House Removals

House Removals in Paddington by Paddington Movers

Moving home in Paddington or the surrounding West London areas can feel overwhelming. At Paddington Movers, we provide a calm, well-organised house removals service, run by experienced local professionals who move people in and out of Paddington every day.

Professional House Removals in Paddington

Our removals service is designed to take care of every stage of your move, from the first enquiry through to placing the final box in the correct room. We use trained, uniformed moving teams, purpose-built vehicles and industry-standard packing materials to ensure your belongings are handled safely and efficiently.

Whether you are moving across Paddington, elsewhere in London, or nationwide, we plan your move around access, parking restrictions, traffic patterns and building layouts unique to this part of London.

Who Our House Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are selling your property or moving to a larger or smaller home, we offer full and part house removals, including packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture. We coordinate with your completion day so you are out on time and into your new home without unnecessary stress.

Renters

Paddington is full of flats with lifts, tight stairwells and strict management rules. We regularly help tenants move between rented properties, carefully protecting communal areas, working around lift bookings and ensuring we leave your old and new home clean and undamaged.

Landlords

For landlords, we provide efficient removals and clear-outs between tenancies. This can include removing unwanted furniture, relocating items to storage and preparing the property for incoming tenants. Our professional teams work considerately around neighbours and building management.

Businesses

We assist small businesses and home offices relocating within Paddington and beyond. From desks and filing cabinets to IT equipment, we plan moves to minimise disruption, and can schedule evening or weekend moves where required.

Students

Students often need cost-effective, smaller removals for halls, studios or shared houses. We provide straightforward, reliable moves for student term-time and end-of-year relocations, including shared loads where practical.

What Our House Removals Service Includes

Every move is different, but typically our service can include:

• Collection and delivery of all household contents
• Packing service for all or part of your belongings (optional)
• Dismantling and reassembly of beds, wardrobes and selected furniture
• Protection of floors, doors and banisters at both addresses
• Use of sturdy removal boxes, wardrobe cartons and packing materials (supplied or included in a packing package)
• Careful wrapping of fragile items such as glassware, mirrors and artwork
• Special handling for large items such as pianos, American-style fridge freezers and sofas
• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while we move them

Items Typically Excluded

For safety and insurance reasons, there are some items we usually cannot carry or can only carry by prior agreement:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, paints, chemicals)
• Illegal or stolen goods
• Live animals (including pets and livestock)
• Perishable food for long-distance moves
• High-value items such as jewellery, cash, important documents – these are best kept with you

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, please mention it during the survey so we can advise and agree a safe approach.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your moving details, including current and new addresses, property type and preferred moving date. We ask a few questions to understand access, parking and the size of your move. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation quotation with a clear breakdown of what is included.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a very small move, we carry out a survey – either video-based or at your home. This allows us to list your items accurately, assess access routes (stairs, lifts, parking) and note any special requirements such as fragile antiques or bulky furniture. The final quotation is then confirmed in writing so you know exactly what to expect.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, or sometimes the day before for larger moves, our team arrives to pack your belongings if you have chosen our professional packing service. We use quality packing materials and label all boxes clearly by room and contents. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply boxes and materials in advance and advise you on best practice.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, we protect floors and key surfaces, then carefully load your belongings onto our vehicles in a planned order. Items are secured inside the vehicle to prevent movement during transit. Our local knowledge of Paddington and West London routes helps us avoid unnecessary delays and access issues, particularly with timed loading bays and busy roads.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new home, we unload room by room, placing boxes and furniture where you would like them. Any furniture we dismantled is reassembled. We remove used packing materials that we have supplied, leaving you with a tidy, safe space to start unpacking and settling in.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Paddington

We price each move individually, based on the volume of items, distance, access, and whether you need packing, storage or special services. Our quotations are fully itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges for standard moves – any potential extras (for example, out-of-hours access or additional heavy items) are discussed and agreed in advance.

For smaller moves, we may offer a fixed price or a simple hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For larger properties, we generally recommend a fixed-price quote after a survey, giving you cost certainty for your budget and mortgage or rental timelines.

Why Choose Professional House Removals Instead of DIY

Hiring a professional removals company like Paddington Movers means your move is planned, managed and carried out by people who do this every day. We use the right equipment, vehicles and lifting techniques to move heavy and awkward items safely, reducing the risk of damage and personal injury.

DIY moves or casual man-and-van services can appear cheaper on paper but often lead to extra trips, unexpected delays, damaged furniture or items that will not fit through stairwells because they were not measured or planned correctly. With a fully insured, reputable removals firm, you gain accountability, proper documentation and support if anything does not go to plan.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate to recognised industry standards, with a strong focus on training, safety and customer care.

• Goods in transit insurance – Your belongings are covered while they are in our care, subject to our terms and conditions and declared values.
• Public liability cover – We hold appropriate public liability insurance to protect you and your property.
• Trained moving teams – Our staff receive regular training in safe lifting, furniture handling, packing techniques and customer service.

We are happy to provide evidence of our insurance and answer any questions about cover levels and exclusions before you book.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Looking after your belongings and the properties we work in is central to how we operate. We use padded covers, furniture blankets and floor protectors as standard, and our teams are instructed to treat every home with respect. We take extra care with stairwells, lifts and shared corridors, especially in managed blocks around Paddington.

Where possible, we reuse sturdy cartons and packing materials, and we separate recyclable waste at our depot. For unwanted furniture and household items, we can arrange responsible disposal or donation to local charities where appropriate, helping to reduce what goes to landfill.

Real-World Removals Scenarios We Handle

Standard House and Flat Moves

Most of our work involves moving families and individuals between houses and flats in and around Paddington. We are used to dealing with Victorian terraces, modern apartment blocks and mansion flats, all with their own access and parking challenges.

Office and Home-Office Relocations

We help small businesses and remote workers move offices, including packing files, IT equipment and office furniture. Moves can be timed outside normal working hours to keep your business running smoothly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Occasionally, clients face unexpected completion dates, tenancy changes or emergency relocations. When our schedule allows, we can provide urgent or same-day removals support, making practical suggestions to keep the move achievable in a shorter timescale.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do house removals in Paddington usually cost?

The cost depends mainly on the volume of belongings, distance travelled, access at each property and whether you need packing or storage. Smaller flat moves within Paddington may be charged at an hourly rate, while larger house removals are normally priced as a fixed quote after a survey. We provide a clear, written quotation detailing exactly what is included, so you can compare like-for-like with other companies. Contact us with basic details of your move and we can usually give an initial estimate the same day.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, subject to availability. Paddington’s property market can move quickly, and we are used to last-minute changes to completion or tenancy dates. If you need an urgent or same-day move, contact us as early as possible with your details. We will check our schedule, vehicle availability and staffing, then let you know what is realistically achievable. In some cases, we may suggest splitting the move over two stages or using short-term storage to make an urgent timeline workable and safe.

What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?

Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care, subject to our terms and declared values. We also carry public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property. During the survey or booking stage, we explain how our cover works, what is included, and any items that may require special declarations or higher limits. We always recommend that you keep particularly high-value items such as jewellery, cash and important documents with you rather than sending them on the removal vehicle.

What exactly is included in your removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your household goods between the addresses on your booking, plus basic protection for furniture and property. Most customers add options such as a packing service, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, or supply of boxes and materials. During your quotation, we specify exactly what is included: number of staff, vehicles, dates, times and any additional services. If you need storage, disposal of unwanted items or specialist handling (for example, pianos), we can include these in your plan by prior arrangement.

How do you differ from a basic man-and-van service?

A man-and-van can work for very small, simple moves, but our service is structured for reliability and protection. We use trained teams, fully equipped removal vehicles, protective covers and planning based on a survey. We are also fully insured, with written terms and confirmed booking times. This reduces the risk of delays, damage or last-minute cancellations. For full house or flat moves, especially in busy areas like Paddington with difficult access and parking, a professional removals team is usually more efficient and better value overall than a basic man-and-van.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

We recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are moving on a Friday, month-end or during peak seasons such as summer. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal for most Paddington moves, giving time to arrange surveys, packing and parking suspensions if needed. However, we often accommodate shorter notice periods, particularly for smaller moves. Even if your date is not fully fixed, it is worth speaking to us early so we can pencil you in and advise on preparation.
