What is a house removal?
A house removal is a complete home move carried out by a professional crew and a large removal van. Depending on the size of the move, it's priced by the hour or as one fixed quote – we'll recommend whichever works out best for you. We handle the heavy lifting, protection, transport and setup, so you can focus on keys, kids and the kettle.
Every Southampton house removal is planned around your completion date. We check access and parking at both addresses, bring the right-size van and enough crew to finish the same day for most local moves.
Moving blankets, sofa and mattress covers, and stretch-wrap on every piece.
Beds, wardrobes and tables taken apart and rebuilt, with fixings bagged and labelled.
Heavy items strapped and loaded to protect fragile boxes in transit.
Furniture and boxes placed in the right rooms at your new home.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover from loading to unloading.
Full, partial or fragile-only packing, with boxes and materials supplied.

Moving house checklist
A simple timeline to keep your move on track.
Get removal quotes and book your date. Start decluttering and sell or donate what you don't need.
Book a parking suspension if needed. Order boxes or book our packing service. Tell your council, GP and schools.
Confirm times with your solicitor and us. Defrost the freezer. Pack a first-night box with kettle, chargers and bedding.
Take meter readings, check every room and cupboard, and hand over keys. We'll do the heavy lifting.
