Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process

1. Enquiry & quote

Contact Battersea Movers by phone or online with a brief outline of what you need moved, from where to where, and your preferred dates. We will ask a few practical questions about access, floors, lifts and parking. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included and any optional extras.

2. Survey – virtual or onsite

For larger moves or more complex properties, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess staircases, door widths, lifts and parking restrictions anywhere in Battersea or nearby. A proper survey means fewer surprises on the day and ensures we send the right size vehicle, team and equipment.

3. Packing & preparation

You can pack smaller items yourself or add our professional packing service. For furniture-only moves, we focus on preparation: protecting delicate surfaces, wrapping sofas and mattresses, and dismantling agreed items. We come equipped with blankets, stretch wrap, mattress covers and furniture pads to prevent scuffs and damage.

4. Loading & transport

On moving day, our trained moving team arrives on time, introduces themselves and walks through the plan with you. We protect high-traffic areas where needed and then carefully load your furniture in a safe, logical order. Everything is secured using straps and padding inside the vehicle. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we travel between addresses.

5. Unloading & placement

At the destination, we unload and place each item in the rooms you choose. Where we have dismantled furniture, we reassemble it as agreed. We check that you are happy with the layout and that nothing is missing or damaged before we leave, and we take away any moving materials we brought with us.

Transparent Furniture Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing so you know exactly what you are paying for. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume and type of furniture
• Number of floors and presence of lifts
• Distance between properties
• Parking and access complexity in Battersea and at the destination
• Additional services such as packing, materials or storage

We offer both fixed-price quotes for defined jobs and hourly rates for smaller, flexible moves. All costs are discussed and agreed in writing before the job, with no hidden extras added at the end.

Why Choose Professional Furniture Removals Over DIY

Moving furniture yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, delays and unexpected costs. As a professional removals company in Battersea, we provide:

• Trained moving teams who know safe lifting techniques and complex stairwells
• Proper equipment – trolleys, ramps, straps and protective covers
• Insurance cover if something goes wrong
• Reliable timings and confirmed bookings, not last‑minute cancellations
• Less physical strain and stress for you, your family or your staff

In many cases, using a professional service protects the value of your furniture and your property, which can easily outweigh any small saving from doing it yourself.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Battersea Movers operates to high professional standards, with appropriate cover in place for your peace of mind.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your furniture while it is being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property or injury during the move
• Trained moving teams – staff are experienced, briefed on each job and follow safe working practices

We are happy to provide details of our insurance limits and terms on request, and we always encourage customers to check their own contents insurance as an additional safeguard.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your furniture and property as if it were our own. That means careful planning, respectful handling and sensible protection at every stage.

• Use of reusable protective blankets and pads to reduce waste
• Sturdy, reusable crates available for some moves, reducing cardboard use
• Efficient route planning across Battersea and London to minimise unnecessary mileage
• Regular vehicle maintenance for cleaner, safer transport
• Responsible disposal or recycling of any materials we provide that cannot be reused

Where possible, we work with local partners for storage and recycling, helping to cut down on landfill and unnecessary journeys.

Real-World Furniture Removals in Battersea

Moving house

From converted flats off Battersea Park Road to family homes near Clapham Common, we handle complete household furniture moves. We are used to tight staircases, controlled parking zones and busy one-way systems, and we plan the move around your completion or key‑collection times.

Office relocations

We support local Battersea businesses with office furniture removals, from a few desks to full-floor moves. We can schedule work outside normal hours to minimise disruption, and we label and position furniture so your team can get back to work quickly.

Urgent and short-notice moves

Sometimes things change quickly – a last‑minute tenancy start, unexpected eviction or emergency clearance. Subject to availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day furniture removals in Battersea and nearby areas. The more information you can give us up front, the faster we can respond.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do furniture removals in Battersea cost?

The cost of furniture removals in Battersea depends on how much furniture you have, access at both addresses, the distance travelled and any additional services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller local moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while larger, defined jobs are usually priced as a fixed quote. To keep things transparent, we itemise what is included and highlight any potential extras (for example, congestion charge or parking fees). The best way to get an accurate price is to contact us for a tailored quotation.

Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?

We can often help with same-day or short-notice furniture removals in Battersea, especially for smaller moves or single items. Availability depends on our existing bookings, vehicle size required and how complex the access is, so it is always worth calling us as early as possible. If we can accommodate you, we will give you a clear timeframe and cost before confirming the job. For very urgent moves, having photos and an accurate list of furniture helps us plan quickly and send the right team.

What insurance cover do you provide?

Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and limits. We also carry public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to third‑party property or injury during the removal. These policies are designed to complement, not replace, your own contents insurance, so we recommend you keep that in place. If you have particularly high‑value items, let us know in advance so we can discuss any additional precautions or documentation required.

What is included in a furniture removals service?

Our standard furniture removals service includes a trained team, a suitable vehicle, protective blankets and straps, careful loading, transport and unloading, plus placement of items in the rooms you choose. Basic dismantling and reassembly of standard furniture can be included if agreed beforehand. What is not automatically included is packing of smaller belongings, disconnection of appliances, specialist lifting equipment or disposal services, although we can sometimes arrange these at additional cost. Every booking is confirmed in writing so you know exactly what is covered before moving day.

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

A casual man-and-van service usually offers transport only, with limited equipment, minimal insurance and no guarantee of trained staff. A professional removals company like Battersea Movers provides experienced teams, proper protective materials, planning, and clear terms of service. We are fully insured for goods in transit and public liability, and we carry out surveys where needed to avoid issues on the day. For valuable furniture and busy London locations, this level of planning and protection significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected extra costs.

How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?

For moves within Battersea, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time slot. During peak periods – such as month‑end, Fridays and summer – slots can fill quickly, so earlier is always better. That said, we understand that plans change, and we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Once you know your likely dates and the rough volume of furniture, contact us to reserve a provisional slot and firm up the details nearer the time.
