Professional House Removals in Hammersmith
Our house removals service covers everything from a small flat move to a large family home. We combine local route knowledge with a methodical approach to packing, loading and transport. Every move is handled by a trained, uniformed and fully insured team who treat your belongings and your property with respect.

Who Our House Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
From terraced homes off King Street to larger properties near the river, we regularly help homeowners move in and out of Hammersmith. We can scale up the crew and vehicle size to handle full-house moves efficiently in a single day wherever possible.
Renters
If you're moving from one rented flat to another, we work around building rules, lift access and tight stairwells. We protect communal areas, keep noise to a minimum and stick to agreed time slots so you stay on good terms with landlords and neighbours.
Landlords
Landlords and managing agents use our professional removals service for clear-outs between tenancies, part-furnished removals and storage moves. We can remove furniture, white goods and boxed items quickly and safely, providing basic item lists where needed.
Businesses
Small offices and local businesses in Hammersmith often need practical help moving equipment, documents and furniture. Our team can carry out office removals outside your core trading hours to reduce disruption to staff and customers.
Students
We regularly help students move to and from halls and shared houses. Our small removals options are ideal for room moves, with pricing and vehicle sizes suited to smaller loads while still offering the benefit of trained, careful movers.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
It starts with a simple call or online enquiry. We ask key questions about your current property, destination, approximate volume of belongings, access, dates and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear written estimate with no hidden extras, outlining what is and isn’t included so you can make an informed decision.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or in person in Hammersmith and nearby areas. We measure up, check access (stairs, lifts, parking restrictions), note fragile or awkward items and confirm your preferred moving date. This step allows us to allocate the right team, vehicle size and equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer flexible options:
- Full packing service – our trained packers wrap and pack everything, supplying all materials.
- Part packing – we handle fragile items such as glassware, artwork and electronics.
- Self-packing – you pack, and we supply boxes and materials if required.
On moving day, we protect floors, bannisters and doors as needed, and prepare furniture for safe transport by dismantling agreed items.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional moving team loads the vehicle systematically, securing everything with blankets, straps and covers. We plan the route using our local knowledge of Hammersmith’s roads, bus lanes and typical traffic patterns. Your belongings are transported in fully insured, regularly maintained vehicles with appropriate load restraint and protective equipment.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we place each item in the rooms you specify, assembling agreed furniture and positioning heavier items first so you can start settling in. We work through a simple checklist with you before we leave, so you can confirm that everything has been unloaded and is where you need it.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals
Our pricing is clear and based on practical factors such as volume of goods, distance, access difficulty, packing requirements and the size of team needed. We explain exactly what is included in your quote and highlight any potential additional costs in advance, such as parking charges or out-of-hours work if requested.
We do not offer unrealistically low headline prices followed by surprise add-ons. Instead, we provide fair, transparent rates that reflect a professional, fully insured service delivered by experienced staff. For larger moves, we often recommend a survey so we can give you a firm price rather than a broad estimate.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Moving yourself or using an informal man-and-van may appear cheaper, but it often means more risk and stress. With Hammersmith Movers, you benefit from:
- Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for your peace of mind
- Proper vehicles with the right equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys and covers
- Reliable timing and clear communication if plans change
- Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and your property
DIY moves can lead to injuries, damaged furniture and extra trips. A casual man-and-van may not be insured, trained or available if anything goes wrong. A professional removals team provides structure, accountability and protection from start to finish.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to clear standards designed to protect you and your belongings.
Goods in Transit Insurance
Your belongings are covered by goods in transit insurance while they are in our care, subject to the terms and limits explained in your quote. This gives you financial protection in the unlikely event of loss or damage arising from an insured risk during loading, transport or unloading.
Public Liability Cover
We also carry public liability cover, which protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury to others caused by our work. This is an important safeguard, especially in shared buildings and busy streets around Hammersmith.
Trained Moving Teams
Our crews are trained in safe lifting, packing techniques, vehicle loading and customer care. We supervise new staff closely and keep standards consistent across the team. Uniformed movers, clear communication and respect for your home are all part of the service.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your possessions as if they were our own. On moving day, we use protective materials to shield furniture and property surfaces. Fragile items are wrapped individually, and we load methodically to prevent movement in transit.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible, we reuse durable packing materials, offer crate hire instead of single-use boxes, and plan efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage. When clearing unwanted items, we can direct you towards local recycling and donation options rather than landfill wherever practical.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House Within Hammersmith
Many of our clients move just a few streets away. We plan local moves to minimise disruption, often completing packing and moving on the same day for smaller properties. Our knowledge of local parking rules and building layouts helps prevent delays.
Office and Small Business Relocations
For local businesses, we can move you from one office or shop unit to another with minimal downtime. We label and position furniture and equipment according to your floor plan, and can schedule the move outside trading hours to keep your operations running smoothly.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Occasionally, circumstances change quickly – a tenancy ends sooner than expected, or a completion date shifts. When our schedule allows, we offer urgent removals and short-notice bookings in Hammersmith. While advance booking is always best, we will give you an honest answer about our availability and realistic timescales.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house removals in Hammersmith cost?
Costs depend mainly on the volume of your belongings, the distance between properties, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and whether you need packing services. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis with a minimum charge, while larger house moves are usually quoted as a fixed price after a survey. We always provide a clear written estimate before you book, explaining what is included and highlighting any potential additional charges, such as congestion or parking fees where applicable.
Can you do same-day or urgent removals?
We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice removals in Hammersmith, depending on our schedule and the size of your move. Smaller flat or room moves are usually easier to arrange quickly than full-house relocations. If you need an urgent move, contact us as soon as possible with details of your property, access and preferred timing. We will give you an honest assessment of what we can achieve safely within the time available, along with a clear price for the service.
What insurance cover is included with your removals?
Our service includes goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved by us, subject to policy limits and standard exclusions, which we explain in writing. We also carry public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property or injury caused by our work. These insurances are designed to protect you in the unlikely event of a problem. We recommend that you also keep your own home contents insurance active until the move is fully complete, for additional peace of mind.
What exactly is included in your removals service?
As standard, our service includes supplying a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We can also dismantle and reassemble basic furniture where agreed in advance. Optional extras include full packing, fragile packing, packing materials supply and temporary storage. We do not disconnect or reconnect gas or hard-wired appliances, and we do not move prohibited or hazardous items. Your written quote will clearly list what is and is not included for your specific move.
How is a professional removals company different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals company provides trained staff, appropriate vehicles, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and structured processes for planning and carrying out your move. Crews are experienced in handling heavy and fragile items safely, protecting both your belongings and your property. A casual man-and-van may be cheaper, but often lacks formal training, adequate insurance and reliable backup if something goes wrong. For anything more than a very small, low-risk move, a professional removals service significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected problems.
How far in advance should I book my house removal?
For a smoother experience, we recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, ideally two to four weeks in advance for busy periods such as month-end and summer. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, plan parking and arrange any packing services. That said, we understand that dates can change at short notice. If your plans move forward or backward, contact us as early as possible and we will do our best to adjust your booking or find a suitable alternative slot.
