Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with your move details: addresses, dates, access, and what needs moving. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included and any optional extras, such as packing or dismantling.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything more than a small move, we usually carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess the volume of furniture, staircases and lifts, parking arrangements and any awkward items. Accurate surveys help us send the right size vehicle and team on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack smaller items yourself, or we can provide a professional packing service. For furniture, our team will protect each piece using padded blankets, shrink wrap and, where needed, corner protectors. We can also dismantle beds, wardrobes and certain items for safer transport, then reassemble them at your new property.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and starts loading. We protect floors and walls where needed and carefully secure furniture on the vehicle using straps and specialist equipment. Your goods are then transported directly to the new address, unless a specific alternative arrangement has been agreed.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload systematically, placing furniture in the rooms you specify. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled, and ensure everything is in a safe, usable position before we leave. You have the chance to check each room and raise any concerns immediately.
Transparent Furniture Removals Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are typically based on:
- Volume and type of furniture
- Distance between properties
- Access issues (stairs, parking, long carries)
- Services required (loading only, or packing and dismantling too)
- Timing (weekdays, weekends, evenings)
Once we have completed a survey, we provide a written quotation detailing what is included. Any additional costs, such as congestion or parking charges, will be clearly stated in advance so you can budget confidently.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van?
Moving furniture yourself or using a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper, but often leads to extra stress, damage and delays. With Finchley Movers, you benefit from:
- Trained teams who know how to lift, carry and protect furniture properly
- Correct vehicles with the right equipment for safe transport
- Fully insured cover, giving you proper protection if something goes wrong
- Reliable timing and communication, reducing disruption to your day
- Help with dismantling and reassembly, saving you time and effort
By using a professional removals company, you greatly reduce the risk of injury, property damage and unexpected costs.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Finchley Movers operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your furniture while it is being moved
- Public liability cover for peace of mind in and around your property
- Trained, vetted staff following safe lifting and handling practices
We work to recognised industry standards on inventory, labelling and vehicle loading. If you have specific insurance requirements or need confirmation for your own insurer, we are happy to provide documentation.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your belongings and property is at the heart of our service. We use padded transit blankets, mattress and sofa covers, and floor protection where needed. Furniture is wrapped and secured to avoid movement and rubbing in transit.
We also pay attention to our environmental impact. Wherever possible, we:
- Reuse durable packing materials, such as blankets and crates
- Offer collection of reusable boxes after your move
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
Where disposal of old furniture is required, we can arrange responsible disposal or recycling, in line with local regulations, by prior agreement.
Real-World Furniture Removals Use Cases
Moving House
Whether you are moving within Finchley or across the country, we can move full homes or just the bulky furniture and appliances you cannot handle yourself. We coordinate with your timings and key collection to keep the day running smoothly.
Office and Commercial Relocations
We regularly help local businesses relocate or reorganise their offices. Our team can dismantle workstations, move filing cabinets and re-set your layout at the new site, often outside regular business hours to minimise downtime.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves cannot be planned months in advance. If you face an urgent move in Finchley, contact us as soon as possible. Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice assistance for essential furniture removals.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Finchley cost?
The cost depends on how much furniture you have, the distance between properties, access, and whether you need extra services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller local moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while larger moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. After a short survey, we provide a clear written quotation showing exactly what is included, along with any potential additional charges such as parking or congestion fees. This way, you know the full cost of your move before you commit.
Can you handle same-day or urgent furniture removals?
We can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Finchley, depending on vehicle and crew availability. If you require an urgent move, call us as early as possible with full details of what needs moving, both addresses and your time window. We will let you know quickly what we can offer and give you a clear cost. While advance booking is always best, we understand that circumstances change and we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests.
What insurance cover do you provide for my furniture?
Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved, and we also hold public liability cover for work in and around your property. This gives protection in the unlikely event of damage or an incident during the move. We handle items carefully to avoid claims, but if something does go wrong, we follow a straightforward, documented process. If you have individual high-value items, let us know in advance so we can confirm coverage or recommend additional options.
What exactly is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, loading and unloading of furniture, protection with blankets and straps, and safe transport between your addresses. We place furniture in the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble basic items by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and materials, and responsible disposal of unwanted furniture. All inclusions and optional services are clearly listed in your quotation, so you know precisely what to expect on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small moves, but a professional removals service offers significant advantages. We provide trained staff, appropriate vehicles with protective equipment, written quotations, and full insurance cover. Our team can handle complex access, heavy items and dismantling safely, reducing the risk of damage or injury. We also plan moves carefully, keep to agreed times, and offer support before and after the move. Overall, you gain more reliability, protection and peace of mind.
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 for Fridays, weekends and month-ends which are often busiest. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy changes can shift, so we always try to be flexible. If your move is sooner, contact us as early as you can and we will let you know what availability we have. Once booked, we confirm all details in writing so you can plan with confidence.
