We assist landlords with part or full furniture removals, end-of-tenancy clear moves and moving items between properties. We can schedule work between tenancies to minimise void periods.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your move details: addresses, property type, date and any particular requirements. We will ask a few practical questions to understand access, volume and timing. Based on this, we provide a clear, written quotation outlining what is included, any optional extras and how long we expect the move to take.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most Brompton removals, we carry out either a video survey or an onsite visit. This allows us to accurately assess the volume, note any delicate or awkward items and check parking or access constraints. A proper survey means fewer surprises on the day and helps us allocate the right size vehicle and crew.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer several levels of packing service:
- Full packing – our team packs your entire property using quality cartons and packing materials.
- Part packing – we pack fragile or high-value items such as glassware, ornaments and artwork.
- Self-pack – you pack your own boxes and we supply packing materials if required.
On the day, we protect furniture with covers, wrap delicate items, and use floor and banister protection where needed.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team carefully loads your belongings in a logical order so items arrive in good condition and are easy to unload at the other end. We use professional equipment such as dollies, webbing, furniture blankets and covers. Your goods are transported in our purpose-equipped vehicles under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload room by room, placing items where you request. We reassemble furniture we have dismantled as part of the agreed service. We do a final walk-through with you to ensure everything you expected has been unloaded and positioned.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services in Brompton
We price our removal services based on a clear set of factors:
- Volume of goods to be moved
- Access at both addresses (stairs, lifts, distance to parking)
- Travel distance and expected journey time
- Level of packing service required
- Number of movers and vehicles needed
- Any additional services such as storage or dismantling/reassembly
Your quotation will itemise what is included so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras provided the information given is accurate and the scope does not change. If something does change, we explain any cost adjustments before proceeding.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Using a professional removals company brings several advantages over doing it yourself or hiring an unregulated man-and-van:
- Experienced, trained staff who know how to handle and protect furniture and fragile items.
- Proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for your peace of mind.
- Appropriate equipment and vehicles designed for removals, reducing the risk of damage or injury.
- Efficient planning that saves time, avoids multiple trips and minimises disruption.
- Written confirmation of the service, timings and costs, rather than informal arrangements.
DIY moves often take far longer than expected and carry a higher risk of damage to belongings and property. A professional service keeps the process organised and predictable.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to clear professional standards, backed by appropriate insurance cover:
- Goods in transit insurance – protects your belongings while they are on the move, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – covers accidental damage to third-party property or injury where we are at fault.
- Trained moving teams – our crews receive ongoing training in lifting techniques, packing, loading and customer care.
We take accurate inventories where appropriate and encourage you to highlight any particularly valuable or fragile items so we can give them extra attention.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped and covered, mattresses are protected, and floors and doorways are shielded where there is a risk of scuffs. We plan moves to minimise unnecessary handling and keep items secure in transit.
From a sustainability perspective, we aim to reuse sturdy cartons, reduce waste and route our vehicles efficiently to cut down on mileage. Where possible, we use recyclable materials and encourage customers to return reusable boxes after the move.
Common Use Cases for Our Brompton Removal Services
Moving House
Most of our work involves full or part-house moves within Brompton and across London or the wider UK. We are used to coordinating completion-day timings and can work closely with you and your solicitors or agents.
Office and Commercial Relocations
We move offices, studios, clinics and small retail units, often outside normal working hours to keep downtime to a minimum. We can provide crate hire, packing for files and IT relocation support as part of a planned schedule.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes move dates change at the last minute. Where we have availability, we can accommodate urgent removals or short-notice bookings in Brompton. The more information you can provide quickly, the easier it is for us to structure the move effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Brompton cost?
Costs depend mainly on the volume of belongings, access at each property, distance travelled and the level of packing required. A small flat move within Brompton will typically cost less than a full family house move across London or further afield. After a short call and survey, we provide a clear, written quote with no obligation. This will outline exactly what is included, any optional extras and how long we expect the move to take, so you can budget with confidence.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removal services?
Same-day or urgent removals are sometimes possible, depending on our schedule and the size of your move. Smaller flat or student moves are usually easier to accommodate at short notice than large house or office relocations. If you need an urgent move in Brompton, contact us as early in the day as you can with full details. We will be honest about what is realistic, any limitations, and the likely cost for a late-notice service.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved, subject to the policy terms and any declared values. We also carry public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property where we are at fault. We always recommend you tell us about any particularly high-value items in advance so we can confirm coverage and handle them with additional care. Detailed information about our insurance is available with your quotation and on request.
What is included in a standard removals service?
A standard removals service usually includes a pre-move assessment, provision of a suitably sized vehicle, a professional moving team, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We place items in the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture where agreed in advance. Packing services, packing materials, storage and specialist handling of very high-value items are available as additional options. Your written quote will list everything that is included so expectations are clear.
How is a professional removal service different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals company provides structured planning, trained staff, suitable vehicles and formal insurance. We carry out surveys, provide written quotes and confirm timings so the move is predictable. Man-and-van services can suit very small, simple moves but often lack the insurance cover, equipment and manpower required for larger or more complex jobs. With Brompton Movers, you know who is turning up, what they will do, and how your belongings are protected, which significantly reduces the risk of problems on moving day.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a reasonably firm moving date. For peak times such as Fridays and month-end, two to four weeks’ notice is sensible, especially for larger properties. That said, we understand dates can change, so we try to remain as flexible as possible. If your timeline is tight, contact us anyway – we can often suggest practical options, even at short notice, particularly for smaller moves within Brompton.
