Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with details of your move: addresses, access, list of furniture, dates and any special requirements. We will ask a few practical questions to understand the size and complexity of the job and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we may carry out a quick video or onsite survey. This helps us see access, staircases, lifts and parking, and confirm the number of movers and size of vehicle needed. A proper survey means fewer surprises on the day and a smoother move.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to have us do the packing or you can pack smaller items yourself. For furniture removals we typically:
- Protect sofas and mattresses with covers
- Wrap delicate surfaces and glass in padded blankets
- Secure doors and drawers with appropriate wrapping
- Dismantle larger items where required and agreed
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time, walks through the plan with you and then begins loading. We use correct lifting techniques and equipment to avoid damage or injury. Items are carefully arranged and secured in the van to prevent movement during transit. We then transport your furniture directly to the new address or storage location.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination we unload your furniture and place it in the rooms you specify. If we dismantled furniture as part of the service, we will reassemble it where agreed. We carry out a final check with you before we leave to make sure you are happy with placement and that nothing is missing.
Transparent Furniture Removals Pricing
Our pricing is straightforward and based on the time, labour and vehicle size required. We typically price furniture removals in Colliers Wood either as a fixed price for the entire job or an hourly rate for smaller, flexible moves.
Your quote will clearly state what is included, such as number of movers, travel time, and any packing or dismantling agreed. There are no hidden extras – any possible additional charges (for example congestion or parking fees) are discussed in advance wherever they apply.
To provide an accurate cost, we need honest information about the volume of furniture, stairs, lift access and walking distances from property to van. This allows us to send the right team and avoid last-minute changes on the day.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Using a professional removals service like Man with Van Colliers Wood offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:
- Safety – Trained movers reduce the risk of injury from heavy lifting.
- Protection – Proper equipment and packing minimise damage to furniture and property.
- Efficiency – Experienced teams load and unload quickly, saving you time.
- Reliability – Confirmed bookings, punctual arrivals and clear communication.
- Insurance – Your belongings are covered, unlike many informal options.
When you factor in van hire, fuel, lost time and the risk of damage or injury, professional furniture removals are often better value than DIY.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously. Man with Van Colliers Wood is:
- Fully insured with goods in transit insurance for your furniture while it is being moved
- Covered by public liability insurance for work in and around your property
- Staffed by trained, experienced movers using correct handling techniques
We follow sensible industry best practice for loading, securing and transporting items. Our aim is to provide a dependable service that you can trust with valuable and sentimental furniture.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your belongings starts with good preparation. We use padded blankets, covers and straps to protect furniture and avoid damage to walls, floors and doorways. Our vans are clean, dry and maintained for safe transport.
We also consider the environmental impact of removals work. Wherever practical we:
- Use reusable blankets and protective materials rather than disposable options
- Plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Colliers Wood cost?
The cost depends on the number and size of items, access at each property, distance travelled and whether packing or dismantling is required. Smaller moves within Colliers Wood may be priced at an hourly rate, while full property moves are usually a fixed quote. To give an accurate figure we need a list of furniture, addresses and any relevant details about stairs, lifts or parking. Once we have this information, we provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras.
Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or short-notice furniture removals in and around Colliers Wood. Availability tends to be better on weekdays and outside the busiest moving dates. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible with full details of what needs moving and where. We will let you know straight away what we can do, any time constraints, and confirm costs before you commit to a booking.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your furniture while it is being transported, and public liability cover for work in and around your property. This insurance is intended for unforeseen incidents rather than pre-existing damage or inadequate packing done by others. We will explain the key terms when you book, and you are welcome to ask about cover limits for high-value items so we can advise on any extra precautions needed.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, safe transport and unloading of your furniture between the agreed addresses. It also covers basic protection such as blankets and straps, and placing items in the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing of smaller items, supply of boxes and materials, and dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture where agreed in advance. Parking costs, congestion or toll charges are either built into the quote or clearly listed so you know exactly what you are paying for.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may simply provide a driver and vehicle, often without formal training, proper insurance or equipment. Our service is a structured, professional removals operation with trained staff, fully insured cover, careful planning and appropriate tools. We assess access, protect your furniture and property, and provide written confirmation of your booking and price. This reduces the risk of damage, delays or cancellations and offers far greater peace of mind, especially for valuable or sentimental items.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as you know your moving day, particularly for Fridays, month-end and peak summer periods. A week or two in advance is ideal for most moves, though we can often accommodate shorter notice, especially for smaller jobs within Colliers Wood. Even if your date is not fully confirmed, it is helpful to make an initial enquiry so we can pencil you in and discuss options if things change.
