Removal Companies in Hammersmith – Hammersmith Movers
At Hammersmith Movers, we provide a complete removals service for homes and businesses across Hammersmith and the surrounding West London area. With years of hands-on experience, local knowledge and fully trained crews, we make moving day straightforward, organised and as stress-free as possible.
Professional Removals Service in Hammersmith
We handle every stage of your move: from the first enquiry and survey, through careful packing and protection, to safe transport and placement of your belongings in your new property. Our teams are professional, fully insured and used to working in Hammersmith’s busy streets, mansion blocks and period terraces.
Whether you are moving a studio flat, a large family home, or a full office, we plan your move in detail so everything runs smoothly on the day.
Local Expertise in Hammersmith
Operating daily in Hammersmith gives us a strong understanding of local buildings, parking restrictions and access challenges. We regularly work in Victorian terraces, riverside apartments, mansion blocks around Brook Green, and commercial premises near Hammersmith Broadway and King Street.
We liaise with you in advance about permits, loading bays and building management rules, so there are no surprises on the day. Our drivers know the local routes well, helping to avoid unnecessary delays and keeping your move on schedule.
Who Our Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we manage full house moves with careful planning. From fragile heirlooms to garden equipment, we ensure everything is protected and clearly labelled for easy unpacking.
Renters
Flat and house moves for tenants often have tight timings and strict check-out conditions. We can coordinate with your cleaning and inventory appointments, and offer flexible smaller moves that suit renters moving within or into Hammersmith.
Landlords
We assist landlords with clearing properties between tenancies, moving furniture in or out, and storing items if required. Our teams work efficiently to prepare your property for new tenants as quickly as possible.
Businesses
We support small and medium-sized businesses with office moves, internal reshuffles and relocations to or from Hammersmith. We move desks, chairs, IT equipment, files and stock with minimal downtime, including out-of-hours moves if needed.
Students
We provide affordable, smaller moves for students coming to or leaving Hammersmith, including term-time storage solutions and shared house moves. Even if you only have a few items, we can help.
What Our Removals Service Includes
Our standard removals service typically covers:
- Furniture of all sizes – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (subject to being disconnected)
- Personal belongings – clothes, books, kitchenware, ornaments
- Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment (safely wrapped)
- Boxes and containers – clearly labelled and stacked securely
- Office equipment – desks, filing cabinets, stock and archives
We can also provide a full packing service using quality materials, or supply materials if you prefer to pack yourself.
Items We Cannot Move
For safety and legal reasons, there are some items we normally cannot transport:
- Hazardous materials – petrol, gas cylinders, paint thinners, chemicals
- Illegal or controlled items
- Perishable food for long-distance or overnight moves
- Animals or pets (these must travel with you or a specialist carrier)
- High-value items such as jewellery, cash or important documents (we advise you to carry these personally)
If you are unsure about any specific item, we will happily advise during your survey.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or our online form. We ask a few straightforward questions about your current and new properties, what needs moving and your preferred dates. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate and propose the most suitable level of service.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
To give you an accurate fixed price, we arrange a survey. This can be virtual via video call or an onsite visit in Hammersmith. We assess access, parking, number of rooms, special items (such as pianos or antiques) and any dismantling or reassembly required. After the survey, we send a written quote with a clear breakdown of costs.
3. Packing & Preparation
Before moving day, you can choose between:
- Full packing service – we pack everything for you using strong boxes, wrapping and protection for fragile items.
- Part packing – we only pack breakables or specific rooms.
- Self-packing – you pack your own items; we supply materials on request.
We also plan any furniture dismantling and ensure everything is ready for a smooth load.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time, protects floors and key walkways, and carefully loads your belongings onto our vehicles. Items are wrapped, strapped and stacked securely. We then transport everything directly to your new address, using appropriate routes to avoid unnecessary delays.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload systematically, placing boxes and furniture into the correct rooms as directed. We reassemble any furniture agreed in advance and position larger items so you can settle in more quickly. Once finished, we carry out a final check with you before leaving.
Transparent Pricing & How Costs Are Calculated
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. The cost of your move is based on:
- Volume of items to be moved
- Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
- Travel distance between addresses
- Level of service – packing, dismantling/reassembly, materials
- Timing – weekday, weekend or out-of-hours requirements
Your written quote will set out exactly what is included, so you know where you stand. There are no hidden charges; any potential additional costs (for example, if parking cannot be obtained) are explained in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Attempting a move yourself, or hiring a casual man-and-van, can appear cheaper at first glance but often leads to more stress, delays and risk. As a professional removals company, we provide:
- Trained crews who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
- Appropriate vehicles with equipment, blankets and straps
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Written quotes, confirmed dates and reliable timekeeping
- Clear responsibility for your belongings from start to finish
With a DIY move, you risk damage to property, injury, and additional van trips. With a casual service, you may have little or no protection if something goes wrong. Our aim is to give you peace of mind throughout.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take our duty of care seriously. Hammersmith Movers is fully covered by:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles.
- Public liability insurance – protecting you and your property during our work on-site.
Our teams are trained in safe handling, lifting techniques and the correct use of equipment. We follow recognised industry practices for packing and loading and keep our vehicles well maintained. You receive written terms and conditions that explain the cover in place and how your items are protected.
Care, Protection & Sustainable Practices
Your belongings and property are treated with care and respect. We use protective covers for mattresses, sofas and other upholstered items, and we safeguard doors, banisters and floors where needed. Fragile items are wrapped and clearly marked to ensure extra attention.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible, we use reusable transit blankets, offer the collection and reuse of good-quality boxes, and plan efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage. When disposing of unwanted items, we can advise on responsible recycling and donation options in the Hammersmith area.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House
From one-bedroom flats to large family houses, we coordinate everything needed for a smooth home move. We can work around completion times and key handovers, and we are used to dealing with tight staircases, residents’ parking schemes and shared entrances.
Office & Business Relocations
For businesses in Hammersmith, we offer planned office removals that minimise disruption. This can include evening or weekend moves, packing of files and IT equipment, and coordination with your IT support so you are back up and running quickly.
Urgent & Short-Notice Moves
Situations change, and sometimes moves need to happen quickly. Where our schedule allows, we can support urgent or short-notice moves in and around Hammersmith. We work with you to prioritise key items and create a practical plan, even with limited lead time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal service in Hammersmith cost?
The cost depends mainly on the volume of belongings, access at each property, distance between addresses and the level of service you choose. A small flat move within Hammersmith will naturally cost less than a large family home moving further afield, especially if full packing is included. After a survey, we provide a fixed quote with a clear breakdown so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges are explained beforehand.
Can you offer same-day or urgent removals?
We do our best to accommodate last-minute and urgent moves, particularly within Hammersmith, but availability depends on our schedule and vehicle capacity. If you need a same-day or short-notice move, contact us as early as possible with details of what needs moving and both addresses. We will quickly assess what is realistic, advise on priorities, and provide a clear price. While we cannot guarantee same-day availability, we will always be honest about what we can do and suggest alternatives if needed.
What insurance cover do you provide?
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and by our public liability insurance while we are working at your properties. This offers you financial protection in the unlikely event of damage or an incident during the move. Full details of cover limits and any exclusions are set out in our written terms, which we provide with your quote. We are happy to answer specific questions about particularly valuable or unusual items before moving day.
What is included in your removals service?
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional removals team, loading, safe transport and unloading into the correct rooms at your new property. We also include basic protection such as removal blankets and securing straps as standard. Optional extras include full or part packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and the supply of packing materials. Your written quote will clearly list everything that is included so there is no ambiguity about what we will do on the day.
How is a professional removals company different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals company provides trained staff, appropriate vehicles, insurance and a structured, reliable service. We plan your move in advance, carry out surveys, protect your property, and work to agreed timings. A casual man-and-van service may not offer the same level of care, insurance or accountability if something goes wrong. While man-and-van options can suit very small, simple moves, most households and businesses benefit from the organisation, safeguards and experience that a dedicated removals company provides.
How far in advance should I book my move?
We recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, particularly for Fridays and month-end, which are always busy. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal for most moves in Hammersmith, giving time for surveys, planning and any packing services. However, we understand that dates can change and sometimes you may have less notice. If that happens, contact us straight away – we will do our best to fit you in or suggest practical alternatives based on our availability.
