Working day in, day out across Clapham means we understand local streets, parking challenges and building layouts. From Victorian terraces and mansion blocks to new-build apartments and commercial units, we know how to move large furniture through tight stairwells, communal areas and lifts without causing damage.

Who Our Furniture Removal Service Is For

Homeowners

Moving between houses in or out of Clapham? We can move your full household of furniture, from large wardrobes and beds to garden furniture and white goods, coordinating with your completion time and key handover.

Renters

If you are moving between rented flats or house shares, we handle moves of all sizes. We are used to navigating tight staircases, split-level flats and top-floor apartments, protecting common areas as we go.

Landlords

We assist landlords with clearing or installing furniture between tenancies, staging properties for letting, or removing unwanted items ahead of refurbishment.

Businesses

Our team supports offices, shops and other commercial premises needing office furniture removals, internal moves or relocation to new premises, with minimal downtime for your staff.

Students

We provide cost-effective moves for students in and around Clapham, moving beds, desks, small wardrobes and personal belongings between halls, shared houses and storage.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Our furniture removals service usually covers:

• Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
• Beds, mattresses and bedroom furniture
• Wardrobes, chests of drawers and bookcases

Items Usually Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement

For safety, legal or insurance reasons, there are some items we usually cannot carry, or which need prior discussion:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles in use, chemicals, paints, solvents)

If you are unsure about a particular item, please mention it during your enquiry so we can advise and, where possible, accommodate it.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details of your move: addresses, access information, dates and a list of main items. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume of furniture, distance, access complexity and any additional services required.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, stairwells, lift use and any items that may need dismantling. A proper survey helps avoid surprises on move day and ensures we send the right crew and vehicle.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – we pack your smaller items into boxes and wrap furniture as needed.
• Part packing – we pack only fragile or selected items.
• Self-packing – you pack your belongings; we supply materials on request.

All furniture is protected with padded blankets, covers and, where appropriate, disassembled to move safely.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained team arrives on time, carries out a brief walk-through and then starts loading. We protect floors and bannisters where needed, and pack the vehicle carefully to avoid movement in transit. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the road.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload systematically, placing furniture in the rooms you specify. Items we dismantled are reassembled where agreed, and we make sure everything is positioned safely before we leave. We can also remove our used packing materials for recycling or reuse.

Transparent Furniture Removals Pricing

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Your quote is based on:

• Volume and type of furniture
• Travel distance between addresses
• Access difficulty (stairs, lifts, long carries, restricted parking)
• Services required (packing, dismantling, evening or weekend work)

We provide fixed-price quotations for clearly defined jobs, so you know the cost before you book. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional charges, such as congestion or parking fees, are discussed in advance wherever possible.

Why Use Professional Furniture Removers Instead of DIY or Man-and-Van?

Using a professional removals company like Clapham Movers gives you several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van service:

• Experienced crews who know how to move heavy and delicate furniture safely
• Proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Specialist equipment – trolleys, straps, protective covers and padded blankets
• Planned timings to fit around your schedule and key handovers
• Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and to the properties
• Less physical strain and stress for you and your family or staff

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important. We operate to professional standards to protect them at every stage:

• Goods in transit insurance – protects your items while they are in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – in place for work in and around your home or business premises.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in lifting techniques, furniture handling and property protection.

We follow clear processes for inventory, loading and unloading, and we always encourage you to point out any particularly fragile or sentimental pieces so they receive extra care.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We handle your furniture as if it were our own. That means using quality protective materials, careful room-by-room labelling and logical loading so nothing is squashed or misplaced. Where possible, we use reusable padded covers, blankets and crates, reducing the need for single-use plastics.

Cardboard, paper and certain plastics from our packing services are separated for recycling. We plan routes sensibly to minimise unnecessary mileage and can advise on responsible disposal of unwanted furniture through reuse, donation or licensed recycling options.

Real-World Furniture Removal Use Cases

Moving Home in Clapham

From one-bedroom flats to large family houses, we regularly move households across Clapham and beyond. We coordinate with your removal date, work around lift bookings and building rules, and keep you informed throughout the day.

Office and Commercial Relocations

Businesses rely on us to move desks, meeting tables, storage units and office chairs with minimal downtime. We can work outside normal hours where agreed, and we label items clearly so your staff can settle back in quickly.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up quickly – a tenancy change, property chain shift or urgent clearance. Where we have availability, we offer short-notice or same-day furniture removals in and around Clapham, always explaining what is realistically achievable within the time frame.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do furniture removals in Clapham cost?

The cost depends mainly on how much furniture you have, the distance between properties and how easy access is at each address. Smaller local jobs, such as moving a few large items between flats, will cost less than a full household move. We provide clear, itemised quotes based on your specific requirements, so you know the price before you book. To get an accurate figure, share a list of the main items, your addresses, any stairs or parking issues, and whether you need packing or dismantling.

Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?

Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Clapham, depending on our schedule and crew availability. If you need a rapid move, contact us as early as possible with details of what needs moving, the addresses and your preferred time. We will confirm quickly what we can do and provide a realistic timeframe and cost. While we cannot guarantee last-minute availability every day, we always do our best to find a safe and practical solution for urgent situations.

Are my items insured during the move?

Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work on your premises. This protection is designed for standard household and office goods moved under normal conditions. Very high-value or unusual items may require advance notification so we can confirm cover or discuss additional arrangements. We will explain the main terms and any limits when you book, so you know exactly how your belongings are protected.

What is included in your furniture removal service?

Our standard service includes loading your furniture from the agreed pickup address, protecting items with blankets and covers, transporting them safely to the new property and unloading them into the rooms you specify. We can also dismantle and reassemble certain furniture, subject to prior agreement. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials and removal of used materials for recycling. We outline precisely what is included in your written quote, so there is no confusion on move day.

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

A professional removals service provides experienced, trained staff, suitable vehicles, protective equipment and formal insurance. We plan each move properly, survey access where needed and use systems to ensure items are handled safely and logically. Casual man-and-van providers may not offer the same level of insurance, protection or reliability, which can increase the risk of damage or delays. With Clapham Movers, you know who is turning up, when they will arrive and how your belongings will be cared for throughout.

How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?

Ideally, book as soon as you have a confirmed move date, particularly if you are moving at the end of the month, at weekends or during busy periods. For most standard moves, one to three weeks’ notice is ideal and gives us time to arrange surveys, parking and any packing you require. That said, we regularly handle short-notice moves when our schedule allows. Even if your date is close, it is still worth contacting us to see what options we can offer.
