HOUSE REMOVALS · MERTON

House Removals in Merton

Most of Merton is not Wimbledon. Beyond the borough’s famous north-west corner, this is a borough of Mitcham semis around the common, Morden’s family streets, the between-the-wars cottage estate at St Helier, Colliers Wood along the Wandle and the semis of Raynes Park and West Barnes, one council, one published rate card, and house moves that are planned street by street. This page covers the whole borough; Wimbledon itself is summarised here and covered in depth on its own pages.

Every move is confirmed in a written, itemised quote before you book. Our hours are Monday to Friday 7am–8pm, Saturday 8am–6pm and Sunday 9am–4pm. The borough-wide picture, the Wandle corridor, stations and parking, sits on our removals in Merton page.

Quick answer

House removals in Merton are charged by the hour on our published card: 2 Men £85 and 3 Men £100 an hour, Driver Help £70, with a two-hour minimum, so a typical two-bed house totals £340 to £510 and a three-bed £500 to £700. The borough's houses are Mitcham semis around the common, St Helier cottage-estate homes in Morden, Colliers Wood terraces along the Wandle and Raynes Park semis, and most moves turn on the loading point: a driveway, an estate road, or a bay that needs a Merton suspension applied for ten full working days ahead.

Minimum booking: 2 hours
Who it is for: Semis, terraces and cottage-estate houses
Where: Mitcham, Morden, Colliers Wood, Raynes Park
Terms: No deposit; free cancellation to 24 hours

Four kinds of house move

The houses we move in Merton

Mitcham: semis, the common and the town centre

Mitcham mixes terraces and semis around the common and the cricket green, garden-suburb streets, and estate roads where the van loads from a parking court or a confirmed point rather than outside the door. Most houses load straightforwardly; the town centre is the controlled-parking end of Mitcham, and a house there is planned like a town-centre move, with the loading point confirmed before the day.

Morden and the St Helier estate

St Helier was built as a cottage estate between the wars, houses in short terraces and semis, many reached from estate roads and parking courts, so the carry from the van can be longer than the street view suggests. Morden itself adds the Northern line terminus, town-centre streets and the family semis of Lower Morden, which load from their own driveways. Downsizing moves are a regular shape here, with one household splitting between the new home, family and storage.

Colliers Wood and Raynes Park

Colliers Wood’s houses sit along the Wandle among the mills and the newer blocks, terraces and semis on streets where the loading point matters more than the carry. Raynes Park and West Barnes are the borough’s classic semi suburbs: driveways, garages and boarded lofts, where the day is sized by volume, the loft, the garage and the garden store counted alongside the rooms.

Wimbledon: in summary

Wimbledon’s houses, the Village, the town centre, the Park and the South Wimbledon streets, have their own dedicated page, because a Wimbledon move has its own shape: the hill, the controlled zones and the Championships weeks. If your move is in Wimbledon itself, go straight to house removals in Wimbledon; everything on this page, the rates, the terms, the one written quote, applies there in exactly the same way.

Charged per hour, 2-hour minimum booking

The two-man crew carries most Merton semis and cottage-estate houses; the three-man crew earns its rate on the larger family homes and anywhere the loft and garage are full. Driver Help suits a part-move, the garage only, one room, the heavy pieces, where the driver loads and carries.

These hourly rates are for house-to-house removals within London: every hour is charged at the same published rate, £85 an hour for a two-man Luton crew, the same rate from the first hour to the last. Office and commercial moves are priced in a written quote.

Your exact price is confirmed in a written quote once we know the access at both addresses.

What the card means in total

Merton house moves sit in the middle rows: two and three-bed semis and cottage-estate houses, with the loft, the garage and the garden store counted in the hours. The crews are rated 5.0 on Google.

Property size	Typical crew and hours	Typical total
Studio	Driver Help, 2 hours (the minimum booking)	from £140
1-bed home	2 Men, 2 to 3 hours	£170 to £255
2-bed home	2 Men, 4 to 6 hours	£340 to £510
3-bed home	3 Men, 5 to 7 hours	£500 to £700
4-bed and larger	3 Men, 6 to 8 hours	£600 to £800

Basis: the published hourly card (Driver Help £70, 2 Men £85, 3 Men £100 an hour, two-hour minimum), checked October 2026. Totals are illustrations from the stated crew hours; your written quote confirms the total for your move.

Volume and timing

How long a Merton house move takes, and what stretches it

2-bed terrace or cottage-estate house: typically 4–6 hours including travel within the borough
3-bed semi: most of a day, typically 6–8 hours once the loft and garage are counted
The estate-road carry: on St Helier and the Mitcham estates, a parking-court loading point adds a longer walk to every trip, priced in at quote stage, not discovered on the day
Split moves: downsizing households dividing between a new home, family and storage are planned as one job with each part named in the quote

To make the rates concrete, here is an illustration (not a quote): a three-bed semi in Mitcham, packed and ready, on the three-man crew , five hours at £100 an hour comes to £500 for the crew. Your written quote replaces the illustration with your exact figures, including any council parking charge at either end.

Packing follows the same logic: a full pack of the whole house, or a part pack of the kitchen and fragile contents, agreed in your quote with materials at published prices, boxes £5 each, wrap £15, tape £10 a roll, and the outbuildings packed as their own groups. Merton’s local packing page is published under the Wimbledon town name: packing services in Wimbledon.

Parking, explained

Parking in Merton: one council, one deadline, a patchwork of zones

The deadline that sets the diary: Merton asks for applications for a parking bay suspension or a yellow line waiver to be in at least ten full working days before the day you need them. Miss it and the move date, not the paperwork, has to give.

The charges are the same across the borough. A bay suspension carries a £36.75 admin fee per application, £36.75 for the first day per bay and £40 per bay per day after that, 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. What varies is the zones: the letters and hours differ street by street, the Wimbledon-side zones are only one example, so what your two streets need is confirmed at quote stage. Many estate streets and parking courts in Mitcham and Morden sit outside the zones and need nothing at all.

These are the council’s charges, you apply and pay Merton Council directly, never through us, and we supply the vehicle registrations and confirm the bay count at quote stage.

Council charges checked against the council’s published pages in October 2026.

Booking terms: how your quote works

Your quote is confirmed in writing, with the scope itemised: crew size, vehicle, what is dismantled or packed, and parking. The price includes loading, unloading, carrying and protecting your furniture in transit, plus dismantling and reassembly where that is booked in advance. Packing and packing materials are not included unless they are booked and listed on your quote.

There is no deposit to book. Your quote is valid for 7 days. You can cancel without charge up to 24 hours before your move; cancellation within 24 hours of the move may incur a charge of up to 25% of the quoted price. Payment is taken at the time of service. Two things can change a price after booking: the move running beyond the hours in the quote, charged at your crew’s hourly rate as shown at booking, and council parking charges, which you apply for and pay the council directly as set out above.

Questions and answers

House Removals in Merton: FAQs

How much do house removals cost in Merton?

House crews are charged by the hour on our published card: 2 Men £85 an hour; 3 Men £100 an hour; Driver Help £70 an hour for smaller houses and part-moves, with a two-hour minimum booking and £5 for each floor where the carry is by stairs. As an illustration, a three-bed semi in Mitcham, packed and ready, on the three-man crew over five hours comes to £500 for the crew. Your exact price is confirmed in a written quote once we know the volume, loft and garage included, and the loading at both addresses.

Do we need a parking suspension for a house move in Merton, and what does it cost?

It depends on the street. Where the van has to wait in a bay on a controlled-parking street, usually yes: a Merton bay suspension carries a £36.75 admin fee plus £36.75 for the first day per bay, then £40 per bay per day after that: 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. Applications need at least ten full working days’ notice, and the zone letters and hours vary across the borough, so what your two streets need is confirmed at quote stage. Many estate streets and parking courts in Mitcham and Morden sit outside the zones and need nothing at all.

We are moving on the St Helier estate. What should we plan for?

St Helier was built as a cottage estate between the wars, and its houses still work that way: short terraces and semis, many reached from estate roads and parking courts rather than directly from a through street. The carry from the van can be longer than the street view suggests, so name the loading point (court, estate road or driveway) when you enquire. The houses themselves are conventional two-storey carries; it is the approach that sets the day.

We are moving in Mitcham, near the common. How is that planned?

Usually around the street rather than the house. Mitcham mixes semis and terraces around the common and the cricket green, garden-suburb streets, and estate roads where the van loads from a parking court or a confirmed point on the estate. The town centre is the controlled-parking end of Mitcham, so a house there is planned more like a town-centre move. Tell us the street and where the van can stand, and the quote is built on that loading point.

We are moving in Wimbledon itself. Should we use this page or the Wimbledon one?

Start with the Wimbledon pages. Wimbledon has its own dedicated house removals page that goes into the Village, the town centre and the Raynes Park streets in the depth a Wimbledon move needs. This page covers the whole borough, Mitcham, Morden, Colliers Wood and the rest of Merton, and the two sit together: same council, same published rates, same written quote.

Do you pack, and what do materials cost?

Yes: a full pack of the whole house, or a part pack of the kitchen and fragile contents, agreed and itemised in your written quote. Materials are charged at published prices: boxes £5 each, wrap £15, tape £10 a roll. In Merton’s semi and cottage-estate streets the packing list usually runs beyond the rooms: loft, garage and garden store are packed as their own groups so tools and stored items stay together.

Can part of the house go into storage?

Yes, as transport. Downsizing moves on St Helier and in Lower Morden often split three ways: the new home, family, and a storage unit. We do not run or arrange a storage facility: you book the unit in your own name with the operator you choose, and we transport the storage part, load and stack the unit, and collect and redeliver when you are ready. The unit contract and its rent stay between you and the operator; the transport is set out in the same written quote as the move.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing.

What is included in the price, and what is not?

The crew’s time covers loading, unloading and carrying at both addresses, furniture protection in transit, and the journey between them. Dismantling and reassembly are included where your written quote lists them; packing is included only where it is booked and listed, with materials at the published prices. Council parking charges, where an arrangement is needed, are paid by you to the council directly and are never marked up by us. If anything you expect is not listed on the quote, ask before you book.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as your date is fixed. The parking sets the floor in Merton: a suspension or waiver needs ten full working days’ notice, so the practical order is quote first, then parking, then the date is safe. Your written quote is valid for 7 days. If neither address needs parking arranged, shorter notice is often workable, especially midweek; ask and we will tell you honestly.

Is a deposit needed, and when do we pay?

There is no deposit to book, and payment is taken at the time of service. Your quote is valid for 7 days from the date it is issued. You can cancel without charge up to 24 hours before the move; cancellation within 24 hours may incur a charge of up to 25% of the quoted price.
