SD Removals is a London removals company based in Morden. We help families and individuals move house across all London boroughs. We can pack, dismantle furniture, load, drive, unload and unpack. Every move is covered by goods-in-transit and public liability insurance, and you get a clear quote before your moving day.
Every home is different, so you choose the help you need. You can book the move only, or the whole job from packing to unpacking.
We offer full or partial packing, using suitable materials for fragile and everyday items. We can also unpack and clear the boxes at the other end if you want. See our packing and unpacking service.
Beds, wardrobes and flat-pack furniture can be taken apart before the move and put back together in your new home. This helps large items fit through doors and stairs without damage.
Your belongings are loaded carefully and secured for the journey. At the new home, we unload and place items in the rooms you choose.
We protect your furniture and your floors during the move, so the job is not only about the items on the van.
Mattresses, sofas and other bulky pieces are handled with the right equipment. We also move pianos, antiques and artwork. Tell us about these when you ask for a quote so we can plan properly. See piano moving and large item moving.
If your moving dates do not match, we can store your belongings for a short or long period. See removals and storage.
There is no fixed van or crew for each size, because belongings vary a lot. Two 3-bedroom homes can need very different help. This guide shows what usually shapes the job.
Home size | What usually shapes the job | Worth telling us |
|---|---|---|
1-bedroom house | A smaller load, but access still matters: stairs, parking distance, large furniture | Wardrobe, sofa, bed size, whether you want packing |
2-bedroom house | Two bedrooms plus kitchen and living space. Loft, garage and shed contents are often forgotten | Loft, garage and garden items |
3-bedroom house | More boxes, more furniture to dismantle and more time. Packing help often saves a lot of effort | Children’s furniture, appliances, items to dismantle |
4-bedroom house | A larger volume across more rooms and floors. More to pack and protect | Number of floors, home office, outbuildings |
5+ bedroom house | Large volume and often valuable items. A separate packing day usually makes the move easier | Artwork, piano, antiques, storage needs |
The best way to get the right crew and vehicle is to give us your details and let us quote the job.
The cost depends on your home, your route and the help you choose. We do not publish fixed prices, because two moves with the same number of bedrooms can need very different time and effort. We give you a free quote before you book.

Packing tips: start 2 to 3 weeks before moving day with rooms you use least. Label each box by room. Keep heavy items in small boxes. Do not overfill boxes.
Keep with you: passports and documents, keys, medication, phone chargers, valuables, bedding for the first night and a few kitchen basics.
Ask us before packing anything flammable or hazardous, such as gas bottles, paint, bleach or fuel. Removal companies often cannot carry these, so check early.
Moving in London is different from moving elsewhere. Narrow streets, controlled parking and road charges can change how a move is planned. Tell us your postcode early so we can talk through your access.
Many London roads have controlled parking. Councils can often suspend parking bays so a removal van can park near your door, but rules, costs and notice times differ by borough. Some boroughs ask for around ten working days’ notice for resident bays, so apply early. Red routes are managed by Transport for London, not the borough, and need a different process. Check your own borough’s website for current rules.
Many London homes have steep or narrow stairs, tight hallways and small front gardens. Tell us what the stairs and doorways are like, and about any large furniture that may need dismantling.
The Ultra Low Emission Zone covers all London boroughs. The Congestion Charge applies in central London. Ask us whether any road charge affects your move so it is clear in your quote.
Moves often depend on completion day, when keys are released. Delays are common in a chain. Tell us your timing and any flexibility, and ask about storage if you may need to wait for your keys.
We offer evening and weekend slots, and same-day house moves where availability allows. Our opening times are Monday to Saturday 8am to 9pm and Sunday 10am to 4pm. If you need a fast move, call as early as you can, because last-minute capacity changes by the hour. See our last-minute removals service.
Sometimes you must leave your old home before your new one is ready. We can store your belongings short or long term, then deliver them when you are ready. Tell us your dates when you ask for a quote, so we can plan the move and storage together. See removals and storage.
Our base is in Morden, South West London. We move households across London, including:
We also move customers to and from nearby towns, including Crawley, Bracknell, Reading, Redhill, Slough, Woking and Surrey. If your move starts or ends outside London, ask us.
Customers have reviewed us on Google, Trustpilot and other sites. Read our reviews and compare them with other companies. We would rather you choose with confidence.
How much does it cost to move house in London? It depends on the volume of belongings, the distance, access, and extra services such as packing or storage. We give a free quote before you book. Use our cost calculator for a starting figure.
How much does it cost to move a 2 or 3-bedroom house? We cannot give an honest fixed figure without your details, because the same number of bedrooms can mean very different loads. Send your addresses, date and main items for a quote.
What is included in a house removal quote? A good quote lists the crew, van, moving date, addresses, any packing or dismantling, insurance and any extra charges. Ask every company for this in writing.
Is the price hourly or fixed? This depends on the job. We confirm the exact price before you book, so ask us how your quote is calculated.
Are packing services included? Packing is optional. We offer full and partial packing and unpacking.
When should I book? We recommend 2 to 4 weeks ahead. Last-minute moves can often be arranged, depending on availability.
Can I book a same-day house move? Sometimes, yes. Call as early as possible and we will do our best.
Do you work evenings and weekends? Yes, we offer evening and weekend slots, including Sundays. Hours are Monday to Saturday 8am to 9pm and Sunday 10am to 4pm.
Are my belongings insured? Yes. Every move includes goods-in-transit and public liability insurance. Ask us about the details of your cover before you book.
Do I need to be there on moving day? Usually, yes. Someone should be at each address to guide the team and sign off the rooms.
How long does a house move take? From a few hours for a small home to a full day or more for a large one. Packing, access and distance all affect timing.
Do I need a parking permit or suspension? Not always, but often it helps. Rules differ by borough, and red routes are handled by TfL. Check your borough’s website and tell us your postcode.
Can you move furniture up narrow stairs? Often, yes. We can dismantle large items where needed. Tell us about stairs and doorways in advance.
Can you move a washing machine or fridge freezer? Yes, we can move appliances. They should be disconnected and emptied first, and fridge freezers defrosted. Gas and plumbing work should be done by a qualified person.
Can you move a piano, antiques or artwork? Yes. Tell us when you ask for a quote so we can plan the right equipment.
What if my new home isn’t ready? We can store your belongings until you are ready. Tell us your dates and we will plan around them.
What can’t I pack? Ask us before moving anything hazardous, such as gas bottles, paint, fuel or bleach.
Which areas do you cover? All of London, plus nearby towns including Crawley, Reading, Slough, Woking and Surrey.
What is the difference between a removal company and a man and van? A removal company usually brings a crew and offers packing and dismantling. A man and van suits smaller loads. We offer both.
Tell us where you’re moving from and to, your date and the size of your home. We will come back with a clear quote.
