Our removals service is designed to cover everything you reasonably need for a smooth move within Holland Park, across London, or nationwide. We can help with:
- Full house removals – flats, maisonettes, and family homes

Every move is overseen by a trained, professional team, using clean, well-maintained vehicles and the right equipment to protect your belongings and your property.
Local Expertise in Holland Park
Holland Park has its own quirks: narrow streets, controlled parking, conservation areas, and period properties with delicate features. Our team works here day in, day out, so we understand:
- Local parking rules and how to arrange suspension bays where needed
- Access issues in mansion blocks, basements, and mews houses
- How to protect staircases, wooden floors, and shared entrances
- Best routes to avoid congestion and low bridges for larger vehicles
This local knowledge helps us plan accurately, arrive prepared, and keep your move running on time.
Who Our Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are moving into a larger Holland Park property or relocating out of the area, we handle full households, valuable furniture, and fragile items with care. We can coordinate with estate agents and key collection times to keep the day running smoothly.
Renters
For tenants moving in or out of rented flats and houses, we work around check-in and check-out appointments, protect walls and flooring, and can offer packing help so your move is completed within tight timeframes and landlord conditions.
Landlords
We support landlords with end-of-tenancy removals, clearance of unwanted items, and moving in furnishings for new lets. We operate respectfully in shared buildings and can work to fixed access windows agreed with managing agents.
Businesses
From small offices to studios and retail spaces, our business removals minimise disruption. We can move IT equipment, stock, archived files, and office furniture, and we can work outside standard hours where required to reduce downtime.
Students
Students moving into or out of halls or shared houses benefit from a compact, efficient service. We move boxed belongings, desks, small furniture, and personal items, offering shared vans for cost-effective term-time moves.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
Contact us by phone or online with your moving dates, addresses, and a basic list of what needs moving. We’ll provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey if the move is larger or more complex. Quotes are clear and itemised so you know exactly what is and isn’t included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most Holland Park removals, we carry out a short video or onsite survey. This lets us judge access, parking, stairs, lift sizes, and the volume of belongings. We then confirm the vehicle size, team members required, any packing services, and realistic timings for move day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and professionally pack your entire property
- Part packing – for breakables, artwork, and fragile items only
- Self-packing – we provide boxes and guidance if needed
We also dismantle and prepare agreed items such as beds and wardrobes, and label everything clearly to speed up unloading.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and doorways where required, and carefully loads your belongings using trolleys, blankets, and securing straps. Vehicles are locked when unattended, and your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the road.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, reassemble agreed furniture, and position large items so you can settle in more easily. We encourage you to walk through the property with the team leader at the end to confirm you’re happy before we leave.
Transparent Removals Pricing
We price removals based on:
- Volume of goods and number of rooms
- Access at each property (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
- Travel distance and any congestion/ULEZ charges
- Level of service – self-pack, part pack, or full packing
- Any special items needing extra handling or crew
All costs are clearly set out before you book, with no hidden extras. If circumstances change (for example, extra items or access issues), we discuss options with you first so you stay in control of the budget.
Why Use Professional Removers Instead of DIY or Man-and-Van?
Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van often seems cheaper, but in practice it can cost more in time, damage, and stress. As a professional removals company, we offer:
- Trained moving teams who know how to handle heavy, awkward, and fragile items safely
- Proper protection – blankets, floor runners, straps, covers for mattresses and sofas
- Suitable vehicles with loading ramps and tie points
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Structured planning so you avoid last-minute issues with access or parking
This reduces the risk of injuries, breakages, and delays, and gives you a single point of responsibility throughout the move.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our duty of care seriously. Holland Park Movers is:
- Fully insured with goods in transit cover for your belongings
- Protected by public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to property
- Staffed by trained, professional movers who follow clear handling procedures
We’re happy to provide proof of cover on request and explain how our insurance interacts with your own contents policy, so you have full clarity before move day.
Care, Protection, and Sustainability
Every move is planned with care for both your belongings and the properties we work in. We use:
- Furniture blankets, shrink-wrap, and covers for upholstery and mattresses
- Floor and door protectors where required, especially in shared areas
- Safe lifting techniques to protect both our team and your items
We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact by:
- Offering reusable crates and sturdy, recyclable packing materials
- Reusing boxes where suitable and safe
- Planning routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage
Our aim is a well-organised move that treats your belongings, neighbours, and the environment with respect.
Typical Use Cases for Our Removals Service
Moving House in or Out of Holland Park
From top-floor flats off Holland Park Avenue to family homes near the park itself, we regularly manage complete household moves. We coordinate with agents, solicitors, and key collection so your move slots in with the realities of completion day.
Office and Studio Relocations
We help businesses move within Holland Park or to other parts of London, moving furniture, IT, stock, and specialist equipment in a planned, phased way. Out-of-hours and weekend moves can be arranged to keep your operations running.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves come up at short notice – a tenancy ending, a purchase completing faster than expected, or an urgent need to vacate. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day removals, focusing on safe essentials-first moving rather than cutting corners.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals in Holland Park cost?
Costs depend on the volume of items, access at each property, the distance between addresses, and whether you need packing services. Smaller flat moves within Holland Park are usually priced on a set hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger house or office moves are typically quoted as a fixed price after a survey. To give you an accurate figure, we ask some questions or conduct a quick video survey, then provide a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden extras.
Can you do same-day or urgent removals?
We can often accommodate urgent or short-notice moves, including same-day, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Smaller flat and student moves are usually easier to slot in at short notice than full house or office relocations. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early in the day as possible with details of what needs moving and both addresses. We’ll check vehicle and crew availability and offer realistic options so you can make a quick, informed decision.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they’re in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property. Insurance has limits and conditions, so we’ll explain the key points when you book, including how to declare particularly high-value items. We recommend you also keep your own home contents insurance in place during the move, as this can provide additional protection before and after transport, and for items you carry yourself.
What is included in a standard removals service?
A standard service includes a removals vehicle, a trained crew, loading and unloading of your belongings, basic protection (blankets, straps, and covers), and transport from your old property to your new one. We place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture if agreed in advance. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of packing materials, specialist protection for artwork or antiques, and storage if needed. Everything included will be listed clearly in your quotation before you confirm.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may suit very small, simple moves, but it usually lacks the structure, protection, and cover of a professional removals service. With Holland Park Movers you get experienced teams, proper equipment, insurance, planned timings, and a clear written quote. We assess access in advance, use the right size vehicles, protect floors and furniture, and take responsibility for the move from start to finish. This reduces risk of damage, delays, and unexpected extra costs on move day.
How far in advance should I book my removals?
For most Holland Park moves, we recommend booking as soon as your moving date is reasonably certain, ideally 2–4 weeks in advance. This gives us time to arrange surveys, parking suspensions if needed, and any packing services. However, we understand that dates can change, especially with property chains, so we remain as flexible as possible. If your move is sooner than that, contact us anyway – we’ll always do our best to find a suitable slot, particularly for smaller or local moves.
