Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For

Our furniture removals in Greenwich are designed for:

• Homeowners moving within Greenwich or elsewhere in the UK
• Renters changing flats, house shares or studios
• Landlords furnishing or clearing rental properties
• Businesses relocating offices, shops or studios
• Students moving into or out of halls and shared houses

From full household moves to a few key pieces, we tailor the service to what you actually need.

What Our Furniture Removals Service Includes

We move almost all types of household and office furniture, including:

• Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
• Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
• Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
• Desks, office chairs, filing cabinets and shelving
• TV units, bookcases and occasional furniture
• Flat-pack furniture, dismantled and reassembled where required
• Garden furniture, light outdoor items and small barbecues (clean and empty)

Items Typically Excluded

For safety, insurance and legal reasons, some items are excluded or require prior agreement:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint, solvents)
• Unboxed loose liquids or food items
• Very high-value artwork, jewellery or cash (these should be moved personally)
• Commercial machinery or industrial equipment
• Pianos and very heavy safes – possible by arrangement with the right equipment

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, we will advise clearly during the survey.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Clear Quotation

You can contact Greenwich Movers by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few questions about the properties, access, floors, parking and what furniture you need moved. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining what is included so you know exactly what to expect.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger moves, we arrange a professional survey. This can be done by video call or in person in Greenwich and nearby areas. The survey allows us to assess access, volume, any dismantling required, special protection needs and any restrictions. This ensures we send the right size vehicle, the right number of movers and any necessary equipment.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – we pack your smaller items and prepare all furniture
• Furniture-only preparation – we protect, dismantle and wrap furniture while you pack personal items
• Self-packing – you pack everything; we still protect furniture items for transport

We use high-quality blankets, covers and professional packing materials to minimise the risk of damage in transit.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time in a suitable, well-maintained removals vehicle. We protect floors and doorways where needed, then carefully carry, wrap and secure your furniture in the lorry or van. Items are strapped and positioned to prevent movement. We then transport your furniture safely to your new address, whether within Greenwich or further afield.

5. Unloading & Placement

At delivery, we unload everything into the rooms you choose. Larger items are reassembled if agreed in advance, and we ensure furniture is placed where you want it so you can settle in more quickly. We remove our packing materials and leave your property as tidy as possible.

Transparent Furniture Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our furniture removals in Greenwich are usually based on:

• The volume and type of furniture
• Access at both addresses (floors, lifts, walking distances)
• Distance between properties
• Number of movers required
• Any additional services such as packing or dismantling

Your written quotation sets out exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges for stairs or basic dismantling if these have been discussed in advance.

Why Choose Professional Furniture Removals over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company provides tangible benefits over tackling furniture moves yourself or using a casual man-and-van service:

• Trained crews know how to move bulky items safely, protecting both your furniture and your property
• Proper tools, trolleys and protective materials reduce the risk of damage
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover give you protection that DIY does not
• Efficient loading saves time and means fewer journeys
• Reduced risk of personal injury from lifting heavy or awkward items

With Greenwich Movers, you get a reliable, accountable service rather than taking chances with unvetted help.

Insurance & Professional Standards

As a responsible removals company, we maintain robust insurance and operational standards:

• Goods in transit insurance for your furniture while it is being moved
• Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained moving teams experienced in safe handling and lifting
• Regularly maintained vehicles, equipped for furniture transport
• Clear paperwork and written confirmations for your records

We will explain our cover in plain language and are happy to answer any questions before you book.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every item as if it were our own. Sofas and mattresses can be covered, delicate surfaces are wrapped, and we take care in tight spaces to avoid scuffs or scrapes. Where possible, we use reusable pads, blankets and crates to cut down on single-use materials. Cardboard and plastics from new packaging are recycled wherever local facilities allow, helping to keep your move as sustainable as possible.

Real-World Furniture Removals Use Cases

Moving House in Greenwich

From family homes near Greenwich Park to riverside apartments, we regularly handle full household moves. We can dismantle and reassemble beds and wardrobes, move large corner sofas and manage awkward access, allowing you to focus on the rest of your move.

Office and Business Relocations

For businesses, we move desks, chairs, filing cabinets, meeting tables and reception furniture with minimal disruption. We can work outside of standard business hours where necessary to keep downtime low.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

When plans change quickly – a tenancy ending sooner than expected or a last-minute completion – we do our best to offer urgent or same-day furniture removals in Greenwich where our schedule allows. Early contact helps, but we will always be honest about what is realistically achievable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do furniture removals in Greenwich cost?

Costs depend on the volume and type of furniture, access at each property, travel distance and the amount of labour required. A small local move of just a few items will be considerably cheaper than a full household removal with packing. After a brief discussion, and survey if required, we provide a fixed quotation so you know the full cost before booking. There are no hidden extras for stairs or basic dismantling if these were agreed in advance.

Can you provide same-day or urgent furniture removals?

We can often help with short-notice or urgent moves in and around Greenwich, depending on vehicle and crew availability. Same-day moves are more likely to be possible on weekdays outside of peak times and for smaller jobs. The best approach is to call us as soon as you know you need help. We will check our schedule, explain what we can realistically offer and provide a clear price before you decide.

Are my items insured during the move?

Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your furniture while it is being moved, as well as public liability cover for accidental damage to property or injury to third parties. Our team is trained to minimise the risk of damage, and we use proper protection and handling techniques. We will explain the key terms and limits of our cover in simple language before you book, so you understand exactly how you are protected.

What is included in your furniture removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture between the agreed addresses, plus basic protection with blankets and covers. Where organised in advance, we can also dismantle and reassemble certain items, protect carpets and doorways, and provide packing for smaller items. We place furniture into your chosen rooms and remove our materials at the end of the move. Anything additional, such as full packing or storage, will be clearly listed in your quotation.

How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?

A professional removals company like Greenwich Movers provides trained staff, proper equipment, written quotations and full insurance cover. Vehicles are configured for furniture transport, and teams are experienced in safely handling heavy and awkward items. Many casual man-and-van services do not offer adequate insurance or formal paperwork, and may work with limited equipment. With us, you know who is turning up, what they will do and how your belongings are protected, reducing both risk and stress.

How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?

For peak periods, such as Fridays and month ends, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, particularly for full household moves. For smaller furniture-only jobs within Greenwich, we can sometimes arrange moves with just a few days’ notice, and occasionally even same-day. The earlier you contact us, the more choice you will have on dates and times, but we will always try to accommodate last-minute requirements where our schedule allows.
