Streatham – A Wonderful Place to Live In
The area is a district in the London Borough of Lambeth and is 5 miles south of the central Charing Cross hub. In the 1950’s it had one of the longest and most popular shopping streets in south London and was a favoured place for entertainment-goers. However, following the rise of Croydon and Kingston the area suffered from a retail depression and saw many of its famous shops closed during the 1970’s and 80’s. Left with many empty units, high traffic congestion and a growth in crime, the Streatham High Road was voted the worst street in Britain in 2002 and has since become the focus of a number of regeneration projects. As a result, SW16 and SW17 house prices are on the rise though they do tend to remain below the current London average. The area is served by an over-ground station in zone 3 of the London transport districts and does not have its own tube station for commuters. There are nearby tube stops to be found on the Northern Line however, including Tooting Bec, Balham and Clapham South. Streatham Common is a beautiful leafy expanse in the area and is a great background to the main High Street and the old Victorian houses which line some of the leafy suburban streets.

Our Testimonials
Marco. 05Aug 2021
The moving house representatives were extra cautious handling my stuff. It was challenging to move the heavy and delicate furniture and electronics, but they showed determination to do it. Everything was safe until my final destination in SW16.
Neil Waters 08Aug 2019
I would use Moving Service's movers again. They did a fabulous job. They also charge less than the others in the Streatham area.

Lilly 08May 2019
I would say that Moving Service is the best money can buy, but it doesn't cost very much to hire them! So I guess they're the best any budget can buy in SW16.
Janet 15Apr 2019
I booked this home removal company to take care of my move from my old flat to a new, 2 bedroom home in Streatham. Even though I did not have much to move, they were considerate of what I did have. Very competent movers, will hire Moving Service again if necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
In Streatham, we start with a quick walkthrough to confirm access, parking, lift issues, and the number of rooms. Then we plan the route from your property to the vehicle and assign movers, drivers, and a packing approach that fits your timeline. On move day, our trained teams use protective blankets, straps, and corner protection to reduce risk when lifting through doorways and up stairs. We also do basic pre-load checks and keep items labelled so you're not searching for essentials once your keys are collected.
Yes - whether you're planning full house removals or a smaller man and van-style transport, we match the right workforce and vehicle size. For one-bedroom flats in Streatham, a compact team can still handle careful furniture transport with the same protective methods. If you're moving a whole home, we'll schedule enough movers to keep turnaround smooth and avoid delays. We can also add packing support, dismantling/assembly, and storage options if you need a gap between move-out and move-in.
Our removal teams use professional methods designed to prevent common moving damage. That includes blankets, mattress covers, shrink wrap, and straps for secure loading and transit. For fragile items, we use specialised packing where needed and handle high attention pieces with extra care during carry routes. When access is tight - think narrow hallways or the steps near Streatham station - our movers plan a safe lift sequence before the first item moves. We also take photos where useful so expectations are clear before loading.
You should feel confident in who's entering your home. We're fully insured, and our staff are DBS-checked and trained movers. That means experience with safe handling, clear communication, and understanding how to pack, load, and unload efficiently. Many customers also check third-party signals before booking - like Google Business Profile reviews and Trustpilot feedback - to compare reliability. If you're concerned about accountability on the day, we're happy to explain the process and confirm the team members assigned to your move.
Professional removals should always include proper cover. We provide insurance for moves, so if an accident happens during packing, lifting, loading, or unloading, you're protected. For office moves, we also manage downtime by planning the order of access and delivery - so files, desks, and equipment aren't left unsupported. If you'd like, tell us what you're relocating (furniture, electronics, boxes, or safes) and we'll recommend the best approach for risk reduction.
Pricing depends on the size of the property, the volume of items, parking/access constraints, and how much packing you want us to do. A quick survey helps us estimate the number of movers and whether you'll need stairs handling or additional time for careful furniture transport. We also consider distance and timing - weekday or weekend dates can change scheduling. If you share details like a ground-floor flat at Streatham Common or a larger house near nearby roads, we can give a clearer quote and avoid surprises.
Yes. We can pack everything for you, or pack only the items you choose. We prioritise eco-friendly options - Eco rating: 86% of packing materials and transport methods are eco-friendly and low-emission. That often includes strong recycled cardboard boxes, sensible cushioning, and reuse where appropriate. If you're aiming to reduce waste in Streatham, we can also advise what to keep and what to dispose of responsibly after delivery. Tell us your preferences and we'll build a packing plan around them.
We provide professional removals across Streatham and nearby boroughs, so you're not limited to one postcode. Common nearby destinations include: Balham (London Borough of Wandsworth), Tooting (Wandsworth), Mitcham (Merton), Clapham (Lambeth), Brixton (Lambeth), Norbury (Croydon), Thornton Heath (Croydon), Selhurst (Croydon), Balham Hill, and Furzedown. We'll confirm the route and timing based on access at both ends - especially if you're moving to higher floors.
Access planning is one of the biggest differences between a smooth move and a stressful one. We check the lift situation, stair width, turns in hallways, and any practical constraints around parking. That's especially helpful if you're near Streatham Common or moving along busier routes where loading windows matter. On the day, we keep a steady workflow: one team manages careful carries while others prepare the vehicle, protect floors, and stage items for quick unloading - so the time spent on-site is kept efficient.
Absolutely. We handle office moves and furniture transport for businesses, including desk moves, chair and filing transport, and safe relocation of packaged equipment. For office moves, we typically arrange items in a sensible sequence to reduce downtime - so your team can start work again faster. If you're relocating from a small office on a nearby main road or changing premises across the boroughs, we can coordinate the move with packing, labelling, and careful handling of bulky pieces.
Reliability comes from doing it often and doing it well. Our track record: 8100+ successful moves completed locally, supported by Over 11 years of professional removals and relocation services. We also aim for a consistent customer experience, which is why our service is Rated 4.8 stars from 299+ verified reviews. If you've been worried about staffing quality, turnaround, or whether items arrive in the same condition they left, we can share what to expect on the day and how we handle packing and loading securely.
Yes - after your move, you may have cardboard, wrapping, and protective materials to manage. We can suggest which items are suitable for reuse and which should be recycled based on what you used during packing. If you want to reduce landfill, we'll talk you through practical next steps for local disposal routes and reuse options. For specific guidance, check with your local council arrangements in Streatham and any nearby recycling services, then match them to the materials we used in your packing plan.
Customers often move between the heart of Streatham and surrounding districts across multiple boroughs. Nearby areas we frequently support include: Brixton Hill (Lambeth), Clapham Park (Lambeth), Tooting Bec (Wandsworth), Wandsworth Common (Wandsworth), West Norwood (Lambeth), West Croydon (Croydon), Selhurst (Croydon), Streatham Hill (Wandsworth/Lambeth boundary areas), and Morden (Merton). If you're not sure which team or vehicle plan fits your route, tell us the start and end addresses and we'll map the safest loading and unloading approach.
We regularly plan routes and access around well-known local points so loading stays organised. For example, we can coordinate moves involving Streatham Hill, the approach roads around Streatham Station, and roads near Streatham Common. We also plan carefully for properties close to Westwood Hill and nearby residential streets where parking can be tricky. If your home is near a landmark or you need a specific loading time window, let us know - then we can schedule the right team and equipment for a safer, faster carry.
Yes - we can move you from Chelsea SW3 and still manage the same careful process end-to-end, including packing choices, labelling, and safe transport. Before booking, we confirm access details: distance from the door to the vehicle, any steps or steep drives, and whether you'll need a permit for loading. We'll also ask about fragile items, large furniture pieces, and any storage requirements. We aim to keep things straightforward - so you'll know what's included, what day/time to expect, and which team arrives for your move.
