Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are moving house in or out of Colliers Wood, we can move everything from your living room suite and wardrobes to beds, dining furniture and garden pieces. We regularly support families upgrading, downsizing or relocating out of London.

Renters

Tenants often have a mix of their own furniture and landlord-supplied items. We help you move your belongings efficiently, protecting the property to avoid scuffs and damage that could affect your deposit.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We assist landlords and agents with furnished and part-furnished property clearances, end-of-tenancy furniture swaps, and storage moves. We understand time pressures and can often arrange short-notice appointments.

Businesses

Our commercial furniture removals cover office desks and chairs, meeting tables, filing cabinets, reception furniture and more. We work to your schedule, including evenings or weekends where possible, to minimise disruption to your business.

Students

Students moving into or out of Colliers Wood accommodation benefit from our smaller-load furniture removals. We can move beds, desks, chairs and a few key items cost-effectively, without you needing to hire and drive a van.

What Our Furniture Removals Include

Items Commonly Included

• Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
• Dining tables, chairs and bar stools
• Wardrobes, chests of drawers and bedside tables
• Beds, mattresses, bunk beds and frames
• Desks, office chairs and filing cabinets
• TV units, sideboards, bookcases and shelving
• Garden furniture and outdoor storage units
• Flat-pack furniture (dismantled or assembled)

Items We Typically Exclude

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or require special arrangement:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Illegal or stolen goods
• Live animals or pets
• Perishable or frozen food for long-distance moves
• Very high-value items without prior declaration (e.g. fine art, jewellery)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will clarify this during the survey and advise on the safest way to handle it.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with basic details: addresses, access, list of furniture, and preferred dates. We ask clear, practical questions so we can give an accurate, no-obligation quote. Pricing is transparent and sent to you in writing.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex furniture removals, we arrange a short onsite or video survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and any items needing dismantling. It also helps us choose the right size vehicle and number of movers.

3. Packing & Preparation

On moving day, or beforehand if arranged, we carefully protect your furniture using professional materials: padded covers, blankets, shrink-wrap and floor protectors. We can also provide a dismantling and reassembly service for beds, wardrobes and larger pieces where required.

4. Loading & Transport

Our team loads your furniture methodically, securing everything using straps and tie points in our purpose-built removals vehicles. We plan the journey to avoid unnecessary delays and drive with care. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while in our vehicles.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new property, we place each item in the rooms you specify, so you don’t have to move heavy furniture yourself afterwards. If we have dismantled items, we reassemble them as agreed and remove any packing materials we have supplied.

Transparent Furniture Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our furniture removal quotes are based on:

• Volume and type of furniture
• Distance between addresses
• Access difficulties (stairs, parking, long carries)
• Number of movers required
• Additional services (dismantling, packing, storage)

For straightforward jobs we may offer a fixed price. For more flexible requirements, an hourly rate might be more appropriate. In all cases, we explain exactly what is included so you can budget with confidence.

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

Hiring a van and asking friends, or booking a casual man-and-van, can seem cheaper at first glance. But when you factor in the risk of damage, personal injury, delays and extra trips, it often proves a false economy.

With Colliers Wood Movers you benefit from:

• Trained movers who know safe lifting techniques
• Correct tools for dismantling and reassembly
• Specialist protective covers and equipment
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Reliable timings and proper planning

This significantly reduces the chance of damaged furniture, scratched walls or injuries, and helps your move run on time.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to high professional standards:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your furniture while it is in our vehicles
• Public liability cover for work in and around your property
• Trained, experienced crews used to handling heavy and delicate items
• Regularly maintained, clean vehicles equipped for removals work

Policy details and limits can be provided on request. We will always explain how our insurance applies and any items or circumstances that may need special arrangements.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your furniture and property with care. That means using floor and door protectors, wrapping vulnerable items, and loading sensibly rather than rushing. We also aim to work in a way that is as sustainable as practical:

• Reusable covers and blankets instead of excessive single-use plastics
• Efficient route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Encouraging re-use of boxes and materials where safe

Our focus is on combining high standards of protection with sensible, environmentally aware working practices.

Real-World Furniture Removal Use Cases

Moving House in Colliers Wood

Families and individuals moving between properties in Colliers Wood and beyond rely on us to move their full range of furniture in a single, well-organised move. We co-ordinate timings with key collections and completion where possible.

Office Relocation

Businesses moving within South West London use us to relocate desks, chairs, meeting tables and storage. We can dismantle bench desks, protect IT-related furniture, and reassemble at the new office layout as agreed.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves have to happen quickly: landlord requests, last-minute tenancy changes or rapid office reshuffles. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day furniture removals to help you respond to unexpected situations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does furniture removal in Colliers Wood cost?

The cost depends on how much furniture you have, the distance between addresses, access at each property and whether you need extra services such as dismantling or packing. Smaller local moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while larger jobs are often priced as a fixed quote. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear written estimate outlining exactly what is included so you can compare like-for-like and avoid surprises on moving day.

Can you handle same-day or urgent furniture removals?

Where our schedule allows, we can arrange same-day or short-notice furniture removals in Colliers Wood and nearby areas. Availability will depend on the size of the job, the time of your enquiry and existing bookings. It is always best to call us as soon as you know you need to move; we will be honest about what we can realistically do and may suggest practical alternatives, such as a part move or temporary storage, if a full move is not feasible that day.

Are my items insured during the move?

Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your property. Insurance is designed to protect against unforeseen incidents, not general wear and tear, so it’s important that we know about any particularly high-value or delicate items in advance. We will explain our cover limits, any exclusions, and how to declare special items so you can be confident your belongings are appropriately protected.

What is included in your furniture removals service?

Our core service includes supplying a trained team, a suitably sized removals vehicle, protective blankets and covers, careful loading, safe transport and placement of your furniture in the rooms you choose at the destination. If requested in advance, we can also provide dismantling and reassembly of beds and certain other items. Packing of smaller belongings, disposal of unwanted furniture and storage can be added as optional services, which we will set out clearly in your written quotation.

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

A casual man-and-van may be fine for a couple of boxes, but for furniture it often lacks the protection, insurance and manpower you need. Our service uses trained staff, purpose-built removals vehicles, professional protective materials and structured planning. We carry goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, provide written quotes and booking confirmations, and take responsibility for your items from door to door. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and hidden costs, and gives you a more predictable moving experience.

How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?

For most moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or on a weekend, when demand is higher. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, arrange parking suspensions where required and plan the right crew and vehicle. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so if you need to move sooner, contact us and we will do our best to fit you in.
