Whether you are moving a small flat, a family home, an office, or just a few bulky items, we provide the right size vehicle and a trained team to handle everything carefully from start to finish.

Who Our Removal Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Moving between houses in Belgravia or to another part of London? We manage full household removals, from fine furniture and artwork to everyday belongings. Our team protects high-value items and carefully coordinates access, parking and timing so your move day runs smoothly.
Renters
Whether you are in a studio, flat share or larger rented property, our removal van service is ideal for short-distance and local moves. We work around building rules, lift access and tight staircases common in Belgravia, protecting both your items and the property.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We assist landlords and agents with quick, tidy moves in and out of furnished and part-furnished properties, including furniture changes between lets and clearance of unwanted items (within our exclusions policy). Punctuality, discretion and minimal disruption are central to our approach.
Businesses
From boutique offices to retail spaces, our removal van teams manage office relocations, internal moves and equipment transport. We can work outside peak hours where required, and we understand the need to minimise downtime and protect IT and confidential materials.
Students
Students moving into or out of Belgravia accommodation benefit from a cost-effective, smaller-scale removal van option. We can handle shared loads, single rooms and term-time moves between halls, flats and storage facilities.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with details of your move: addresses, property sizes, dates and any special items. We will ask clear, specific questions so we can recommend the right vehicle size, crew and timing. You receive a written, no-obligation quote with a transparent breakdown of the service.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a short video or onsite survey. This lets us assess access, parking, stairs or lifts, and the volume of items to be moved. Accurate surveying avoids surprises on move day and helps us plan the right number of professional movers and appropriate packing materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from two approaches:
- Packing service – Our team supplies materials and packs your belongings securely, labelling boxes clearly for each room.
- Self-packing – You pack your own boxes, and we provide guidance on best practice to prevent damage.
On move day, we protect floors, banisters and doors as required, and prepare furniture for safe transport, including disassembly where agreed.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained crew loads the removal van systematically, using blankets, straps and protective covers. Heavier items are secured first, and fragile pieces are carefully positioned to avoid movement in transit. We plan routes with Belgravia’s parking and traffic in mind, aiming for the most efficient and safe journey.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place items in the rooms you specify, reassemble furniture that we disassembled, and position large pieces so you can start using them immediately. Before leaving, we check you are satisfied that everything listed has been delivered and placed where requested.
Transparent Removal Van Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our removal van costs are usually based on:
- Volume of items and size of vehicle required
- Number of movers needed
- Distance between properties
- Access considerations (stairs, long carries, restricted parking)
- Additional services such as packing or storage
You will always receive a written quote before you book, with no hidden extras. If your requirements change, we will discuss and agree any price adjustments in advance, not on the day.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Hiring a professional, fully insured removals company like Belgravia Movers protects both your belongings and your time. DIY moves or informal man-and-van options may seem cheaper, but they often lack proper insurance, training, equipment and planning. This can lead to damage, unexpected overtime, or even cancellations at short notice.
We provide scheduled arrival times, professional vehicles, uniformed staff, and a structured process. Our trained crews know how to move heavy and fragile items safely, reducing the risk of injury and breakage, and giving you confidence that your move is being handled properly.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Belgravia Movers operates to high professional standards throughout every move.
- Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – Protection in case of accidental damage to third-party property during the move.
- Trained moving teams – Our staff receive ongoing training in lifting techniques, packing, handling fragile items and customer care.
We are happy to explain our cover levels and terms clearly before you book so you understand exactly how your items are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We place strong emphasis on protecting both your belongings and the properties we work in. We use padded transit blankets, mattress and sofa covers, floor protectors and securing straps as standard where appropriate. Our aim is to leave both your old and new premises as we found them.
We also work towards more sustainable moves. Reusable protective materials, efficient route planning, and well-maintained vehicles all help reduce waste and unnecessary emissions. Where possible, we recommend reusing boxes or choosing recyclable packing materials, and we can advise on responsible disposal of unwanted items.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Belgravia cost?
The cost depends on the size of your move, the distance travelled and the level of service you require. Smaller flat moves with a single removal van and two movers will typically be priced as a half-day or full-day rate, while larger house or office moves may need multiple vehicles and crew members. We always provide a written quotation after discussing your requirements, so you know the exact cost before you commit. There are no hidden charges, and any potential extras are clearly explained in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?
We can often accommodate same-day or urgent bookings, particularly for smaller moves, depending on our schedule and vehicle availability. If you need a rapid move, contact us as early in the day as possible and provide clear details of what needs to be moved and between which addresses. We will let you know what is realistically achievable, any time constraints, and provide a firm price before confirming the booking. While we cannot guarantee availability every time, we always do our best to help with short-notice moves.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to the terms and limits of our policy. We also hold public liability cover for incidents involving third-party property. During your booking, we explain what is and is not covered, including any specific limits for high-value items. We encourage customers to highlight particularly valuable or delicate pieces in advance so that we can advise on appropriate packing, handling and any additional precautions you may wish to take.
What is included in your removal van service?
Our standard removal van service includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We supply basic protective equipment such as blankets and straps as standard. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and short-term storage if needed. We tailor each move to your situation and set everything out clearly in your written quote, so you know exactly what is included on the day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, low-risk jobs, our service is built around professional standards. We use purpose-built removals vehicles, provide trained crews, carry comprehensive insurance and follow a structured planning process. This reduces the risk of damage, delays or last-minute cancellations. We also offer packing, furniture handling and more complex move management, which informal operators often cannot provide. In short, you gain reliability, accountability and the assurance that your belongings are being moved by a reputable removals company.
How far in advance should I book a removal van?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, particularly for Fridays, month-end and peak seasons. However, we understand that moves are not always planned that far ahead, so we also accommodate last-minute bookings where possible. Even if your moving date is uncertain, it is helpful to speak to us early so we can advise on availability and pencilling in provisional dates, then confirm once your plans are finalised.
