Local Expertise in Harringay
Working daily in Harringay and the surrounding areas, we understand local roads, parking restrictions, building layouts and typical access issues. From tight stairwells in converted houses to controlled parking zones on busy streets, our local knowledge helps us plan the most efficient and least disruptive move for you.
We regularly work across Green Lanes, Ladder roads, warehouse conversions and nearby estates, so we know what to expect and how to prepare. This reduces delays and minimises the risk of last‑minute problems on move day.
Who Our Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we provide a structured, fully managed move. We can handle fragile packing, large furniture and garden items, coordinating carefully with your completion time.
Renters
For tenants moving between rented properties, we offer cost-effective, efficient removals. We are used to strict check‑out times, lift bookings and managing landlord requirements, helping you leave the property in good order.
Landlords
We assist landlords with furniture removals, clearing properties between tenancies and moving items to or from storage. Our teams work quickly and respectfully, keeping disruption to tenants and neighbours to a minimum.
Businesses
From small local businesses to larger offices, we provide planned office removals with minimal downtime. We can move desks, IT equipment, filing, stock and specialist items, coordinating with your team so staff can get back to work promptly.
Students
Students benefit from flexible, smaller-scale moves at sensible prices. We move belongings between halls, shared houses and family homes, offering help with packing and storage if needed.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
We move most household and office items, including:
- Furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs, cabinets
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted), cookers
- Boxes of clothing, books, kitchenware and personal belongings
- IT equipment, printers, screens and office furniture
- Outdoor items – garden furniture, tools, barbecues (clean and gas removed)
- Artwork, mirrors and fragile items (carefully wrapped and protected)
Items Excluded or by Prior Arrangement
For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or require advance discussion:
- Hazardous materials – paints, solvents, gas cylinders, fuel, chemicals
- Live animals and pets
- High-value jewellery, cash and important documents (we advise you move these personally)
- Very large or specialist items such as pianos, safes or machinery (possible with prior notice)
- Perishable or frozen food for long-distance moves
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise clearly during your survey.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with your move details: addresses, property type, key dates and any particular requirements. We ask a few focused questions to understand what is involved and provide an initial indication of cost. Where possible, we offer a fixed-price quotation, not an hourly guess.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything more than a very small move, we carry out a survey. This can be a video call or an onsite visit, depending on your preference and the complexity of the move. We assess volume, access, parking, fragile items and any dismantling needed. This survey forms the basis of your written quote and move plan.
3. Packing & Preparation
Before move day, you choose whether you would like:
- Full packing service – we pack everything for you
- Part packing service – we pack fragile or high-value items only
- Self-pack – you pack using materials we can supply in advance
We label boxes clearly and use professional packing materials: double-walled cartons, export wrap, mattress covers and protective blankets.
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our trained crew arrives on time, walks through the property with you and protects key areas such as floors, bannisters and doors. We load systematically, securing items in the vehicle using straps and blankets to prevent movement in transit. Vehicles are maintained, clean and appropriately sized for your load.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload in line with your labelling and room plan. Furniture is reassembled if agreed, and we place items where you want them, not just in the nearest room. Before leaving, we check each room with you to ensure nothing has been missed.
Transparent Pricing & How We Charge
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of goods and number of rooms
- Distance between properties
- Access issues (stairs, lifts, parking restrictions)
- Level of service (self-pack, part-pack or full packing)
- Additional services such as dismantling, reassembly or storage
Your quotation will set out exactly what is included, any optional extras and our payment terms. If your circumstances change, we re-confirm costs before the move, so you always know where you stand.
Why Choose Professional Removals over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
DIY moves or informal man-and-van options can appear cheaper, but they carry risks: lack of insurance, inadequate equipment, unreliable timings and potential damage to your belongings or property. With Harringay Movers you benefit from:
- Fully insured services
- Trained staff who move heavy and fragile items daily
- Proper vehicles with securing points and protective equipment
- Planned schedules and clear communication
- Written documentation and agreed terms
This means fewer unpleasant surprises and a significantly lower chance of damage, delay or injury.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We operate to recognised industry standards and take our responsibilities seriously. Our cover includes:
- Goods in transit insurance – protection for your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover – protection in case of accidental damage to third-party property or injury
Our crews are trained in safe lifting techniques, packing methods and property protection. We maintain a consistent team wherever possible, so you see familiar, professional faces rather than a rotating cast of unknown labour.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings and property with the same care we would expect in our own homes. Floors, carpets and doorways are protected where necessary, and furniture is wrapped and secured properly. We handle fragile and sentimental items with particular attention.
We also aim to work as sustainably as we reasonably can. Where suitable, we reuse strong cartons, minimise single-use plastics and plan routes carefully to reduce unnecessary mileage. Materials that are no longer usable are disposed of responsibly, and we encourage customers to recycle unwanted items before move day.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House in Harringay
Typical house moves involve packing over one or two days, followed by move day loading, transport and unloading aligned with your key handover. We coordinate with your estate agent or solicitor timings where necessary and keep you informed if anything changes on the day.
Office Relocations
For offices, we often work outside normal hours or at weekends to reduce disruption. We can label and move workstations, IT, archives and storage, following a pre-agreed layout so your staff can sit down and start work with minimal delay.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves arise unexpectedly – chain issues, landlord changes or other emergencies. Where our schedule allows, we offer short-notice and occasional same-day assistance. Even at short notice, we maintain the same focus on planning, protection and clear communication.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals in Harringay typically cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of the property, volume of belongings, distance travelled and level of service required. A small flat move within Harringay will usually cost less than a larger family home moving across the country. After a brief conversation and, where appropriate, a survey, we provide a clear written quotation. This will show exactly what is included, any optional extras and our payment terms, so you can compare like-for-like with other removal companies and budget with confidence.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removal jobs?
Where our schedule and staffing allow, we can often help with urgent or short-notice moves. Same-day removals are occasionally possible, particularly for smaller flats or partial loads, but they depend on vehicle and crew availability. The sooner you contact us, the better chance we have of accommodating your dates. Even for urgent work, we still follow a structured process: a quick assessment, confirmation of price and scope, and clear expectations around timings and what we can realistically achieve.
What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?
All moves carried out by Harringay Movers are backed by goods in transit insurance, meaning your items are protected while they are being transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to buildings or injury to third parties. During the quotation stage we explain the key terms, any limits or exclusions and how to declare particularly high-value items. You remain responsible for arranging any additional cover you may wish, but our standard policies provide appropriate protection for most customers.
What is included in a standard removals service?
A standard removals service includes the supply of a suitable vehicle, a trained crew, protective blankets and equipment, loading at your current address, safe transport and unloading at your new property. We place items in the rooms you choose and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture if agreed in advance. Packing materials and packing services can be added as required. Our written quotation lists exactly what is included so that there is no confusion on move day.
How is a professional removal company different from a man-and-van?
A professional removal company offers structured planning, fully insured services, trained staff and suitable vehicles equipped for larger, more complex moves. We carry protective materials, tools, trolleys and securing straps as standard, and we provide written quotes and clear terms. A casual man-and-van may be adequate for a single item or very small move, but often operates without insurance or guarantees. For most home and office moves, a professional remover significantly reduces the risk of damage, delay and unexpected costs.
How far in advance should I book my removal date?
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking as soon as you have a strong idea of your moving timeframe, especially if you are aiming for a Friday or month-end, which are often busier. Many customers confirm their booking two to four weeks before move day. However, we understand that completion dates can change, so we remain as flexible as possible. If you need to move at short notice, contact us and we will advise on the earliest availability and practical options.
