Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Moving to a new house in or out of Lewisham? We handle full household furniture removals, including dismantling and reassembly where needed, protecting floors and doorways and keeping your move on schedule.

Renters

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or changing area, we help tenants move furniture between rented properties with minimal disruption and no unnecessary damage risks to walls, doors or stairwells.

Landlords

We work with landlords to clear or part-clear furnished and part-furnished properties, move items between lets, and remove outdated furniture ready for replacement.

Businesses

From small offices and shops to home-based businesses, we move desks, cabinets, shelving, display units and other key furniture items. We plan carefully to reduce downtime and keep your operations running.

Students

We help students move essential furniture and belongings between halls, shared houses and storage. Our pricing for smaller loads is straightforward and fair, ideal for tight student budgets.

What We Can Move

Our team is trained and equipped to move a wide range of household and commercial furniture, including:

• Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
• Beds, mattresses and bedroom furniture
• Wardrobes, chest of drawers and bedside tables
• Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
• Desks, office chairs and filing cabinets
• Bookcases, shelving units and storage units
• TV units, coffee tables and occasional furniture
• Flat-pack furniture (dismantled or assembled)

We also handle special care items such as glass-fronted cabinets, antique furniture and heavy solid wood pieces using additional protection and lifting equipment where appropriate.

What We Cannot Move

For safety, legal or insurance reasons, certain items are excluded or may require specialist contractors. As a guide, we do not move:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Industrial machinery or items beyond safe manual handling limits
• Unsecured pets or livestock
• Illegal items or goods of uncertain origin
• Large pianos or similar items without prior agreement and assessment

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise clearly during your quotation or survey so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with details of your move: addresses, access, furniture list and preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give. Pricing is transparent, with no hidden add-ons.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, staircases, lifts, parking, and any fragile or awkward items. The survey ensures we send the correct vehicle size, number of movers and equipment on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack smaller items yourself, or we can provide a packing service for an additional fee. For furniture, we carefully prepare everything for transport: removing loose parts, protecting delicate surfaces, and wrapping items as needed. Mattresses, sofas and polished surfaces are protected to reduce the risk of marks and scuffs.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, introduces themselves, and walks through the plan with you. We protect floors and banisters where needed, then load the vehicle methodically to minimise movement in transit. Your furniture is transported in a suitable, well-maintained vehicle driven by experienced staff.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your destination, we unload your furniture and place it in the rooms you specify. Where agreed in advance, we can reassemble beds, tables and similar items. Before we leave, we check that everything is where you want it and that you are satisfied with the work carried out.

Transparent Furniture Removals Pricing

We believe in fair, upfront pricing. Our quotes are typically based on a combination of:

• Volume and type of furniture
• Number of movers required
• Travel distance and access complexity
• Any optional services (packing, dismantling, reassembly)

We will explain exactly what is included so you can compare like-for-like with other providers. If your requirements change before moving day, we update the quote and agree any price variation in advance.

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

Attempting to move heavy furniture yourself, or relying on an unregulated casual service, can lead to damaged items, injuries, or unexpected extra charges. With a professional removals company:

• Your belongings are handled by trained movers
• Appropriate vehicles, trolleys and protective materials are used
• You benefit from goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Timescales and pricing are agreed in writing
• Issues are dealt with through clear processes, not on the spot arguments

For most customers, the small saving of a DIY or casual approach is quickly outweighed by the risks to both property and personal safety.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man With a Van Lewisham operates to clear standards of care and accountability. We are:

• Fully insured with goods in transit cover for your belongings
• Protected by public liability insurance for work on your premises
• Staffed by trained movers who follow proven handling techniques

We treat your furniture as if it were our own, recording key details during the survey and taking extra care with fragile or valuable items. If something unexpected does happen, you are covered, and we deal with it transparently.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take a careful, practical approach to protecting both your belongings and the environment:

• Use of reusable padded covers and blankets rather than excessive single-use plastics
• Thoughtful loading to avoid crushing or rubbing damage
• Planning routes to minimise unnecessary mileage where realistic
• Maintaining vehicles properly to reduce emissions and breakdowns

Where cardboard boxes and packing materials are used, we encourage reuse and responsible recycling. Our aim is to balance effective protection with sensible, sustainable practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do furniture removals in Lewisham cost?

The cost depends on the amount and type of furniture, access at each property, distance between addresses, and whether you need extra services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while larger moves are usually priced as a fixed job. Once we have your details, we provide a clear written quote with everything included, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you book.

Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?

Where our schedule permits, we can handle same-day or short-notice furniture removals in Lewisham and nearby areas. Availability depends on existing bookings, vehicle capacity and the size of your move. For urgent jobs, it helps if you can provide photos or a clear list of items so we can assess quickly. Contact us as soon as possible with your details, and we will confirm honestly whether we can accommodate your timescale.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our vehicle, subject to standard terms and conditions, and our public liability cover applies while we are working at your property. This is in addition to the professional care our trained team takes with every item. We are happy to explain the cover in more detail before you book so you understand what is and is not included.

What exactly is included in your furniture removals service?

Our standard service includes supplying the vehicle, a trained moving team, protective blankets and basic furniture protection, loading at your current address, transport, and unloading/placement at your new address. On request, we can add services such as dismantling and reassembling furniture, packing and unpacking, and disposal of unwanted furniture. All inclusions will be listed clearly in your written quotation so you can see exactly what you are getting.

What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?

Many basic man-and-van services offer transport only, with limited or no insurance, variable reliability, and little planning. Our service is a structured, professional removals operation. We carry appropriate insurance, use trained staff, conduct surveys for larger moves, and provide written confirmations. We plan access, bring the right equipment, and take responsibility for your furniture from start to finish, reducing risk and stress for you.

How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?

For the best choice of dates, especially at busy times such as month-end and weekends, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy changes can shift, so we try to be flexible. If you have a provisional date, it is still worth contacting us early so we can pencil you in and then firm up the booking once your plans are confirmed.
