• Home removals – houses, flats, maisonettes and studio moves
• Office and commercial moves – SMEs, shops and local organisations

Local Expertise Across Merton

Because we work all over Merton every day, we understand the local challenges that can make or break moving day. From tight Victorian terraces in Wimbledon, to estates in Morden and busy high streets in Colliers Wood, we know which vehicles to send, where parking can be an issue, and how long access is likely to take.

We regularly help customers moving to and from:

• Wimbledon and Wimbledon Chase
• Morden and Lower Morden
• Mitcham and Pollards Hill
• Raynes Park and Motspur Park
• Colliers Wood and South Wimbledon

That local knowledge means more accurate timing, fewer surprises and a calmer moving day.

Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

We regularly move families and individuals between houses and flats across Merton and beyond. We can handle full contents moves, difficult access, heavy furniture and delicate items, giving you one less thing to worry about during what is often a stressful time.

Renters

Whether you’re moving from a studio in Colliers Wood or a shared flat in Wimbledon, we offer flexible slots, smaller vehicles where needed and careful protection of walls, doors and communal areas to help you keep your deposit.

Landlords

We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, furniture moves between properties, and setting up furnished lets. We can work to tight turnaround times so your property is ready for new tenants quickly.

Businesses

Offices, shops and local businesses use Merton Movers for office and commercial removals, internal reshuffles and relocating equipment. We plan around trading hours to minimise downtime, and can move IT, desks, stock and archives with proper labelling and protection.

Students

Students moving into or out of Merton benefit from cost-effective, smaller moves with shared loads where appropriate. We can move boxed belongings, bikes, small furniture and computers between halls, shared houses and home addresses.

What We Can and Can’t Move

Items Typically Included

• All boxed household contents – books, clothes, kitchenware, personal items
• Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs, chests of drawers
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers (disconnected)
• Office equipment – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, boxed IT equipment
• Electronics – TVs, computers, sound systems (properly packed)
• Outdoor items – garden furniture, barbecues (emptied and cleaned), tools

Items Usually Excluded or by Prior Arrangement

• Hazardous materials – paint tins, solvents, gas bottles, fuel, chemicals
• Illegal items or anything that cannot be legally transported
• Live animals and pets
• High-value items such as fine art, jewellery or large safes without prior agreement
• Commercial machinery requiring specialist lifting or certification

If you have unusual or high-value items, we’ll discuss them during the survey to confirm what’s possible and whether any special arrangements are needed.

How Our Removals Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with your moving details – addresses, dates, property size and any specific concerns. We’ll ask a few focused questions and provide an initial estimate. For straightforward moves, we can often confirm a price at this stage, subject to a brief survey.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

We carry out a virtual or onsite survey to understand access, parking, volume of belongings and any fragile or heavy items. This allows us to choose the right team size, vehicle and equipment. Surveys are free and help avoid surprises on moving day.

3. Packing & Preparation

Depending on the service level you choose, we can supply packing materials, provide a part-packing service for breakables, or manage a full pack of your property. Our trained packers use appropriate materials, pad and wrap furniture, and label boxes clearly so unloading is organised at the other end.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our team arrives on time, protects floors and key areas, and begins loading in a safe, systematic way. Furniture is blanketed and secured; boxes are stacked correctly; fragile items are separated and clearly marked. Your goods are then transported in fully insured vehicles, driven by experienced drivers who know the routes in and around Merton.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload room by room as directed, placing furniture where you want it and stacking boxes logically for easy unpacking. If you’ve requested it, we reassemble beds and other dismantled furniture. Before leaving, we’ll check you’re happy with the placement and that nothing is missing or damaged.

Transparent Pricing – How We Charge

We believe in clear, upfront pricing so you know where you stand. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of belongings and number of rooms
• Travel distance and likely journey times
• Access and parking at both properties
• Services required – packing, dismantling/reassembly, materials, storage coordination
• Day of the week and season (weekends and peak periods can be busier)

Your written quote will explain exactly what’s included, any optional extras and how overtime or delays (for example, waiting for keys) are handled. There are no hidden charges; anything that could affect the price is discussed in advance.

Why Choose a Professional Removal Company Over DIY

Moving yourself or relying on a casual man-and-van can look cheaper at first glance, but often costs more in time, stress and occasional damage. As a professional removals company, we provide:

• Trained staff who know how to lift, carry and load safely
• Proper vehicles with securing points, blankets and trolleys
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Reliable timings and a written booking confirmation
• Accountability – one company responsible from start to finish

For many customers, the difference in stress levels alone makes professional removals the better choice.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Merton Movers operates to recognised industry standards. We carry appropriate goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our vehicles, and public liability cover for work at your property. Our teams are trained in safe lifting techniques, vehicle loading, and the protection of fragile and high-risk items.

We keep accurate inventories where required, and encourage customers to highlight any particularly valuable or sentimental items so we can take extra care. While we always prioritise prevention, you have the reassurance that, in the unlikely event something goes wrong, there is a formal process and proper cover in place.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Looking after your belongings and your property is central to what we do. We use blankets, padded covers and floor protectors to prevent scuffs and scrapes, and we plan lifting routes to minimise risk to both furniture and walls.

We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Wherever possible, we:

• Reuse and recycle sturdy cardboard boxes
• Encourage customers to pass on or recycle unwanted items rather than landfill
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

We aim to provide a careful, efficient service that respects both your belongings and the wider environment.

Real-World Removals We Handle

Moving House

From first-time buyers in a one-bedroom flat to families in larger homes, we plan moves around completion times, key collection and school or work schedules. We can provide packing support in the days before, or complete everything in one carefully managed operation.

Office and Business Relocations

We help businesses move within Merton or to other parts of London and the UK. That includes packing files, moving IT equipment, dismantling desks and shelving, and coordinating with building management where needed. Our aim is always to reduce downtime so your team can get back to work quickly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up at short notice – a last-minute tenancy change, an urgent completion date or a change of plans. Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or next-day removals within Merton. While advance booking is always recommended, it’s worth calling us even at short notice to see what we can do.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Merton typically cost?

The cost of a removal in Merton depends on how much you’re moving, the distance between properties, access and the level of service you need. A small flat move within the borough will usually be at the lower end, while a large family home or an office relocation will cost more due to extra time, staff and vehicles. We always recommend a short survey so we can give you a clear, fixed quotation with everything itemised, rather than guessing from room counts alone.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice removals within Merton and nearby areas. Availability depends on existing bookings, vehicle allocation and team capacity, so we can’t guarantee urgent slots, but we will always check the diary and offer the earliest feasible option. Even for urgent moves, we still carry out a brief assessment of your requirements so we send the right size vehicle and team. Calling us as early in the day as possible gives you the best chance of securing a same-day slot.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicles, and public liability cover for work at your property. This sits alongside our focus on prevention – careful packing, secure loading and trained staff. During the quote or survey, we’ll explain the main points of cover, any policy limits, and how to highlight particularly valuable items. If you have your own home contents insurance, it’s worth checking if it provides additional cover for moves, as some policies do, but our own insurance is in place as standard.

What’s included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture and boxed belongings between the agreed addresses, plus basic protection such as blankets and straps. Many customers also add optional services like packing, supply of materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and temporary storage coordination. Your written quote will list exactly what is included, so there is no confusion on the day. If you are unsure whether a particular task is covered, such as disconnecting appliances or taking down fixtures, just ask during the survey and we’ll clarify what we can safely do.

How is a professional removal company different from a man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van can be suitable for very small, simple moves, but there are important differences. As a professional removal company, we supply trained teams, appropriate vehicles, insurance, written confirmations and clear terms. We plan access, bring the right equipment, and take responsibility for the entire job. Man-and-van services may not provide adequate cover, may work alone, and often can’t safely handle heavy or awkward items. For most home and office moves, especially where there are stairs, large furniture or tight timings, a professional removals team is the safer, more reliable option.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

We recommend booking your move as soon as you have a likely date, particularly if you’re moving at the end of the month, on a Friday or during school holidays, when demand in Merton is highest. For most customers, confirming two to four weeks ahead works well, but we can sometimes accommodate moves at shorter notice. Even if you don’t have an exact completion date, it’s useful to arrange a survey and provisional booking, then finalise the timing once your dates are confirmed. This helps ensure a slot with the right team and vehicle is reserved for you.
