Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with your moving details – locations, dates, property size and any special items. We will discuss your requirements, ask a few practical questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote. Pricing is transparent, with no hidden extras.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves or more complex properties, we recommend a survey. This can be done virtually using photos/video, or onsite in Heston and nearby areas. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, volume of goods and any special handling needs so we arrive properly prepared.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or choose our professional packing service. We supply suitable materials and carefully wrap fragile items, disassemble furniture where necessary and label boxes clearly. Even for self-pack moves, we can provide advice on safe, efficient packing.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and banisters where needed, and loads your belongings in a logical, secure order. Everything is safely secured in the vehicle for transport. We then drive directly to your new address, using sensible routes and timings based on our local Heston knowledge.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble furniture we dismantled and place larger items where you want them. Before we leave, we check that everything has been delivered, placed correctly and that you are satisfied with the move.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of items and vehicle size required
- Distance between properties
- Number of movers needed
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long carries)
- Optional extras such as packing or materials
You will always know what is included in your quote before you confirm your booking. Any potential additional charges, such as congestion or parking fees, are explained in advance wherever possible.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
While a basic man-and-van or DIY move can seem cheaper, it rarely offers the same protection, efficiency or peace of mind as a professional removals company. With Man with Van Heston you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
- Proper equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and tools
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Planning support, from packing advice to access checks
- Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and property
For most people, the cost difference is outweighed by the reduced stress, time savings and extra protection that a professional move provides.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We protect them with:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being moved
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during the move
- Trained, professionalmoving teams who follow proven handling methods
We work to clear procedures for lifting, stacking, loading and securing items, and we regularly maintain our vehicles and equipment to keep everything in good working order.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to protect both your belongings and the properties we work in. Where appropriate we use:
- Protective blankets, mattress covers and TV covers
- Floor runners and door frame protectors
- Straps and ties to secure furniture in transit
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:
- Reuse durable packing materials
- Encourage responsible disposal or donation of unwanted items
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal in Heston cost?
The cost of a removal in Heston depends on several factors: the size of your property, the amount of belongings, access at both addresses, distance travelled and whether you need packing services. Smaller flat moves may be completed within a few hours, while larger house or office relocations take longer and require more staff. We provide a clear, itemised quote after discussing your move or carrying out a survey, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you book.
Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?
We can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves, especially within Heston and the surrounding areas, but it depends on our schedule for that day. If you need a last-minute move, contact us as early as possible with your details. We will check vehicle and crew availability and let you know what we can offer, including realistic arrival windows. Even for urgent work, we still follow our standard safety and handling procedures to ensure your belongings are moved securely.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles. In addition, we hold public liability cover to protect you and your property during the move itself. These insurances sit alongside our careful handling practices, use of protective materials and experienced teams. If you have particularly high-value or specialist items, let us know in advance so we can confirm cover levels and discuss any additional precautions needed.
What is included in your removals service?
Our standard removals service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture where agreed. Optional extras include packing services and supply of materials such as boxes and tape. Before you book, we provide a written outline of what is included in your quote so there are no surprises on moving day.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service often focuses only on transport, with limited protection for your belongings and property. As a professional removals company, we provide trained staff, insurance cover, proper equipment and structured planning. We assess access, use protective materials, stack and secure items correctly and follow proven loading methods. This reduces the risk of damage, injury and unexpected delays. For most people, especially on larger moves, a professional service offers far better value and peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are moving at busy times such as month-end or weekends. Two to four weeks’ notice is typical for larger house or office moves, while smaller local moves in Heston can sometimes be arranged with shorter notice. The earlier you contact us, the more choice you will have on dates and times. However, we will always try to help with short-notice moves where our schedule allows.
