Local Harringay Expertise
Working in Harringay day in, day out means we understand the local streets, parking restrictions, building layouts and typical access challenges. From ladder-access flats on Green Lanes to terraced houses off Harringay Ladder, we plan ahead for staircases, tight corridors, and controlled parking zones.
We can advise on parking suspensions, best loading points and preferred time slots to minimise disruption to neighbours and traffic. This local knowledge keeps your move smoother, quicker and less stressful.
Who Our Removal Services Are For
Homeowners
Whether upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, homeowners benefit from a fully managed moving service. We can include full packing, dismantling and reassembly of beds, wardrobes and other bulky furniture, as well as protection for floors and banisters.
Renters
We regularly help tenants move between rented flats and houses, often to tight check-out and key handover times. We work efficiently to help you leave the property clean and clear, avoiding damage to walls, lifts and communal areas.
Landlords
Landlords use our clearance and removal options when changing tenants, refurbishing, or preparing a property for sale. We can remove unwanted furniture, carefully store items you wish to keep, and coordinate with cleaners and other trades where needed.
Businesses
Local shops, offices and small enterprises rely on us for office and commercial removals. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock and archives with minimal downtime, often outside normal working hours to keep disruption low.
Students
Students moving to and from Harringay and nearby universities appreciate our small-move options. We can handle rooms, small flats or shared houses, and we’re used to working around tight lease dates and limited budgets.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or via our online form. We’ll ask a few key questions about your current and new address, property size, access, preferred dates and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide an initial transparent, no-obligation quote, typically the same day.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything beyond a very small move, we carry out a survey. This can be a video call walkthrough or an in-person visit, depending on your preference and schedule. We note volumes, fragile items, parking, stairs, lifts and any dismantling needed. The survey allows us to confirm your vehicle size, crew numbers and final price accurately.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, we arrive promptly and begin packing (if you have chosen our packing service). We use strong cartons, wrapping paper, bubble wrap and export wrap for particularly delicate or high-value items. Furniture is protected with covers and blankets, and mattresses are bagged. If you choose to do your own packing, we can supply materials in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional team loads your belongings carefully, securing everything in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. Each item is handled with care, with heavy and bulky pieces managed by multiple team members. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the road, and our drivers take suitable routes to avoid unnecessary bumps and delays.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival at your new property, we unload systematically, placing furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble previously dismantled items such as beds and wardrobes, and will not leave until you are satisfied that all agreed work is complete. We remove our waste packing materials or stack them neatly for your reuse, depending on what you prefer.
Clear and Transparent Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote is based on:
- Volume of goods and size of property
- Distance between addresses
- Access conditions (stairs, parking, lifts, long carries)
- Services required – such as packing, dismantling, storage or specialist handling
- Day and time (weekends or out-of-hours moves may carry a premium)
All charges are explained before you book, and any potential additional costs (such as waiting time if keys are delayed) are described clearly in advance. We can offer fixed-price moves for most standard jobs, giving you confidence in your total cost.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a professional removals company like Harringay Movers provides several advantages over DIY moves or informal man-and-van services:
- Fully insured vehicles and cover for your goods during transit
- Trained teams who understand correct lifting, loading and protection techniques
- Reliable scheduling, written confirmations and clear communication
- Appropriate vehicles and equipment for larger or more complex moves
- Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and property
- Far less physical strain and stress for you and your family or staff
While moving yourself can appear cheaper, the hidden costs of vehicle hire, fuel, packing materials, lost time and potential damage often outweigh the savings. A professional service provides structure and security when you need it most.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised industry standards.
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are on our vehicles, subject to policy terms
- Public liability cover – covering accidental damage to third-party property or injury, giving reassurance to you and your building managers
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in safe lifting, loading and packing techniques, and are briefed on each job before arrival
We provide written confirmation of cover on request and are always happy to discuss how our insurance applies to your particular move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped and protected, floors and banisters are covered where needed, and fragile items are clearly labelled and packed with appropriate materials. We encourage sensible labelling so that boxes go straight to the correct rooms at your new property.
From a sustainability perspective, we re-use sturdy packing materials where appropriate, offer collection of used boxes for re-use, and plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage. Many clients also choose our part-packing options to minimise waste and focus materials on the items that genuinely need extra protection.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House in Harringay
For a typical three-bedroom house move within Harringay, we can provide a full packing service one day, with the move the next. Our team will dismantle large furniture, protect carpets, and complete the full move usually within a single day, subject to key release times.
Office Relocation
For a small office changing premises locally, we’ll plan your move around your business hours. Desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment are carefully labelled and positioned in the new office layout to keep downtime to a minimum.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves happen unexpectedly – last-minute tenancy changes, relationship breakdowns, or urgent relocations for work. When our schedule allows, we provide same-day or next-day removal options, focusing on essential items first and adding further trips or storage as needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Harringay cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, volume of belongings, distance, access and any additional services such as packing or storage. A small flat move within Harringay might be priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger house or office moves are often quoted as a fixed price. After an enquiry and short survey, we’ll give you a clear, written quote with everything itemised so you can see exactly what you’re paying for and avoid unexpected extras.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removals?
Yes, subject to availability, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Harringay. It depends on the size of the job, crew availability and vehicle capacity on the day. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible and we’ll explain what we can realistically achieve, prioritising essential items if time is limited. Even for urgent work, we maintain our usual standards of care, protection and documentation so your move remains controlled and safe.
What insurance cover do you provide?
Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are on our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for added protection. Insurance operates under specific terms and limits, which we’re happy to outline and provide in writing. We always recommend that particularly high-value or sentimental items are discussed with us in advance so we can decide on the best handling and, where appropriate, you can check how they sit with your own home or business insurance policies.
What’s included in your removal service as standard?
As standard, our service includes a suitably sized vehicle, a trained removals team, protective blankets and equipment, loading and unloading, and door-to-door transport between the agreed addresses. We place items in the rooms you specify and will dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of packing materials, disposal of unwanted items and short or long-term storage. Everything included in your particular move will be clearly listed in your written quotation.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service typically provides basic transport with limited protection, planning or cover. A professional removals company like Harringay Movers offers trained staff, purpose-built vehicles, full insurance appropriate to the work, and a structured process from survey to completion. We carry specialist equipment, high-quality packing materials and have experience managing complex access, heavy items and tight schedules. The end result is less risk of damage, fewer delays, and a smoother, more predictable moving day for you.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
For most moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed date – ideally two to four weeks in advance for peak times such as Fridays and month-end. This gives us time to arrange surveys, materials and parking, and to reserve the right size vehicle and team. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Even if your date is not fully confirmed, it’s worth contacting us early so we can pencil you in and discuss likely options.
