Since 2011
From Georgian houses on Richmond Hill to Victorian terraces in Twickenham and riverside flats in Teddington, Richmond moves vary as much as the borough itself.
Richmond upon Thames is the only London borough on both banks of the Thames, and its housing is a mix of period family houses, mansion blocks and newer riverside apartments, with flats making up 40% of homes. Much of the borough is covered by controlled parking, and our parking guide advises allowing at least ten working days to suspend a bay. We check access at both addresses during the free survey, help with any suspension and building bookings, and plan the team and vehicle around the property.

Our services
Home removals, office relocation, or man and van, each planned around your specific property, access, and requirements across Richmond upon Thames.
Richmond's housing mix means no two home moves are the same. A Georgian house on Richmond Hill with a long front path, an Edwardian family home in East Sheen with a loft, and a riverside apartment in Teddington with a goods lift each need a different plan, team and vehicle. We assess all of it before moving day.
Full packing and unpacking, or fragile-only if preferred
Furniture dismantling and reassembly at both ends
Professional wrapping and protection for all items
Fully insured, fixed-price quotes, no hidden extras

About the borough
For families, the borough has more open space than almost anywhere in London. Richmond Park, the largest of London's Royal Parks, sits alongside Bushy Park, Kew Gardens (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Old Deer Park and long stretches of the Thames Path. Barnes has the London Wetland Centre, and Hampton Court Palace sits on the borough's south-western edge.
Transport links are good across the borough. The District line and the London Overground run to Richmond and Kew Gardens, and South Western Railway serves stations from Barnes and Mortlake through Richmond, St Margarets and Twickenham to Teddington, Hampton and Whitton. By road, the A316 and the South Circular (A205) carry most traffic into central London and towards the M3.
Those main roads matter on moving day. The A316 and the South Circular are red routes, where stopping is restricted, and Hammersmith Bridge has been closed to motor vehicles since 2019, which adds time to moves between Barnes and the north of the river. Match days at Twickenham Stadium also bring road closures and extra parking controls nearby. We plan the route, start time and loading position around all of this as standard.

Richmond town centre and Richmond Hill have some of the borough's most varied homes, from Georgian and Victorian houses and mansion blocks to flats above shops and newer apartments near the river. Streets around the town centre are busy and controlled parking covers most of them, so a suspension is usually needed. Houses on and around Richmond Hill often have steps, long front paths and tall staircases, which we plan for at the survey.
Permit bays in Richmond upon Thames need at least 10 working days' notice for a parking suspension. You can arrange it yourself, or we can apply on your behalf and add the council's fee to your quote.
Kew is mainly Victorian and Edwardian family houses on quiet, tree-lined roads, with some flats around the station and close to the river. Controlled parking operates near Kew Gardens station and on many residential streets. Visitor traffic around Kew Gardens can be heavy at weekends, so we plan arrival times with that in mind.

Twickenham has a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war houses and flats around the town centre and the riverside. Controlled parking covers the centre and the streets near the station. On match and event days at Twickenham Stadium, road closures and extra parking controls apply around the ground, so we check the fixture list before confirming a date.

St Margarets is known for its Edwardian houses and tree-lined avenues, with larger homes near the river and Marble Hill. Many streets are narrow with cars parked on both sides, so a suspension outside the property makes a real difference to how quickly the day runs. Period houses here often have tight staircases and loft rooms.

Teddington has Victorian and Edwardian terraces, family semis, and apartments by the river near Teddington Lock. The High Street and Broad Street are busy, and controlled parking covers the streets around the station. Moves into riverside developments usually need a goods lift booking and notice to building management, which we confirm before moving day.

Hampton and Hampton Hill offer family houses, including inter-war semis and larger detached homes, alongside flats near the station and the river. Access is usually easier than in central Richmond, with driveways on many roads, though homes here often have lofts, garages and garden buildings that add to the volume. The survey makes sure nothing is missed.

Whitton is mainly inter-war semis and terraced family houses, with flats around the High Street. Parking is often available on the street or on driveways, so access is generally straightforward. Moves here are usually family homes with steady volumes, well suited to a two or three-person team.

Barnes has Victorian villas, terraces and cottages, with mansion blocks and flats near the river and Castelnau. Many streets are narrow and controlled parking covers much of the area. Hammersmith Bridge is closed to motor vehicles, so moves to or from north of the river take a longer route, which we build into the timing and the quote.

East Sheen is mainly Edwardian and inter-war family houses near Richmond Park, while Mortlake has terraces and newer riverside apartments. The Upper Richmond Road (South Circular) is a busy red route, so homes along it need a side-street loading plan. Family houses here often have lofts and large garden storage, which we check at the survey.

Ham has post-war estates and family houses, including well-known modernist Span homes, while Petersham has older cottages and period houses close to Richmond Park and the river. Roads are generally quieter than in central Richmond, though some lanes in Petersham are narrow and need a smaller van or a short carry, which we assess in advance.

The minimum charge is a fixed fee that secures your team and vehicle for the time shown. If the move runs longer, extra time is charged at the hourly rate. The crew will keep you informed throughout, so there are no surprises.
If you want the fuller context before deciding, our guide to choosing a removal company in London covers fixed pricing, hourly bookings, surveys, access planning, and the questions worth asking before you confirm.
How it works
Every move follows the same four steps, so you always know what happens next.
We look at what you are moving, by video call, a home visit or a quick list, and check access and parking.
You get a fixed price in writing, with the date, the team size and the van agreed in advance.
Boxes, materials and professional packing if you want them, plus furniture dismantling.
Your team protects floors and doorways, loads with care and reassembles at the new address.
Before you move
Controlled parking zones cover a large part of the borough, including Richmond and Twickenham town centres, the streets around most stations, and much of Barnes, Kew, St Margarets and Teddington. If your street is permit-controlled, you will need a temporary parking suspension so the removal van can load directly outside your property.
Applications go through Richmond upon Thames Council. For one Maxi Mover van, we require two standard parking bays directly outside the property, and for two vans, three bays.
Two points are specific to this borough. The A316 and the South Circular are red routes, where stopping is restricted and suspensions are not available, so properties on these roads need a side-street loading plan. And Hammersmith Bridge remains closed to motor vehicles, which affects routes between Barnes and the north of the river.
A long carry distance increases both handling time and the risk to your belongings. We advise on the specific requirements for your street when you book. Full details are in our parking suspension guide.
Access varies considerably across the borough. Georgian and Victorian houses in Richmond, Barnes and St Margarets often have front steps, narrow hallways, tall staircases and basements, all manageable with the right team size and protection, but worth planning properly. Inter-war houses in Whitton, Hampton and East Sheen usually have driveways or side access, with lofts and garages adding volume that a thorough survey will catch.
Riverside apartments in Teddington, Twickenham and Mortlake bring different considerations. Goods lift bookings, lift sizes, loading bay times, building access windows and management company notice all need confirming in advance, and some buildings ask for the mover's insurance documents before granting access, which we provide as standard. We ask about all of this during the assessment and build it into the move plan.

Moving tips
We can visit your property in advance or carry out a video survey to assess the volume of your move, plan the right team and vehicle, and estimate packing materials. We will also check access, steps, staircases and parking, which matters most for period houses in Richmond and Barnes and for riverside apartments where the goods lift needs booking.
If your street is in one of Richmond's controlled parking zones, and much of Richmond, Twickenham, Barnes, Kew and Teddington is, apply for your suspension at least ten working days before your move. Late applications may not be processed in time, and a van parked at a distance slows the whole day down.
Set aside a bag with overnight essentials, toiletries, chargers, medication, keys, and basic kitchen items, before packing begins. Keep it with you on moving day so you are not searching through boxes at the end of a long day.
Mark each box with the room it belongs in and a short note of what is inside. Our team can then place boxes straight into the right rooms at your new home.
Defrost the fridge freezer at least 24 hours before moving day, drain the washing machine, and secure any loose shelves or glass panels. This prevents leaks or damage during transport and avoids delays on the morning.
Before the van leaves, walk through every room, cupboard, loft hatch, shed and garage. Family homes in East Sheen, Hampton and Whitton often have more storage than you remember on a busy day. A final walkthrough takes five minutes and saves a return trip.
