Items We Commonly Move

We regularly handle a wide range of household and commercial items, including:

Items We Cannot or May Not Move

To work safely and within our insurance terms, some items are either excluded or must be discussed in advance:

  • Hazardous materials (fuel, paint thinners, gas bottles, chemicals)
  • Illegal items or anything that cannot be legally transported
  • Large commercial machinery not previously agreed
  • Animals and live plants on long-distance moves

If you are unsure about any particular item, just ask during the survey stage and we will confirm what is possible.

Types of Removals Services We Offer

  • Part loads and small moves – ideal for students, room moves and smaller properties.
  • Office and commercial removals – organised, scheduled moves to minimise downtime.

  • Packing and unpacking services – from fragile-only to full packing.
  • Single large item moves – such as a sofa, wardrobe or appliance.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your moving details: addresses, property type, move date and what needs moving. We ask a few focused questions so we understand access, volume and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining what is included, any options (such as packing), and likely timings.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be a quick video call walkthrough or an onsite visit in Fortis Green or nearby. We assess furniture, access (stairs, lifts, parking), fragile items and any disassembly required. This allows us to allocate the right size vehicle, crew and protective materials, and to confirm a firm price.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

  • Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you.
  • Fragile-only packing – we pack breakables such as glass, china and pictures.
  • Self packing – you pack yourself and we only move what is ready.

We use quality boxes, bubble wrap and furniture covers, and we label items clearly so they can be placed in the correct rooms at your new property.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and starts by protecting floors and key areas where needed. Furniture is wrapped or covered, and items are loaded carefully and securely into our vehicles. We drive directly to your new address, keeping you informed en route, and we always handle your belongings as if they were our own.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new property, we unload systematically into the correct rooms. If agreed in advance, we can reassemble basic furniture such as beds and tables. We place items where you want them, helping you get settled more quickly. Before we leave, we carry out a final check with you to ensure nothing has been missed and you are happy with the layout.

Transparent Pricing for Removals in Fortis Green

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

  • Volume of goods (number of rooms and items)
  • Access at both addresses (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
  • Distance between properties
  • Services required (packing, dismantling, reassembly)
  • Number of movers and vehicles needed

We will always explain how your price is calculated and what is included. Any potential extra charges (for example, additional stops or waiting time due to key delays) are discussed clearly in advance so you can budget with confidence.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company provides key advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van service:

  • Efficiency – experienced crews load and unload faster and more safely.
  • Protection – proper blankets, covers and handling techniques reduce damage.
  • Planning – we assess access, parking and route in advance to avoid delays.
  • Insurance – your belongings are covered under our policies, not just your own risk.
  • Less stress – you are free to focus on keys, paperwork and family on the day.

While DIY might look cheaper at first glance, once you factor in van hire, fuel, materials, time off work and the risk of damage or injury, a properly managed removals service is often better value.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man with Van Fortis Green operates to clear, professional standards to protect you and your belongings.

  • Goods in transit insurance – covers your possessions while they are being transported in our vehicles.
  • Public liability cover – protects you and your property against accidental damage during the move.
  • Trained, professional staff – our team members are experienced movers, trained in safe lifting, packing and handling techniques.

Policy details and limits are available on request, and we are happy to explain how cover applies to your specific move.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take pride in moving your belongings carefully and responsibly:

  • Use of clean blankets, mattress covers and protective materials for furniture and fragile items.
  • Thoughtful handling in tight stairwells and communal areas to avoid scuffs and damage.
  • Reuse of sturdy boxes where appropriate and responsible recycling of worn materials.
  • Planned routes to minimise unnecessary mileage and fuel use.

Our aim is to combine safe, careful handling with a practical, down-to-earth approach to environmental impact.

Real-World Removals Scenarios We Handle

Moving House in Fortis Green

From first-time buyers moving from a small flat to families relocating to larger homes, we manage full household removals with clear timelines and minimal disruption. We can coordinate with estate agents and key handover times to keep the day running smoothly.

Office and Business Relocations

For local businesses, we plan moves around your trading hours, including evenings or weekends by arrangement. Desks, IT equipment, files and furniture are labelled and placed so your team can get back to work quickly at the new site.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up quickly – a last-minute completion, tenancy change or unforeseen situation. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice removals in Fortis Green and nearby areas, with a realistic, honest assessment of what we can achieve in the time available.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Fortis Green cost?

The cost of a removal in Fortis Green depends mainly on the volume of belongings, the distance between properties, access at each address and the level of service you choose. A small local flat move may be priced on an hourly rate, while full house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Packing, dismantling and reassembly are optional extras. We always provide a clear written estimate after discussing your move, so you know exactly what to expect before you commit.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice removals in Fortis Green and nearby areas. Availability will depend on existing bookings, the size of your move and how far you are travelling. For urgent moves, we recommend calling us as early in the day as possible with full details, so we can check vehicle and crew availability. Even if we cannot move everything the same day, we may be able to offer a partial move or short-term solution to bridge the gap.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and by our public liability cover for accidental damage to property during the move. Insurance is subject to terms and limits, which we are happy to explain and provide in writing. We do ask that you point out any particularly high-value or fragile items in advance so we can take extra precautions and confirm they are covered under our policy.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service includes loading your packed belongings, transporting them safely to your new address and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide protective blankets and basic furniture protection as standard. Additional services such as full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembling furniture, supplying boxes and materials, or disposing of unwanted items can be added if required. Everything that is included in your particular move will be listed clearly in your quotation so there are no surprises.

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

A professional removals service offers more structure, planning and protection than a basic man-and-van. We carry appropriate insurance, use trained staff, conduct surveys for larger jobs and bring the right equipment and materials. We plan around access, parking and timings, and provide written confirmations and receipts. A casual man-and-van often works ad hoc, with limited or no protection for your goods if something goes wrong. For anything more than a very small move, a professional removals team is usually safer and more reliable.

How far in advance should I book my move?

For the best choice of dates, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking your Fortis Green removal at least two to three weeks in advance. That said, we regularly accommodate moves at shorter notice where our schedule allows. If your exchange or completion date is uncertain, we can provide a provisional booking and confirm once your date is fixed. The earlier you contact us with your expected timeframe, the more options we can usually give you.
