At RMV Storage & Removals every job is different, but the goal is always the same: a friendly, hassle-free move with a professional service from the first box to the last piece of furniture.
This project was for Nicola, a returning customer who once again trusted our team with a full flat move, this time from North London to her new home in Southeast London.
It is a good example of how our London moving company brings together professional packing, careful furniture handling and well-planned transport, so a move across the capital feels simple for the customer.

What the Move Needed
Nicola had used RMV Storage & Removals several times before, so she already knew how we work. For this move she wanted us to take care of everything:
- Full packing of all household contents
- Dismantling and reassembly of furniture
- Efficient loading and unloading
- Safe transport across London
- Careful placement of every item in the new property
As with most London removals, timing, access and organisation decided how smoothly the day would go. We planned the move in advance so everything ran to plan on moving day.
Professional Packing From Start to Finish
The biggest part of this job was the full packing service. The whole flat needed to be packed safely, from furniture and everyday household items to personal belongings that mattered most to Nicola.
Our packing team arrived with all the professional packing materials needed. Fragile items were wrapped, boxed and labelled room by room, and larger furniture was prepared for safe handling. If you prefer to pack yourself, the same boxes and materials are available from our packing shop.
Packing is usually the most time-consuming part of a move. With a trained team doing it methodically, it was finished quickly and kept the whole move on schedule.
The biggest mistake customers make is underestimating how many belongings they have. Cupboards, wardrobes and storage areas often contain far more than expected. A quick video survey allows us to prepare a much more accurate quotation.
Furniture Dismantling and Reassembly
Several large pieces of furniture had to be taken apart before they could leave the flat. Our movers dismantled the beds, wardrobes and other bulky items so they could be carried out safely and secured in the van.
At the new property in Southeast London, the team rebuilt every piece in the right room and checked it was stable and ready to use. This matters most in flat moves, where doorways, staircases and room layouts can be very different between the old home and the new one.
Need something put together without a full move? Our handyman service covers furniture assembly on its own.
Planned Transport Across the City
Moving across London takes local experience. Traffic, parking restrictions and building access all affect how smoothly a move goes, so we planned the route and logistics for Nicola's job in advance to avoid delays and arrive on time.
Our removal vans are fully equipped for London moves and keep belongings secure on the road. Despite the distance between North and Southeast London, everything arrived in excellent condition. For smaller loads, our man and van service is often the better fit.
What a Flat Move Like This Typically Costs
Every quote depends on the size of the property, access, distance and extra services like packing. To give you a guide, these are the average quotes for flats and smaller homes from our own 2026 quote data:

A Friendly, Top-Rated Team
A big part of Nicola's feedback was how professional and approachable the team were. Moving day can be stressful, and a friendly, skilled crew makes a real difference.
Our movers worked together smoothly and kept Nicola informed at every stage, from the first box packed to settling into the new flat. That customer-first approach is why so many people recommend us and come back for their next move.
A Returning Customer
Repeat business is one of the clearest signs of good service. Nicola had used RMV Storage & Removals several times before and chose us again for this move. You can read what other customers say on Trustpilot.
In Nicola's Words
“Fantastic team at RMV. I have used them a few times now, most recently for a move from North London a few weeks ago. They packed and moved my entire flat to my new place with such care, including taking apart and reassembling furniture! Super-efficient, helpful, and friendly guys, I would highly recommend and will of course be using them again if I ever need a removal company in future.”
That is exactly what we aim for on every project: skill, professionalism and a hassle-free move.
