Flat Removals

Flat Removals in Surrey by Surrey Movers

At Surrey Movers, we specialise in hassle-free flat removals across Surrey. Whether you are moving from a studio in Guildford, a top-floor flat in Woking, or a modern apartment in Epsom, our experienced team handles every detail with care and precision.

Specialist Flat Removals Across Surrey

Flat moves come with their own challenges: stairs, tight corridors, parking restrictions and lift bookings. As a local, owner-managed company, we understand how buildings and access work in Surrey and plan your move around them. From securing parking to protecting communal areas, we make sure your move runs smoothly and respectfully.

Who Our Flat Removals Service Is For

Our flat removals service is designed for:

• Homeowners moving between apartments or into a new-build flat in Surrey.
• Renters ending a tenancy and needing a careful, clean exit with no damage.
• Landlords arranging moves for tenants, clearance, or part-furnished properties.
• Businesses relocating staff, small offices, or serviced apartments.
• Students moving in or out of student halls or shared flats.

Whether it is a single room, a two-bedroom flat or a whole block of serviced apartments, we scale our team and vehicles to match your requirements.

What Is Included in Our Flat Removals

Our standard flat removals service typically includes:

• Furniture removal – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, desks and drawers.
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers and small electricals (disconnected and ready to move).
• Boxed belongings – clothes, books, kitchenware, ornaments and personal items.
• TVs and electronics – carefully wrapped and transported upright.
• Mattress and bed frame protection with appropriate covers and wrapping.
• Dismantling and reassembly of basic flat-pack furniture where agreed in advance.

We bring all the necessary equipment – blankets, straps, trollies and floor protection – to keep both your belongings and the building safe.

What Is Not Included as Standard

To keep pricing clear and fair, some items and services are excluded from our standard flat removals but can often be added by arrangement:

• Disconnection/reconnection of appliances that require a qualified tradesperson (gas cookers, hard-wired ovens, etc.).
• Heavy specialist items such as pianos, safes, or large aquariums without prior notice.
• Packing materials (boxes, tape, bubble wrap) unless specified in your quote.
• Full packing and unpacking service – available as an optional upgrade.
• Waste disposal or clearance of unwanted items and rubbish.

We will always explain clearly what is and is not included so you know exactly what to expect on move day.

Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

When you contact Surrey Movers, we will ask a few straightforward questions about your flat, access, inventory and move date. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote. For most flat moves, we can give a fixed price so you can budget with confidence.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a small flat, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess stairs, lifts, corridors and parking, and to understand what needs dismantling. Accurate surveys prevent surprises on the day and help us allocate the right size vehicle and team.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Self-pack – you pack your own boxes and we supply materials on request.
• Part-packing – we pack fragile or high-value items such as glass, artwork and electronics.
• Full packing service – our trained team packs your entire flat, room by room.

On the day, we protect floors, bannisters and doors, and wrap furniture with blankets and stretch wrap where needed.

4. Loading & Transport

Our professional movers load your belongings in a safe and logical order, securing everything properly for transit. We carefully manage stairwells, communal areas and lifts to avoid any damage or disturbance to neighbours. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while in our vehicles.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new flat, we unload items into the rooms you specify and place furniture where you want it. Where agreed, we reassemble dismantled items and check that everything is accounted for before we leave. We aim to leave you ready to settle in, not surrounded by chaos.

Transparent Flat Removals Pricing in Surrey

We believe in simple, transparent pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:

• Size of the flat and volume of belongings.
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle, parking).
• Travel distance between addresses.
• Level of service – from load & move only to full packing and unpacking.
• Any special items or additional services required.

We will always confirm what is included in writing. If your circumstances change, we update the quote in advance so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Choose Professional Flat Removals Instead of DIY

Flat moves can look straightforward but often involve tricky access, time limits on lifts, and tight completion times. Using a professional removals company offers several advantages over DIY or an informal man-and-van:

• Safety – lifting and carrying on stairs is handled by experienced movers with the right equipment.
• Protection – use of covers, blankets and floor protection to avoid damage to the building and your belongings.
• Reliability – confirmed vehicles, timings and trained staff rather than ad-hoc help.
• Insurance – full cover for your goods in transit and while being handled.
• Efficiency – faster loading and unloading to meet key handover times.

For most people, the cost of a professional move is easily justified by the time saved, reduced stress and lower risk of damage.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Surrey Movers operates to clear, professional standards to protect our customers and our team:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover for work in and around your property.
• Trained moving teams who are experienced in flat and apartment moves.
• Use of appropriate equipment, including dollies, straps, and protective materials.
• Risk assessments for complex access or larger buildings where needed.

We treat every move as if it were our own home, maintaining high standards of care, punctuality and communication.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We focus on careful handling and responsible working practices:

• Protection of property – door, floor and banister protection as standard where needed.
• Reusable materials – use of reusable blankets and crates where possible to reduce waste.
• Efficient routing – planning journeys to minimise fuel use and unnecessary mileage.
• Recycling options – guidance on recycling boxes and materials after your move.

We believe good removals work is both careful and considerate, to your belongings and to the wider environment.

Real-World Flat Removals Use Cases

Our flat removals service in Surrey covers a wide range of situations, including:

• Moving house – upgrading from a flat to a house, or downsizing into an apartment.
• Office and serviced apartment relocations – moving key staff or small teams between premises.
• Student moves – end-of-term relocations or moving into new accommodation.
• Urgent moves – last-minute tenancy changes or completion dates that shift at short notice.
• Landlord and letting agent support – moves between tenants, part-furnished setups and removals after refurbishments.

Whatever your situation, we tailor the service to your timetable, budget and building requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do flat removals in Surrey cost?

The cost of a flat removal in Surrey depends mainly on the size of your flat, access, distance between addresses and the level of service you choose. A small one-bedroom flat moved locally with basic loading and transport will usually cost less than a larger two-bedroom flat with full packing. We prefer to provide a fixed price after a short survey, so you know exactly what you will pay. Contact us with a brief description of your move and we will prepare a clear, written quote.

Can you handle same-day or urgent flat moves?

We regularly help with urgent or short-notice flat removals in Surrey, subject to availability. If your completion date has changed, a tenancy has ended sooner than expected, or a last-minute opportunity has come up, call us as soon as you can. We will check our schedule, vehicle availability and staffing, and if we can safely accommodate your move, we will. In some cases, flexible or off-peak timings help us fit in urgent moves more easily.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your property. This provides protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage. During your quotation, we will explain the level of cover, any limits and exclusions, and how to identify particularly high-value items. We encourage customers to inform us in advance about items of unusual value so we can make sure they are properly documented and protected.

What is included in a flat removals service?

Our standard flat removals service includes provision of a suitable vehicle, a trained moving team, protective equipment, loading at your existing flat, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you specify at your new address. We handle normal household furniture, appliances that are disconnected and ready to move, and your packed boxes. Optional extras include packing materials, full or part packing, dismantling and reassembly of larger items, and additional trips or storage if required. Everything included will be clearly listed in your written quote.

How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van can be suitable for very small moves, but a professional removals company offers more structure and protection. We provide confirmed bookings, the right size vehicle, a trained team, protective materials and full insurance cover. We also plan access, parking and lift use in advance, which is particularly important for flats. This reduces the risk of delays, damage or unexpected costs. For most flat moves, especially where there are stairs, tight timings or valuable items, a professional service is usually the safer and more efficient choice.

How far in advance should I book my flat removal?

For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking your flat move in Surrey at least two to three weeks ahead, especially if you are moving on a Friday or at the end of the month, when demand is highest. That said, we understand that dates can change, particularly with property purchases and tenancies. If your plans are uncertain, we can pencil in a provisional date and confirm once you know more. We also do our best to accommodate short-notice moves whenever our schedule allows.
