At Man and Van Surrey, we provide reliable, well-organised removal services across Surrey for homes, businesses and students. With years of hands-on experience, we know how to move your belongings safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption to your day.

What Our Removal Services Include

Our removal service is a complete, door-to-door solution designed to take the stress out of moving. Whether you are moving a small flat or a large office, we plan every stage so your move runs smoothly from first enquiry to final placement of furniture.

Types of Removal Services We Offer

• Home removals – houses, flats, bungalows and retirement properties
• Student removals – term-time moves, end-of-tenancy clearouts and relocations between accommodation
• Office and commercial removals – small offices, retail units and light commercial spaces
• Part-load and single-item moves – perfect for furniture, appliances and bulky items
• Short-notice and urgent removals – where schedules are tight or dates change unexpectedly

Every move is tailored to your property, access, timescale and budget. We can provide a full packing service, or simply handle the lifting, loading and transport if you prefer to pack yourself.

Local Surrey Expertise

As a local Surrey removals company, we know the roads, parking restrictions and building access issues across the county. From tight one-way streets in town centres to narrow rural lanes, we plan routes and vehicle sizes accordingly.

We regularly carry out moves in Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Redhill, Reigate, Weybridge, Camberley, Farnham, and surrounding villages. Our local knowledge helps us avoid common delays, arrange permits where needed, and coordinate with building managers or concierge teams in flats and offices.

Who Our Removal Services Are For

• Homeowners – moving between houses, upsizing, downsizing or relocating within Surrey or further afield.
• Renters – flat and house moves, end-of-tenancy moves, and relocations between rental properties.
• Landlords – clearing or part-clearing properties between tenants, or moving stored furniture in and out.
• Businesses – office relocations, internal moves, and moving stock, equipment or archives.
• Students – cost-effective moves between halls, shared houses and home addresses.

Whether you have a single room or a multi-floor building to move, we scale our team and vehicles so you only pay for what you need.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: where you are moving from and to, property type, approximate volume of belongings, and preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation estimate and outline any options that may suit your move, such as packing services or disassembly of furniture.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a small move, we recommend a short survey. This may be virtual (video call and photos) or onsite. We review access, parking, staircases, lifts and the number and type of items. The survey allows us to advise accurately on vehicle size, team numbers and timing, giving you a realistic fixed quotation.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – our team supplies packing materials and professionally packs your belongings, labelling boxes clearly by room.
• Part packing service – we pack fragile or bulky items (such as glassware, pictures and mirrors) while you pack the rest.
• Self-packing – you pack your own items; we can supply quality boxes, tape and wrapping if required.

We also dismantle furniture where agreed and protect large items with covers and padding.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you, and begins loading systematically. Furniture and larger items are wrapped and secured, boxes are stacked safely, and everything is recorded by room. We transport your goods in well-maintained vehicles, and your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance during the journey.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it. Any furniture we dismantled is reassembled where agreed. We remove our protective materials and leave you with a clear, tidy space so you can start settling in straight away.

Transparent Pricing

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotations are based on:

• Volume of belongings and number of rooms
• Distance between properties
• Access and complexity (e.g. stairs, lifts, long carries)
• Services required – such as packing, materials, dismantling/reassembly
• Timing – weekday, weekend, and any out-of-hours requirements

Before you book, you receive a written quotation explaining what is included, any optional extras, and any conditions (such as parking arrangements). There are no hidden add-ons on the day as long as the scope of the move remains the same.

Why Choose Professional Removal Services Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals team is about more than having a van. It is about experience, planning and protecting your belongings.

• Trained movers know how to lift and handle items safely, reducing the risk of injury and damage.
• We use proper equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets, covers – to protect furniture and properties.
• Moves are quicker and more predictable, reducing time off work or disruption to your business.
• Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance, which casual help usually cannot offer.
• We coordinate access, parking and timings so you are not left improvising on the day.

While DIY or casual man-and-van options may seem cheaper at first glance, the risk of damage, delays and additional trips often makes them more costly overall.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man and Van Surrey operates to clear professional standards to give you peace of mind.

• Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – covering accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
• Trained, professional teams – staff are experienced in safe lifting techniques, packing and handling of fragile and bulky items.
• Clean, well-maintained vehicles and equipment for safe, secure transport.

We follow best practices for loading, securing and transporting goods, and we always treat your property with respect, as if it were our own.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Protecting your belongings starts with careful planning and the right materials. We use padded covers for sofas and mattresses, protective wrapping for delicate surfaces, and sturdy cartons for boxed items. Floors and doorways can be protected on request, especially in newly decorated or carpeted properties.

We also take a practical approach to sustainability. Wherever possible we reuse strong, good-quality packing materials and can collect our boxes for reuse after your move. We plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and, where appropriate, consolidate part-load moves to cut down on wasted space and fuel.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House Within Surrey

For a typical three-bedroom house move, we provide a pre-move survey, a two- or three-person team and an appropriately sized vehicle. We can pack the day before or on the morning of the move, then load, transport and unload on the same day, keeping disruption to a minimum.

Office Relocation

For small and medium offices, we work around your business hours. We can move desks, chairs, filing cabinets, stock and IT equipment, either overnight or at weekends, to keep downtime low. We coordinate with your IT provider where required to protect sensitive equipment.

Urgent or Same-Week Moves

Sometimes completion dates change at short notice or tenancies end unexpectedly. Subject to availability, we can arrange short-notice removal services across Surrey, scaling the team to get you moved safely within the required timeframe.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removal services in Surrey cost?

Costs depend mainly on volume, distance, access and the level of service you choose. A small flat move within the same town may be completed within a few hours by a smaller team, while a larger house with full packing and a longer journey will take more time and resources. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear, fixed quotation so you know exactly what you will pay. There are no hidden extras as long as the details of the move remain as agreed.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Surrey, particularly for smaller properties or part-loads, depending on vehicle and crew availability. If your dates have changed suddenly, contact us as soon as possible with your locations, property details and preferred time. We will be honest about what is achievable and may suggest practical alternatives, such as a split move or additional vehicle, to meet your deadline safely without compromising care or causing unnecessary risk to your belongings.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover. These policies are designed to protect against the unlikely event of loss or damage caused during the move. We will explain the key terms and any limits before you book so you understand what is and is not covered. We still handle everything with care, but the insurance gives you additional reassurance and peace of mind.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard service includes a trained team, a suitable vehicle, loading and unloading of your belongings, and safe transport between addresses. We protect furniture and larger items, place items in the rooms you choose, and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture by prior arrangement. Optional extras include a full or part packing service, supply of packing materials, and additional labour where access is more complex. Your written quotation sets out exactly what is included so there are no surprises on moving day.

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

A professional removals service offers more structure, protection and accountability than a casual man-and-van. We carry appropriate insurance, use purpose-built vehicles and equipment, and provide trained crews experienced in handling all types of property. We survey in advance where needed, plan the move, and give written quotations and booking confirmations. A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small jobs, but for full property moves or valuable items, a professional removals service significantly reduces risk, stress and the chance of unexpected problems or costs.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

For most moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have a firm date, ideally two to four weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as month-end and school holidays. This gives us time to arrange surveys, parking and any packing services you may need. However, we understand that dates can change, particularly with property chains, so we always try to be flexible. Even if your move is only a few days away, it is still worth contacting us to check current availability.
