Removals for Brabazon buyers
Your removals team is just up the road
A local, family-run Bristol company, moving people since 1978. Our base and storage are 0.7 miles from Brabazon. We know the site and the streets around it like the back of our hand.
Free, no risk, no obligation





Based in Bristol

Reliable, dependable, caring. And just a stone's throw away.
You'd struggle to find a removal company closer to Brabazon than us.
Minutes, not hours. Our base is 0.7 miles away, so if anything needs sorting on the day, we're there before you've finished the phone call.
The same faces, every time. Most of our crew are employed by us, in uniform and in our own vans. They turn up when we say, look after your things as if they were their own, and fix problems instead of explaining them.
Our base and storage, round the corner
0.7 miles from Brabazon, at the MORE! site on Bolingbroke Way, Filton. Our vans start their day here.
If completion slips, we load up as planned and your things wait here until the keys are released. You don't have to rebook the move.
If the sofa won't fit, it comes here the same day while you decide what to do with it.
CCTV, individually locked units and covered loading bays, open seven days a week.

"We had a nightmare of an exchange and completion. I could only confirm the moving date the evening before, but Jay was so wonderfully adaptable. I couldn't have chosen a better removal company."
Michelle HayesWhatever the move needs, we sort it
One company for the whole job, from the first box to the last clean.

Packing
We pack the lot, just the fragile things, or nothing at all. It's your choice.

Furniture taken apart
Beds, wardrobes and tables taken apart and put back together, with the right tools.

Cleaning
Our cleaning service gets your old home ready to hand back, so you don't spend your last evening scrubbing the oven.

Insured to £15,000
£15,000 goods-in-transit cover per van, plus public liability on every job. If something is damaged, you deal with us, not an insurer.

Storage
If completion slips or something doesn't fit, your things wait safely 0.7 miles away until you're ready.

A fixed price
A free survey first, then a fixed price. Nothing extra is charged unless you've agreed to it.
One person looks after your whole move
From the first call to the last box, you deal with one named person who knows your dates, your home and your chain. You never have to explain everything twice.
Our own crew. Most of our team are employed by us, in uniform and in our own vans, not agency staff you've never met.


Why let us pack?
No weeks of living among boxes.
Cook in your own kitchen and sleep in your own bed right up to the day before. Then our packing team arrives, packs everything room by room, and the removal team moves you the next morning.
It costs less than most people expect: fragile or kitchen packing starts at £320, and a whole smaller home at £395.
Simple, transparent packing prices
Estimated pricing based on property size. All materials included. Rather pack yourself? Our free video packing guide shows you how.

The greenest move is the shortest one
Most removal vans start their day miles away. Ours start just up the road.
Fewer miles
No van driving across Bristol empty in the morning and back again at night. That means less fuel and less exhaust.
Less time in the van
A short trip means less sitting in traffic with the engine running, and more of the day spent on your move.
Recyclable packing
Our boxes and packing materials are fully recyclable, so they go back into use rather than to landfill.
Usually cheaper, too
Travel time goes into every removal price. A firm coming from further away has to charge for that drive. We don't have one, so our price is usually lower.
A tree for every Brabazon move
For every move we do at Brabazon, we pay for a tree to be planted to help offset our carbon emissions.
Help for the weeks before you move
Free to use, whether you move with us or not.

A free survey, your way
Send us a short video of your home, have us visit in person, or book a video call and walk us round on your phone. Then you get an exact price.

Painless Poll: agree a moving date
Everyone in your chain gets a link and votes on dates. You see the results as they come in. Free, and nobody needs an account.
Create a poll
A local firm since 1978. Still local today.
In the 1970s Steve Fanger, a Bristol musician, bought a van to get his band, The Vultures, to their gigs.
People kept asking him to help them move house, because he turned up when he said he would. By the summer of 1978 that had become Painless Removals. We've since moved grandparents, their children and now their grandchildren.
Who we are today
Sadly, Steve passed away in 2023. We're still independent, still Bristol-based, and still give the same service he started back in 1978.
Most of our crew are employed by us, not by an agency, and we pay above the industry average so good people stay. That's why you'll see the same faces from the survey to the last box.

Rated 4.9 out of 5 by people who've moved with us
We had a nightmare of an exchange and completion. I could only confirm the moving date the evening before, which was very stressful, but Jay was so wonderfully adaptable. I couldn't have chosen a better removal company.
Michelle HayesThey packed everything, labelled all the boxes by room, and did it in a few hours, even while we kept working. On moving day everything was back in the right room, no fuss, no damage.
James CollardWe've just had the most stressful day of our lives made insanely easy by three absolute champions. I absolutely cannot recommend them highly enough.
