Answers to Common Questions About Our House Removals and Moving Services

At Mandy’s Movers, we know that moving home or office can be a stressful time and naturally, you’ll have a few questions. To help you plan with confidence, we’ve compiled answers to the questions we get asked most often about our removal services in Sidcup, Bromley, Chislehurst, Medway, and the wider South East London area.

Do you offer removals in my area?

Yes, we provide house removals, man and van services, and packing solutions across South East London and Kent, including Sidcup, Bromley, Chislehurst, Medway, Bexley, Eltham, Welling, and surrounding areas.

How much notice do I need to give for a booking?

We recommend giving as much notice as possible, ideally two to four weeks before your move. However, we understand that things don’t always go to plan. If you’re looking for a last-minute or short-notice removal service, get in touch and we’ll do our best to help.

Do you offer packing services?

Hints & Tips

Keep us updated

We know things don't always go to plan and dates can change. We only ask that you keep us updated so if the moving date does change, that we have enough time to book you in for the adjusted moving date.

Packing

If you choose to pack yourself, ensure you have enough time. Start off as early as possible with the less important things such as seasonal clothing, house décor etc. then pack all the important things after. Make sure you keep a bag aside for essential items you need access to. If possible, keep one room free for all of your boxes to go into so they’re out of the way.

Ensure the boxes are liftable and when packing fragile items use packing paper or bubble wrap to keep them safer.

Decluttering

Moving home is a great time to sort through and throw out anything you no longer need. The less you have to pack the easier the task will be. This will in turn reduce unwanted clutter in your new home.

Mark where boxes are to go

Label bedrooms and boxes accordingly so we can place the boxes in the correct area. For example, label bedroom 2 on the box and once arrived at the new house, use a post it notes to label the room accordingly.

Take furniture apart

We have all the tools and skills to take apart beds, wardrobes and other furniture that needs dismantling, however, this can be time consuming so if you are really prepared this would allow the move to go as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

Parking

If you don’t have a driveway for us to park on, please ensure that the closest possible space is kept by using cones, wheelie bins, your cars etc. to provide us with the best access possible to load our vehicles up. Ensuring we can park close speeds the move up and reduces any risks.

Relax!

We know the move can be stressful on the big day, but try not to stress as you’re in good hands with Mandy’s Movers. Our guys are professional, friendly, and most importantly, amazing at what they do.

We're members of Move Assured, an organisation that specialises in promoting professional independent removal companies.
