Removals in Surrey by Surrey Movers

At Surrey Movers, we provide reliable, well-organised removals across Surrey for homes and businesses of all sizes. With years of hands-on experience and local knowledge, we handle every move with care, clear communication and attention to detail, so you can focus on settling into your new space.

What Our Surrey Removals Service Includes

Our removals service covers everything you need for a smooth, low-stress move. Whether you are upsizing, downsizing, relocating your business, or moving into student accommodation, we tailor our service to your situation and timescales.

Who Our Removals Service Is For

• Homeowners moving within Surrey or further afield, including flats, terraced houses and large family homes.
• Renters needing an efficient end-of-tenancy move, often on tight deadlines.
• Landlords arranging moves for tenants or clearing and setting up properties between lets.
• Businesses relocating offices, shops, studios or light commercial premises.
• Students moving into or out of halls or shared houses, with smaller loads but fixed dates.

Items Typically Included in a Removals Job

We routinely move:

• Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs and cabinets
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers and microwaves (disconnected and ready to move)
• Personal belongings – clothes, books, toys, sports equipment and hobby items
• Fragile items – glassware, crockery, mirrors and artwork, carefully wrapped and protected
• Electronics – TVs, computers, sound systems and home office equipment
• Office contents – desks, filing cabinets, IT equipment, archives and stock

Items We Cannot Move

For safety, insurance and legal reasons, some items are excluded:

• Hazardous materials – gas bottles, fuel, paint thinners, chemicals and explosives
• Illegal or stolen goods
• Animals and live plants in bulk (small houseplants may be possible by prior arrangement)
• Perishable or unsealed food for long-distance moves
• High-value items such as jewellery, cash or important documents (these are best transported personally)

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, we will clarify during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Everything begins with a simple enquiry. You can call, email or complete our online form with your addresses, preferred dates and a brief outline of what needs moving. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you share. Where helpful, we may ask for photos or a short video of each room to better understand the volume of items.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we strongly recommend a survey. This can be done virtually via video call or onsite for more complex properties or business relocations. During the survey we:

• Assess access points, parking and any restrictions
• Estimate the volume of belongings to be moved
• Identify fragile, bulky or specialist items
• Discuss packing options and timings

This allows us to allocate the right size vehicles, the correct number of movers and the necessary materials on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer flexible packing options:

• Full packing service – our trained team packs everything for you using high-quality boxes and protective materials.
• Part packing service – we pack fragile or high-risk items; you handle the rest.
• Self-pack – you pack your own boxes; we supply materials if required and complete the move.

On the day, we protect floors and surfaces as needed and carefully prepare larger items for safe transit.

4. Loading & Transport

Our experienced movers load your belongings methodically, securing items to minimise movement in transit. Furniture is wrapped or blanketed, and fragile boxes are clearly marked and stacked appropriately. Your goods are transported in well-maintained vehicles, fully covered by our goods in transit insurance, with routes planned to avoid unnecessary delays where possible.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload systematically into the rooms you specify. We place furniture where requested and can reassemble items we have dismantled as part of the service, if agreed in advance. Before leaving, we invite you to walk through the property with us to ensure everything is where you want it and nothing has been overlooked.

Transparent Removals Pricing in Surrey

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Your quote is based on:

• Volume of items and number of rooms
• Distance between properties
• Access issues (stairs, lifts, long carries, restricted parking)
• Level of packing service required
• Any specialist handling or additional staff needed

All costs are clearly itemised, so you can see exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges, such as out-of-hours work or storage, are discussed and agreed before the move date.

Why Choose Professional Removals Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Using a professional removals company offers several important advantages over doing it yourself or hiring an unvetted man-and-van:

• Professional planning and coordination, reducing the risk of delays and last-minute issues.
• Trained teams who know how to lift, carry and load safely, protecting both your belongings and your property.
• Fully insured services, so your goods are covered in transit and onsite.
• Appropriate vehicles, equipment and materials for secure transport.
• Clear contracts and agreed terms, giving you confidence about what will happen on the day.

DIY moves often end up more stressful, time-consuming and physically demanding than expected. A professional service allows you to hand over the heavy work and focus on the practicalities of your new home or business premises.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised professional standards:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being transported.
• Public liability cover for peace of mind in the event of accidental damage or injury.
• Trained moving teams who understand best practice for lifting, packing and handling fragile items.

Full details of our cover are available on request, and we are happy to explain how this applies to your particular move so you understand exactly what is protected.

Local Expertise Across Surrey

As a Surrey-based removals company, we know the local area well – from town centre flats with restricted access to larger properties on narrower country lanes. This local knowledge helps us to:

• Plan routes that avoid known bottlenecks where possible
• Understand parking restrictions and loading limitations
• Coordinate with building managers and concierge services
• Allow realistic loading and travel times

This practical understanding of Surrey’s roads and properties makes our moves smoother and more predictable for our clients.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We know that many of the items we move are more than just possessions – they carry memories and value. Our teams handle your belongings as if they were their own, using protective covers, blankets and appropriate packing materials to minimise the risk of damage.

We also aim to work in a more sustainable way by:

• Reusing sturdy packing materials where appropriate
• Offering return and reuse of boxes after your move
• Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage

By combining careful handling with mindful planning, we reduce waste and keep your move as efficient as possible.

Real-World Removals Use Cases

Moving House

Whether you are moving from a one-bed flat or a large family home, we handle full household moves across Surrey and beyond. We can coordinate with your key collection time and work around completion dates, helping to keep the day as straightforward as it can be.

Office and Business Relocations

For businesses, downtime is critical. We plan office moves to minimise disruption, often scheduling work outside core trading hours. We carefully pack IT equipment, confidential files and stock, so your team can get back to work quickly in the new location.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves happen faster than expected – a sale goes through quickly, a tenancy change is brought forward, or circumstances simply change. Subject to availability, we can often accommodate urgent or short-notice removals within Surrey, providing the same level of care and professionalism while working to compressed timescales.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Surrey typically cost?

The cost of removals in Surrey depends mainly on the size of your property, the volume of items, distance travelled and any packing or specialist services required. A small flat move within the same town will naturally cost less than a large family home moving across the country. After an initial enquiry and survey, we provide a clear, itemised quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras, and we are always happy to explain how the price has been calculated.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often help with same-day or urgent removals, particularly within Surrey, but this depends on vehicle and crew availability. If you have a last-minute move, contact us as early as possible with full details, including addresses, access information and what needs moving. We will confirm quickly whether we can accommodate your date and outline realistic options. While planning time is always helpful, our team is experienced at working efficiently under pressure while still maintaining safe handling and professional standards.

What insurance cover do you provide during a move?

Your belongings are protected 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 properties. This combination gives you reassurance that, in the unlikely event of damage or an incident, there is proper protection in place. We explain the key terms and any exclusions before your move, and you are welcome to ask for written confirmation of our cover levels if you need them for your own records or for business compliance purposes.

What is included in a standard removals service?

A standard removals service includes loading your furniture and boxes, transporting them to the new address and unloading into your chosen rooms. We provide protective blankets and securing equipment as standard. Optional extras can include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and short-term storage if there is a gap between properties. All inclusions are listed in your quote so you know exactly what to expect on moving day and can add or remove services as needed.

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

A professional removals service offers structured planning, trained staff and fully insured operations, whereas a casual man-and-van may not provide the same level of protection or reliability. We carry appropriate insurance, use purpose-built vehicles and follow proven packing and loading methods. Our quotes are written and detailed, and we allocate enough staff to complete the job safely and on time. This is particularly important for larger moves, fragile items, business relocations and situations where timing and care are critical.

How far in advance should I book my removals in Surrey?

Ideally, you should book your removals as soon as you have a confirmed move date. For busy periods, such as school holidays and month-ends, two to four weeks’ notice is often advisable to secure your preferred day. However, we understand that dates can change, so we aim to be as flexible as possible. Even if your timeline is shorter, it is still worth contacting us – we will check availability and do our best to accommodate your move within your required timeframe.
