Furniture Removals
Furniture Removals Parsons Green – Man and Van Parsons Green
At Man and Van Parsons Green, we provide careful, efficient and fully managed furniture removals for homes and businesses across Parsons Green and the surrounding South West London areas. With years of hands-on experience moving everything from studio flats to full offices, we know how to handle your furniture safely, protect your property, and keep your move running on time.
Professional Furniture Removals in Parsons Green
Our furniture removals service is designed for customers who want a professional, structured move rather than a casual van and a bit of guesswork. We combine local knowledge of Parsons Green’s streets, parking restrictions and building layouts with trained moving teams and the right equipment for the job.
Whether you are moving one room or an entire property, we plan your move carefully, protect your belongings, and keep you updated from first enquiry to final placement of your furniture in your new space.
Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating within or out of Parsons Green, we manage full household furniture removals. From solid wood dining sets and wardrobes to beds, sofas and white goods, our teams ensure each item is safely wrapped, moved and placed where you want it in your new home.
Renters
For tenants moving between flats or houses, especially in buildings with tight staircases and limited lifts, our trained movers know how to handle access issues. We protect walls, floors and doors to help you leave your rental in good condition and avoid unnecessary end-of-tenancy disputes.
Landlords
Landlords in Parsons Green use our service to clear or refurnish properties between lets. We can remove old or damaged furniture, reposition items between properties, or deliver new pieces from storage, helping you turn a property around quickly and efficiently.
Businesses
Offices, shops and small commercial premises rely on us for office furniture removals and internal reconfigurations. We carefully move desks, filing cabinets, shelving, meeting tables and reception furniture, minimising downtime and disruption to your team and customers.
Students
Students moving to or from Parsons Green, or between halls and shared houses, benefit from our smaller, flexible moves. We can move beds, desks, drawers and a few boxes in one go, keeping costs sensible while still delivering a fully insured, reliable service.
What’s Included in Our Furniture Removals Service
Items We Commonly Move
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds

If you are unsure whether an item can be moved, just ask during your enquiry and we will give clear guidance.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your move: addresses, property type, access, dates and a rough list of furniture. We ask a few focused questions to understand the scope and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote. We explain what is included so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything more than a very small move, we arrange a short survey. This may be virtual (video call and photos) or onsite in Parsons Green and nearby areas. The survey lets us check access, parking, stairways and lifts, and confirm the volume and type of furniture so we can allocate the right vehicle, team and equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day, or earlier if agreed, we protect your furniture with padded covers, moving blankets and shrink wrap as appropriate. Where needed and agreed, we carefully dismantle larger pieces such as bed frames or wardrobes. Floors, bannisters and doors are also protected to prevent scuffs and scratches.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your furniture using trolleys, dollies and lifting straps to minimise manual strain and reduce risk of damage. Everything is secured in the van using webbing and restraints. We then transport your items directly to the new address, using routes that make sense for Parsons Green traffic and access.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place each item in the room you specify. Where we have dismantled furniture, we reassemble it as agreed. Before leaving, we check with you that everything is in the right place and that you are satisfied with the condition of your furniture and your property.
Transparent Furniture Removals Pricing
We believe pricing should be straightforward and explained clearly. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume and type of furniture
- Number of movers required
- Distance between properties
- Access complexity (stairs only, long carries, parking restrictions)
- Any extra services (packing, dismantling/reassembly, disposal)
We normally offer either a fixed price for clearly defined moves or an hourly rate where the scope is more flexible. All charges, including any potential extra time or congestion/parking costs, are explained before you book so there are no unwelcome surprises.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Moving furniture yourself or using a cheap, unvetted service often seems like a saving, but it can become expensive if items are damaged or injuries occur. Our professional service includes:
- Trained moving teams used to handling heavy, awkward furniture safely
- Proper equipment and vehicles designed for removals
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings
- Public liability cover for accidental damage to property
- Reliable timekeeping and structured planning
With us, you get accountability, clear communication and a move that is planned rather than improvised.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Parsons Green operates to professional standards that many informal services simply do not match. We provide:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your furniture while it is in our vehicle, subject to policy terms and limits
- Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to third-party property
- Trained moving teams – staff who understand lifting techniques, load securing and property protection
We are happy to confirm cover levels and provide proof of insurance on request, so you know exactly how your belongings are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every piece of furniture as if it were our own. Protective covers, shrink wrap, blankets and careful handling help reduce the chance of scuffs, tears or dents. We plan loading so that heavy and fragile items are secured correctly and do not shift in transit.
We are also mindful of sustainability. Where possible, we reuse durable packing materials, plan efficient routes around Parsons Green to reduce unnecessary mileage, and can help you separate unwanted items for recycling or reuse rather than landfill.
Real-World Furniture Removals Use Cases
Moving House in Parsons Green
Typical house moves involve full furniture removals from multi-storey terraces or mansion flats. We coordinate with you around lift bookings, parking suspensions and key handover times, ensuring your furniture is moved out and in within the agreed window.
Office Relocations
When relocating an office, we often move desks, chairs, storage units, meeting tables and reception furniture outside normal working hours. This keeps disruption to your staff and clients to a minimum while ensuring equipment is placed logically in the new layout.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves are last-minute due to changes in tenancy dates, sales completing quickly or unexpected issues. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or next-day furniture removals in Parsons Green, providing a structured, insured alternative to rushing with an unplanned DIY move.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture removal in Parsons Green cost?
The cost depends on the volume and type of furniture, distance between properties, access and whether you need extras such as packing or dismantling. Smaller jobs may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while larger moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. During your enquiry, we ask specific questions or carry out a short survey so we can give an accurate figure up front, including any likely parking or congestion charges, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Can you handle same-day or urgent furniture removals?
We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Parsons Green, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Smaller furniture moves are usually easier to accommodate at short notice than full property relocations. If you need urgent help, contact us as early in the day as possible with details of what needs moving, addresses and access. We will confirm availability, likely timings and costs before you commit, so you can make a clear decision under time pressure.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance that covers your furniture while it is being transported in our vehicle, along with public liability cover for accidental damage to property. As with any insurance, certain limits and exclusions apply, which we are happy to explain before you book. We also reduce the likelihood of any claim by using protective coverings, proper securing in the vehicle and trained staff who handle furniture safely. If you have particularly high-value items, please mention them during the quote.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture between the agreed addresses, plus basic protection using blankets, padded covers and straps. At your new property, we place items in the rooms you specify. Optional extras can include dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, packing of smaller items, disposal of unwanted pieces and out-of-hours moves. Everything that is and is not included is made clear in your written quote, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited protection, no formal survey and often no clear insurance cover. Our professional furniture removals service includes planning, trained staff, protective materials, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and reliable timekeeping. We assess access, bring the right equipment, and manage the move from start to finish. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, and gives you a single point of responsibility for the whole process.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For best availability and planning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially for busy periods such as month-end, Fridays and bank holidays. Larger household or office moves in Parsons Green benefit from even more notice so we can arrange surveys, parking and any building access requirements. That said, we do keep some flexibility in our schedule and can often accommodate shorter-notice moves. The earlier you contact us with your preferred date, the more options we can offer.
Student Removals
Student Removals Parsons Green – Man and Van Parsons Green
Flexible, Affordable Student Removals in Parsons Green
At Man and Van Parsons Green, we provide straightforward, affordable student removals designed around busy academic timetables. Whether you are moving into halls, changing house shares, or heading home for the summer, our professional team makes the process simple, safe and efficient.
We understand that most students are working to a budget, may not have access to a car, and often need to move at short notice. Our service is built to handle exactly that – small but important loads, shared moves with friends, and tight time slots between exams, work and travel.
Local Expertise in Parsons Green
Based right in the heart of Parsons Green, we know the local streets, building layouts and parking restrictions extremely well. This local knowledge keeps your move running on time and reduces stress on the day.
We regularly complete moves to and from:
- University halls and student accommodation across West and Central London
- Shared houses and flats around Parsons Green, Fulham and surrounding areas
- Storage units for students between tenancies or going abroad
- Parents’ homes elsewhere in London or further afield
Our drivers and porters are used to tight staircases, basement flats and top-floor walk-ups common in Parsons Green. We plan ahead so that access, timing and parking do not become last‑minute problems.
Who Our Student Removals Service Is For
While this page focuses on student moves, our service is suitable for a wide range of customers in Parsons Green and beyond:
- Homeowners – Downsizing, moving locally or helping children move to university.
- Renters – Changing flat, moving between house shares, or relocating within London.
- Landlords – Clearing or setting up student lets between tenancies.
- Businesses – Small office or studio moves for start‑ups and freelancers.
- Students – Moving into halls, new shared housing, or into and out of storage.
If you are not sure whether your move is “big enough” for a removals service, simply ask. We regularly handle both very small and larger student moves, and can match the vehicle and team size to what you actually need.
What’s Included in Our Student Removals Service
Typical Items We Move
Our team handles most everyday student belongings, including:
- Suitcases, bags, boxes and crates
- Desks, chairs, small bookcases and bedside tables
- Mattresses and bedframes (dismantled where necessary)
- PCs, laptops, monitors and gaming equipment
- TVs, speakers and small home entertainment systems
- Kitchen equipment: microwaves, kettles, toasters, pans
- Clothing rails, sports equipment and personal items
Items We Cannot Move or Move Only by Prior Arrangement
For safety and legal reasons there are some items we exclude or need to discuss in advance:
- Hazardous or flammable materials (fuel, gas cylinders, certain chemicals)
- Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
- Large commercial machinery or industrial equipment
- Animals or live plants on long journeys, unless agreed beforehand
- High-value artwork, jewellery or cash – these should be moved personally where possible
If you have anything unusual or particularly fragile, let us know during the quote stage so we can advise and plan correctly.
Our Step-by-Step Student Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your moving dates, addresses and a rough list of items. We will ask a few questions about access, floors, lifts and timing. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day. For straightforward student moves, this is often all that is needed.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger student moves – for example, when you are sharing a van with housemates or moving a full flat – we may recommend a short virtual video survey or an onsite visit. This helps us ensure the right van size, number of porters and time slot, preventing unexpected delays or extra costs on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack your own belongings, or we can provide a packing service at an additional cost. Most students prefer to pack themselves with guidance from us, and we can supply quality boxes and materials if required. We advise labelling boxes clearly by room and fragility, and separating items you will need immediately on arrival.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives within the agreed window, carries out a quick walk‑through, and then starts loading. We protect furniture and fragile items with blankets, straps and appropriate wrapping. Everything is secured carefully in the van before departure. We then travel directly to your new address, using efficient routes and observing all parking rules.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just to the doorway. We can reassemble beds and basic furniture if this was agreed in advance. Before we leave, we ask you to check each room and confirm you are satisfied that all listed items have been delivered and placed where needed.
Transparent, Fair Pricing for Student Moves
We know cost is a key concern for students, so our pricing is kept simple and transparent. We typically price student removals using either:
- Hourly rates for smaller, local moves within Parsons Green and nearby areas
- Fixed prices for longer distances or clearly defined loads
Your quote will clearly state what is included: number of movers, van size, estimated time, and any additional services such as packing or materials. There are no hidden charges for stairs or standard waiting times, and any potential extras (for example, congestion charges or parking fees) are discussed up front.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company like Man and Van Parsons Green provides several advantages over borrowing a car or hiring an unregulated casual driver:
- Safety and protection – Proper lifting techniques, trolleys and protective equipment reduce damage and injury.
- Fully insured – Your belongings are protected under our Goods in Transit and Public Liability policies.
- Reliability – Confirmed booking times and written confirmations, not last‑minute cancellations.
- Efficiency – Experienced movers complete the job faster, saving you time and stress.
- Compliance – Road‑worthy, well-maintained vehicles and drivers who follow regulations.
For many students, the small extra cost compared with DIY is easily justified by the reduced risk, saved time and peace of mind.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously. Man and Van Parsons Green operates to high professional standards and carries appropriate cover, including:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are being transported in our vehicles.
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
- Trained moving teams who understand correct lifting techniques, packing methods and safe loading practices.
Details of cover and limits are available on request. We encourage customers to mention any single items of particularly high value so they can be considered appropriately.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We believe in looking after both your belongings and the environment:
- Use of reusable removal blankets, straps and containers wherever possible
- Thoughtful journey planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions
- Option to collect and re‑use boxes after your move, reducing waste
- Careful handling to avoid breakages, which saves you money and avoids waste
Our aim is to deliver a safe, efficient move while minimising our environmental footprint and treating properties with respect – from student halls to shared houses and family homes.
Real-World Student Removals Use Cases
Moving into Halls from Parsons Green
If you live in or around Parsons Green and are heading to university halls, we can collect from your home and deliver directly to your campus accommodation, even if that is in another city. We schedule moves to fit around your arrival slots and university check‑in times.
Changing House Share Locally
Many students move between flats and house shares in the Parsons Green and Fulham area each year. Our smaller vans are ideal for these short, local moves, often completed within a few hours. We can also move multiple housemates together and split the cost.
Urgent or End-of-Tenancy Moves
Last‑minute change of plans or a tenancy ending sooner than expected? Subject to availability, we can often provide same‑day or next‑day student removals. We are used to tight deadlines, check‑out inspections and the need to clear properties fully and on time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do student removals in Parsons Green cost?
Costs depend on the size of your load, access at each property, distance travelled and whether you need extra services such as packing. Smaller local student moves within Parsons Green are often charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while longer‑distance moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. To keep costs down, we recommend being clear about exactly what you are moving and having everything packed and ready. We are always happy to discuss options to suit student budgets.
Can you handle same-day or urgent student moves?
Yes, we can often accommodate same‑day or short‑notice student removals, particularly outside peak times. Availability depends on existing bookings and the size of your move, so it is best to call us as soon as you know you need help. We will let you know immediately what time slots we can offer and provide an honest estimate of how long the move will take. While advance booking is always recommended, we understand that plans can change quickly at university and we do our best to be flexible.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Your items are covered by our Goods in Transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we also hold Public Liability cover. This means you have protection in the unlikely event of damage or an incident during the move. Some exclusions and limits apply, especially for unusually high‑value items, so we always advise telling us about anything particularly valuable when booking. For everyday student belongings – clothes, books, electronics and furniture – our standard cover is usually more than sufficient.
What’s included in your student removals service?
Our standard student removals service includes a suitable van, a professional moving team, safe loading and unloading, and transport between the agreed addresses. We place items in the rooms you specify and protect furniture with blankets and straps. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture, and extra stops for collections or drop‑offs. Your written quote will clearly list what is included, so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
While both involve a van and driver, a professional removals company offers much more structure and protection. We provide written quotes, booking confirmations, trained staff, appropriate insurance and well‑maintained vehicles. Our teams are experienced in handling heavy and fragile items, planning access and dealing with landlords or building managers. A casual man‑and‑van may be cheaper at first glance, but often lacks insurance, reliability and support if something goes wrong. For most students, the added security and professionalism are well worth the modest difference in price.
How far in advance should I book my student move?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially around the start and end of term, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance. Peak periods – such as late September and June – can fill up quickly. However, we know student plans can change, so if you are booking later than this, contact us anyway and we will do our best to fit you in. Even a few days’ notice is often enough for smaller local moves within Parsons Green, subject to availability.

Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with basic details: current and destination postcodes, flat size, access notes and your preferred moving date. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining what is and isn’t included so you can make an informed decision.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything beyond a very small move, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and the volume of goods. A proper survey ensures the right size vehicle, the right number of professional movers and the correct time allowance.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the run-up to moving day, you can either pack yourself using materials we can supply, or book our packing service. On the day, we protect key items with covers and blankets, and can disassemble furniture where necessary. Floors, bannisters and communal areas are shielded as needed.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your belongings carefully and systematically, ensuring weight is distributed correctly and fragile items are cushioned and secured. We use modern, well-maintained vehicles, fully equipped with straps, blankets and trolleys for safe transport from Parsons Green to your new address.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload and place items directly into the rooms you specify, reassemble any agreed furniture and remove our protective materials. We encourage you to check each room as we work so that any adjustments can be made before we leave.
Transparent Pricing for Flat Removals
We price flat removals in Parsons Green fairly and transparently. Costs are based on:
- Volume of goods and size of property
- Access at both addresses (stairs, lifts, walking distance to vehicle)
- Distance between properties
- Level of service (self-pack, part-pack or full packing)
- Any special handling requirements
We’ll provide a clear written estimate with no hidden extras, explaining when hourly rates or fixed prices are most appropriate. Any potential additional charges (for example, waiting time beyond agreed limits) are always discussed in advance.
Why Choose a Professional Removal Service Over DIY
Moving from a flat can be physically demanding and time-sensitive. Choosing a professional removal company brings benefits that DIY or a casual man-with-a-van often cannot match:
- Trained teams who know how to navigate tight spaces without damage
- Proper tools and equipment for lifting, carrying and protecting furniture
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while on the move
- Reduced risk of injury to yourself or damage to building common areas
- Better planning and time management, especially with strict move-in slots
For flats, where access and timing are often critical, the difference in stress levels between DIY and using a specialist like Man and Van Parsons Green is significant.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised industry standards.
- Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to terms and declared values.
- Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property or injury.
- Trained moving teams – Our crew is experienced, briefed on each job and follows agreed procedures for lifting and handling.
Policy details and limits are available on request, and we’re happy to explain how cover applies to your specific move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to move your belongings safely while minimising our environmental impact.
- Use of reusable furniture blankets, protective covers and crates where practical
- Encouraging reuse of cartons and offering options for box collection after the move
- Route planning to avoid unnecessary mileage and idling
- Careful handling to reduce breakages and waste
Inside your building, we protect floors and surfaces as needed and treat neighbours and building staff with courtesy, helping maintain good relationships in shared spaces.
Real-World Flat Removal Use Cases
Moving Between Flats in Parsons Green
Many of our customers are moving from one local flat to another. We often complete these in a single, well-organised day, coordinating keys, lift bookings and parking to keep everything running smoothly.
Office or Home-Office Relocation
If you run a business or work from a flat, we can relocate workstations, screens and filing systems with clear labelling and inventory, helping you get back to work quickly at the new address.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Tenancy changes, chain movements or unexpected events can create urgent moves. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day flat removals in Parsons Green, scaling the team and vehicle size to match your needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a flat removal in Parsons Green cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your flat, the volume of belongings, access at each property and the distance travelled. Smaller studio or one-bedroom moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger flats are often quoted as a fixed price following a survey. Additional services such as packing, materials and furniture assembly will also affect the total. We always provide a clear, written estimate before you commit, outlining exactly what’s included so you can budget with confidence.
Can you handle same-day or urgent flat removals?
Yes, we can often assist with same-day or short-notice flat removals in Parsons Green, depending on existing bookings and the scale of the move. Smaller moves are usually easier to accommodate at short notice, while larger flats may require more planning. The best approach is to contact us as soon as you know you may need to move urgently. We’ll confirm availability, outline realistic timescales and provide a clear quote so you can make a quick decision without added stress.
What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?
We provide goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, alongside public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property. As with any policy, certain terms, conditions and limits apply, and high-value or unusual items may need to be declared in advance. We’re happy to talk you through the details before you book, so you fully understand how your items are covered throughout the move.
What’s included in your flat removals service as standard?
As standard, our service includes a suitably sized vehicle, a professional moving team, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We place items into the rooms you specify and take reasonable care to protect your property and communal areas. Packing, unpacking, packing materials and furniture assembly can be added if required. All inclusions are clearly listed in your quote, so you know exactly which services you are receiving and can add extras if you wish.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While we do offer man and van-style flexibility, our approach is that of a full removal service. We provide trained staff, proper equipment, structured planning and fully insured operations. We conduct surveys where appropriate, coordinate access and parking, and protect your belongings and property throughout the move. A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, low-risk jobs, but for most flats – especially those with difficult access or valuable contents – a structured removal service offers far greater reliability and peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book my flat removal?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially if you plan to move at the end of the month, on a Friday or during peak seasons. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal for most flat moves, allowing time for a survey, planning and arranging any building or parking permissions. However, if your dates are not yet fixed, we can still provide estimates and hold provisional slots. We also do our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever our schedule and resources allow.

- Disposal of pianos as waste (can be arranged separately, subject to regulations)
We will always discuss any concerns at the survey stage so you know exactly what is and isn’t possible before move day.
Our Step-by-Step Piano Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
Once you contact Man and Van Parsons Green, we will ask for key details: piano type, approximate dimensions, current and destination addresses, floor levels, stairs, lifts and any access restrictions. Using this information, we provide a clear written quote outlining what is included, any additional services and anticipated timescales.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most piano moves we carry out a short virtual survey via video call or photos. For more complex jobs – such as grand pianos, tight staircases or listed buildings – we may visit in person. The survey allows us to assess access, choose the right equipment, confirm the crew size and check for any obstacles like sharp turns, low ceilings or uneven surfaces.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day, our trained team will prepare your piano for moving by:
- Protecting floors, bannisters and door frames as required
- Covering the piano with thick, quilted pads and securing them
- Locking the lid and securing any movable parts
- Placing the instrument onto a piano skid or suitable dolly, if needed
For grands and baby grands, we may remove legs and pedals in line with manufacturer guidance, label components and wrap them separately.
4. Loading & Transport
Your piano is moved carefully from the property to our vehicle using appropriate lifting techniques and teamwork. We secure it in the van using webbing straps and non-slip surfaces to prevent any movement during transport. Our vehicles are maintained to a high standard and come with goods in transit insurance for your peace of mind.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we reverse the process just as carefully. We bring the piano into the property, position it in the room you choose and remove all protective materials. If required, we can make small adjustments to the final placement so you can find the ideal position. We recommend arranging a tuning a little while after the move, as changes in temperature and humidity can affect the sound.
Transparent Pricing for Piano Removals
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our piano removals in Parsons Green are typically priced based on:
- Type and size of piano
- Distance between addresses
- Number of floors and presence of lifts
- Complexity of access (tight turns, narrow staircases, long carries)
- Any additional services, such as combined household removals
You will receive a clear written quotation with no hidden charges. Parking fees or congestion-related costs will be explained in advance where applicable, so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Use Professional Piano Movers Instead of DIY
Pianos are heavy, awkward and mechanically delicate. Attempting to move them yourself or using a casual man-and-van service risks damage to the instrument, your property and people involved. Our specialist piano removals offer:
- Professional handling by experienced teams
- Proper equipment designed for piano transport
- Fully insured cover for your instrument while in our care
- Reduced risk of injury from incorrect lifting
- Efficient planning that saves time and stress
Choosing a professional service protects not only your piano, but also your home and your back.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Parsons Green operates to clear, professional standards on every job:
- Goods in transit insurance for items we are transporting, including pianos
- Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property
- Trained moving teams with experience in piano handling and access management
- Careful risk assessments for complex moves
We are happy to confirm cover levels and answer any questions about how our insurance applies to your particular piano move before you book.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your piano is always handled as a valuable and sensitive item. We use high-quality protective materials, secure strapping and safe lifting techniques to minimise movement, vibration and impact. Property protection is equally important to us – we take care with walls, floors and doorways at both ends of the move.
Where possible, we use reusable covers and pads, plan efficient routes to cut unnecessary mileage and maintain our vehicles properly to reduce emissions. Our aim is to carry out each move with care for your instrument and consideration for the local environment.
Real-World Piano Removal Use Cases
Moving House
Many clients combine a full household move with our specialist piano service. We can schedule the piano as part of the main removal or as a separate, focused job, depending on access and timing. Either way, we ensure the instrument receives the particular attention it requires.
Office, School and Studio Relocations
We regularly help schools, studios, rehearsal spaces and offices relocate pianos and digital instruments. Moves can be timed around teaching schedules, rehearsals or opening hours to minimise disruption to your organisation.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes a piano needs to be moved quickly – for example, ahead of building works, new flooring or a fast-approaching completion date. Subject to availability, we can often accommodate short-notice and same-day piano removals in Parsons Green and nearby areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a piano removal in Parsons Green cost?
The cost depends mainly on the type of piano, access at both properties and the distance travelled. Upright pianos with straightforward ground-floor access are typically at the lower end of the price range, while grand pianos or difficult staircases cost more due to extra labour and equipment. We provide a tailored quotation after a brief assessment of your move details, so you know exactly what you will pay before you book, with no hidden extras for standard work.
Can you do same-day or urgent piano removals?
Yes, we can often help with urgent or short-notice piano moves in Parsons Green, depending on our schedule and the complexity of the job. Simple upright moves with good access are usually easier to accommodate at short notice than large grands or challenging stairwells, which may require more planning. If you need a piano moved quickly, contact us as early as possible with full details so we can check availability and provide a realistic timescale and cost.
Is my piano insured during the move?
While your piano is in our care, it is covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to policy terms and declared value. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to property. We always encourage clients to tell us about especially high-value or rare instruments so we can confirm appropriate cover before the move. Our team focuses strongly on prevention – careful handling, proper equipment and thorough planning – so that insurance remains a safety net rather than something you rely on.
What is included in your piano removals service?
Our service includes planning the move, providing the right crew and equipment, protective wrapping of the piano, safe loading, secure transport and careful unloading and placement at the new location. We also protect property where needed with pads and covers. Standard quotes cover realistic access based on the information you provide. Additional services, such as combining the move with a full house removal or working outside normal hours, can be arranged and will be shown clearly in your quote.
How is a professional piano removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service may not have the specific training, equipment or insurance required for pianos. Our dedicated piano removals use trained teams, piano skids, heavy-duty padding and secure strapping. We carry out a survey, plan access, and our fully insured cover is designed for this type of work. This reduces the risk of damage to the piano and your property, and helps avoid injuries. In short, you are paying for expertise and preparation, not just a van and a couple of pairs of hands.
How far in advance should I book a piano removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you are moving at busy periods such as month-end or weekends. However, we understand that is not always possible, and we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us with full details of your piano and access, the easier it is for us to plan the right team, equipment and vehicle for your move.

What Our Man with Van Service Includes
Items and Tasks We Commonly Move
Our team in Parsons Green regularly handles:
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chests of drawers
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, tumble dryers (disconnected and ready to move)
- Boxes and bags – books, clothes, kitchenware, personal belongings

Items We Cannot Move
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we are unable to carry:
- Hazardous materials – petrol, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners
- Illegal items or anything that breaches UK regulations
- Livestock or pets (we can recommend specialist pet carriers)
- Industrial machinery not suitable for a standard Luton or panel van
- Excessively valuable items such as fine art or jewellery without prior agreement
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, just ask when you enquire and we will advise you clearly.
Our Step-by-Step Man with Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: addresses, dates, a list of items and any access notes. We will provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume, distance and time required. For straightforward man with van jobs, we can usually quote the same day.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves in Parsons Green, we may suggest a short virtual survey (video call) or an onsite visit. This helps us check parking, stairs, lifts and any access restrictions, and ensures we send the right van size and crew. For simpler one- or two-room moves, a detailed item list is usually enough.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Self-packing – You pack your own boxes; we advise on materials and labelling so loading is smooth.
- Partial packing – We pack fragile or heavy items such as glassware, TVs and mirrors.
On moving day we bring blankets, straps and basic tools for disassembly and reassembly of standard furniture if agreed in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team arrives on time, walks through the job with you and plans the loading order. Items are wrapped and secured in the van to minimise movement during transit. We drive directly from collection to delivery, using the most sensible route for traffic and access in and around Parsons Green.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property we unload, place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify and reassemble any agreed items. Before we leave, we invite you to walk around and check you are happy with the placement and that nothing is missing or damaged.
Transparent Man with Van Pricing in Parsons Green
We believe in simple, honest pricing. Our man with van rates are typically based on:
- Van size and number of movers required
- Estimated time required (minimum booking period applies)
- Distance between addresses and any extra stops
- Optional services such as packing or furniture assembly
You will receive a clear breakdown before you book, with no hidden extras. Parking charges, congestion or clean air zone fees in London are always confirmed in advance where they apply. For regular business customers in Parsons Green, we can arrange account terms and pre-agreed rates.
Why Choose a Professional Man with Van over DIY
Hiring a professional man with van service is about more than just having a vehicle. We provide:
- Experienced movers who know how to protect property, navigate tight stairways and load safely
- Proper equipment – trolleys, ramps, blankets and straps to prevent damage
- Fully insured transport, reducing your risk if the unexpected happens
- Time savings – we work efficiently so you can focus on utilities, keys and paperwork
- Reduced risk of personal injury from lifting heavy or awkward items yourself
Compared to borrowing a van or using a casual, uninsured operator, a structured, insured service offers far greater peace of mind.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our Parsons Green man with van service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are in our vehicle, subject to terms and declared values.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during handling and moving.
- Trained moving teams – all staff are briefed on safe lifting, careful handling and property protection.
Policy details and limits are available on request; we are always transparent about what is and is not covered so you can make informed decisions.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to move you efficiently while treating your belongings – and the local area – with respect.
- Protective blankets and floor coverings used where appropriate to prevent marks and scuffs.
- Secure loading and strapping to reduce the risk of damage in transit.
- Reusable crates and strong boxes available by arrangement to cut down on single-use packaging.
- Old furniture and unwanted items can be taken to authorised recycling centres, helping to reduce landfill.
- Route planning around Parsons Green to minimise unnecessary mileage where practical.
Our approach balances efficient working with careful handling and a responsible attitude to waste and emissions.
Real-World Use Cases in Parsons Green
Moving House or Flat
Many local moves in Parsons Green do not require a full-size removal lorry. Our man with van service is perfect for one- and two-bedroom flats, part moves or downsizing. We understand local parking and access quirks and can help coordinate with building management or neighbours where needed.
Office and Small Business Moves
From relocating a small office to moving a few workstations, our team can move desks, chairs, files and IT equipment with minimal downtime. We can work outside standard hours to help keep your business running smoothly.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Things do not always go to plan – tenancy dates change, sales complete quickly, or a vehicle hire falls through. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or next-day man with van support in Parsons Green, prioritising essential items if time is tight.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with van service in Parsons Green cost?
Costs depend on the size of van, number of movers, time required and distance between addresses. For smaller moves within Parsons Green, many jobs are priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while longer or more complex moves may be quoted as a fixed price. Parking fees, congestion or clean air zone charges are discussed and agreed in advance. The best way to get an accurate figure is to provide a clear item list and photos so we can assess the work properly.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man with van bookings?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Parsons Green, depending on existing bookings and crew availability. If you need urgent support, call us as early as possible with your locations, a rough inventory and preferred times. We will confirm what we can realistically achieve, prioritising essential items if time is limited. While we do our best to accommodate emergencies, advance booking is always recommended during busy periods such as weekends and month-ends.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle, and by public liability cover while we are working on your premises. Insurance operates within specific limits and conditions, which we are happy to explain before you book. To ensure full protection, we ask you to pack carefully, declare any particularly high-value items and inform us of pre-existing damage. For very high-value possessions, you may also wish to speak with your own insurer about additional cover.
What is included in your man with van service?
Our standard service includes a suitable van, one or more professional movers, loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide blankets, straps and basic tools for agreed furniture disassembly and reassembly. Optional extras include packing assistance, supply of boxes and materials, and disposal runs to licensed recycling centres. We do not usually include packing materials as standard, but we can provide them at competitive prices if requested in advance.
What is the difference between your removals and man with van services?
Our full removals service is designed for larger, more complex moves and usually includes a detailed survey, a larger team, more planning and, if required, full packing and unpacking. The man with van service is more flexible and cost-effective for smaller loads, partial moves and short local trips. Both options are fully insured and carried out by trained staff, but the man with van service typically uses smaller vehicles and is booked for shorter time slots, making it ideal for flats, students and light commercial moves.
How far in advance should I book?
For moves in Parsons Green, we recommend booking your man with van at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time. Fridays, weekends and month-ends are usually the busiest. That said, we do hold some flexibility for short-notice jobs, and cancellations sometimes free up space. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil in a provisional slot and confirm once your plans are finalised, subject to availability.
Same day Removals
Same day Removals Parsons Green
When you need to move today, you need a removals team that can respond quickly, plan efficiently and still treat your belongings with care. Man and Van Parsons Green provides reliable, structured same day removals across Parsons Green and the surrounding SW6 area, delivered by experienced, professional movers.
Same Day Removals Service Explained
Our same day removals service is designed for situations where you cannot wait for a traditional booking slot. Whether you have been let down by another company, received short-notice keys, or need to vacate a property urgently, we can help.
Subject to availability, we can deploy one or more vehicles and a trained team the same day to carry out:
- Full house moves within or from Parsons Green
- Flat and apartment moves, including upper floors
- Office and small business relocations
- Student moves to and from halls or shared houses
- Part-load and single item moves for urgent deliveries
Even on same day bookings, we still follow a clear process, using proper equipment and protective materials to keep your items safe.
Local Expertise in Parsons Green
Working daily in Parsons Green gives us a strong understanding of local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts. From Victorian terraces off New Kings Road to mansion blocks near Parsons Green station, we know the quirks that can slow a move down and plan around them.
We can advise on:
- Best access routes for removals vehicles
- Loading and unloading points for flats and offices
- Timing moves to avoid traffic hotspots where possible
This local knowledge is especially important on same day removals, where time is tight and efficiency matters.
Who Our Same Day Removals Are For
Homeowners
If your completion date has shifted unexpectedly or another mover has cancelled, we can step in quickly. Our team can handle full household contents, including large furniture, white goods and fragile items, loading and transporting everything safely on the same day.
Renters
Tenancy end dates, disputes or landlord requirements can force fast moves. We offer flexible, fully insured same day removals for tenants in Parsons Green, from studio flats up to large shared houses, helping you vacate on time and avoid penalties.
Landlords
When you need a property cleared quickly for new tenants, refurbishment or inspection, we can provide an efficient team to remove furniture and contents, and transport them to storage, another property or a disposal facility (where appropriate).
Businesses
Offices, shops and small businesses in Parsons Green often need urgent relocations or internal moves with minimal disruption. We can move desks, stock, IT equipment and files on the same day, with careful handling and organised loading to keep your business running.
Students
Students facing last-minute moves between halls, flats or home can benefit from our cost-effective, fast service. We move boxes, suitcases, small furniture and bikes, offering a more organised alternative to multiple taxi journeys or borrowing cars.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
On our same day removals in Parsons Green, we routinely move:
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and other household furniture
- Kitchen appliances such as fridges, freezers and washing machines (already disconnected)
- Boxes, suitcases and storage crates
- Office desks, chairs, cabinets and shelving
- IT equipment, monitors, printers and small electronics
- Personal belongings, books, clothing and small household items
- Garden furniture, tools and bicycles
Items Excluded or Requiring Special Arrangement
For safety and insurance reasons, there are some items we cannot carry as standard on same day moves:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
- Unboxed loose valuables such as jewellery or cash
- Pets and live animals
- Very large safes or industrial machinery without prior assessment
If you have specialist items such as pianos, antique pieces or high-value artwork, we may still be able to help, but we will need to confirm details during your enquiry.
Our Same Day Removals Process
Even when time is tight, we use a clear, five-step process to keep your move organised and predictable.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Call us as early as possible and explain what needs moving, from where, to where, and by when. We will ask key questions about access, floors, parking and item volumes. Based on this, we provide a transparent quote with no hidden charges, outlining the vehicle size, number of movers and estimated time.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For many same day moves, we can carry out a rapid virtual survey by video call or photos. For larger or more complex jobs, and where time allows, we may attend in person. This helps us confirm volumes, identify any access issues and ensure we send the right equipment and team size.
3. Packing & Preparation
If your items are already boxed and ready, we focus on protecting furniture and key pieces with covers, blankets and wrapping. Where agreed, we can also offer packing services, bringing boxes and materials to pack smaller items. We label items clearly to support organised unloading at the other end.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained movers load your belongings in a structured way, securing items inside the vehicle using straps and appropriate stacking. Heavy and bulky items are handled with trolleys and lifting equipment where needed. We then transport your goods directly to the new address, using the most efficient route available.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your destination, we unload and place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We can position larger items such as beds and wardrobes where you want them, helping you get functional quickly, especially important on urgent and same day moves.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day removals in Parsons Green are priced based on:
- Volume of goods and size of vehicle required
- Number of movers needed
- Travel distance between properties
- Access complexity (stairs, long carries, parking constraints)
- Time of day and urgency
We typically work on a clear hourly rate or a fixed price for the complete move, agreed before we start. There are no surprise extras for stairs or basic protective materials. Any potential additional charges (such as congestion or parking costs) are discussed up front so you can budget confidently.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
On a same day move, it can be tempting to try to handle everything yourself or rely on a casual man-with-a-van. In practice, this often leads to delays, damage and unnecessary stress. A structured, professional removals service offers:
- Trained teams used to heavy lifting and tight staircases
- Proper vehicles with securing points and protective equipment
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
- Efficient planning that saves time on the day
- Reduced risk of injury to you or your friends and family
For urgent moves in particular, having a reliable team who does this every day can make the difference between a chaotic rush and an organised relocation.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Parsons Green operates to clear, professional standards to protect both you and your belongings.
- Goods in transit insurance – your items are covered while being transported, subject to policy terms and conditions.
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in safe lifting, loading, and handling fragile or bulky items.
We follow sensible working practices, use appropriate equipment and always aim to minimise risk to people and property.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even when working to tight deadlines, we do not compromise on care. Furniture is wrapped or covered, boxes are stacked safely, and vehicles are loaded methodically. We use reusable protective blankets, floor coverings and durable crates where possible, reducing single-use materials.
Where customers require packing materials, we aim to supply recyclable boxes and encourage re-use. We also plan routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage around Parsons Green and beyond.
Real-World Same Day Move Scenarios
Emergency House Move
A family in Parsons Green had a last-minute completion date change and needed to move out the same afternoon. We deployed two vans and a team of movers within hours, carried out a rapid survey, and completed the full house move into their new property that evening.
Office Relocation at Short Notice
A small business near Parsons Green station lost access to their premises and had to relocate urgently. We packed IT equipment, furniture and files, labelled everything clearly, and set them up in their new office space the same day, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Urgent Student Move
A student needed to vacate a flat unexpectedly at the end of term. We collected belongings, boxed loose items, and transported everything to a family home outside London, allowing the property to be handed back on time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Parsons Green cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your move, access, distance and how quickly you need us. Smaller same day moves in Parsons Green are often charged on an hourly basis with a minimum booking period, while larger house or office moves may be quoted as a fixed price. We will ask for details about the number of rooms, key items, floors and parking so we can provide an accurate quote before you commit. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs, such as congestion or parking, are discussed up front.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate genuine same day requests, especially within Parsons Green, but availability depends on our schedule and vehicle capacity on the day. The earlier you call, the better the chance we can help. During peak periods, such as weekends and month-ends, slots can fill quickly, but we will always tell you honestly what we can and cannot do. If we are unable to handle a full move, we may still be able to assist with a part-load or priority items.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Our same day removals service includes goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being transported, along with public liability cover for work at your properties. As with any insurance, certain conditions and exclusions apply, which we are happy to explain before booking. We also take practical steps to protect items, such as using blankets, covers and secure loading methods, to minimise the chance of any damage occurring in the first place.
What exactly is included in your removals service?
Our standard same day removals service includes provision of the vehicle, fuel, a trained team of movers, basic protective materials such as blankets and straps, careful loading, secure transport and unloading into your new property. If agreed in advance, we can also provide packing services, dismantling and reassembly of straightforward furniture, and supply of boxes and other materials. What is and is not included will be clearly stated in your quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a casual man-and-van?
While a basic man-and-van may be suitable for very small jobs, a professional removals service offers greater structure and protection. We provide trained teams, appropriate vehicles, insurance cover, proper equipment and a clear process. This is especially important for full household moves, offices, and urgent jobs where delays or damage could be costly. We also plan access, parking and loading in advance where possible, so your move runs smoothly rather than relying on improvisation on the day.
How far in advance should I book, and can I still try on the same day?
For peace of mind, we recommend booking as soon as you know your moving date, especially in busy periods. However, we understand that circumstances change, and that is exactly why we offer same day removals in Parsons Green. If you find yourself needing to move at short notice, contact us as early in the day as you can. We will check our schedule, explain what capacity we have, and do everything reasonably possible to accommodate your move.

Our Step-by-Step Man and a Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few key questions about the addresses, parking, floors, access, and what needs moving. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, either fixed price or hourly, depending on your preference and the scope of work.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs, we may carry out a quick video survey or an onsite visit in Parsons Green. This allows us to assess access, stairs, lift size and the volume of items accurately. The survey helps us choose the right van size, number of porters and equipment, and ensures the quote is accurate with no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service at an additional cost. Either way, on the day we protect key items with covers and blankets, and we carefully prepare appliances and furniture for loading. We bring trolleys, straps and tools to disassemble basic furniture where required.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your belongings safely and efficiently, securing everything within the van using straps and protective padding. We plan the route in advance, taking into account Parsons Green traffic patterns and parking, to keep the journey as smooth and timely as possible.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, not just the doorstep. We can reassemble basic furniture we have taken apart, place boxes in the correct rooms, and double-check that you are happy before we leave. We aim to leave you ready to start settling in rather than surrounded by obstacles.
Transparent Pricing for Man and a Van Parsons Green
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our man and a van services are typically priced in one of two ways:
- Hourly rate – ideal for smaller or flexible jobs where the duration is uncertain.
- Fixed price – suited to defined moves with a clear list of items and access details.
Our quotes will always state what is included: number of movers, type of vehicle, estimated duration, and any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. Parking charges, congestion and tolls are discussed in advance where applicable, so you know exactly what to budget for.
Why Choose a Professional Man and a Van Over DIY
Hiring a van and doing it yourself can appear cheaper, but it often comes with hidden costs: time off work, fuel, multiple trips, potential damage and the risk of injury. Using a professional man and a van service brings several advantages:
- Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and protect items correctly
- Appropriate equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys, tools
- Efficient loading to reduce trips and save time
- Fully insured service for peace of mind
- Clear accountability and agreed timings
A casual or unregulated man-and-van may not have insurance, may not turn up on time, and may not handle your possessions with care. With Man and Van Parsons Green you are dealing with an established local removals provider with proper safeguards and standards.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take responsibility for the safety of your belongings seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property or injury.
- Trained moving teams – all staff receive handling and safety training and work to established procedures.
Policy details and limits are available on request, and we are happy to discuss specific high-value items so we can agree the right approach in advance.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your possessions as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped in transit blankets, mattresses and sofas are protected with covers where required, and fragile items are clearly marked and loaded accordingly. We plan carefully to reduce handling and minimise the risk of damage.
We also pay attention to sustainability. Where possible we use reusable protective materials, optimise routes to reduce mileage, and can collect used boxes for re-use or responsible recycling when agreed in advance. Choosing a local Parsons Green man and a van service also helps cut down on unnecessary travel from distant depots.
Real-World Use Cases in Parsons Green
Moving House or Flat
Many Parsons Green residents use our man and a van service when moving between one- and two-bedroom properties, or when downsizing and placing items into storage. It is flexible, efficient and less intrusive than a large removals crew.
Office Relocation
Small businesses rely on us to move desks, chairs, stock and equipment either within the same building or to new premises. We can work evenings or weekends to keep disruption to a minimum and protect confidentiality.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Sometimes plans change quickly. When we have availability, we can provide same-day or short-notice man and a van support within Parsons Green and nearby areas, for example when a tenancy changes last-minute or a delivery company has let you down.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and a van in Parsons Green cost?
Costs depend on the size of the van, number of movers, distance travelled and how long the job is likely to take. Smaller local moves may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger or more complex moves are usually quoted at a fixed price after a brief assessment. To keep things transparent, our quote will outline all charges, including any potential parking or congestion costs, so you can compare like-for-like and budget with confidence.
Can you offer same-day or urgent man and a van moves?
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Parsons Green and surrounding areas. Availability depends on existing bookings, the size of the job and the time of day you contact us. For urgent work, calling us is usually the fastest way to confirm whether we can help. Even on short notice, we will still provide a clear price and outline what we can realistically achieve within the timeframe.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we are transporting and public liability cover for work we carry out at your property, subject to policy terms and exclusions. This is designed to protect you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or loss. We will happily explain the cover levels and any conditions, such as limits on individual high-value items. If you have particularly valuable or unusual pieces, let us know so we can agree the best way to protect them.
What is included in your man and a van service?
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional driver, and one or more trained movers depending on your needs. We load, transport and unload your belongings into the rooms you specify. We bring protective blankets, basic tools for simple furniture disassembly and reassembly, and trolleys for safe handling. Optional extras, such as full or partial packing, supply of boxes and materials, and disposal of unwanted items, can be added to your quote so you can tailor the service to your situation.
How is a professional removals service different from a casual man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may simply offer a vehicle and driver with little structure, no written quote and limited or no insurance. By contrast, our Parsons Green man and a van service is run as a professional removals operation. You receive a clear quote, confirmed booking, fully insured service, and a trained team following established procedures. We provide proper protection for your items, plan routes and access, and take responsibility for resolving issues. This reduces risk and gives you far greater peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book?
For planned moves, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time, especially at month-end and weekends which are typically busiest. However, we understand that not all moves can be planned that far ahead. If you need a man and a van at short notice in Parsons Green, do still get in touch, as we may have gaps or cancellations. The more notice you can give, the more flexibility we have on scheduling and pricing.
House Removals
House Removals Parsons Green – Man and Van Parsons Green
Moving home in Parsons Green can be stressful, but it does not have to be. At Man and Van Parsons Green, we provide a careful, reliable house removals service designed around the streets, properties and residents of SW6. Every move is handled by a trained, professional and fully insured team that treats your belongings as if they were our own.
Local House Removals Specialists in Parsons Green
Parsons Green has its own challenges: tight one-way streets, controlled parking zones, mansion blocks with no lifts and busy school runs. Our team works here every day, so we know how to plan your move to avoid delays, parking issues and unnecessary disruption.
We regularly move clients between Parsons Green, Fulham, Putney, Chelsea, Hammersmith and across Greater London, as well as long-distance moves to the rest of the UK. Whether you are moving from a converted flat off New Kings Road or a family house near the Green itself, we will plan a smooth, efficient move.
Who Our House Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling and buying, timing is critical. We coordinate closely with your completion date, your estate agent and, where needed, your solicitor, to minimise downtime and ensure a same-day move between properties.
Renters
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or changing landlords, we help renters avoid end-of-tenancy stress. We can provide packing, dismantling and reassembly so you can hand the keys back on time and in good order.
Landlords
We assist landlords with partial moves, furniture changes, and tenant changeovers. From removing old furniture to installing new items between lets, we work quickly and discreetly to keep void periods to a minimum.
Businesses
If you run a small business from home in Parsons Green, we can combine your house move with a well-planned office move for stock, equipment and files, ensuring business downtime is kept as short as possible.
Students
Students moving into or out of Parsons Green benefit from our smaller student removals option: cost-effective transport for boxes, clothes, desks and small furniture, with flexible dates at the start and end of term.

- TVs, electronics, computers and home office equipment
- Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware and personal items
- Children’s furniture and toys

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
It starts with a quick phone call or online enquiry. You tell us your current address, destination, approximate move date, property size and any special items. We then provide a clear, no-obligation estimate, explaining what is included and any options, such as packing services or dismantling and reassembly.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a free survey. This can be done as a video call or an in-person visit in Parsons Green. We assess access (stairs, lifts, parking), volume of items and any fragile or oversized pieces. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, crew size and time, and to give you a firm quote.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you.
- Part packing – we pack fragile items such as glass, china, mirrors and pictures.
- Self packing – you pack, and we provide boxes and materials if required.
We can also dismantle beds, wardrobes and large furniture where needed, labelling everything for straightforward reassembly at your new home.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional crew arrives on time, with clean, purpose-built removal vehicles. Floors, banisters and doors are protected where necessary. Items are wrapped, padded and secured using blankets, straps and specialist equipment. We load in a logical order to speed up unloading, then transport your goods directly to your new address.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify, not just the hallway. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled, place heavy items in their final position, and remove any packing materials we supplied. Before we leave, we walk through the property with you to check you are happy with everything.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing for house removals in Parsons Green. Costs are based on:
- Volume of goods (property size and number of items)
- Distance between addresses
- Access and complexity (stairs, parking, narrow streets)
- Required services (packing, materials, dismantling, storage)
- Day and time (weekends or evenings if requested)
We typically offer either a fixed price for the whole move, or – for very small, simple jobs – an hourly rate with a minimum booking time. All charges are explained clearly in writing before you commit, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a casual van or doing it yourself may appear cheaper on paper, but often costs more in time, effort and damage. Our trained team knows how to protect your property, navigate stairwells and tight corners, and load a vehicle safely and efficiently.
With professional removals you benefit from:
- Correct lifting techniques to reduce risk of injury
- Protective materials for furniture and property
- Efficient loading and unloading, saving time
- Reduced risk of breakages or damage
- Cover through our goods in transit insurance
A standard man-with-a-van service often cannot provide the same level of planning, protection or insurance. Our service combines the flexibility of a van with the standards of a proper removals company.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. That is why we operate to clear, professional standards and carry appropriate cover:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protects against damage to third-party property or accidental injury during the move.
- Trained moving teams – all staff are trained in handling, lifting and packing techniques.
We are always happy to discuss cover levels and provide proof of insurance on request, so you can book with confidence.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to move you safely while minimising our environmental impact. We use high-quality, reusable furniture blankets, re-use cartons where practical, and can collect used boxes for recycling or re-use after your move.
Properties in Parsons Green often feature wooden floors, narrow staircases and original features. We use door and floor protectors where necessary and take extra care in communal areas of flats and mansion blocks to avoid scuffs, ensuring good relations with neighbours and building managers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Parsons Green cost?
Costs vary depending on property size, volume of contents, distance and the services you choose, such as packing or dismantling. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while full house moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. To keep things fair, we normally carry out a quick survey so we can give you an accurate written quote with no hidden extras. The best way to get a realistic figure is to contact us with your addresses, move date and a brief list of key items.
Can you do same-day or urgent house removals?
We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Parsons Green, especially for smaller flats or partial moves. Availability depends on our schedule and crew numbers on the day, but we always try to accommodate urgent requests where we can do so safely and properly. If you need a last-minute move, call us as early as possible with your details. We will tell you honestly what we can achieve, any time constraints, and provide a clear price before you decide.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, and public liability cover for work at your property. There are limits and exclusions, as with any insurance, and we are happy to explain these and provide documentation on request. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional cover or special handling arrangements. We always aim to prevent damage in the first place through careful packing, loading and secure transport.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard service includes loading all agreed items, transporting them to your new address and unloading into the rooms you choose. We protect your furniture with blankets and securing straps as standard. You can then add optional services such as full or part packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and temporary storage if needed. Everything included will be listed clearly on your quote and confirmation so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
While both use vans, a professional removals service provides much more than just transport. Our trained teams plan the move, protect property and possessions, and use proper equipment to handle heavy or awkward items safely. We also carry goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, and can offer packing, dismantling and reassembly. A basic man-and-van may be fine for a few boxes, but for a full home move in Parsons Green, a dedicated removals team significantly reduces stress, risk of damage and the physical strain on you.
How far in advance should I book my house removal?
Ideally, book as soon as you have a clear idea of your moving window, especially if you want a specific date, such as a Friday or month-end, which are often busy. Many clients in Parsons Green book two to four weeks ahead. However, we understand that exchange and completion dates can change, so we try to be flexible. If your move is imminent, contact us anyway – we will always check our schedule and do our best to fit you in or suggest practical alternatives.
