Flat moves are a different kind of move. Stairs that twist back on themselves. Doorways that turn a sofa into a puzzle. Communal entrances with restricted parking and lift bookings that need agreeing in advance. They're the kind of jobs where a careful, experienced team makes all the difference - and they're exactly the kind of moves we're built for.
S&A Removals is a Farnham-based small-moves specialist. We handle flat removals across Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire - from studios and one-bedrooms to larger flats with awkward access. Honest quotes, careful handling, and the same friendly faces from your first call to the final box.
Who Our Flat Moves Are For
Flat removals are one of the most common services we provide. They suit:
First-time movers leaving a parents' home for their own place.
Tenants moving between rented flats locally or across the wider region.
Owner-occupiers selling a flat and moving on.
Couples moving in together from two separate flats.
Renters relocating for a new job across Surrey, Hampshire or Berkshire.
Students and young professionals moving out of shared accommodation.
Anyone with a flat-sized move who wants a personal, careful service without the cost of a big-firm quote.
If your move feels too small for the big removal companies but bigger than what you could handle with a borrowed van and a couple of friends, you're in the right place.
What's Included
Every flat move with S&A Removals includes:
All lifting, loading and unloading by our friendly two-person team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle flat moves with multiple flights of stairs?
Yes - stairs are part of the day's work for us. Just let us know the floor number at both ends in advance so we can plan timings carefully.
Do you work with lift-access blocks?
Yes. Many blocks require lifts to be booked in advance for moves. If you've already booked a slot, let us know the timing; if you haven't, we'll plan the day around what your building requires.
Can you help on the same day as my tenancy ends?
Yes. End-of-tenancy moves are very common for us. Let us know your handover times and we'll plan timings to fit - including coordinating with cleaners or check-ins where helpful.
Will you dismantle a bed or wardrobe to get it through a narrow doorway?
We can help with reasonable disassembly and reassembly of standard furniture. Just let us know in advance so we can bring the right tools and allow the time.
How far in advance should I book my flat move?
One to two weeks' notice is usually ideal, especially for weekend or end-of-month slots when demand is highest. We'll always do our best to accommodate shorter notice where possible.
Are you insured for flat removals?
Yes, we're fully insured throughout every move, so your belongings are covered from start to finish.
Will I lose my deposit if walls or doors get damaged during the move?
We take real care with communal areas, doorframes and walls because we know how important that is to your deposit. We move carefully, use protection where needed, and treat shared hallways with respect.
How much does a flat move cost?
Every move is different, so we don't publish fixed prices. Costs depend on the size of the move, the distance, access at both ends (floor number, lift availability, parking) and the date. Quotes are always free, honest and clear - just get in touch with the details.
