Furniture Removals
Professional Furniture Removals in Edgware
At Edgware Movers, we provide reliable, well-organised furniture removals across Edgware and the surrounding areas. As a local removals company with years of hands-on experience, we move everything from single items to full homes and offices, always with careful planning, clear communication and a calm, professional approach.
Specialist Furniture Removals from a Local Edgware Team
Our team lives and works in and around Edgware, so we know the local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts very well. Whether you are moving within HA8, out of the area, or bringing items into Edgware, we plan the route, vehicle access and timings to avoid unnecessary delays and disruption.
We regularly carry out moves from flats above shops on Station Road, houses around Canons Park and Edgwarebury, and commercial premises close to Edgware Underground. This local knowledge means fewer surprises on moving day and a smoother, more efficient service.
Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Our furniture removals service is designed for:
- Homeowners moving between houses or into long-term homes, including large, heavy or delicate furniture.
- Renters in flats and houses needing a careful move without damaging walls, stairwells or communal areas.
- Landlords clearing or refurnishing properties between tenancies, including part-load and multi-stop moves.
- Businesses relocating offices, shops or clinics, or rearranging furniture on site.
- Students moving to or from halls or shared houses with a mix of flat-pack and personal furniture.
Whether you need a full property move or just a few bulky items taken from A to B, we scale the service to suit you.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
Contact us by phone or online with a brief description of your move: addresses, access details, list of main furniture and preferred dates. We provide a clear, no-obligation quotation based on the information you give. For straightforward smaller moves, we can usually quote the same day.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger homes or more complex moves, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to see access routes, staircases, lifts, parking and any oversized items. A proper survey helps us allocate the right vehicle, crew size and time, and reduces the risk of delays on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full or part packing service – our trained team packs and protects your items using quality materials.
- Packing your own smaller items – we advise on materials and labelling, and we focus on furniture protection and handling.
On the day we wrap furniture with removal blankets, shrink wrap and corner protectors as needed. We can also dismantle and reassemble beds, wardrobes and similar items by prior agreement.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional team loads your furniture in a safe, logical order. Heavier items are secured at the base, with straps and cushioning to prevent movement in transit. We use purpose-built removal vehicles, not ordinary vans, and all moves are covered by goods in transit insurance for added peace of mind.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we place each item in the room you specify. We can position larger pieces where you want them, subject to safe manual handling. Any furniture we dismantled as part of the move is reassembled before we leave, unless we have agreed a different arrangement in advance.
Transparent, Fair Pricing for Furniture Removals
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotations typically consider:
- Volume and type of furniture to be moved
- Travel distance between properties
- Access issues (stairs, long walks, restricted parking, lifts)
- Additional services such as packing, materials or storage
- Day of the week and time requirements
We explain exactly what is included, so you know what your move will cost before you commit. There are no hidden extras for standard work; any potential additional charges (for example, where access is very different from what was described) are discussed in advance whenever possible.
Why Choose Professional Removals over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Moving furniture yourself or using a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, delays and unnecessary stress. With Edgware Movers you benefit from:
- Trained teams who understand safe lifting, packing and manoeuvring in tight spaces.
- Fully insured vehicles with goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
- Proper equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps and floor protection.
- Reliable timings and clear communication.
- Accountability – a registered, local business with a reputation to uphold.
For valuable furniture and a smooth moving day, a professional removals company offers far better protection and overall value than a casual service.
Insurance, Standards and Professionalism
All our moves are carried out to high professional standards. We maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved.
- Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property.
- Trained, experienced movers who follow safe handling and loading practices.
We carry out regular checks on our vehicles and equipment, and our team is briefed before each job so everyone understands the plan. If you have specific concerns – for example, about a delicate heirloom or unusually heavy item – we address these in advance and document any particular handling instructions.
Care, Protection and a Sustainable Approach
We take the protection of your furniture and property seriously. We use blankets, wrapping, mattress covers and floor protectors to minimise the risk of scuffs or damage. Corners, glass and polished surfaces receive extra attention.
Where possible, we use reusable materials such as blankets and durable crates to reduce waste. For cardboard and other disposables, we aim to source recycled or recyclable products. If you would like us to remove used boxes at the end of the move, we can do so by arrangement, helping you keep clutter to a minimum and supporting a more sustainable approach.
Real-World Situations We Handle Regularly
Moving House within or from Edgware
From small flats to large family homes, we move full households across Edgware and beyond. We are used to managing residents’ parking, tight staircases and time slots in managed buildings.
Office and Commercial Furniture Moves
We relocate desks, filing cabinets, meeting tables and reception furniture for local businesses. We can work outside normal office hours to reduce disruption and can coordinate with your IT or facilities teams.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves arise unexpectedly – a tenancy ending sooner than planned, a sale completing quickly, or urgent furniture collection. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice furniture removals in Edgware. Let us know your timescales, and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Edgware cost?
The cost depends on the amount and type of furniture, access at both properties, and the distance travelled. Smaller local jobs, such as a few items between addresses in Edgware, are usually priced on a minimum charge or hourly rate. Full home or office moves are generally quoted as a fixed price, agreed in advance after we understand your requirements. To give you a fair and accurate figure, we may recommend a short virtual or onsite survey. All quotations are itemised so you can see exactly what is included.
Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can often provide same-day or short-notice furniture removals in Edgware and nearby areas. Availability depends on existing bookings, vehicle capacity and crew numbers on the day. It is always best to call us as soon as you know you need an urgent move, and have key details ready, such as addresses, access and main items. Even if we cannot offer your exact time, we will try to propose a practical alternative that still meets your deadline.
Are my items insured during the move?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your property. This provides protection in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. We handle your belongings carefully to prevent damage in the first place, but insurance offers additional reassurance. If you have very high-value items or unusual pieces, please mention them in advance so we can confirm the level of cover and discuss any extra precautions we may recommend.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, protective equipment (blankets, straps and basic floor protection), loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. On request, we can also provide packing materials, full or part packing, and dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture items. Your quotation will clearly list all services included so you know exactly what to expect on the day. If you need storage or additional help at either end, we can discuss options when preparing your quote.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, low-risk jobs, but a professional removals service offers a higher level of protection and reliability. We use trained staff, purpose-built vehicles, quality packing materials and proper securing methods. Our work is covered by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, and we provide written quotations and clear terms. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings, especially when moving full homes or valuable furniture. In many cases, the extra peace of mind more than justifies the modest difference in price.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday, weekend or at month-end, when demand is higher. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change at short notice, so we always try to be flexible. Even if your timing is uncertain, it is helpful to contact us early so we can pencil in a provisional slot and adjust as your plans become clearer.
