Professional Removal Services in Twickenham
Our Twickenham-based team handles every stage of your move, from the first enquiry through to placing furniture in your new property. We use the right equipment, clean and well-maintained vehicles, and trained removal staff who move your items efficiently and safely.
We work with:
- Homeowners moving within Twickenham or further afield

- Businesses relocating offices, shops, or small warehouses
- Students moving to and from halls or shared houses

Local Expertise in Twickenham and Surrounding Areas
Operating from Twickenham means we know the local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. That local knowledge helps us plan realistic timings and avoid common problems, such as vehicle access on narrow streets or timed loading bays on busier roads.
We regularly carry out moves in:
- Twickenham town centre and riverside properties
- St Margarets and East Twickenham
- Whitton and the surrounding residential estates
- Richmond, Teddington, Isleworth and nearby areas
We work closely with you to agree access arrangements, lift use, and any building management rules so everything runs smoothly on the day.
Who Our Removal Services Are For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing, or relocating for work, we provide full household removal services, from careful packing of fragile items to dismantling and reassembling larger furniture. Our aim is to protect your home and belongings while keeping disruption to a minimum.
Renters
For tenants, timing and cleanliness matter. We can help you move out on schedule, avoid damage to walls and stairwells, and leave the property ready for inspection. We also offer part-load services if you are moving from a furnished property with fewer items.
Landlords
Landlords and letting agents use our removal services for end-of-tenancy clearances, removal of old furniture, and preparing properties for new occupants. We work considerately in shared buildings and can coordinate with cleaning or maintenance teams where needed.
Businesses
From small offices to high-street shops, we handle commercial moves with clear labelling, structured loading, and minimal downtime. Desks, IT equipment and files are organised and transported so your team can get back to work quickly.
Students
We regularly help students move to and from Twickenham and nearby universities. We can manage smaller loads, shared moves, and awkward staircases in older properties, all at straightforward, transparent prices.
What Our Removal Services Include
Items Typically Included
Our standard removal services usually cover:
- Household furniture: beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
- White goods and appliances (if disconnected)
- Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and kitchenware
- Office furniture and equipment
- Garden furniture and light outdoor items
- Musical instruments and hobby equipment (by prior arrangement)
Items We Do Not Normally Move
For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or require special arrangements:
- Hazardous materials (paints, fuel, chemicals, gas bottles)
- Live animals or plants needing controlled conditions
- High-value jewellery, cash, or important personal documents
- Heavy industrial machinery beyond domestic scale
- Pianos or very large safes without prior notice
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the survey stage.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your moving dates, addresses and an outline of what needs moving. We discuss access, timing, and any special items. Based on this information, we provide an initial, no-obligation quotation with a clear breakdown of what is included.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything more than a very small move, we carry out either a virtual video survey or an onsite visit. This allows us to assess volume, access, parking, and any dismantling required. A proper survey means we can send the right size vehicle and team, reducing the risk of delays on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer both full and part packing services. You can choose to:
- Pack everything yourself using your own materials
- Ask us to supply professional boxes and packing materials
- Use our full packing service, where our trained team packs your items for you
Furniture is protected with covers and transit blankets, and fragile items are wrapped carefully to prevent damage.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional team arrives at the agreed time, walks through the plan with you, and starts loading in a logical order. We use lifting equipment where needed and protect floors and bannisters. Your belongings are then transported in our purpose-built vehicles, with loads secured properly for the journey.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. Larger items can be reassembled if that has been agreed in advance. We work methodically, keeping walkways clear and checking that everything on the inventory has been delivered before we leave.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Your quote is based on:
- Volume of goods to be moved
- Distance between properties
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
- Number of movers required
- Any additional services, such as packing or storage
There are no hidden extras: any potential additional costs (for example, congestion charges or parking permits) are discussed before you confirm your booking. We provide written confirmation so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Choose Professional Removal Services Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van can look cheaper at first glance, but it often costs more in time, stress and potential damage. Our professional service provides:
- Trained staff who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
- Appropriate equipment, from trolleys to furniture covers
- Proper planning to avoid last-minute problems
- Fully insured transport, giving you protection if something goes wrong
- Reliable timing and a team that will not let you down on moving day
For most people, the peace of mind and reduced risk easily outweigh the small difference in cost.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to clear professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property
- Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting and handling practices
- Regularly maintained vehicles and equipment
Details of cover levels and terms are available on request, and we are happy to explain how they apply to your specific move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your belongings and the properties we work in is central to how we operate. We use transit blankets, mattress and sofa covers, and floor protection where appropriate. Items are loaded in a structured way to avoid crushing or movement in transit.
We also work with an eye on sustainability. Wherever possible, we:
- Reuse sturdy removal cartons and materials
- Offer collection and recycling of used boxes after your move
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
By focusing on good planning and careful packing, we reduce waste and minimise the risk of damage or breakage.
Real-World Uses of Our Removal Services
Moving House
Most of our work involves full or part house moves within Twickenham and across London and the South East. We are used to working around completion times, key handovers and tight schedules, and we keep communication clear throughout.
Office and Business Relocations
We support businesses moving locally or reorganising their premises. This might be a full office relocation, a phased move across several days, or shifting departments within the same building. We can work outside normal hours to reduce disruption.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves cannot be planned months in advance. Where our schedule allows, we provide urgent or short-notice removal services for situations such as emergency relocations, tenancy changes, or last-minute completion dates. We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable in the time available.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Twickenham cost?
The cost depends on several factors: how much you are moving, the distance between properties, access conditions, and whether you need packing or other additional services. Smaller local moves may be priced on an hourly basis with a minimum charge, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. After an initial discussion and, if needed, a survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what is included before you commit.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removals?
We do our best to help with urgent or short-notice moves, particularly within Twickenham and nearby areas. Same-day availability depends on our booking schedule and the size of your move. Smaller flat or student moves are often easier to accommodate at short notice than full house moves. If you need an urgent service, contact us as early as possible with full details so we can assess what is realistic and give you an honest answer.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we move, as well as public liability cover for work at your property. This protects you in the unlikely event of damage or an accident during the removal process. Insurance cover operates within specific terms and limits, which we are happy to explain in plain language before you book. We recommend that very high-value or irreplaceable items are discussed in advance so we can advise on the best way to protect them.
What is included in your removal service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport, and unloading of your agreed items between the two properties, along with basic protection such as furniture blankets and covers. We can also provide additional services: full or part packing, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, and short-term storage. All inclusions are set out clearly in your written quote and confirmation so you know exactly what we will do on moving day and what you are responsible for.
How is a professional removal company different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service typically offers basic transport with limited planning, equipment or insurance. A professional removal company like Twickenham Movers provides experienced, trained staff, appropriate vehicles, protective materials, and structured planning. We carry goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, and we carry out surveys to avoid problems on the day. For anything beyond a very small or low-risk move, this level of service usually proves better value and far less stressful.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Ideally, you should contact us as soon as you know roughly when you are moving, even if the exact date is not confirmed. For busy periods such as the end of the month or school holidays, two to four weeks' notice is sensible, especially for larger house or office moves. That said, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change, so we aim to be as flexible as possible. The earlier we discuss your plans, the more options we can offer.
