Richmond upon Thames · TW9 · TW10

Careful removals, by the river.

Home and business moves across Richmond, Kew, East Sheen and the riverside villages — surveyed properly, handled gently, and planned around the Hill, the lanes and the listed houses that make Richmond what it is. When the move goes further, we take it into Europe.

  • Fully insured
  • One careful team
  • Home, office & overseas
The view from Richmond Hill — protected, and worth the climb.

Local, and careful

  • Antiques, art & pianos wrapped and carried with care
  • Hill, riverside & mansion-block access arranged ahead
  • One team from the first survey to the last box
Moving by the river

A Richmond move is an access job as much as a lifting one.

The distance is rarely the issue here. It’s the climb up the Hill, the narrow lanes off the Green, the listed houses, the mansion-block porters and the antiques that have lived in the same room for decades. We plan for all of it before the van arrives.

How we move Richmond
  • Richmond Hill & the Terrace, planned The climb to the Terrace, the protected view and the parking restrictions along it decide where a vehicle can stand. We walk the access before the day rather than improvise it on the hill.
  • Riverside lanes and loading The cobbled riverside, the narrow lanes off the Green and the flood-aware stretches all need the right vehicle and the right window — we plan the load to suit, not to fight it.
  • Conservation & listed homes Much of Richmond and Kew is listed or in a conservation area. We protect the fabric of period houses and work within the rules, quietly and carefully.
  • Antiques and fine pieces Richmond homes carry a lot of history — art, antiques, a piano, a chandelier. These are wrapped and handled by people who do it every week, with cover confirmed in writing.
  • One team, quote to unload The people who survey and pack your home are the ones who carry the last box in. No depot handovers, no strangers finishing the job.
  • Home or business A riverside flat, a family house in East Sheen or an office off the Quadrant — the same clear plan and the same careful crew.
Where we work

Richmond’s riverside villages

Richmond isn’t one place but a string of them along the Thames — each with its own streets, houses and quirks on moving day. Here is how we read them.

Richmond & the Hill

TW9 · TW10

The town, the Green and the climb up Richmond Hill to the Terrace — Georgian townhouses, the riverside below, and the protected view that makes loading a matter of timing and care.

Kew

TW9

The village around the Gardens and Kew Green — handsome period houses on tight streets, with parking and access shaped by the conservation area and the crowds on a fine weekend.

East Sheen

SW14

Family Richmond — 1930s semis and Edwardian houses towards the park gates, roomier than the riverside but with narrow side returns and the school-run rhythm to work around.

Petersham & Ham

TW10

The quiet stretch between Richmond and the river meadows — grand houses, cottages and the lanes past Ham Common, where a large vehicle needs planning well ahead.

St Margarets

TW1

Just over the river — leafy avenues and period conversions near the station. We cover it lightly, alongside our neighbours across the water.

Mortlake & North Sheen

SW14 · TW9

The riverside stretch towards Barnes — terraces, newer developments and the brewery-side streets, handled as part of our wider Richmond patch.

On the edge of the map — towards Barnes, Teddington or the park’s far gates? Ask us and we’ll tell you plainly whether it’s our patch.

Homes we move

Richmond’s houses, and what they ask of a move

The postcode is the easy part. What shapes the day is the house — its era, its stairs, its access. Here is the range we know well.

  1. 01

    Georgian riverside townhouses

    Handsome and tall, with narrow staircases and original floors — protected, planned, and never rushed.

  2. 02

    Victorian & Edwardian village terraces

    Kew and Richmond’s period streets — tight halls, bay windows and side returns that shape the day.

  3. 03

    1930s East Sheen semis

    Roomier family homes towards the park, with garages, lofts and gardens to clear as well as rooms.

  4. 04

    Mansion blocks & apartments

    Lifts, porters and shared entrances near the town centre and the river — booked and coordinated ahead.

  5. 05

    New riverside developments

    Loading bays, concierge desks and time slots at the newer blocks — arranged before the crew arrives.

FAQ

Questions people ask us

Not covered here? Ask us directly — we answer plainly.

Which parts of Richmond do you cover?

The whole of Richmond upon Thames — the town and Richmond Hill (TW9, TW10), Kew, East Sheen (SW14), Petersham and Ham, plus Mortlake and North Sheen towards Barnes. St Margarets over the river we cover lightly, alongside our neighbours.

Can you manage a move up on Richmond Hill or in the conservation lanes?

Yes — that access is exactly what we plan for. We look at the Hill gradient, the parking along the Terrace and the narrow lanes off the Green before the day, and choose the right vehicle so nothing is improvised on moving morning.

Do you handle antiques, art and pianos?

We do, and Richmond homes carry plenty of them. Fine and fragile pieces are wrapped with proper materials and carried by people who do it every week, with cover confirmed in writing. Tell us what’s going and we’ll plan the handling around it.

How do you work out the price?

From a proper survey — in person or by video — of what’s actually moving and the access at both ends. You then get a clear written quote. We don’t give a number over the phone and hope, and we never show a price before we understand the house.

Do you move offices and businesses too?

Yes — offices and studios around the town centre, the Quadrant and the riverside, planned around your trading hours, with IT handled and reconnected and storage for anything surplus.

Do you move abroad, or only around Richmond?

Both. Alongside local removals we run planned road moves from Richmond to France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, with the customs paperwork handled for you — surveyed and packed the same way as a local job.
