Who Our Removal Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Moving house within Brent or out of the area? Our removal vans are ideal for 1–4 bedroom properties. We can pack your home, protect floors and banisters, and carefully position furniture and boxes in your new property so you can settle in faster.
Renters
Whether you’re leaving a studio flat or a shared house, we help you move quickly and neatly so you can hand the keys back on time. We’re used to top-floor flats, tight stairwells and limited parking – our team will plan around these challenges.
Landlords
Landlords and agents use our removal vans to clear properties between tenancies, move furniture between lets, or set up new furnished accommodation. We can remove old items for disposal and deliver replacement furniture, keeping void periods to a minimum.
Businesses
From small offices to retail units and consultancies, our removal vans are suitable for office relocations, archive moves and equipment transport. We work to agreed schedules to reduce downtime, and we can move outside standard office hours where required.
Students
Students in Brent benefit from a cost-effective removal van service that covers term-time moves, relocations between halls and private accommodation, or moving back home. We can combine multiple pick-ups and drop-offs to keep costs under control.
What We Can and Cannot Move

Our removal vans regularly carry:
- Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, desks

- Live animals or pets

If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll be happy to advise before booking.
Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Brent Movers with basic details: where you’re moving from and to, property type, dates and any special items. We’ll ask clear, practical questions so we can recommend the right van size, number of movers and time estimate. You’ll receive a detailed, no-obligation quote.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything beyond a very small move, we usually carry out a survey. This can be a video survey or an in-person visit in Brent. We assess access, parking, stairs, lifts and volume of goods. The survey helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures we send the correct team and equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you
- Part packing – we pack fragile or high-risk items only
- Self-pack – you pack, and we simply load and move
On moving day, we protect key areas of your property before loading: doorways, bannisters and floors where necessary.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team carefully loads your belongings, using blankets, straps and proper stacking methods to prevent movement in transit. Your goods are transported directly to your new address, unless we’ve agreed a different plan (such as multiple drop-offs).
5. Unloading & Placement
At your destination, we unload everything into the rooms you specify. Where agreed, we reassemble furniture and place larger items so you can start using your space straight away. We take away our materials and leave the property tidy.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Van Services
We price our removal van service fairly and transparently. Costs are usually based on:
- Volume of items and van size required
- Number of movers needed
- Distance between addresses
- Access difficulties (stairs, long carries, parking distance)
- Any additional services such as packing or dismantling
You’ll receive a clear written quote outlining what is included, with no hidden charges added on the day. We can offer fixed prices for most moves so you can budget with confidence.
Why Choose a Professional Removal Van Over DIY
Hiring a professional removal van service from Brent Movers offers several benefits over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:
- Safety – correct lifting techniques and equipment reduce the risk of damage or injury
- Efficiency – experienced movers load and unload faster and more systematically
- Protection – proper wrapping, padding and stacking keeps your belongings secure
- Reliability – confirmed booking times and a dedicated team you can contact
- Insurance – cover in place if something does go wrong
You avoid the hassle of hiring a van, driving an unfamiliar vehicle and relying on untrained helpers.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Brent Movers operates to clear professional standards so you know your move is in safe hands. We provide:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they’re in our vehicles
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during our work
- Trained, uniformed staff with experience in domestic and commercial moves
- Documented processes for handling, loading and transporting goods
We treat your belongings with the same care and attention we would give our own.
Caring, Protective and Sustainable Approach
We put protection at the heart of every move:
- Use of padded blankets, corner protectors and proper strapping
- Door and floor protection where risk of scuffing is higher
- Careful planning for fragile and high-value items
We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact where we can by reusing durable packing materials, offering crate hire instead of disposable boxes and planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Brent cost?
The cost of a removal van in Brent depends on the size of your move, the distance, access at each property and the level of service you choose. Smaller, local moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Our quotes always outline what’s included so you can compare like for like. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with brief details, and we’ll provide a free, no-obligation estimate.
Can you provide a removal van at short notice or same day?
We can often help with same-day or short-notice removal van bookings in Brent, depending on our schedule and the size of the move. Smaller jobs are usually easier to accommodate at short notice than full house moves. If your plans have changed unexpectedly, call us as soon as you can. We’ll check our availability, suggest practical options and give an honest answer – if we can’t help, we’ll say so rather than overpromise.
What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?
All moves carried out by Brent Movers are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they’re in our vehicles, and public liability insurance, which covers accidental damage to property during the move. Our team is trained to minimise risk through correct handling and packing. We’ll explain the key terms and any limits when you book, and you’re welcome to ask about additional cover for particularly high-value items if required.
What’s included in your removal van service?
Our standard removal van service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional moving team, loading and unloading, basic protection for your items and transport between your addresses. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing, unpacking, dismantling and reassembly, and the supply of boxes and packing materials. Your written quote will clearly list everything included, so there are no surprises on moving day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a basic man-and-van typically offers a driver and minimal assistance, Brent Movers provides a fully insured, planned and staffed removals service. Our trained teams handle lifting, packing (if required), protection of property and systematic loading. We use proper equipment, maintain our vehicles and confirm your booking in writing. This reduces the risk of damage, delays or cancellations and gives you a clear point of contact throughout the move.
How far in advance should I book a removal van?
For most moves, we recommend booking your removal van at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you’re moving on a Friday, weekend or at the end of the month when demand is higher. However, we know completion dates can shift, so we try to be as flexible as possible. If you’re moving at very short notice, get in touch and we’ll check our diary – we may still be able to accommodate you.
