House removal services
Full home removals in London from studio flats to four-bed houses across the SE and SW postcodes.
South London Removals
W&W Movers provides fully insured London house removals, with a strong focus on South London – Brixton, Peckham, Lewisham, Greenwich, Deptford, New Cross, Catford, Sydenham, Crystal Palace, Norwood, Streatham, Herne Hill, and Elephant & Castle – with Goods in Transit cover up to £25,000 and over 10 years of local experience. Our family-run removals company, based in West London, handles moves from studio flats to four-bed houses with transparent, itemised pricing, fixed timelines, and no hidden fees. The team’s local knowledge of residential parking restrictions, one-way roads, and traffic bottlenecks across SE and SW postcodes means access challenges: Victorian terraces in Brixton, tight side streets in Peckham, controlled parking zones across Lewisham and Southwark – are not a problem on moving day.
Our ULEZ-compliant, eco-friendly fleet of Luton vans means no surcharge applies for moves across any South London borough. Whether you’re moving from a studio flat in Elephant & Castle or a four-bed house in Greenwich, every job receives the same care and professionalism. We offer transparent pricing, firm timelines, and a stress-free experience from first contact to final placement in your new home. That’s why customers return – and recommend us.
We hold a top-rated Checkatrade score and over 200 five-star Google reviews. Customers consistently praise our friendly team, sound advice throughout the process, and outstanding service on what can otherwise be a stressful day.

House and Flat Removals in South London
House moves across London from W&W Movers cover everything from a one-bed flat in Brixton to a four-bed family home in Greenwich – each priced individually based on property type, volume, access conditions, and timing. The average cost of a South London removal is approximately £480, though this varies with property size, distance, and any additional services required. Your quote reflects your specific move, not a generic estimate.
Before loading begins, the crew places floor runners and door-frame padding to protect your property. Items are wrapped with bubble wrap and stretch wrap using secure techniques; heavy furniture and antique pieces receive additional protective layering. Our professional movers are trained to handle both boxed items and furniture, ensuring a smooth transition from collection address to your new address – whether you are moving home within South London or relocating across the city. For complex moves involving multiple floors, restricted access, or specialist items, our team has the equipment and experience to deliver a reliable removals service without added stress. Cross-city jobs are just as routine – whether you need a move into Central London or house removals in North London .
Office and Commercial Removals in South London
Business removals in South London run on your schedule – weekends and evenings included – whether the job is a full office relocation or a two-person internal reorganisation. We develop a tailored business relocation solution for each job, minimising downtime and keeping your operations running throughout.
Our office relocations cover everything from furniture and filing cabinets to IT equipment setup at the new address. Business relocations are planned in phases where needed, with the team aligning to your calendar so each stage completes on schedule. Storage is available on a short-term or long-term basis for equipment or stock held between phases.
Regular work across the area’s commercial districts means we anticipate access restrictions, loading-bay logistics, and permit requirements well in advance.
Packing Services
Our professional packing service covers three tiers: self-packing with materials supplied, partial packing for fragile or specialist items, or a full packing service where expert packers take care of everything – scaled from studio to five-bed house.
We provide high-quality packing materials (double-wall boxes, bubble wrap, stretch wrap, and protective wrapping) to keep your belongings safe during transit. Every box is labelled with the room name and contents for efficient unpacking at the destination. Decluttering before the move is worth the effort as fewer items mean a smaller van, shorter loading time, and a lower overall cost. If you need guidance on what to pack first or how to protect fragile items, our team is happy to provide great advice at the survey stage.
Storage Solutions with Collection and Redelivery
Our storage services work door-to-door with no minimum rental period – we collect, store, and redeliver on a date you choose. Flexible storage options make this suitable for gap periods between tenancies, staged sales, business stock overflow, and renovation holdovers.
The process runs in three stages:
- Collection: the crew arrives, wraps, and loads your belongings onto the van.
- Storage: clean, dry, individually alarmed units with 24/7 CCTV, every item inventoried on intake.
- Redelivery: all or selected items delivered wherever you need them whenever you are ready.
All stored goods are covered by insurance for the full duration against fire, flood, and theft. You receive a digital inventory after drop-off, so you know exactly what is in storage and can request a partial redelivery at any time.
Student Removals in South London
Students moving across South London use our man and van service to carry out moves between halls, shared houses, and flats near Goldsmiths, South Bank University, and campuses across Lewisham, Peckham, and Herne Hill.
| Scenario | Typical volume | Estimated time |
|---|---|---|
| Halls to shared house | 5–10 boxes + bedding + bike | 1–2 hours |
| Shared house to a new flat | 10–20 boxes + small furniture | 2–3 hours |
| End of year to parents’ home | 5–15 boxes, often long-distance | 2–4+ hours |
Need storage between tenancies? Belongings go into insured storage via our collection service – a typical student room fits within the smallest storage tier. Peak periods are late June, early September, and mid-January – book at least two weeks ahead to secure a slot.
Man and Van Services in South London
Move with our man and van service from £80/hour (plus 20% VAT) with two crew members and a 3.5-tonne Luton van – blankets, straps, and full insurance included. Ideal for moving a few boxes between flats, collecting a single item, or clearing a small stockroom. For properties larger than a one-bed, a full removals package is typically more efficient – quoted individually after a survey.
| Option | Crew | Hourly rate | Minimum | Full day rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Man and van | 2 | £80/hour + VAT | 3 hours | £600 + VAT |
| Man and van | 3 | £100/hour + VAT | 4 hours | £750 + VAT |
| Customer type | Typical job |
|---|---|
| Students | Halls, shared houses, home for the holidays – 5–15 boxes + bike |
| Single-item movers | Sofa, washing machine, mattress, flatpack furniture |
| Small flat renters | Studio or 1-bed, typically done in 2–3 hours |
| Office quick-moves | Desk setup, filing cabinets, small stockroom |
| eBay & marketplace sellers | Large items that will not fit in a car |
Areas We Cover in South London
W&W Movers regularly serves the following areas: Brixton, Peckham, Lewisham, Greenwich, Deptford, New Cross, Catford, Sydenham, Crystal Palace, Norwood, Streatham, Herne Hill, Elephant & Castle, Bermondsey, Borough, Camberwell, East Dulwich, West Dulwich, Nunhead, Brockley, Honor Oak, Bellingham, and Lee.
Coverage extends across the SE and SW postcode areas: we handle house removals and flat moves in both directions. The team knows the practical access challenges across these neighbourhoods – controlled parking zones, Victorian terrace layouts, narrow residential streets, permit requirements, and one-way systems – and plans efficiently around them. Cross-borough jobs into South West London or West London use the same crew and insurance.
Same-Day Removals in South London
We can often accommodate same-day bookings, subject to crew and van availability. Call early in the day for the best chance of a same-day slot — smaller jobs such as studio flats in Brixton or Elephant & Castle, single-item collections, or emergency office moves are easiest to fit in at short notice. Larger properties may require next-day scheduling. Same-day and short-notice bookings carry a premium over standard rates. As experienced South London movers, we do our best to accommodate urgent requests without compromising on quality.
Moving Timeline — Checklist
Start preparing 4–6 weeks before your move. The single most important step: book your removals company early – peak months (June–September and December) fill fast, and mid-weekday slots, especially Tuesdays or Wednesdays, are usually the most cost-effective. Keeping moving dates flexible where possible gives you more choice of slot and can reduce the overall cost.
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| 6 weeks before | Book your removal team. Confirm date, crew size, and any additional requirements. |
| 4 weeks before | Declutter room by room. Sell on eBay or Facebook Marketplace, donate to local charity shops, or bin. Fewer items = smaller van = lower price. |
| 3 weeks before | Apply for a parking bay suspension with your local council – Southwark, Lewisham, Greenwich, and Lambeth each have different lead times and fees (see below). |
| 2 weeks before | Compile a room-by-room inventory and photograph contents. Share it with the removals team for an accurate quote. Notify utilities, broadband, and Royal Mail of your change of address. |
| 1 week before | Box up non-essentials. Label every box with room, contents, and “FRAGILE” where needed. Confirm the parking permit is in place. |
| Moving day | Keep a day bag separate: documents, keys, chargers, medications, snacks, and cleaning supplies. Meet the crew and walk them through priority items and access points. |
We supply all packing materials: boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and labels. Order at booking so everything arrives in time.
Parking Permits for Moving Day in South London
If your street has a controlled parking zone, you need a bay suspension before your move – without one, the crew may have to park further away, adding 30–60 minutes to the job and potentially exposing the van to a £130+ penalty charge notice. Each borough has its own application process, lead time, and fees. Costs change regularly, so always check the latest rates with your local council before applying.
| Borough | Areas covered | Typical lead time | How to apply |
|---|---|---|---|
| Southwark | Bermondsey, Borough, Peckham, Camberwell, East Dulwich, Nunhead, Forest Hill (part) | 5–10 working days | Online via Southwark Council |
| Lewisham | Lewisham, Catford, Deptford, New Cross, Brockley, Honor Oak, Forest Hill, Sydenham | 5 working days | Online via Lewisham Council |
| Lambeth | Brixton, Herne Hill, Streatham, West Norwood, Clapham (part), Elephant & Castle (part) | 5–10 working days | Online via Lambeth Council |
| Greenwich | Greenwich, Deptford (part), Lee, Bellingham, Kidbrooke | 10 working days | Online via Royal Borough of Greenwich |
We can handle permit applications on your behalf – let us know at booking.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Our Removals in South London
A studio or one-bed flat in Brixton or Elephant & Castle typically takes 2–3 hours. A two-bed flat in Peckham or Camberwell averages 4–6 hours. A two-bed in Greenwich or Lewisham runs 4–5 hours. A three-bed Victorian terrace in Streatham or Herne Hill with full packing typically takes a full day. A larger 4+ bedroom home in Crystal Palace or Forest Hill: 10–12 hours or more. Multiple floors, narrow hallways, and permit-only streets – common across Brixton, Deptford, and New Cross – all add time. Your quote includes an estimated timeframe.
The average cost of a South London removal is approximately £480, though the final price depends on property type, volume, distance, and any additional services such as professional packing, furniture disassembly, or parking bay suspensions. A studio move in Elephant & Castle can come in significantly lower; a full four-bed house in Greenwich will cost more. Your itemised quote covers all of this upfront with no surprises.
Every South London removals job is covered by Goods in Transit insurance up to £25,000 and Public Liability Insurance. Full insurance coverage is included in every booking – not an optional add-on. If you have items of particularly high value, let us know at the survey stage so we can advise accordingly.
You can reschedule or cancel free of charge with at least 48 hours’ notice. Cancellations under 48 hours may incur a fee to cover crew and vehicle allocation. We know moving dates can shift due to property chains – contact us as soon as plans change, and we will find a new slot with no fuss.
The itemised quote covers labour, transport, packing materials, and insurance. ULEZ – no surcharge. Congestion Charge – listed separately if your move crosses the charging zone. Parking fines – only a risk if a bay suspension is not arranged in time (we can handle the application on your behalf). Waiting time – if property access is delayed beyond 30 minutes, additional time may be charged at the agreed rate. Nothing is added after booking without your agreement.
As early as possible. Peak months (June–September and December) fill fast. Mid-weekday slots, especially Tuesdays or Wednesdays, are usually the most cost-effective. For same-day or short-notice moves, call early in the day; smaller jobs are easiest to fit in. We recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks ahead for a standard South London removals job.
In most streets with controlled parking zones across this part of London, yes, you need a bay suspension applied to the council in advance. Lead times vary: Southwark and Lambeth typically require 5–10 working days, Lewisham around 5 working days, and Greenwich up to 10. Without a suspension, the crew may need to park further away, adding significant time to your move. We can handle the application on your behalf – just let us know at booking.
Most addresses in this part of London – Brixton, Peckham, Lewisham, Greenwich, Catford, Streatham, Crystal Palace – sit outside the Congestion Charge zone. If your move involves a pickup or delivery closer to Elephant & Castle, Borough, or Bermondsey, the £18 daily charge may apply on charging days. We include this as a separate line in your quote so you know upfront.
Yes – we handle house removal services and flat removals across all London boroughs and nationwide, as well as international removal services for customers relocating abroad. Whether you are relocating from Brixton to North London, Peckham to West London, or Greenwich to another city entirely, the same crew, insurance, and standards apply.
