Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Moving house within or out of Dulwich? We manage complete household furniture moves, including dismantling and reassembly of beds, wardrobes and larger items. Our crews are used to tight access, multi-storey homes and parking challenges typical of Dulwich streets.

Renters in Flats and Houseshares

If you are upsizing, downsizing or moving between rented properties, we offer flexible flat and apartment removals. We work considerately in shared buildings, protect communal areas and coordinate timings with your building management where required.

Landlords and Letting Agents

We support landlords needing furniture removal and clearance between tenancies. From removing unwanted items to repositioning furniture between properties, we work quickly and reliably, keeping you updated throughout.

Businesses and Offices

For local businesses, we provide office furniture removals, including desks, filing cabinets, meeting room furniture and reception areas. We can work outside normal hours to keep disruption to a minimum and label items so they go straight to the correct workstation or room.

Students

Students moving to or from Dulwich and nearby universities can use our cost-effective student removals for furniture, mattresses, desks and personal belongings. We offer shared loads and smaller vans for lighter moves, keeping costs sensible.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with your details, including addresses, access notes and a brief list of furniture. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you share, tailored to your dates and requirements.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger moves, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us see your furniture, access, parking and any stairs or lifts. It means no surprises on the day and allows us to send the right size vehicle, number of professional movers and protective materials.

3. Packing & Preparation

On moving day, or beforehand if booked, our team arrives to prepare your furniture. We use padded covers, export blankets, shrink wrap and corner protectors. Where needed, we provide part or full packing services for smaller items and contents of furniture.

4. Loading & Transport

Your furniture is carefully carried out, protecting walls, doors and floors. Items are secured in our vehicles with straps and blankets to prevent shifting. Our drivers follow the agreed route and timings, keeping you informed if traffic affects arrival.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we place each item in the room you specify, not just in the hallway. Where we have dismantled furniture, we reassemble it as agreed. Before leaving, we walk through with you to ensure everything is positioned correctly.

Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals in Dulwich

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden charges. Our quotes are usually based on:

• Volume and type of furniture
• Travel distance between properties
• Access issues (stairs, lifts, long walks, parking restrictions)
• Number of movers required
• Additional services such as packing, dismantling or storage

For smaller moves or single items, we may price on a simple hourly rate with a minimum hire period. For full household or office moves, we usually provide a fixed price for the entire job so you know exactly where you stand.

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

Using a professional removals company like Dulwich Movers reduces risk, stress and disruption. Our trained teams know how to move heavy and delicate furniture safely, avoiding damage to your belongings and property. We bring the correct tools, covers and vehicles, and we are fully insured with proper goods in transit and public liability cover.

DIY or casual man-and-van services can appear cheaper at first glance, but often involve hidden costs in time off work, equipment hire, damage or injury. With us, you get a planned, accountable and reliable service from start to finish.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are protected throughout the move. Dulwich Movers carries:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect furniture while it is being moved and transported
• Public liability cover for peace of mind in homes, communal areas and business premises

Our crews are trained in safe lifting, furniture handling, wrapping techniques and vehicle loading. We follow industry best practice, arrive in sign-written vehicles and wear suitable work clothing so you and your neighbours know who is at your property.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take the care of your furniture seriously. Every item is assessed before being moved so we can choose the right protection. Sofas and mattresses are covered, wooden furniture is wrapped to avoid scuffs, and we use floor protectors where needed.

We also think about our environmental impact. Wherever possible, we use reusable padded covers and blankets rather than single-use plastics, and we recycle cardboard and packaging materials. When clients ask us to dispose of old furniture, we aim to donate or recycle where practical, rather than send directly to landfill.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House in Dulwich

From Victorian terraces to modern apartments, we regularly handle full household moves within Dulwich and beyond. We manage the schedule with your completion time, work around keys and access, and coordinate closely with you and your estate agent or solicitor if needed.

Office Relocations

When a local business moves premises, we plan the furniture layout in advance, label items and ensure workstations are ready to use as quickly as possible. We can move in phases, at weekends or evenings, so you can keep trading with minimal downtime.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes a move comes up quickly – a tenancy ends early, a sale completes faster than expected, or a family situation changes. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day furniture removals in Dulwich, bringing in additional vehicles or crews where we can to help you meet tight deadlines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do furniture removals in Dulwich cost?

The cost depends on how much furniture you have, the distance between properties, access at each address and any extra services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller moves and single-item jobs are often priced on an hourly rate with a minimum charge, while full household or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Once we have your details or have carried out a survey, we provide a clear written quotation so you know exactly what is included and there are no surprises on the day.

Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture removals?

We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Dulwich, especially for smaller jobs or single items, but it does depend on existing bookings and crew availability. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with your details, and we will confirm what we can do. Where we cannot manage the exact time you want, we will usually be able to offer alternative slots the same or next day and advise how to prioritise key items so you are not left without essentials.

What insurance cover do you provide for my furniture?

Your furniture is protected throughout the move by our goods in transit insurance, which covers items while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded. We also hold public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to property during the move. Our aim is always to prevent issues through careful handling and proper packing, but if something does go wrong, you have formal protection in place. We will explain the key terms and any limits or exclusions when we provide your quotation, so everything is transparent.

What is included in your furniture removals service?

Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, protective covers and blankets, safe loading, secure transport and placement of furniture into the rooms you choose at the new property. If requested, we can add dismantling and reassembly of beds and wardrobes, packing of smaller items, provision of boxes and materials, and short or long-term storage. We always protect floors and doorways where needed and can work around lift bookings or parking restrictions, provided these are discussed in advance.

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

While some man-and-van operators do a good job, our service is structured, accountable and backed by insurance and trained staff. We plan your move, carry out surveys for larger jobs, bring the correct equipment and provide written quotations and booking confirmations. Our vehicles are properly equipped for removals, with straps, blankets and protective covers. If anything unexpected happens, we have the resources and experience to resolve it. In short, you benefit from a more reliable, safer and less stressful move than most casual options can offer.

How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?

For full house or office moves, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, especially for Fridays and month-end dates, which are often busiest in Dulwich. If your dates are not fixed, we can pencil you in and confirm closer to the time. For smaller moves or single items, we can usually arrange something with a few days’ notice and sometimes even same-day. The earlier you contact us, the more choice of times and dates you will have and the easier it is for us to plan your move smoothly.
