Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact Edgware Movers by phone, email or online form. We will ask some simple questions about your current property, your destination, approximate volume of items, access and your preferred moving date. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining what is included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or in person, depending on your preference. The survey allows us to assess access (stairs, lifts, parking, tight corners), identify any special items (pianos, large wardrobes, American-style fridge-freezers) and plan the correct vehicle size and crew. Accurate surveys help avoid last-minute surprises.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you choose our packing service, our trained team will arrive ahead of moving day or early on the day to pack your belongings using strong boxes, wrapping paper and bubble wrap. Each box is labelled by room for easy unpacking. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply materials in advance and provide guidance so your items are well protected.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our crew arrives at the agreed time and conducts a quick walkthrough. We then protect key areas, disassemble agreed furniture and start loading. Items are wrapped, blanket-covered and carefully stacked to prevent movement in transit. Our modern vehicles are equipped with straps and rails so everything remains secure while we travel between your old and new properties.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new home, we unload in an organised way, placing furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any items previously dismantled by our team and position heavy furniture where you want it, so you are not left struggling later. Before leaving, we check with you that everything listed has been delivered and placed appropriately.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Edgware
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote is based on:
- Volume of goods (how much needs to be moved)
- Distance between addresses
- Access difficulty (stairs, long carries, restricted parking)
- Services selected (e.g. packing, storage, special item handling)
- Day and time (weekends and peak dates may carry a premium)
Your written quotation will set out what is included, any potential additional charges and our payment terms. If your circumstances change, we are happy to review and update the quote so you always know where you stand.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company such as Edgware Movers can save significant time, effort and risk compared with doing it yourself or relying on a casual man-and-van.
- Trained crews know how to lift, carry and protect items safely, reducing damage and injury.
- We bring the right equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps, ramps and dedicated removals vehicles.
- Your belongings are covered by goods in transit insurance, which is rarely the case with informal helpers.
- We plan the move from start to finish, coordinating timings with estate agents, landlords and building management where necessary.
- You avoid multiple trips in smaller vehicles and the associated fuel and time costs.
For most people, moving is infrequent and stressful. For us, it is our daily work. That experience means fewer problems and a smoother move for you.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We take that responsibility seriously.
- Goods in transit insurance protects your items while they are being moved in our vehicles.
- Public liability cover protects you and your property while our team is working on-site.
- Our staff are trained in lifting techniques, packing methods and safe driving.
- We follow industry best practice for paperwork, inventories and handling special items.
We are always happy to outline our insurance cover in more detail and respond to any specific concerns you may have.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move as if it were our own home. Key pieces of furniture are wrapped and protected, and we use floor and door protection where there is a risk of scuffs or dirt. Fragile items are packed carefully, with extra padding and clear labelling.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Wherever practical, we reuse high-quality cartons, reduce unnecessary journeys through careful route planning and encourage customers to pass on or recycle boxes after their move. Where disposal of unwanted items is required, we use licensed waste facilities rather than fly-tipping or uncontrolled dumping.
Real-World House Removals Use Cases
- Full house moves – complete contents of a family home moved in one coordinated operation.
- Flat and apartment moves – including lifts, tight stairwells and permit-based parking.
- Office and business relocations – desks, chairs, IT equipment and files moved with minimal downtime.
- Urgent and short-notice moves – where chains collapse or dates change unexpectedly; we do our best to accommodate last-minute requirements.
- Move plus storage – ideal if you are between properties, renovating or decluttering prior to a sale.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Edgware cost?
The cost of a house removal in Edgware depends mainly on the volume of items, distance, access and services required. A small flat within the local area may be a few hundred pounds, while a large family home or long-distance move will be higher. Optional extras such as packing, storage or special item handling also affect the price. After a short discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quotation so you know exactly what is included and can budget with confidence.
Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?
We understand that not every move can be planned months in advance. If you have an urgent or same-day requirement, contact us as soon as possible and we will check vehicle and crew availability. While we cannot guarantee last-minute slots, we do keep some flexibility for short-notice bookings, especially within Edgware and nearby areas. In urgent cases we may adjust the service to fit the available time, focusing on essential items first and arranging a follow-up trip if appropriate.
What insurance cover do you provide?
Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your property. This is designed to protect you against the unlikely event of accidental damage or loss caused by our team. Specific limits and terms apply, which we are happy to explain and provide in writing. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional cover or special handling arrangements.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of agreed items between your properties, along with basic protection such as furniture blankets and covers. We can dismantle and reassemble standard furniture by prior arrangement and will place items in the rooms you specify at your new home. Optional extras include full packing, fragile-only packing, provision of boxes and materials, storage and disposal of unwanted items. Your quotation will set out clearly what is included so there are no surprises on moving day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a man-and-van can suit very small or simple moves, a professional removals company provides a more structured, secure service. Our trained crews use purpose-built vehicles, protective equipment and proven packing and loading techniques. We are fully insured, conduct surveys where appropriate and plan your move around access, parking and timing constraints. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute complications. For most full house moves, especially with larger furniture or long distances, our approach offers better value and peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book my house removal?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, particularly if you are moving on a Friday or at month-end when demand is highest. Two to four weeks’ notice is usually comfortable for local Edgware moves, though we can often help with shorter notice. Early booking gives you more choice of times, allows us to arrange parking or permits if needed, and gives you time to organise packing. If your date is uncertain, we can discuss provisional arrangements.
