arise with informal services.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
Ideally, book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you’re moving at the end of the month, on a Friday, or during busy periods. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal for most home moves, as it allows time for surveys, planning and arranging any parking suspensions in Pimlico. However, we regularly accommodate shorter notice where possible, so it is always worth contacting us even if your move is coming up quickly.
