Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You get in touch with your move details: addresses, dates, property size and any specific requirements. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation based on what you tell us, explaining what is included so there are no surprises.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most house moves, we recommend a survey. This can be done by video call or an in-person visit in East Ham and nearby areas. We assess access, parking, volumes, fragile items and any dismantling required. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle and team size, and confirm an accurate price.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer both full packing and part packing services, or you can pack yourself if you prefer. Where we pack, we use quality materials and label boxes clearly by room. We can also dismantle and protect larger items such as beds, wardrobes and dining tables, ready for safe transport.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional team arrives on time and walks through the plan with you. Floors, bannisters and doorways can be protected as needed. We load in a logical order, securing items in the vehicle using blankets, straps and appropriate stacking techniques. Your goods are then transported directly or as agreed, under our goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload carefully into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble furniture we dismantled and position larger pieces where you want them. Once everything is off the vehicle, we carry out a final check with you before we leave.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will be based on:

• Volume of goods and size of the property
• Distance between addresses
• Access and parking arrangements
• Level of service – e.g. packing, dismantling/reassembly, special items
• Day and time – weekdays, weekends or evenings

We explain exactly what is included in your quote, and any potential additional charges (for example, extra stops or waiting time) will be discussed in advance. There are no hidden fees, and we are always happy to talk through options to suit different budgets.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Using a professional removals company like Man With a Van East Ham offers important benefits compared with DIY or a casual van hire.

• Trained staff who know how to move heavy and fragile items safely
• Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and suitable vehicles
• Fully insured cover that informal helpers simply cannot offer
• Efficient loading and unloading, reducing the number of trips and the risk of damage
• Less physical strain, less stress and more time to focus on everything else involved in moving

Cutting corners on your move can lead to breakages, injuries or delays. A professional service provides structure, accountability and peace of mind.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to clear professional standards. Our moves are covered by:

• Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our vehicles
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property

Our teams are trained in safe lifting, loading and securing methods, as well as customer care and working respectfully in your home. We are happy to provide confirmation of insurance details on request.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped and protected, fragile boxes are clearly marked and handled appropriately, and we take care not to mark walls, floors or doorframes. Where needed, we use floor coverings and corner protectors to keep both properties in good condition.

We are also conscious of the environmental impact of moving. Wherever possible, we reuse clean packing materials, minimise unnecessary journeys through careful planning and can advise on decluttering and responsible disposal ahead of your move.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in East Ham cost?

The cost of a house removal in East Ham depends on several factors, including the size of your property, the volume of belongings, the distance between addresses and the level of service you need. A small flat move will naturally cost less than a large family home with full packing included. After a brief discussion and, ideally, a survey, we provide a clear, fixed quotation outlining exactly what is covered. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to explain how different options affect the price so you can choose what best fits your budget.

Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?

Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in East Ham, depending on existing bookings and vehicle availability. If your plans have changed at short notice, contact us as soon as possible with your details, and we will let you know what we can offer. Even for urgent moves, we follow a structured approach, confirming access, parking and key items to ensure the move is safe and efficient. While advance booking is always recommended, we understand that emergencies happen and do our best to help.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover. This insurance is designed to protect against loss or damage in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. We still handle everything as carefully as possible to avoid ever needing to use it. If you have particularly high-value or unusual items, please mention them in advance so we can confirm cover and, if necessary, agree any additional arrangements for your peace of mind.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard house removals service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional moving team, loading, secure transport and unloading into your new home. We carefully handle furniture and boxes, placing them in the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture and handling of special items that require extra protection. During your enquiry, we will run through what you need and confirm exactly what is included in your quotation so everything is clear before you book.

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

While a basic man-and-van may simply provide transport and lifting help, a professional removals service offers much more structure and protection. We carry insurance, use trained staff, and plan your move in detail, including surveys, access checks and appropriate equipment. Your belongings are wrapped, protected and secured correctly in the vehicle, and we work systematically to avoid damage to both items and properties. You also have clear documentation, agreed timings and someone accountable for the entire process, which you rarely get with casual, unregulated services.

How far in advance should I book my house removal?

Ideally, you should book your house removal as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or at weekends, when demand is higher. Many customers reserve their slot one to four weeks in advance. That said, we understand that dates can change, particularly with property chains, so we try to remain flexible. If you are on a tight timescale, contact us as early as possible and we will do our best to find a suitable solution that fits your schedule.
