If you're moving home in Battersea and the thought of packing your kitchen, your wardrobes and that storage cupboard you've been ignoring is giving you the fear — we can take the whole lot off your hands.
We're The Yellow Van Company. We're a family-run removals firm based in Mitcham, and we've been moving people in and out of Battersea for over a decade. From the new builds around Battersea Park and the Power Station, to the Victorian terraces of Lavender Hill, to the riverside developments in Nine Elms — we know SW8 and SW11 like the back of our hand.
If you'd rather pack yourself and just need the muscle, we do moving-only jobs too — see prices below.
It depends what you need — and any company giving you a flat price without seeing the job is either guessing or planning to add things on later.
You do the packing, we shift everything. Lower cost if you've got the time and don't mind doing it yourself.
*Prices shown are guide estimates for local moves — every move is different, so your final quote will depend on the specifics of your job. Longer distances quoted on request.
We do the lot — materials, packing, loading, transport, unloading, unpacking, and we take all the empty boxes away. The least amount of work you can possibly do on moving day.
Ring us for a five-minute ballpark, then a firm written quote after a short video call or visit. No deposits required to hold a date in most cases.
Our base is in Mitcham, a quick run down the A24 or across the river via Wandsworth Bridge. When you ring us at half nine on a Saturday morning panicking about your move, we can be with you the same day where possible. No driving down from somewhere off the M25.
We run a fleet of eight branded yellow vans in different sizes. You'll see us coming. Whatever the size of your move, from a Nine Elms one-bed to a Lavender Hill townhouse, we've got the right vehicle.
We started The Yellow Van Company in 2011 and have been at it ever since. Most of our team have been with us for years — when you book us, you get experienced movers, not someone on their second-ever job.
The person who quotes you is usually one of the people on the day of the move. If something goes wrong, you don't get passed around a call centre — you ring us and we sort it.
Not a number we made up — go and check. It's the result of thousands of London moves and being happy enough to take the time to say so.
for your belongings in transit and in our care. Boring but important — happy to email the certificates over if you'd like to see them.
Friends, neighbours, family of past customers. That's probably more useful than anything we could write about ourselves.
A day or two before the move we drop off boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper and tape. On the day we turn up early and pack room by room. Fragile items are wrapped properly — plates upright in dish-pack boxes, glasses individually, pictures and mirrors blanket-wrapped, mattress in a fitted bag. Anything valuable (art, piano, instruments) just tell us at quote stage and we'll bring the right kit.
Everything gets labelled by room so it ends up where it should. We load carefully (heavier on the bottom, blankets between furniture), drive to your new home, and unload room by room. Any furniture we dismantled (beds, wardrobes, dining tables) goes back together at the other end.
When you're settled, we take all the empty boxes and packing materials away with us. No hallway full of cardboard for a month.
We work across the whole of Battersea and its neighbouring areas:
If you're somewhere in SW8 or SW11 we haven't named, ring us. We cover the whole borough.
The Lavender Hill terraces have narrow staircases and tight landings. Big wardrobes, three-seater sofas and king beds can struggle. We've moved hundreds of these — send us photos when you ask for a quote and we'll flag anything tricky in advance.
End of the month is the busiest period for everyone, especially Fridays. If you can do midweek, you'll get a less rushed service and a better price.
