Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Clear Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We will ask brief questions about addresses, access, dates and what you need to move. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day. Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden charges for stairs or waiting time unless agreed in advance.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a quick video call or onsite survey. This lets us see access, parking, stairways and lift sizes, and understand any awkward items. It helps us choose the right size removal van, plan the route and allocate the right number of movers so that moving day runs smoothly.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Packing service – Our trained team packs your belongings using suitable boxes and materials.
- Part-packing – We handle fragile or bulky items; you pack the rest.
- Self-packing – You pack everything; we supply materials on request.
We can also dismantle and reassemble standard furniture where needed, and we label items and rooms clearly for easy placement at your new address.
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our trained team arrives on time with a clean, well-maintained removal van. We protect floors and doorways where appropriate and carefully load goods using trolleys, blankets and straps. Items are positioned within the van to minimise movement during transit. Your belongings are then transported directly to the new property using efficient, pre-planned routes in and around Maida Vale and beyond.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your destination, we unload systematically, placing items into the rooms you request. We can reassemble furniture we dismantled and position larger pieces where you want them. Before we leave, we check that everything has been unloaded and that you are satisfied with the placement of your belongings.
Transparent Removal Van Pricing
We believe in straightforward pricing so you can budget confidently:
- Pricing usually based on a fixed rate for the job or an agreed hourly rate, depending on the size and complexity.
- Quotes include the removal van, fuel, standard travel time and a dedicated moving team.
- Additional services (packing, materials, storage, long-distance travel) are clearly itemised.
- Any potential extra charges, such as congestion or parking fees, are discussed in advance.
Once you accept our quote, the agreed rate will not change unless the scope of work changes. You will always know what you are paying for and why.
Why Choose Professional Removal Vans Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Hiring a van and doing it yourself may appear cheaper, but it often takes longer, involves more risk and can be physically demanding. With Maida Vale Movers you benefit from:
- Experienced, trained crews who know how to move heavy and fragile items safely.
- Proper equipment such as blankets, straps, dollies and floor protection.
- Efficient loading and unloading that saves you time and reduces disruption.
- Fully insured operations, unlike many casual man-and-van options.
- Reliable punctuality and confirmed bookings, not last-minute cancellations.
This means fewer breakages, less personal risk and a more organised move from start to finish.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible removals company, we operate to clear professional standards for your protection and peace of mind:
- Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your belongings while they are in our care and being transported in our vans.
- Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
- Trained moving teams – Staff are trained in safe lifting techniques, packing methods and property protection.
We are committed to working carefully, honestly and transparently at every stage of your move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings and your property with the same care we would our own. On every removal van job we:
- Use padded blankets, wraps and straps to protect furniture.
- Secure items in the van to avoid shifting in transit.
- Protect floors, bannisters and doors where necessary.
We also take a responsible approach to the environment:
- Reusable crates and durable packing materials wherever practical.
- Recycling of cardboard and other materials after moves.
- Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use.
Our aim is to move you efficiently while minimising waste and environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Maida Vale cost?
The cost depends on the size of the move, access at each property, distance travelled and whether you need packing or dismantling services. Smaller moves may be priced on an hourly rate for the van and crew, while larger home or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. We provide a detailed written quote before you book so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs, such as parking fees, are discussed upfront.
Can you provide a removal van at short notice or the same day?
We can often help with short-notice or same-day moves in Maida Vale, depending on our existing bookings and the size of the job. Smaller moves and single-item collections are more likely to be accommodated at short notice than full house removals. The best approach is to call us as soon as you know you need a van, and we will confirm availability and realistic timings. Even when we are fully booked, we are happy to advise on options and alternative dates.
What insurance cover do you provide for removal van services?
All our removal van services are backed by goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, and public liability insurance for work at your property. This cover is designed to protect you in the unlikely event of damage or loss caused by us during the move. We will explain the key points of cover when you book. If you have particularly high-value or unusual items, please mention them so we can advise on any additional arrangements.
What exactly is included in your removal van service?
Our standard removal van service includes a suitable van, fuel, a professional moving team, protective blankets and securing equipment. We load your belongings, transport them to your new address and unload them into the rooms you choose. At your request, we can also provide packing materials, full or part packing services, and basic furniture dismantling and reassembly. All inclusions are clearly listed on your quote, so you know what to expect on moving day and can add or remove services to suit your budget.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a casual man-and-van might be suitable for very small jobs, our service is run as a professional removals operation. You get trained staff, proper equipment, fully insured vehicles and confirmed booking times. We complete a pre-move assessment, plan routes, manage parking where possible and work methodically to protect your belongings and property. This structured approach reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute cancellations, giving you a more reliable and less stressful moving experience overall.
How far in advance should I book a removal van in Maida Vale?
For weekend and month-end moves, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, as these dates fill up quickly. For midweek moves or smaller jobs, we can often accommodate you with less notice, especially outside busy periods. However, the earlier you contact us, the more choice of dates and times you will have. Even if your moving date is not fully confirmed, it is worth getting in touch so we can pencil you in and adjust once your plans are finalised.
