At Surrey Man and Van, our removal van service in Surrey is designed for people who want a safe, well-organised move handled by experienced professionals. Whether you are moving a single room, a full house or a small office, we provide the right van, the right team, and a smooth, stress-free move across Surrey and the surrounding areas.

Professional Removal Van Service in Surrey

Our removal vans are purpose-built for domestic and commercial moves. Each vehicle is clean, well-maintained and equipped with blankets, straps, trolleys and tools so we can move your belongings securely and efficiently.

We operate throughout Surrey, including Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Redhill, Reigate, Farnham, Camberley, Kingston-upon-Thames and all surrounding towns and villages. Because we move people locally every day, we understand Surrey’s roads, parking rules and property layouts, which helps us plan a smoother, quicker move for you.

Who Our Removal Van Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are moving between houses or into your first owned home. We handle everything from flats to large family houses, ensuring furniture and valuables are fully protected and carefully placed in your new property.

Renters

If you are moving between rented properties, our flexible removal van service keeps disruption and cost down. We can work around check-in / check-out times, narrow stairways and limited parking often found in rented accommodation.

Landlords

Landlords use our vans for clearing properties, swapping furniture between lets and supporting tenant move-ins and move-outs. We can remove unwanted furniture, deliver new items and help you prepare a property quickly for the next tenancy.

Businesses

From small offices to local shops, our professional removal van teams can relocate desks, IT equipment, stock and documents with minimal downtime. We work to your schedule, including evenings and weekends by arrangement.

Students

Our vans are ideal for student moves to and from halls or shared houses. We regularly move students around Surrey and nearby universities, offering cost-effective options for small loads and term-time storage moves.

What Our Removal Van Service Includes

Included Items and Services

We can safely move most household and office items, including:

• Sofas, armchairs and beds
• Wardrobes, chests of drawers and other furniture
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines and cookers
• Tables, desks, office chairs and filing cabinets
• Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors and sound systems
• Personal belongings, boxes, books and clothing
• Garden furniture, tools and bicycles

Every van comes with a trained removals team who will load and unload for you, using protective blankets, straps and floor protection where needed.

Items We Cannot Carry

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we are unable to move. These typically include:

• Hazardous or flammable materials (e.g. gas bottles, fuel, solvents, fireworks)
• Illegal items or substances
• Live animals or pets (please use a specialist pet transport service)
• Open containers of paint, chemicals or oils
• Cash, jewellery and high-value personal documents (we recommend you carry these yourself)

If you are unsure about a particular item, mention it when you enquire and we will advise you clearly.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with your moving details: addresses, dates, property size and any special items. We ask a few focused questions to understand your move properly, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done virtually via video call or, where helpful, onsite. We assess access, parking, stairways, lifts and volume of goods. This lets us choose the right van size, team and timing, reducing the risk of delays or surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or we can offer a professional packing service. If we are packing, we bring quality materials and pack room by room, clearly labelling boxes. On the day of the move we protect furniture with blankets and covers, and use mattress protectors and floor runners where needed.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team loads the van carefully, securing items to minimise movement in transit. We plan our route around Surrey using our local knowledge, factoring in traffic patterns, bridge heights and parking restrictions to keep your move running to schedule.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just the hallway. We place furniture where you want it and can reassemble basic items we have dismantled, by prior agreement. Before we leave, we check that everything from our inventory has been delivered and positioned to your satisfaction.

Transparent Removal Van Pricing

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of goods and number of items
• Type and size of property
• Distance between addresses
• Access and parking conditions
• Optional extras (packing service, materials, dismantling/reassembly)

For smaller moves, we may offer a simple hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For larger moves, we usually provide a fixed-price quote so you know exactly what your move will cost before you commit. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges (such as congestion charges or extended waiting times) are explained clearly in advance.

Why Choose a Professional Removal Van Over DIY

Hiring a van and moving yourself can seem cheaper, but it often comes with hidden costs: time off work, fuel, multiple trips, potential damage and the risk of personal injury. Using our professional removal van service gives you:

• Experienced movers who know how to lift, protect and pack correctly
• Reduced risk of damage to furniture, walls and floors
• Faster, more efficient loading and unloading
• Vehicles properly equipped for removals, not just empty rental vans
• Full insurance cover that you are unlikely to get with a basic rental

Instead of spending a long, stressful day moving, you can focus on settling into your new property while we handle the heavy work.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Surrey Man and Van is a fully insured, established removals company. We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our care and on the move, subject to our terms and conditions.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury during the move.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced, briefed on safe lifting techniques and customer care, and supervised by senior movers.

We operate to clear procedures for handling, loading and securing goods, and we are happy to explain our cover and processes in plain language so you know exactly where you stand.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move as if we were moving our own belongings. That means careful handling, clear communication and respect for both your old and new properties.

• Use of furniture blankets, straps and wrapping to prevent damage
• Floor and door protection where needed, particularly in newly decorated homes
• Thoughtful stacking of boxes to avoid crushing contents

We also take a responsible approach to the environment. We reuse packing materials where appropriate, recycle cardboard and minimise unnecessary journeys through careful route planning. If you have unwanted items, we can advise on responsible disposal or charity donations, rather than simply sending everything to landfill.

Real-World Uses for Our Removal Vans

Moving House

From studio flats to family homes, our vans are sized and equipped to move your household safely. We can manage everything in one well-planned trip, reducing disruption and helping you settle in more quickly.

Office Relocation

We regularly support small and medium-sized businesses moving across Surrey. We understand the importance of protecting IT equipment and documents, and we work to agreed schedules so your staff can get back to work with minimal downtime.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves cannot be planned months in advance. When availability allows, we provide same-day or short-notice removal van services across Surrey. We move quickly but safely, keeping you informed at every stage so you know exactly what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal van in Surrey cost?

The cost depends on the size of your move, the distance between properties and the level of help you need. Smaller moves may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while larger house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Factors such as access, parking, dismantling furniture and packing services can also affect the price. Once we have your details, we provide a clear, written quotation so you know exactly what is included before you decide.

Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?

Yes, where availability allows we can often offer same-day or short-notice removal van services across Surrey. Urgent bookings work best when you can give us accurate information about what needs moving, access at both addresses and your preferred timing. We then match you with the right van and team as quickly as possible. While we cannot guarantee same-day availability every time, we will always be honest about what we can do and suggest practical options.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we are transporting, along with public liability cover. This is designed to protect your belongings while they are in our care, subject to reasonable packing, exclusions and limits set out in our terms and conditions. We are happy to explain the cover in detail and can provide documentation on request. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend you notify your own home insurer as an additional safeguard.

What is included in your removal van service?

Our standard service includes a suitable removal van, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We supply blankets, straps and basic protection for furniture as standard. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and out-of-hours moves by prior agreement. All inclusions are clearly listed in your written quote so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While a casual man-and-van may suit very small jobs, our service is run as a fully insured, established removals business. We provide trained teams, suitable vehicles equipped for moving, documented insurance cover and planned processes for surveys, packing, loading and delivery. We focus on protecting your belongings and property, not simply transporting items from A to B. For most home and office moves, this level of professionalism significantly reduces risk, stress and the likelihood of unexpected costs.

How far in advance should I book?

For most moves, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday or at month end, when demand is higher. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed and reserve the right van and team for your date. That said, we regularly help clients at shorter notice when our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of dates, times and services.
