Who Our Flat Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling or buying a flat in Haringey, timing and care are crucial. We work closely with you to coordinate key collection, loading and unloading, protecting your belongings and your building throughout.
Renters
When you are renting, you often have fixed move-out dates and inventory checks. We protect walls, doors and floors so you can hand the property back in good condition, reducing the risk of deposit disputes.
Landlords
We assist landlords with flat clearances, between-tenancy moves and furniture swaps. We can remove old furniture, relocate items between properties, and carefully install new pieces with minimum disruption to neighbours.
Businesses
Many small businesses operate from flats or mixed-use buildings. We offer office-to-flat moves, flat-based office relocations, and careful handling of IT equipment, documents and furniture.
Students
Students often move between halls, shared flats and home. Our student flat removals are ideal for smaller moves where you still want professional help, clear pricing and reliable timings.

Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details of your flat move: addresses, access information, floor level, lift availability and approximate contents. We provide a clear, no-obligation quotation based on the information you share.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Haringey. We assess access, parking, stairwells, lifts and your belongings, so we can allocate the right team, vehicle and time.
3. Packing & Preparation
Before moving day, you can choose to pack yourself or use our professional packing service. We can deliver boxes and materials in advance. On the day, we protect key areas of the building and prepare furniture for safe transport, disassembling items where needed.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team carefully loads your belongings, making best use of space while protecting fragile and high-value items. We work considerately around neighbours and building rules. Your goods are then transported directly to your new address in our fully insured removals vehicle.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled, and we will not leave until you are satisfied that everything has been delivered to the correct flat and positioned as agreed.
Transparent Pricing for Flat Removals in Haringey
We price flat moves clearly and fairly, based on:
- Size of your flat and volume of items
- Floor level and access (stairs, lift, distance to vehicle)
- Travel distance between properties
- Number of movers required
- Optional services such as packing or storage
You receive a written quotation outlining what is included so there are no surprises on the day. We do not use hidden add-ons; any potential extra charges (such as long carries or waiting time due to key delays) are explained in advance.
Why Choose Professional Flat Removals Instead of DIY
Flat moves can appear simple, but in reality they are often more complex than house moves due to access and building rules. Using a professional flat removals company like Haringey Movers offers clear advantages:
- Experienced handling of stairwells, lifts and tight turns
- Correct equipment to move heavy items safely
- Goods in transit insurance covering your belongings whilst we move them
- Reduced risk of damage to the building – important for deposits and building management
- Less physical strain and lower chance of injury for you
- Faster, more organised move, especially where timings are tight
Casual man-and-van operators may be cheap on paper but often lack insurance, training and proper equipment. If something goes wrong – damage, delays, injury – you can be left with the cost and stress. With us, you are working with a fully insured, established removals company that takes responsibility for doing the job properly.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Haringey Movers operates to clear professional standards so you know your flat move is in safe hands.
- Goods in transit insurance – protects your belongings while they are in our care and on our vehicles.
- Public liability cover – covers accidental damage to third-party property, such as communal areas in your building.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are regularly trained in safe lifting, packing, loading and customer care.
- Clean, well-maintained vehicles and equipment for reliable service.
We treat every flat move as if it were our own home – careful, respectful and well organised.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take the protection of your belongings and your building seriously:
- Use of blankets, straps and padding for furniture
- Protection for doors, floors and bannisters when required
- Careful planning for fragile and high-value items
We also aim to work sustainably where possible. We reuse sturdy boxes, minimise unnecessary journeys, and encourage customers to recycle or donate unwanted items before moving. Our vehicles are regularly maintained for efficiency, helping reduce our environmental footprint across Haringey.
Real-World Flat Removal Use Cases
Moving Home Within Haringey
If you are moving from one flat to another locally, we can often complete the entire move within a single day, even where there are stairs or multiple stops involved. We coordinate parking and access in advance to avoid delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a flat removal in Haringey cost?
The cost of a flat removal depends mainly on the size of your flat, volume of belongings, floor level, access and distance travelled. Studio and one-bedroom flats typically cost less and may be completed with a smaller team, while larger or top-floor flats require more time and staff. Optional services like packing or storage will also affect the price. We always provide a clear, written quotation after discussing your move or carrying out a survey, so you know exactly what to expect before you book.
Can you handle same-day or urgent flat moves?
We can often help with same-day or urgent flat removals in Haringey, depending on existing bookings and team availability. If your plans have changed suddenly or you have just received confirmation of keys or notice dates, contact us as soon as possible. We will be honest about what we can do and offer practical options. Even for urgent moves, we still work methodically and safely, ensuring access, parking and any building rules are considered before we start.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles and under our control, subject to standard terms and conditions. We also carry public liability cover, which protects against accidental damage to third-party property, such as communal areas in your building. During your quotation, we will explain the cover limits and any exclusions, and we are happy to answer questions about specific high-value items so you can move with confidence.
What exactly is included in your flat removals service?
Our standard flat removals service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained moving team, all loading and unloading, transport between addresses, use of protective blankets and equipment, and basic dismantling and reassembly of common furniture where requested. We position furniture and boxes into the rooms you choose in your new flat. Additional services such as full or part packing, supply of packing materials, storage and flat clearances can be added if needed. Everything that is included in your move will be clearly listed in your written quotation.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals service like Haringey Movers provides trained staff, proper planning, insurance cover and the right equipment for flat moves. Man-and-van options may work for very small, low-risk jobs, but often lack insurance, written terms, surveys and experience with complex access. With a professional company, you know who will turn up, what is included, and what happens if something goes wrong. For most flat moves – especially where there are stairs, lifts or valuable items – a structured removals service is usually safer and more reliable.
How far in advance should I book my flat removal?
Ideally, you should book your flat removal as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially for busy periods such as month-end, Fridays and weekends. Two to four weeks’ notice is common, but we regularly accommodate moves with shorter lead times where our schedule allows. Early booking gives you more choice of dates and allows us to arrange any required building permissions or parking suspensions. If your date is not yet fixed, we can still provide a provisional quote and advice so you are ready to move once things are confirmed.
