Moving day, handled
Multi-floor carries and protected communal stairs. Floors and doorframes protected, furniture dismantled and rebuilt, keys-to-keys around your completion time.
Why us
Why Barnes families book us and recommend us
The video-survey price is the price
Your quote is built from what we saw on the survey, in writing. It does not change when the crew sees the stairs on the morning of your Barnes move.
Crews trained for full-house volumes
Lofts, garages, sheds, garden furniture, pianos and the awkward wardrobe on the top landing are in the plan and in the price, not discovered at 4pm.
Insured, DBS-checked, completion-aware
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover on every move, crews vetted, and written delay terms for the day the chain runs late.
Multi-floor carries in Barnes townhouses and conversions
Period stairs, half-landings and shared hallways need protection before anything moves. Crews here are used to piano and antique work, and will tell you honestly when a wardrobe has to come apart at the top of the house.

About the place
Moving house in Barnes what it actually involves
Around The WWT London Wetland Centre, Barnes is a village around a duck pond inside a loop of the thames, with the wetland centre nearby. The stock — georgian and victorian houses around the green, plus mansion flats and terraces. — means lofts, garages and garden contents add real volume to a house removal here, so they are counted at the survey. Narrow village lanes, conservation-area limits and Boat Race day closures.

Questions
House removals in Barnes answered
5-tonne lorry for six to nine hours. Volume, packing and access move the figure, with 27% of SW13 homes being privately rented, which is why we quote after a free video survey rather than guessing on Richmond upon Thames bookings.
Book provisionally four to six weeks out and confirm the moment contracts exchange around Barnes (South Western). We hold a Barnes date on a provisional booking without charge across SW13 — and this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory, with 27% of SW13 homes being privately rented, then lock crew and lorry to your completion day as soon as your solicitor confirms.
We wait. If keys are late the crew stays loaded and charges waiting time at the rate stated in your quote; if release slips to the next day the lorry is secured overnight for an agreed fee around Barnes (South Western) — and this being a short walk from Barnes (South Western), with 27% of SW13 homes being privately rented. Delay terms are written down before you book, not improvised in SW13 in this 46% flats neighbourhood.
Yes. A full packing service covers every room the day before on the streets near The WWT London Wetland Centre, with 54% of Barnes homes being houses, or choose fragile-only packing for kitchens, glass and artwork. Wardrobe boxes, export wrap and materials are delivered to your Barnes address in advance either way across SW13, with The WWT London Wetland Centre a few streets away.
Dismantle and reassemble is standard on a full house move — beds, wardrobes, tables, cots and flat-pack units come apart, travel protected and go back together in the right rooms at the new address before the crew leaves on SW13 jobs — and 57% owner-occupation locally, with 46% of homes here being flats.
Every Barnes move carries goods-in-transit and public liability insurance in Barnes, and the crews are DBS-checked. Higher-value items — pianos, art, antiques — are declared at the video survey so cover is confirmed in writing before moving day on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with 46% of homes here being flats.
We do. London Borough of Richmond upon Thames suspensions and dispensations are applied for by us with the council fee shown in your quote on this side of Richmond upon Thames — and this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory, with 27% of SW13 homes being privately rented, so the lorry stands legally outside the door instead of adding a long carry to your bill.
Yes — every street in SW13 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames on SW13 jobs. 2% houses and access means multi-floor carries and protected communal stairs, both of which we plan for before quoting on the streets near The WWT London Wetland Centre, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play.

Really pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw! Nothing got broken and even though they were working on an hourly rate they were really efficient, not to waste any time.
