Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving within Streatham, we move full household furniture safely and efficiently, protecting floors, bannisters and doors as we go.
Renters
If you are moving between rented properties, we can move your furniture quickly and carefully to help you hand back your keys on time and leave your current place in good condition.
Landlords
We work with landlords to remove, relocate or replace furnishings between tenancies, clear out old furniture and set up fully furnished lets, all carried out by professional movers.
Businesses
From small offices to retail spaces, we move desks, chairs, cabinets and display units with minimal downtime. We can schedule work outside your normal operating hours where needed.
Students
Students moving to or from Streatham with a smaller amount of furniture can still benefit from a reliable, fully insured removals team rather than relying on lifts from friends.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Included Items
Our furniture removals typically cover:
- Standard household and office furniture
- Flat-pack furniture (dismantled or assembled)
- Upright pianos and heavier pieces (by prior arrangement)
- Garden furniture and outdoor seating
- Wardrobes and large units (with dismantling if required)
Excluded or Restricted Items
For safety and insurance reasons, we normally do not move:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, paint, chemicals, gas bottles)
- Illegal or contraband items
- Live animals
- High-value jewellery, cash or important documents (these are best carried personally)
- Heavy safes or specialist machinery without prior agreement
If you have any unusual or especially heavy furniture, mention it during your enquiry so we can advise and plan properly.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your move: addresses, access, the furniture you need moved and your preferred dates. Based on this, we provide a clear quotation with no hidden extras, explaining exactly what is included.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves or more complex properties, we carry out a survey, either by video call or in person. This lets us assess access, stairways, parking and the volume of furniture accurately so we can allocate the right team, vehicle and equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day, or beforehand if arranged, we protect your furniture with padded covers, blankets and shrink wrap where needed. If you have added our packing or dismantling and reassembly service, we will carefully take down beds, wardrobes or other items and ensure all fixtures are kept together.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team load your furniture in a planned order, securing every item with straps to prevent movement in transit. We handle all heavy lifting and navigate stairs and tight corners safely. Your furniture is then transported directly to your new address using our sign-written vehicles.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we place furniture exactly where you want it in each room. If we dismantled items, we reassemble them as agreed. Before we leave, we do a final walk-through with you to ensure everything is in the right place and you are happy with the result.
Transparent Furniture Removals Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- The quantity and type of furniture to be moved
- Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, parking)
- Distance between addresses
- Any additional services (packing, dismantling, storage)
- Time or day (weekends or evenings if requested)
Once we have the key information, we provide a written quotation explaining what is included. If your requirements change, we update the quote so you always know where you stand.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Moving furniture yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van may appear cheaper, but it often comes with hidden costs and risks. With Streatham Movers you benefit from:
- Fully insured service with goods in transit and public liability cover
- Trained teams experienced in safe lifting and handling
- Proper equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps and protective covers
- Reliable arrival times and confirmed bookings
- Reduced risk of damage to your furniture and property
DIY moves and informal services can leave you paying out for damage, injury or delays. A professional removals company manages the whole process safely and efficiently.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Streatham Movers operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your furniture while it is being moved
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting and handling methods
- Regularly maintained vehicles and quality moving equipment
Details of our cover are available on request, and we are always happy to explain how protection applies to your particular move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your furniture as if it were our own. That means taking the time to plan routes through the property, protecting walls, bannisters and floors, and using appropriate coverings on every move.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible we:
- Use reusable protective materials and durable moving blankets
- Plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Reuse or recycle packing materials responsibly
This approach helps protect both your belongings and the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Streatham cost?
The cost depends mainly on how much furniture you have, the access at each property and the distance between addresses. Smaller moves within Streatham can often be completed within a few hours, while full household or office moves will take longer and require a larger team. Once you provide details, we offer a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden charges. If you need optional extras such as packing, dismantling or storage, we include these in the quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Can you handle same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Streatham. This is more likely on weekdays and outside peak moving periods. Contact us as early as possible with your requirements, including the list of furniture, addresses and timing. We will confirm availability, provide a price and explain what we can realistically achieve on the day. Even for urgent work, we still use our usual protective equipment and professional standards to keep your furniture safe.
What insurance cover do you provide for furniture removals?
We provide goods in transit insurance to protect your furniture while it is being moved and public liability cover for work on your premises. This means that, subject to policy terms and conditions, your items are protected against loss or damage while under our care, and you have reassurance in the rare event of an incident at your property. If you have very high-value or specialist pieces, let us know in advance so we can advise on cover limits and any additional precautions.
What is normally included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture between the agreed addresses, carried out by a trained team using appropriate protective materials. We place items into the rooms you specify and position larger pieces where you want them. Optional extras, such as packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, or storage, can be added to suit your needs. We always confirm exactly what is included in writing before the move, so there are no surprises on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals company offers more than just a vehicle and a driver. You benefit from fully insured cover, trained staff, proper lifting techniques, quality protective equipment and reliable scheduling. We assess your move in advance, plan for access and parking, and send the right size team and vehicle. A casual man-and-van may not have the same insurance, experience or resources, which can increase the risk of damage, delays or unexpected extra costs.
How far in advance should I book furniture removals?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you know your moving date, especially if you are moving at the end of the month, on a Friday or during school holidays. One to two weeks’ notice is usually enough for smaller moves, while larger or more complex moves benefit from more lead time. That said, we do our best to help with short-notice moves where our schedule allows, so it is always worth getting in touch even if your date is very soon.
