Being based in and around Edgware means we understand the practicalities of moving locally. From busy roads such as the A5 and A41 to parking restrictions on residential streets and flats above shops, we are used to the challenges that can slow less experienced firms down.
We regularly move clients in areas including Edgwarebury, Canons Park, Burnt Oak and nearby districts. We liaise with you in advance regarding lift access, loading bays and any permits so that your move runs smoothly on the day.
Who Our Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of the area, we manage full house moves with care. We are used to handling a wide range of belongings, from everyday furniture to fragile items and sentimental possessions.
Renters
If you are moving between rented properties, we offer efficient, cost-conscious moves for flats, maisonettes and shared houses. We work considerately around communal areas, stairwells and lift access to keep neighbours and landlords happy.
Landlords
Landlords and letting agents use us for clearing and moving furniture between properties, end-of-tenancy removals and part-furnished moves. We can coordinate directly with your tenants if required, saving you time.
Businesses
We provide office removals and small business relocations, including shops, clinics and studios. We understand the importance of minimising downtime, protecting IT equipment and labelling to ensure everything ends up in the right place at your new premises.
Students
Students moving to and from halls or shared accommodation benefit from a streamlined service tailored to smaller loads. We can combine drop-offs, work to tight time slots and offer cost-effective options for limited budgets.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
Our teams are trained and equipped to move:
- Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables and chairs

- Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment
- Boxes of personal items, books, clothing and kitchenware
- Office furniture, filing cabinets and boxed documentation

Items Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement
For safety, insurance and legal reasons, some items are excluded or only moved by prior arrangement:

- Live animals and pets

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise during your survey so there are no surprises on moving day.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with your moving details: addresses, dates, property size and any special requirements. We provide an initial estimate and explain the next steps. Our quotations are clear, with no hidden extras, and set out exactly what is included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything beyond the smallest moves, we carry out a brief survey. This can be virtual (video call or photos) or in-person, depending on your preference and the complexity of the job. We check access, parking, staircases, lift availability and the volume of items. This allows us to allocate the right size vehicle, crew and equipment so the move is completed efficiently and safely.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack your own belongings or use our professional packing service. If we are packing, we usually attend the day before or earlier, bringing double-walled cartons, wrapping paper and protective materials. Fragile items are individually wrapped and boxes are clearly labelled by room. If you are self-packing, we can supply suitable materials in advance and provide guidance on best practice.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, introduces themselves and confirms the plan with you. We protect floors and bannisters where required, then carefully load your items, securing them in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. Our vehicles are clean, regularly maintained and equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys to keep your belongings safe throughout the journey.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload in a structured order, placing each item in the rooms you specify. We reassemble furniture we have dismantled and position large pieces where you want them, so you can settle in more quickly. Before leaving, we check that everything is unloaded, positioned as agreed and that you are satisfied with the result.
Transparent Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- The volume of goods to be moved
- Distance between properties
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long walks, parking issues)
- Level of service (self-pack, part-pack, or full packing)
- Any additional services, such as storage or specialist items
All costs are itemised in your written quotation so you can see exactly what you are paying for. If your circumstances change before moving day, we will adjust and confirm the price in advance, not on the doorstep.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company is about more than convenience. Our trained crews know how to move heavy and fragile items safely, protecting both your belongings and your property. We use suitable equipment, vehicles and protective materials that a casual man-and-van or DIY move rarely provides.
With us, you avoid the risk of injuries from lifting, last-minute vehicle problems and the stress of coordinating friends and family. Your goods are covered by appropriate insurance, and you deal with a single point of contact from quotation through to completion.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Edgware Movers operates to recognised industry standards. We are fully insured and work to clear procedures designed to protect you and your belongings.
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for peace of mind in the unlikely event of damage to property or third parties
- Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting techniques and correct packing methods
We record details of your move, provide written confirmations and are always happy to explain how our cover applies to your particular job.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat clients’ belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped and protected, fragile items are cushioned properly and we take care around doorways, staircases and flooring. We encourage re-use of cartons where practical and source materials from responsible suppliers.
Where possible, we optimise our vehicle routes to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions. Unwanted but usable items can be directed to local charities or recycling centres by arrangement, helping to reduce waste during your move.
Real-World Moving Scenarios We Handle
Moving House in Edgware
From terraced houses off the High Street to larger family homes, we are used to planning around school runs, parking restrictions and tight completion times. We coordinate with your schedule so that the move fits smoothly with key collection and handover.
Office and Business Relocations
For offices and small businesses, we plan moves to minimise disruption. This may include moving outside normal working hours, careful packing of IT equipment and structured labelling so staff can resume work quickly in the new location.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Life does not always run to a perfect timetable. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice moves in and around Edgware. We prioritise clear communication so you know exactly what we can achieve in the available time and budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal companies in Edgware typically charge?
The cost of a removal in Edgware depends mainly on the volume of items, distance and access at each property. A small local flat move may be completed within a few hours, while a larger family home with full packing will naturally cost more. We provide a tailored written quote after a quick survey so you know the exact price before you commit. Our prices include labour, vehicle, fuel and standard insurance, with any optional extras clearly itemised.
Can you do same-day or urgent removals?
Same-day or urgent removals are sometimes possible, depending on our existing bookings and the size of the move. Smaller flat or student moves are generally easier to accommodate at short notice, while full house moves usually require more planning. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as you can with your details. We will let you know honestly what we can offer, any limitations, and provide a clear price before confirming the booking.
What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?
We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved in our care, together with public liability cover. This offers protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage or an incident during the move. During your quotation, we explain what is covered, any limits and how to declare particularly high-value items. We always encourage you to mention anything especially valuable or fragile so we can take extra precautions and confirm the appropriate cover in advance.
What is included in your removals service as standard?
Our standard removals service includes a suitably sized vehicle, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms of your choice. We provide protective blankets, straps and basic floor protection where needed. Disassembly and reassembly of standard furniture can be included by agreement. Optional extras such as full packing, materials supply and storage are available and clearly listed on your quote. We discuss your needs in detail beforehand so the service matches your expectations on moving day.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals service offers more structure, protection and accountability. Our trained crews use appropriate equipment, follow safe handling techniques and are backed by formal insurance. We plan access, parking and timings in advance, and provide written quotes and confirmations. A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, low-risk jobs, but will often lack adequate insurance, packaging, and the manpower required for larger moves. With us, you know who is arriving, when, and exactly what is included in the service.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
Ideally, you should book your removal as soon as you know your moving date, especially if you are moving on a Friday, end of month or during school holidays. Many clients confirm two to four weeks in advance, which gives time for surveys, packing arrangements and any parking permissions. That said, we understand dates can change, so we always try to be flexible. If your plans are uncertain, we can pencil in a provisional slot and finalise details once your date is confirmed.
