Local Expertise in Twickenham and Surrounding Areas

Working daily in Twickenham means we know the area and its challenges inside out. From narrow Victorian streets to riverside apartments, we plan our routes and vehicle sizes carefully to avoid delays.

We regularly move customers in:

• Twickenham (TW1, TW2)

Our local knowledge helps with parking suspensions, loading restrictions and timing moves to avoid traffic hotspots, rugby match days and school rush hours. This practical experience translates into a smoother move for you.

Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of the area, we manage complete household moves including fragile items, antiques and garden equipment. We work closely with your completion time so you are out on schedule and into your new home without unnecessary waiting.

Renters

We frequently help tenants moving between rented properties on tight timeframes. We are used to navigating stairwells, lift bookings and inventory checks, ensuring your belongings are protected and the property is left in good order.

Landlords

Landlords and letting agents use us to clear properties between tenancies, remove unwanted furniture or set up fully furnished lets. We can work to short notice and liaise with your inventory clerk where required.

Businesses

From small offices to retail units, our office removals service focuses on minimising downtime. We can dismantle and reassemble desks, move IT equipment carefully and label crates so your new premises can be operational as quickly as possible.

Students

Students moving to or from local universities and colleges benefit from our small move services. We offer cost-effective options for moving a room or studio’s worth of belongings, with flexibility on dates and times.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

Our teams regularly move:

• Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (properly prepared)
• Boxes of personal effects, books, clothes and kitchenware
• Home office equipment – computers, screens, printers
• Outdoor items – garden furniture, tools, barbecues (clean and cool)
• Office furniture, filing cabinets and boxed documents

Items Excluded or Requiring Special Arrangements

For safety and insurance reasons, there are some things we cannot move, such as:

• Flammable or hazardous materials – fuel, paint, gas cylinders, chemicals
• Live animals or pets
• Perishable food in open containers or short shelf life
• Valuables such as cash, jewellery, important documents (best carried by you)
• Very heavy specialist items without prior agreement (e.g. large pianos, safes)

If you have unusual or high-value items, mention them during the survey so we can advise on safe handling or specialist services.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with your moving dates, addresses and a brief outline of what needs moving. We will provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey. Our quotes are clear and itemised so you know exactly what is included.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most moves we recommend a brief virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, volume of goods and any delicate or heavy items. It also gives you a chance to ask questions. Following the survey, we confirm a fixed-price quotation based on the agreed scope.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – we pack everything, supply materials and label boxes
• Part packing – we pack fragile or high-value items only
• Self-packing – you pack, and we provide boxes and advice if required

Furniture that needs dismantling is taken apart by our professional team and protected ready for loading.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained crew arrive on time, protect floors where needed and load your belongings carefully using blankets, straps and trolleys. Your goods are transported in clean, well-maintained vehicles under our goods in transit insurance, following a pre-planned route.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property we unload systematically, placing boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify. We reassemble dismantled furniture and perform a final check with you before leaving. We can also remove used packing materials by arrangement.

Transparent Pricing and How Costs Are Calculated

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. The cost of your move is based on:

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Distance between properties
• Access issues (stairs, long carries, parking restrictions)
• Level of packing service required
• Number of staff and vehicles needed
• Any additional services such as storage or out-of-hours moves

All of this is discussed and agreed in writing before the move. If your circumstances change, we will explain any price adjustments in advance so you can make an informed decision.

Why Choose Professional Removals over DIY or Man-and-Van

Moving yourself or booking a casual man-and-van might seem cheaper, but it often leads to extra stress, damage or delays. Our professional service offers:

• Trained moving teams who understand safe lifting, packing and loading
• Fully insured vehicles and staff for peace of mind
• Proper equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys and tools
• Reliable scheduling and clear communication
• Structured processes that keep your move on track

In many cases, using a reputable removal company like Twickenham Movers works out better value once you factor in time off work, hire vehicle costs, fuel, materials and the risk of breakages.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously and work to recognised industry standards.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our vehicles
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property
• Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in manual handling, packing and customer care
• Regular vehicle checks and maintenance
• Clear terms and conditions supplied with every booking

We are happy to explain the extent of our cover and where you may wish to supplement this with your own insurance for especially valuable items.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Looking after your belongings is at the heart of what we do. We use high-quality protective materials and take time to load methodically rather than rushing. Fragile items are wrapped and boxed, furniture is covered and everything is secured in the vehicle.

We also aim to reduce waste and environmental impact where possible by:

• Reusing durable removal crates and blankets
• Offering collection and reuse of good-quality boxes
• Planning efficient routes to minimise unnecessary mileage

This approach means your move is carried out with care for both your possessions and the wider environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removal companies in Twickenham typically cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of the property, the volume of belongings, distance, access and whether you need packing services. A small local flat move might be a few hundred pounds, while a large family home with full packing will be more. At Twickenham Movers we provide a clear, itemised quote after a short survey, so you understand exactly what you are paying for and can adapt the service to suit your budget.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often help with same-day or urgent moves, especially within Twickenham and nearby areas, but it depends on existing bookings and the size of the job. If you are in a hurry, contact us as early as possible with key details such as property size, addresses and any time constraints. We will let you know what is realistically achievable, suggest priorities, and, where we can, allocate a crew to get you moved safely at short notice.

What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?

Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and by our public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property. This is designed to cover typical household and office moves. For particularly valuable or unusual items, we recommend discussing them with us in advance so we can confirm cover or suggest additional protection through your own insurer. We are always happy to explain our policy details in plain language.

What is included in your removals service as standard?

As standard, our service includes a dedicated removals vehicle, a suitably sized trained team, protective blankets and equipment, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We also dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture items by prior agreement. Packing services, materials and storage are optional extras which can be added to create a complete, end-to-end move. Everything that is included in your specific move will be clearly listed on your written quotation and booking confirmation.

How is a professional removal company different from a basic man-and-van?

A basic man-and-van is usually best for very small, simple moves where you are happy to do most of the work yourself. A professional removal company like Twickenham Movers provides planned, staffed and fully insured moves with proper packing, lifting and protection. We carry the right equipment, send an appropriately sized crew, and take responsibility for the safe handling of your belongings. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute cancellations that can occur with informal services.

How far in advance should I book my move?

We recommend booking as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you plan to move on a Friday or at month end, when demand is highest. Many customers book two to four weeks ahead. That said, we understand that dates can change, particularly when you are in a property chain, so we try to be flexible. If your completion date is not confirmed, we can still provide a quote and pencil you in, then firm up details once you know more.
