Who Our Removal Services Are For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating, we provide full-house removal services tailored to your property size and schedule. We can include packing, dismantling and reassembly of large items so you can focus on the legal and practical side of your move.
Renters
For tenants moving between flats or house shares, we offer efficient, cost-conscious moves with minimal disruption. We are used to dealing with top-floor flats, tight staircases and controlled entry systems common in Cambridge Heath rentals.
Landlords
We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, part-moves and furniture-only removals. Whether you are preparing a property for new tenants or need items taken to storage, we can provide a structured, invoiced service with clear timings.
Businesses
From small offices to independent shops and studios, our business removal services are designed to keep downtime to a minimum. We can move IT equipment, desks, stock and archive materials, working out-of-hours where needed to reduce disruption to your operation.
Students
Students moving into or out of Cambridge Heath benefit from smaller, flexible moves. We can move single rooms, shared flats or just a few bulky items, often aligning with university term dates and short-notice requirements.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your move details: addresses, dates, property size and any special requirements. We ask a few focused questions so we can assess vehicle size, staffing and timing. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included and any optional extras.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a brief survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or onsite in Cambridge Heath and nearby areas. The survey allows us to check access, parking, staircases and lift dimensions, ensuring we arrive with the right team, equipment and timing.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer both full packing and part packing services, or you can pack yourself. When we pack, we bring quality boxes, tape and wrapping materials, carefully protecting fragile items and labelling boxes by room. If you prefer to pack, we can still dismantle beds, wardrobes and other furniture on move day.
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and protects key items and surfaces. We use removal blankets, straps and trolleys, loading systematically to keep items secure in transit. Vans are driven by experienced drivers who know Cambridge Heath’s streets and wider London routes well.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any items we dismantled and position furniture as requested, subject to access. Before we leave, we check with you that everything is unloaded, assembled where agreed and that you are satisfied with the layout.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of items and property size
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, distance to parking)
- Travel distance between addresses
- Number of movers required
- Optional services (packing, materials, dismantling/reassembly)
We typically offer fixed-price quotes for clearly defined moves, so you know your costs in advance. For smaller or more flexible jobs, we may quote an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Any potential extra charges, such as extended waiting due to key delays, are explained upfront so there are no surprises.
Why Choose Professional Removal Services Over DIY
Using a professional removal company provides far more than just a vehicle. Our trained teams move heavy and awkward items safely, reducing the risk of injury or damage. We use appropriate equipment, plan access routes, protect your belongings and your property, and work to an agreed schedule.
DIY moves or casual man-and-van arrangements often underestimate the time, effort and risk involved. With us, you are covered by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, supported by documented processes and a clear point of contact throughout your move.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Every move with Man with Van Cambridge Heath is backed by the following protections:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are on the vehicle
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties
- Trained and experienced moving teams who follow safe lifting and handling practices
We maintain our vehicles regularly and use suitable protective materials for furniture, appliances and fragile items. Our aim is to combine efficient working with careful handling, giving you confidence that your possessions are being managed responsibly.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped and secured, mattresses are covered, and floors and banisters are protected where required. For fragile items, we use appropriate packing and stacking techniques to minimise movement in transit.
We also take a practical approach to sustainability. Wherever possible, we reuse sturdy packing materials, encourage customers to recycle or repurpose boxes after the move and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. When we carry out clearances, we prioritise reuse and recycling over disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Cambridge Heath cost?
The cost depends mainly on the volume of items, distance between properties, access conditions and whether you need packing or dismantling services. Small flat moves within Cambridge Heath are typically at the lower end of our pricing, while larger house or office relocations are priced individually. We usually provide a fixed quote once we understand your requirements, so you know the total cost before booking. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional charges, such as long waiting times for keys, are explained clearly in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removals?
We can often help with same-day or urgent moves, particularly within Cambridge Heath and nearby areas, depending on vehicle and team availability. If you need an urgent move, it is best to call us as early as possible with your addresses, approximate inventory and preferred time. We will confirm what is realistically achievable, prioritising essential items if time is tight. While we cannot guarantee availability for every short-notice request, we will always give you an honest answer and a clear plan if we can assist.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved on our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. These policies sit alongside our working practices: careful packing, use of protective materials and trained staff. We will explain any limits or exclusions relevant to your move before you book, and we always recommend that high-value or irreplaceable personal items such as jewellery and important documents are carried by you personally.
What exactly is included in your removal service?
Our standard service includes loading all agreed items, safe transport between properties and unloading into the rooms you specify. We can also add packing, supply of materials, and dismantling and reassembly of furniture if requested. During your enquiry, we’ll clarify what you would like us to handle and reflect this in your written quote. On move day, our team will follow the agreed plan, checking with you if anything unexpected arises. The aim is a complete, well-organised service from first box loaded to final item placed.
How is a professional removal service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van usually offers transport only, with limited support, variable standards and often no formal insurance. Our removal services are delivered by professional, trained teams who plan the move, protect your property, handle heavy items safely and provide proper documentation. We carry goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, operate reliable vehicles and offer optional packing and dismantling. In practice, this means fewer breakages, less stress and a clearer timetable, which is especially important for larger or more time-sensitive moves.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
For most moves, we recommend booking as soon as your moving date is likely, ideally two to four weeks in advance. This gives you the best choice of dates and enough time to arrange parking and packing. However, we understand that move dates can change, especially with property chains, so we remain as flexible as possible. If you have a short-notice move in Cambridge Heath, contact us and we will check availability; we frequently accommodate moves with only a few days’ notice where our schedule allows.
