Who Our House Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating. We handle full-property moves, including garden items, garages and sheds, with careful protection for furniture, flooring and paintwork in both properties.
Renters
Perfect for tenants moving between rented homes, flats or house shares. We can work around check-out and check-in times, help protect walls and stairwells and minimise the risk of deposit disputes over damage caused by moving.
Landlords
We assist landlords who need a property cleared between tenancies or require part-removals when refurbishing or staging. We can work to tight deadlines and coordinate key collections to keep void periods short.
Businesses
For small businesses or home offices moving in or out of Becontree Heath, we offer careful handling of computers, files, stock and office furniture, with the aim of minimising downtime and disruption.
Students
Students moving into or out of shared accommodation or halls benefit from our smaller, more flexible moves. We help with boxes, suitcases, desks, beds and personal items, including term-time and end-of-year moves.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the key details: current address, destination, property size, approximate move date and any special items. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a survey. This can be via video call or an in-person visit in Becontree Heath. We assess access, parking, staircases, lifts, and volumes so we can allocate the right vehicle size, crew numbers and time for your move.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between a full packing service, partial packing (e.g., just fragile items) or packing everything yourself. If we are packing, our trained team arrives with quality boxes, wrapping paper and tape, clearly labels everything and prepares furniture for transport.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day we arrive on time, protect floors and banisters where needed, and systematically load your belongings. Items are wrapped and secured in the vehicle using blankets and straps. We then transport your goods safely to your new property, keeping you updated if there are any delays.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new home we unload carefully, placing items into the rooms you specify. We reassemble agreed furniture, position larger items so you can use them immediately, and ensure nothing is left in the vehicle. We only leave once you are happy that everything has been unloaded and placed correctly.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of items to be moved
- Distance between properties
- Access and parking complexity
- Number of movers and vehicles required
- Whether packing materials and packing services are needed
- Any special items requiring extra time or equipment
You will receive a written quote setting out exactly what is included so there are no hidden extras on the day. If your requirements change, we discuss and agree any adjustments in advance wherever possible.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:
- Trained staff who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
- Proper vehicles with load securing points and protective materials
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Reduced risk of damage to your property and belongings
- Less physical strain and stress on you, your family or colleagues
- Efficient loading and unloading that saves significant time
With Man with Van Becontree Heath, you gain the reassurance of a professional, local team who carry out removals week in, week out, and who understand how to plan and execute a smooth move.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property
- Trained, experienced movers who follow safe lifting and handling practices
- Use of the correct equipment, including trolleys, straps and protective blankets
We work to professional standards at all times, from punctual arrival to polite communication, careful driving and respectful behaviour in your home and neighbourhood.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We know how attached people are to their possessions, and we treat every move with the same care as if it were our own home. We use:
- Furniture blankets, mattress covers and shrink wrap where needed
- Floor and banister protection for vulnerable surfaces
- Correct lifting techniques to prevent drops and impacts
We also consider sustainability wherever possible by reusing durable packing materials, using recyclable cardboard, planning efficient routes to reduce fuel use, and maintaining our vehicles to run as cleanly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Becontree Heath cost?
The cost of a house removal depends on the volume of items, distance travelled, access at both properties and whether you need packing services or materials. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger house moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Once we have your details, and ideally a survey, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras. This allows you to budget confidently and compare like-for-like with any other quotes you may receive.
Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Becontree Heath, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Urgent moves usually work best for smaller properties or partial loads, as they require less planning and fewer vehicles. If you need to move quickly, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details. We will let you know what is realistically achievable and provide a clear price before any work is confirmed.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our removals service includes goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, and public liability cover for work at your property. This is designed to give you peace of mind that you are protected if something unexpected happens. We can explain the key terms and limits in plain language before your move. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may suggest additional cover or specific handling arrangements.
What is included in a standard removals service?
A standard house removals service includes loading all agreed items, protecting furniture with blankets, safe transport to your new property, and unloading into the rooms you choose. We can also include basic disassembly and reassembly of furniture, subject to prior agreement. Optional extras include full or partial packing services and the supply of boxes and materials. Our written quote will set out exactly what is included so you know where our responsibilities begin and end, and can plan anything you wish to handle yourself.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A professional removals service offers more structure, protection and reassurance than a casual man-and-van. You benefit from trained staff, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover, proper contracts and planned timings. We use the right equipment, protect your property and belongings, and allocate enough people to complete the move efficiently. While a basic man-and-van may suit very small, low-risk moves, most households find that a professional service significantly reduces stress, risk of damage and the physical strain of moving.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as your move date is reasonably certain, especially if you are completing a house purchase. Many customers book 2–4 weeks in advance. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy start dates can change, so we try to remain flexible where possible. If you are moving at very short notice, contact us and we will do our best to fit you in around existing bookings.
