Our furniture removals service is designed to take the strain out of moving heavy, bulky and valuable items. We can handle:

- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards

Every item is wrapped and protected using removal blankets, straps and, where needed, specialist covers. Our trained movers use correct lifting techniques and the right equipment to avoid damage to your furniture and your property.
Who Our Furniture Removals in Greenwich Are For
Homeowners
If you are completing on a sale in Greenwich or moving into your first home, we can move complete households or selected larger items. We coordinate timings with your key collection where possible to keep the day running smoothly.
Renters
Moving between rented properties in Greenwich often means tight stairwells, restricted parking and strict check-out times. We plan around these challenges, helping you move your furniture out without damage so you can focus on your inventory and cleaning.
Landlords
For landlords, we offer fast, efficient removal of unwanted or old furniture between tenancies, as well as delivery and placement of new furnishings. Ideal for HMO setups, serviced accommodation and student lets in and around Greenwich.
Businesses
Offices, shops, studios and clinics rely on us for office furniture removals, including desks, chairs, cabinets and reception furniture. We can work outside standard hours to reduce disruption to your staff and customers.
Students
Students in Greenwich halls or shared houses often need help moving beds, desks, wardrobes and sofas at the start or end of term. We provide cost-effective, smaller furniture moves with the same level of care as a full relocation.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Included Items
We routinely move:
- Standard household and office furniture
- Flat-pack furniture, assembled or disassembled
- Light commercial and reception furniture
- Garage and garden furniture (within reason)
Excluded or Restricted Items
For safety, insurance and legal reasons, some items are excluded or need prior discussion:
- Hazardous materials (paints, chemicals, gas bottles, fuel)
- Industrial machinery or extremely heavy safes
- Live animals or pets
- High-value antiques or artwork without prior agreement
- Pianos and very specialist items (possible by arrangement only)
If you are unsure about a particular item, mention it during the enquiry stage and we will confirm what is possible.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Man and a Van Greenwich by phone or online with details of your move: addresses, access, list of furniture and preferred dates. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, typically the same day. Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden charges for standard work.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves or where access might be tricky, we carry out a short video survey or an onsite visit in Greenwich. This allows us to assess parking, stairs, lifts and furniture sizes, and to decide how many movers and what size vehicle is required.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day we bring all necessary protection: removal blankets, mattress covers and tools for basic dismantling. If requested, we can also provide a packing service, carefully boxing smaller items and labelling room by room. Furniture that needs dismantling for safe transport will be taken apart and prepared.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional team loads your furniture methodically, using straps and padding to prevent movement in transit. We take care not to mark walls, doors or flooring while moving large pieces. Your items travel in clean, well-maintained vehicles under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload and place furniture in the rooms you specify. Items we dismantled are reassembled where agreed. Before leaving, we ask you to walk through the property with us to confirm that everything is in the right place and you are satisfied with the move.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals in Greenwich
We price furniture removals based on a few straightforward factors:
- Number and type of furniture items
- Distance between addresses
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, parking)
- Number of movers required
- Any additional services (packing, dismantling, disposal)
For smaller moves, we may work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Larger household or office furniture moves are usually priced as a fixed quote, so you know the cost in advance. All quotes clearly state what is included.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using an unregulated casual service:
- Trained staff who know how to lift, manoeuvre and protect bulky items
- Appropriate vehicles with securing points and protective equipment
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for peace of mind
- Reduced risk of personal injury or damage to your property
- Reliable timings and written confirmation of your booking
DIY moves often end up taking longer, require multiple trips and can lead to accidental damage. With Man and a Van Greenwich, your furniture is handled correctly from the start.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible removals company, we operate under clear, professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your furniture while it is in our vehicle
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property
- Trained and vetted moving teams with hands-on experience
- Use of appropriate protective materials and equipment on every job
We will explain what is and is not covered by our insurance, and we encourage you to keep any particularly valuable or fragile items highlighted in advance so we can give them extra attention.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your furniture represents a major investment, so we treat it accordingly. Corners, edges and delicate finishes are protected before moving, and we take time to plan the best route in and out of each property to avoid scrapes and knocks.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible we reuse protective materials, plan efficient routes around Greenwich to minimise unnecessary mileage, and, when requested, can arrange responsible recycling or disposal of unwanted furniture in line with local regulations.
Real-World Furniture Removal Scenarios
Moving House Within Greenwich
Typical house moves involve full sets of living room, bedroom and dining furniture. We coordinate loading and unloading around completion times and key handovers, keeping you informed throughout the day.
Office and Workspace Relocations
For offices, we move desks, chairs, filing cabinets, meeting tables and reception furniture. We can remove and relocate furniture in stages to keep critical areas functioning, and work early mornings, evenings or weekends when needed.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes circumstances change suddenly: a tenancy ending early, a sale completing faster than expected, or a last-minute delivery requirement. Where our schedule allows, we can provide urgent or same-day furniture removals in Greenwich, always maintaining our usual standards of care.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Greenwich cost?
The cost depends on the volume and type of furniture, access conditions and travel distance. Smaller jobs may be charged on an hourly basis with a minimum booking period, while larger household or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. To give an accurate figure we consider how many movers are required, any dismantling or reassembly, and whether packing is needed. Once we have all the details, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you will pay before you book.
Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice furniture removals in Greenwich, depending on our schedule and vehicle availability. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with a full description of the items, addresses and timings. We will let you know what is realistically achievable and provide a quote. Even on urgent jobs we still use proper protection and follow our usual standards, but flexibility may be limited during particularly busy periods.
Are my items insured during the move?
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. These policies are designed for normal household and office furniture moves. We will explain the key terms, limits and exclusions when you book. For especially high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional cover or a more specialist service. It is always wise to check your own home or business insurance as well, particularly for items kept in storage.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, secure transport and unloading of your furniture between the agreed addresses, plus basic protection using blankets and straps. We place items in the rooms you specify and can carry out simple dismantling and reassembly of common furniture where agreed in advance. Optional extras include a full or partial packing service, supply of packing materials, and responsible disposal of unwanted items. All inclusions are listed clearly on your written quote so you can see exactly what is covered on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a casual man-and-van?
A professional removals company offers structured planning, trained staff, proper equipment and full insurance, which many casual man-and-van operators do not provide. We survey tricky access in advance, bring the right number of movers, and use dedicated removal vehicles with securing points and protective materials. You receive written confirmation of your booking, clear pricing and support throughout. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute cancellations, giving you a smoother, more predictable moving experience.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For planned house moves or office relocations, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time slot. Peak periods such as month-end, Fridays and weekends fill up quickly in Greenwich. If your dates are not yet fixed, we can provide a provisional quote and then confirm once you have a firm schedule. We will always try to help with shorter notice moves, but booking earlier gives you more choice and makes planning your move much easier.
