Who Our Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating for work, we offer structured home removals that protect your belongings and reduce stress on moving day. From valuable furniture to sentimental items, we treat your home contents with care.
Renters
If you are moving between rented properties, timing and condition are crucial. We help tenants move efficiently, minimising disruption and helping keep both the old and new property in good order to support deposit returns.
Landlords
We work with landlords and letting agents who need a professional and reliable removals partner for clearing properties, moving furniture between rentals, or preparing furnished lets between tenancies.
Businesses
Our office and commercial removals service is designed to limit downtime. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock and archive materials, planning the move to fit around your trading hours wherever possible.
Students
We support students moving to and from Bromley, helping with shared-house moves, term-time storage transfers and smaller loads that still need trained, careful handling.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the basic details of your move – addresses, property types, approximate dates and any special requirements. We then provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey. Our quotes are clear and itemised so you know exactly what is included.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
We carry out a professional survey, either via video call or a visit to your property. This allows us to assess access, parking, volume of items, and any fragile or bulky pieces. From this, we finalise your quotation and plan the right size vehicle, team and equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
Depending on the service you choose, we can provide:
- Full packing service – we pack everything for you
- Part packing – we pack breakables and specific rooms
- Self-packing – you pack, and we supply materials if required
We use quality boxes, wrapping paper and protective coverings for furniture and mattresses. Our team labels items clearly for straightforward unloading.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and doors where needed, and loads your belongings methodically. Items are secured in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We then transport everything directly to your new address or in stages if agreed.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. If agreed in advance, we can dismantle and reassemble standard furniture such as beds and tables. We work with you to ensure key items are in place so you can start using your property straight away.
Transparent Pricing and How We Charge
We believe in clear, honest pricing. Our quotations are based on:
- Volume of goods to be moved
- Access at both properties (floors, lifts, parking)
- Travel distance between addresses
- Level of service – packing, dismantling, reassembly, materials
- Any special handling requirements or time constraints
Your written quote will confirm what is included, any optional extras and how long the move is expected to take. There are no hidden charges; any potential additional costs (for example, waiting time due to delayed key release) are explained in advance so you can plan accordingly.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van?
Using a professional removals company offers several advantages compared with moving yourself or hiring an informal man-and-van service:
- Fully insured – proper goods in transit and public liability cover
- Trained staff who know how to lift, protect and load correctly
- Purpose-built vehicles with securing points and protective equipment
- Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and property
- Less physical strain and stress for you and your family or staff
- Professional planning, timing and communication
A casual man-and-van may appear cheaper, but can lack insurance, staff numbers, and the experience needed for complex moves. With Bromley Movers, you know exactly who is coming, what is covered, and how the day will be managed.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Protecting your belongings and your property is central to how we work. Bromley Movers operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for peace of mind in and around your property
- Trained moving teams following safe lifting and handling practices
Our crews are experienced in handling fragile, heavy and awkward items. We keep clear records of each move and encourage you to highlight any particularly valuable or delicate belongings so we can give them extra attention.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your possessions as if they were our own. On every move we focus on:
- Using protective covers for sofas, mattresses and key furniture
- Securing items in the vehicle to prevent shifting during transit
- Protecting floors, bannisters and doorways where needed
We also consider environmental impact. Wherever possible we reuse and recycle packing materials, plan efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage, and encourage clients to pass on or donate unwanted items instead of sending them to landfill.
Real-World Removals Scenarios We Handle
Moving House in Bromley
From first-time buyers in flats to families moving between houses, we coordinate moves around completion times, key release and childcare. We can manage multi-vehicle moves and split deliveries if required.
Office and Commercial Relocations
For businesses, we plan relocations to minimise downtime. This can include evening or weekend moves, phased moves between floors, and careful handling of IT and confidential documents.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves have to happen quickly – a sudden completion date, change of tenancy or other time pressure. Subject to availability, we can provide short-notice or same-day removals within Bromley, giving you a structured solution at a stressful time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals in Bromley typically cost?
The cost of a removal varies depending on the size of your property, volume of belongings, access, distance between addresses and the level of service you choose. A small flat move within Bromley will usually cost less than a larger family home moving further afield, especially if packing and dismantling are included. After a survey, we provide a clear, fixed quotation outlining exactly what is covered. There are no hidden extras, and we can often suggest ways to reduce cost, such as flexible dates or doing some of the packing yourself.
Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Bromley, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. If your plans have changed at short notice, contact us as soon as possible with key details: addresses, property size, and preferred timings. We will check vehicle and crew availability and advise what is realistically achievable. While advance booking is always best, we understand that emergencies happen and will do our utmost to provide a safe, structured solution rather than a rushed, unplanned move.
What insurance cover do you provide?
Bromley Movers provides goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved, as well as public liability insurance for work in and around your property. This offers protection against the unlikely event of damage or loss during the removal process. During your quotation, we can explain the key terms, any limits, and how to declare particularly valuable items if needed. We also focus on prevention: careful packing, secure loading and trained crews, all of which significantly reduce the risk of damage occurring in the first place.
What is included in your removals service?
Our standard removals service includes the supply of a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, loading at your current address, safe transport, and unloading into designated rooms at your new property. We can add services such as full or part packing, dismantling and reassembling furniture, and the supply of packing materials. Your written quotation will clearly list what is and is not included, so there are no surprises on moving day. If you need something specific, such as moving items to storage en route, just ask and we can build this into the plan.
How is a professional removals company different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals company offers structured planning, fully insured services, and trained staff, using appropriate vehicles and equipment. A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, simple moves, but often lacks formal insurance, detailed quotes and the manpower needed for larger properties or heavy items. With Bromley Movers, you know who is arriving, what standards we work to, and how your belongings will be protected. This reduces risk, saves time, and usually proves better value when you consider potential damage, delays or additional trips.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Ideally, you should book your removal as soon as you have a likely date, especially if you are moving at the end of the month, on a Friday, or during school holidays when demand is higher. Many clients confirm their booking one to four weeks in advance. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy start dates can change, so we aim to be as flexible as possible. Contact us early to discuss your provisional plans, and we can reserve capacity or advise on the best options for your situation.
