House Removals

House Removals in Pimlico by Pimlico Movers

At Pimlico Movers, we provide carefully planned, professional house removals in Pimlico and the surrounding areas. Whether you’re moving a studio flat, a family home or a part-load into storage, our local team handles every stage with calm efficiency, clear communication and respect for your belongings.

Specialist House Removals in Pimlico

We’ve been moving people in and around Pimlico for years, so we understand the realities of local moves: parking restrictions, narrow streets, mansion blocks with no lifts, listed buildings and tight timings with estate agents. Our crews are used to coordinating with concierges, managing permits and protecting communal areas, so your move causes minimal disruption.

Every removal is planned around your property, access and schedule. From careful dismantling of furniture to safe transport of fine art, we combine practical experience with a calm, methodical approach.

Who Our House Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we manage full household moves from Pimlico houses and flats. We can provide full packing, dismantling of wardrobes and beds, and careful placement of furniture in your new home.

Renters

If you’re moving between rented flats, we understand the importance of leaving your old property clean and undamaged. We protect walls, floors and lifts, and can include part-packing services so you only pack what you’re comfortable handling yourself.

Landlords

We support landlords needing tenant changeover removals, clearances and deliveries to storage. We work efficiently and discreetly, with clear documentation and invoicing for your records.

Businesses

Small offices and local businesses in Pimlico use us for office removals, file and equipment moves, and mixed home/office relocations. We can operate outside normal hours to minimise disruption to your trading.

Students

Students moving into or out of halls and shared houses benefit from our small moves service. We’ll move boxed belongings, desks, bikes and a modest amount of furniture at sensible rates, with clear time slots.

What’s Included in Our House Removals

Items We Commonly Move

Our teams regularly move:

• Sofas, armchairs and living room furniture
• Beds, wardrobes, chests of drawers and bedroom sets
• Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
• Domestic appliances (washing machines, fridges, freezers – disconnected)
• Home office furniture, computers and screens
• Books, clothes, kitchenware and personal items
• Televisions, audio equipment and small electronics
• Suitcases, boxes and storage containers

Items We Cannot or May Not Move

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we generally do not move:

• Hazardous materials (paints, solvents, fuel, gas cylinders)
• Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
• Large quantities of cash, jewellery or important documents (these are best carried by you)
• Pets and live animals
• Unsealed food or perishables for long-distance moves
• Very high-value antiques or fine art without prior agreement and specific protection

If you have unusual or particularly valuable items, let us know during the survey so we can advise and plan appropriately.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quotation

Contact us by phone or online with your basic details: current address, destination, property size and preferred moving date. We’ll discuss your needs, any access concerns and optional services such as packing or storage. From there, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation explaining what’s included.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most full house moves, we recommend a short survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or an onsite visit in Pimlico. We assess access, parking, lifts and stairwells, volume of goods, and any special items. This ensures we quote accurately, send the right size vehicle and crew, and plan timing realistically.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – we pack everything, supplying all packing materials.
• Part packing – we pack fragile items (glass, china, pictures, mirrors), you pack the rest.
• Self-pack – we deliver professional packing materials in advance for you to pack at your own pace.

On the day, we protect floors and carpets, wrap furniture and clearly label boxes for easy placement at your new address.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained removals teams load your belongings carefully, using floor runners, furniture blankets, webbing and appropriate lifting techniques. We plan parking and building access in advance, particularly important around Pimlico’s controlled zones. Your goods are transported in purpose-built removals vehicles under goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we place items in the rooms you specify, reassemble agreed furniture and position larger pieces so you can start living in your new home straight away. We’ll check you’re happy with the layout before we leave and remove used materials that we can reuse or recycle.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of items and size of property
• Distance between addresses
• Access and parking complexity
• Level of packing service required
• Number of movers and vehicles needed
• Any additional services (storage, disposal, out-of-hours work)

You’ll receive a written quotation setting out what is included, any optional extras and our terms. If your inventory or dates change, we simply update the quote so you know where you stand.

Why Choose Professional Removals Instead of DIY

Moving yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van might seem cheaper, but it often costs more in time, stress and potential damage. With Pimlico Movers, you benefit from:

• Experienced, trained crews used to handling heavy and fragile items safely
• Proper vehicles with equipment to secure loads and prevent damage
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Planned timings so your exchange or completion day runs smoothly
• Help with furniture dismantling, reassembly and placement

This reduces risk of injury, breakages and delays, and allows you to focus on the practicalities of your move.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. Pimlico Movers is fully committed to professional standards at every stage of your move.

• Goods in transit insurance – your belongings are covered while being moved in our vehicles, subject to our terms and conditions.
• Public liability insurance – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property during the move.
• Trained moving teams – our staff receive ongoing training in safe lifting, packing, wrapping and customer care.
• Documented processes – clear inventories and job sheets for transparency and accountability.

We are always happy to discuss cover levels and supply confirmation of insurance on request.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Every move is handled with care from start to finish. We protect doors, bannisters and floors, and wrap furniture to avoid scuffs and scratches. Fragile items receive extra attention, with tailored packing and clear labelling.

We also work in an environmentally conscious way wherever possible:

• Using reusable plastic crates when appropriate
• Recycling cardboard, paper and plastics from packing materials
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Maintaining vehicles carefully to improve fuel efficiency

Real-World House Removal Scenarios We Handle

Moving House Within Pimlico

Many of our clients move between flats and houses within Pimlico or nearby neighbourhoods. We’re familiar with local buildings, loading bays and restrictions, which makes local moves smoother and quicker.

Office and Home Office Relocations

We assist professionals who are combining a house move with a small office relocation or shifting to remote working. We carefully move computers, screens and files alongside your household goods.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Chain collapses, last-minute completions and urgent relocations happen. Where we have availability, we can arrange short-notice removals and work flexibly to meet tight deadlines, while still maintaining proper care and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do house removals in Pimlico cost?

The cost depends on the size of your property, volume of belongings, distance, access and whether you’d like packing included. A small flat move within Pimlico will typically cost less than a larger family home move across the country. After a brief discussion and, where needed, a survey, we’ll provide a clear written quote with all costs itemised. There are no hidden fees, and we can often suggest ways to keep costs sensible, such as flexible dates or doing part of the packing yourself.

Can you handle same-day or urgent house moves?

Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or very short-notice removals in Pimlico and nearby areas. Availability will depend on vehicle and crew bookings, so it’s always best to call us as soon as you know you need to move. Even with urgent jobs, we still carry out a basic assessment of access and volume to send the right team. If we can’t safely manage a full move on the requested day, we’ll discuss realistic alternatives, such as split moves or temporary storage.

What insurance cover do you provide during the move?

Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and limits. We also carry public liability insurance to protect against accidental damage to property or injury caused by our work. Insurance is not a substitute for proper packing, so we still take great care with protection and handling. We’re happy to provide details of cover, and if you have very high-value items, we can discuss additional measures or ask you to notify your own insurer.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard removals service includes the vehicle, trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, and can dismantle and reassemble basic items like beds and tables by prior arrangement. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of packing materials, storage, disposal of unwanted items and out-of-hours moves. Your written quotation will clearly set out exactly what is included so you can compare options and choose the level of help that suits you.

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

A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport only, with limited equipment, uncertain insurance and variable experience. A professional removals company like Pimlico Movers provides trained staff, purpose-built vehicles, appropriate insurance, proper packing materials and a planned process. We carry out surveys, risk assessments and access checks, and we’re accountable for timings and standards. This greatly reduces the risk of damage, delay or disputes, and is especially important for larger moves, properties with challenging access, or where you have valuable or fragile items.

How far in advance should I book my house removal?

We recommend booking as soon as you have a likely moving date, particularly if you’re moving at month-end or during busy periods such as summer. Many clients reserve a provisional date a few weeks ahead and confirm once contracts are exchanged. That said, we understand that dates can change, especially with property chains, so we try to be as flexible as possible. If your move is imminent, contact us and we’ll let you know our next available slots and how we can best accommodate your timescale.
