Removals in Virginia Water
Our dedicated Move Coordinators are here to manage every aspect of your Virginia Water move with complete peace of mind.
Virginia Water sits among the most exclusive postcodes in the United Kingdom, a Runnymede village shaped by the Wentworth Estate, the lake from which the village takes its name, and the open spaces of Windsor Great Park immediately to the north. With Heathrow within easy reach and an international resident community drawn from across the world, the area’s residential profile is unlike any other in our service area. From the Wentworth Estate’s substantial homes to the country residences set along Christchurch Road and Wellington Avenue, our team of experienced Relocation Specialists serves the international principals, families, and households who call Virginia Water home, overseeing every detail of your move from first conversation to final placement.
To begin your Virginia Water move, simply reach out to arrange a consultation with one of our qualified assessors. They will review your property and your requirements and provide a comprehensive proposal. Assessments can be conducted at your residence or via virtual consultation, whichever best suits your circumstances. We will then work through each stage, including Wentworth Estate access protocols where applicable, Runnymede Council parking permissions, and any onward documentation required for international delivery.

From Virginia Water to wherever in the world
A bespoke removals service for Virginia Water residents
Every Virginia Water move is different, and our service is designed to reflect that. With our comprehensive shipping options, experienced Coordinators, and trusted global partners, each relocation is thoughtfully designed around your home, your contents, and your preferred timeline.
Our clients in Virginia Water most often move to one of three destinations.
-
Internationally
Some are relocating internationally, whether to Monaco, the south of France, Switzerland, Singapore, or across the Atlantic to New York, Los Angeles, or Dallas.
-
Across the UK
Others are moving to a country residence in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, or the West Country, often as a more permanent UK base.
-
Another London Property
A third group is moving into prime central London, often to Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Chelsea, or a Battersea riverside development.
Whichever of these describes your move, our Relocation Specialists bring the experience and care to see it through seamlessly. Discretion is woven through everything we do, and every enquiry is handled on that basis from the initial consultation to the final delivery.

How your Virginia Water move is coordinated
Behind every Williams and Yates move sits a single Move Coordinator, your dedicated point of contact through every stage of the relocation. Whether you are working with us directly or through a household manager, private assistant, or family office, the same person remains responsible for your move from first survey to final placement, drawing on our in-house crews, climate-controlled storage, and trusted international partner network as required.
Your in-home survey
A senior member of our team will visit your Virginia Water property to conduct the initial survey, taking the time to understand the home, its contents, and the specifics of your move. Access, inventory, specialist handling, scheduling, and any liaison required with the Wentworth Estate office, gated community management, or your receiving property are all reviewed in detail. From there, your Coordinator takes on the practical arrangements, Runnymede Council parking applications, Wentworth Estate access paperwork, gate timing arrangements, and any third-party coordination, with the full move plan shared with you in advance.
Packing, transit, and storage
Packing is handled in-house by our own crews rather than outsourced, a point that matters when the contents of a Virginia Water home rarely permit anything less. Fine art, antiques, and bespoke pieces are crated to each item’s dimensions, with condition reports prepared for items where the value or fragility calls for one. Our fleet includes climate-controlled vehicles for specialist contents, and our London storage facility offers secure, climate-regulated holding for as long as is required between moves.
Delivery and placement
At the receiving property, our crews unpack and place each piece to the specification agreed with you, your household manager, or your interior designer. Packaging is cleared away, the property is left exactly as requested, and the move closes with a walk-through to confirm every detail has been handled as it should.

Moving from Virginia Water overseas and across the UK
Virginia Water generates one of the highest volumes of international relocation work we handle, particularly from the Wentworth Estate, and your Relocation Manager is here to guide each stage of that journey with precision and care. The village’s proximity to Heathrow, just nine miles by road, makes air freight a practical option for time-sensitive elements of an international move, and our international partner network ensures every element is handled with the attention a Virginia Water relocation deserves.
When your next residence is overseas, whether in France, Monaco, Switzerland, Singapore, Dubai, Qatar, Hong Kong, the USA, or Canada, we manage the complete chain: origin packing at your Virginia Water property, sea or air freight from Heathrow or the appropriate port, destination clearance, and delivery. Transfer of Residence relief is applied on entry to the receiving country where you are eligible, helping to minimise duty on your personal effects.
For those moving to a country residence in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, or the West Country, your Coordinator takes charge of both ends of the move, including any storage arrangements where a Virginia Water residence is being retained alongside the country property. For moves into central London, Mayfair, Knightsbridge, or Belgravia, the planning is equally thorough. Moves between a Virginia Water estate property and a prime London address call for the same attention to detail as any international relocation.

Local considerations for a Virginia Water move
Virginia Water sits within the Borough of Runnymede in Surrey (GU25), with Windsor Great Park immediately to the north and the village’s residential character shaped almost entirely by the Wentworth Estate and the substantial properties along the lake and Christchurch Road. The Wentworth Estate alone covers more than 1,800 acres and represents one of the largest and most prestigious private residential estates in the United Kingdom. Combined with the international resident community the estate attracts and the proximity to Heathrow Airport, moves from this part of Surrey benefit from a thoughtful, well-prepared approach.
The Wentworth Estate
The Wentworth Estate is governed by the Wentworth Estate Roads Committee, which maintains the estate’s private road network and oversees access and works arrangements within the estate. Where your home is part of Wentworth, your Move Coordinator submits access paperwork to the relevant estate authority twelve to fifteen working days ahead of the moving date, arranges vehicle passes for the loading vehicles and support crews, and confirms loading time windows that comply with the estate’s residential guidelines. The estate’s road network is private, well-maintained, and patrolled, and the experience of working within it is markedly different from a standard residential street.
Heathrow proximity and international logistics
Virginia Water’s proximity to Heathrow Airport, approximately nine miles by road and accessible in under thirty minutes off-peak, is a meaningful logistical advantage for international relocations. For time-sensitive elements of a move, particularly art, antiques, or documents that benefit from air freight, the journey from your residence to the freight terminal is short, secure, and easily coordinated. For larger consignments travelling by sea, the proximity to the M25 and M3 motorway network provides direct access to the major UK ports, and our team plans these journeys to minimise transit time and handling.

The homes of Virginia Water
Virginia Water’s housing stock is dominated by substantial detached residences, with the Wentworth Estate setting the architectural tone for much of the village. Two property types stand out for the specific expertise they require.
Wentworth Estate residences
The homes within the Wentworth Estate range from substantial period properties to modern architect-designed residences and recent gated developments along the estate’s eastern boundary. Many properties sit within several acres of grounds, often with mature woodland, swimming pools, tennis courts, and substantial outbuildings. Moves from these properties require coordination across the estate’s gate network, careful planning of the access route from the perimeter to the residence itself, and attention to the substantial volumes the homes typically contain. Your Move Coordinator handles all of this in advance, including the estate access pass, gate timings, and loading windows, agreed before the moving day.
Country residences beyond the estate
Beyond Wentworth itself, the substantial country residences along Christchurch Road, Wellington Avenue, and the lanes leading to Windsor Great Park are often older period country homes with substantial grounds, gated driveways, and the inventories that accumulate over decades of family residence. Our team plans vehicle positioning, driveway access, protection of mature landscaping, and the volumes involved at the survey stage, with multiple crews and vehicles deployed where the move requires it.
Specialists in fine art, antiques, and family treasures
Working with art, antiques, and significant collections is central to what we do for Virginia Water clients. The Wentworth Estate’s international resident community has brought collections of remarkable variety and value to the village, and our team is experienced with the documentation, handling, and international logistics that significant collections require. Every significant piece leaving your home is condition reported and photographed, crated to order where required, and transported in climate-controlled vehicles specified for the value and fragility of the contents they carry. Where the receiving property is not yet ready, items are held in our climate-controlled London storage facility under full security, with each piece tracked by inventory throughout.
A recent Virginia Water move
Williams and Yates were appointed by an international family relocating from a residence within the Wentworth Estate to a primary residence in Singapore.
The family’s household office acted as the single point of contact across both the Wentworth residence and the receiving Singapore property. Strict discretion was maintained throughout, with documentation, inventory, and timings all routed exclusively through the family office.
The Wentworth Estate’s private road network and gate access protocols required advance coordination. Our Move Coordinator submitted access paperwork to the relevant estate authority fifteen working days ahead of the move, arranged vehicle passes for four loading vehicles and two crew support vehicles, and confirmed loading time windows across four working days of staged loading.
The contents included a substantial collection of Asian antiquities and contemporary Asian art reflecting the family’s heritage, several pieces of nineteenth-century English furniture acquired during the family’s time in the UK, and a quantity of children’s belongings being transitioned to the Singapore residence. The Asian antiquities and English furniture were condition reported, photographed, and crated, with the antiquities travelling in dedicated climate-controlled transit. The international consignment to Singapore was prepared with full export documentation by our team, with air freight from Heathrow used for the most sensitive elements of the collection and sea freight for the bulk of the household effects, coordinated to align with the family’s planned arrival.
The household office confirmed at the close of the move that the level of care taken with the family’s inherited pieces, and the precision of the estate access coordination across four working days, had allowed the family to focus on their departure rather than the details of the move itself.
Moving to Virginia Water
Virginia Water draws new residents from across the world, with the Wentworth Estate in particular attracting international principals at every stage of life. Williams and Yates are equally at home coordinating an inbound move as an outbound one. Whether your possessions are arriving from a UK address or, as is more often the case, from an overseas residence, our team manages the receiving side of your move with the same precision we bring to every stage. For international arrivals, this includes port and Heathrow clearance, Transfer of Residence relief applications where eligible, and discreet delivery to your new Virginia Water address, with any liaison required with the Wentworth Estate office or other estate management handled by our team
