• Home removals – houses, flats, maisonettes and HMOs

Local Harringay Knowledge That Makes Moving Easier

Knowing Harringay well is a real advantage on moving day. Our teams understand the one-way systems, bus lanes, permit parking, and tight roads around Green Lanes, St Ann's, Turnpike Lane and Manor House. We plan vehicle sizes, loading points and timings around local conditions to minimise delays and disruption to you and your neighbours.

We are used to dealing with top-floor conversions, narrow staircases and controlled parking zones. In advance of your move we advise on permits, access, and any special handling needed for awkward items so that everything runs smoothly on the day.

Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are selling a terraced house off Harringay Ladder or moving into your first home, we manage the full move, from packing delicate items to placing furniture in the correct rooms at your new property.

Renters

We regularly help tenants moving between flats, HMOs and studio apartments. We are careful with communal areas and stairwells and can work with tight lift access and strict move-in/move-out time slots specified by managing agents.

Landlords

Landlords use Harringay Movers for tenancy changeover removals, including clearing properties at short notice, moving furniture between units, and delivering new furnishings while minimising void periods.

Businesses

Small offices, shops and studios rely on our commercial removals for minimal downtime. We can move desks, IT, stock and equipment, and schedule work outside your trading hours where possible.

Students

Students moving to or from North London halls and shared houses benefit from our compact, budget-friendly bookings. We are used to multiple pick-ups, tight deadlines and shared accommodation.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

Our teams are trained and equipped to move most household and office contents, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes and general furniture
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers
• IT equipment, TVs and audio systems
• Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and files
• Kitchenware, ornaments and fragile items (with proper packing)
• Garden furniture, tools and standard outdoor items

Items Excluded or Requiring Special Arrangement

Certain items are excluded from standard removals for safety, legal or insurance reasons. Typically, we cannot move:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, paint, chemicals)
• Illegal items or substances
• Unboxed loose liquids or open food
• Very high-value items without prior declaration and agreement
• Large pianos, safes or specialist machinery without a tailored quotation

If you have unusual or heavy items, let us know at the enquiry stage so we can advise on safe handling options.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quotation

You contact us with details of your move: addresses, property types, dates and any particular concerns. We provide a clear, no-obligation quotation based on the volume of belongings, access, and distance. Where possible, we offer a couple of options (for example, with or without packing) so you can choose what suits your budget and timescale.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything beyond a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be a video call walkthrough or an onsite visit in Harringay. The survey allows us to assess stairs, lifts, parking, and awkward items, and to calculate the right van size and team. An accurate survey reduces the risk of surprises on the day and helps keep your costs transparent.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer a full packing service, a fragile-only option, or supply of professional materials if you prefer to pack yourself. If we are packing, we typically arrive the day before or early on moving day, using double-walled boxes, wrapping paper and padded covers. Furniture that needs dismantling is taken apart carefully, with fittings kept together and clearly labelled.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day we arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and key walkways where needed, and systematically load your belongings. Items are wrapped and secured in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. Our professional drivers use routes suited to larger vehicles, taking into account Harringay traffic patterns and any time-based restrictions.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you need them. We reassemble any items we dismantled and can position key pieces to help you get settled quickly. Before leaving, we carry out a final walk-through with you to check nothing has been missed or left in the vehicle.

Transparent Pricing for Removals in Harringay

We price each move according to the volume of goods, distance travelled, access conditions, number of staff needed and whether packing is included. Our quotations are clear and itemised so you can see what you are paying for.

Typical elements affecting cost:

• Property size and number of rooms
• Stairs vs lift, long carries or poor access
• Number of dismantle/reassemble items
• Distance between properties
• Additional services such as packing or packing materials

There are no hidden charges for standard work agreed in advance. Any potential extras – such as storage, additional trips or changes in scope – are discussed and confirmed with you before we proceed.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Hiring a professional removals company is not just about convenience. It is about risk, safety and efficiency. With DIY or a casual man-and-van, you may face a lack of insurance, unsuitable vehicles, insufficient manpower and limited accountability if something goes wrong.

With Harringay Movers you benefit from:

• Trained and experienced moving teams
• Appropriate equipment – trolleys, covers, straps and tools
• Planned loading to protect your belongings and use van space efficiently
• Timed arrivals and proper communication
• Formal contracts, goods in transit insurance and public liability cover

This reduces the chances of damage, delays and unnecessary stress, especially in busy areas like Harringay.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Harringay Movers operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while being moved
• Public liability cover for work in and around your property
• Trained and vetted staff who follow clear handling procedures

We provide written confirmations of cover on request and outline our terms and conditions in plain language so you know exactly how your items are protected. Fragile, high-value or unusual pieces are flagged during the survey so we can plan additional precautions where required.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Our approach is based on careful handling, respect for your home and consideration for the environment. We use padded transit blankets, mattress and sofa covers, and appropriate wrapping for delicate items. Floors and banisters are protected where needed, and we take care not to mark walls or communal areas.

On the sustainability side, we use reusable protective materials and sturdy, long-life crates or boxes where practical. Cardboard boxes can be collected for reuse or recycling, reducing waste from your move. We also plan routes and scheduling to minimise unnecessary mileage.

Office Relocation

For local businesses, we plan office removals to keep downtime to a minimum. We can move in stages, working evenings or weekends by arrangement, and we label furniture and crates clearly to make set-up at the new site efficient.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Life does not always give much warning. Where availability allows, we can support urgent or same-day removals within Harringay and nearby areas. The more detail you can provide at enquiry stage, the faster we can confirm a realistic plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Harringay typically cost?

Costs vary depending on property size, volume of belongings, access and distance travelled. A small flat move within Harringay will usually be at the lower end, while a larger house move with packing and complex access will be higher. We do not use one-size-fits-all pricing; instead, we provide a tailored quotation after a brief assessment or survey. This ensures you only pay for the resources actually required. All quotes are clear and itemised so you understand exactly what is included before you book.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

We can often help with same-day or short-notice removals in Harringay, depending on existing bookings and the scale of your move. Smaller flat or student moves are usually easier to arrange at short notice than large house or office relocations. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early in the day as possible with addresses, access details and a rough list of items. We will confirm quickly whether we can assist, what is realistic for the timeframe, and any options to split the move if needed.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We operate with goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved, as well as public liability cover for work at your properties. Insurance is there as a safety net; our primary focus is on preventing damage through proper packing, careful handling and secure loading. During your booking we explain the main terms of cover, including any limits or exclusions, and we encourage you to highlight particularly high-value or fragile items so we can plan extra protection where appropriate.

What is included in a standard removals service?

A standard removals service typically includes a professional team, a suitable vehicle, loading at your current property, safe transport, and unloading at your new address. We handle furniture, boxed items and standard household contents. Optional extras include packing, unpacking, provision of materials and dismantling or reassembling furniture. Parking, surveys and coordination with building management can also be arranged where needed. Your written quotation will clearly specify what is and is not included, so there is no confusion about the level of service you can expect on moving day.

How is a professional removals company different from a man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small jobs, but for most moves a professional removals company offers far greater reliability and protection. We provide trained staff, appropriate equipment, insurance cover, written terms and planned logistics. This means fewer risks of damage, delays or no-shows. We also conduct surveys where required, allocate the correct size vehicle and team, and follow structured loading methods. For larger households, offices or moves involving fragile or valuable items, these factors make a significant difference to the overall safety and smoothness of your move.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

For most Harringay moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed date, ideally two to four weeks in advance for busy periods such as month-end or summer. This gives us time to arrange surveys, parking permits and any packing services you require. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter-notice moves where our schedule allows. Even if your date is not yet fixed, an early conversation helps us pencil you in and plan resources, making it more likely we can support you when your completion or handover date is confirmed.
