Items We May Not Be Able to Move

• Paints, solvents and certain chemicals
• Unboxed loose valuables such as jewellery or cash

If you are unsure about a particular item, mention it during your enquiry so we can advise and, where possible, plan a safe way to move it.

Step-by-Step Bermondsey Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Initial Quote

You contact us by phone or online with basic details: addresses, property type, move date and volume of belongings. We provide an indicative quote and explain the options – from simple load-and-go moves through to full packing and unpacking services.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we arrange a short survey. This can be a video call or an onsite visit in Bermondsey. We assess access, parking, stairs or lifts, and the items to be moved. This allows us to give a firm price, allocate the right team and plan any special handling or protection required.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the days before or on the morning of the move (depending on the service chosen):

• Full packing service – Our professional movers bring materials and pack everything carefully, labelling boxes by room and content.
• Part packing – We pack fragile items such as glass, crockery, mirrors and pictures; you pack the rest.
• Self-packing – You pack your own boxes; we supply quality boxes and materials on request.

We can also dismantle standard furniture such as beds and tables, and prepare appliances in line with manufacturer and safety guidance.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day we arrive on time, walk through the property with you and agree a loading plan. We protect floors where needed and use padded covers for sofas, mattresses and other key items. Everything is loaded securely into our vehicles, with straps and blankets to prevent movement in transit. We then transport your belongings directly to the new address, or to storage if arranged.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload in the order that helps you settle quickly. Boxes are placed in the correct rooms, and furniture is reassembled and positioned as agreed. Before leaving, we walk through the property with you to check that all agreed items are in place and you are satisfied with the layout.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We aim to keep pricing clear and honest. Your quote will normally be based on:

• Volume of belongings and number of rooms
• Distance between properties
• Access (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking restrictions)
• Requested services (packing, materials, dismantling/assembly)
• Day and time – weekdays, weekends or evenings

We provide written quotes with a clear breakdown so you can see what is included. There are no hidden call-out fees, and any potential extra charges (such as storage, waiting time due to key delays, or additional collections) are explained before you book.

Why Use a Professional Removal Company Instead of DIY

Moving yourself or hiring an informal man-and-van can look cheaper at first glance, but often comes with costs and risks that only show up on the day. With Bermondsey Movers you benefit from:

• Trained staff who know how to move bulky and fragile items safely.
• Appropriate vehicles with the right securing equipment and protective materials.
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for peace of mind.
• Efficient loading and unloading that saves time and reduces disruption.
• Less physical strain and lower risk of injury for you, family or staff.

In many cases, a well-planned professional service also reduces time off work, damage to belongings and unexpected hire costs, making it better value overall.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance – Covering your items while they are in our vehicles, subject to terms.
• Public liability insurance – Protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property or injury caused by our work.
• Trained moving teams – Staff trained in safe lifting, packing, loading and customer care.

We work to consistent procedures for inventory, labelling and handling. Any specific requirements or higher-value items can be discussed in advance so that we can plan suitable packing and insurance arrangements.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Our approach is to move your belongings with the same care we would use with our own. We use heavy-duty blankets, mattress and sofa covers, wardrobe boxes and protective wrapping where appropriate to minimise the risk of damage. Floors and banisters are protected where needed, particularly in shared hallways and communal areas that must be kept clean.

We also consider our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:

• Reuse strong cardboard boxes for multiple moves before recycling.
• Use recyclable packing materials where practical.
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage.

By packing efficiently and loading carefully, we reduce wasted space in vehicles and minimise the number of journeys required.

Real-World Removal Scenarios We Handle

Moving House in Bermondsey

From small flats near the Tube to townhouses and riverside apartments, we handle full and part household moves. We often work around building management rules, lift bookings and timed loading bays, planning with you in advance to keep everything compliant and straightforward.

Office and Business Relocations

We support local businesses moving within Bermondsey or relocating across London and beyond. This can include desks, chairs, filing systems, stock and IT equipment. We can plan phased moves outside normal office hours to minimise downtime for staff and customers.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Things do not always go to plan. Where our schedule allows, we offer urgent or short-notice removals in Bermondsey – for example, when completion dates change or leases end unexpectedly. If you need to move quickly, contact us as early as possible and we will confirm what level of service we can realistically provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Bermondsey typically cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, access at each address and the distance travelled. A small flat move within Bermondsey may be charged at a fixed rate or half-day rate, while larger homes or office moves are usually priced after a survey. Optional services like packing, materials and dismantling will affect the total. We provide a clear written quote before you book so you know exactly what is included and can adjust the service level to fit your budget.

Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?

We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Smaller flat or room moves are usually easier to accommodate at short notice than full house or office relocations. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with your addresses and preferred timing. We will check availability, explain what is realistically achievable and provide a quote. Where we cannot assist directly, we will always be honest rather than over-promising.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and limits, and we also hold public liability insurance. This provides reassurance in the unlikely event of damage or an incident during the move. We will explain the key points of cover when you request a quote, and you are welcome to ask about higher-value items or specific concerns so we can advise on the best way to protect them.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained crew, protective blankets, basic furniture protection and loading, transport and unloading between the agreed addresses. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify at the new property. Additional options include packing services, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and short- or long-term storage. Your written quote will list exactly what is included so you can see what you are paying for and add or remove services as needed.

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

A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport only, with limited insurance and variable standards. By contrast, a professional removal company provides trained staff, proper equipment, fully insured vehicles and a structured process from survey to completion. We plan around access, parking and timings, protect your belongings, and provide written documentation and clear terms. While our service may cost more than a basic man-and-van, it significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected complications on moving day.

How far in advance should I book my move?

For the best choice of dates, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking as soon as you know your likely moving window – typically two to four weeks ahead for smaller moves and four to six weeks for larger households or offices. That said, we understand that completion dates and leases can change at short notice. We will always try to accommodate late bookings where our schedule allows, and we can often find a solution even if it means adjusting the service slightly.
