Furniture Removals
Furniture Removals Hampstead – Hampstead Movers
Hampstead Movers provides specialist furniture removals throughout Hampstead and the surrounding North West London areas. As a local, experienced removals company, we focus on moving your furniture safely, efficiently and with minimum disruption to your day.
Professional Furniture Removals in Hampstead
Our furniture removals service is designed for anyone who needs items moved carefully and correctly, whether it is a single piece or the contents of an entire property. We use trained staff, the right equipment and well-maintained vehicles to protect your furniture from the moment we arrive to the moment it is placed in its new position.
Every move is handled by a professional, uniformed team who understand how to protect walls, floors and stairwells in typical Hampstead homes and mansion blocks. From heavy wardrobes to delicate designer pieces, we plan each move properly so nothing is rushed or left to chance.
Local Hampstead Expertise
Working across Hampstead every day means we understand the area’s specific challenges – narrow streets, controlled parking zones, top-floor flats and period properties with tight staircases. We routinely arrange parking suspensions where required and select the right size vehicle for your street.
We regularly carry out furniture removals in areas such as Belsize Park, Swiss Cottage, West Hampstead, Finchley Road and neighbouring postcodes, so we know how to schedule moves to avoid peak congestion and minimise waiting time for you.
Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are moving within Hampstead or further afield, we can move all your household furniture, from large corner sofas and solid oak tables to beds, wardrobes and garden furniture.
Renters
If you are moving between flats or house shares, we handle everything from bed frames and chests of drawers to bookcases and TVs, ensuring your deposit is protected by careful handling of communal areas.
Landlords
We support landlords with furnished and part-furnished property moves, including removing old furniture, delivering new items and rearranging layouts between tenancies.
Businesses
For offices, studios and clinics, we move desks, filing cabinets, reception furniture, shelving and meeting-room tables. We can also provide office furniture relocation out of hours to reduce downtime.
Students
Students moving in or out of Hampstead halls and shared houses often need help with a handful of bulky pieces: mattresses, desks, chairs and small wardrobes. We offer cost-effective small-load options to suit tight budgets.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Bookcases, shelving units and display cabinets
- Desks, office chairs and filing cabinets
- TV units, coffee tables and occasional furniture
- Outdoor furniture, benches and patio sets

Items Typically Excluded
For safety, insurance and legal reasons, we usually cannot move:
- Hazardous materials (paints, fuel, gas bottles, chemicals)
- Illegal items or anything that cannot be legally transported
- Live animals or pets
- High-value jewellery, cash or important documents (these are best carried by you)
- Very large fixed items that are built into the property without prior agreement
If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise before moving day.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a list of the furniture you need moved, the addresses involved and your preferred date. We will ask a few questions about access, stairs and parking so we can provide a clear, no-obligation estimate. Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden charges.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves or complex access, we may carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to check measurements, doorways and staircases, and to understand any fragile or bespoke items that need special handling. A survey helps us send the right size team and vehicle, and plan the move properly.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full packing service – we bring materials and pack smaller items, then prepare and protect your furniture.
- Part packing – we focus on fragile or larger items only.
- Self-packed – you pack your belongings; we professionally wrap and protect the furniture itself.
On the day, we protect furniture with blankets, covers and, where needed, corner guards and stretch wrap.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team will dismantle furniture where necessary, load items in a safe order and secure them using straps and padding. We operate modern vehicles suitable for Hampstead’s streets, driven by experienced drivers who understand how to protect loads during transit.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we place each piece of furniture in the room you choose, reassemble any dismantled items and make sure everything is positioned where you want it. We take time to avoid damage to walls, floors and doors, and will not leave until you are satisfied with the layout.
Transparent Furniture Removals Pricing
Furniture removals pricing depends on several factors:
- Number and size of items
- Distance between properties
- Access (stairs, lifts, parking restrictions)
- Level of service (packing, dismantling, reassembly)
- Day and time of the move
We usually price jobs on a fixed quotation, so you know the cost in advance. For very small or flexible jobs, an hourly rate may be more economical. All quotes are clearly itemised, with any extra services agreed beforehand. There are no surprise extras on the day.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
While hiring a van or booking a casual man-and-van might look cheaper, it often leads to hidden costs: damage to furniture, injury from incorrect lifting, parking fines or wasted time due to poor planning. Our service includes:
- Trained teams who know how to lift and manoeuvre heavy items safely
- Proper protective materials to avoid damage
- Reliable timings, confirmed in advance
- Fully insured vehicles and staff, giving you peace of mind
With Hampstead’s parking and access challenges, a professional removals company typically saves both time and stress compared with DIY options.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Hampstead Movers operates with comprehensive goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being transported, as well as public liability cover for work carried out in your property. Our team members are fully briefed on handling valuable and fragile items, and we follow established industry best practice at every stage.
We believe that being fully insured, well trained and properly equipped is essential, not optional. If you need details of our cover limits for a particular move, we are happy to provide documentation.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your furniture and your property with care. Floors can be protected on request, and furniture is wrapped using blankets, covers and other protection appropriate to the item. Where possible, we reuse durable protective materials and responsibly source packing supplies to reduce waste.
We also plan routes sensibly to cut unnecessary mileage and emissions. For unwanted furniture in reasonable condition, we can recommend local charities and recycling options in and around Hampstead, helping to keep items in use rather than sending them straight to landfill.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Hampstead cost?
The cost depends mainly on how much furniture you have, the distance between properties and how easy the access is. Smaller local jobs, such as moving a few items between flats, may be charged on an hourly basis, while full-property moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Optional services like packing, dismantling and reassembly will affect the total. Once we know what needs moving and where, we provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you are paying for before you book.
Can you provide same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate same-day or short-notice furniture removals in Hampstead and nearby areas. Availability depends on existing bookings, vehicle size and the scale of your move. Smaller jobs are often easier to fit in at short notice. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details of your items and addresses. We will let you know quickly what options we have, along with an accurate estimate for the work.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved in our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work inside your property. Our team also follows strict handling procedures and uses protective materials to minimise the risk of damage. We are happy to explain the scope and limits of our insurance before you book, so you have a clear understanding of how your items are protected and whether you may wish to arrange any additional cover of your own.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes providing an appropriate vehicle, a trained removals team, basic protection for your furniture, careful loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms of your choice. If agreed in advance, we can also offer dismantling and reassembly of certain items, packing services for smaller belongings and the supply of packing materials. Parking arrangements, packing and any disposal of unwanted items are not automatically included, but we can assist or advise on these as part of your quotation.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals service offers more than just transport. You benefit from trained staff, proper planning, suitable protective equipment and fully insured vehicles. We carry out surveys where needed, assess access and parking, and send a team sized correctly for the job. A casual man-and-van may not provide the same level of care, documentation or protection if something goes wrong. For valuable or bulky furniture, using a professional removals company usually provides better protection and a smoother, less stressful experience overall.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or are moving on a busy day such as a Friday or month-end. This gives us time to arrange surveys if required, confirm parking and schedule the right team. However, we understand that not every move can be planned so far ahead. If your timings are tight, contact us as soon as you know your date and we will do our best to fit you in.
