House Removals
House Removals Haringey – Haringey Movers
At Haringey Movers, we provide straightforward, well-organised house removals across Haringey and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving homes of all sizes, we focus on careful planning, clear communication and safe handling, so your move day runs calmly and on time.
What Our House Removals Service Includes
Our Haringey house removals service is designed to cover everything you reasonably need for a smooth move. We can provide:
- Full house removals – flats, maisonettes, terraced, semi-detached and detached homes
- Part-load & small moves – room moves, studio flats, or a few large items
- Packing and unpacking – full or partial packing, including fragile-only services
- Dismantling & reassembly of beds, wardrobes and standard flat-pack furniture
- Special care for fragile items such as glass, artwork, mirrors and antiques
- Short-term storage arranged where needed between move-out and move-in dates
Every move is different, so we tailor our service to your property, your belongings and your timing, rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all package.
Local Haringey Expertise
Working day in, day out across Haringey means we understand local streets, parking restrictions and access issues. From period terraces in Crouch End to modern flats near Wood Green, we know:
- How to handle tight stairwells and communal entrances
- Where timed loading bays and controlled parking zones apply
- When to avoid peak traffic or event congestion
This local knowledge allows us to plan realistic timings and choose suitable vehicles, helping reduce stress and delays on move day.
Who Our House Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of Haringey, we handle complete household moves, including large furniture, white goods and garden items. We co-ordinate closely with your completion time so you are out on schedule and in your new property as soon as keys are released.
Renters
We help tenants move between rented properties with minimum disruption. Our team is careful with stairwells, lifts and communal areas to keep landlords and building managers happy, and we can work within tight check-out and inventory timeslots.
Landlords
We assist landlords and agents with clearance and removals when tenants move out, including removing landlord-owned furniture, moving items into storage, or preparing furnished properties for new tenants.
Businesses
For small businesses and home offices, we provide office and home office removals. This includes the careful transport of desks, filing cabinets, IT equipment and archive boxes, with protection for sensitive equipment and confidential materials.
Students
We regularly support students moving into or out of accommodation. Our student removals are ideal for shared houses, halls of residence and short-term lets, often as small or part-load moves to keep costs sensible.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
Most everyday household items are covered by our standard removals service, such as:
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers (disconnected)
- Clothing, books, toys and personal belongings
- Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment, small appliances
- Outdoor items – garden furniture, barbecues (clean), bikes and tools
Items Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, some items are excluded or must be agreed in advance:
- Hazardous materials – paint, fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals and explosives
- Live animals and pets
- Illegal items or substances
- Very high-value items (artwork, jewellery, collections) without prior declaration
- Commercial machinery or industrial equipment outside normal household use
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will clarify during the survey so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with basic details: current address, destination, property size, key dates and any special items. We provide an initial estimate and explain the next steps clearly, including likely costs and timescales based on the information you give us.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
We then arrange a virtual or onsite survey to assess access, volume of goods and any particular challenges. This is where we identify parking requirements, fragile items and dismantling needs. Based on this, we confirm a fixed quotation so you know exactly what is included.
3. Packing & Preparation
Depending on your preference, we can provide:
- Full packing service – we pack everything, label boxes and supply materials
- Partial or fragile-only packing – you pack most items; we handle breakables
- Self-packing – we supply materials and guidance for you to pack at your own pace
We also dismantle agreed furniture and prepare appliances (once disconnected by a qualified person).
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained, professional team arrives at the agreed time, protects floors and key walkways, and systematically loads your belongings. Everything is secured in the vehicle using blankets, straps and appropriate stacking. We then transport your goods directly to your new address, keeping you informed of progress.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new property, we unload room by room, placing furniture where you want it and reassembling previously dismantled items. We position labelled boxes in the correct rooms to make unpacking easier and take away any used moving blankets and equipment.
Transparent Pricing – How Our Costs Work
We do not believe in vague or open-ended pricing. Our quotations are based on:
- Volume of goods and number of rooms
- Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
- Travel distance between addresses
- Services required – packing, dismantling, evening or weekend work
Once we have completed your survey, we provide a clear written quote outlining what is included and any optional extras. There are no hidden charges for standard work; any possible additional costs (for example, unexpected waiting time) are explained in advance.
Why Choose Professional Movers Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Moving a house yourself can seem cheaper, but many people underestimate the time, effort and risk involved. With Haringey Movers you benefit from:
- Fully insured services that protect your belongings and property
- Trained moving teams who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and protective coverings
- Reliable timings rather than depending on borrowed helpers or informal arrangements
- Reduced risk of damage to walls, floors, stairwells and personal items
A casual man-and-van may be suitable for a handful of bags or a single item, but for a full home move, a structured, professional service is usually more efficient, safer and better value overall.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We take that responsibility seriously. Our cover includes:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your items while being moved
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property or injury
- Trained moving teams – staff are briefed, supervised and experienced with household moves
We can confirm levels of cover and policy details on request, and for high-value items we can advise on additional steps or specific declarations to ensure appropriate protection.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We approach every move as if we were handling our own belongings. Our teams use padded blankets, mattress covers, floor protection and proper securing straps as standard. Fragile items are wrapped and clearly labelled to ensure careful handling throughout.
We also aim to work in a more sustainable way by:
- Reusing strong cartons where appropriate rather than single-use boxes
- Recycling packing materials where possible
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
This balance of protection and sustainability helps reduce waste while still keeping your possessions safe.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House within Haringey
Many of our clients are simply moving between properties in the borough – for example, from a flat in Turnpike Lane to a house in Muswell Hill. We plan around local traffic patterns and parking so the move is completed within the day, often with packing carried out the day before.
Office and Home Office Relocations
We assist small businesses, freelancers and remote workers relocating their workspace. This can involve weekend or evening moves to avoid downtime, careful handling of IT equipment and clearly labelled crates so you can resume work quickly.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves cannot be planned months in advance. Where availability allows, we help with urgent relocations, such as last-minute tenancy changes or chain-related date shifts. While early booking is always better, we do our best to accommodate short-notice requests.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Haringey cost?
The cost depends mainly on the volume of your belongings, access at each property, the distance between addresses and whether you need packing. A small flat move within Haringey will naturally cost less than a large family home moving across the country. After a brief discussion and survey, we provide a clear, fixed quotation so you know exactly what you’ll pay. There are no hidden extras for standard work, and any potential additional charges, such as extended waiting time due to key delays, are explained in advance.
Can you do same-day or urgent removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can help with same-day or short-notice moves, particularly within Haringey and nearby areas. Availability depends on vehicle and crew scheduling, so the sooner you contact us, the better the chance we can fit you in. For urgent moves, we streamline the process: a quick assessment by phone or video, followed by a written confirmation of costs and timings. While we can’t guarantee same-day availability, we always explore practical options to support you.
What insurance cover do you provide?
We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved, as well as public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property or injury. Our policies are designed for professional removals work, giving a higher level of protection than most personal or informal arrangements. During quotation, we can confirm the precise cover limits and explain how they apply to your move. If you have particularly high-value items, we’ll discuss the best way to record and protect them so everything is appropriately covered.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transporting and unloading your household items between the agreed addresses, with basic protection such as blankets and securing straps. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble common furniture items if agreed beforehand. Optional extras include packing services, materials, storage, and out-of-hours moves. All inclusions are listed clearly in your written quotation, so you know exactly what we will do on the day and what would count as an additional, agreed service.
How is a professional removal different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van can be useful for very small moves, but a full household removal benefits from a structured, professional approach. We carry suitable insurance, use trained staff, employ proper equipment and follow a planned process from survey to completion. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute problems. With a man-and-van, you may need to do much more of the lifting yourself, supply materials, and accept less predictable timings or cover. For most full house moves, a professional removals service is safer, more efficient and better value in the long run.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
Ideally, you should book once you have a likely move date, usually a few weeks in advance. For peak periods such as Fridays, month-end and summer, earlier booking is strongly recommended to secure your preferred slot. That said, chains and contracts can change at short notice, so we build flexibility into our planning where possible. If your date is uncertain, we can pencil in a provisional booking and adjust as your situation becomes clearer, subject to availability.
