Service overview
Moving furniture safely, one piece or many
What it is
Our furniture removals service moves individual pieces or several rooms of furniture: sofas, beds, wardrobes, dining tables, chests of drawers and more. We move individual or multiple furniture items. Discuss protection, access and placement requirements before booking. We can dismantle and reassemble where needed.
Who it's for
It's for people buying or selling furniture, moving items between homes, sending furniture to family, or clearing a room. Businesses also use it for office furniture.
When you need it
Use furniture removals when an item is too heavy or bulky to move yourself, when you've bought something that needs collecting, or when you're moving furniture only, without the rest of a household.
Why professional help matters
Heavy furniture is awkward and easy to damage. Dropping a corner chips wood, dragging scratches floors, and forcing through doors marks walls. An experienced crew handles weight safely and protects both the furniture and the property.
The risks
What happens when heavy furniture is moved badly
Furniture damage is usually caused in seconds and costs a lot to fix.
Scratched and chipped furniture
Unwrapped pieces get damaged against walls, doors and each other.
Damaged homes
Walls, banisters and floors get marked during awkward carries.
Injury
Lifting heavy items without technique causes back and hand injuries.
Items that don't fit
Without planning, furniture can get stuck in hallways and stairwells.
Common mistakes to avoid
- ×Moving furniture without wrapping it.
- ×Dragging items across floors.
- ×Not measuring doorways and stairs.
- ×Trying to carry large items with too few people.

Pricing
Details to include in your furniture removals enquiry
We don't publish a one-size-fits-all price list, because no two jobs are the same. A small flat on the ground floor with parking outside is a very different job to a four-bedroom house with a narrow staircase and permit-only parking. Instead, we offer a free survey and then a free fixed quote for your exact job.
For your quote, tell us about:
- How much is moving, and how large or heavy the items are
- Access at both addresses: stairs, lifts, parking and distance from the door
- The distance between addresses
- Extras you choose, such as packing, dismantling and reassembly, storage or disposal
- Your preferred date and time, so availability can be discussed
Your fixed quote covers the agreed work. If your items, addresses, access or dates change, tell us so any quote changes can be discussed before proceeding. Payment is by bank transfer or cash.
Get ready
How to prepare for your furniture removals job
Discuss your requirements before the job. Before we arrive, it helps to:
- 1.Call us early with your dates, even if they're not confirmed.
- 2.Book your free survey so we can see access and anything that needs special handling.
- 3.Decide what you don't want to keep. We can take it away under our Environment Agency Waste Carrier Licence, as an agreed disposal service.
- 4.Check parking at both addresses and let us know about any restrictions.
- 5.Measure large furniture against doors and stairs at the new property, and ask whether dismantling is suitable.
- 6.Keep valuables, documents, medication and chargers with you on the day.
If anything changes, such as a completion date moving or extra items appearing, tell us as soon as you can and we'll update the plan.
