Who Our Furniture Removal Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating, we can move all your household furniture and effects. From large wardrobes and beds to sofas, tables and garden items, we’ll dismantle where needed, protect every piece and reassemble on arrival.
Renters
If you are moving between rented properties, we offer flexible, cost-effective moves that fit around check-out and check-in times. We handle stairwells, lifts and tight hallways every day, taking care to protect both your belongings and the property.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We assist landlords with furnished and part-furnished removals, including clearing or installing furniture between tenancies. We work to tight timelines, ensuring properties are ready for new tenants as quickly as possible.
Businesses & Offices
We move desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving, reception furniture and archive storage for businesses of all sizes. Our team can work outside normal office hours to minimise downtime and disruption to staff and customers.
Students
Students often only need a smaller move, but still want their belongings treated with care. We provide affordable, reliable student furniture removals between halls, shared houses and storage units, ideal for term-time and end-of-year moves.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Everything starts with a quick conversation. You can call, email or fill in our enquiry form. We will ask about your addresses, access, number of rooms and key furniture items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote that explains what is included so you can make an informed decision.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves or more complex properties, we recommend a survey. This can be done by video call or an onsite visit in Edgware. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, staircases, lift availability and any fragile or bulky furniture that may need dismantling. Accurate information at this stage helps avoid surprises on moving day.
3. Packing & Preparation
We can provide a full packing service, a part-packing service for specific items (such as fragile pieces), or you can pack yourself. We supply suitable materials like sturdy boxes, tape, and protective wraps. On moving day, we carefully blanket-wrap and protect your furniture, and dismantle larger items as agreed in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained removal team will load your furniture methodically, using professional equipment such as dollies, straps, covers and floor protection. Items are secured inside the vehicle to minimise movement in transit. We use well-maintained removal vans suitable for both local Edgware moves and longer-distance UK journeys.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload and place furniture into the rooms you choose. We will reassemble any items we dismantled as part of the service and can make reasonable adjustments to positioning so you are happy with the layout. Before we leave, we do a quick walk-through with you to confirm everything is where it should be.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are typically based on:
- Volume and type of furniture
- Distance between properties
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, parking distance)
- Number of movers required
- Optional services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly
We will always explain what is included in your quote: vehicle size, team size, estimated time, and any additional services. If your requirements change, we update the quote so you know where you stand.
Why Choose Professional Furniture Removals Over DIY
While hiring a van and doing it yourself can seem cheaper, many customers tell us they underestimated the time, effort and risk involved. Professional furniture removals brings clear benefits:
- Trained teams use correct lifting techniques to reduce risk of injury.
- Proper equipment and vehicles protect your furniture in transit.
- Efficient loading and unloading saves hours of hard work.
- Less chance of damage to property walls, doors and staircases.
- Goods in transit insurance offers protection that casual man-and-van services often do not provide.
A move planned and carried out by experienced professionals is usually faster, safer and less stressful than a DIY approach.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man and a Van Edgware works to high professional standards on every job, regardless of size.
- Goods in transit insurance – Covers your belongings while they are in our vehicle, subject to policy terms and conditions.
- Public liability cover – Protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury while we are working.
- Trained moving teams – Our staff are experienced in safe handling, packing, lifting and driving techniques.
We are always happy to discuss the details of our cover so you understand exactly how your furniture is protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your furniture represents both financial and emotional value, so we treat it with respect from start to finish. We use padded blankets, mattress protectors, sofa covers and corner protectors where appropriate, and take care to protect floors and walls in both properties.
We also aim to work as sustainably as possible by reusing packing materials where safe and hygienic, choosing efficient routes to reduce fuel usage, and recycling unwanted furniture or packaging where requested and practical.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Edgware cost?
Costs depend on several factors: how much furniture you have, the distance between properties, access conditions (stairs, lifts, parking) and any extra services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller local moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while larger moves are usually a fixed price. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear written quote with everything itemised, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you book.
Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Edgware, especially for smaller jobs or single items, depending on vehicle and crew availability. The more notice you can give, the better the chance we can fit you in at your preferred time. For urgent moves, it is best to phone us so we can check the schedule immediately and offer realistic options for timing and price.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for your furniture while it is in our vehicle, and public liability cover while we are working at your properties. This offers protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage, subject to the terms and limits of our policies. We will happily outline what is covered, any exclusions and how claims work before you book, so you can be confident your belongings are properly protected.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes a removal vehicle, a professional moving team, protective blankets and equipment, careful loading, secure transport and unloading with placement of furniture in your new property. We can also add packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and removal of unwanted items by prior agreement. Your written quote will clearly list everything included for your particular move.
What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?
While a casual man-and-van may move items from A to B, our service is a structured, fully insured removal operation. We provide trained staff, proper planning, protective equipment, written quotations and clear terms. We assess access, advise on packing and handle complex items safely. This reduces the risk of damage to your belongings and property, and generally makes the entire move more efficient, predictable and less stressful than an informal arrangement.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For most moves, we recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday, weekend or at month-end when demand is highest. This gives us time to complete any survey, arrange packing materials and schedule the right team and vehicle. However, we understand that dates sometimes change at short notice, so we always do our best to accommodate late bookings where our schedule allows.
