What Our Furniture Removals Service Includes

Items Commonly Included

• Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
• Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chest of drawers
• Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
• Cupboards, bookcases and shelving units
• Office desks, filing cabinets and office chairs
• Garden furniture (weather permitting)

We use heavy-duty transit blankets, mattress protectors and straps to secure your items. All moves are covered by our goods in transit insurance, giving you added peace of mind.

Items We Cannot or May Not Move

To protect you, our team and your property, we may exclude:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
• High-value items requiring specialist movers (certain artwork, safes, pianos – by prior agreement only)
• Illegal, flammable or explosive items
• Animals or live plants in bulk (small plants may be possible if pre-agreed)

If you are unsure whether a particular item can be moved, we will advise during the enquiry or survey stage.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or through our website with details of what you need moved, from where to where, and your preferred dates. We will ask a few practical questions about access, parking and property type. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger or more complex furniture moves, we may carry out a short video or onsite survey. This lets us see staircases, lifts, tight corners and oversized items so we can allocate the right vehicle, people and equipment. It also gives you a chance to ask questions and flag any concerns.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can do your own packing of smaller items, or we can provide packing and preparation for furniture. This may include disassembling beds or tables, protecting glass and mirrors, wrapping delicate finishes and labelling items for specific rooms at the new address.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrive on time, walk through the job with you and then start carefully loading your furniture. We secure items in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while on the road.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload your furniture and place it in the rooms you specify. Where previously agreed, we can reassemble items such as beds and tables. Before we leave, we invite you to walk around and check you are happy with everything.

Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals in Bickley

We believe in clear, honest pricing. Most furniture removal jobs are priced either:

• By the hour – suitable for smaller or flexible moves
• As a fixed price – ideal for clearly defined moves or larger jobs

Your quote will explain:

• How many movers are included
• The size of vehicle(s)
• What is covered (loading, transport, unloading, basic protection)
• Any additional services (packing, dismantling, awkward access)

There are no hidden charges for stairs or standard walking distances. Any potential extras, such as congestion or parking charges, will be discussed upfront wherever possible.

Why Choose Professional Furniture Removals Over DIY

Attempting to move heavy furniture yourself or with an unqualified casual man-and-van can lead to damaged items, scratched walls, injuries and unexpected costs. A professional removal service offers:

• Trained moving teams who know how to lift, manoeuvre and protect furniture safely
• Specialist equipment such as trolleys, dollies, straps and protective covers
• Appropriate-sized vehicles designed for transporting furniture
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Planned routes and timings to reduce delays and stress

For valuable or sentimental furniture, the cost of proper handling and insurance is usually far less than the cost of repairs or replacement after a DIY attempt goes wrong.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Man With a Van Bickley operates to clear, professional standards. We carry:

• Goods in transit insurance for items we are moving
• Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property

Our teams are trained in safe lifting techniques, load securing and property protection. We take details of any existing marks or damage before the move, work carefully around walls, floors and doors, and communicate with you throughout. You receive a service based on respect for your belongings and your home or premises.

Care, Protection & Sustainability

We believe good removals are about more than just getting furniture from A to B. We focus on:

• Using protective blankets, covers and floor runners where required
• Planning safe routes through properties to avoid bumps and scrapes
• Consolidating loads and planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Reusing packing materials where appropriate and recycling responsibly

Looking after your furniture and the environment go hand in hand: careful planning reduces wasted trips, damage and the need for replacement items.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do furniture removals in Bickley cost?

Costs depend on the quantity and size of furniture, access at each property, distance travelled and whether you need extra services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller jobs may be charged by the hour, while larger or more defined moves are usually quoted at a fixed price. Once we understand your requirements, we will provide a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden fees. The best way to get an accurate cost is to contact us with a list of items and a brief description of both properties.

Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?

Where our schedule allows, we can often assist with same-day or urgent moves in Bickley and nearby areas. Availability will depend on how busy we are, the size of the job and the time of your enquiry. If you are facing a last-minute situation, call us as soon as possible with details of what needs moving and by when. We will be honest about what we can achieve and may suggest practical alternatives if a full service is not possible that day.

Are my items insured during the move?

Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our vehicle, and we also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to property. Insurance has sensible limits and conditions, so we will highlight anything that may require special attention, such as very high-value or unusual items. We handle your furniture carefully to avoid issues in the first place, but knowing you are insured adds an extra layer of reassurance throughout the move.

What is included in your furniture removal service?

Our standard service includes the vehicle, a trained moving team, protective blankets and equipment, loading at the collection address, transport and unloading at the destination. We place furniture in the rooms you specify and take basic care to protect floors, walls and doors. Optional extras such as packing, dismantling and reassembly can be added by arrangement. Parking costs, congestion charges or specialist services will always be discussed with you in advance wherever they may apply.

What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van often provides only transport and labour, with limited or no insurance, inconsistent training and little planning. Our service is a professional removal operation: we use appropriate vehicles, trained staff, proper equipment, and we carry goods in transit and public liability insurance. We survey more complex jobs, protect your furniture and property, and provide written confirmations and clear pricing. In short, you get a safer, more reliable and more accountable service for your furniture.

How far in advance should I book?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your furniture removal at least one to two weeks in advance, especially for weekends and month-end periods which are typically busier. However, we understand that moves are not always planned that far ahead, so we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where we can. Even if your dates are not fully confirmed, getting in touch early allows us to pencil you in and discuss the options.
