At Edgware Movers, we provide reliable, well-organised removal services in Edgware and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving homes and businesses of every size, we know how to plan, protect and carry out a smooth move with minimal disruption to your life or work.

What Our Removal Service Includes

Our core service is a fully managed move from one property to another, tailored to your needs. We can handle everything from a small studio move to a full family home or multi-floor office.

Service Variations

• Full house removals – flats, terraced homes, semi-detached and large detached properties
• Office and commercial removals – shops, offices, clinics and small warehouses
• Student moves – term-time relocations and end-of-tenancy clear moves
• Part-load and single-item moves – for items that won’t fit in your car or need extra care
• Packing and unpacking services – from full packing to fragile-only packing

Every move is carried out by our trained, uniformed and professional teams, using the right equipment, vehicles and protective materials for the job.

Local Expertise in Edgware

Because we are based in Edgware, we understand the local roads, parking restrictions and property types. We regularly move clients in areas such as Canons Park, Burnt Oak, Mill Hill, Stanmore and Queensbury.

That local knowledge allows us to:

• Plan realistic arrival and travel times
• Advise on parking permits and access restrictions
• Use the best vehicle sizes for your street and building
• Coordinate with building management for lifts and loading bays

This reduces delays and helps keep the day running to schedule.

Who Our Removal Services Are For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Edgware entirely, we manage the timing of your move carefully around key collection and completion. We protect furniture, flooring and bannisters so both your old and new homes are left in good condition.

Renters

We help tenants move flats and houses with minimal fuss, working to end-of-tenancy dates and check-out inspections. We can assist with dismantling and reassembly of beds and wardrobes, and we take extra care not to mark walls or common areas.

Landlords

Our team supports landlords with tenant changeovers, partial moves and cleared removals of left-behind items. We work efficiently to help you prepare properties for new tenants or refurbishment.

Businesses

For businesses, we provide structured office and commercial moves, including desks, IT equipment, stock and archive files. We can move you during evenings or weekends to reduce downtime and keep your operations running smoothly.

Students

Students moving to or from Edgware benefit from smaller, cost-effective moves. We help with boxed belongings, clothes, bikes, small furniture and computer equipment, offering flexible dates around term times.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs, chests of drawers
• Appliances – washing machines, dryers, fridges and freezers (properly defrosted and disconnected)
• Electronics – TVs, computers, sound systems, printers and gaming equipment
• Personal belongings – clothes, books, ornaments and kitchenware
• Office items – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, stock and boxed archives
• Outdoor items – garden furniture, tools, small sheds (by prior arrangement)

Items We Usually Exclude

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some things we cannot move, including:

• Hazardous materials – fuel, gas cylinders, paint thinners, chemicals
• Illegal or prohibited items
• Live animals or pets
• Cash, jewellery and high-value personal documents (we advise you carry these yourself)
• Very large or specialist items without prior notice (pianos, safes, industrial machinery)

If you have anything unusual or particularly valuable, mention it during the survey and we will advise on safe handling options.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with basic details: where you are moving from and to, property size, preferred dates and any special requirements. We then provide an initial estimate and explain the next steps clearly, including any packing services you may need.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

We carry out a survey to understand exactly what needs to be moved. This can be done via video call or an in-person visit. We assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and item volumes. This allows us to allocate the right team size, vehicle and equipment, and to provide a firm, written quotation with no hidden extras.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our team arrives on time and begins protecting your belongings and property. If you have chosen our professional packing service, we use double-walled boxes, wrapping paper and bubble wrap for fragile items. Furniture is wrapped in padded covers, and mattresses are bagged where required. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply quality materials in advance.

4. Loading & Transport

We load your belongings methodically, securing items in the vehicle to prevent movement during transit. Heavy and bulky items are handled with dollies, straps and trolleys to reduce risk of damage or injury. Once loaded, we travel via the most suitable route, keeping you updated on arrival times at your new address.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload and place items in the rooms you specify, not just in the hallway. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled, position large items where you want them and remove used packing materials for recycling where possible. Before we leave, we check that you are happy with the placement and that nothing has been missed.

Transparent Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Distance between properties
• Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Optional services such as packing, materials and storage

All costs are itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no surprise charges on the day as long as the information provided at survey stage is accurate.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Moving yourself, or hiring an unregulated man-and-van, can seem cheaper at first glance, but often leads to hidden costs, delays and damage. With Edgware Movers you benefit from:

• Fully insured services with goods in transit and public liability cover
• Trained teams who know how to lift, manoeuvre and protect furniture
• Proper packing materials and protective covers
• Reliable scheduling and a written agreement
• Professional vehicles maintained for regular, heavy use

This reduces the risk of breakages, injury and last-minute cancellations, and usually means your move finishes faster and with far less stress.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate to recognised industry standards and take our responsibilities seriously.

• Goods in transit insurance – your belongings are covered while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property during the move.
• Trained moving teams – our staff receive practical training in safe handling, packing of fragile items and health & safety.

We are happy to provide details of our insurance cover and terms on request, and we encourage clients to read these carefully so they understand what is and is not included.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings and properties as if they were our own. That means using floor protection where needed, wrapping furniture and avoiding knocks to walls and doors. We also aim to work as sustainably as we reasonably can.

• Re-use of strong cartons where appropriate
• Recycling of damaged boxes and excess packing materials
• Efficient route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Careful maintenance of vehicles to improve fuel efficiency

Our goal is to combine careful handling with thoughtful working practices that reduce waste and environmental impact.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House Within Edgware

Many of our customers move from one part of Edgware to another, often upsizing from flats to houses. We coordinate closely with estate agents and solicitors where necessary, and we are used to dealing with completion-day timing changes.

Office Relocation

For local businesses, we relocate offices with attention to continuity. Desks and chairs are labelled for easy placement, IT equipment is packed securely and we follow a detailed move plan so staff can get back to work quickly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves are not planned months in advance. Where our schedule allows, we can provide urgent or short-notice removal services, including same-day in some circumstances. We prioritise clear communication about what is realistic so expectations are managed fairly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removal services in Edgware usually cost?

Costs vary depending on property size, volume of belongings, access and distance. A small flat move within Edgware will naturally be cheaper than a large family home moving across the country. After a survey, we provide a fixed, itemised quotation so you know exactly what is included. This usually covers the team, vehicle, fuel, standard protective materials and loading/unloading. Optional extras, such as packing services, boxes and storage, are listed separately so you can decide what best fits your budget.

Can you provide same-day or urgent removals?

We can often help with urgent or short-notice moves, including same-day in some cases, depending on existing bookings and crew availability. If you need a fast move, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details of your requirements. We will be honest about what can be achieved safely and may suggest a phased approach if time is very tight. While we always try to accommodate emergencies, planned moves usually offer better choice of dates and lower stress.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items while they are in our care and being transported, as well as public liability cover for third-party property. Cover is subject to policy terms, including limits and exclusions, which we are happy to share with you in writing. We recommend that particularly high-value or delicate items are highlighted in advance, and that you keep personal documents, jewellery and cash with you. For additional peace of mind, you may also wish to check how our cover sits alongside your own home insurance.

What is included in your removal service as standard?

Our standard service includes a trained team, the appropriate size vehicle, loading and unloading of your belongings, basic protection for furniture, securing items in the van and placement of items into the main rooms at your new address. We dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture that will not pass through doorways safely. Packing, unpacking, specialist crating, storage and packaging materials are available as optional extras. All inclusions and exclusions are clearly listed on your written quotation so you know precisely what to expect on moving day.

How is a professional removal service different from a man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, low-risk moves, but they often lack formal training, comprehensive insurance and proper equipment. A professional removal company like Edgware Movers provides trained staff, fully insured services, robust vehicles and systematic planning. We carry out surveys, issue written quotes and contracts, and follow standard procedures for packing and protection. This reduces the likelihood of damage, delays and disputes, and means you have clear recourse if something goes wrong. In many cases, the extra professionalism represents good value for money.

How far in advance should I book my move?

For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking as soon as you have a clear idea of your moving window, particularly if you are tied to completion dates or school holidays. Many customers book two to four weeks ahead, but we can often accommodate shorter lead times, especially midweek or outside peak periods. Once your date is confirmed, we secure your booking in our schedule and help you plan packing and access arrangements. If your dates are still flexible, we can discuss different options and hold provisional slots where possible.
