Professional Removal Company in Dulwich

We offer a complete removals service, from a simple flat move to a fully managed house or office relocation. Our aim is straightforward: protect your belongings, keep to time and reduce your stress on moving day.

Every move is carried out by trained, uniformed teams using clean, well-maintained vehicles and quality protective materials. We are fully insured with both goods in transit and public liability cover for your peace of mind.

Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Dulwich, we handle full house removals, including careful protection for furniture, appliances, pictures and family heirlooms. We regularly move clients from Victorian terraces, town houses and larger family homes.

Renters

Flats and rented properties often mean tight stairs, lift restrictions and strict move-out times. Our team plans around these details, protecting the property to help you meet your tenancy obligations and avoid unnecessary disputes with letting agents or landlords.

Landlords

We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clear moves, part-furnished removals and quick turnarounds between tenants. We can remove and relocate your furniture, white goods and contents efficiently, keeping void periods to a minimum.

Businesses

Our office removals and commercial relocation services are designed to minimise downtime. We move desks, chairs, filing, IT equipment and stock with a clear labelling and placement plan so your team can get back to work quickly.

Students

For students moving to or from Dulwich and nearby universities or colleges, we offer smaller, budget-friendly moves – perfect for personal belongings, clothes, books, and a few bits of furniture.

Step-by-Step Dulwich Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with basic details of your move: addresses, property size, access and dates. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you supply. For straightforward moves, we can often price from your description and photos.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a survey, either via video call or in person. This allows us to assess access, parking, number of items, fragile or awkward pieces and any dismantling required. The survey ensures we send the right size vehicle, the correct number of staff and the appropriate materials.

3. Packing & Preparation

We can offer:

• Full packing service – we pack your entire property using strong boxes and packing materials.
• Part packing service – we pack selected fragile or valuable items only.
• Self-pack option – you pack your own boxes; we supply materials if required.

Furniture is protected with padded covers, and mattresses are wrapped. Where needed, we carefully dismantle beds, tables and wardrobes, ready for safe loading.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional team arrives promptly, introduces themselves and walks through the plan with you. We protect floors and bannisters as required, then load systematically so that your items are secure in transit. Vehicles are loaded to prevent movement, and we drive steadily, taking routes that suit the size of our lorries and access at both ends.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. Dismantled items are reassembled where agreed. Before we leave, we check that you are happy with the placement and that nothing has been overlooked on the vehicles.

Transparent Pricing for Removals in Dulwich

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Access and distance between properties
• Number of movers required and estimated hours
• Any additional services such as packing or storage

Your written quote sets out exactly what is included, with no hidden extras. If your requirements change (for example, you add storage or packing), we discuss any price adjustments with you in advance so you can make an informed decision.

Why Use a Professional Removal Company Instead of DIY

Hiring a professional removals company is about more than just having a van. Our experienced teams understand safe lifting techniques, how to manoeuvre large items through tight spaces and how to protect both your possessions and the property.

DIY moves and casual man-and-van services can lead to damage, injury and delays. With us, you get trained staff, suitable equipment, proper planning and full insurance cover. This reduces the risk of breakages, protects your back and saves you significant time and stress on the day.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and they are treated that way from start to finish. Dulwich Movers provides:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being moved.
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property.
• Trained moving teams – staff who are inducted in safe handling, loading and customer care.

We follow industry best practice in wrapping, stacking and securing loads. Our processes have been refined through years of local work in Dulwich and beyond.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move as if it were our own property. Furniture is wrapped, fragile items are individually protected and boxes are stacked to avoid crushing. We use high-quality blankets, padded covers and straps, not makeshift materials.

Sustainability matters to us. Wherever possible, we use reusable crates, durable blankets and recyclable cardboard. Boxes can be collected for reuse or recycling after your move, helping to reduce waste. We also plan routes and schedules efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage.

Real-World Removals Use Cases in Dulwich

Moving House

From family homes near Dulwich Park to flats in East Dulwich, we handle full and part moves across the area. A typical house move includes packing (if requested), dismantling furniture, safe transport and placement of everything into the correct rooms at your new home.

Office Relocation

We help local businesses relocate within Dulwich or to other parts of London. Moves are often scheduled outside normal working hours or at weekends to minimise disruption. Desks, chairs, IT equipment and files are packed, labelled and reinstalled according to an agreed floor plan.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Occasionally, clients face urgent moves due to unforeseen changes in completion dates or tenancy deadlines. When our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice removals, applying the same standards of care and organisation as for planned moves.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal company in Dulwich cost?

The cost of using a removal company in Dulwich depends on several factors: the size of your property, the volume of items, the distance between addresses, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and whether you require packing or dismantling services. Smaller flat moves can be completed in a few hours with a small team, while larger house or office moves require more staff and time. We provide a tailored, written quote after discussing your needs or carrying out a survey, so you know exactly what you will pay before you commit.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often help with same-day or urgent moves, particularly outside peak times, but it depends on vehicle and crew availability. If your move date has changed at short notice or you need to be out of a property quickly, call us as soon as possible. We will check our schedule and advise what we can realistically do, including part moves or additional support such as packing. Even for urgent work, we maintain proper planning, protection and documentation so your belongings remain safe and accounted for.

What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?

Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and by public liability cover for damage to third-party property. This insurance is designed to complement, not replace, your own home or business policy. We encourage customers to read our terms, which explain what is covered, any limits and how to declare particularly valuable items. Our priority is to prevent damage through correct packing and handling, but the insurance is there to provide reassurance and a clear process if something does go wrong.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture, boxes and agreed contents between the addresses listed in your quote. We protect key items with blankets and covers, and we place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. Additional services such as full packing, part packing, dismantling and reassembly, provision of packing materials and storage can be added as required. Everything that is included or excluded from your service is clearly set out in your written quotation before you confirm your booking.

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

A professional removal company offers more than basic transport. You get trained staff, proper planning, high-quality protective materials, and fully insured vehicles. We carry out surveys where needed, allocate the right size team and vehicle, and handle awkward or heavy items safely. Many informal man-and-van services do not provide written quotes, clear terms or adequate insurance. While they may seem cheaper at first glance, any damage, delays or extra trips can quickly outweigh the apparent saving. With a professional remover, you are paying for reliability, accountability and peace of mind.

How far in advance should I book my move?

For the best choice of dates, especially at month-end and during summer, it is wise to book your removal at least two to four weeks in advance. That said, we understand that completion dates and tenancy changes can shift, sometimes at the last minute. We try to be as flexible as possible and can often accommodate shorter notice, particularly for smaller moves. The earlier you contact us, the more options we will have in terms of dates, times, vehicle sizes and crew availability to suit your specific requirements.
