Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact Man with Van Catford by phone or email with the basic details of your move: current address, destination, preferred date, and an outline of what needs moving. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining how the price is calculated so you know exactly what to expect.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most full house removals, we carry out a brief survey. This can be done via video call or an in-person visit, depending on your preference and availability. The survey lets us assess access, parking, volume of items and any special requirements, so we can allocate the right vehicle, team size and equipment.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Packing service – we supply materials and our trained team packs your belongings safely, room by room.
• Part-packing – we handle fragile items like glassware, pictures and TVs; you pack the rest.
• Self-packing – you pack everything and we supply advice on how best to protect your items.

On moving day, we protect floors and key surfaces where needed, and label or check labels on boxes for straightforward unloading.

4. Loading & Transport

Our team arrives at the agreed time, carries out a quick walk-through with you, and then begins loading. Items are wrapped and secured in the van using removal blankets, straps and appropriate stacking methods. We drive directly to your new address, using routes that suit larger vehicles and local traffic conditions.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new property, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. Beds, tables and other items we disassembled as part of the service are reassembled where agreed. Before we leave, we double-check that everything has been unloaded and placed to your satisfaction.

Transparent House Removals Pricing

We aim to keep pricing straightforward and transparent. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of items and size of property
• Distance between addresses
• Access issues (stairs, lifts, long walks, parking restrictions)
• Number of movers required
• Any optional services such as packing or furniture assembly

You receive a clear breakdown of costs before you book. There are no hidden extras for standard work – any potential additional charges (such as waiting time caused by key delays) are explained in advance.

Why Choose Professional House Removals Over DIY

Trying to move house with a borrowed van or casual man-and-van can quickly become hard work and risky. Professional removals bring several advantages:

• Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and protect heavy or fragile items
• Proper vehicles with securing points, blankets and equipment
• Efficient planning, so the job is usually completed faster and with less stress
• Goods in transit insurance so your belongings are covered while we move them
• Reduced risk of damage to property, doorways, stairwells and floors

Using a professional removals company like Man with Van Catford helps protect both your belongings and your back.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We take that seriously and back our work with appropriate cover and standards:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being moved in our vehicles
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while we work on-site
• Trained moving teams – experienced staff who know how to handle furniture, appliances and fragile items correctly

We follow sensible, proven moving practices and always treat your belongings and property as if they were our own.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Our approach combines careful handling with a consideration for the environment:

• Use of high-quality removal blankets, mattress covers and wrapping where appropriate
• Thoughtful loading to minimise movement and potential damage in transit
• Encouraging re-use of boxes and materials where suitable
• Consolidating journeys where possible to reduce unnecessary mileage

We aim to keep waste low and look after both your possessions and the spaces we work in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Catford cost?

The cost of a house removal in Catford depends mainly on the size of your property, the volume of items, distance between addresses and any access issues. Small flat moves are typically charged on an hourly basis, while larger home moves are often priced with a fixed quote after a survey. Optional services like packing, storage or furniture assembly will affect the final price. We always provide a clear, written quotation before you book, so you know exactly what is included and can budget with confidence.

Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?

We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Catford, depending on our existing bookings and the scale of your move. Smaller flat or part-load moves are usually easier to schedule at short notice, while full house removals may require more planning. If your date has changed unexpectedly, contact us as soon as possible. We will be honest about what we can do, discuss realistic timings, and, if we can help, arrange the right size team and vehicle to get you moved safely and efficiently.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we transport and public liability cover while we are working at your properties. This gives you protection in the unlikely event of an incident during the move. We still ask that you highlight any particularly fragile or unusually valuable items in advance so we can pack and handle them with extra care. For extremely high-value items or antiques, additional specialist cover may be advisable, and we are happy to discuss the best approach with you before moving day.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard house removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture, boxes and domestic items between the agreed addresses. We protect items in the vehicle with blankets and straps, and place belongings in the rooms you specify at the new property. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials, disassembly and reassembly of certain furniture, and help with arranging storage if needed. Everything that is included in your particular move will be clearly listed in your quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day.

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

A basic man-and-van often offers simple transport with limited labour and protection, whereas a professional removals service provides a more structured, fully supported move. With Man with Van Catford, you get trained movers, appropriate insurance, proper equipment and planned loading and unloading. We can carry out surveys, offer packing, and handle larger or more complex moves reliably. This reduces the risk of damage to your belongings and property and usually makes the whole experience far less stressful than trying to manage everything yourself with minimal help.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

Ideally, you should book your Catford house removal as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are moving on a busy day such as a Friday or at month-end. Two to four weeks’ notice is typical for full house moves, while smaller or local moves can sometimes be arranged with less notice. That said, we understand dates can change at the last minute, so if you need help urgently, contact us and we will do our best to fit you in around our existing schedule.
