Local Marylebone Expertise
Moving in Marylebone requires a good understanding of parking, building management rules, lift booking procedures and congestion. Our team works here every day, so we understand:
- Westminster Council parking suspensions and loading restrictions
- Access to mansion blocks and portered buildings
- Narrow streets, bus lanes and timing deliveries to avoid peak traffic
- Working discreetly in high-end residential blocks and commercial premises
This local knowledge reduces delays and helps protect both your belongings and the fabric of the building you are moving from and into.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your current property, destination, access, and any special items. Based on this, we provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey if the move is more complex. Our quotes are clear and itemised so you know exactly what is included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most Marylebone removals, we carry out a brief survey. This can be virtual (video call with a walk-through of each room) or an onsite visit. The survey lets us check access, parking, stairs and lifts, plus the volume of belongings. It prevents surprises on moving day and ensures we assign the right size vehicle and team to complete the move safely and efficiently.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer both full packing and part packing services, or you can pack yourself. With full packing, our trained team brings all materials – boxes, tape, wrapping paper, bubble wrap and wardrobe cartons – and packs your belongings room by room, clearly labelling each box. For fragile items, we use extra protection such as double-walled boxes and layered wrapping to minimise risk during transit.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, we protect key areas of the property, using door and bannister covers, floor protection where required, and careful handling throughout. Furniture is disassembled where needed and wrapped in transit blankets or covers. The vehicle is loaded methodically to keep items secure and stable. We then transport your belongings using our well-maintained vans and lorries, driven by experienced local drivers.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. Furniture is reassembled where agreed, and boxes are set down in the correct locations so you can unpack in a structured way. Before we leave, we do a final walk-through with you to confirm that everything has been unloaded and arranged as planned.
Transparent Pricing for Removals in Marylebone
We price each move based on clear factors:
- Volume of items and size of property
- Distance between addresses
- Access conditions (stairs, long carries, parking restrictions)
- Level of service (self-packed, part-packed, or full packing)
- Any additional services such as storage or specialist item handling
Rather than guesswork or vague day-rates, we provide a written quotation that sets out what is included, any optional extras, and our terms. There are no hidden fees for standard work; if we foresee any potential extras, we will explain them in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company is not just about convenience. It significantly reduces the risk of damage, personal injury and unexpected delays. Our team is trained in lifting techniques, furniture protection and safe loading. We bring the right equipment – dollies, straps, covers and tools – so bulky items can be moved safely through tight spaces. Unlike casual man-and-van options, our work is planned, documented and fully supported by insurance and established processes.
DIY moves often underestimate how long loading and unloading will take, how heavy certain items are, and the complexity of parking in central London. By using a dedicated removals team, you keep your focus on the paperwork, keys and utilities, while we handle the physical side of the move.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Marylebone Movers is a fully insured removals company. Your belongings and property are protected by:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury during our work
- Trained moving teams – all staff are briefed on handling standards, health and safety, and customer care
We work to established industry practices, with clear documentation, agreed inventories where appropriate, and straightforward terms and conditions. If you have particular high-value items, let us know in advance so we can discuss the best packing and cover for them.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Every move is handled with care. We use clean, well-maintained vehicles and protective materials such as quilted transit blankets, mattress covers and TV boxes to keep your belongings stable and secure. Where possible, we use reusable crates and durable packaging that can be used multiple times.
We aim to minimise waste by reusing cartons where they remain structurally sound, and we encourage customers to return or recycle packing materials after the move. Route planning is carried out thoughtfully to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions around Marylebone and beyond.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House in Marylebone
From period terraces to mansion flats and new-build apartments, we regularly handle full household moves in Marylebone. We coordinate with building managers for lift bookings and loading bay access, and can provide weekday or weekend slots depending on your completion date.
Office and Business Relocations
For businesses, we offer structured office removals, including packing of IT equipment and documents, dismantling and reassembly of desks, and labelled crate systems to keep teams organised. Moves can be scheduled outside normal hours to reduce downtime.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Occasionally, moves need to happen quickly – for example, tenancy changes, urgent property sales, or unexpected changes of plan. Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate same-day or short-notice removals in Marylebone. Contact us as early as possible and we will advise what is achievable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals in Marylebone typically cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, access conditions and distance between addresses. A local flat move will usually cost less than a multi-bedroom house move across London. After a brief discussion and, where needed, a survey, we provide a fixed quotation that details exactly what is included, such as packing, disassembly and any additional services. This way, you have a clear figure to work with when budgeting for your move, with no surprises on the day.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removals?
Same-day or very short-notice moves are possible when our schedule and staffing allow, particularly for smaller flats and partial loads. The more notice you give, the more flexibility we have on timing and team size. If you need an urgent move, call us directly so we can assess availability, vehicle sizes and parking. We will always be honest about what we can achieve safely within the time frame, and offer practical alternatives if a same-day move is not realistic.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicles, and public liability cover for our work at your properties. This protection is built into our service as standard. For particularly high-value or unique items, we may ask for details in advance so we can confirm appropriate cover and take any extra packing measures. We always recommend that you keep essential documents, jewellery and cash with you rather than sending them on the vehicle.
What exactly is included in your removals service?
Our standard service covers the provision of a vehicle, professional moving team, all labour for loading and unloading, and basic protection such as transit blankets and straps. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify at your new address. Optional extras include full or part packing, provision of boxes and packing materials, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and short or long-term storage. Every quotation clearly lists what is included, so you can choose the level of help that best suits your needs and budget.
How is your service different from a casual man-and-van?
While man-and-van services can suit very small, simple moves, they often lack formal training, structured processes and comprehensive insurance. We provide trained teams, fully insured vehicles, and planned moves based on a prior survey. This means better protection for your belongings, more predictable timings and clearer accountability if anything needs attention. Our vehicles carry the right equipment and protective materials, and we work to established standards, giving you confidence that your move will be handled with care from start to finish.
How far in advance should I book my removals in Marylebone?
For most moves, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, particularly if you are working to a fixed completion date or need a weekend slot. This gives us time to arrange parking suspensions, building access and any packing services. However, we understand that dates can change, especially with property chains, so we remain as flexible as possible. Even if your move is sooner, it is worth contacting us – we will check availability and do our best to accommodate your preferred date.
