Working daily in Egham means we understand local traffic patterns, parking restrictions and building access issues. We regularly handle moves in and around the High Street, university areas, residential estates and business parks, so we can plan routes and timings realistically.
We liaise with you in advance about parking bays, lift bookings and key collections to avoid delays on moving day. That local knowledge helps keep your move running smoothly from start to finish.
Who Our Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving between houses in Egham or further afield, we provide full packing, loading, transport and placement of furniture and boxes. We can also arrange short-term storage through our trusted partners where needed.
Renters
For tenants moving between rented properties, we offer flexible dates, evening or weekend moves where possible, and careful protection of walls, floors and stairwells to help you leave your property in good condition.
Landlords
We assist landlords with part or full property clearances, as well as moving furniture in or out of furnished lets. Items can be taken to storage, auction or recycling centres as agreed in advance.
Businesses
We support small and medium-sized businesses with office removals, internal reorganisation, and delivery of equipment or archive boxes. We schedule work to minimise downtime and can work out of hours where practical.
Students
We regularly help students with compact moves between halls, shared houses and home addresses. We offer smaller vehicle options and can combine moves to keep costs reasonable.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with details of your move. We ask a few questions about property size, addresses, dates and any special items. Based on this and, where needed, a survey, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras. We explain what is included so you can compare like-for-like with other removal companies.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything more than a very small move, we carry out a short survey, either by video call or in person. This allows us to assess access, parking, volume of goods, and any awkward items or dismantling required. A proper survey means we send the right size vehicle, enough staff and appropriate protection materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you.
- Part packing service – we pack fragile or high-risk items; you pack the rest.
- Self-pack – you pack your own boxes; we just move them.
On or before moving day we protect furniture with blankets, covers and shrink-wrap as required, and clearly label items for each room.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day our team arrives on time, talks you through the plan and then systematically loads your belongings. Floors and banisters are protected where needed. Everything is securely tied and positioned in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We then travel directly to your new address, using planned routes to avoid unnecessary delays.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new property we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. Items we dismantled are reassembled as agreed. We do a final walk-through with you to ensure nothing has been missed and that you are satisfied with the positioning of key items before we leave.
Transparent Pricing
We price moves based on a combination of factors: volume of goods, distance travelled, access at each property, level of packing required and any specialist handling. Rather than hourly rates that can easily overrun, we usually offer a fixed price for the agreed scope of work so you know where you stand.
All costs are outlined clearly in your written quote. Any potential additional charges (for example, waiting time if keys are significantly delayed) are explained in advance, not added unexpectedly on the day.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Using professional removal companies reduces the risk of damage, injury and delays. Our trained staff understand safe lifting techniques, correct loading patterns and how to protect delicate items. We bring the right equipment, including trolleys, ramps and protective covers, which most DIY movers do not have.
While small man-and-van services can suit very light moves, they often lack proper goods in transit insurance, formal terms and the staff numbers needed for larger properties. With us, you know who is turning up, when they will arrive and exactly what is covered.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Egham Removals is fully committed to professional standards. We hold:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained, professional crews with regular briefing and supervision
Policy details and limits are available on request, and we will explain any exclusions in plain language. Our teams work to established checklists and procedures so that each stage of your move is handled consistently and carefully.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to protect both your belongings and your property. Furniture is wrapped or covered, mattresses are bagged where required, and fragile items are carefully boxed and labelled. We always aim to minimise scuffs and marks on walls, doors and floors.
Where possible we use reusable protective materials and sturdy crates, and we recycle cardboard and packing waste responsibly. If you no longer need certain items, we can help route them to local charities or recycling centres rather than landfill, subject to pre-arrangement.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House in Egham
Most of our work involves full house moves within Egham or between Egham and surrounding towns. We coordinate with your completion or key handover times, plan for potential delays, and can often offer flexible loading and unloading sequences to fit in with cleaners, trades or inventory checks.
Office and Business Relocations
For businesses, we move desks, IT equipment, stock and archives in a structured way so that staff can resume work quickly. We label and zone items for each department, and can work in phases or outside normal hours to keep disruption to a minimum.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves arise at short notice due to changes in completion dates, tenancy issues or personal circumstances. Where our schedule allows, we can arrange urgent removals or next-day moves, providing a realistic plan rather than over-promising. We will always be honest about what can and cannot be achieved in the available time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals in Egham usually cost?
Costs vary depending on property size, access, distance and the level of service you choose. A small local flat move may be a few hundred pounds, while a larger family home with full packing will be more. After a short discussion and survey we provide a fixed written quotation so you know the exact price before committing. This quote will set out what is included, any optional extras, and how potential waiting time or storage would be handled if required.
Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?
We can often assist with same-day or short-notice moves, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Smaller flat or student moves are usually easier to accommodate at short notice than full house or office relocations. If you have an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with full details so we can assess availability, vehicles and crew. We will only accept the booking if we are confident we can complete it properly and safely for you.
What insurance cover do you provide?
We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved, as well as public liability cover for work at your properties. These policies are designed to cover the most common risks in a normal removal. There are always certain limits and exclusions, which we will explain clearly on request. For unusually high-value items, we may suggest additional cover or ask you to move them personally to ensure they are fully protected.
What is included in your removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your boxed and prepared items, plus basic protection of furniture with blankets and covers. We place items in the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture if this has been agreed in advance. Optional extras such as full or part packing, materials supply, disposal of unwanted items and storage can be added to your quotation. The exact scope will be listed clearly so you know what to expect on moving day.
How is a professional removal company different from a man-and-van?
While some man-and-van operators are reliable for very small moves, a professional removal company offers structured planning, trained staff, appropriate vehicles and proper insurance. We survey your property, provide a written quote, allocate the right number of movers and bring equipment such as trolleys, ramps and protective materials. This reduces the risk of breakages, injuries and delays. For larger homes, offices or complex access, using a professional firm usually works out better value and far less stressful than a casual van hire option.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, particularly if you are moving on a busy day such as a Friday or at the end of the month. Many customers reserve their date two to four weeks ahead, which gives time for surveys, packing decisions and parking arrangements. We can sometimes accommodate late bookings, but early contact gives you the best choice of dates and start times. If your date is not yet fixed, we can still discuss options and provide an indicative quote.
