Who Our House Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If you’re selling or buying in Dulwich, we provide a reliable, fully planned move that fits your completion date. We coordinate with your timings, look after fragile and high-value items, and ensure both properties are protected throughout.

Renters

From studio flats to multi-bedroom rentals, our service helps you move out cleanly and efficiently. We take extra care not to damage walls, floors or stairwells so you leave the property in good condition for your deposit inspection.

Landlords

We assist landlords with tenant changeovers, furniture moves, part-furnished setups and clearances of non-hazardous items. We work quickly, respect neighbours and common areas, and can coordinate access with managing agents.

Businesses

For small offices and home-based businesses, our office removals and commercial moves keep downtime to a minimum. We can move IT equipment, office furniture and archived files with clear labelling and organised loading.

Students

Students moving into or out of Dulwich and surrounding areas benefit from a cost-effective, smaller-scale removals option. We can handle shared-house moves, term-time relocations and storage moves with flexible time slots.

What We Move – Included Items

Our house removals service covers most household and domestic contents, including:

• Furniture: beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs, bookshelves
• Appliances: washing machines, dryers, fridges and freezers (pre-disconnected)
• Boxes and crates of personal belongings
• Electronics: TVs, computers, audio equipment, small appliances
• Pictures, mirrors, ornaments and general household items
• Outdoor items: garden furniture, barbecues (clean and gas removed), bikes

What We Cannot Move – Excluded Items

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we do not move:

• Hazardous materials: paint tins, solvents, fuel, gas bottles, chemicals
• Illegal items or anything that breaches local regulations
• Live animals or pets (please arrange specialist pet transport)
• Perishable food for long-distance moves
• Unsecured jewellery, cash or important documents – these are best kept with you
• Pianos and very large safes without prior agreement and proper survey

If you’re unsure whether an item can be moved, we’ll clarify during the survey and advise on safe alternatives.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact Man with Van Dulwich by phone or online with your moving date, addresses and a rough idea of the volume. We ask a few key questions about access, floors, parking and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining what’s included so you know exactly what to expect.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we arrange a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Dulwich and nearby areas. We check access routes, staircases, lifts, parking and item volume. The survey lets us choose the right vehicle, team size and equipment, and confirm or refine your quotation.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer both full packing and part packing services. Our team can pack your entire property, or just fragile and valuable items such as glassware, artwork and electronics. We use double-walled boxes, packing paper and bubble wrap. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply materials and give practical guidance on safe packing.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, we arrive on time, protect key areas, and agree a simple plan for the order of loading. Items are wrapped or covered where appropriate, and loaded securely using straps and blankets. Our professional drivers transport your goods directly to your new address, following the most efficient and safe route.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload in a logical order, placing boxes in the correct rooms and positioning furniture where you want it. If agreed in advance, we reassemble standard furniture such as beds and tables. Before leaving, we invite you to walk through and check that everything has been delivered and placed correctly.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of items and size of property
• Distance between addresses
• Access and any unusual challenges (stairs, long carries, limited parking)
• Services required: packing, materials, dismantling/reassembly, storage runs

We provide either a fixed price for the whole job or, for smaller flexible moves, an agreed hourly rate with minimum hours clearly stated. Any potential additional charges, such as congestion zone fees or parking costs, are explained in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Using a professional removals company like Man with Van Dulwich means your move is properly planned, insured and carried out by trained staff. DIY moves often underestimate time, vehicle size, and the risk of damage to both belongings and property.

With us, you benefit from:

• Correct equipment for lifting and protection
• Experience moving heavy and awkward items safely
• Reduced risk of injury to yourself or helpers
• Formal goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Accountability from a registered, established local business

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Man with Van Dulwich operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being moved
• Public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to third-party property
• Trained and experienced removals teams, used to handling fragile and bulky items

We follow recognised industry best practices for packing, lifting and loading, and keep clear records of each move. If you have items of particularly high value, we can discuss additional precautions and documentation.

Care, Protection & Sustainability

We take care of both your possessions and the environment where possible. Our approach includes:

• Using reusable protective blankets, covers and straps
• Offering the option of reclaimed or reused boxes where suitable
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Protecting floors, banisters and doorways to avoid damage

We always handle your belongings as if they were our own, keeping an eye on both safety and waste reduction throughout the moving process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Dulwich cost?

The cost of a house removal in Dulwich depends on the size of your property, volume of belongings, distance between addresses and any extra services you need, such as packing or dismantling furniture. Small flat moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger homes are usually quoted as a fixed price. We always carry out an assessment – by phone, video or onsite – before confirming your quote, so there are no surprises on the day. Contact us with a brief outline of your move for a tailored estimate.

Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?

Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves, especially within Dulwich and nearby areas, depending on availability. Urgent moves are usually more time-sensitive, so we focus on efficient planning: prioritising essential furniture and key boxes, and agreeing a realistic schedule with you. It’s always best to call us as soon as you know you need to move so we can check vehicle and crew availability. While advance booking is preferable, we understand that not every move can be planned weeks ahead.

What insurance cover do you provide during the move?

Man with Van Dulwich provides goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, and public liability insurance for accidental damage to third-party property. This is designed to complement, not replace, your own home contents insurance. We handle all items with care, but in the rare event of a problem, our cover means there is a clear process for resolving issues. If you have particularly high-value items, please tell us before moving day so we can discuss any additional precautions needed.

What’s typically included in a house removals service?

A standard house removals service with Man with Van Dulwich includes loading your furniture and boxes, securing them safely in the vehicle, transporting them to your new home, and unloading them into the correct rooms. We protect key items with blankets and covers, and can dismantle and reassemble standard furniture by prior arrangement. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of boxes and materials, and extra stops for storage units. We’ll clearly list everything included in your written quote so you know exactly what’s covered.

What’s the difference between your removals service and a basic man-and-van?

While a casual man-and-van service may simply provide a vehicle and driver, our professional removals service offers structured planning, trained staff and proper insurance. We conduct surveys, assess access, bring the right equipment, protect your property, and provide written confirmation of your booking and costs. Our teams are experienced in lifting, packing and loading, which reduces the risk of damage or injury. In short, you’re not just hiring a van; you’re hiring a complete, accountable service designed specifically for safe, efficient moves.

How far in advance should I book my move?

Ideally, you should book your Dulwich house removal 2–4 weeks in advance, especially if you’re moving on a Friday, weekend or at the end of the month, when demand is higher. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change at short notice. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil you in and confirm once you have firm details. Even if you’re moving sooner than expected, it’s always worth contacting us – we’ll do our best to fit you in around existing bookings.
