Local Expertise Across Surrey

As a Surrey-based removals company, we know the area, traffic patterns, parking restrictions and access challenges extremely well. This local knowledge allows us to plan realistic timings, choose appropriate vehicle sizes, and avoid common delays.

Whether you are moving within Surrey or relocating to or from the county, we regularly work in Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Kingston, Redhill, Reigate, Farnham, and surrounding villages. Our drivers and teams are used to narrow lanes, resident-only parking, and listed buildings with delicate access – and we plan accordingly.

Who Our Removals Service is For

Homeowners

From first-time buyers to large family homes, we provide structured house moves with detailed labelling, room-to-room planning, and careful protection of furniture, flooring, and fixtures. We work closely with your schedule, especially when completion dates are tight.

Renters

We help tenants move between rented properties with minimal disruption. Our teams are used to dealing with communal areas, lifts, and tight stairwells, and we pay attention to protecting walls and floors to keep landlords satisfied at check-out.

Landlords

Landlords and letting agents use our services for end-of-tenancy clearances, part-furnished moves, and setting up new rentals. We can remove or re-position furniture, transport items to storage, and prepare properties for new occupants on a strict timetable.

Businesses

We support small and medium businesses with office relocations, internal moves, and downsizing. We plan to minimise downtime, moving outside working hours where required and handling IT, files, desks, and specialist equipment with care.

Students

Our smaller removals options are ideal for students moving into halls, shared houses, or back home. We can transport boxed belongings, bikes, and a few key pieces of furniture at set times to coordinate with term dates.

What Our Removals Service Includes

Items Typically Included

Our standard removals services cover the vast majority of household and office contents, including:

• Furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, desks, chairs
• Appliances – fridges, freezers, washing machines, dryers (disconnected)
• Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors, printers and audio equipment
• Personal belongings – clothing, books, ornaments, pictures, toys
• Kitchenware – crockery, glassware, cookware, small appliances
• Office items – filing cabinets, documents, office furniture, archive boxes
• Outdoor items – garden furniture, tools, barbecues (cleaned and empty)

Items We Cannot or May Not Move

For safety, legal, and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need special arrangements:

• Hazardous materials – fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint, solvents
• Illegal items or contraband of any kind
• Live animals and pets
• Perishable or frozen food for long-distance moves
• Very high value items (art, antiques, jewellery) without prior agreement
• Large pianos or specialist machinery without a specific survey

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during your survey so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with basic details of your move: current and new addresses, type of property, and preferred dates. We discuss your requirements, such as packing, dismantling, and any access issues. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate and suggest the most suitable service options.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

We then arrange a virtual or onsite survey to assess volume, access, and any special items. This can be done by video call, photos, or an in-person visit, depending on your preference and the complexity of the move. The survey allows us to quote accurately, allocate the right size vehicle and team, and plan timings properly.

3. Packing & Preparation

Before moving day, you can either pack your own belongings or choose our professional packing service. We supply sturdy boxes and purpose-made materials, including wardrobe cartons, bubble wrap and furniture covers. On packing day, our trained team labels each box clearly by room and content type to make unloading and finding essentials easier.

4. Loading & Transport

On the day, our trained crew arrives at the agreed time, protects floors and key access areas, and begins systematic loading. Large items are dismantled where necessary and wrapped, while boxes are stacked securely to avoid movement in transit. Our vehicles are equipped with blankets, straps, and trolleys, and all goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance during the journey.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload in an organised order, placing furniture and boxes in the rooms you specify. Items we dismantled are reassembled, and we will position heavier pieces where you want them so you are not left struggling later. Before we leave, we check that everything has been unloaded and that you are happy with the layout and condition of your belongings.

Transparent Pricing and How We Charge

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

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, parking distance)
• Distance between addresses
• Services required (packing, dismantling, storage, special items)
• Day of the week and any out-of-hours requirements

Once we have completed your survey, we provide a clear written quotation with no hidden extras for the services agreed. Any optional costs (for example, packing materials or storage) are itemised, so you can make informed decisions and control your budget.

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

Moving yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van may appear cheaper, but it often comes with extra stress, additional trips, risk of damage, and no meaningful insurance. As a professional removals company, we provide:

• Trained, professional teams who move heavy and delicate items safely
• Appropriate vehicles with the right equipment and protective materials
• Planned timings, structured loading, and efficient unloading
• Coverage under goods in transit insurance and public liability
• Written agreements and clear accountability if anything goes wrong

*In many cases, using professionals actually reduces the overall cost when you factor in time off work, fuel, vehicle hire, and potential breakages.*

Insurance and Professional Standards

Surrey Movers operates to high professional standards to protect you and your belongings at every stage.

• Goods in transit insurance – Your belongings are covered while being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
• Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event that we cause accidental damage to property or third parties.
• Trained moving teams – Staff are trained in safe lifting, wrapping, loading, and handling specialist items.
• Documented procedures – From inventory checks to claims handling and complaints procedures.

We are committed to honest communication. We explain coverage clearly before your move and are happy to discuss any high-value or unusual items that may need special arrangements.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move as if it were our own property being transported. That means careful planning and a focus on protection:

• Use of furniture blankets, mattress covers, and door-frame protectors
• Floor protection for carpets, wooden floors, and communal areas
• Systematic labelling and handling of fragile items

We are also conscious of sustainability. Where possible, we:

• Reuse and recycle packing materials responsibly
• Offer reusable crates for some moves
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Encourage clients to declutter responsibly through local recycling and charity options

Real-World Removal Scenarios We Handle

Moving House Within Surrey

Most of our work involves families and individuals moving between homes in Surrey. We manage tight exchange and completion dates, chain uncertainties, and last-minute timing changes, keeping you updated and adjusting plans where we reasonably can.

Office and Business Relocations

For business moves, we plan in detail to reduce downtime. This may include evening or weekend moves, phased relocations floor by floor, and close coordination with your IT team to protect equipment and data.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves are urgent – a tenancy ending unexpectedly, a sale completing quicker than planned, or personal circumstances changing. Where we have availability, we can organise short-notice removals, arranging a rapid survey and focused packing plan to get you moved safely and on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removal companies in Surrey typically charge?

Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, access at each address, distance travelled, and any additional services such as packing or dismantling. A small flat move within Surrey may be a few hundred pounds, while a larger family home or office relocation will cost more. After carrying out a virtual or onsite survey, we provide a fixed, written quotation so you know the full cost in advance, with no hidden extras for the services agreed.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often help with same-day or urgent moves, depending on existing bookings and the scale of the job. Smaller flat or student moves are usually easiest to arrange at short notice, while larger house or office relocations may require at least some planning time. If you need to move urgently, contact us as soon as possible with your details. We will check vehicle and crew availability, suggest practical options, and prioritise essential items to ensure a safe and orderly move.

What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?

Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to the terms and conditions of our policy. We also hold public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to property or third parties. During your quotation, we explain what is covered, any limits or exclusions, and how to declare particularly valuable items if needed. We always recommend you keep important documents, cash, and small valuables with you rather than in the removals vehicle.

What is included in a standard removals service?

A standard removals service includes loading your boxed belongings and furniture, protecting items with blankets and covers, transporting them to your new address, and unloading them into the rooms you specify. If agreed in advance, it can also include dismantling and reassembling basic furniture such as beds and wardrobes. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials, and arranging short-term storage. During your survey, we clarify exactly what is included in your quote so there is a clear plan for moving day.

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

A casual man-and-van may suit very small moves, but it usually offers limited insurance, equipment, and planning. As a professional removals company, we provide trained teams, appropriate vehicles, protective materials, and structured loading and unloading. Your belongings are covered by goods in transit insurance, and we operate with written quotes, clear terms, and proper liability cover. This reduces the risk of damage, delays, and unexpected costs, and means you have proper support and accountability throughout the move.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

For most house moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have a likely moving window, ideally 2–4 weeks in advance, especially for Fridays and month-end dates which are very popular. That said, we understand that exchange and completion dates can change. We aim to be as flexible as possible, and we do regularly accommodate short-notice moves when our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the easier it is to reserve your preferred date and arrange any packing or extra services you may need.
