Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
It starts with a conversation. You contact us by phone or online, tell us where you are moving from and to, what access is like, and when you hope to move. We ask targeted questions to understand your property and inventory, then provide a no-obligation quote clearly outlining what is included. For straightforward moves, we can often quote the same day.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most Belgravia removals, we carry out a detailed survey. This can be done by video call or in person, depending on your preference and the complexity of the move. We measure access routes, check lift and stair sizes, assess parking options, and review any fragile or high-value items. This step ensures accurate pricing and that our team arrives with the right vehicle, equipment and packing materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full packing service – we supply all boxes and materials and pack everything for you.
- Part packing – we pack fragile or high-value items while you handle the rest.
- Self-pack – we simply provide quality packing materials if required.
Our trained team uses double-walled boxes, export wrap, furniture covers and mattress protectors. Items are labelled clearly to make unloading and placement in your new property straightforward.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our crew arrives on time, conducts a brief walk-through, and protects key areas such as doors, bannisters and floors. We dismantle agreed furniture, wrap and load items systematically, securing everything inside the vehicle. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new address, or via secure storage if arranged. All moves are covered by goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload room by room. Furniture is reassembled as agreed and positioned where you want it. Boxes are placed in the correct rooms based on labels. Before leaving, we carry out a final check with you to ensure everything that should be on site is offloaded and where you need it. We can also remove used packing materials by arrangement.
Local Expertise in Belgravia
Belgravia presents specific challenges: narrow streets, residents-only parking, listed buildings and strict management company rules. As a local firm, we:
- Plan vehicle sizes around street access and turning space
- Advise on and assist with parking suspensions where needed
- Coordinate with building concierges and management teams
- Use protective materials to safeguard common areas in mansion blocks
This local knowledge helps keep your move efficient, compliant and as stress-free as possible.
Transparent Pricing for Belgravia Removals
We price each move based on clear, practical factors:
- Volume of goods and number of rooms
- Access at collection and delivery addresses
- Distance travelled
- Level of packing service required
- Number of movers and vehicles needed
Our written quotations set out what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for. We do not use hidden charges for stairs, long carries or waiting time without discussing them upfront. If your circumstances change before move day, we will revise and agree any price adjustments in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
DIY moves and casual man-and-van options can appear cheaper, but they often cost more in time, damage and stress. With Belgravia Movers you benefit from:
- Fully insured vehicles and crews, protecting your belongings and property
- Trained staff experienced in handling fragile and high-value items
- Correct equipment – trolleys, dollies, straps, blankets and covers
- Efficient planning that reduces the overall duration of your move
- Compliance with building, parking and loading regulations
For Belgravia properties in particular, professional planning and handling can be the difference between a smooth move and a costly, exhausting day.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to high, consistent standards on every job.
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our care.
- Public liability cover for accidental damage to buildings or third parties.
- Professional crews, directly employed or regularly engaged and fully briefed.
- Ongoing training in lifting technique, packing, and customer care.
Policy details and limits are available on request, and we are happy to work with your own insurers or relocation agents where required.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Moving is about more than getting items from A to B. We focus on careful handling and responsible working practices.
- Use of high-quality, reusable transit blankets and furniture covers
- Protective floor runners and door covers in both properties
- Option for reusable crates for office moves to reduce cardboard waste
- Recycling or re-use of packing materials wherever possible
- Route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions
Our aim is to protect your belongings, your property and the environment while delivering a reliable removals service.
Real-World Use Cases in Belgravia
Moving House
From lateral apartments on Eaton Square to family houses near Chester Square, we regularly handle full household moves. We can work with your selling and buying timelines, coordinate key collection, and liaise with your solicitor or agent when access is tight.
Office & Commercial Relocations
We assist professional practices, embassies, galleries and boutiques with structured office moves. Services can include crate hire, IT decommissioning/recommissioning in cooperation with your technicians, evening or weekend moves, and phased relocations to keep disruption to a minimum.
Urgent & Same-Week Moves
Sometimes dates change at short notice. Where availability allows, we can offer fast-turnaround removals within Belgravia and across London. Even for urgent moves, we maintain our usual standards of planning, protection and documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals in Belgravia typically cost?
Costs vary depending on property size, access, distance and the level of service required. As a rough guide, a small flat move within Belgravia may cost less than a full-house relocation to another city, but each job is priced individually after a survey. Our quotations clearly show what is included, such as packing, materials and insurance cover. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges, for example for unusual access or storage, are discussed and agreed in advance so you can budget with confidence.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Belgravia and across London. Availability depends on crew and vehicle capacity, so the earlier you contact us, the better. For urgent moves, we streamline the survey and planning stages while still checking access, parking and key details. We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable on your preferred date and may suggest phased options if that better protects your belongings and reduces disruption.
What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?
Your items are protected by our standard goods in transit insurance while they are being packed, loaded, transported and unloaded by our team. We also carry public liability cover for accidental damage to buildings or third parties during the move. Policy summaries and limits are available on request, and we can discuss additional cover if you have particularly high-value items. We encourage customers to highlight any special pieces during the survey so we can plan extra protection, documentation or bespoke crating where appropriate.
What is included in a typical removals service?
A standard Belgravia Movers service includes a pre-move assessment, provision of a suitable vehicle and professional crew, protective equipment, loading, safe transport and unloading at your new address. We can add full or part packing, furniture dismantling/reassembly, supply of packing materials and short- or long-term storage if needed. Our quote will set out exactly what is included so there is no ambiguity. If you wish to handle your own packing, we are happy to adapt the service around your requirements while still protecting furniture and property.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, low-risk moves, but it usually lacks formal training, specialised equipment and robust insurance. Our removals service uses trained crews, suitable vehicles, professional-grade packing materials and clear processes from survey to completion. We also manage building regulations, parking, and access issues common in Belgravia, reducing the risk of fines, delays or damage. For most households and businesses, the added reliability and protection offered by a professional removals company represents better overall value.
How far in advance should I book my removals date?
Ideally, you should confirm your booking as soon as you have a likely completion or move date, often two to four weeks in advance for Belgravia moves, especially during busy periods. However, we understand that property chains and contracts can be unpredictable, so we try to be flexible. We can pencil in provisional dates and adjust them if needed, subject to availability. For peak times such as month-ends and Fridays, early booking gives you the best chance of securing your preferred slot and keeps last-minute stress to a minimum.
