Renters

Whether you are moving between rented flats or out of a house share, we offer flexible, cost-effective removals. We can help dismantle and reassemble furniture and carefully move white goods to avoid damage and deposit disputes.

Landlords

We work with landlords and letting agents to clear and move furnishings between properties, handle end-of-tenancy removals and relocate part-furnished items quickly and efficiently.

Students

Students moving to or from Teddington, Kingston or other nearby campuses benefit from our smaller, flexible moves. We move boxes, suitcases, bikes, small furniture and tech safely and affordably.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

We routinely move:

• Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs, drawers

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your move details – addresses, dates, property size and any particular items. We provide a clear, no-obligation estimate based on the information you give us and explain what is included so you know exactly what to expect.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything beyond a very small move, we recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Teddington. We assess access, parking, stairs or lifts, item volume and any fragile or unusual pieces. This ensures our quote is accurate and the right vehicle and team size are booked.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items or add our professional packing service. We can supply packing materials, or we can do the packing for you using strong boxes, bubble wrap and furniture covers. We label boxes clearly by room to help with unloading and set-up at your new property.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and starts loading. We use covers, blankets, straps and trolleys to protect items and property. Everything is positioned securely in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We then drive directly to your new address by the most efficient route.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new home or premises, we unload carefully and place items in the rooms you specify. We can reassemble basic furniture we have dismantled and position large items such as beds and wardrobes where you want them. Before we leave, we confirm you are happy that everything listed has been delivered.

Transparent Pricing and How We Charge

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotes are based on:

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

For smaller moves, we may charge an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For full house or office removals, we usually provide a fixed price so you can budget with confidence. There are no hidden extras – all costs are discussed and agreed in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removal company like Man With a Van Teddington gives you more than just a van and a driver. You get an organised plan, professional handling of your belongings and proper insurance protection. We reduce the risk of damage, personal injury and delays that often come with DIY moves or informal man-and-van arrangements.

Our trained team know how to move heavy and awkward items safely, how to protect doorways and banisters, and how to load a vehicle so nothing shifts in transit. You save time, reduce stress and avoid relying on borrowed vehicles or last-minute helpers.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being transported in our vehicles
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained moving teams – staff who understand safe handling, lifting and packing methods

We operate clean, well-maintained vehicles and follow sensible health and safety procedures on every job. Documentation can be provided on request so you know exactly what is covered.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care to protect both your belongings and your properties. Floors, bannisters and doors can be covered where needed, and furniture is wrapped or blanketed for transport. Fragile items are boxed and cushioned appropriately.

We also aim to work as sustainably as practical. Reusable blankets and protective covers reduce waste, and we encourage re-use of strong boxes where possible. We plan our routes efficiently around Teddington and neighbouring areas to minimise unnecessary mileage.

Typical Use Cases for Our Teddington Removals

Moving House

Whether upsizing, downsizing or relocating for work, we handle complete home moves across Teddington and beyond. We can work around exchange and completion times and coordinate key collection and access with you.

Office and Business Relocations

We help small businesses and offices move with minimal disruption. Out-of-hours or weekend moves can often be arranged so your staff can return to a functioning workspace on the next working day.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves have to be arranged quickly – a tenancy ending, a buyer keen to complete, or a change in circumstances. When our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or next-day removals in Teddington and surrounding areas. Contact us as soon as possible and we will advise on availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal service in Teddington cost?

The cost depends mainly on the size of your move, the distance between addresses and how easy access is at each property. Smaller flat moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full house or office relocations are usually quoted as a fixed price after a short survey. Optional extras such as packing, materials and furniture assembly are clearly itemised. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a written quote so you can compare like-for-like and budget accurately.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

Same-day or urgent removals are sometimes possible, particularly within Teddington and nearby areas, but they depend entirely on our schedule and vehicle availability. If you need a last-minute move, call or email us with full details – property size, addresses, access and preferred times. We will let you know quickly if we can help and provide a clear price before confirming the booking. Whenever you can, booking even a few days ahead gives you more choice of dates and time slots.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover 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, limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain in plain language. For very high-value or unusual items, we may recommend checking with your own insurer as well. If you need written confirmation of cover for your records or your employer, we can provide this on request.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional moving team, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We take care to protect furniture and property and we work to an agreed schedule. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture and disposal of unwanted items by prior arrangement. All inclusions and any optional services are listed clearly in your quote, so you know exactly what is and is not covered.

How is a professional removal company different from a basic man-and-van?

A basic man-and-van service usually provides just transport and manual help, often without formal planning or insurance. As a structured removal company, we offer trained staff, proper goods in transit insurance, public liability cover, surveys for larger moves and clear documentation. We bring the right equipment, plan access and packing, and work to an agreed schedule so your move is safer and more predictable. It generally means less risk of damage, fewer delays and a much smoother moving day overall.

How far in advance should I book my move?

For the best choice of dates, especially at busy times like month-end and weekends, we recommend booking as soon as you know your likely move date – ideally two to four weeks in advance for larger moves. However, we understand that dates can change with property chains and tenancy agreements, so we try to be flexible. Even if your date is not fully confirmed, getting in touch early allows us to pencil you in and advise on options if your plans shift slightly.
