Who Our House Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of the area, we provide a complete moving service for homeowners. From delicate ornaments and high-value furniture to garages and sheds, we move your household efficiently and with care.
Renters
If you are moving between rented properties, we can work around tight check-out and check-in times, protect floors and walls, and help you leave the property in good condition. Ideal for tenants who want a smooth handover with minimal stress.
Landlords
We assist landlords needing quick, tidy removals of furniture and contents between lets. We can remove part or full furnishings, safely transport them to storage or another property, and help prepare the property for new tenants.

Students
Students moving between home, halls or shared houses benefit from a streamlined, budget-friendly service. We can combine small loads, arrange specific time slots, and handle boxed items, suitcases, small furniture and bikes with ease.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your move details – current address, destination, property size, dates and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included. We will talk through options so you only pay for what you actually need.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a short survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in New Addington. We assess access, parking, stairs, lifts and volume of belongings. This ensures we allocate the right vehicle, team size and time, avoiding surprises on moving day.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you choose our packing service, we arrive in advance or early on the day with boxes and protective materials. We pack room by room, labelling boxes clearly. If you pack yourself, we send guidance on best practice so items are protected and easy to handle.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, protects floors and vulnerable areas where needed, and loads the van systematically. Furniture is wrapped and secured with straps and blankets. We choose sensible routes in and out of New Addington to avoid unnecessary delays and keep your belongings safe in transit.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload in an organised way, placing boxes and furniture into the rooms you request. We reassemble any agreed furniture and make sure key items such as beds, sofas and white goods are in their correct positions so you can settle in more quickly.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes take into account:
- Property size and volume of items
- Distance between addresses
- Access and parking complexity
- Number of movers and vehicles required
- Any additional services such as packing or storage
We typically work on a fixed-price basis for full house moves, so you know the cost in advance. For smaller jobs, we may offer a fair hourly rate with minimum booking periods clearly stated. All charges are explained before you confirm your booking.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company is about more than simply having a van. We bring experience, planning and proper protection for your belongings. DIY moves often lead to damaged furniture, injuries from lifting incorrectly, and much longer days than expected.
Unlike casual man-and-van services, we use trained teams, the right equipment, and goods in transit insurance. Your belongings are carefully wrapped, stacked correctly and secured in the vehicle. We also handle awkward items, stairs and tight corners efficiently, reducing the risk of damage to both your items and the property.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your peace of mind matters. Man with Van New Addington operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property
- Trained, experienced moving teams who follow safe lifting and handling practices
We treat your possessions as if they were our own, using industry-standard techniques for wrapping, lifting and loading. If you have any particularly valuable or fragile items, we can discuss additional protections and handling on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your belongings is our first priority. We use padded blankets, mattress and sofa covers, protective wrap and straps to keep items secure. We take care around corners, bannisters and door frames and use floor protection where appropriate.
We also take a responsible approach to materials and mileage. Wherever possible we reuse sturdy boxes and protective materials, and we plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary driving. If you need to dispose of old furniture or packaging, we can advise on local recycling and reuse options in and around New Addington.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house removals in New Addington cost?
The cost depends mainly on the size of your property, the volume of items, distance travelled and access at each address. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis with a minimum booking, while full house moves are often quoted as a fixed price. Additional services such as packing, extra movers or storage will affect the total. We always provide a clear written quote before you book, so you know exactly what is included and can budget with confidence.
Can you do same-day or urgent removals?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent moves in and around New Addington, depending on availability. If your plans have changed at short notice or a move has become more urgent, contact us as soon as possible with your details. We will check vehicle and team availability and offer practical options. While it is always easier to plan ahead, our flexible approach means we can usually find a solution that is safe, efficient and realistically timed for your circumstances.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We operate with goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved, and public liability cover for work at your property. This is in addition to the care taken by our trained team. We recommend you tell us in advance about any particularly high-value or fragile items so we can note them and discuss any extra precautions. Full details of cover, limits and any exclusions are available on request before you confirm your booking.
What is included in a standard removals service?
A standard service normally includes a suitable vehicle, a professional team of movers, loading and unloading, furniture protection and transport between your addresses. We place items into the rooms you specify and can carry out basic furniture disassembly and reassembly if agreed in advance. Packing is optional – you can pack your own items or add a packing service to your booking. We will always confirm in writing exactly what is included so there is no confusion on moving day.
What is the difference between removals and a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service usually offers transport only, with limited help and little or no insurance. A professional removals service, like ours, provides an organised team, fully insured transport, protective equipment, and planned loading and unloading. We assess your move in advance, bring the right number of movers, and handle furniture, fragile items and access issues properly. This reduces the risk of damage, avoids unnecessary trips, and generally makes moving day far less stressful and more efficient.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you know your moving date, particularly for Fridays, weekends and month-end dates, which are typically busier. Many customers confirm their booking two to four weeks in advance. However, we understand that dates can change at short notice, especially with property chains. If you are uncertain, we can pencil in provisional dates and adjust where possible. For last-minute moves, contact us directly – we will always do our best to fit you in.
