REMOVALS · WIMBLEDON, LONDON BOROUGH OF MERTON
Wimbledon is not one moving job. A period house up in the Village, a flat in a mansion block by the station, an Apostles terrace in Raynes Park and a garden-suburb house in Merton Park share a name, and almost nothing else: different streets, different parking zones, different carries. Vano Removals works across all of it, and this page is the starting point: our published hourly rates, how parking actually works in the London Borough of Merton, and each Wimbledon service in one place.
Every move is confirmed in a written, itemised quote before you book, with the crew size, the vehicle and the scope in writing. Our hours are Monday to Friday 7am–8pm, Saturday 8am–6pm and Sunday 9am–4pm. If you are comparing removal companies in Wimbledon, compare the specifics: the rates below, the council fees on this page, and whether a quote names the crew. Those are the numbers that decide what you actually pay.
START YOUR ENQUIRY
Enter the key details so we can review your moving enquiry.
Hire a van for the day, carry everything yourself and drive it yourself. In Wimbledon the catch is the same as for a booked crew: on a controlled street the hire van needs the parking arranged too, two suspended bays for one day cost £110.25 in Merton Council charges, and the application needs ten full working days of notice, among the longest lead times we work to anywhere in London. The cheap option only works if the date is planned early.
A booked crew does the carrying, the driving and the placing, including the long carries from set-back Village plots and the several floors of a Wimbledon Park house. On our published card a typical two-bed Wimbledon move totals £340 to £510 and a three-bed £500 to £700, and the parking at both addresses is planned before the day.
Send both postcodes and a room-by-room list and the quote comes back in writing, valid for 7 days, with the crew, the vehicle and the hours settled before you commit. In Wimbledon the quote stage is also where the parking clock starts: ten full working days of notice, and more room still during The Championships, means the quote is what protects the date.
Quick answer
Removals in Wimbledon run on our published hourly card: Driver Help £70, 2 Men £85 and 3 Men £100 an hour, two-hour minimum, so a typical two-bed move totals £340 to £510 including loading, unloading and carrying. No deposit to book, and free cancellation up to 24 hours before the move. The Wimbledon difference is parking: most streets sit in Merton controlled parking zones, a two-bay suspension for one day costs £110.25 in council charges, and the application needs ten full working days of notice, so the parking is settled at quote stage, not on the morning.
The area
“Wimbledon” on an enquiry can mean four quite different jobs. This is the split that shapes every quote we write here:
The period and detached houses on the hill above the town centre: 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 here; the carry is. Loading positions are tight, Wimbledon Hill Road stands between the Village and everywhere else, and the parking plan is agreed before the date is.
Mansion blocks and modern flat developments around the station and along the Broadway. Moves here run on booked lifts, managing-agent rules and agreed move windows, and most blocks have no loading bay of their own, so the van loads from the street and a Merton suspension is usually the plan. The town centre also carries the borough’s densest controlled parking.
The residential south-west: the Apostles’ grid of tree-named terraces and the conversions along Haydons Road, with 1930s semis and maisonettes around them. Streets are residential and completely parked up, so the loading point is a decision, not an assumption. Raynes Park’s controlled-parking window is a single hour a day, which the parking section below explains.
Substantial Edwardian houses in Wimbledon Park: big rooms, wide stairs, several floors of furniture, and the Arts-and-Crafts garden-suburb streets of the John Innes conservation area in Merton Park, with Wimbledon Chase semis beyond. Generous houses on characterful streets, with very little spare parking on any of them: house-sized moves, planned like house moves.

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.
Wimbledon spans the whole table: mansion-block flats and South Wimbledon maisonettes price off the first rows, the Apostles and Merton Park family 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.
| 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.
What we do
Whole-house moves are the core Wimbledon job: two and three-man crews, a Luton van with a tail lift, furniture protected in transit, and dismantling and reassembly where your quote agrees it. Our house removals in Wimbledon page carries the full detail: the property types, realistic timings, a worked example, and the complete fee-by-fee Merton parking breakdown.
For flats near the station, single items, part-moves and storage runs, the hourly man and van service is usually the right size of help: Driver Help, or a two or three-man crew, on the same published card. See man and van in Wimbledon for how the service fits the area’s smaller moves.
Completion dates that do not line up, a downsize out of a Village or Wimbledon Park house, or a declutter before a sale: storage bridges the gap. You book the unit in your own name with the operator you choose; we handle the transport, loading and stacking at both ends, priced in the same written quote as the move. See storage solutions in Wimbledon for what to confirm before you book.
Full or part packing, agreed and itemised in your written quote, with materials at published prices. Period houses with a lot of rooms, and flats where a booked lift slot leaves no slack, are the usual Wimbledon reasons to book it. See packing services in Wimbledon.
Moving an office, or leaving London altogether? Those run as separate services: office removals and long-distance moves, priced per job in a written quote on the same basis.
Property and access
Postcodes do not decide how a Wimbledon move goes: access does. The patterns we plan around most often:
Parking and access
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. If your street is in a zone, a removal van cannot simply wait in a bay all morning. Parking is the first planning question of a Wimbledon move, not an afterthought.
The deadline that sets the diary: ten full working days. Merton requires 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: among the longest lead times we work to anywhere 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.
What it costs. A suspension carries a £36.75 admin fee per application, plus £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 van needs about two: 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. These are the council’s charges; you apply and pay Merton directly. One caution from experience: changing the paperwork after it has been issued costs another £36.75, so the vehicle details are worth getting right first time. We supply the registrations and confirm the bay count at quote stage.
The patchwork. Zone hours vary more in Wimbledon than almost anywhere we work. 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. At the other end of the scale, the Village’s VSW1 zone runs for a few hours on weekdays, and Raynes Park’s RPC zone operates for one hour a day, 11am to 12 noon; a move genuinely contained outside a short window may need no suspension on that street. That is checked street by street at quote stage and confirmed in your quote, never assumed: a zone boundary can run down the middle of a road.
The Championships. 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 pressure across the area peaks for the year. If your move falls in that window, apply earlier than the standard ten working days and tell us the date when you enquire. The full fee-by-fee breakdown, including what happens if a car is sitting in your suspended bay, is on our house removals in Wimbledon page.
Content updated October 2026. Official sources for this page: Merton Council (parking bay suspensions and yellow line waivers: charges, the ten-full-working-day application deadline and the application route; controlled parking zone hours) and Transport for London (red routes). Council charges checked against the council’s published pages in October 2026.
No deposit to book. Your quote is valid for 7 days, and 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. Payment is taken at the time of service. If the move runs beyond the quoted hours, the extra time is charged at your crew’s hourly rate as shown at booking. Loading, unloading and carrying are included, plus dismantling and reassembly where booked in advance. Packing and packing materials are not included unless booked and listed on your quote. Council parking charges, where a suspension or dispensation is needed, are the council’s: you apply and pay the council directly.
Near the station
A lot of Wimbledon moves are described by their station rather than their street. Each station area has its own dedicated page, with the local streets, property types and access worked through in detail:
The town-centre station quarter and the Broadway: the mansion blocks, the developments and the busiest parking in the borough. Removals near Wimbledon station
The District line station serving the Edwardian streets of Wimbledon Park, between the park itself and Southfields-side roads. Removals near Wimbledon Park station
The Northern line station for South Wimbledon: the terraces, conversions and maisonettes running out along Haydons Road and Merton High Street. Removals near South Wimbledon station
The comparison
| Point of comparison | The typical way | With Vano Removals |
|---|---|---|
| Who carries | You do, with a self-loading service; a platform sends whichever team it assigns | Our own crew carries, loads and places everything |
| Deposit to book | Common: a deposit or the first hour taken upfront | None; nothing is paid until the service is done |
| Free cancellation | 48 hours ahead at the largest services | Up to 24 hours before the move |
| Price confirmed before the day | An hourly rate, with the total left to the day itself | A written quote with the total, valid for 7 days |
| Who turns up | The driver or team the platform assigns | The firm you booked and spoke to |

Questions and answers
Crews are charged by the hour on our published card: Driver Help £70 an hour; 2 Men £85 an hour; 3 Men £100 an hour, with a two-hour minimum booking, plus £5 for each floor where the carry is by stairs. In total, a typical two-bed Wimbledon home comes to £340 to £510 on those rates and a three-bed to £500 to £700. Most Wimbledon family houses book the two or three-man crew. Council parking charges, where a suspension or waiver is needed, are on top at cost: you apply and pay Merton Council directly. Your exact price is confirmed in a written quote once we know the volume and the access at both addresses.
Usually, yes. Most of Wimbledon sits inside one of Merton’s 40-plus controlled parking zones, and in a CPZ street the van cannot wait in a bay all morning without one. A bay suspension costs a £36.75 admin fee plus £36.75 for the first day per bay; where there is no bay to suspend, a yellow line waiver at £36.75 per vehicle per day is the alternative. Some short-window zones can occasionally be timed around instead, checked street by street at quote stage, never assumed.
You do, as the householder, online to Merton Council; the council takes card payment as part of the application. The charges are a £36.75 admin fee per application, £36.75 for the first day per bay and £40 per bay per day after that, so the two bays a Luton needs for one day come to £110.25 all-in. We supply the vehicle registrations and confirm the bay count at quote stage, before the application goes in: changing the paperwork afterwards costs another £36.75.
Work backwards from the parking. Merton Council needs applications for a suspension or waiver at least ten full working days ahead, among the longest lead times we work to anywhere in London, so the practical order is: written quote first, parking application second, and only then is the date truly fixed. If neither address needs parking arranged, shorter notice is often workable; ask and we will tell you honestly.
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 pressure across Wimbledon peaks for the year. Book earlier than usual, apply for the suspension earlier than the standard ten full working days, and allow more time in the day for traffic around the tournament. Tell us the date when you enquire and the plan is built around the fortnight.
Yes: full packing for the whole property, or part packing for the rooms you least want to tackle, such as the kitchen and the fragile items. Materials are at published prices: boxes £5 each, wrap £15 and tape £10 a roll, and the packing labour is priced in your written quote. Packing is not included in a move unless it is booked and listed on your quote, so name the rooms you want covered when you enquire.
Yes, as transport. We do not run or arrange a storage facility: you book a unit in your own name with the operator you choose, and we collect from your address, transport the load, 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; our part, the transport at both ends, is set out in the same written quote as the move itself. A gap between addresses is one of the most common shapes of a Wimbledon move, especially in a chain.
Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing.
Both. Wimbledon’s houses get the headlines, but a large share of the work here is smaller: flats in the mansion blocks and developments near the station, maisonettes in South Wimbledon, single items, and part-moves where only some rooms are going. Those jobs run on the man and van service, Driver Help at £70 an hour or a two-man crew, on exactly the same published card as a whole-house move.
Yes. Moves from Wimbledon to elsewhere in London run on the same published hourly card, and long-distance moves beyond London are priced per job in the same written quote. Parking rules apply at the destination just as they do here, so give us the full address when you enquire and both ends are planned together.
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.
All of it: Wimbledon Village, the town centre and the Broadway, South Wimbledon, Raynes Park, Wimbledon Park, Merton Park and Wimbledon Chase, plus moves into and out of Wimbledon, elsewhere in London and further afield. Wherever the move starts, what matters is the two real addresses: the neighbourhood at each end decides the parking, the carry and the crew, which is why we ask for both postcodes when you enquire.
