Who Our Removal Service Is For
Homeowners

We regularly handle multi-bedroom properties, period conversions and townhouses, carefully protecting staircases, bannisters and delicate fixtures. We plan your move around chain dates and completion times to keep everything running smoothly.
Renters
We help tenants move between rented flats and houses with minimal downtime. From compact studios to shared houses, we work efficiently to keep costs sensible and avoid damage that could affect your deposit. We can also assist with disposing of unwanted items where agreed in advance.

For landlords, we offer reliable support when a property needs to be cleared, part-furnished, or set up for new tenants. We can remove old furniture, move in new items and coordinate timings with cleaners and contractors so the property is ready on schedule.

- Electronics – TVs, computers, sound systems, small appliances
- Personal items – clothing, books, ornaments, pictures

- Live animals and plants requiring controlled environments

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
Everything starts with an initial enquiry. You can contact Maida Vale Movers by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few key questions about your current property, your destination, access, dates and what needs to be moved. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining what is included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we carry out a survey. This can be done via video call or an in-person visit in Maida Vale. We assess the volume of items, access (stairs, lifts, parking), any fragile or specialist pieces and packing requirements. This allows us to allocate the right team, vehicle and equipment, and to confirm your price.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer both full packing services and part-packing options. If you choose packing, our trained staff use quality materials and proven techniques to protect your belongings. We can also dismantle larger furniture such as beds and wardrobes where necessary. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply boxes and materials in advance and advise on best practice.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our team arrives on time, carries out final checks and begins loading. Floors, doors and bannisters are protected where needed. Items are loaded in a logical sequence so that heavy and fragile goods are secured correctly on the vehicle. We use purpose-built removal vans and secure strapping to prevent movement in transit.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload systematically, placing boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify. If agreed, we reassemble dismantled items and position furniture so you can begin settling in straight away. Before leaving, we carry out a walk-through with you to ensure you are satisfied and nothing has been overlooked.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Your quotation will be based on:
- Volume of goods to be moved
- Distance between addresses
- Access and any parking or stair issues
- Services required (e.g. packing, dismantling, packing materials)
- Any special items requiring extra care or manpower
We provide fixed-price quotes for most moves, so you know exactly what to budget. Any potential additional charges (for example, storage, parking fines or waiting time due to delayed key release) are explained clearly in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
While a DIY move or casual man-and-van might seem cheaper at first glance, it often comes with hidden costs: vehicle hire, fuel, parking, materials, time off work and the risk of damage or injury. As a professional removal company in Maida Vale, we bring:
- Trained staff who move heavy and awkward items safely
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and covers
- Fully insured vehicles and staff
- Structured planning to avoid delays and confusion
This not only protects your belongings but also reduces stress and the chance of unexpected problems on the day.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Maida Vale Movers operates to strict professional standards. We are fully committed to handling your possessions with care and providing appropriate protection throughout your move.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protects you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage caused by our team.
- Trained moving teams – our crews are experienced, uniformed and briefed on each job in advance.
We will happily explain the scope of our cover and any limits or exclusions so you understand precisely how your items are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Moving is about more than getting things from one place to another. We take a careful, considered approach to every job in Maida Vale, focusing on protection and sustainability.
- Use of padded blankets, mattress covers and door protectors to prevent damage
- Thoughtful loading to avoid crushing or movement during transit
- Reusable crates and recycled packing materials where practical
- Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions
- Responsible disposal or recycling of unwanted items by arrangement
By working efficiently and responsibly, we aim to reduce waste and the environmental impact of your move while maintaining high standards of care.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals in Maida Vale typically cost?
The cost of a removal in Maida Vale depends on the volume of belongings, distance travelled, access at each property and whether you need packing or dismantling services. Smaller flat moves may be completed within a few hours, whereas larger homes or offices will take longer and require more staff. After a quick discussion and survey, we provide a fixed quotation so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges are explained clearly in advance.
Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?
We can often help with same-day or urgent moves, especially within Maida Vale and nearby areas, depending on our existing bookings. If you require a rapid move, contact us as early as possible with details of your locations, access and what needs moving. We will confirm availability, outline what can realistically be achieved in the time frame, and provide a clear price. Even on urgent jobs, we still use professional staff and proper equipment to keep your belongings safe.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, along with public liability cover for work carried out at your properties. As with any insurance, there are terms, conditions and limits, which we are happy to explain before you book. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional cover or that you transport them personally. Our priority is always to prevent damage in the first place through careful handling and proper packing.
What is included in your removals service?
Our standard removals service includes the provision of a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We protect furniture and large items with blankets and wraps as needed. Optional extras include full or part packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and short-term storage. Your quotation will clearly state what is included so you can decide which level of support is right for you.
How are you different from a basic man-and-van service?
Unlike many casual man-and-van operators, we are a dedicated removal company with fully insured vehicles, trained staff and proper planning for each job. We carry the right equipment to move heavy and fragile items safely, and we conduct surveys to understand access and requirements in advance. Our focus is on minimising risk, avoiding damage and keeping your move organised. While a basic man-and-van might suit very small, low-risk jobs, most home and office moves benefit from a structured, professional approach.
How far in advance should I book my move?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your Maida Vale move at least 2–4 weeks in advance, particularly if you are moving at the end of the month or on a Friday, when demand is highest. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy arrangements can change. If your timings are uncertain, we can discuss provisional bookings and keep in touch as your plans firm up. We will always do our best to accommodate short-notice moves where our schedule allows.
