At Shifters Moving, we know how stressful this can be, which is why we offer a professional apartment moving service to make your relocation smooth and stress-free. Whether you’re moving from a studio flat or a multi-bedroom apartment, our expert movers handle everything with care and efficiency.
Our team is trained to deal with the unique difficulties of apartment moving in London. From lifting heavy furniture through tight spaces to safely transporting delicate items, we ensure that your belongings reach your new home without damage. With our help, you can save time, avoid stress, and settle into your new place with ease.
What is a Domestic Removal Service?
A domestic removal service is a complete, professional ‘moving house’ service. It’s designed to help you move the entire contents of your home—from a 1-bedroom flat to a 5-bedroom house—from one property to another.
Unlike a simple ‘man and van’ service, a full domestic removal involves detailed planning, an experienced team, and the right equipment to handle all your furniture, boxes, and precious items. At Shifters Moving, we manage the entire logistical process, providing the vans, the staff, and the expertise, so you can look forward to settling into your new home without the heavy lifting.

How Does Our Domestic Removal Process Work?
We’ve refined our process to be clear, simple, and stress-free for you.
Survey & Planning: We start with a free assessment (either at your home or via video) to understand the size and specifics of your move. We’ll discuss your needs, check access, and provide a detailed, no-obligation quote.
Packing (Optional): If you choose our packing service, our expert team will arrive with all the materials to safely pack your entire home, using specialist care for fragile items like glass, art, and electronics.
Loading Day: On moving day, our team arrives on time. We carefully and methodically load all your belongings onto our clean, modern removal vans, using protective covers and securing everything for safe transport.
Safe Transport: We transport your items safely to your new property, whether it’s across London or to a new city.
Unloading & Placement: We carefully unload and place all furniture and boxes in the rooms you designate. If we dismantled any furniture (like beds or wardrobes), we will reassemble it for you, ready for your first night.
Tips for a Smooth House Move
A little preparation goes a long way. Here are our top tips for a hassle-free domestic move:
-
Book Your Mover Early: Popular dates, especially Fridays and at the end of the month, get booked up fast. Secure your moving day with us well in advance.
-
Declutter Ruthlessly: A house move is the perfect opportunity to donate, sell, or recycle items you no longer need. The less you have to move, the quicker and cheaper it will be.
-
Notify Your Utilities: Contact your utility providers (gas, electric, water), council tax, and internet provider well in advance to inform them of your moving date.
-
Pack an ‘Essentials Box’: Keep one box separate with items you’ll need on day one: the kettle, tea/coffee, mugs, chargers, basic toiletries, and important documents.
-
Clear Labelling: Label every box with its contents and, most importantly, the room it’s going to in your new home. This makes unpacking 100 times easier.
-
Arrange Parking: Check if you need to arrange a parking suspension or permit for the large removal van at both your old and new properties.
By following these tips and trusting your move to Shifters Moving, your new start will be smooth, safe, and stress-free.
