Whether you are looking for a smaller complete removal or just moving bulky items from A to B, our experienced uniformed crews will work until the job is completed.

All moves with Big Red can be covered with liability insurance. Each vehicle comes equipped with transit blankets, sofa covers, ties, a skate and a full tool kit. All of our vehicles are satellite tracked, so we know where they are at all times.
All our staff can dismantle/assemble normal furniture, disconnect/connect appliances when applicable and remove doors/windows. With the hourly Man and Van rate, crews have the flexibility to do any last minute packing, additional pick ups, trips to recycling, sofas through windows, etc. We are also able to provide a house clearance service, taking items to charity shops or recycling.
Whatever other stresses you have with your move, you can rely on Big Red to ensure that, from start to finish, the removal process is not one of them. Call the SW17 Man and Van specialists now on 0207 228 7651.
Parking SW17

The suspension has to be booked up to 14 working days in advance of the required date. These are booked with your local council online.

A Little Bit About SW17
The SW postcode district was originally created as part of the London Postal District in 1857. In 1868 some of the areas of the abolished S district were added. The postal district of SW17 covers Tooting and parts of Mitcham. The local authorities covering these areas are Wandsworth and Merton.
Tooting is just one stop from Balham and it is fast seeing the same gentrification of its Northern Line neighbour. Bustling and eclectic with attractive period architecture and fast transport links, Tooting is split into three main areas – busy, multicultural Tooting Broadway, the quieter and generally more desirable Tooting Bec, and the family dominated Furzedown with its good schools.
The toponym “Mitcham” is Old English in origin and believed to mean big settlement. Before the Romans and Saxons were present, there was a Celtic settlement in the area, with evidence of a hill fort in the Pollards Hill area. The Saxon graveyard, located on the North bank of the Wandle is the largest discovered to date, and many of the finds are on display in the British Museum. The area is a possible location for the Battle of Merton, 871, in which King Ethelred of Wessex was either mortally wounded or killed outright.
