Homes and Flats We Move in Wandsworth
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
House Removals Across Wandsworth and Beyond
When it comes to Removal Services Wandsworth, Giant Van offers a full range of removal services built around how people actually move in Wandsworth.
If you are leaving a studio flat on St John's Hill, a Victorian terrace on Allfarthing Lane, or a new-build apartment overlooking the River Wandle, we have a crew and van size to match the job.
Our man and van service is ideal for single-room moves, student clearances, and smaller flats.
Prices start from £54 per hour and rise to around £300 depending on distance and load size.
Full house removals, covering everything from packing to furniture reassembly, range from £250 to £850 depending on property size and the number of crew needed.
For office and commercial moves within SW18 and neighbouring postcodes, we charge £300 to £600.
Every booking includes blanket wrapping for furniture, floor protection in hallways and staircases, and a pre-move chat to plan the day.
We use Mercedes Sprinter and Luton box vans, so everything fits in fewer trips.
Every move is handled by experienced, vetted crews.
That matters for accountability on the day.
We cover every part of Wandsworth Borough: Balham, Tooting, Tooting Bec, Streatham Park, Earlsfield, Southfields, Summerstown, Garratt Lane, Furzedown, and the riverside stretches near Battersea.
If your postcode begins SW11, SW12, SW16, SW17, or SW18, we already know your roads.
Crew Navigation for House Removals in Wandsworth
Wandsworth Borough has some of the trickiest access conditions in South London.
Getting this wrong on moving day costs hours. We plan for it before we arrive.
Parking suspensions are compulsory on most residential streets here.
Garratt Lane between Earlsfield and Tooting runs controlled parking from 8am to 7pm Monday to Saturday. East Hill, which connects the town centre to Wandsworth Common, has double yellows on both sides with no loading before 10am.
Battersea Park Road near the Queenstown Road junction allows loading bays only, and they fill quickly after 8am.
For high-rise and apartment buildings, we check with the building management before every move.
Properties on the Ram Quarter development off Wandsworth High Street require a lift booking at least 48 hours in advance. Several blocks on the Doddington Estate in SW11 have barriers that need fob access, so we always confirm entry codes beforehand.
Wandsworth Bridge has weight restrictions for vehicles over 7.5 tonnes, which occasionally affects routing.
We use Luton vans rated under that threshold for most jobs, avoiding delays and permit requirements.
If you need a parking suspension bay reserved outside your property, we can arrange this through Wandsworth Council's Highways team.
Applications typically need five working days. We handle the paperwork as part of our full-service booking. Tell us your postcode when you call and we will check the specific restrictions that apply to your road.
Wandsworth Removals Pricing
Giant Van offers straightforward pricing across all removal types in Wandsworth. Man and van bookings start from £54 per hour and run up to £300 for larger loads or longer journeys.

Office and commercial removals in SW17, SW18, and surrounding postcodes range from £300 to £600 depending on the volume of items and floors involved. All prices include crew, van, equipment, and goods-in-transit insurance. No hidden charges. Message us in the live chat for a written quote specific to your address and move date.
All prices include a fully insured crew, van, and moving blankets. Packing services available as add-ons.
Work Out Your Moving CostWandsworth: Steps Before Your House Removals
Follow them and you will avoid the most common problems.
Wandsworth Council requires this minimum. Do not assume your removal crew can double-park on Longley Road or Trinity Road without a penalty notice.
Colour-coded tape on box ends speeds up a two-storey unload by around 20 minutes.
IKEA beds and wardrobes take 15 to 25 minutes each. Having them in panels before the crew arrives means you are not paying hourly rates while an Allen key is found.
Buildings on the Ram Quarter development and most purpose-built flats along Wandsworth Town's riverside require advance booking. One lift shared between six floors becomes a bottleneck fast.
Residual water in a drum that tips sideways soaks boxes and can damage hardwood flooring. This is the most common avoidable damage we see.
A freezer moved with ice and water inside is both heavier and a slip hazard on staircases.
These should travel in your car, not the van.
Many Wandsworth moves are chain-dependent. If keys are delayed past 2pm, your afternoon slot may need to run into overtime. We are flexible, but knowing in advance helps everyone plan.

Getting Started With House Removals in Wandsworth
- 01
Getting a removal booked with Giant Van takes four steps, and the whole process from first contact to confirmed date usually takes under 24 hours.
- 02
Step one is your quote.
Call or use our online form. We ask for your current postcode, destination postcode, property size, and moving date. We will ask about access conditions, whether there is a lift, and we handle packing. We do not charge for quotes, and there is no obligation to book.
- 03
Step two is the survey.
For moves involving three-bedroom properties or larger, or any job with antiques, pianos, or unusual items, we carry out a free video or in-person survey. This lets us give you a fixed price rather than an estimate. Fixed-price bookings mean no surprise charges even if the job runs longer than expected.
- 04
Step three is confirmation.
We send a written booking confirmation with the agreed price, crew size, van type, and arrival time. You pay in full when you book — there's no deposit and nothing to pay on the day. Step four is moving day. Our crew arrives at the agreed time, typically 8am for morning starts.
- 05
They do a walk-through of the property before touching anything, confirming what is going and what is staying.
The lead crew member keeps you updated throughout the day.

What House Removals Customers in Wandsworth Say
There are dozens of removal companies operating in South London. Here is what makes Giant Van different from the general-market alternatives.
We know Wandsworth in detail. We know that the residents' parking zone outside the streets around Wandsworth Common requires a Controlled Parking Zone permit for any vehicle over four hours. We know that the service road behind Southside Shopping Centre has a 2-metre height barrier. We know that Trinity Road becomes gridlocked after school drop-off on weekday mornings.
This knowledge is not in any manual. It comes from running jobs here week after week.
Our pricing is transparent and written before the job starts. We confirm congestion charges, fuel, and weekend bookings with you at booking, so the total stays exactly as quoted, unless stated in the original quote. What we quote is what you pay.
Our crews average four years of experience. We do not use zero-hours agency workers. Every person on your move is employed and trained by us. That means consistent standards across every job.
We are available seven days a week including bank holidays. Completion day delays are common in Wandsworth's chain-heavy property market. We do not charge cancellation fees for changes made more than 72 hours before your move date.
Many Wandsworth customers book us again or refer us on. Many of our Wandsworth customers come from referrals by neighbours who used us on the same street. You can reach us on any day between 7am and 8pm.

House Removals Wandsworth, London — FAQs
How much does a house removal in Wandsworth cost?
House removals in Wandsworth range from £250 for a one-bedroom flat to £850 for a large four-bedroom property with full packing. Man and van services start at £54 per hour. The final price depends on property size, floor level, access conditions, and if you need packing. Call for a written, fixed-price quote specific to your move.
Do I need a parking suspension for my move in SW18?
Most streets in SW18 and across Wandsworth Borough operate controlled parking zones. You will need a suspension if loading outside your property for more than the permitted loading time, which is often just a few minutes on yellow lines. Giant Van can apply to Wandsworth Council on your behalf. Applications need at least five working days.
Tell us your street when you call and we will check the specific rules.
How far in advance should I book a removal in Wandsworth?
We recommend booking at least two weeks in advance for weekday moves and four to six weeks ahead for Saturdays between March and July. End-of-month completions fill our diary quickly across Wandsworth, Battersea, and Earlsfield. We do take last-minute bookings when availability allows. Start a live chat to check your date.
Can you move a piano from a property in Wandsworth?
Yes. Giant Van moves upright and grand pianos across Wandsworth Borough. Pianos require specialist equipment, including a piano board, straps, and a minimum of three trained crew members for staircases. We survey the staircase and door widths before the move date for any property on streets like Broomwood Road or Allfarthing Lane where Victorian layouts can be tight.
Ask for a piano removal quote when you call.
Do you offer storage alongside removals in Wandsworth?
Yes. We operate a secure storage facility close to SW17 with 24-hour CCTV monitoring, racked timber flooring to prevent damp, and access by appointment. Storage is available short-term for a few days during chain delays and long-term for several months. Your belongings are loaded directly into your storage unit from the removal van.

Is packing included in your Wandsworth removal service?
Packing is included in our full house removal service. Our crew brings double-walled boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, mirror packs, and mattress covers. They pack every room, label each box by room, and wrap all fragile items before loading. If you prefer to pack yourself, our man and van service covers loading, transport, and unloading only.
Ask us which option suits your budget when you call for a quote.
What happens if my solicitor delays my completion in Wandsworth?
Completion delays are common in Wandsworth's chain-heavy market. Our crews build waiting time into their day on move day. If keys are delayed past 2pm, we manage your loaded van safely while you wait for confirmation. We do not charge a penalty for reasonable delays on completion day. For major delays beyond three hours, a small waiting fee may apply.
We discuss this with you before and on the day.
