Piano Removals
Piano Removals in Haringey by Man and Van Haringey
Moving a piano safely needs more than just strength – it needs planning, technique and the right equipment. At Man and Van Haringey, we provide specialist piano removals across Haringey and the surrounding North London areas, carried out by experienced, trained movers who handle every instrument as if it were their own.
Specialist Piano Removal Services in Haringey
We move pianos for homes, schools, studios and venues throughout Haringey. Whether you are relocating a cherished family upright or a concert grand, our team understands the value – financial and sentimental – of your instrument.
Our piano removals service covers:
- Upright piano removals (including tall and studio uprights)
- Baby grand and grand piano removals
- Digital piano and stage piano moves
- Internal moves within the same property
- Short-distance and long-distance moves from Haringey
We use piano skids, padded covers, dollies, stair-climbers and protective wrapping to ensure safe movement in tight Haringey properties, from Victorian terraces and flats to modern apartments.
Local Piano Moving Expertise in Haringey
Based in Haringey, we know the local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. This local knowledge makes your move smoother and helps us plan realistic access for larger instruments.
We regularly provide piano removals in:
- Wood Green, Turnpike Lane and Hornsey
- Crouch End, Muswell Hill and Highgate borders
- Tottenham, Seven Sisters and Stamford Hill edges
- Bounds Green, Harringay Ladder and Green Lanes
Knowing where loading bays, narrow streets and controlled parking zones are means fewer delays and a more efficient, predictable service.
Who Our Piano Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving house and taking your piano with you, we coordinate with your main removals team or handle the whole move, ensuring the piano is properly protected, loaded and positioned in the new property.
Renters
Many Haringey flats have tight staircases and limited lifts. Our team assesses access in advance so your piano can be moved safely without damaging walls, floors or the instrument – helping you protect your deposit.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We assist with removing or relocating pianos left in rental properties, either for storage, sale or transfer to another address, with minimal disturbance to other residents and neighbours.
Businesses & Organisations
We move pianos for schools, churches, theatres, rehearsal rooms, hotels and music venues. Whether it is a permanent relocation or a temporary move for refurbishment, we plan around your schedule.
Students & Young Musicians
We help students moving into or out of Haringey accommodation who need a reliable but cost-conscious way to move uprights or digital pianos safely, often alongside other belongings.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Included in Our Piano Removals
- Upright pianos (all sizes)
- Baby grand and grand pianos
- Digital pianos, keyboards and stands
- Piano benches and stools
- Associated accessories (covers, pedals, music stands)
Items Typically Excluded
- Internal tuning or repairs (we can recommend local technicians)
- Moving pianos through unsafe or structurally unsound access
- Removal via crane or external hoist where not risk-assessed
- Non-piano hazardous items (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals)
If you are unsure whether your instrument or access can be accommodated, we will discuss this in detail during the survey stage.
Our Step-by-Step Piano Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with basic details: piano type, current and destination addresses, floor levels and any access concerns. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on this information, including any additional equipment or staff required.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For many Haringey properties we can survey via photos or video. For more complex moves – such as grands, basements or multi-storey buildings – we may arrange a short onsite survey. This lets us assess staircases, turns, door widths and parking.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day, we protect your piano and property before any lifting begins. We use padded covers, straps, floor protection and corner guards where required. For grands, we carefully remove and wrap the legs and lyre and secure the lid.
4. Loading & Transport
Your piano is loaded using proper lifting techniques and equipment, then secured in our vehicle with straps and cushioning to prevent movement in transit. Our fully insured vehicles are clean, purpose-equipped and driven by experienced staff.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we position the piano in your chosen room, making careful movements around floors, walls and furnishings. We reassemble grands as needed and check that the piano is stable and level. You may wish to arrange tuning after it has settled.
Transparent Piano Removal Pricing
We keep pricing straightforward and honest. Piano removal costs in Haringey depend on:
- Piano type and size (upright vs grand)
- Number of floors and staircases involved
- Access complexity (tight turns, limited lifts, long carries)
- Distance between addresses
- Any additional services (temporary storage, evening moves)
We provide a clear written quote before you book, detailing what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges for standard protective materials or normal waiting times agreed in advance.
Why Use Professional Piano Movers Instead of DIY
Pianos are heavy, awkward and delicate. A typical upright can exceed 200kg, and grands more again. DIY attempts often lead to injuries, damage to properties or serious harm to the instrument itself.
By choosing professional piano movers you benefit from:
- Correct lifting techniques and team coordination
- Specialist equipment sized for Haringey properties
- Proper protection for polished finishes and internal mechanisms
- Goods in transit insurance should the unexpected happen
- Reduced risk to your back, walls, floors and the piano
General man-and-van services often lack this expertise and equipment. Our service is tailored specifically to pianos and other fragile, high-value items.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your piano and property are protected throughout the move. We hold:
- Goods in transit insurance for your instrument while it is being moved
- Public liability cover for property and third-party protection
- Trained moving teams experienced in specialist handling
All work is carried out in line with recognised best practice for piano moving. We plan routes carefully, communicate clearly on the day and treat your home or premises with respect.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Every piano is wrapped and handled with care, with extra attention paid to polished wood, edges and pedals. We use reusable padded covers and high-quality strapping to minimise waste. Where additional packing is needed, we aim to choose materials that can be reused or recycled.
Our routes around Haringey are planned to reduce unnecessary mileage and time on the road, helping us limit fuel use while still delivering a reliable, punctual service.
Real-World Piano Removal Use Cases
Moving House with a Piano
We coordinate with your home move so the piano is collected and delivered at the right time, either as a separate specialist move or integrated into a wider removal. This reduces disruption and ensures the piano receives the attention it needs.
Office, School and Venue Relocations
For schools, studios and venues upgrading or relocating, we move one or multiple pianos with minimal downtime, often outside normal hours to avoid clashing with lessons or events.
Urgent or Short-Notice Piano Moves
Sometimes pianos need to be moved quickly – for a property completion date, refurbishment or unexpected change of plan. Where our schedule allows, we offer short-notice and same-day piano removals within Haringey and nearby areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a piano removal in Haringey cost?
The cost depends mainly on the type of piano, access at each address and the distance travelled. Uprights on the ground floor with straightforward access are at the lower end, while grands and multi-flight stair moves cost more due to extra staff and equipment. Once we know your piano type, floor levels and locations, we provide a clear fixed or accurately estimated price. There are no hidden fees for standard protection. Contact us with a few details and we will give you a tailored quote.
Can you do same-day or urgent piano removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent piano moves within Haringey and nearby areas. Availability depends on existing bookings, the complexity of the move and the type of piano. For straightforward upright moves, short-notice slots are easier to arrange; grands and complex access may require at least some planning time. Get in touch by phone if your move is urgent and we will advise honestly on what is realistic and how quickly we can reach you.
Is my piano insured during the move?
Yes. Your instrument is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being handled and transported by us. In addition, our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to third-party property. Insurance is there as a safety net; our priority is always prevention through careful planning, specialist equipment and trained staff. If you have a particularly high-value instrument, let us know so we can record details and confirm any specific requirements before the move.
What is included in your piano removal service?
Our standard service includes assessing access, protecting the piano with padded covers, safeguarding floors and key surfaces as required, careful loading, secure transport and positioning the piano in your chosen room at the destination. For grand pianos, this also covers safe removal, wrapping and reassembly of legs and lyre. Basic dismantling and re-assembly related to the move are included. Tuning, internal repairs and long-term storage are not part of the service, but we can often recommend trusted local partners if needed.
How is your service different from a general man-and-van?
While many man-and-van operators can move furniture, pianos need a different level of skill and equipment. Our team is specifically trained in piano handling, using specialist skids, covers and moving techniques. We are also fully insured for this type of work, and we plan each piano move in more detail than a standard load-and-go service. This reduces the risk of damage to your instrument and property, and provides peace of mind that the move is being carried out by people who do this regularly.
How far in advance should I book a piano removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially around weekends and month-end when demand is higher. However, we understand that completion dates and schedules can change, so we aim to be flexible. If you only have a few days’ notice, contact us as soon as possible – we will check our diary and do our best to fit you in, particularly for local Haringey moves.
Man with Van
Man with Van Haringey – Professional Local Moving Service
At Man and Van Haringey, our man with van service is designed for people who want a flexible, professional move without the cost of a full-scale removals crew. You still get an experienced, fully insured moving team, proper vehicles and equipment – just sized to suit smaller moves, short hops and tight schedules around Haringey and North London.
What Our Man with Van Service Includes
Our man with van team handles far more than simply turning up with a van. You get a complete, structured service carried out by trained, uniformed movers who move people in Haringey every day.
Typical Service Variations
- Single-item moves – sofas, wardrobes, appliances, pianos (upright)
- Flat and studio moves – ideal for renters and first-time movers
- Student moves – between halls, house shares and storage
- Small office relocations – desks, chairs, IT equipment, archives
- Store collections – IKEA and other furniture or bulky purchases
- Part-loads & shared loads – cost-effective if you have a few items
We supply the van, labour, trolley, blankets and basic protection as standard. Additional packing, dismantling and reassembly can be added if required.
Local Haringey Expertise
Based in the borough, our drivers and porters know Haringey’s roads, parking restrictions and estates inside out. Whether it’s a tight one-way street in Crouch End, resident bays near Finsbury Park, or loading at busy times in Wood Green, we plan your move around local conditions.
That local knowledge means:
- Realistic arrival and completion times
- Advance planning for permits and access
- Choosing the right vehicle size for your street
- Less time wasted, fewer delays and a smoother move
Who Our Man with Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you are moving a smaller property, clearing a garage or shed, or transporting a few large items between homes. We can also work alongside your main removals crew to handle overflow items.
Renters
If you are moving between rented flats or house shares in Haringey, a professional man with van is usually all you need. We are used to stairs, lifts, tight hallways and timed move-ins or check-outs.
Landlords
We help landlords clear or part-furnish properties, remove old furniture, or move items between lets. We work carefully to avoid damage and keep disruption to neighbours to a minimum.
Businesses
Small office relocations, moving files to storage, delivering stock between sites or collecting trade show materials – our man with van option keeps costs down while remaining fully insured and accountable.
Students
Students often have too much for a taxi, but not enough for a full removals lorry. Our student-friendly man with van service is ideal for moves to and from halls, shared houses and storage units in and around Haringey.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, drawers
- Domestic appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers
- Boxes, bags and suitcases of personal belongings
- Office furniture – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving
- IT equipment – computers, monitors, printers (suitably packed)
- Bikes, sports equipment and hobby items
Items Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement
- Hazardous materials – gas bottles, fuel, chemicals, paint, solvents
- Live animals or plants in bulk
- Very high-value items (jewellery, cash, important documents) – these should travel with you
- Heavy safes and machinery beyond safe lifting limits
- Grand pianos or specialist items that need dedicated crews
If you are unsure about an item, just ask when you enquire – we can often accommodate special requests with the right planning.
How Our Man with Van Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your addresses, dates and a rough list of items. We will ask a few practical questions about access, floors, lifts and parking. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and recommend the right size van and number of movers.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For straightforward, smaller jobs we usually carry out a quick virtual survey via video call or photos. For larger or more complex moves, we can arrange an onsite visit in Haringey. This ensures we understand volumes, access routes and any dismantling required, so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack yourself, or we can supply packing materials and a packing service at extra cost. Either way, our team checks that items are safe to move, protects furniture with blankets and wraps delicate pieces as needed. Appliances are disconnected in advance, unless agreed otherwise.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained crew arrives on time, walks through the job with you, and then loads methodically. We use trolleys, ramps and securing straps to protect your goods. Once loaded, we transport everything directly to your new address, using the most sensible route for Haringey traffic and roadworks.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload to the rooms you specify, place larger items where you want them and reassemble anything we dismantled (if included in your quote). Before we leave, we walk round with you to check that everything is in the right place and that you are happy with the service.
Transparent Pricing and How We Charge
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing so you know where you stand before booking. For most man with van jobs, we work on either:
- An hourly rate (minimum booking period), or
- A fixed price based on volume, access and distance
Your quote will clearly state what is included: number of movers, vehicle size, estimated duration, and any additional services such as packing, dismantling or disposal. There are no hidden extras – any potential parking, congestion or ULEZ charges are discussed upfront where applicable.
Why Choose a Professional Man with Van Over DIY
It can be tempting to hire a van and rope in friends, or book the cheapest ad you see online. In reality, moving is physical, technical and time-sensitive. With our professional man with van service you benefit from:
- Experience: regular moves in Haringey, so we know how to handle tight stairs, awkward furniture and long carries
- Protection: blankets, straps and proper stacking to avoid damage
- Efficiency: trained crews simply work quicker and more safely
- Insurance: your goods are covered; with casual help, they are not
By the time you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work and the risk of injury or damage, a reputable man with van is often the more sensible choice.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As an established Haringey removals company, we operate to clear, professional standards. This includes:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our care and in our vehicles, subject to terms and declared values.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
- Trained moving teams – our crews are briefed on safe lifting, packing and handling techniques, and work to a consistent process on every job.
Policy details and limits are available on request; we are always happy to explain exactly how you are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings and property as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped and covered, doorways and bannisters are protected where necessary, and we plan awkward items in advance rather than forcing them. Our vehicles are clean, maintained and equipped for removals, not general haulage.
Where possible, we use reusable protective materials and durable crates, and we consolidate journeys to reduce unnecessary mileage. Cardboard boxes and packing paper can be collected for reuse or recycling, helping to keep waste to a minimum.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Man with Van Haringey Service
Moving House or Flat
From studio flats to small houses, our man with van crews carry out local moves across Haringey daily. If your move is larger, we can scale up with extra movers or additional vehicles while still keeping the personal, flexible approach.
Office Relocations
Smaller businesses often do not need a full-scale corporate relocation. Our service is ideal for moving a few rooms’ worth of desks, chairs and IT equipment, with evening or weekend slots available to minimise downtime.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Sometimes plans change at short notice – a tenancy falls through, a sale completes unexpectedly, or you need items moved quickly. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day man with van support within Haringey and nearby areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with van in Haringey cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of van, number of movers, distance and how long the job takes. For smaller local moves, we typically quote an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, which keeps things fair if your job is straightforward. For larger or fixed-scope moves, we can provide a set price in advance. Your quote will clearly list what is included, and we will always discuss any potential extras, such as parking charges, before you confirm the booking.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man with van service?
Yes, we can often provide same-day or very short-notice man with van support in Haringey, depending on our existing schedule and vehicle availability. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible with full details of what needs moving, from where and to where. We will check our diary, advise what is realistic, and give you a clear price before you commit. We will always be honest about timeframes so you can plan around them.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our care and being transported, subject to policy terms and conditions. We also hold public liability insurance for added protection. We will explain any limits and exclusions when you book, and we recommend that you tell us about particularly high-value or fragile items in advance so we can advise on packing, handling and any additional cover that may be appropriate.
What is included in your man with van service?
Our standard man with van service includes a suitable vehicle, one or more trained movers, loading, safe transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We bring blankets, straps and trolleys as needed. Optional extras include packing materials, full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and disposal of agreed items. Your quote will make clear exactly what is and is not included, so there are no surprises on the day of your move.
What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van is often just a driver with a van and little accountability. Our service is run by an established removals company: we use professional equipment, follow a structured process and provide proper insurance. Our teams are experienced in handling furniture, packing vans safely and protecting properties. You receive written confirmation of your booking, clear pricing and support if plans change. In short, you get the flexibility of a man with van backed by the standards of a reputable removals firm.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend slots and popular moving dates, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred time. Midweek and off-peak slots can often be arranged at shorter notice. If your dates are not fixed, we can hold a provisional booking while you confirm. That said, we always try to help with last-minute enquiries wherever our schedule allows, so it is worth contacting us even if your move is only a day or two away.
Man and a Van
Man and a Van Haringey – Local, Professional Moving Support
At Man and Van Haringey, our man and a van service is designed for people who want a reliable, properly run removals operation – but don’t need a huge lorry and a full moving crew. You get an experienced local driver‑porter, the right size van, and the same professional standards we apply to our larger removals jobs.
What Our Man and a Van Service Includes
This service sits between a full removal and basic van hire. You get:
- A modern, clean Luton or panel van with straps, blankets and trolleys
- An experienced professional driver who also helps with lifting
- Collection and delivery across Haringey and the wider London area
- Careful loading, protection and unloading of your belongings
- Goods in transit insurance (within policy limits)
- Public liability cover for work at your property
It’s ideal for smaller moves, single items and short-notice jobs where you still want a fully insured, accountable removals company – not just a casual side‑job.
Local Haringey Expertise
Based in Haringey, we know the area street by street – from Green Lanes and Crouch End to Tottenham, Muswell Hill and Wood Green. That local knowledge matters when it comes to:
- Parking planning on narrow or restricted roads
- Timing moves around schools, events and traffic hotspots
- Dealing with controlled parking zones and loading bays
- Access issues in older properties, mansion blocks and estates
We regularly work with local estate agents, landlords and businesses in Haringey, so we’re used to coordinating keys, managing tight time windows and handling multi‑stop jobs across North London.
Who Our Man and a Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect for smaller house moves, partial moves or clearing specific rooms. Many homeowners use our man and a van option for:
- Moving out of storage back into the family home
- Transporting large items during renovations

Ideal for flat and house moves around Haringey where you don’t have a full household of furniture. We regularly help renters move between shared houses, studios and one‑bed flats, including top‑floor and no‑lift properties.
Landlords
Landlords use us to clear or furnish properties, remove old beds and wardrobes, or move appliances between rentals. We provide a punctual, professional service that respects neighbours and building rules.

For small offices and local businesses, our man and a van option is ideal for:
- Internal moves or floor‑to‑floor relocations
- Delivering stock, equipment or event materials

Students
We regularly support students at nearby universities and colleges. Our service is well suited to term‑time moves between halls and private rentals, and to moving belongings home during holidays.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included

- Sofas, armchairs and beds (dismantling available on request)
- Wardrobes, chests of drawers and shelving units
- Tables, desks, filing cabinets and office chairs
- Fridges, washing machines and other domestic appliances
- Boxes, suitcases and bags
- TVs, computers and standard electronic equipment (properly packed)
Items We Exclude or Need to Assess
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, our man and a van service does not normally cover:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Live animals or plants requiring special transport
- Very high‑value items (fine art, jewellery, large safes) without prior agreement
- Industrial machinery or exceptionally heavy items requiring specialist kit
- Unboxed loose items that cannot be moved safely
If you’re unsure about a specific item, we’ll assess it during the enquiry or survey stage.
Our Step‑by‑Step Man and a Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with your move details – addresses, dates, access notes and a rough list of items. We ask specific questions about stairs, parking and timing so we can match the right van and manpower to your job. For most man and a van moves we can provide a fixed or hourly quote the same day.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For simpler jobs, a quick video call or photo survey is enough. For more complex moves (tight access, awkward furniture, multiple stops), we may arrange a short onsite visit. This allows us to confirm volumes, plan the route and identify any risks in advance, reducing the chance of surprises on moving day.
3. Packing & Preparation
Most man and a van clients choose to pack their own boxes. We can supply materials in advance if needed. On request, we also offer:
- Basic dismantling of beds and furniture
- Protective wrapping for delicate items
- Labelling guidance to speed up unloading
We’ll advise you on how to prepare appliances and electronics so they travel safely.
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our professional driver arrives on time and walks through the move plan with you. We use blankets, straps and trolleys to protect and secure your belongings. Everything is loaded methodically to minimise movement in transit. We then travel directly to your destination, using the most efficient and practical route.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify. We’ll place furniture where you want it and stack boxes sensibly so you can unpack without obstructing walkways. Before we leave, we ask you to check that nothing has been missed and that you’re satisfied with the placement of key items.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge
We believe in clear, simple pricing with no hidden extras. For most man and a van jobs in Haringey we offer:
- Competitive hourly rates (minimum booking period)
- Or a fixed price for clearly defined jobs
Our quotes typically take into account:
- Distance and travel time between addresses
- Access, stairs and parking arrangements
- Number and type of items to be moved
- Any dismantling, wrapping or extra labour required
All charges, including any congestion or parking costs we are asked to manage, are explained upfront so you know exactly what to expect on your invoice.
Why Choose a Professional Man and a Van Over DIY
Hiring a van yourself can seem cheaper, but once you factor in fuel, deposits, time off work, heavy lifting and the risk of damage, it often isn’t. Using a fully insured, trained team means:
- Your belongings are protected by goods in transit insurance
- You’re covered by our public liability policy if something goes wrong at the property
- Experienced movers handle awkward items safely, reducing risk of injury
- You don’t have to drive or manoeuvre a large vehicle in London traffic
Compared with casual man‑and‑van adverts, we offer proper paperwork, confirmed bookings and accountability – with a real office and name on the side of the van.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible removals company, we operate to clear standards:
- Goods in transit insurance to set limits, covering loss or damage while items are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover for accidental damage to property while we work
- Trained teams who understand safe lifting, loading and handling
- Regularly maintained vehicles equipped with the right protective gear
Policy details and limits are available on request, and we’re happy to explain exactly how cover applies to your move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. That means using blankets, shrink‑wrap and straps where appropriate, and never over‑stacking or forcing items into spaces that aren’t suitable. We also work with sustainability in mind:
- Reusing and recycling boxes and materials where safe and hygienic
- Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Encouraging customers to donate unwanted items rather than binning them
Our aim is to complete your move efficiently, with minimal waste and disruption.
Real‑World Uses of Our Man and a Van Service
Moving Home
Ideal for studio and one‑bed flats, or for moving part of a household while the rest stays in place. We often help people bridge the gap between rentals, or move key items in advance of a larger removal.
Office Relocations
Smaller offices and sole traders use us to move desks, chairs, stock and IT equipment between premises in and around Haringey. We can work early mornings, evenings or weekends to reduce downtime.
Urgent and Same‑Day Moves
When you’re let down last minute or need something moved quickly, our local presence in Haringey means we can often offer same‑day or next‑day slots. We’ll always be honest about what is realistic within the time and access available.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and a van service in Haringey cost?
Pricing depends on distance, volume and access, but most man and a van jobs are charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For straightforward moves between local addresses, we can often give a fixed price once we understand what needs moving and the locations involved. To keep your costs down, we recommend having everything packed and ready near the entrance, reserving parking where possible, and giving us accurate information about stairs and heavy items so we can plan the right level of manpower from the start.
Can you offer same‑day or urgent man and a van bookings?
Yes, subject to availability we can often provide same‑day or next‑day man and a van support in Haringey and the surrounding areas. Because our vehicles and teams are based locally, we sometimes have gaps between larger jobs that can be used for urgent moves. The more detail you can give us when you call – addresses, access, key items and time constraints – the easier it is for us to confirm a realistic arrival window and price. For very tight deadlines, we’ll always be upfront about what we can safely achieve.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our man and a van service includes goods in transit insurance, which covers your items while they are in our vehicle, subject to policy limits and conditions. We also hold public liability insurance for work at your property. To ensure you’re properly protected, we ask you to declare any particularly high‑value or fragile items in advance, and to pack them carefully or request additional wrapping. We’re happy to provide a summary of our insurance cover and answer any questions before you confirm your booking.
What exactly is included in your man and a van service?
You get a suitable van, a professional driver‑porter, loading, secure transport and unloading at the other end. We supply blankets, straps and basic moving equipment as standard. On request, and for an agreed fee, we can help with dismantling simple furniture, wrapping delicate items and supplying packing materials beforehand. What’s not included as standard are packing services, waste disposal, disconnection of appliances and moving prohibited items such as hazardous materials. All inclusions are clearly listed in your confirmation so you know what to expect on the day.
How is your service different from a casual man‑and‑van?
We operate as an established removals company, not a side line. That means fully insured vehicles, trained staff, confirmed bookings and written quotes. Our vans carry professional equipment and we follow set procedures for loading, securing and protecting furniture. If something goes wrong, you’re dealing with a registered business with proper complaints and claims processes, not just a mobile number. In practice, this usually means a smoother move, fewer breakages, better timekeeping and clear accountability from first enquiry to final invoice.
How far in advance should I book a man and a van in Haringey?
For weekends and month‑end dates, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, as those slots fill quickly. Mid‑week and off‑peak moves can often be arranged with a few days’ notice, and occasionally we can help on the same day. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility you’ll have on timing and price. Once you’re happy with our quote, we’ll confirm your booking in writing and reserve the agreed time slot and vehicle for your move.

We regularly support tenants moving between rented flats in Haringey. We’re used to working within check-out times and inventory appointments, keeping the property protected so you leave it in good condition for your deposit inspection.
Landlords
Landlords use our service to clear properties after a tenancy, move in new furniture, or relocate items to storage. We can remove old furniture (subject to disposal rules) and set up flats ready for new tenants.
Businesses
For small businesses, freelancers and remote workers based in flats, we move office furniture, IT equipment and documents with minimal downtime. We can schedule outside your core working hours where required.
Students
Students moving into or out of shared flats and halls benefit from our cost-effective, smaller-load moves. We can often combine several students’ moves in one run to keep costs down, while still providing a reliable and professional service.
What We Can and Can’t Move
Items typically included
- Sofas, armchairs, beds, wardrobes, chests of drawers

- Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware and personal items

Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with basic details: current and new addresses, flat type, number of rooms, approximate volume and preferred date. We’ll discuss any access issues (stairs, lifts, parking) and provide an initial no-obligation estimate. For straightforward moves, we can often give a firm quote at this stage.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex flat moves, we recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or in person. We assess access routes, parking, lift restrictions and item volume. This allows us to choose the right vehicle, crew size and time slot, and to give you a clear, fixed-price quote where appropriate.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or use our packing service. If you choose packing, our trained team carefully packs your belongings using quality materials, labels boxes by room and secures fragile items. We can also provide packing materials if you prefer to do it yourself, and offer guidance on protecting breakables and flat-access routes.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our team arrives on time, carries out a brief walk-through and protects key areas as needed (lifts, hallways, doors). We load systematically, securing items in the vehicle to prevent movement. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while in our care. We then transport them directly to your new address or to storage.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new flat, we unload items into the rooms you specify. Large furniture is placed where you want it, and we can reassemble items we dismantled by prior arrangement. Before leaving, we check you’re happy with the placement and that nothing has been overlooked in the vehicle.
Transparent Pricing for Flat Removals in Haringey
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. The cost of your flat move depends on:
- Volume of items and size of the flat
- Access (stairs only, lift access, long carries)
- Distance between addresses
- Services required – basic move, part-packing, full packing
- Day and time (standard hours vs evenings/weekends)
We typically work on either a fixed price for the whole job or an hourly rate for smaller moves. All quotes are itemised, with no hidden charges for standard mileage or labour within the agreed scope. Any potential extras (e.g. difficult access, additional stops) are discussed and agreed in advance.
Why Use Professional Flat Removers Instead of DIY?
While hiring a van and doing it yourself can seem cheaper, flats add complications that make professional help worthwhile:
- We manage stairs, tight corners and lift rules safely and efficiently
- Trained crews know how to protect both furniture and building common areas
- We plan parking and access, avoiding fines or delays
- Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance
- Reduced risk of personal injury from heavy lifting or awkward loads
Compared with casual man-and-van operators, we provide structured planning, professional standards, and full documentation, giving you confidence that your move is properly managed.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man and Van Haringey operates to recognised industry standards to protect you and your belongings.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or third parties during the move
- Trained moving teams – all staff are trained in safe lifting, loading, and protection of goods and property
- Clean, well-maintained vehicles with suitable securing equipment
We are happy to outline our cover and limits in writing and answer any questions about how insurance applies to your particular move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care not only of your belongings but also of the buildings we work in and the environment.
- Use of blankets, covers and floor protection where needed
- Careful handling in communal areas to avoid scuffs and damage
- Re-use of sturdy cartons and use of recyclable packing materials where possible
- Planning loads to reduce the number of trips and unnecessary mileage
- Responsible disposal of unwanted items by arrangement, following local guidelines
Our aim is to complete your move efficiently while minimising waste and disturbance to neighbours.
Real-World Flat Removal Use Cases
Moving Home Within Haringey
Many of our customers move from one flat to another within Haringey. We can often do these moves in a single day, even with multiple flights of stairs, by sending the right size team and vehicle.
Relocating to or from London
If you’re leaving Haringey for another part of the UK, or moving into the area, we handle the London-side challenges – parking, loading and building access – and coordinate timings at the other end.
Urgent or Short-Notice Flat Moves
Sometimes moves come up quickly due to changes in tenancy or personal circumstances. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day flat removals. We prioritise clear communication so you know exactly what’s realistic on a short timescale.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a flat removal in Haringey cost?
The cost of a flat removal depends mainly on how much you have to move, access at each property, and the distance between them. Smaller studio or one-bedroom flat moves within Haringey may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger two- or three-bedroom flats are usually quoted at a fixed price. Packing services, awkward access or additional stops can affect the total. We always provide a clear written estimate or quote before you commit, so you know exactly what is included and can budget with confidence.
Can you do same-day or urgent flat removals?
We can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves, especially for smaller flats or part-loads, depending on our schedule and crew availability. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details of your requirements. We’ll confirm what is realistically achievable, discuss any limitations, and prioritise essential items if time is tight. While we can’t guarantee same-day slots every time, we’ll always do our best to find a practical solution that gets you moved safely and on time.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy conditions and any declared value limits. We also carry public liability cover in case accidental damage occurs to property during the move. Insurance is not a substitute for careful handling, so our trained team still packs and loads with great care. We’ll happily explain how our insurance works, what is and isn’t covered, and how to declare high-value items so you have full clarity before moving day.
What exactly is included in your flat removals service?
Our standard flat removals service includes the supply of the vehicle, a professional team of movers, loading all agreed items, secure transport, and unloading everything into the rooms you specify at your new address. We protect furniture with blankets and straps in the vehicle and take reasonable care of communal areas. Optional extras include packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply of packing materials. All inclusions and any additional services are clearly listed in your quote so you know precisely what to expect on the day.
What’s the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van is often just a driver with a vehicle, working on a loose basis, sometimes without formal insurance or trained staff. Our service is a structured, professional removal operation. We provide planning, surveys where needed, written quotes, fully insured vehicles and trained teams who know how to manage stairwells, lifts and delicate items. We also take responsibility for timing, access and safe loading. This reduces risk, saves time on the day, and gives you clearer accountability if anything unexpected happens.
How far in advance should I book my flat removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking your flat removal one to three weeks in advance. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change, so we try to remain flexible. If your move is sooner, still contact us – we often have gaps or can rearrange our schedule to fit smaller jobs. Once you’re ready to confirm, we’ll secure your booking and send written details so you know your moving day is properly organised.
Student Removals
Student Removals in Haringey by Man and Van Haringey
Moving into or out of student halls or a shared house in Haringey can be stressful, especially if you don’t have a car or much time between exams, work and life. At Man and Van Haringey, we provide a dedicated student removals service designed around how students actually live and move – fast, affordable and fully supported by a professional, fully insured local team.
Specialist Student Removal Service in Haringey
Our student removals are built to handle everything from a single room to an entire shared flat. Whether you’re moving into halls near Wood Green, a house share in Turnpike Lane, or heading out of Haringey to another city, we make your move straightforward and organised.
We understand student timetables: awkward key collection times, strict check-out deadlines, and the need to move on evenings or weekends. We plan your move around all of that so you can focus on studies, not logistics.
Who Our Student Removals in Haringey Are For
Students
Our core service is for university and college students moving:
- Into or out of student halls or campus accommodation
- Between shared houses and flats around Haringey
- Back home for the summer or returning for a new term
- To another city for placements or graduation
Homeowners & Parents
If you’re a parent helping a student move, we provide a reliable, punctual service so you don’t need to hire a van, take a day off work, or struggle with lifting. We can collect from your home and deliver directly to halls or a flat in Haringey or beyond.
Renters & House Sharers
Many students rent privately in Haringey. We regularly help with:
- End-of-tenancy moves between rented rooms or studios
- Short-notice moves when contracts change or house shares break up
- Room-to-room moves within the same building
Landlords & Letting Agents
We assist landlords and letting agents with quick turnarounds between student tenancies, including cleared moves when a room needs to be emptied, and careful transport of furniture you are providing.
Businesses & Student Accommodation Providers
We support businesses and purpose-built student accommodation providers with bulk moves, such as relocating groups of students, clearing storage units, or transporting study furniture and equipment.
What’s Included in Our Student Removals
Typical Items We Move
We routinely move:
- Suitcases, bags, boxes and crates
- Desks, chairs, bookshelves and small wardrobes
- Beds, mattresses and futons (where allowed by your tenancy)
- Computers, monitors, gaming setups and TVs
- Course materials, books, folders and instruments
- Kitchen items, small appliances and personal belongings
- Bikes and sports equipment (with appropriate protection)
Items We Cannot Move
To keep everyone safe and compliant with our insurance and legal obligations, there are some items we cannot transport:
- Illegal or hazardous materials (gas cylinders, fireworks, chemicals)
- Open containers of liquids that may leak and damage other items
- Animals or pets
- Perishable food for long-distance moves
- Items that exceed safe lifting or size limits for the property access
If you’re unsure about a particular item, just ask when you request a quote and we’ll advise.
How Our Student Removal Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your moving dates, addresses, and a rough list of items. We’ll ask a few practical questions about access, floors, lifts and time restrictions. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most student moves, a quick virtual survey (photos or video call) is enough. For larger shared-house moves or long-distance relocations, we can arrange an onsite survey in Haringey. This ensures we send the right size vehicle and team, avoiding last-minute issues.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or add our packing service. We supply quality boxes and packing materials, and our trained team can pack breakables, tech and books securely. We label boxes clearly so unloading at the new address is straightforward and nothing goes missing.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day we arrive on time, introduce the crew, walk through the items and plan the loading route. We protect furniture with covers and blankets, and secure everything properly in the van. Your belongings are transported directly, with regular updates for longer journeys.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new address we unload carefully to the rooms you specify, not just to the door. We place larger items like beds, desks and wardrobes where you want them, so you can settle in quickly. Once done, we check you’re happy with everything before leaving.
Transparent Pricing for Student Removals
We know cost matters for students. Our pricing is straightforward, with:
- Clear hourly or fixed-price options depending on the move
- No hidden charges for stairs or evening/weekend work (disclosed upfront)
- Optional extra services (packing, materials, storage) clearly itemised
Smaller local moves within Haringey are often charged at an hourly rate, ideal if you’re moving a room or studio. Larger or longer-distance student moves are usually a fixed price agreed in advance, so you know exactly what you’ll pay before moving day.
Why Use a Professional Removal Service Instead of DIY?
Hiring a professional removals team offers several advantages over borrowing a car or hiring a basic van:
- Trained movers who know how to lift safely and protect your belongings
- Proper equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps and covers to prevent damage
- Reduced risk of injury from heavy lifting or awkward staircases
- Faster, more organised moves, especially with limited time between tenancies
- Fully insured service, so your belongings are protected in transit
A casual man-with-van may seem cheaper, but often lacks the insurance, training and reliability needed when you’re moving everything you own. With Man and Van Haringey you get a professional team focused on doing the job properly from start to finish.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being transported
- Public liability cover for peace of mind in case of accidental damage to property
- Trained moving teams experienced with student accommodation, tight staircases and shared houses
- Sign-off checks at the end of the move so you can confirm everything is where it should be
This level of cover and professionalism is especially important for valuable items such as laptops, monitors, instruments and course materials that you rely on every day.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle student moves with the same care as any full house move. Furniture is wrapped and protected, boxes are stacked safely, and electronics are secured. For shared houses, we keep each person’s belongings clearly separated and labelled to avoid any mix-ups.
We also aim to work more sustainably by:
- Reusing strong packing cartons where appropriate
- Offering box collection and reuse after your move
- Planning routes efficiently around Haringey to reduce unnecessary mileage
Real-World Student Move Scenarios We Handle
Moving Into Halls or First-Year Accommodation
We regularly help first-year students move into halls with parents or on their own. We manage tight arrival slots, busy car parks and building rules, carrying everything to your room so you don’t need to struggle with multiple trips.
Shared House & Flat Moves
Many second- and third-year students share houses across Haringey. We coordinate with everyone involved, moving individual rooms or whole properties. We work around key handover times and can complete the move in stages if needed.
End-of-Year & Urgent Moves
Some moves are urgent – last-minute room changes, end-of-tenancy deadlines, or unexpected changes to plans. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or short-notice student removals within Haringey and nearby areas.
Long-Distance Student Moves
If you’re leaving Haringey after your course or moving for a placement, we can transport your belongings to other UK cities. We plan these carefully so that collection and delivery fit around your travel and key times.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a student removal in Haringey cost?
Costs vary depending on how much you’re moving, access at each property, and the distance travelled. For small local moves within Haringey, many students choose an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, which keeps costs predictable for single rooms or studios. Larger or longer-distance moves are usually priced as a fixed quote agreed in advance. When you contact us, share a simple list of items and both addresses; we’ll give you a clear price with no hidden extras so you can budget confidently.
Can you do same-day or urgent student moves?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Haringey, especially outside peak periods such as end of term. Availability depends on our schedule and the size of your move. If you need an urgent removal, call us as early as possible with your details. We’ll check vehicle and crew availability and give you realistic time options. Where we can’t fit you in immediately, we’ll usually be able to offer the next available slot and advise how to prepare quickly to keep the move efficient.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are on our vehicles and by public liability insurance for work in and around the properties. This cover is designed for normal household and student belongings. We still recommend that highly valuable items such as jewellery or important documents travel with you personally where possible. We’re happy to explain exactly what is and isn’t covered when you book, so you know how our insurance works alongside any personal contents or student insurance policies you already have.
What’s included in your student removals service?
Our standard student removals include a vehicle sized for your load, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We provide protective blankets and securing straps as standard to keep items safe in transit. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture, and short- or long-term storage. We outline exactly what is included in your quote so there is no confusion on moving day, and you can choose the level of help that suits your budget.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a basic man-and-van can move items from A to B, our service is built around professional standards. We use trained staff, appropriate equipment, and have full goods in transit and public liability insurance. We carry out proper planning, surveys where needed, and careful loading and unloading so your belongings are protected. We also provide clear, written quotes and booking confirmations. For students moving everything they own, this level of reliability and accountability is important, especially when access is tight and timings with landlords or halls are fixed.
How far in advance should I book my student move?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially around end-of-term and September starts, we recommend booking 2–3 weeks in advance. That said, we understand that student plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate short-notice bookings where our schedule allows. As soon as you know your moving date or check-in/checkout times, get in touch with the details. We can pencil in provisional dates if needed and firm them up once your tenancy or halls arrangements are confirmed.

Renters
From first-time renters to long-term tenants, we help you move between flats and houses with minimal hassle. We pay close attention to stairwells, communal areas and existing fixtures so you leave the property in good condition for your check-out inspection.
Landlords
Landlords use our service to clear properties between tenancies, move furniture in or out of furnished lets and support tenants who need a reliable removals partner. We can work to tight void periods and provide invoices for your records.
Businesses
For small businesses and home offices moving within Haringey or further afield, we provide organised removals for desks, IT equipment, stock and documents. We can schedule work outside normal hours to minimise business interruption.
Students
Students moving to or from halls, house shares or studios benefit from our flexible, smaller-load moves. We regularly help with term-time moves, end-of-year clear outs and relocations between London campuses.
What We Can Move
Our house removals service covers most domestic and light commercial items, including:
- Sofas, armchairs, dining tables and chairs
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and bedroom furniture
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, dryers
- TVs, sound systems and everyday electronics
- Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware and personal items
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and small equipment
- Bicycles, sports equipment and stored items from lofts or garages
What We Cannot Move
To keep our team and your belongings safe, some items are excluded from our standard service:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, solvents, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
- Unsealed liquids that may spill during transport
- Live animals (we recommend dedicated pet transport)
- Very high-value items such as fine art or jewellery without prior agreement
- Large industrial machinery not suited to our vehicles
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, let us know during the quotation stage so we can advise or make safe arrangements.
Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with the basics: current address, destination, property size, main items and preferred moving date. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us, and we explain exactly what is included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a short survey. This can be done by video call or in person. We assess access, parking, stairways, lifts and item volumes so we can allocate the right team, van size and equipment. A proper survey avoids surprises on moving day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Packing service – We provide materials and pack your belongings professionally, including fragile items and kitchen contents.
- Part-packing service – We handle breakables and awkward items; you pack simpler belongings.
- Self-packing – You pack; we supply boxes and advice if required.
We can also dismantle and reassemble standard beds, wardrobes and flat-pack furniture by prior arrangement.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day our team arrives on time, carries out a brief walk-through with you and then protects floors and key furniture. We use blankets, straps and trolleys to load safely and efficiently. All goods are secured inside the van to minimise movement during transit. We then transport your belongings directly to your new address by the planned route.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new home we unload room by room according to your instructions. Furniture is placed where you want it, and labelled boxes are stacked in the correct rooms. If dismantling and reassembly was agreed, we rebuild items so you can start using them straight away. Before we leave, we invite you to check that everything has been unloaded and positioned correctly.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Haringey
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of goods and number of rooms
- Access difficulties (stairs, distance to parking, no lifts)
- Travel distance between properties
- Level of service – packing, dismantling, reassembly
- Day of the week and any out-of-hours requirements
We set out what is included in writing so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges for standard local moves as long as the scope of work matches what was agreed at the quotation stage.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals team offers several advantages over doing it yourself or relying on a casual one-man service:
- Experienced handling reduces the risk of damage to furniture and properties.
- Correct equipment (trolleys, straps, blankets) makes heavy lifting safer.
- Planned timings and routes avoid delays and last-minute issues.
- Fully insured cover provides protection that DIY moves cannot match.
- A trained crew can complete in hours what might take you all day or longer.
For many customers, the reduced stress and lower risk of injury or breakage more than justify the cost of a professional move.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man and Van Haringey operates to clear, professional standards for your peace of mind:
- Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your belongings while they are being moved, subject to terms and conditions.
- Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property or injury during the move.
- Trained moving teams – Our staff are experienced in lifting techniques, safe loading and protecting both items and premises.
We are happy to explain our cover levels and provide confirmation of insurance on request before you book.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your belongings as if they were our own. Key measures we take include:
- Protective blankets, shrink wrap and mattress covers where appropriate
- Floor and banister protection in vulnerable areas
- Securing loads properly to prevent movement in transit
We also make efforts to work more sustainably by reusing strong removal crates and boxes where possible, recycling materials, maintaining fuel-efficient vehicles and planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage. These steps help lower our environmental impact while keeping standards high.
Common House Removal Scenarios We Handle
Moving House Within Haringey
Many of our clients move between streets or neighbourhoods within Haringey. These short-distance moves still benefit from proper planning, especially where parking and access are tight. We can often complete local moves in a single day.
Office and Home Office Relocations
We regularly move small offices and home-based businesses, ensuring that computers, screens and key documents are packed and transported securely. We can label and position workstation items so you can restart work with minimal downtime.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves arise unexpectedly – a change in tenancy, a sale completing faster than planned or a sudden need to vacate. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day support. Calling us as early as possible gives the best chance of securing an urgent slot.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house removals in Haringey cost?
The cost depends on the volume of your belongings, the distance between properties, access at each address and the level of service you choose. Smaller flat moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while larger house removals are usually quoted at a fixed price after a survey. Optional extras such as packing, materials and dismantling services are itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for. We are always happy to provide a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific move.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
We do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice moves, especially within Haringey. Availability depends on our existing bookings, the size of your move and the distance involved. For urgent situations, it helps if you can be flexible on timing and service level. Contact us as early in the day as possible, provide clear details of what needs moving, and we will let you know honestly what we can offer and the likely cost before you decide.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and conditions. We also carry public liability cover for additional protection. During your booking we can explain what is covered, any limits or exclusions, and how best to pack and declare higher-value items. Our aim is to combine sensible insurance with careful handling so you feel fully protected throughout your move.
What’s included in your house removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitably sized van, a trained team of movers, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We protect key items with blankets and use straps and trolleys to handle heavier pieces safely. Optional extras include packing services, provision of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture and additional stops if you need to collect or drop off items elsewhere. Everything included is set out clearly in your written quotation before you confirm your booking.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small or simple moves, but a professional removals service offers more structure and protection. We carry appropriate insurance, use trained staff, plan moves properly and provide written quotes and booking confirmations. We also bring the right equipment and allocate enough movers for the job, reducing the risk of damage or injury. For full house removals, especially from multi-storey or awkward properties, a professional removals team is usually safer, faster and more reliable.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Ideally, you should book your removal as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, particularly if you plan to move at the end of the month or on a weekend, when demand is higher. For most Haringey moves, one to three weeks’ notice allows time for a survey, planning and any packing you may require. That said, we regularly help on shorter notice when our schedule allows, so it is always worth contacting us even if your date is close.

- Bookcases, shelving units and cabinets
- Desks, office chairs and filing cabinets
- Non-fitted white goods (fridges, freezers, washing machines, etc.)
- Outdoor and garden furniture
- Flat-pack items (assembled or disassembled)
Items Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement
For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from standard furniture removals, or must be agreed in advance:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, chemicals, paint, gas cylinders)
- Illegal items or anything that cannot be legally transported
- Very high-value items such as fine art or antiques without prior notice
- Pianos and safes (can be moved, but only with specific arrangements)
- Pets and live animals
- Loose cash, jewellery or important documents (we recommend you carry these yourself)
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, just ask. We will either confirm it is covered, suggest a safe way to handle it or recommend a specialist where appropriate.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details of your move: addresses, access notes, key items of furniture and preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included, any likely additional costs and the team and vehicle we recommend.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves, or where access is tricky, we carry out a short survey. This can be by video call or an onsite visit. We look at staircases, lifts, doorways, parking and volume of furniture, so we can plan the move properly and allocate the right number of trained movers.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack smaller items yourself, or we can provide a packing service for fragile or awkward pieces. On moving day, we protect furniture with padded covers, blankets and shrink wrap where necessary. We can also dismantle larger items (such as bed frames and wardrobes) and prepare white goods for safe transport.
4. Loading & Transport
Our team loads in a logical order, securing everything properly using straps and transit blankets. We work carefully in your property to avoid damage to walls, floors and doorways. Once loaded, we transport your furniture using suitable vehicles with goods in transit insurance in place throughout the journey.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload, place furniture in the rooms you specify and reassemble any items we dismantled. We will move pieces into position so you are not left dragging heavy furniture around after we leave. Before we go, we do a final walk-through with you to check you are happy with everything.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Furniture removals in Haringey are normally priced based on:
- Volume and type of furniture to be moved
- Distance between properties
- Access difficulty (stairs only, parking restrictions, long carries)
- Number of movers required
- Optional services such as packing, dismantling and storage
We will always explain how your quote has been calculated. If something could increase the cost – for example, needing to carry furniture from a distant parking bay – we will flag it up in advance so you can make an informed decision.
Why Choose Professional Furniture Removals Instead of DIY
Moving furniture yourself or using an informal man-with-a-van may look cheaper at first, but it often leads to damaged items, injuries and hidden costs. Professional furniture removals come with:
- Trained staff who know how to lift, carry and protect heavy or delicate furniture
- Proper vehicles with securing points, blankets and equipment
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Reliable timekeeping and clear communication
- Reduced risk of injury to you, your friends or your staff
We frequently help clients who have tried to move heavy furniture themselves and run into problems. Using a professional team from the start usually works out better value and far less stressful.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Haringey operates to professional standards that protect you, your property and your furniture:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your furniture while it is being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property while we are working.
- Trained moving teams – all staff receive practical training in manual handling, loading, securing and property protection.
We treat your furniture as if it were our own, and we always aim to prevent problems rather than simply rely on insurance after the event.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on careful handling, responsible materials and efficient planning:
- Use of high-quality transit blankets, padded covers and floor protection
- Secure loading to minimise movement in transit
- Re-usable packing materials wherever possible to reduce waste
- Route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions
- Responsible disposal or recycling of unwanted furniture by arrangement
Our aim is to move your furniture safely while keeping environmental impact and disruption to a sensible minimum.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House Within Haringey
Typical jobs include moving families between terraced houses or flats in areas like Crouch End and Muswell Hill. We organise parking permits, protect floors and bannisters and coordinate timings with your buyers or landlords.
Office Relocations
For small to medium offices, we move desks, seating, storage and meeting room furniture. Moves are often completed in the evening or at weekends, so your staff can arrive on Monday to a functioning workspace.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
When completion dates move or leases change at the last minute, we do our best to provide same-day or next-day furniture removals, subject to availability. We prioritise clear communication so you know exactly what we can realistically achieve at short notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture removal in Haringey cost?
Costs vary depending on the amount of furniture, access at each property, distance travelled and any additional services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller flat moves within Haringey are often priced on a set hourly rate for a vehicle and moving team, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. We will ask a few simple questions, or carry out a short survey, then provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what is included before you decide.
Can you handle same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Where our schedule permits, we can arrange same-day or short-notice furniture removals in Haringey. Availability depends on the size of the move, the time of day and how many teams we already have booked. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible with the key details – addresses, access and main items to be moved. We will tell you honestly what we can do, the likely cost and any limitations, so you can make an informed decision under time pressure.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your furniture while it is being transported in our vehicles, and public liability cover for work carried out at your property. As with any insurance, certain limits and exclusions apply, which we are happy to explain before you book. We still prioritise preventing damage in the first place by using proper protection, careful handling and experienced staff, so we very rarely need to rely on our insurance.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained moving team, loading, transportation, unloading and placing your furniture in your new property. We protect items with blankets and covers, secure them correctly in the van and handle them carefully at both ends. Optional extras include packing of smaller items, dismantling and reassembly of larger pieces, provision of packing materials and short-term storage by arrangement. Your quote will clearly list what is and is not included, so there are no surprises on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service may simply provide a driver and a vehicle, with little or no protection, planning or insurance. A professional removals service like ours offers trained staff, fully insured transport, proper equipment and a structured process from quote to completion. We plan access, protect your property, secure items in the vehicle and provide clear documentation. For valuable or irreplaceable furniture, and for larger or more complex moves, this level of care and organisation significantly reduces risk and stress.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For preferred dates and times, especially at weekends and month-ends, we recommend booking as soon as you know your moving date – ideally two to four weeks in advance for larger moves. Smaller or local jobs can sometimes be booked with less notice, and we will always try to help with last-minute requests where we have availability. Once booked, we stay in touch leading up to your move, and if your dates change, we will do our best to reschedule sensibly.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
You contact us by phone or online with your move details: addresses, access, approximate volume and timing. We ask focused questions so we can give a clear, fair estimate and confirm whether a same day removal in Haringey is available.
2. Fast Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most same day jobs we carry out a brief virtual survey using photos or video. This lets us assess volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any special items. For larger properties nearby, we may be able to pop in for a quick onsite look if time allows.
3. Packing & Preparation
On arrival, we protect key items with covers, blankets and wrapping. Where agreed, we can provide packing assistance – especially for fragile or awkward items. We plan the load order so items are secure in transit and essentials are accessible at the other end.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads the vehicle using trolleys, dollies and lifting straps where needed. We secure your belongings using ties and blankets to minimise movement. Vehicles used for same day removals are clean, well maintained and covered by goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address we unload efficiently and place items into the rooms you request. We position larger items such as beds and wardrobes where you want them, and we are happy to follow your guidance on boxes and fragile belongings.
Transparent Same Day Removals Pricing
Same day moves can be unpredictable, so we keep our pricing structure simple and transparent. Costs are usually based on:
- Size of vehicle and number of movers required
- Travel distance between addresses
- Access complexity (stairs, parking, long carries)
- Any packing or dismantling services required
- Timing – especially for late evening jobs
We provide a clear quote before you confirm the booking, with any minimum charge explained upfront. There are no hidden extras – if a job looks likely to exceed the estimated time, we tell you in advance and agree how to proceed.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY?
When time is tight, it can be tempting to try to move everything yourself or rely on a casual man-and-van. In reality, this often leads to damage, delays and stress. A professional removals team offers:
- Trained staff who know how to lift, carry and protect items properly
- Appropriate vehicles with securing points and removals blankets
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Efficient planning so the move runs smoothly, even when booked at the last minute
This is particularly important in flats, tight stairwells and busy streets common in Haringey, where experience significantly reduces risks and disruption.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man and Van Haringey operates to professional standards you would expect from an established removals company, not just a casual van hire service. We carry:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are in our care
- Public liability cover for work in homes, communal areas and business premises
Our teams are trained in safe lifting techniques, loading methods and property protection. We use floor and door protection where needed and treat both your belongings and your property with respect at all times.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on same day moves, we do not cut corners on care:
- Furniture is wrapped or covered to minimise scuffs and marks
- Mattresses and sofas are protected from dirt and moisture
- Appliances are secured and carried upright where required
We also think about sustainability. Wherever possible we:
- Reuse strong boxes and protective materials
- Plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Offer responsible disposal options for unwanted items by arrangement
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Emergency House or Flat Moves
Sometimes circumstances change unexpectedly – a tenancy ending abruptly, a sudden sale completion, or an urgent need to move closer to family. We help households relocate quickly while keeping your belongings safe and organised.
Urgent Office & Business Relocations
Businesses may need to move premises at very short notice due to lease changes, building issues or growth. We support small offices and local retailers with rapid, structured moves aimed at minimising downtime.
Student and Short-Term Moves
Students and short-term renters often have tight deadlines to vacate rooms or halls. Our same day removals in Haringey are ideal for moving belongings between shared houses, storage and new accommodation, even when plans change at the last minute.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Haringey cost?
Costs depend on the size of your move, addresses, access and how many movers you need. For smaller same day jobs within Haringey, pricing is often based on an hourly rate with a minimum charge, plus any additional travel time. Larger or more complex moves may be quoted as a fixed price once we understand the volume and access. We will always discuss the likely cost with you upfront and confirm the rate before you commit, so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate genuine same day requests, but availability depends on existing bookings, vehicle sizes and crew numbers on that particular day. Calling as early as possible gives the best chance of securing a slot. If we cannot complete the entire move the same day, we may suggest a partial move, evening slot, or an early start the following morning. We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable in the time available.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and reasonable packing. We also hold public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to third-party property. We will explain the level of cover during booking and can highlight any exclusions, such as unpacked fragile items or high-value goods that require special arrangements. If you have specific concerns, let us know so we can advise on the best approach.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard same day service includes vehicle and fuel, a trained moving team, loading, secure transport and unloading into your new property. We provide removal blankets and basic protection for furniture as standard. Additional services, such as packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, or disposal of unwanted items, can often be added depending on time and availability. During your initial enquiry we will clarify what you need and confirm exactly what is included in your quote so there are no surprises on the day.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may offer transport, but often without trained staff, proper insurance or structured planning. As a professional removals company, we provide trained movers, fully insured vehicles, protective equipment and a clear process from quote to completion. This reduces the risk of damage, injury and delays, especially on same day moves where there is little margin for error. You are also dealing with a business that is accountable for timings, standards and aftercare, rather than an informal arrangement.
How far in advance should I book, if I know I will need a same day move?
If you already suspect you will need a move at short notice, contact us as soon as possible, even if details are not final. We can pencil in provisional time, discuss options and advise what information we will need on the day. For genuine emergencies, the earlier in the day you call, the better our chances of finding a slot. We are used to working around last-minute confirmations and will always try to build a realistic plan that fits your time constraints.
