Who Our Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Edgware, we manage full household moves, including careful transport of furniture, appliances and personal belongings. We can also provide packing for fragile items and valuables.
Renters
If you’re moving between rented properties, we offer flexible, cost-conscious removals. We are used to handling shared houses, flats with limited access and strict move-out times set by letting agents or landlords.
Landlords
We assist landlords with tenant changeovers, end-of-tenancy clearances and moving in or out large items such as beds, wardrobes and white goods. We work efficiently to minimise void periods.
Businesses
From micro-businesses to small and medium-sized offices, we carry out office relocations, internal moves and equipment transfers. We can move desks, filing cabinets, IT equipment and archive boxes with minimal downtime.
Students
We regularly help students move into and out of halls, shared houses and studio flats. Our smaller-load services are ideal if you don’t have a full van’s worth of belongings but still need a reliable, fully insured removals team.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the key details of your move: current and new addresses, property size, date and any special requirements. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves or properties with tricky access, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volumes, stairs, parking and any dismantling work. The result is a more accurate quote and better planning on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack yourself, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team use strong boxes, wrapping materials and protective covers for furniture and mattresses. We label boxes clearly so items end up in the right rooms at your new property.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained crew arrive on time, protect floors and banisters where needed, and carefully load your belongings onto our vehicles. Everything is secured to prevent movement during transit. We then transport your items via the most efficient route.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. If we dismantled furniture at the collection address, we can reassemble it by prior arrangement. We carry out a final check with you before leaving.
Transparent Pricing and How Costs Are Calculated
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. The cost of your move typically depends on:
- Volume of items and size of property
- Distance between addresses
- Access issues (stairs, lifts, long walks, parking restrictions)
- Whether packing, materials or dismantling/reassembly are required
- Day and time of the move (weekends or evenings, if requested)
Your quote will clearly outline what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional costs (such as storage or extra stop-offs) are discussed and agreed in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Moving yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van can appear cheaper, but often leads to extra stress, delays and damage. By using a professional removals company like Removal Van Edgware, you benefit from:
- Experienced teams who move heavy and awkward items safely
- Proper equipment such as trolleys, blankets, straps and protective covers
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
- Efficient loading to reduce trips and save time
- Accountability and agreed timings, rather than "best efforts"
The result is a smoother, safer move with less risk to your possessions and far less physical strain on you.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised professional standards. For your peace of mind, we carry:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property against accidental damage
All moves are carried out by our own trained moving teams, not casual labour. Our staff are briefed on safe lifting techniques, careful handling of fragile items and respectful conduct in your home or workplace.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your belongings and your property are treated with care at every stage. We use thick furniture blankets, mattress and sofa covers, and floor protection where appropriate. Fragile items are wrapped and boxed securely to minimise the risk of damage.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible, we:
- Reuse strong packing materials and crates
- Encourage customers to return or recycle boxes
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
Our aim is to complete your move with *care* for your belongings while operating in a responsible, sustainable way.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal company in Edgware cost?
The cost of a removal in Edgware depends on several factors: the size of your property, the volume of items, distance between addresses, access conditions and whether you require packing or dismantling services. Smaller flat moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are typically quoted as a fixed price. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what is included and can budget with confidence.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent removals, depending on our schedule and the scale of the move. For smaller loads and local moves within Edgware, short-notice bookings are usually more feasible. For larger house or office relocations, urgent availability will depend on vehicle and crew capacity. The best approach is to call us as soon as you know you need to move; we will explain what’s possible and give you an honest answer about timings and costs.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles. In addition, we hold public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property. Insurance is not a substitute for careful handling, so our trained teams always aim to prevent issues before they arise. Full details of cover, including any limits or exclusions, are available on request and can be discussed when you receive your quote.
What is included in your removals service?
Our standard removals service includes a vehicle (or vehicles) of suitable size, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We bring blankets, straps and basic protection as standard. Optional extras include packing materials, a packing and unpacking service, and dismantling or reassembly of furniture, which can be added to your quote. We agree everything in advance so you are clear on what we will and will not be doing on move day.
How is a professional removal company different from a man-and-van?
A professional removal company offers structured, insured and planned moves, whereas many man-and-van services provide only basic transport. With us, you get trained staff, appropriate equipment, goods in transit insurance, and a clear agreement on timings and scope of work. We carry out surveys where needed, assess access, and allocate the right size vehicle and team. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected extra costs, providing a more reliable and less stressful moving experience.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Ideally, you should book your removal as soon as you have a confirmed move date. For busy periods such as weekends and month-ends, we recommend at least two to three weeks’ notice, especially for larger house or office moves. That said, we understand dates can change and sometimes moves come up at short notice. We will always try to accommodate you, but booking early gives you more choice of dates and times and allows us to plan your move in detail.
