Local Expertise in Hammersmith

We work in Hammersmith every day. That local knowledge makes a real difference when planning a removal van job. We understand restricted streets, loading bays, controlled parking zones and busy times around Hammersmith Broadway, King Street, Ravenscourt Park and the river.

Because we are based locally, we can often offer flexible time slots and dependable arrival times. If you need an early start to avoid traffic or access restrictions, we will advise the best plan for your part of Hammersmith.

Who Our Removal Van Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal for moving 1–3 bedroom homes within Hammersmith or across London. We handle bulky furniture, white goods and boxes, taking care to protect walls, banisters and flooring in both properties.

Renters

Perfect for flat and house moves where access can be tight and parking limited. We help with dismantling and reassembling basic furniture, and we work carefully so you can hand back the property in good condition.

Landlords

Our removal vans support landlords needing to clear or refurnish properties between tenancies. We can remove unwanted furniture, deliver replacement items and liaise with your letting agent where needed.

Businesses

Hammersmith has many small offices and studios. Our vans are well suited to moving workstations, filing, stock and light machinery. We can schedule moves outside normal working hours to keep disruption to a minimum.

Students

Students moving into or out of Hammersmith benefit from a cost-effective removal van service. We can move a room’s worth of belongings in one trip and combine loads where friends are moving at the same time.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items typically included

• Domestic furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, drawers
• Kitchen appliances – fridges, freezers, washing machines, ovens (disconnected)
• Boxes of clothing, books, kitchenware and personal items
• Office furniture and equipment, including boxed IT
• Bikes, sports equipment and garden tools

Items we usually exclude

• Hazardous materials – gas bottles, fuel, chemicals, paint thinners
• Illegal or stolen goods
• Live animals or pets
• High-value jewellery, cash and important documents (we recommend carrying these yourself)
• Very large commercial machinery not suitable for a standard removal van

If you are unsure about a particular item, ask us during the enquiry stage and we will confirm whether we can move it and how it should be prepared.

How Our Removal Van Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact Hammersmith Movers with details of your move: addresses, property type, number of rooms, key items and preferred date. We then provide a clear quotation, outlining exactly what is included and any options such as packing or materials.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a simple single-item move, we recommend a survey. This can be done by video call or an in-person visit in Hammersmith. We assess access, parking, stairs, lifts and items to be moved so we can allocate the right size van and team.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose to pack yourself, or we can supply a professional packing service. If you pack, we provide guidance on box sizes, labelling and protecting fragile items. On moving day, we protect floors and key surfaces and prepare furniture, including basic dismantling where agreed.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team loads the van carefully, using blankets, straps and covers to secure everything. Items are positioned to minimise movement in transit. We then transport your belongings directly to the new address, using the most sensible route for Hammersmith traffic conditions.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload room by room, placing items where you want them. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled and ensure nothing is left in the van. Before we leave, we invite you to check that everything has arrived in the expected condition.

Transparent Pricing for Removal Van Hire in Hammersmith

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:

• Size of van and number of movers required
• Time estimated for loading, travel and unloading
• Distance between addresses
• Optional services such as packing, materials and dismantling

You will receive a written quote detailing what is included, the hourly or fixed rate, and any additional charges that may apply (for example, congestion charge or parking if we must pay it on the day). We are always happy to explain how the price has been calculated.

Why Choose a Professional Removal Van Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Hiring a cheap van or an unqualified man-and-van can seem tempting, but there are clear risks: lack of insurance, poor packing, damage to property and unreliable timekeeping. As a professional removals company, we provide:

• Fully insured vehicles and teams for your peace of mind
• Trained staff who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
• Proper equipment – trolleys, straps, protective covers and blankets
• Planned timings and clear communication from start to finish

The result is a move that is safer, less stressful and less likely to incur extra costs from damage or delays.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Hammersmith Movers operates to high professional standards on every removal van job.

Goods in Transit Insurance

Your belongings are protected by goods in transit insurance while they are in our care. This covers loss or damage during loading, transport and unloading, subject to our terms and conditions, which we are happy to share in advance.

Public Liability Cover

We carry public liability cover to protect you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage to the building or third parties while we are working.

Trained Moving Teams

Our staff receive regular training in safe lifting techniques, correct use of equipment, packing and handling fragile or awkward items. We never send unaccompanied casual labour to handle a full move in Hammersmith.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move as if we were moving our own belongings. That means careful planning, respectful behaviour in your home or workplace and tidy working practices.

• Use of reusable furniture blankets and durable covers to reduce waste
• Option for reused cardboard boxes where appropriate
• Efficient route planning around Hammersmith to minimise unnecessary mileage
• Responsible disposal or recycling of unwanted furniture and packaging by arrangement

Our aim is to combine a high level of care for your items with a responsible approach to the environment.

Real-World Use Cases for Our Removal Vans

Moving House Within Hammersmith

Many of our clients are moving between flats and houses in Hammersmith, Fulham, Shepherd's Bush and nearby areas. Our removal vans are sized to cope with narrow streets and controlled parking zones, while still offering enough space for a full flat or small house move.

Office and Studio Relocations

From creative studios near the river to small offices around Hammersmith Broadway, we regularly move workspaces with minimal downtime. We can schedule early morning, evening or weekend moves to keep disruption low.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes plans change quickly – a tenancy ends sooner than expected or an item needs to be out of a property urgently. Where availability allows, we can provide a same-day or next-day removal van within Hammersmith, with clear time windows and realistic expectations from the outset.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal van in Hammersmith cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size of van, number of movers required, distance travelled and how long the job is expected to take. Smaller local moves in Hammersmith are usually priced on an hourly basis with a minimum booking period, while larger moves may be offered as a fixed price. Optional extras such as packing services, materials and dismantling can affect the total. We always provide a detailed written quote before you commit, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?

Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or short-notice removal van services in Hammersmith. Availability depends on how many moves are already booked, the size of van you require and how complex the job is. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible with full details. We will tell you honestly what we can do, provide a clear time window and explain any limitations, such as reduced packing support or limited access to particular time slots.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved, subject to our terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to buildings or third parties. It is important that items are correctly packed and declared, and that any particularly high-value items are discussed with us in advance. We will explain exactly what is covered, the limits of cover and any exclusions, so you can decide whether to arrange additional personal insurance if needed.

What is included in your removal van service?

Our standard service includes the removal van, fuel, a professional moving team, protective blankets and straps, careful loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We also provide basic protection for floors and bannisters where needed. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture and disposal of certain unwanted items by agreement. All inclusions and exclusions will be set out clearly in your quote, so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While a casual man-and-van can be suitable for very simple jobs, our service is run as a professional removals operation. That means fully insured vehicles, trained staff, proper equipment and structured planning for every move. We survey more complex jobs, advise on packing and access, and take responsibility for protecting both your belongings and the properties involved. You receive written confirmation of costs and times, and we are accountable for the quality of the work, which significantly reduces the risk compared to an informal service.

How far in advance should I book a removal van?

For moves at busy times – especially Fridays, month-end and summer – we recommend booking two to four weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. For smaller or more flexible moves within Hammersmith, we can sometimes accommodate bookings with a few days’ notice, and occasionally on the same day if our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer, particularly if you need packing services or are working around tight access or building management rules.
