Cheap removals in Wimbledon start at £140: Driver Help at the 2-hour minimum, on a published card of Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 and 3 Men £100. A typical 2-bed move totals £340 to £425. The full Wimbledon hub and the main house removals service run on the same card; this page is about keeping the total down, and in Wimbledon that starts ten full working days before the move, because that is the notice Merton Council needs for a suspension, among the longest lead times we work to in London. The full picture is on the removals in Wimbledon hub and the main house removals service, which run on the same card and terms. The area detail is on the House removals in Wimbledon page.
Wimbledon is not one moving job. The Village, on the hill above the town centre, is period and detached houses, many set back behind drives and gates, on narrower streets with limited kerbside space and stepped approaches up to the door: the furniture is rarely the problem there, the carry is. The town centre and the Broadway are mansion blocks and modern flat developments around the station, running on booked lifts, managing-agent rules and agreed move windows, with no loading bay of their own in most blocks, so the van loads from the street and a Merton suspension is usually the plan.
Raynes Park and South Wimbledon bring the residential south-west: the Apostles’ grid of tree-named terraces and the conversions along Haydons Road, with 1930s semis and maisonettes around them, on streets that are residential and completely parked up, so the loading point is a decision, not an assumption. Wimbledon Park and Merton Park are the big-house quarter: substantial Edwardian houses with big rooms, wide stairs and several floors of furniture, and the Arts and Crafts garden-suburb streets of the John Innes conservation area, generous houses on characterful streets with very little spare parking on any of them. Share the approach to your door, not just the Wimbledon name, and the quote is built on the right one of the four.
Period houses on the hill: set-back plots, gates, stepped approaches and narrow streets. Loading positions are tight and the parking plan is agreed before the date is.
Mansion blocks and flat developments by the station: booked lifts, agent rules and move windows, and the borough’s densest controlled parking outside.
The Apostles’ terraces, Haydons Road conversions and 1930s semis: completely parked-up streets where the loading point is a decision, and one zone that runs a single hour a day.
Substantial Edwardian houses and the John Innes garden suburb: house-sized moves on characterful streets with very little spare parking.
Wimbledon spans the whole table: mansion-block flats and South Wimbledon maisonettes price off the first rows, the Apostles terraces and Merton Park houses off the middle rows, and the Village and Wimbledon Park houses off the upper rows. The parking at each address, not the postcode, decides where in the range a total lands. The card is the same across London; what Wimbledon changes is the diary, because the parking clock starts earlier here than anywhere else.
| Job | Crew | Time | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bed flat near Wimbledon station | 2 Men | 2 to 3 hours | £170 to £255 |
| 2-bed Apostles terrace, Raynes Park | 2 Men | 4 to 5 hours | £340 to £425 |
| 3-bed house, Wimbledon Park | 3 Men | 5 to 6 hours | £500 to £600 |
| Larger Village house | 3 Men | 6 to 8 hours | £600 to £800 |
| A few rooms only (part-load) | Driver Help or 2 Men | 2 to 3 hours | £140 to £255 |
Worked from our published hourly card (Driver Help £70, 2 Men £85, 3 Men £100 per hour, 2-hour minimum): every total above is the rate times the hours. Your written quote confirms the total for your addresses before you book. Included beside every price: the Luton van with a tail lift, loading, unloading and carrying at both ends, blankets, wrap and straps, dismantling and reassembly where booked, fuel and mileage within London, and placement in the right rooms. Add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs (lift-served floors are not charged): tell us the floors at both addresses when you ask for a quote and the charge is in the quote, not a surprise on the day.
Merton’s ten full working days is among the longest parking lead times we work to in London, so the cheap Wimbledon move is the early-booked one: quote agreed, application in, date set, in that order. A move booked late is not necessarily impossible, but it is never cheaper, and around the Championships fortnight the application goes in earlier still. Inside the day itself, the first day is the cheap day, £36.75 a bay against £40 a day after that, so the plan finishes inside it: declutter first, pack before the day, and size the crew to the house rather than to the hourly rate.
The second lever is the zone map, used honestly. Some Wimbledon zones run almost around the clock, and some run for an hour a day: a Raynes Park move genuinely contained outside the RPC zone’s single hour, 11am to 12 noon, may need no suspension on that street, and a Village move inside the VSW1 zone’s few weekday hours needs one whatever the hour. Both are checked street by street at quote stage, because a zone boundary can run down the middle of a road, and the answer is confirmed in your written quote rather than assumed from the area’s reputation.
The cheapest hour is not always the cheapest move: a 3 Men crew at £100 per hour that finishes sooner can cost less in total than a smaller crew on a longer day, and Driver Help at £70 per hour is the cheapest hour only where one mover genuinely fits the job. The written quote works the comparison for your load and your access, and shows both totals where both crews are realistic.
One thing surprises people moving here: the place is Wimbledon, but the parking is run by the London Borough of Merton. Merton covers Wimbledon with more than 40 controlled parking zones, 15 of them in the town centre alone, so if your street is in a zone, a removal van cannot simply wait in a bay all morning. The suspension charges are simple by London standards: a £36.75 admin fee per application, then £36.75 for the first day per bay, and £40 per bay per day after that. A bay is roughly five to six metres, so a Luton needs about two, and two bays for one day come to £110.25 all-in. Where there is no bay to suspend, a yellow line waiver costs £36.75 per vehicle per day. Changing the paperwork after it has been issued costs another £36.75, so the vehicle details are worth getting right first time.
The deadline is the thing to respect: Merton needs the application in at least ten full working days before the day you need it, among the longest lead times we work to in London. So the order is fixed: agree the written quote first, apply for the parking second, and only then treat the date as set. The zone patchwork rewards local knowledge, too. Zones W3 and W4 run Monday to Saturday until 11pm and include Sunday and bank holiday afternoons, so an evening or Sunday move there needs the arrangement just the same, while Raynes Park’s RPC zone operates for one hour a day, 11am to 12 noon, and a move genuinely contained outside that window may need no suspension on that street. That is checked street by street at quote stage and confirmed in your quote, never assumed, because a zone boundary can run down the middle of a road. For the Championships fortnight in late June and early July, temporary restrictions settle around Church Road and Wimbledon Park Road by the All England Club, and the application goes in earlier than the standard ten working days.
| Admin fee | £36.75 per application |
|---|---|
| First day | £36.75 per bay |
| After the first day | £40 per bay per day |
| Two bays, one day | £110.25 all-in |
| Changing the paperwork | Another £36.75 after the suspension has been issued |
| Notice period | Ten full working days |
| Yellow line waiver | £36.75 per vehicle per day |
Parking charges are set and charged by Merton Council: you apply and pay the council directly, and the fee never sits inside your removals quote. The arrangement for your exact address is confirmed in your written quote.

The council fee in this illustration is set and charged by Merton Council: you apply and pay the council directly, and it is shown separately from the removals total rather than inside it. The first day is the cheap day in Merton’s scheme, at £36.75 a bay against £40 a day after that, which is one more reason the plan finishes inside it. The removals total is the rate times the hours from our published card, and the arrangement for your exact address is confirmed in your written quote.
The borough is not one move. What each area asks of the crew, the van and the parking plan, in short.
The period and detached houses on the hill: set-back plots, stepped approaches, narrow streets and the climb of Wimbledon Hill Road between the Village and everywhere else.
Mansion blocks and developments around the station: booked lifts and move windows, no loading bays of their own, and Merton’s densest controlled parking.
Conversions and maisonettes along Haydons Road and the streets towards Colliers Wood: residential, parked up, and priced as the flat rows of the table.
The Apostles’ tree-named terraces and 1930s semis: completely parked-up streets, and the RPC zone that operates for one hour a day.
Substantial Edwardian houses between the park and the town: big rooms, wide stairs, several floors of furniture, and very little spare parking.
The John Innes garden-suburb streets: Arts and Crafts houses on characterful roads, house-sized moves planned like house moves.
Semis and family houses on the borough’s western side: easier street loading than the centre, with the run in over the A3 or the South Circular.
Four steps, and the preparation steps are the ones that keep the total down.
Rooms, postcodes, floors and lifts at both addresses, and what the access is really like. The cheaper quotes are the accurate ones: a crew sized from the real job never has to grow on the day.
The quote comes back in writing with the crew size, the hours the move should take, the total worked as the rate times the hours, and the parking answer for each address. It is valid for 7 days, and booking takes no deposit.
Sort each room four ways (move it, charity you name, set aside, disposal route), pack and label what is moving, and stage it so the crew loads without hunting. Every hour of this you do is an hour you do not buy.
The crew loads, drives, and places everything in the right rooms, rebuilding where booked, then checks the home off with you. Payment is at the time of service.
In Wimbledon a suspension or waiver application needs ten full working days of notice, among the longest lead times we work to in London, so the quote is agreed first and the parking applied for straight after.
| Point of comparison | The typical way | With Vano Removals |
|---|---|---|
| The price | A day rate quoted for a home the firm has never asked about, with the real total settled once the van is loaded | A published hourly card, totals worked by job type on this page, and your total confirmed in a written quote before the day |
| Crew size | The smallest crew that keeps the hourly rate looking low, however long the day runs | The crew that gives the lowest total for your building and your access, with the comparison shown in the quote where both options are realistic |
| Parking | Discovered on the morning, with the van circling while the clock runs | Confirmed at quote stage street by street, and applied for inside Merton’s ten full working days: two bays for one day at £110.25 all-in, with short-hour zones checked honestly before any suspension is bought |
| Stairs and access | Stair charges appearing per item or per trip once the crew sees the building | A flat £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs, lift-served floors not charged, stated in the written quote |
| Deposit and cancellation | A deposit to book is common, and cancellation windows vary widely at the budget end | No deposit to book; free cancellation up to 24 hours before; quotes valid 7 days; payment at the time of service |

“Vano Removals moved our 2-bed flat from Croydon to Sutton last week. The two-man crew arrived on time, wrapped the sofa and TV properly, and finished quicker than I expected. Nothing was damaged. Booking was simple and the final price matched the written quote. Would use them again.”

A 1-bed flat is usually £170 to £255 with 2 Men, a 2-bed terrace £340 to £425, a 3-bed house £500 to £600 with 3 Men, and a larger Village house £600 to £800. Every total is the rate times the hours.

Wimbledon is in the London Borough of Merton, and Merton charges a £36.75 admin fee per application, plus £36.75 for the first day per bay and £40 per bay per day after that, so two bays for one day come to £110.25 all-in. The application needs ten full working days of notice, changing the paperwork afterwards costs another £36.75, and where there is no bay to suspend a yellow line waiver costs £36.75 per vehicle per day. You apply and pay Merton Council directly; we supply the vehicle details and confirm the bay count and the position for your street at quote stage.
The parking pressure, mostly. For the fortnight in late June and early July, temporary restrictions and closures settle around Church Road and Wimbledon Park Road by the All England Club, and parking across the area peaks for the year. If your move falls in that window, tell us the date when you enquire and apply earlier than the standard ten full working days. The removals rates are the same; it is the council’s diary, and the streets, that fill up.
It costs time, which is the bill: a house set well back from the road can put a long drive or garden path between the van and the front door, walked hundreds of times in a day, and stepped approaches up to the door lengthen every trip further. Tell us about the approach when you enquire, floor, steps, slope and distance from the loading point, and the crew size and hours in your written quote are planned for the real carry rather than discovered on the morning.
Not always. Raynes Park’s RPC zone operates for one hour a day, 11am to 12 noon, and a move genuinely contained outside that window may need no suspension on that street. The honest caution is that zone boundaries can run down the middle of a road and zone hours vary street by street, so the position for your exact address is checked at quote stage and confirmed in your written quote, never assumed from the area’s reputation.
Yes. Crew time is the bill, and a house packed, labelled and staged when we arrive loads faster than one we pack as we go, which matters in a town-centre flat where the hours run inside a booked lift slot. Materials are priced in the open: boxes £5 each, protective wrap £15, tape £10 per roll, and you only buy what you use. If you would rather we packed the fragile pieces, say so when you book and that time is in the written quote as a booked extra.
£5 per floor where the carry is by stairs, counted at each address where the crew carries by stairs, and stated in your written quote before the day. Lift-served floors are not charged. The charge is per floor, not per item and not per trip. Garden steps and stepped approaches, common in the Village and Wimbledon Park, are part of the carry the quote asks about, even though they are not a floor.
Yes, as transport. You book a unit in your own name with the operator of your choice; we collect, load and stack it properly, and redeliver when the new address is ready. The transport runs on the same hourly card, and the unit’s rent and terms stay between you and the operator. We do not operate a storage facility.
Not for disposal. We are not a licensed waste carrier, so we cannot take household items away to be disposed of or recycled. What we can do on the day is carry pieces to a charity you name, if it has agreed to accept them, or to a storage unit you have booked in your own name. Anything for disposal goes through Merton Council’s bulky item collection or a registered waste carrier you appoint, and you can check any carrier free on the Environment Agency public register before you appoint one.
There is no deposit to book. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the move; inside 24 hours, a cancellation charge of up to 25 percent of the quoted price applies. Every quote is given in writing and is valid for 7 days. Payment is at the time of service.
Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing.
