Family-run since 2011, based in Mitcham, just down the road. Eight branded yellow vans, fully insured team. Rated 4.9+ from over 8,000 reviews across TrustATrader, Google and Trustpilot.
If you're moving home in Clapham and the thought of packing your kitchen, your books and the cupboard full of stuff you've forgotten about 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 Clapham residents for over a decade. From the converted Victorian terraces of Abbeville Road, to the period homes around the Common, to the modern flats by Clapham Junction — we know SW4 inside out.
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. Any company giving you a flat price without seeing the job is either guessing or planning to add things on.
You do the packing, we shift everything.
*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.
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, about a 15-minute drive from Clapham Common. When you ring us, we can often be with you the same day — no driving in from miles away.
Whatever the size of your move, from an Old Town one-bed to a Northcote Road townhouse, we've got the right vehicle.
We started in 2011 and have been at it ever since. Most of our team have been with us for years — experienced movers, not someone on their second-ever job.
The person who quotes you is usually on the day of the move. If something goes wrong, you don't get passed around a call centre.
Not a number we made up. Thousands of happy customers across South London.
Goods in transit and public liability. Happy to send the certificates over.
Friends, neighbours, family of past customers.
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 Clapham and neighbouring streets:
If you're in or near SW4, ring us — we cover it all.
A lot of Clapham housing stock is Victorian terraces converted into flats. Narrow staircases, tight landings, and quirky access are common. We've moved hundreds of these — send us photos when you quote and we'll flag anything tricky in advance.
The bigger period homes around Clapham Common often have garden access at the back which can make loading easier — or much harder if there's no rear access. We'll talk you through both ends when we quote.
End of the month is busiest. Midweek moves are cheaper and less rushed.
★★★★★ "Moved us from a Clapham North conversion to a house in SW12. Lovely team, careful with everything, brilliant value."
