Who Our Removal Service Is For
Homeowners
We regularly support homeowners moving within Lambeth or further afield. From terraced houses and maisonettes to larger family properties, we can provide full packing, dismantling and reassembly, and careful protection of carpets, banisters and doors.
Renters
If you are renting, you may be working to tight deadlines and fixed check-in/check-out times. We help tenants move efficiently, minimise disruption to neighbours and ensure the property is left clean and undamaged, protecting deposits and reducing stress on moving day.
Landlords
Landlords and managing agents use Lambeth Movers for quick, reliable removals when tenants change, furniture needs swapping, or properties are being refurbished. We can remove, store or deliver furniture on flexible schedules, including evenings and weekends by agreement.
Businesses
We support office removals, shop moves and small commercial relocations. Our planners work with you to minimise downtime, protect IT equipment and confidential documents, and keep your staff and customers informed about access and timings.
Students
Students in Lambeth and nearby areas benefit from cost-effective, reliable moves between halls, shared houses and storage. We can group smaller student jobs on shared routes to keep costs reasonable without compromising on a professional standard.

- White goods such as fridges, freezers, washing machines and cookers
- Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors and audio equipment

Items We Cannot Move
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, there are some items we are unable to transport:

- Chemicals, solvents, paints and hazardous substances
- Illegal goods or items obtained unlawfully
- Open containers of liquids that may spill
- Pets and live animals (we can recommend specialist pet transport)
- Valuables such as cash, jewellery and important personal documents – these are best carried by you
If you are unsure whether an item can be moved, we will advise during the survey so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Everything begins with a simple enquiry by phone, email or our online form. We ask key questions about your current and new properties, dates, access, volume of belongings and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate, clearly outlining what is included.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most moves, we carry out a survey to assess the volume of items, parking, stairs, lifts and any tight spaces or fragile pieces. This can be done via video call or as an onsite visit in Lambeth. The survey allows us to allocate the right team size, vehicle and equipment, and to confirm a fixed-price quotation where appropriate.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you choose our packing service, our team will arrive ahead of the move or on the day (depending on scale) with all necessary materials. We wrap fragile items carefully, label boxes for each room and protect furniture with covers and blankets. If you are packing yourself, we can supply quality materials and guidance in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, protects floors and banisters as needed, and systematically loads your belongings. Everything is secured in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We then travel directly to your new property, using routes that suit heavy vehicles and local traffic conditions in and around Lambeth.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your destination, we unload in an organised order, placing furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. Any items we dismantled are reassembled. We will not leave until you are satisfied that everything has been delivered to the correct rooms and any agreed reassembly has been completed.
Transparent Pricing for Removals in Lambeth
Our pricing is straightforward and clearly explained before you book. We typically base our charges on:
- Volume of items and size of property
- Access at both addresses (stairs, distance to parking, lifts)
- Travel distance between locations
- Level of service – for example, full packing vs. transport only
- Any additional services such as dismantling, storage or out-of-hours work
We provide written quotations with no hidden extras. Any potential additional costs (such as congestion charges or parking fees) are explained in advance wherever possible, so you can budget with confidence.
Why Choose a Professional Removal Company Over DIY
Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, delays and stress. As a fully insured, established removal company, we bring:
- Trained teams who know how to lift safely and protect items properly
- Specialist equipment such as dollies, straps and furniture covers
- Appropriate vehicles with securing points and padded interiors
- Clear timings and reliable arrival
- Formal contracts and insurance-backed protection
In many cases, professional removals reduce the risk of breakages, personal injury and extra van trips, making them more cost-effective overall.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Lambeth Movers operates to recognised industry standards, giving you confidence that your move is properly managed and protected.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury caused by our work.
- Trained moving teams – our staff receive ongoing training in safe lifting, packing techniques and customer care.
We are happy to outline our cover levels and provide copies of certificates on request, so you know exactly how you are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered and fragile belongings are cushioned and clearly labelled. Properties are protected with floor runners and banister covers where required, helping to avoid scuffs and scrapes to both your old and new homes.
We also pay attention to our environmental impact. Wherever possible, we re-use durable crates and blankets, source recyclable packing materials and plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage. Used cardboard boxes can often be collected for reuse or recycling, helping to reduce waste from your move.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House Within Lambeth
Many of our clients are moving between flats and houses in Lambeth, often dealing with tight stairwells, limited parking and busy streets. Our local knowledge helps us plan loading times, parking suspensions where needed and the best routes between properties.
Office and Business Relocations
From small creative studios to multi-floor offices, we plan business moves around your operational needs. That may mean evening or weekend moves, staged relocations, or temporary storage while you refurbish or fit out new premises.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Situations change, and sometimes moves need to happen quickly. Where we have capacity, we can accommodate short-notice or even same-day moves in Lambeth, focusing on the essentials first and building in additional services, such as packing, where time allows.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal service in Lambeth cost?
The cost depends on the volume of your belongings, the type and size of properties, access at each end, the distance between addresses and whether you require extras such as packing services or dismantling. Smaller local flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted at a fixed price after a survey. We always provide a clear written estimate before you commit, so you know exactly what is included and can compare options fairly.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice removals in Lambeth and nearby areas. Availability depends on the size of the move, time of year and existing bookings. For urgent jobs, we focus on the essentials: safely transporting key furniture, boxes and important items, with further visits or add-on services arranged if required. Contact us as soon as your situation becomes clear and we will be honest about what we can achieve and how best to prioritise your move.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance that covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property or injury arising from our work. These insurances are designed to complement, not replace, your own home or business policies. We are happy to explain the cover limits, exclusions and claims process in plain language so you understand exactly how you are protected.
What is included in a standard removals service?
A standard removals service generally includes loading your furniture and boxes, securing them in our vehicle, transporting them to your new address and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide blankets and protective covers for furniture, and basic disconnection of items like washing machines where safe. Optional extras include packing services, supply of materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and storage arrangements. All inclusions and exclusions are listed clearly in your quotation so there is no confusion on moving day.
How is a professional removal company different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, low-risk jobs, but a professional removal company offers structured planning, trained staff, proper insurance and suitable vehicles. We carry out surveys, provide written quotes, use quality packing materials and follow safe working practices. This reduces the chance of damage, injury or delays. If something does go wrong, you have the reassurance of formal contracts and insurance-backed protection. Overall, the service is more reliable and often better value when you factor in time, risk and potential replacement costs.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
For most moves, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end or during peak times such as summer. Early booking gives you more choice of dates and allows us to plan surveys, parking and any additional services like packing. That said, we understand that completion dates can change, and we will always do our best to accommodate shorter notice where possible. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we are likely to have.
