Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Everything starts with a simple enquiry. You can call or email us with basic details: your current address, destination, property type, and a rough list of furniture. We will ask a few questions about access, parking, and any larger or delicate pieces. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining what is included so you know exactly what to expect.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger moves, or where access is tight, we arrange a free survey, either virtual (video call) or onsite. This allows us to assess stairways, lifts, parking and the size and volume of your furniture. A thorough survey reduces the risk of delays on moving day and ensures we allocate the correct vehicle size, crew and protective materials.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – We carefully pack smaller items and protect all furniture.
• Part packing – We pack fragile or awkward items while you pack the rest.
• Self-packing – You pack boxes; we focus on protecting and moving the furniture.

On moving day, we use blankets, shrink-wrap, mattress protectors, and corner protectors to prepare your furniture. Where appropriate, we can dismantle and reassemble beds, wardrobes and other large items.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained moving teams load your furniture in a safe, logical order to minimise movement during transit and protect delicate surfaces. All items are secured using straps and placed on a clean, padded vehicle floor. Our removals vehicles are maintained to a high standard, and we plan the route to avoid unnecessary delays, taking into account local traffic and access around Catford and beyond.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload systematically, placing each item in the room you specify. We can assemble any items we dismantled, position furniture where you want it, and remove used protective materials. Before we leave, we walk through the property with you to ensure everything is in the right place and that you are satisfied with the move.

Local Furniture Removals Expertise in Catford

Based in Catford, we understand the realities of moving furniture in SE6 and the surrounding areas. From narrow Victorian terraces and mansion blocks to new-build flats and commercial units, we are familiar with local building styles and typical access challenges. We plan around parking restrictions, bus lanes and busy junctions to keep your move running smoothly.

Our knowledge of Catford and neighbouring areas means we can advise on the best time of day to move, how to handle restricted parking bays, and what to expect from different types of local housing stock.

Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes for furniture removals in Catford are based on:

• Volume and type of furniture
• Distance between properties
• Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long walks, parking)
• Required services (packing, dismantling, storage)
• Day of the week and time of year

We provide a written quote detailing what is included: labour, vehicle(s), travel time, and standard goods in transit insurance. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional charges (for example, waiting time or extra services requested on the day) are explained clearly in advance.

Why Choose Professional Furniture Removals Over DIY

Moving furniture yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van can appear cheaper, but often costs more in time, stress and damage. Our professional service offers:

• Safety – Proper lifting techniques and equipment reduce the risk of injury.
• Protection – Professional wrapping and handling minimise scratches, dents and breakages.
• Efficiency – Experienced crews load and unload quickly and systematically.
• Accountability – Clear terms, insurance cover and a company you can contact.

With DIY moves, you are relying on borrowed vans, friends’ availability and limited equipment. With Catford Movers, you get a planned, managed service led by experienced movers who do this every day.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your furniture represents both financial and sentimental value, so we treat it with the care it deserves. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your belongings while they are being moved.
• Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties.
• Trained moving teams – Staff are trained in safe handling, packing and loading techniques.

We work to recognised industry standards, maintain our vehicles regularly, and keep accurate records of each move. You receive written confirmation of your booking, along with the key details of your cover and our terms.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We focus on careful handling, appropriate protection and responsible working practices. Furniture is wrapped in reusable moving blankets and, where possible, we use durable, reusable materials instead of excessive single-use plastics. Cardboard boxes are sourced responsibly and reused or recycled whenever practical.

Route planning helps minimise unnecessary mileage, and we consolidate loads where appropriate to reduce our environmental impact without compromising service. Our aim is to move your furniture safely while operating in a way that is mindful of our wider responsibilities.

Real-World Furniture Removal Use Cases

Moving House

From studio flats to family homes, we handle full household moves, carefully transporting your furniture, white goods and boxed items to your new address. We can work around exchange and completion times, liaise with estate agents or key holders, and adjust schedules where needed.

Office and Business Relocations

For businesses in Catford, we relocate desks, chairs, filing systems and storage units with minimal disruption. We can move you outside normal working hours where required, and work to a layout plan so everything arrives in the right place for a smooth restart.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves are unplanned: a tenancy ending sooner than expected, a sale completing quickly, or the need to clear a property at short notice. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day furniture removals and can quickly mobilise a team to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do furniture removals in Catford cost?

The cost depends on the quantity and type of furniture, access at each property, distance between addresses, and whether you need packing or dismantling. Smaller local moves can often be completed within a few hours, while larger properties may require a full day or more. After a short discussion, and where needed a survey, we provide a fixed quotation so you know the exact cost before you book. There are no hidden extras, and any optional charges are explained clearly in advance.

Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?

Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or next-day furniture removals in Catford and nearby areas. Availability depends on the size of the move, the number of staff required and existing bookings. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with your details. We will check our diary, advise what is realistically achievable, and if we cannot accommodate your exact time, we will offer the closest available slot and practical alternatives.

What insurance cover do you provide?

We include standard goods in transit insurance, which covers your furniture while it is being moved in our vehicles, and public liability insurance for accidental damage to third-party property. Full details and limits are provided with your booking confirmation. While we take every precaution to prevent issues, insurance offers additional reassurance. We always recommend that particularly valuable or irreplaceable items are discussed with us in advance so we can advise on the best way to protect them.

What is included in your furniture removals service?

Our standard service includes a suitably sized removals vehicle, a trained crew, protective blankets and equipment, loading at your current address, safe transport and unloading at your new address. We position furniture in the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and temporary storage if required. All inclusions and options are set out clearly in your written quote so you can tailor the service to your needs and budget.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While a man-and-van can work for very small jobs, our service offers greater reliability, protection and accountability. We provide professional vehicles, trained staff, proper protective materials, written quotations and insurance cover. Moves are planned in advance, with attention to access, parking and item protection, rather than simply turning up on the day. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings, and is particularly important when you are moving a full household or valuable furniture items.

How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?

We recommend booking as soon as your moving date is reasonably certain, particularly for Fridays, weekends and month-end, which are our busiest times. For most moves, one to three weeks’ notice is ideal, giving time to arrange a survey and finalise details. However, we understand that dates can change, especially when chains are involved, so we try to be flexible where possible. If you have a last-minute move, contact us and we will do our best to fit you in.
