Who Our St Giles House Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
From townhouses to family homes, we provide complete removals including dismantling and reassembly of furniture, protection of floors and banisters, and careful room-to-room placement at your new property.
Renters
If you’re moving between rented properties, we help you avoid damage charges by protecting walls, doors and communal areas. We can work to tight check-out times and coordinate with your letting agent where required.
Landlords
Landlords in St Giles use us for end-of-tenancy clearances, part-moves, and moving furniture between properties. We work efficiently and respectfully in occupied or vacant homes.
Businesses
Small businesses and home offices moving into or out of St Giles benefit from our careful handling of IT equipment, files and office furniture. We can often move you outside core hours to keep downtime to a minimum.
Students
Students moving to or from accommodation in St Giles can use our smaller, cost-effective moves service. We move personal belongings, clothes, books, small furniture and electronics, working around term dates and key collection times.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Everything starts with a simple enquiry by phone, email or our online form. We’ll ask about your current property, your destination, the likely volume of items, access (stairs, lifts, parking), and your preferred dates. From there, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with a breakdown of the services you’ve requested.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most full house moves in St Giles, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or in person. We walk through the property with you, noting access issues, fragile or high-value items, and any furniture that needs dismantling. This ensures we send the right size vehicle, the correct number of movers and appropriate protective materials on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between full packing, partial packing, or self-packing. Our professional team can supply boxes, tape, wrapping paper and bubble wrap, and pack everything securely. We label boxes clearly by room and content. Even if you pack yourself, we will still professionally protect key items and surfaces – for example, mattress covers, TV covers, and blankets on furniture.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, we arrive on time, introduce the team and walk through the plan. We protect floors and bannisters where needed, then load systematically, starting with heavier and bulkier items. Everything is secured in the van using straps, webbing and blankets to minimise movement in transit. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they’re on the road.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new home, we place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We reassemble items we dismantled (such as beds and certain wardrobes) and ensure white goods are positioned ready for reconnection. Before leaving, we’ll walk through the property with you to check that everything is where it needs to be and that you’re happy with the move.
Transparent Pricing for St Giles House Removals
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will normally be based on:
- The size of your property and the volume of goods
- Distance between addresses
- Access issues (stairs, long carries, parking limitations)
- Number of movers required
- Optional services such as packing, unpacking and furniture assembly
For smaller moves in St Giles, we may offer a set hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For full house removals, we usually provide a fixed price so you know exactly where you stand before you commit.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Attempting a house move with a borrowed van or a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, delays and unnecessary stress. Our professional removals service offers:
- Trained teams who know how to lift and carry safely
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and covers
- Planning around access, timing and parking in St Giles
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Accountability – a company that stands behind its work
In many cases, using professionals reduces the risk of damaging furniture, electronics or the property itself, which can be costly to put right.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man with Van St Giles operates to recognised industry standards for domestic removals. All moves are covered by:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are being transported
- Public liability cover – covering accidental damage to third-party property or injury
Our movers are trained in safe handling techniques, vehicle loading, and protection of fragile and high-value items. We carry out regular maintenance and safety checks on our vehicles and equipment to ensure they are fit for purpose.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move as if we were moving our own home. That means:
- Using clean protective blankets, mattress covers and floor protection as needed
- Wrapping and securing fragile items with care
- Planning the loading order to avoid crushing or stress on delicate pieces
We also take a responsible approach to the environment. Where possible, we reuse strong cardboard boxes, reduce unnecessary journeys through careful route planning, and encourage recycling or charity donations for unwanted but usable items. Our aim is to move you efficiently while keeping waste and environmental impact to a minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in St Giles cost?
The cost of a house removal in St Giles depends on several factors: the size of your property, the amount of furniture and boxes, access at both addresses, distance between locations, and any extra services such as packing or furniture assembly. Smaller flat moves can sometimes be completed on an hourly rate, while larger house moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Once we have the key details, or carry out a short survey, we provide a clear written quotation so you know the total cost before you book.
Can you do same-day or urgent removals?
We can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in St Giles, depending on our existing bookings and the size of your move. For smaller flat or student moves, short-notice availability is more common; for full house removals it will depend on vehicle and crew availability. If you need to move urgently, contact us as soon as possible with your addresses and preferred times. We’ll let you know honestly what we can do, offer realistic time slots, and explain any limitations so you can plan with confidence.
What insurance cover do you provide?
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, covering loss or damage up to agreed limits. In addition, we carry public liability cover, which protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury. We always encourage customers to highlight any particularly high-value or especially fragile items during the survey so we can give them extra attention on moving day. Full details of our cover, including limits and exclusions, are available on request before you confirm your booking.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard house removals service in St Giles includes loading all agreed items, safe transport between properties, and unloading into the rooms you choose. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, and secure items in the vehicle to reduce movement in transit. If required, we can add packing, unpacking, dismantling and reassembly of beds and certain furniture, and supply of packing materials. Parking arrangements, congestion charges or special access requirements are discussed in advance so that everything is clear in your written quotation before moving day.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service typically provides transport and lifting help, but may not offer the planning, protection and insurance you get with a professional removals company. With us, you have trained movers, appropriate equipment, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and a structured process from survey to completion. We assess access, protect your property, and load the vehicle correctly to minimise risk. For a full house move, this usually means a smoother day, less chance of damage, and a clear point of responsibility if something goes wrong.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
For a full house move in St Giles, it’s wise to book at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you’re moving on a Friday or at month-end, which are traditionally busy. That said, we understand that completion dates and contracts can change at short notice. If your date isn’t fixed, we can pencil you in and confirm closer to the time. For smaller or local moves, we may be able to book you in with just a few days’ notice, subject to availability.
