Piano Removals
Piano Removals New Malden – Specialist Local Piano Movers
Moving a piano is very different from moving ordinary furniture. At Man and Van New Malden, our dedicated piano removals service combines the right equipment, trained movers and careful planning to move your instrument safely across New Malden and the surrounding areas.
Specialist Piano Removals in New Malden
Pianos are heavy, delicate and awkward to move. They contain finely balanced mechanisms, fragile finishes and, in many cases, great sentimental or financial value. Our team is trained in safe handling, stair work and manoeuvring in tight spaces, ensuring your piano is protected from start to finish.
We regularly handle:
- Upright and studio pianos
- Digital pianos and stage pianos
- Baby grand and grand pianos (with part dismantling where required)
- Pianolas and older or heirloom instruments
Every move is planned individually, with the layout of both properties, access routes and parking restrictions taken into account before we arrive.
Local Expertise in and around New Malden
Based in New Malden, we know the local roads, parking rules and typical property layouts extremely well. This local knowledge allows us to:
- Choose suitable arrival times to avoid school runs and peak congestion
- Plan for narrow terraced-house hallways and tight turns in flats
- Arrange parking suspensions where needed in advance
- Work efficiently in busy residential streets and high-rise blocks
Whether you are moving a piano within the same building, across New Malden, or to a nearby town, our local experience helps your move run smoothly and safely.
Who Our Piano Removal Service Is For
Our piano removals service is designed for:
- Homeowners upgrading, downsizing or rearranging rooms
- Renters moving between flats or house shares
- Landlords needing a piano moved in or out between tenancies
- Businesses such as schools, studios, theatres and churches
- Students at music colleges or universities relocating term-time
Whether the piano is in daily use, mainly decorative, or a treasured family piece, we treat every instrument with the same professional care.
What’s Included in Our Piano Removals Service
Items We Move
As part of a dedicated or combined move, we can safely handle:
- All types of upright pianos
- Baby grand and grand pianos
- Digital pianos, stands and stools
- Piano benches and music cabinets
- Associated items such as covers, lamps and metronomes
Items We Do Not Move as Part of Piano Removals
To keep everyone safe and comply with regulations, our piano service does not include:
- Hazardous materials (fuels, chemicals, gas cylinders)
- Live animals
- Perishable food items
- Heavy industrial machinery unrelated to the piano move
- Items fixed permanently to the building (unless pre-agreed)
If you need a full household or office move alongside your piano, we can combine services and advise clearly what is and is not included.
Our Step-by-Step Piano Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with basic details: piano type, current and destination addresses, floor levels, lifts or stairs, and any access issues. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining what is included and outlining any factors that may affect the final price.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most piano moves, we carry out a brief virtual survey using photos or video. For more complex jobs (tight staircases, multiple flights, or grand pianos), we may visit in person. This lets us check measurements, plan the route and confirm whether additional equipment or extra movers are required.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day, our team arrives with appropriate protection. We carefully wrap the piano using thick blankets and padding, protect key surfaces, and, where required, remove legs, lids or pedals on grands. Floors, bannisters and door frames are protected before we start moving the instrument.
4. Loading & Transport
Your piano is loaded with specialist trollies, skids and ramps, avoiding unnecessary lifting where possible. In the vehicle, it is securely strapped and braced to prevent movement in transit. Our fully insured vehicles are clean, well-maintained and fitted out for removals work.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload with the same care and place the piano exactly where you want it, subject to access. We reassemble any removed parts and complete a brief visual check with you. For acoustic pianos, we recommend allowing the instrument to settle for a couple of weeks before tuning.
Transparent Piano Removal Pricing
We believe in clear, honest pricing with no hidden extras. Our piano removal costs are based on:
- Type and size of piano (upright, baby grand, grand)
- Distance between addresses
- Floor levels, stairs, and access difficulty
- Parking arrangements and any permits required
- Whether the move is standalone or part of a larger removal
Your quote will set out what is included, any potential surcharges (for example, more than one extra flight of stairs) and how long we expect the job to take. We are happy to talk you through the quote so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why Choose Professional Piano Removals Over DIY
Attempting to move a piano yourself – or hiring a casual man-with-a-van without the right training – can easily lead to damage or injury. Pianos are extremely heavy but also fragile; incorrect lifting or strapping can break castors, damage the frame, or injure those involved.
With Man and Van New Malden you benefit from:
- Trained piano moving teams
- Specialist equipment and protective materials
- Goods in transit insurance for your peace of mind
- Planned routes that minimise risk
- Clear communication before, during and after the move
The cost of professional piano removals is usually far less than the cost of repairing a damaged instrument – or recovering from an avoidable injury.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. As a professional removals company, we maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your piano while it is in our care
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained and experienced staff, briefed on each specific job
We handle every piano as if it were our own, documenting any existing marks before the move and taking time to explain how we will protect the instrument and your property.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your piano and your property is our first priority. We use padded covers, heavy-duty blankets, corner protectors and floor runners to minimise the risk of scuffs or dents. Where necessary, we disassemble and reassemble grand pianos to reduce strain on the frame and legs.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we reuse durable protective materials, plan efficient routes to cut unnecessary mileage, and maintain our vehicles to reduce emissions. Our aim is to offer a careful, reliable service that is also responsible.
Real-World Piano Removal Scenarios We Handle
Moving House
We can move your piano as part of a full home removal or as a separate, focused job. Coordinating both together saves time and reduces handling, particularly if the piano is the heaviest or most awkward item in the property.
Office, School or Studio Relocations
From music rooms in schools to recording studios and performance spaces, we regularly relocate pianos for organisations across the area. We can work outside normal hours where necessary to minimise disruption.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes pianos need to be moved quickly – for example, during emergency repairs, water leaks or unexpected tenancy changes. Subject to availability, we can offer same-day or next-day services and will always be honest about what is realistically achievable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a piano removal cost?
The cost of a piano removal depends mainly on the type of piano, the distance travelled and how straightforward access is at each address. Upright moves with good ground-floor access are usually at the lower end of the scale, while grands, multiple flights of stairs or difficult access cost more due to extra labour and equipment. Once we know the details, we provide a clear, fixed quote wherever possible, so you know the price before you commit, with no hidden charges on the day.
Can you do same-day or urgent piano removals?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice piano removals in New Malden, especially for local moves with straightforward access. Availability will depend on our existing bookings and the complexity of your job. The quickest way to find out is to call us with your piano type, addresses and timing. If we cannot safely complete the move at the exact time requested, we will offer the nearest realistic alternative and explain what is involved so you can plan with confidence.
Is my piano insured during the move?
Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our vehicle and under our control, subject to standard terms and conditions. We also carry public liability cover for work at your property. We handle every instrument carefully to avoid any issues in the first place, using proper protection and lifting methods. If you have a particularly high-value instrument, let us know so we can confirm cover levels and any additional precautions we should take.
What is included in your piano removals service?
Our service includes planning the move, protecting the piano and key areas of your property, safe loading and unloading, secure transport and final placement in the new location. For grands and baby grands, basic dismantling and reassembly of legs and pedals is included where required. We supply all necessary blankets, straps and trollies. What is not included are tuning, repairs, and moving unrelated hazardous or prohibited items. If you need additional household or office items moved at the same time, we can combine services by agreement.
How is a professional piano removal different from a standard man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may not have the training, equipment or insurance needed for safe piano handling. Professional piano removals use specialist trollies, ramps and strapping, along with staff experienced in stair work and tight access. We plan the job in advance, protect the instrument and property, and provide fully insured transport. This greatly reduces the risk of injury or damage. While a standard man-and-van may be fine for boxes and small furniture, pianos really do benefit from a dedicated, professional approach.
How far in advance should I book a piano removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific day or are moving at busy times such as Fridays or month-end. That said, we understand that plans can change quickly, and we will always try to help with short-notice requests. The more information you can provide when you enquire, the easier it is for us to schedule the work safely and efficiently around our other commitments.
Man with Van
Man with Van New Malden
At Man and Van New Malden, our man with van service is designed for people who want the flexibility of a smaller move with the standards of a professional removals company. Whether you are moving a few items across New Malden or clearing a flat and heading across London, we provide a reliable, fully insured and carefully planned service.
What Our Man with Van Service Includes
Our man with van option is a scaled, flexible removals service, carried out by trained, uniformed staff using purpose-built vehicles. You get the same care and planning as a full house move, just tailored to smaller or lighter jobs.
Typical service variations
- Single-item moves – sofas, wardrobes, American fridge-freezers, pianos (by prior arrangement)

- Student moves – term-time, end-of-year and relocation moves
- Small office moves – desks, chairs, IT equipment and archives
- Store collections – IKEA, B&Q, Wickes and other retailers
- Part-loads – when you do not need a full removals lorry
Every job includes careful loading, safe transport and unloading to the rooms you choose, not just a doorstep drop.
Local Expertise in New Malden
We are a genuinely local company based in and around New Malden. We know the one-way systems, controlled parking zones and the narrow residential roads that can catch less experienced drivers out. That local knowledge means more accurate timings, realistic access checks and fewer surprises on moving day.
We regularly serve areas such as Kingston, Raynes Park, Worcester Park, Surbiton, Motspur Park and the wider South West London and North Surrey postcodes. If you are moving in or out of New Malden, we can usually suggest the best times of day to avoid traffic and coordinate parking with you in advance.
Who Our Man with Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal for smaller house moves, decluttering before sale, or transporting bulky items you have sold or bought online. If you are renovating, we can move furniture to storage and back again.
Renters
If you are moving between rented properties in New Malden or across London, our man with van service keeps costs sensible while still giving you a professional, organised move.
Landlords
We work with landlords for end-of-tenancy clearances, part-furnished moves and delivery or removal of beds, wardrobes and white goods between properties.
Businesses
Small office relocations, moves between floors, archive moves and deliveries of office furniture. We can often schedule early morning or evening work to minimise disruption.
Students
Perfect for moving between student accommodation, halls and home. We can handle boxes, suitcases, bikes, small furniture and a few bulky items in a single, cost-effective trip.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items typically included
- Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers
- Boxes, suitcases, plastic crates and bags
- IT and electronics – TVs, computers, monitors, audio equipment
- Office furniture – desks, filing cabinets, meeting tables
- Garden items – tables, chairs, barbecues (clean and cool), tools
Items we exclude or may move by special arrangement
- Hazardous materials – fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint, solvents
- Illegal or stolen goods
- Live animals or pets
- Unboxed loose smaller items (we can advise on packing)
- Very high value items without prior declaration and agreement
- Pianos, safes or very heavy machinery without pre-arranged survey
If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise before booking so we can plan properly and keep everything safe and compliant.
Our Step-by-Step Man with Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: where you are moving from and to, rough inventory, dates and any access issues such as stairs or restricted parking. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, normally the same day.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For straightforward man with van jobs, a detailed phone call or video survey is usually enough. For more complex or larger moves in New Malden, we can visit in person. This helps us allocate the right van size, number of staff and time, and avoid last-minute problems.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or we can supply boxes and materials in advance. If you prefer, we offer a packing service where our team professionally packs and labels your items. We can also dismantle simple furniture such as bed frames and reassemble them at the new property.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects your items using blankets, straps and covers, and loads the van in a safe and efficient order. We drive directly to your destination using the most suitable route for the size of our vehicle and current traffic conditions.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new address, we unload everything to the rooms you specify. We place furniture where you want it and can reassemble items agreed in advance. Before we leave, we do a final walk-through with you to check that nothing has been missed.
Transparent Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. For man with van work in New Malden, we typically quote either:
- An hourly rate with a minimum booking period; or
- A fixed price for clearly defined jobs
Your quote will explain what is included: number of movers, estimated time, vehicle size and any additional services such as packing or dismantling. There are no hidden charges for fuel or stairs. Any potential extra costs (for example, congestion/ULEZ charges or waiting time due to keys not being available) are discussed clearly in advance.
Why Use a Professional Service Instead of DIY?
Hiring a casual van or doing it yourself can look cheaper on paper, but it often comes with risk and stress. Our professional man with van service offers:
- Fully insured moves – your belongings are covered in transit
- Experienced, trained staff – used to handling heavy and fragile items safely
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and protective covers
- Reliable timings – we turn up when we say we will
- Planned routes and parking – especially important around New Malden and central London
Most importantly, you avoid the physical strain and potential injury that can come with lifting and carrying furniture without the right knowledge and equipment.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible removals company, we maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property if something unexpected happens on-site
- Trained moving teams – all staff are briefed on safe lifting, loading and customer care
We handle your possessions as if they were our own, and we are always happy to explain exactly what is covered and how our policies work in plain language.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to protect both your belongings and your property. Our teams use padded blankets, mattress and sofa covers, floor protection where needed and secure strapping in the van. We avoid dragging or scraping items and we take particular care around door frames, bannisters and freshly painted walls.
Where possible, we reuse sturdy cartons and packing materials, and we plan routes sensibly to cut down on unnecessary mileage. If you have good quality boxes you no longer need after your move, we can often collect and reuse or recycle them.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House
For smaller homes and flats in New Malden, our man with van service is often all that is required. We can complete many local moves in a single trip, keeping disruption to a minimum while maintaining a high level of care.
Office Relocations
Small businesses and start-ups use us to move between serviced offices, co-working spaces and traditional premises. We work efficiently to move desks, chairs, computers and files with minimal downtime.
Urgent or Same-Day Moves
Occasionally things change at the last minute – a tenancy ends unexpectedly, a purchase falls through, or you need to collect an item quickly. Where we have availability, we offer same-day or next-day man with van services in New Malden and the surrounding areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with van service in New Malden cost?
Costs depend mainly on three factors: how much you are moving, the distance between addresses and the access at each property. For smaller local moves we usually work on a clear hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For more defined jobs, we can agree a fixed price so you know exactly where you stand. To give you an accurate quote, we will ask about the number of rooms, any heavy or awkward items and which floor you are on. There are no hidden fuel or staircase charges.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man with van bookings?
Yes, when our diary allows, we can offer same-day or next-day man with van services in New Malden and nearby areas. Urgent bookings are subject to vehicle and crew availability, so the more notice you can give us, the better the chances we can help. If you do need a short-notice move, have a clear list of items and addresses ready when you call. That helps us quickly assess what size van and how many movers are required and give you a realistic time of arrival.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover for work at your property. Insurance is there for genuine accidents, but we aim not to need it by handling everything carefully and using proper protective equipment. We will explain any limits, exclusions or requirements (for example, items needing to be properly packed) before you confirm the booking, so you know exactly how you are protected.
What is included in your man with van removals service?
Our standard service includes the van, fuel, a professional driver-mover and, where required, additional movers. We load, secure and transport your items, then unload them into the rooms you choose. Basic protection using blankets and straps is always included. At your request, we can also provide packing materials, a packing service, dismantling and reassembly of straightforward furniture and disposal of a small amount of unwanted packaging. Everything that is included will be clearly listed on your written quote so there are no surprises.
How is a professional removals service different from a casual man-and-van?
A professional removals company offers structured planning, insurance, trained staff and appropriate equipment. Casual operators may simply provide transport, with limited or no cover if something goes wrong. We carry out surveys, check access, advise on packing and allocate the right crew. Our vehicles are fitted out for removals with anchor points and protective materials. In short, you are paying not just for a van, but for experience, reliability and accountability.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend or month-end moves in New Malden, booking two to three weeks ahead is sensible, especially during busy periods such as summer and school holidays. For weekday jobs or smaller moves, we can often accommodate you with shorter notice. If your dates are not fixed, we can pencil you in and confirm closer to the time. Even if your move is very last-minute, it is still worth contacting us, as we sometimes have gaps or cancellations we can use to fit you in.

Who Our New Malden Man and a Van Service Is For
Our service is designed for anyone who needs safe, careful transport of belongings without the cost of a large removals crew.
Homeowners
Ideal for smaller house moves, clearing a garage, taking items to storage, or moving large single items such as sofas, beds or appliances between properties in New Malden and surrounding areas.
Renters and Flat Moves
Perfect for studio and flat moves where access can be tight and a flexible man and a van team is more practical than a full-size removals truck. We regularly help tenants move between rented properties, including furnished and part-furnished lets.
Landlords
We assist landlords with quick, efficient removal or delivery of furniture, white goods and household items between properties, as well as end-of-tenancy clear-outs where required (within our accepted items list).

What Our Man and a Van Service Includes
Our New Malden service covers the careful handling and transport of most household and office items, including:
- Furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs, bookcases
- Boxes – books, clothes, kitchenware, personal items
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected)
- Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors, small office equipment
- Office items – desks, filing cabinets, chairs, boxed paperwork

- Industrial machinery or extremely heavy plant equipment
- Unsealed perishable food
- Items fixed to the property that require specialist removal (unless pre-agreed)
If you are unsure whether your items are suitable, we are happy to advise before booking.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
We follow a clear, structured process so you know exactly what to expect from our New Malden man and a van service.
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your move: addresses, access details, list of key items, and preferred dates. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually either fixed-price or hourly, depending on the job size and distance.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we may carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, the number of stairs, and the volume of items. A proper survey helps us send the right size vehicle, the right number of movers, and give you an accurate price.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can add a packing service if required. On the day, our team will protect furniture with covers, blankets and straps. We ask that appliances are disconnected in advance, and that boxes are clearly labelled and sealed to speed up loading.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained removals team will load your items in a logical, secure order to minimise movement during transit. We use removal blankets, straps and proper lifting techniques to protect both your belongings and our staff. Your goods are then transported directly to the new address, unless otherwise agreed.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload your items and place them into the rooms you specify, not just at the doorstep. We will reassemble simple items that we dismantled, where agreed in advance. Before we leave, we carry out a quick check with you to ensure nothing has been missed from the vehicle.
Transparent Pricing for Man and a Van New Malden
Our pricing is designed to be straightforward and fair. We typically charge either:
- An hourly rate for small local jobs within New Malden and nearby areas
- A fixed price for full flat or small house moves, or longer distances
Your quote will set out what is included: vehicle size, number of movers, estimated time, and any additional services such as packing or furniture dismantling. There are no hidden extras – any potential parking charges, congestion fees or out-of-hours costs are discussed openly before you book.
Why Choose a Professional Man and a Van Over DIY
Hiring a professional man and a van service offers clear advantages over doing it yourself or using an unverified casual operator:
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and protective covers
- Trained movers who know how to handle bulky and fragile items safely
- Fully insured vehicles and goods in transit cover
- Less risk of injury to yourself, friends or family
- Reduced chance of damage to items or property
- Efficient loading and route planning, saving time and stress
While it may seem cheaper to hire a van and do it yourself, many people underestimate the effort, risk and time involved. A professional team from Man and Van New Malden ensures the job is done safely and correctly.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised removals standards.
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our vehicle, subject to terms and conditions.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property in the unlikely event of an accident during loading or unloading.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in lifting, packing and securing loads correctly to minimise risk and damage.
We are happy to explain our cover in plain language and provide details on request so you know exactly how you are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your belongings are handled as if they were our own. We use padding, blankets and protective covers for furniture, and we stack and secure boxes carefully to prevent movement in transit. Floors and banisters are protected where needed, especially in tight New Malden stairways and hallways.
We also take a practical approach to sustainability. Where possible, we reuse strong removal blankets and reusable crates, minimise unnecessary journeys by planning efficient routes, and consolidate loads sensibly when appropriate. If you need to dispose of unwanted items, we can advise on responsible local recycling and reuse options.
Typical Use Cases for Our New Malden Man and a Van
Moving House or Flat
From a one-bedroom flat to a small family home, our man and a van team can handle full or part moves within New Malden or to surrounding towns. We adjust vehicle size and crew numbers to suit the volume of items and access at each property.
Office and Small Business Moves
We regularly help local businesses move desks, chairs, computers and boxed files between offices, or transport equipment for events, pop-up shops and exhibitions. Evening or weekend slots can be arranged to minimise disruption.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Sometimes things change quickly – a last-minute key release, an urgent clearance, or an item that needs to be moved the same day. Subject to availability, we can often provide same-day or short-notice man and a van support in New Malden. The more information you can give us, the faster we can respond.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and a van service in New Malden cost?
Costs vary depending on how much you are moving, the distance between properties and access at each address. Smaller local jobs are often charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while full flat moves are usually priced as a fixed job. To give an accurate quote, we consider the size of van, number of movers and estimated time needed. Contact us with a brief list of items and your addresses, and we will provide a clear, no-obligation price.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man and a van in New Malden?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent moves, particularly within New Malden and nearby areas. Availability depends on our existing bookings and the size of the job, so it is best to call as early as possible. For urgent work we keep the process simple: a quick discussion of what needs moving, where from and to, and any access issues. We then confirm a price and time window so you know exactly when to expect us.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle, subject to the terms of our policy. We also hold public liability cover for work at your property. Some items, such as high-value antiques or fragile artwork, may need to be declared in advance so we can confirm the level of cover. We always load and secure goods carefully, but knowing there is insurance in place gives extra reassurance during your New Malden move.
What is included in your man and a van service?
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional driver, at least one additional mover (depending on your booking), loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide removal blankets and straps to protect and secure your items. Optional extras can include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, and basic dismantling and reassembly of furniture by prior arrangement. Parking costs, tolls or congestion charges are not automatically included but will be clearly explained in your quote.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van I find online?
We operate as a professional removals company, not just a casual van hire. That means trained staff, proper protective equipment, planned loading, and full insurance for goods in transit and public liability. We provide written quotes, clear terms and reliable time slots. Many informal operators cannot offer the same level of protection or consistency. With Man and Van New Malden, you benefit from local knowledge and removals expertise, while still enjoying the flexibility and affordability of a man and a van service.
How far in advance should I book?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially for weekends, month-end dates and busy periods such as summer or university changeovers. This gives you the best choice of time slots and allows us to schedule the right team and vehicle. However, we know plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate short-notice and next-day requests where possible. Even if your date is very close, it is worth contacting us to check our latest availability.

Our Flat Removals Process – Step by Step
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with basic details: current flat address, destination, access details (floors, lifts, parking), and an outline of your items. We ask a few focused questions to understand your needs and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote. Where possible, we give options, such as labour-only loading, part-packing or a full moving service.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit. We assess the number of items, access challenges, lift sizes, staircases and any fragile or bulky items. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, number of movers and equipment, and to give you an accurate, fixed-price quotation where appropriate.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day (or the day before for larger moves), our trained team arrives with materials if you have chosen our packing service. We can:
- Pack all or part of your flat contents
- Dismantle beds, wardrobes and larger furniture if required
- Protect furniture with covers and wrap fragile items carefully
- Label boxes by room to simplify unloading
If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply boxes and packing materials in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
We protect floors, doorways and lifts where needed, then load systematically, securing items to prevent movement in transit. Our vehicles are clean, well-maintained and equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys. Once loaded, we transport your belongings directly to your new address, keeping you informed of progress, particularly on longer journeys.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new flat, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble dismantled furniture and position larger items where you want them, so you are not left lifting heavy pieces yourself. Before leaving, we do a final check with you to ensure everything is in the right place and nothing has been missed from the vehicle.
Transparent Pricing for Flat Removals in New Malden
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no surprise extras. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of items and size of property
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, distance to parking)
- Travel distance between addresses
- Level of service – load and move only, part packing or full packing and unpacking
- Any special handling requirements for fragile or bulky items
You will receive a written breakdown explaining what is included, the number of movers, vehicle size, and any optional add-ons. If your situation changes before moving day, we encourage you to let us know so we can update the plan and avoid last-minute complications.
Why Choose Professional Flat Removals Over DIY
Moving from a flat can seem manageable with a hire van and a few friends, but there are hidden challenges. Professional movers know how to handle heavy furniture through tight stairwells without damaging walls, lifts or your belongings. We also understand building rules, noise restrictions and parking regulations common in New Malden.
With our service you benefit from:
- Experienced, trained staff who move flats every day
- Fully insured transport for your goods
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Faster, more organised loading and unloading
- Less physical strain and reduced risk of injury
In many cases, a professional service works out more economical once you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work and potential damage from an inexperienced move.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van New Malden operates to clear professional standards to protect you and your belongings.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are on our vehicle, subject to terms and conditions.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury during the move.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are instructed in safe lifting techniques, furniture protection and correct loading procedures.
Details of cover limits and exclusions are available on request, and we are always happy to explain how protection applies to your particular move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings and your building with care. Furniture is wrapped or covered, fragile items are packed securely, and we take care not to mark walls, doors or lifts. Where necessary, we use floor protection and corner guards.
We are also mindful of sustainability. Wherever possible we:
- Reuse durable packing materials such as blankets and plastic crates
- Offer the option of collecting used cardboard boxes for recycling
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
By planning well and using the right materials, we both protect your possessions and minimise waste.
Real-World Flat Removal Scenarios
Moving House or Upsizing
Many clients move from a New Malden flat to a larger house. We coordinate timings with your completion and key collection, ensuring your flat is emptied in line with your contract and your new home is ready to receive furniture as soon as you get the keys.
Office and Home-Office Relocations
For those running a business from a flat or small office, we move filing cabinets, stock, computers and furniture with minimal downtime. Items can be clearly labelled and positioned so you can resume work quickly.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes circumstances change unexpectedly – end of tenancy dates brought forward, relationship breakdown, or urgent relocations for work. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day flat removals in and around New Malden, focusing on essential items first and planning further trips if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do flat removals in New Malden cost?
The cost depends mainly on the volume of belongings, access at each property and the distance between addresses. Smaller studio or one-bed flat moves within New Malden are usually charged on a set hourly rate with a minimum time. Larger or more complex moves are often priced as a fixed quote after a survey. Optional services such as packing, dismantling furniture or additional stops will affect the price. We always provide a clear written estimate in advance so you know exactly what to budget for.
Can you do same-day or urgent flat removals?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day moves in New Malden, depending on existing bookings and the size of the job. Urgent moves work best when you can provide photos or a quick video tour so we can assess what is needed without delay. While last-minute bookings may limit flexibility on start times, we will always be honest about what is achievable and prioritise moving your essential items safely rather than rushing and risking damage.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are on our vehicle, subject to the policy terms. We also carry public liability insurance for added peace of mind. Insurance is not a substitute for proper packing, so we take care to wrap and secure items correctly. We are happy to explain the cover limits, any exclusions (for example, certain high-value or fragile items) and how you can supplement our cover with your own insurance if you wish.
What is included in your flat removals service?
Our standard service includes loading your packed items and furniture, transporting them to your new address, and unloading them into the rooms you choose. We provide protective blankets, straps and basic tools for dismantling simple furniture. You can add extra services such as full or part packing, supply of boxes and packing materials, furniture assembly, disposal of unwanted items by prior arrangement, and multiple pick-up or drop-off points. Everything that is included will be clearly listed in your written quote.
How is a professional removal service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van usually offers transport and labour only, with limited protection, planning or insurance. Our service is a structured, professional removal operation. We assess access, plan vehicle size and staffing, protect your home and belongings, and provide insured transport. Our team is trained in safe handling, and we offer packing, dismantling and reassembly options. In short, you get greater reliability, accountability and peace of mind, which is especially important in flats where access and building rules can be challenging.
How far in advance should I book my flat removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as you know your moving window, ideally two to four weeks in advance. However, we understand that exchange and completion dates can change, especially for homeowners. We try to be as flexible as possible, and we can often accommodate short-notice moves, particularly on weekdays. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer, but it is always worth asking about availability even at the last minute.
Student Removals
Student Removals New Malden – Man and Van New Malden
At Man and Van New Malden, we provide straightforward, reliable student removals for university and college students moving to, from or within New Malden. Whether you are leaving halls, changing house shares, heading home for the summer or moving to another UK city, we make the whole process calm, organised and affordable.
Specialist Student Removals in New Malden
Student moves are different from a full house removal. You might have a smaller volume of belongings, tight dates that fit around term times and exams, and a limited budget. Our student removals New Malden service is designed specifically around those needs, giving you the same professional standards as a full removal, but in a flexible, cost‑effective way.
We work with students from local and London universities, including Kingston, Roehampton, Surrey and central London institutions, as well as international students arriving or returning via Heathrow and Gatwick.
Who Our Student Removals Service Is For
Although this page focuses on student moves, the service is ideal for:
- Homeowners with children at university needing term-time or end-of-year moves
- Renters moving between flat shares or studios in New Malden and beyond
- Landlords arranging moves for tenants or clearing student lets between tenancies
- Businesses relocating interns, graduates or members of staff with light contents
- Students moving into halls, private accommodation or back home
What’s Included in Our Student Removals
Our standard student removals service typically covers:
- Clothes, shoes and personal belongings
- Books, notes, folders and study materials
- Laptops, desktops, monitors and other tech (carefully protected)
- Small furniture such as desks, bedside tables and chairs
- TVs, gaming consoles and small sound systems
- Kitchen items – boxes of utensils, pans, plates and small appliances
- Bedding, duvets, pillows and soft furnishings
- Sports equipment, musical instruments and hobby items
Items We Cannot Carry
For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our student removals service:
- Hazardous or flammable materials (gas canisters, fuel, solvents, fireworks)
- Illegal or stolen goods
- Unpacked loose liquids (open cleaning products, open paint tins, etc.)
- Live animals or pets
- Perishable food for long-distance moves
- Heavy industrial or construction equipment outside normal household use
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you during the enquiry or survey stage.
Our Step-by-Step Student Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Man and Van New Malden by phone, email or online form with your dates, addresses and a rough list of what you need to move. We ask a few straightforward questions to understand volume, access (halls, lifts, parking) and timing. Based on this, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote, usually the same day. There are no hidden extras – we explain exactly what is and is not included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most student removals, a quick virtual survey via video call or photos is enough. You show us the room, any larger items and access routes, and we confirm the vehicle size, number of movers and likely duration. For more complex or shared moves with several students combining loads, we can arrange a short onsite survey in New Malden or nearby areas.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or we can provide packing services if required. We supply strong boxes, tape and wrap, and can bring them to you in advance. For tech, TVs and fragile items, we use high-quality bubble wrap and protective materials. Each box is clearly labelled to make unloading and placement easy at the other end.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained team arrives on time in a clean, well-maintained vehicle. We protect larger items, load safely and efficiently, and secure everything in the van. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new address, whether that is elsewhere in New Malden, across London or to another UK city.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your destination, we unload carefully and place items in the rooms you choose – bedroom, lounge, study or storage area. If we have dismantled any simple furniture, we will reassemble it where agreed. Before leaving, we check you are happy with everything and that nothing has been overlooked in the vehicle.
Transparent, Student-Friendly Pricing
We keep our pricing straightforward and fair. Costs are based on:
- Volume of belongings (number of boxes and size of furniture)
- Distance between addresses
- Type of property and access (stairs, lifts, long carries)
- Whether packing materials or packing services are required
- Any additional drops or collections (e.g. storage, parents' home)
We offer options such as shared loads for students moving along similar routes, which can reduce the cost per person. Your quote will clearly state the hourly rate or fixed fee, travel time, and any parking or congestion charges that may apply. You will know the full price before you book.
Why Choose Professional Student Removals Over DIY
It can be tempting to move everything in a friend’s car or hire a cheap, casual man-and-van. In reality, this often means multiple trips, last-minute problems and a higher risk of damage. Our professional student removals service in New Malden gives you:
- Experienced movers used to tight stairwells, halls of residence and busy streets
- Proper protective equipment and securing methods for your belongings
- Suitable vehicles with enough space for everything in one go
- Fully insured cover for your items while we handle them
- Reliable timings so you can plan keys, check‑in and travel
Instead of worrying about the logistics, you can focus on settling into your new place or concentrating on exams and deadlines.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van New Malden takes responsibility seriously. We operate to clear, professional standards backed by proper insurance:
- Goods in transit insurance – your belongings are covered while in our care, subject to policy terms
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property
- Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in safe lifting, loading and handling
We treat student belongings with the same care as a full family home move. Laptops, research notes, instruments and sentimental items are handled with particular attention.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We know many students are rightly concerned about waste and environmental impact. Our approach includes:
- Reusable crates and sturdy boxes where practical
- Recycled or recyclable packing materials, used sensibly
- Planned routes to minimise unnecessary mileage
- Well‑maintained vehicles for better fuel efficiency
During your move, we protect floors, corners and doorways as needed, and we can take away used boxes for reuse on future moves when agreed in advance.
Real-World Student Removal Scenarios
Moving into Halls or First-Year Accommodation
We regularly help first-year students and their families move from New Malden and surrounding areas into halls. We coordinate around arrival slots, manage parking at busy campuses and ensure everything is unloaded quickly so you can settle in.
Changing House Shares in New Malden
For students moving between shared houses or flats locally, we can handle everything in a single, short job – perfect when you have overlapping tenancy dates and limited time between commitments.
End-of-Year Moves and Storage
When term ends, many students head home but do not want to take everything with them. We can transport your belongings to local storage facilities and later move them into your next accommodation at the start of the new term.
Long-Distance Student Moves Across the UK
If you are returning home to another part of the UK, or moving to a different city for a placement or new course, we can handle single or combined loads to keep the cost reasonable, while still providing a punctual, reliable service.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a student removal in New Malden cost?
The cost depends on how much you are moving, the distance between addresses and the level of service you choose. A small local move with boxes and a few pieces of furniture can often be completed within a few hours, while long-distance or larger shared house moves will cost more. We provide either an hourly rate or a fixed price once we understand your requirements. There are no hidden fees – any parking, tolls or congestion charges are explained in advance and included clearly in your written quote.
Can you do same-day or urgent student moves?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short‑notice student removals in and around New Malden, especially outside peak weekends. Availability depends on our existing bookings and the size of your move. If you are in a rush due to last-minute tenancy changes, timetable issues or transport problems, call us as soon as possible. We will check slots, advise realistic timings and let you know what is achievable. Even for urgent moves, we maintain our usual professional standards and clear communication.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items while they are being moved by us, along with public liability cover. This means your belongings are protected in the unlikely event of an accident, subject to our terms and the insurer’s conditions. We will explain the key points, such as any single‑item limits or exclusions, before you book. For high‑value items like specialist instruments or equipment, please tell us in advance so we can make sure they are recorded and handled with additional care on move day.
What is included in your student removals service?
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, trained movers, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We protect furniture and fragile items, and place boxes and belongings in the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing materials, a full or partial packing service, dismantling and reassembling simple furniture, and additional drops such as storage or a second address. All inclusions and any optional services are listed clearly in your quotation, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may simply provide transport and basic lifting, often without proper insurance, equipment or planning. Our service is a structured, professional removal: we survey in advance, allocate the right vehicle and team, bring protective materials, and work to agreed timescales. We are fully insured, our staff are trained in safe handling, and we deal with landlords, halls and building managers regularly. This reduces stress, lowers the risk of damage and helps your move go smoothly from start to finish.
How far in advance should I book my student removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially around the start and end of term, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance. This is particularly important for weekend moves and popular changeover days when many students are moving at once. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we also keep some flexibility for late bookings. Even if your move is only a few days away, contact us and we will do our best to fit you in and offer practical options.

Landlords
We assist landlords who need a fast, tidy removal of furniture and contents between tenancies, including partial clear-outs and reconfiguration of furnished lets.
Businesses
For home offices and small commercial spaces in New Malden, we provide structured moves for desks, filing, IT equipment and stock, ensuring minimal downtime and careful handling of sensitive items.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your moving details – addresses, approximate move date, size of property and any special items. We ask a few focused questions to understand your requirements and provide an initial, no-obligation estimate.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most house removals, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or in person in New Malden and surrounding areas. We assess access, parking, volume of goods and any challenges (narrow stairs, heavy items, restricted lifts), then confirm a clear written quotation.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer flexible options:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you.
- Part packing – we pack fragile or high-value items only.
- Self-packing – you pack; we advise on best practice and can supply quality boxes and materials.
On the day, we protect furniture with covers, wrap delicate items, and plan the loading order to make unloading smoother.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your belongings carefully, using protection blankets, straps and floor covers where needed. We work efficiently but never rush handling. Your items are then transported in a suitable vehicle, with goods in transit insurance in place for added peace of mind.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload methodically, placing items into the rooms you specify. We can assemble basic furniture by prior arrangement and will not leave until you are happy that everything has been unloaded and placed as agreed.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Property size and volume of goods
- Distance between addresses
- Access and parking conditions
- Number of movers and vehicles required
- Whether packing materials and packing services are included
- Any additional services (dismantling, storage, extra stops)
You receive a written quotation outlining what is included, so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges (e.g. congestion charges, parking costs) are explained in advance wherever possible.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company is about more than convenience. It greatly reduces the risk of damage to your possessions and property, and helps you avoid personal injury from lifting heavy or awkward items. We bring the correct equipment, protective materials and experience to navigate awkward spaces safely.
DIY or casual man-and-van arrangements often underestimate time, vehicle size and manpower, leading to multiple trips, last-minute stress and potential breakages. With Man and Van New Malden, you benefit from structured planning, trained staff, and fully insured transport, providing a safer and more predictable move.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We operate to clear professional standards to protect you and your belongings:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being transported, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property or injury caused by our work.
- Trained moving teams – staff are briefed on safe lifting, loading and handling techniques to minimise risk.
Policy details and limits are available on request. We are always happy to explain how coverage works so you can make informed decisions, especially for higher-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move in New Malden with care and attention. Furniture is protected with blankets and covers, floors and banisters are safeguarded where required, and fragile items are wrapped and labelled clearly. We plan loading to reduce movement in transit, keeping items stable and secure.
We also work towards more sustainable practices where possible: reusing strong cartons, offering to collect good-quality boxes for re-use, and planning efficient routes to minimise unnecessary mileage. Our aim is to move you efficiently while reducing waste and environmental impact where we can.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House Locally in New Malden
If you are moving from one New Malden property to another, we can often complete the whole move in a day, including packing if booked in advance. Our knowledge of local roads and parking saves time and helps avoid avoidable delays.
Office and Home-Office Relocations
For small businesses and home offices, we coordinate moves to limit disruption. Desks, computers and files are clearly labelled and placed to plan at your new address, helping you get back to work quickly.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Life does not always give much notice. Where our schedule allows, we can help with last-minute moves, end-of-tenancy deadlines or urgent relocations. We focus on clear communication so you know exactly what is realistic within the time available.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house removals in New Malden cost?
Costs vary depending on property size, volume of items, distance and services required. A small flat move within New Malden will usually be less than a full family home relocation with packing and storage. We typically base prices on an hourly rate or a fixed price after a survey. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us for a tailored quote. We will ask a few key questions or arrange a quick survey, then provide a clear, written price with no hidden extras.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice house removals in New Malden and nearby areas. Availability depends on existing bookings, vehicle size required and the scale of your move. If you need an urgent move, let us know your time frame, addresses and key items as soon as possible. We will confirm honestly what we can do and provide a realistic plan. Even at short notice, we maintain professional standards and safe working practices.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to the terms and limits of our policy. We also hold public liability cover for additional protection. We recommend you tell us about any especially high-value or delicate items before moving day so we can check coverage and arrange extra precautions if needed. Full policy details are available on request, and we are happy to explain how the cover works in plain language.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard removals service includes loading your boxed and prepared items, protecting furniture as needed, transporting them to your new address and unloading into the rooms you specify. We can add services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture, supply of packing materials and temporary storage. During your quotation, we will confirm exactly what is included so there is no confusion on the day. If you need something specific, such as moving items to multiple drop-off points, just let us know in advance.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van often provides only transport and lifting, with limited planning, insurance or protection for your belongings. Our house removals service offers structured surveys, clear written quotes, trained staff, fully insured vehicles and proper equipment such as blankets, straps and trolleys. We also provide packing options, item protection and room-to-room placement. This reduces the risk of damage, cuts down on wasted time and gives you a more predictable, managed move compared to an informal arrangement.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Ideally, you should book your house removal as soon as you have a confirmed move date, particularly if you are moving on a popular day such as a Friday or at month-end. For most New Malden moves, one to three weeks’ notice is comfortable, but we do our best to accommodate shorter lead times. Early booking gives you more choice of dates and allows us to plan parking, access and any packing services. However, it is always worth contacting us, even at short notice, to check current availability.

Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Moving between properties in or out of New Malden? We can move full households, including bulky and awkward items, with protection for carpets, bannisters and doors in both properties. We plan your load order so essentials are unloaded first at your new home.

If you are renting a flat or house, we understand the importance of avoiding damage to walls and fixtures. Our team carefully manoeuvres furniture in tight stairwells and communal hallways, helping you leave your rental in good condition at the end of your tenancy.
Landlords
We support landlords with furniture removals for furnished and part-furnished lets. This includes removing old or damaged items, delivering replacement furniture, and rearranging pieces between properties on a flexible schedule.
Businesses
From small offices to retail spaces, we handle desks, chairs, shelving, reception furniture and more. We can work outside standard hours where required to minimise disruption, and we label items and rooms clearly so everything ends up in the right place.
Students
Students moving into or out of New Malden accommodation often only have a room’s worth of furniture and belongings. Our service is ideal for small moves, with clear pricing and the option for help with packing and dismantling.
What We Can and Can’t Move
Items Included in Our Furniture Removals
We can safely move most household and office furniture, including:
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Bookcases, shelving units and cabinets
- Desks, office chairs and filing cabinets
- TV units, media cabinets and occasional tables
- Flat-pack and modular furniture (dismantled and reassembled where agreed)
- Light appliances and freestanding white goods (by prior arrangement)
Items Excluded or Requiring Special Arrangement
For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded or need special planning:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Live animals or pets
- High-value jewellery, cash or important documents – these are best carried with you
- Heavy safes, pianos or specialist machinery (possible by prior arrangement and survey)
- Built-in appliances and fixtures that require qualified tradespeople to disconnect
If you are unsure about a particular item, we can advise during the enquiry or survey stage.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact Man and Van New Malden by phone, email or online form. We will ask for details such as addresses, access (stairs, lifts, parking), a list of key items, and your preferred dates. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining whether it is a fixed price or hourly rate depending on the nature of your move.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit around New Malden. The survey helps us assess volumes, access constraints and any items that need dismantling. It ensures we send the right-sized vehicle, the correct number of movers, and the necessary equipment, reducing the risk of delays on moving day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack your own items or use our packing service. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply quality boxes and packing materials. Where we are responsible for preparation, we will:
- Wrap furniture in transit blankets and protective covers
- Dismantle agreed items such as bed frames and wardrobes
- Protect mattresses with covers and delicate surfaces with padding
- Label items and components to aid reassembly
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our professional team arrives at the agreed time, introduces themselves and walks through the plan with you. We load systematically, securing furniture with straps to prevent movement in transit. Our vehicles are clean, well-maintained and fitted out for removals work. We then transport your furniture directly to your new address, keeping you informed of progress.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload each item and place it in the rooms you specify. We can reassemble any furniture we dismantled as part of the service and position larger items before smaller boxes, so you can start using key rooms quickly. Before we leave, we check that everything is unloaded, positioned as requested and that you are satisfied with the placement.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals
We aim to keep our pricing straightforward and transparent. Costs are typically based on:
- Volume and number of items
- Access at both addresses (stairs, parking distance, lifts)
- Distance between properties
- Number of movers required
- Any additional services such as packing or dismantling
Smaller moves within New Malden are often priced on an hourly basis, while full property moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. All quotes clearly state what is included, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you book. There are no hidden surcharges for standard removals work.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using an informal man-and-van:
- Safety: Trained movers know how to lift and manoeuvre heavy furniture safely, reducing the risk of injury.
- Protection: Professional equipment, blankets and covers significantly reduce the chance of damage to furniture and property.
- Efficiency: A coordinated team can complete moves more quickly, often in a single trip.
- Insurance: Your belongings are covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance, which informal providers rarely have.
- Reliability: Confirmed booking times and written agreements provide more certainty than ad-hoc arrangements.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van New Malden operates to recognised professional standards for removals:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your furniture while it is being moved
- Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling all types of furniture
- Clear terms and conditions, including how claims are handled in the unlikely event of damage
We treat your furniture with the same care we would give our own, and we document any pre-existing damage so there is no confusion later.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your belongings and your property is central to our service. We use quality moving blankets, mattress covers, floor protection and corner guards where needed. Items are strapped securely in the vehicle to prevent movement.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible, we re-use durable packing materials, and we encourage customers to return boxes for re-use. We plan routes efficiently around New Malden and beyond to limit unnecessary mileage and emissions.
Common Real-World Use Cases
Moving House Within or From New Malden
We regularly help families and individuals move between properties in New Malden and to other parts of London and the UK. This can include staged moves, temporary storage transfers (via your chosen storage provider), and careful handling of sentimental or fragile furniture.
Office and Commercial Furniture Moves
Local businesses use our service when relocating offices, refurbishing premises or downsizing. We can move meeting room tables, reception furniture, workstations and filing cabinets, coordinating with your team to minimise disruption.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves arise unexpectedly – a last-minute tenancy change, a property sale completing ahead of schedule, or urgent clearance of a furnished property. Subject to availability, we can offer same-day or next-day furniture removals in New Malden, with clear communication about timing and costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture removal in New Malden cost?
The cost depends on the volume of furniture, access at each property, distance travelled and whether you need extra services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller local moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full household or office moves are usually quoted at a fixed price. Once we have basic details – addresses, key items and dates – we provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges for standard removals work.
Can you handle same-day or urgent furniture removals?
We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in New Malden, depending on existing bookings and crew availability. If you need an urgent move, contact us by phone for the quickest response. We will ask a few essential questions about your furniture, addresses and timing, then confirm what we can realistically do that day. While we cannot guarantee availability for every last-minute request, we will always be honest about our capacity and offer the soonest practical slot.
Is my furniture insured during the move?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved in our vehicles. We also carry public liability cover for work at your property. These policies are designed to protect you in the unlikely event of loss or damage caused by us. We will explain the key points of cover when you book, including any limits or exclusions, so you have a clear understanding. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend noting them specifically on your paperwork.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained removals team, loading, secure transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We also provide basic protection for furniture using blankets, covers and straps. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and help with light appliances by prior agreement. All inclusions are clearly set out in your quote, so you can see exactly what is covered before you confirm your booking.
How is your service different from a casual man-and-van?
While a basic man-and-van can be suitable for very small jobs, our service is structured as a professional removals operation. We use trained staff, carry full insurance, plan moves in advance, and provide written quotes and confirmations. Our vehicles are properly equipped for removals, with blankets, straps and protective materials. We also take responsibility for careful handling, room-to-room placement and, where agreed, dismantling and reassembly. In short, you benefit from more reliability, protection and support throughout the move.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For most moves, we recommend booking one to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or at weekends, when demand in New Malden is higher. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy start dates can change at short notice. If your plans are uncertain, we can hold a provisional date and stay in touch as things progress. For urgent or last-minute moves, contact us as soon as possible so we can check current availability.

Based in New Malden, we know the local streets, parking restrictions and typical access issues inside out. This local knowledge is critical for same day removals, where timing and planning matter.
We regularly work across New Malden and nearby areas, including Kingston, Raynes Park, Worcester Park, Motspur Park and Surbiton. We understand peak traffic patterns, best routes and council rules, helping us avoid delays and keep your urgent move on track.
Who Our Same Day Removals Are For
Homeowners
Last-minute completion date? Chain issues suddenly resolved? We can step in quickly to move the contents of houses and larger flats, prioritising key rooms and essentials if time is tight.

Facing a sudden tenancy end, landlord request or change of plans? Our team can move you out of your rental property on the same day, helping you avoid extra rent or penalties while keeping the property protected.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We assist with urgent clearances, tenant changeovers and end-of-tenancy moves. From part-furnished flats to full house contents, we can help you prepare a property quickly for new occupants.
Businesses
For small offices, shops and local businesses, we offer same day office and commercial removals. Whether you are relocating, consolidating or moving key equipment, we work efficiently to minimise downtime.
Students
Students often have to move at short notice due to halls deadlines, course changes or flat-share issues. Our same day student removals are ideal for rooms, small flats and shared houses, keeping costs sensible while still using a trained, reliable team.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, drawers
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers (disconnected)
- Boxes, bags and suitcases of personal belongings
- Office furniture – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving
- IT equipment – computers, screens, printers (properly packed)

- Items requiring specialist handling (e.g. grand pianos, industrial machinery) unless pre-agreed
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, mention it during your enquiry. We will advise honestly and help you find a safe solution where possible.
Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Call us or send a message with the key details: addresses, type of property, access information, list of main items and your timescale. For same day moves we prioritise rapid responses. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information given.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For many same day removals we carry out a rapid virtual survey using photos, video calls or a detailed item list. Where time and distance allow, we may visit onsite. The aim is to understand volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any dismantling needed so we bring the right vehicle and equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
For urgent moves, customers often have started packing already. We can:
- Provide packing materials (boxes, tape, wrap) where available
- Help with last-minute packing of loose items
- Protect furniture with blankets and covers
- Dismantle simple furniture such as bed frames where needed
We focus on securing your belongings quickly but properly so they travel safely.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your items in a logical order, securing them with straps and blankets to minimise movement. We use suitable vehicles for New Malden’s streets and plan the route to avoid unnecessary delays. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the move.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing larger furniture where you want it. We can reassemble basic items where agreed in advance, and we always check that you are satisfied before we leave.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day removals are priced fairly and transparently. Costs are typically based on:
- Size of the move (volume of items)
- Number of movers required
- Distance between properties
- Access challenges (stairs, long walks, no lift, limited parking)
- Any packing or dismantling requested
For urgent, same day bookings we may apply a short-notice or out-of-hours element, which is clearly explained in advance. You receive a straightforward price with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what you are paying for before we start.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
When time is tight, it can be tempting to ask friends or hire an unverified van. This often leads to damage, delays and stress. By choosing a professional removals company like Man and Van New Malden you benefit from:
- Trained moving teams who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
- Fully insured vehicles and cover for your belongings in transit
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps, tools
- Reliable timings and clear communication
- Accountability – written quotes and agreed terms
This is especially important on same day moves, where there is very little margin for error.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised standards for small removals in the UK, with appropriate cover and procedures in place:
- Goods in transit insurance – protects your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles
- Public liability cover – in case of accidental damage to third-party property or injury
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff who understand safe handling, wrapping and loading
We treat every job, however urgent, with the same level of care, documenting details and confirming arrangements so you have a clear record of what has been agreed.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Urgent does not mean careless. We use protective blankets, covers and careful stacking methods to reduce the risk of damage. Where possible, we reuse robust packing materials, minimise unnecessary journeys and plan routes efficiently to lower fuel use.
We regularly maintain our vehicles to keep them safe and efficient, and we encourage customers to reuse or recycle boxes and materials after their move where practical.
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Moving House at Short Notice
Sometimes a completion date or tenancy change happens faster than expected. We help homeowners and renters in New Malden move into or out of properties on the same day, focusing first on essential rooms and items if time is limited.
Urgent Office or Shop Relocation
Small businesses occasionally need to move quickly due to lease issues, emergencies or growth. We can relocate furniture, stock and equipment with minimal disruption, scheduling moves around your trading hours where possible.
Emergency or Unexpected Moves
Breakdowns in house shares, relationship changes or property issues can all create an immediate need to move. Our discreet, supportive same day service helps you relocate swiftly and safely, with as little extra stress as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in New Malden cost?
The cost of same day removals in New Malden depends on the size of your move, distance, access and how many movers are required. Smaller student or flat moves may be priced by the hour, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. There may be a short-notice element for urgent same day bookings, especially evenings or weekends. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what is included before you confirm.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate genuine same day and urgent requests, especially within New Malden and nearby areas. Availability depends on our schedule, vehicle capacity and staffing on the day. The sooner you contact us, the better the chance we can help. Even if we are fully booked, we will be honest, suggest alternatives where possible and, if appropriate, offer first-thing-next-morning slots as a backup plan.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for additional protection. Insurance is not a substitute for good practice, so we still pack, protect and load items carefully. We will explain any limits or exclusions in plain language before your move, and we are happy to answer specific questions about higher-value items so you can make an informed decision.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our same day removals service includes a vehicle and professional movers, loading at your current address, secure transport and unloading at your new property. We provide basic protection such as blankets and straps, and we can place items in the rooms you choose. Where time allows, we can assist with packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly by prior agreement. Packing materials, long carries, additional stops or storage can also be arranged and will be clearly set out in your quote.
How is your service different from a casual man-and-van?
While the term “man and van” is often used loosely, our service is a structured, professional removals operation. We are fully insured, use trained staff, maintain our vehicles and follow clear procedures. We provide written quotes, confirm bookings and turn up when we say we will. Casual man-and-van services may not offer proper insurance or experienced movers, which can be risky, especially on an urgent move. Our aim is to give you the flexibility of a local man and van with the reliability of a removals company.
How far in advance should I book a same day move?
For a same day move, contact us as early in the day as possible. Morning enquiries usually give us more flexibility to plan vehicles and staff. If your move is urgent but not immediate, booking one or two days ahead greatly improves availability and may reduce cost. Even for last-minute situations, providing accurate information about items, access and timing helps us respond quickly and prepare properly, giving you a smoother, less stressful move.

What Our Man and Van Service Includes
Our man and van service is a flexible, cost-effective option for smaller to medium moves and transport jobs. You get a dedicated vehicle, a trained driver and, where needed, extra porters to handle all the lifting and carrying.

- Store collections and deliveries from retailers or storage units
Our teams are trained, punctual and professional, with a focus on careful handling, clear communication and safe transport.
Local Expertise in New Malden
New Malden has its own quirks – tight residential streets, controlled parking zones and busy commuter traffic. Because we’re based locally, we:
- Know the best routes at different times of day to avoid delays
- Understand local parking rules and loading restrictions
- Are familiar with common building layouts, from maisonettes to modern blocks
- Work regularly with local landlords, agents and storage facilities
That local knowledge saves you time and helps prevent issues on the day – especially where access is tight, lifts are small, or stairwells are awkward.
Who Our Man and Van New Malden Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal for smaller property moves, downsizing, or transporting selected large items between homes. We can also assist with moves into or out of storage while you renovate or wait for completion.
Renters
Whether you’re leaving a flat share or moving between rented properties, our flexible, shorter bookings keep costs sensible. We’re used to working with lift access, permit parking and tight time windows between tenancies.
Landlords
We regularly support landlords with clearing or part-clearing properties, swapping furniture, and moving appliances between lets. We handle items carefully and leave properties tidy for inventory checks and new tenants.
Businesses
Small offices, shops and studios use our man and van service for light relocations, stock moves and equipment transport. We can work outside standard hours to minimise disruption to your trading.
Students
Students moving to or from New Malden benefit from shared loads or small van moves. We handle boxed belongings, small furniture and bikes, and can coordinate with halls of residence or letting agents.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs, chests of drawers
- Domestic appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected)
- Boxes, bags and storage crates
- Office furniture – desks, filing cabinets, chairs, shelving
- IT and electrical equipment – monitors, PCs, printers (properly packed)
- Bicycles, sports equipment and hobby items
Items We Cannot Move
For safety and insurance reasons, we do not transport:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items of any kind
- Loose cash, high-value jewellery or important documents (keep these with you)
- Live animals (including pets and livestock)
- Commercial quantities of flammable or explosive goods
If you are unsure whether an item can be moved, we will advise during the enquiry or survey stage so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Step-by-Step Man and Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your move: addresses, property type, rough inventory, and preferred dates. We ask focused questions to understand access, parking and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the vehicle size, number of movers and estimated time.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a quick virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access routes, staircases, lifts and parking, and to confirm volumes. Accurate surveys help us send the right van, the right team and the right equipment, avoiding delays and extra costs.
3. Packing & Preparation
Most man and van customers choose to pack themselves, but we can also provide packing services and materials if required. We advise on sensible box sizes, labelling, and how to prepare appliances and flat-pack furniture. On the day, we protect key items with covers, blankets and wrapping as appropriate.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team plans the loading sequence, placing heavier items at the bottom and securing everything to minimise movement in transit. We use trolleys, dollies and lifting straps where necessary. Once loaded, we travel via suitable routes, taking into account low bridges, weight limits and traffic conditions.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just the doorway. We position furniture as directed and ensure boxes are stacked safely. Before we leave, we ask you to check that everything is accounted for and in the right place.
Transparent Pricing for Man and Van New Malden
We price our man and van service in a way that is clear and fair. Typically, this means:
- An hourly rate for the van and a set number of movers, with a minimum booking period
- Or a fixed-price quote for defined jobs where the scope is clear
- Travel time, congestion charges and parking fees agreed in advance where applicable
We explain exactly what is included in your quote: vehicle size, number of staff, estimated duration and any additional services (such as packing or dismantling). There are no hidden extras; if scope changes, we discuss any impact on cost before proceeding.
Why Use a Professional Man and Van Instead of DIY
Hiring a van yourself may look cheaper on paper, but it often comes with hidden costs – time off work, fuel, insurance, equipment hire, and the risk of damage or injury. With a professional man and van team you benefit from:
- Experienced movers who know how to lift, carry and load safely
- Proper tools and protective equipment for your belongings and property
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Reliable, on-time arrival and realistic timings
- Support if access, parking or other unexpected issues arise
For many people, the reduced stress and lower risk of breakages more than justify using a professional team rather than doing it all themselves.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, so we operate to clear, professional standards. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to property
- Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in safe handling and loading
We treat every job with the same care, whether you are moving a few boxes or a full flat. We are happy to explain our cover levels and what they mean in practical terms before you book.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We place a strong emphasis on protecting both your belongings and the properties we work in. We use blankets, mattress covers and floor protection where needed, and we handle stairwells and doorways carefully to avoid scuffs.
From a sustainability perspective, we:
- Use reusable transit blankets, straps and crates where practical
- Encourage customers to reuse boxes or choose recyclable materials
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
The aim is to move you efficiently while minimising waste and unnecessary environmental impact.
Real-World Use Cases for Man and Van New Malden
Moving House or Flat
Perfect for 1–2 bedroom flats, studios and part-moves. We can manage everything from boxed belongings and small furniture to larger key items like beds and wardrobes.
Office and Business Relocations
For small offices, clinics, salons or shops, our man and van service offers a practical way to move desks, stock and equipment without overcommitting to a full-scale removal service. We can schedule work out of hours to suit your trading pattern.
Urgent or Same-Day Moves
Occasionally things change at short notice – a tenancy ends early, a sale completes sooner than expected, or plans fall through with another provider. If we have availability, we offer same-day or next-day man and van assistance in New Malden to get you moved quickly and safely.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and van in New Malden cost?
Costs depend on the size of van required, how many movers you need, and how long the job takes. Smaller moves within New Malden are often priced on an hourly basis with a minimum booking period, while more defined jobs can be quoted at a fixed price. Factors such as access, stairs, heavy items and parking also affect the total. During your enquiry we ask clear questions, then provide a transparent estimate so you know exactly what you are paying for before you book.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man and van help?
Yes, subject to availability we can often provide same-day or next-day man and van support in New Malden. Urgent moves are common when tenancies change quickly or other arrangements fall through. If you call or enquire early in the day, we’ll check our schedule and advise honestly what is achievable, including approximate timings and costs. Even at short notice we still follow our standard safety and protection procedures to ensure your items are handled properly.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property. Insurance is there as a safety net; our main focus is preventing problems in the first place through careful packing, loading and handling. We are happy to explain what is and is not covered, and to confirm limits and conditions in writing before you confirm the booking, so you can make informed decisions about any extra cover you may wish to arrange.
What is included in your man and van removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable van, a trained driver, and the number of movers agreed in your quote. We handle loading, securing items in the vehicle, transporting them to the new address, and unloading into the rooms you specify. Protective equipment such as blankets and straps is included. Optional extras, such as packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling or reassembly of furniture, and additional porters, can be added if needed. All inclusions and any extras are clearly set out in your written quotation.
What’s the difference between a removals service and man and van?
A full removals service usually involves a larger team, bigger vehicles, detailed planning, and often professional packing, ideal for whole-house or large office moves. A man and van service is more flexible and scaled-down, suited to smaller moves, fewer items, or short distances. It’s generally quicker to arrange and more economical for light jobs. With us, both options are professional and fully insured; the main difference is the scale and level of support you choose to match your needs and budget.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend moves or busy periods such as month-end, we recommend booking your man and van in New Malden at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if your dates are fixed. For midweek or off-peak moves, we can often accommodate shorter notice. Even if your dates are not final, it helps to make an initial enquiry so we can pencil you in and offer guidance on preparation. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we have to match your preferred time and any specific access or parking requirements.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with basic details: addresses, property type, approximate contents, dates and any access issues. We use this information to give you an initial estimate and to decide whether a survey is needed.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to see access, staircases, lifts and parking, and to gauge volume accurately. You’ll get a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras, based on the information gathered.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. We supply quality packing materials and use protective covers for mattresses, sofas and other key items. On moving day we protect floors where needed and plan the load order carefully.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your belongings securely, using blankets, straps and appropriate handling techniques for heavy or fragile items. Once everything is on board, we travel directly to your new address, following the agreed route and timings.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new property, we unload room by room, placing items where you want them. We position bulky furniture first, followed by boxes and smaller pieces. Before leaving, we check that everything listed has been delivered and that you’re satisfied with the placement.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Depending on the size and complexity of your move, we may quote:
- A clear fixed price for the full move, based on survey
- Or a hourly rate for smaller, flexible jobs
Your quote will explain what’s included, such as number of movers, size of van, expected hours, mileage, and any additional services like packing. Parking fees, congestion or toll charges are discussed in advance where applicable, so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Use a Professional Removal Van Service Instead of DIY
Hiring a van yourself can seem cheaper, but there are several hidden costs and risks: fuel, deposit, insurance, potential damage to your belongings or property, and the physical strain of lifting heavy items without training.
Choosing a professional removal van service gives you:
- Experienced, trained movers who know how to handle awkward or fragile items
- Proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and protective covers
- Efficient loading and route planning, which often reduces overall time
- Reduced risk of personal injury or damage to walls, doors and stairways
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take responsibility for the moves we carry out. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being transported
- Public liability insurance to cover accidental damage to property during the move
- Trained moving teams who are briefed on safe lifting practices and handling procedures
We work to clear, professional standards: punctual arrival, respectful attitude, sensible loading, and straightforward communication throughout.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move as if it were our own property. Furniture is wrapped where necessary, and items are stacked to avoid crushing or movement in transit. We take extra care with wooden surfaces, glass, electronics and family heirlooms.
Where possible, we use reusable blankets, durable transit covers and responsibly sourced packing materials. We minimise wasted journeys by planning routes efficiently and grouping smaller jobs where it makes sense, helping to reduce our overall environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in New Malden cost?
Costs depend on the size of van required, the number of movers, distance between properties, and how much there is to move. Smaller local moves might be charged at an hourly rate, while full house or office removals are usually priced as a fixed quote following a survey. Your written quotation will outline exactly what is included so there are no surprises. We’re always happy to discuss options to match your budget, such as adjusting the level of packing support or number of trips.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or short-notice removal vans in New Malden. Availability depends on existing bookings, the size of the move and travel distance. For urgent jobs, it helps if you have items packed and ready to load, and can be flexible with times. Contact us as early as you can, explain your situation clearly, and we’ll let you know honestly what we can do that day or the next, along with an upfront price.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our service includes goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they’re in our vehicle, as well as public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property during the move. Insurance has sensible limits and conditions, which we’re happy to explain before you book. We always recommend that you point out particularly fragile or high-value items so we can give them extra protection, and so we can confirm how they’re covered under our policy and any additional arrangements you might need.
What’s included in your removal van service?
Our standard service includes the removal van, a suitable number of trained movers, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We use blankets, straps and basic floor protection where required, and we’ll place items in the rooms you specify. Optional extras include professional packing, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembling certain furniture, and additional drops or collections. Your written quote will list everything that’s included so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
How is a professional removal service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may simply provide a vehicle and one person to help load, often without formal training or proper insurance. A professional removal service, like ours, offers planned moves with trained staff, appropriate insurance, protective equipment and structured processes. We carry out surveys where needed, provide written quotations, and take responsibility for safe handling of your belongings. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs, and generally makes the whole move more efficient and less stressful.
How far in advance should I book a removal van?
For typical house or office moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed date – ideally 2–4 weeks in advance, especially for Fridays and month-end which are often busiest. However, we understand dates can change, so we try to remain flexible where possible. For smaller or local jobs, we can sometimes accommodate bookings at much shorter notice. The more time you give us, the easier it is to reserve the right van and team for your preferred day and time.

Who Our Removal Services Are For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of the area, we handle full household removals, including fragile items, valuable furniture and garden equipment. We can also provide packing support to protect your belongings properly.
Renters
Flats and rented homes often involve awkward access, tight stairwells and strict move-out deadlines. Our team is used to working quickly and respectfully in shared buildings, protecting communal areas and keeping your landlord happy.
Landlords
We assist landlords who need a property cleared between tenancies, including removal of unwanted furniture and organised placement of any retained items. This helps you prepare the property for new occupants promptly and efficiently.
Businesses
From small offices to local shops, we offer business removals that minimise downtime. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock and archives, following an agreed plan so your team can get back to work as quickly as possible.
Students
We regularly help students moving into or out of New Malden, handling smaller loads of personal belongings, study materials and basic furniture. Our service is ideal if you do not have access to a car or want to avoid multiple trips.
What Our Removal Service Includes
Our standard removal services can be tailored to your needs, but typically include:
- Collection and delivery between any UK addresses
- Loading and unloading by trained movers
- Protective blankets, straps and trolleys as standard
- Careful handling of furniture, appliances and boxed items
- Basic disassembly and reassembly of standard furniture (by arrangement)
- Placement of items into the rooms you specify at your new property

If you are unsure about a particular item, please ask when you enquire and we will advise on suitable options.
Our Step-by-Step Removal Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the details of your move – addresses, dates, property size and any special requirements. We ask a few practical questions and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume of goods, access conditions and distance.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves, we carry out a short survey, either by video call or by visiting your property. This allows us to assess access, parking, staircases and the volume of items accurately, ensuring we send the right size vehicle and team on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack your own belongings or add our packing service. If we are packing, we arrive with quality boxes and materials, carefully wrapping fragile items and clearly labelling everything to make unloading and placement straightforward.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, protects floors and walls where needed, and loads your belongings systematically. Everything is secured inside the vehicle using blankets and straps before we travel via the most suitable route.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any agreed furniture and check that you are happy with the positioning before we leave. Our goal is to leave you with a functional, safe living or working space, not just a pile of boxes.
Transparent and Fair Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will be based on:
- Size of the move (volume of items and number of rooms)
- Travel distance between properties
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
- Number of movers required
- Optional services such as packing or furniture assembly
All costs are explained upfront in writing. If your requirements change before moving day, we simply update the quote so you always know where you stand.
Why Choose Professional Removal Services Over DIY
Hiring a professional removal service in New Malden is often more efficient and cost-effective than trying to do everything yourself or relying on an unregulated casual man-and-van. We bring the correct equipment, insurance cover, and experienced staff who know how to handle awkward, heavy and fragile items safely.
DIY moves frequently involve multiple trips, damaged belongings, strained relationships and potential injuries. Our service reduces the physical effort and risk, allowing you to focus on the paperwork, utilities and other important parts of your move.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your possessions are important, both financially and emotionally. We take that responsibility seriously.
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for peace of mind at both properties
- Trained moving teams who understand safe lifting, packing and loading techniques
- Regularly maintained, clean vehicles suitable for household and office moves
Full details of our cover are available on request, and we are happy to explain how it applies to your particular move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped and protected, boxes are stacked sensibly, and fragile goods are clearly marked and handled with extra care. We use high-quality protective blankets, straps and trolleys as standard.
Where possible, we use reusable packing materials and avoid unnecessary waste. Boxes can often be reused for multiple moves, and we encourage customers to recycle or repurpose materials after their move. Efficient route planning and sensible scheduling help us reduce fuel use and environmental impact.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House Within New Malden
For local moves, we can often complete everything in a single day, from loading first thing in the morning to having you settled into your new home by evening. Our team manages access, parking and timing around key handovers.
Office Relocations
We work closely with business owners and managers to plan office moves outside core trading hours where possible. Equipment is labelled and placed according to your floor plan so staff can resume work with minimal disruption.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Sometimes moves happen unexpectedly – a change in completion date, a tenancy ending sooner than planned, or an urgent clearance requirement. Where availability allows, we can offer same-day or next-day removal services in New Malden and nearby areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in New Malden cost?
The cost depends on the size of your move, distance between properties, access conditions and any additional services such as packing. Smaller flat moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. To give you an accurate figure, we ask a few questions and, for bigger jobs, may carry out a short survey. There are no hidden charges, and all costs are explained clearly before you commit.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent moves in and around New Malden, depending on existing bookings and the size of the job. If you need short-notice assistance, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details of your move. We will check vehicle and staff availability, then confirm what is realistically achievable. While we cannot guarantee every emergency request, we do our best to offer practical solutions or alternative dates if same-day is not feasible.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being transported between properties, along with public liability cover for added protection at both addresses. This insurance is designed to sit alongside your own home or business contents policy. We handle your items with great care, but insurance provides a safety net in the unlikely event of an incident. Full details of cover limits and conditions are available on request before you book.
What is included in your removal service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your belongings between addresses, along with basic protection such as blankets, straps and trolleys. We place items into the rooms you specify and can carry out simple furniture disassembly and reassembly by prior arrangement. You can add optional extras such as packing services if you prefer us to pack your items for you. We do not normally handle hazardous materials, live animals or specialist machinery without prior discussion.
How is a professional removal service different from a casual man-and-van?
A professional removal service like ours offers trained staff, appropriate insurance, proper equipment and a structured approach to planning and carrying out your move. Casual man-and-van operators may not have insurance, may use unsuitable vehicles and might not be experienced in handling heavier or fragile items. While a basic man-and-van can be adequate for very small, simple moves, most households and businesses benefit from the added security, reliability and accountability of a regulated, fully insured removals provider.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking your removal service as soon as you have a confirmed moving date – ideally two to four weeks in advance for standard home moves. Peak periods such as Fridays, month-end and school holidays can fill up quickly. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter notice bookings where our schedule allows. If your date is not yet fixed, we can still provide a provisional quote and then confirm availability once your plans are finalised.

At Man and Van New Malden, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions in New Malden for households and businesses who need extra space, short or long term. As a local removals and storage company, we combine safe, monitored facilities with a careful, professional removals service to move and protect your belongings from door to store and back again.
Our New Malden Storage Service Explained
Our storage service is designed for people who want their items collected, protected and stored without hassle. We collect from your home, office or flat, wrap and protect your goods, transport them in our clean, sign‑written vans and place them into secure storage units.
You can choose from:
- Short-term storage – ideal between moves, during refurbishments or while decorating
- Long-term storage – for items you rarely need but don’t want to sell or dispose of
- Business storage – for stock, archives, office furniture or equipment
- Student storage – for term-time or holiday storage of personal belongings
We handle the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to hire a van, find helpers or worry about packing correctly.
Local Storage Expertise in New Malden
We are a local New Malden company that knows the area, traffic patterns and local properties inside out. Whether you live in a Victorian terrace near the high street, a flat in a modern development, or manage a shop or office nearby, we understand the access challenges and parking restrictions typical to New Malden and surrounding areas.
Because we’re close by, we can offer flexible collections, short-notice bookings where possible, and practical advice based on years of working with New Malden residents and businesses.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you’re decluttering before a sale, renovating, or between properties. We’ll safely store furniture, white goods, boxes and cherished possessions until your new home is ready.
Renters
If your tenancy dates don’t line up or you’re downsizing, storage allows you to keep what you love without overcrowding your new place. We can collect directly from flats with stair or lift access.
Landlords
Use our storage when changing tenants, refurbishing or converting properties. We store furniture, appliances and fixtures safely while works are carried out, then return them when you’re ready.
Businesses
Ideal for office moves, seasonal stock, archive boxes or spare furniture. Our professional team can dismantle desks and shelving, pack IT equipment securely and place everything into storage in an organised way for easy retrieval.
Students
Students in and around New Malden can store belongings over the summer or during a placement year. We collect from halls or shared houses, store securely and deliver back when you return.
What We Can and Can’t Store
Items Typically Included
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware and personal items
- Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other appliances (defrosted and drained)
- Office furniture, filing cabinets and shelving
- Business stock (boxed and labelled)
- Bicycles, sports equipment and hobby items
Items We Cannot Store
For safety and insurance reasons, we are unable to store:
- Perishable goods and food items
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (e.g. fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals)
- Illegal goods or items obtained unlawfully
- Animals or plants
- Cash and high-value jewellery (we advise using a bank or safe deposit service)
- Unregistered firearms or weapons
If you are unsure whether we can store an item, ask us during your enquiry and we’ll advise.
Our Step-by-Step Storage and Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of what you need to store, approximate quantities, addresses and dates. We’ll discuss your situation, answer questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery options.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex jobs, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or in person. We assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and the volume of goods so we can allocate the right size vehicle, number of movers and storage space.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or choose our packing service. Our trained team can supply materials and carefully pack fragile items, wrap furniture in protective covers and secure appliances. We label boxes clearly to make retrieval or redelivery straightforward.
4. Loading & Transport
On the agreed day, our trained movers arrive on time, protect floors and walls where needed, and load your belongings safely into our vans. Everything is secured for transport, then driven straight to our storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement into Storage
At the storage facility, we unload and stack items methodically, using protective blankets and coverings. Your furniture and boxes are placed in your allocated storage space, ready for redelivery when you need them. When the time comes, we reverse the process and deliver back to your chosen address, placing items in the rooms you specify.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will typically include:
- Collection: vehicle, fuel and labour for loading
- Storage: a weekly or monthly rate based on the volume of goods and duration
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Redelivery from storage to your new or existing address
Prices vary according to access, volume, distance and how long you need storage. We’ll always explain your options so you can choose what best suits your budget. If your circumstances change, we’ll work with you to adjust your storage term where possible.
Why Use Professional Storage and Removals Instead of DIY?
Hiring a cheap van or asking friends may seem appealing, but there are real risks: damage to belongings, injury from heavy lifting, poor packing, and no insurance if something goes wrong. With a professional removals and storage company, you benefit from:
- Trained teams who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
- Proper vehicles with securing points, blankets and equipment
- Co-ordinated collection and storage, rather than juggling separate services
- Time saved, reduced stress and fewer trips back and forth
In many cases, using professionals costs less than multiple DIY trips when you factor in time, fuel and potential damage.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take the security and safety of your belongings seriously. Man and Van New Malden is:
- Fully insured with goods in transit insurance for items we carry
- Covered by public liability insurance for work on your premises
- Staffed by trained, experienced movers using proper lifting techniques
Our storage facilities feature monitored access and robust security measures. We can explain the limits and conditions of our cover before you book, so you know exactly where you stand and can arrange any additional cover for exceptionally high-value items if necessary.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are bagged where required, and fragile items are properly cushioned. We use reusable blankets and re-usable protective materials wherever possible to reduce waste.
Where we do use cardboard and plastics, we aim to source responsibly and recycle at the end of their life. Our route planning is designed to minimise unnecessary mileage, helping to lower emissions while still providing a reliable service across New Malden and nearby areas.
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Completion dates rarely line up perfectly. Our storage service bridges the gap, keeping your household contents safe between moving out and moving in. We can collect from your old home and deliver to your new property when you get the keys.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need temporary storage during refits or relocations. We can remove surplus furniture, stock or documents, store them securely and return them once your new layout is ready, helping you keep operations running smoothly.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Sometimes a tenancy ends suddenly or building works overrun. Subject to availability, we can arrange swift collection and storage at short notice, giving you breathing space to plan your next steps without rushing decisions about your belongings.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage with collection cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much you’re storing, how long for, and how complex the collection is. We usually combine a one-off collection fee (vehicle, fuel and labour) with a weekly or monthly storage rate based on volume. Redelivery is priced separately so you can decide when and where you want items returned. Once we know what you have and your access details, we’ll provide a clear written quote with all charges explained so you can budget with confidence.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in New Malden?
Where our schedule allows, we can often provide same-day or urgent storage collections in New Malden and nearby areas. This is especially useful if a move falls through, you have to vacate a property quickly, or building work is delayed. The more information you can give us when you call, the faster we can assess vehicle and team availability. While we can’t guarantee same-day slots every time, we will always do our best to accommodate urgent requests or offer the earliest alternative.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and transit?
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance for items we move and public liability cover for work at your property. While in storage, your items are protected within our secure facility, and our standard cover applies under the terms we’ll explain before you book. Insurance typically covers loss or damage arising from defined events, but not poor packing done by customers or pre-existing damage. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional specialised cover to ensure you’re fully protected.
What is included in your storage and removals service?
Our service normally includes collection from your address, loading by our professional team, transport in our equipped vehicles, and secure storage of your goods. We can also provide packing materials, a full or partial packing service, dismantling and reassembly of standard furniture, and redelivery from storage to your chosen address. Your quote will set out exactly what is included so you can see what we’re providing and choose any add-ons you need, such as extra packing help or timed delivery slots at the end of storage.
How does your service differ from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited or no insurance, no storage facilities and varying standards of care. Our service combines fully insured removals with secure storage, trained staff, proper equipment and a structured process from survey to redelivery. We handle planning, protection, loading, inventory and safe placement into storage. This reduces the chance of damage or loss, and gives you a single, accountable point of contact for your move and storage, rather than piecing together transport and storage separately.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we’ll always try to help with shorter notice where our schedule allows. If you know you’ll need storage but don’t have exact dates yet, we can give you an outline quote and hold provisional slots, then confirm details once your plans are finalised.
Packing and Boxes
Packing and Boxes in New Malden by Man and Van New Malden
At Man and Van New Malden, our dedicated Packing and Boxes service is designed to take the stress, risk and hassle out of getting ready for moving day. With years of hands-on experience in New Malden and the surrounding areas, we know exactly how to protect your belongings so they arrive in the same condition they left.
Professional Packing and Boxes Service Explained
Our packing service covers everything from supplying the right cartons to carefully wrapping your most fragile items. We use strong, double-walled removal boxes, high-grade tape, paper and bubble wrap, and we label every box clearly for each room. Whether you need a full pack of your whole property or just help with breakables, we tailor the service to your needs.
Your move can be combined with our local removals, or you can book packing as a stand‑alone service if you already have transport arranged. Either way, your items are handled by trained, professional packers who understand how to protect goods in transit.
Local Packing Expertise in New Malden
Working day in, day out in New Malden means we understand the type of homes, access issues and typical move patterns in the area. From Victorian terraces and maisonettes off the High Street to modern flats and family houses around Coombe and Motspur Park, we know how to plan packing so that loading and unloading are smooth and efficient.
We also understand building rules, parking restrictions and lift access in many local blocks, so we can schedule our packing and box deliveries at times that minimise disruption to you and your neighbours.
Who Our Packing and Boxes Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re selling and moving out of a house in New Malden, we can provide a full packing service, including garage, loft and shed, so you can focus on your sale and paperwork instead of living in a sea of half-packed boxes.
Renters
Whether you’re in a studio flat or a larger rented property, we pack efficiently and discreetly, helping you avoid damage disputes with landlords by protecting walls, floors and fixtures while we work.
Landlords
For landlords who need contents removed between tenancies, we offer swift, organised packing, inventory labelling and separation of items for storage, disposal or relocation to another property.
Businesses
Our packers can handle office packing, archives, stock and IT equipment. We label by department or workstation so your team can get back up and running quickly at the new site.
Students
Students moving in or out of New Malden accommodation can benefit from our small-move packing option. We provide boxes and pack your room contents securely for short- or long-term moves.
What’s Included in Our Packing and Boxes Service
Items We Typically Pack
- Household contents: clothing, books, toys, ornaments and general items
- Kitchenware: plates, glasses, cookware, small appliances

- Livestock and pets (we can advise on specialist services)
- High-value jewellery, cash, important personal documents (we recommend you carry these yourself)
- Illegal or prohibited items under UK law
If you are unsure about a specific item, we are happy to advise before packing day.
Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Man and Van New Malden by phone or online with the details of your move. We’ll ask about property size, number of rooms, special items and your preferred dates. Based on this, we provide a clear written estimate, outlining packing options from full-house packing to fragile-only assistance.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volumes accurately, understand access, and identify fragile or valuable items needing special care. Accurate surveys mean fewer surprises on the day and the right number of boxes and packing materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
On your scheduled packing day, our trained team arrives with all materials. We systematically pack room by room, wrapping fragile items, dismantling furniture where needed, and labelling boxes clearly. If you prefer, we can pack one day and move the next, reducing disruption and keeping essential items accessible until the last moment.
4. Loading & Transport
If you use our removals service alongside packing, we carefully load the packed boxes and furniture into our vehicles, using blankets and straps to keep everything stable. Our vehicles are purpose-equipped for removals, and your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while they’re on the road.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload and place boxes into the correct rooms using the labels created during packing. We can reassemble furniture we dismantled and position larger items where you want them. This structured approach makes unpacking much easier and faster for you.
Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in New Malden
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our packing quotes are based on:
- Volume of contents (property size and number of rooms)
- Level of service (full packing, part packing, fragile-only)
- Number of packers required and time on site
- Quantity and type of packing materials supplied
We’ll explain what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden fees for standard materials and labour agreed in the quote. Any additional services you request on the day are always discussed and authorised before we proceed.
Why Choose Professional Packing Over DIY
Many people start packing themselves, then realise how time‑consuming and physically demanding it can be. Professional packing has several advantages:
- Experienced packers know how to protect delicate items and maximise space safely.
- We use quality materials designed for moving, not supermarket boxes that may collapse.
- Proper packing reduces the risk of breakages and claims, especially on longer moves.
- We work quickly and systematically, often completing in a day what might take you a week.
Compared to a casual man‑and‑van, you benefit from trained staff, fully insured operations and carefully planned packing, not just transport.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van New Malden operates to recognised industry standards for domestic and small commercial moves. We hold appropriate goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they’re being transported and public liability cover for work carried out on your premises.
Our team members are trained in safe lifting techniques, correct packing methods and handling of fragile items. We work to agreed arrival windows, maintain clear communication and treat your home or office with respect at all times.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Our priority is to move your possessions safely while minimising waste and environmental impact. We use sturdy, reusable crates when appropriate and encourage the re‑use or return of boxes where possible. Protective materials are chosen for both performance and sustainability, and we avoid excessive plastic where a suitable alternative exists.
Floors, banisters and doorways are protected during packing and moving to reduce the risk of marks or damage. We tidy as we go, keeping your property safe and clutter‑free.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Packing and Boxes Service
Moving House in New Malden
Families and individuals rely on us to pack entire homes before moving locally or further afield. We can pack the day before completion, leaving you with essentials only, then finish off on move day if required.
Office and Business Relocations
For small to medium offices, we plan packing around your trading hours, often working in phases or outside normal hours. Desks, files and equipment are tagged and boxed logically so your staff can find what they need immediately after the move.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
When time is tight, our team can step in and complete a full pack at short notice, subject to availability. This is especially helpful for landlords, tenants facing unexpected notice periods, or businesses needing to vacate premises quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does professional packing and boxes cost?
The cost depends on the size of your property, how much you want us to pack, and the materials required. For a small flat, fragile-only packing may be relatively modest, while a full pack of a larger house will take more time and materials. We provide a clear written quote after discussing your needs or carrying out a survey. This quote lists labour and materials separately so you can see exactly where your money goes and adjust the level of service if needed.
Can you offer same-day or urgent packing in New Malden?
In many cases we can help with short-notice or urgent packing, particularly on weekdays outside peak periods. Same-day service depends on crew and vehicle availability, as we never overbook or compromise on safe working practices. If you need urgent help, contact us as early as possible with your address, size of property and required move date. We’ll confirm what we can realistically achieve, provide a rapid quote, and prioritise key areas so your move can still go ahead smoothly.
Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?
Yes. While your items are being transported in our vehicles, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to our standard terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for work carried out in your home or business premises. Our packing methods are designed to minimise the risk of damage, but if something does go wrong, we follow a clear claims process. We are happy to explain the cover in detail before you book so you understand exactly how your belongings are protected.
What is included in your packing and boxes service?
Our service typically includes supply of suitable removal boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape and labels, plus the labour of our professional packers to pack the items you’ve agreed with us. We label boxes by room and contents, and when combined with our removals, we also protect furniture with covers and blankets. Excluded items include hazardous materials, pets, high‑value jewellery and important personal documents, which we recommend you move yourself. Any dismantling or reassembly of furniture can be added as an extra service if needed.
What’s the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van usually provides transport and lifting only, often with limited insurance and no formal training. Our service is a complete removals and packing solution delivered by trained, fully insured staff using proper materials and vehicles. We plan your move, carry out surveys where required, pack your belongings securely, and manage loading and unloading in a structured way. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, giving you a smoother, more predictable experience from start to finish.
How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?
For the best choice of dates, especially at month‑end and during summer, we recommend booking as soon as you know your likely move window, ideally two to four weeks in advance. That said, we understand that completion dates can change, so we keep our scheduling as flexible as possible. If your move is sooner, still get in touch – we often have midweek or short‑notice availability. Once booked, we’ll confirm your packing date(s), arrival window and any specific instructions in writing so you can plan around us.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: current address, destination, size of office, key dates and any time restrictions. We discuss your requirements, answer initial questions and provide an outline estimate. For smaller moves, this may be enough to give a firm quote straight away.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most office removals, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, lift usage, staircases and the volume of items. We also talk through IT equipment, dismantling needs and any building rules. Following the survey, you receive a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden extras.
3. Packing & Preparation
We can provide a full packing service or supply materials if you prefer to pack yourselves. Options include:
- Full packing of desks, files and equipment
- Part packing for IT and fragile items only
- Delivery of crates, boxes and labels for your team to use
We label everything clearly by department, room or workstation so it can be set up quickly at the new location.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained, uniformed team arrives at the agreed time. We protect floors, walls and lifts as required, then carefully load your furniture and equipment using trolleys and ramps. Everything is securely strapped and protected inside our vehicles. We then travel directly to your new office, following the most efficient route.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new premises, we unload and place items according to your office plan. Desks and furniture are reassembled where agreed. We can position crates and boxes by team or department, helping your staff get back to work quickly. Once the move is complete, we perform a final walk-through with you to ensure everything is in the right place.
Transparent Pricing for Office Removals
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our office removals in New Malden are typically priced based on:
- Volume of furniture and equipment
- Distance between addresses
- Access, stairs, lifts and parking restrictions
- Number of movers and vehicles required
- Whether packing materials and packing services are included
- Any out-of-hours or weekend working
Your written quote will explain exactly what is included, along with any optional extras, so you can budget with confidence.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY
Trying to move an office with borrowed vans and untrained help can quickly become stressful, risky and time-consuming. By using a professional removals company like Man and Van New Malden, you benefit from:
- Experienced planners who understand the logistics of business moves
- Trained moving teams who know how to handle heavy and delicate items safely
- Fully insured vehicles and operations for peace of mind
- Efficient packing, loading and unloading to reduce downtime
- Correct equipment, from sack trucks to furniture blankets and straps
The cost difference is often outweighed by the time saved and the reduced risk of damage or staff injury.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your business assets are valuable. We protect them with robust insurance and professional working practices:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your furniture and equipment while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises
- Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting and handling procedures
We work to recognised industry standards for wrapping, packing and loading, and we take the time to assess any higher-risk items before we move them.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Careful handling is at the heart of what we do. We use:
- Protective blankets, shrink-wrap and covers for furniture
- Monitor covers and anti-static protection for IT equipment
- Floor and wall protection where required
We also take a responsible approach to the environment by reusing durable crates where possible, recycling materials and planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage.
Typical Office Removals Use Cases
Moving to a Larger Office
Growing businesses in New Malden often need more space. We help by relocating staff, desks and IT equipment to larger offices, ensuring departments are kept together and downtime is kept to a minimum.
Consolidating or Downsizing
If you are reducing your footprint or moving to flexible working, we can help you move to a smaller office, take items to storage, or redistribute furniture between sites.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes leases change or building issues make a fast move necessary. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice office removals, working efficiently to get you settled quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in New Malden cost?
The cost depends on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, the distance between locations and the level of service required. A small office move within New Malden may be priced on a straightforward fixed fee, while larger or multi-floor moves are usually based on the number of movers, vehicles and hours required. After a survey, we provide a clear, written quotation with all likely costs detailed, so there are no surprises on move day.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
Where our diary allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice office removals in and around New Malden. The more notice you can give, the easier it is for us to allocate the right team and vehicles, but we understand that urgent situations do arise. Contact us as soon as you are aware of the need to move, and we will explain what is realistic, how quickly we can attend, and any steps you can take to speed up the process.
What insurance cover do you provide?
We provide goods in transit insurance for your office furniture and equipment while they are being transported, and public liability cover for work on your premises. Our aim is to give you confidence that your assets are protected throughout the move. We are always happy to explain the key points of our cover and, if required, can provide confirmation documents for your landlord, building manager or head office before the move takes place.
What is included in your office removals service?
Our standard service includes the supply of a professional team, vehicles, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading at your new office. We place items into the correct rooms or areas according to your instructions. Optional extras include packing materials, a full or part packing service, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and out-of-hours or weekend moves. Everything that is covered will be listed clearly in your quotation, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How is a professional office removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service is usually designed for small, simple moves and may not include planning, insurance or enough manpower for a business relocation. Our office removals service is delivered by trained staff, with fully insured vehicles and a structured process. We assess access, building rules and IT requirements, supply the right equipment and manage the move from start to finish. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disruption to your business operations.
How far in advance should we book our office move?
For most office moves, booking 2–4 weeks in advance is ideal, especially if you need a specific date or weekend slot. Larger or more complex relocations may require a longer planning period so we can coordinate surveys, packing and building access. That said, we will always try to help with shorter notice where possible. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of dates and the level of support available.

4. Loading & Transport
Our trained movers load your belongings methodically, protecting furniture with blankets and securing items with straps to prevent movement in transit. We plan the route from New Malden carefully, taking into account traffic, height restrictions and any time windows for access at your destination.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just to the doorstep. We can place furniture where you want it and reassemble agreed items such as beds or tables. Before we leave, we check that everything listed has been unloaded and that you are satisfied with the placement.

Small offices and shops in and around New Malden call on us to relocate desks, chairs, stock and IT equipment. We can work outside normal hours to minimise disruption, and we take particular care with computers and monitors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with a van cost in New Malden?
Pricing depends mainly on time, distance and how many movers you need. We usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, plus any parking, tolls or congestion charges at cost. For simple moves within New Malden, we can often give a fairly accurate estimate in advance based on your item list and access details. Larger or more complex jobs may need a short survey. All quotes are clear and itemised, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you book.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man with a van bookings?
Yes, we can often provide same-day or short-notice man with a van services in New Malden, depending on our existing bookings. The best approach is to call us as soon as you know you need help, with addresses, rough inventory and preferred times. We’ll check vehicle and staff availability and give you a realistic arrival window. Urgent bookings are handled with the same level of care and protection as planned moves, but we may have slightly less flexibility on exact times due to existing commitments.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our man with a van service is backed by goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our care, and public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. We’ll explain the policy limits, any exclusions and how to list particularly valuable items. Insurance is there as a safety net; our primary focus is preventing damage in the first place through proper packing, careful loading and secure transport. If you have high-value or unusual items, please mention them when requesting your quote.
What is included in your man with a van service?
Our standard service includes a professional driver-mover, a suitable van, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We supply blankets and securing straps as standard, and basic tools for agreed furniture disassembly. Optional extras include additional movers, packing services and packing materials, plus short or long-term storage if required. Parking fees and congestion or clean air charges are charged at cost and always discussed in advance. You won’t be left lifting heavy furniture alone – the whole idea is to provide a safe, supported move.
How is a professional man with a van different from a casual service?
A professional man with a van service, like ours in New Malden, combines flexibility with the standards of a removals company. You get trained staff, fully insured transport, proper equipment and clear paperwork. Casual services found through online ads may be cheap initially, but often lack insurance, reliability and experience, which can quickly become costly if something goes wrong. We carry out risk assessments, plan routes, protect your property and offer clear communication throughout, so you have confidence your move will run smoothly from start to finish.
How far in advance should I book?
For a planned move, we recommend booking your man with a van in New Malden 1–2 weeks in advance, especially for weekends or month-end dates, which are often busiest. This gives us time to arrange surveys if needed, reserve the right vehicle and organise parking where necessary. That said, we regularly accommodate short-notice moves when our schedule allows. Even if your dates are not fixed, it’s worth contacting us early to discuss options and pencil in a provisional slot.
