Who Our Removal Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we provide a complete moving service for houses and flats. We can pack your home, move everything safely, and place items in the correct rooms at your new property.

Renters

We regularly help tenants moving between rented flats and houses, often on tight timescales. We take care around communal areas to avoid any damage or disputes with landlords or building management.

Landlords

For landlords, we offer reliable removals when tenants vacate, including removal of unwanted furniture and preparation for new tenants or refurbishment. We can also assist with moving furniture between your properties.

Businesses

Our commercial removals team supports local offices, shops and small businesses. We move desks, IT equipment, filing, stock and display units with minimal disruption, planning around your trading hours wherever possible.

Students

Students moving in or out of Finchley benefit from a practical, affordable service for smaller moves – ideal when you have more than you can carry, but not enough for a large lorry. We can combine collection from multiple addresses if needed.

What Our Removal Service Includes

Items Typically Included

We safely move most household and office items, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes and all other furniture
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers (disconnected)
• Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and kitchenware
• IT equipment, printers and office furniture
• TVs, audio systems and other electronics
• Garden furniture, BBQs and outdoor items (clean and emptied)

Items We Cannot Move

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our standard service:

• Flammable, hazardous or chemical materials (paints, fuel, gas bottles)
• Illegal items or items that breach regulations
• Live animals or pets
• Perishable or frozen food for long-distance moves
• Excessively heavy items requiring specialist handling (e.g. some safes, industrial machinery) – these may be arranged separately by agreement

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you clearly during the survey.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: addresses, property type, approximate volume of goods, and preferred dates. We then provide an initial estimate and discuss your requirements – such as full packing service, part packing or transport only. Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden extras.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

We carry out a survey to understand access, parking, and the volume and nature of your belongings. This can be done via video call or an in-person visit. The survey allows us to allocate the right vehicle size, number of movers and protective materials, and to give you a clear, fixed quotation.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our team arrives with all necessary materials. Depending on your booking, we can:

• Provide a full packing service, packing every item professionally
• Offer a fragile packing service for breakables only
• Supply materials if you prefer to pack yourself

Furniture is protected with covers and, where appropriate, we will dismantle larger items for safe transport.

4. Loading & Transport

We load the vehicle systematically, securing items to minimise movement in transit. Floors, banisters and doorways are protected as needed. Our professional drivers then transport your belongings directly to your new address, using planned routes that take account of London traffic and any access constraints at the destination.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We reassemble furniture that we dismantled and position larger pieces where you want them. Before we leave, we invite you to check that everything you expected has arrived and is in the right place.

Transparent Pricing – How Our Charges Work

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will be based on:

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Access and distance between properties
• Number of movers required
• Level of service – packing, dismantling/reassembly, materials
• Any additional services such as storage

All costs are itemised, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. We do not add unexpected extras on moving day, provided the details you have given us are accurate.

Why Choose Professional Removals Instead of DIY

Using a professional removals company offers several clear advantages over hiring a van and doing it yourself or using an informal man-and-van:

• Safety – trained teams know how to lift, carry and navigate tight spaces without injury or damage.
• Protection – professional materials and techniques reduce the risk of breakages.
• Insurance – your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance.
• Efficiency – experienced crews complete moves faster and with less disruption.
• Reliability – agreed times, confirmed bookings and proper vehicles.

While DIY might appear cheaper at first glance, damage, delays and stress often make it more costly in the long run.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Finchley Movers operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are being moved
• Public liability cover for work in and around your property
• Trained, experienced moving teams, supervised on every job

Our crews follow agreed procedures for handling fragile, high-value and bulky items. We will explain how our cover works before you book and can answer any specific questions about high-value goods.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Every move is planned around the safe handling of your possessions and the protection of your home or office. We use:

• Furniture blankets, mattress and sofa covers
• Floor protectors where required
• Straps and equipment for secure loading

We are mindful of sustainability and aim to minimise waste by:

• Reusing sturdy crates and protective materials where appropriate
• Offering the collection and re-use of good-quality boxes
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House in Finchley

Typical house moves include packing the day before and moving you in a single, well-organised day. We coordinate with your completion times and ensure you are out of your old property on schedule.

Office and Business Relocations

For offices, shops and studios, we can move outside normal working hours to keep downtime to a minimum. We label crates and furniture clearly so that your new layout can be set up quickly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up unexpectedly – a sale completes faster than planned, or a tenancy ends at short notice. Where our schedule allows, we offer fast, flexible support for urgent moves in Finchley and nearby areas. We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable in the time available.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removal companies in Finchley typically cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, access at each address and the level of service you choose. A small flat move with minimal packing support will cost less than a full packing and moving service for a large family home. After a survey, we provide a clear, itemised quotation so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras, provided the information you give us is accurate and the scope of work does not change.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves, particularly within Finchley and the surrounding areas, but it depends on existing bookings and the size of the move. If you need an urgent removal, contact us as early as possible with full details so we can assess availability and the resources required. We will always be upfront about what we can realistically deliver and, if we cannot help, we may be able to suggest practical alternatives to bridge the gap.

What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?

Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work at your property. This provides protection in the unlikely event of damage caused by our team. We will explain the key terms, any limits and exclusions when you book, and we always recommend that you also maintain your own contents insurance. If you have particularly high-value items, please tell us in advance so we can note them and advise you properly.

What is included in a typical removals service?

A standard removals service includes a vehicle of appropriate size, a trained crew, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We protect your furniture and property, place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include full packing, fragile-only packing, and supply of packing materials. Your quotation will clearly set out what is and is not included, so there is no confusion about responsibilities on moving day.

How is a professional removals company different from a man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service typically offers simple transport only, often without formal training, structured planning or proper insurance. As a professional removals company, we provide trained crews, appropriate protective materials, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and a planned process from survey to completion. We are set up to handle full homes and offices efficiently and safely. While man-and-van options can suit very small, low-risk jobs, most full moves benefit significantly from the reliability and protection of a professional service.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

We recommend booking as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you are moving at the end of the month, during school holidays or at weekends, when demand is highest. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal for most moves, allowing time for a survey, quotation and any packing arrangements. However, we understand that dates can change, and we try to be flexible where possible. If your move is urgent, contact us and we will check our schedule and advise on options.
