Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with details of what you need moved, the addresses and any time constraints. We will ask a few questions about access, parking, floors and key items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate. For straightforward moves, we can often quote from your description and photos.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex removals, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us measure bulky items, check stairways and lifts, and identify any dismantling required. The survey helps us allocate the right size vehicle, team and equipment, and it ensures the quote is accurate and transparent.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day, or beforehand if you prefer, we can provide a packing service using quality boxes and wrapping materials. We protect furniture with padded covers, blankets and shrink-wrap where needed. Floors, bannisters and doorways are also protected to avoid damage to your property. If you opt to pack yourself, we can supply packing materials in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional, trained team loads your furniture in a planned order, securing everything in the vehicle with straps and padding. Heavy and fragile items are handled using suitable lifting techniques and equipment. Your goods are covered under our goods in transit insurance during the journey, whether it is within Bromley or further afield.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload carefully and place furniture in the rooms you specify. Where agreed in advance, we can reassemble beds, wardrobes and other dismantled furniture. We take away our protective materials and leave your new space tidy, so you can start settling in straight away.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume and type of furniture
- Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to parking)
- Distance between addresses
- Level of service (labour only, packing, dismantling/reassembly, materials)
- Any special handling requirements
You will receive a written quote that explains what is included. There are no hidden extras for items we have agreed in advance. If your requirements change, we will always discuss any price adjustments before carrying out additional work.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van?
While a DIY move or casual man-and-van may seem cheaper, it often ends up costing more in time, stress and potential damage. With Bromley Movers, you benefit from:
- Trained staff using correct lifting and handling techniques
- Suitable vehicles with securing points and protective equipment
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Proper planning to avoid access and parking issues
- Efficient loading and unloading, reducing disruption to your day
DIY moves often rely on borrowed vehicles, inadequate protection and untrained helpers, which can quickly lead to breakages, injuries or extra journeys. A casual man-and-van service may not offer proper insurance or written terms. With us, you know exactly where you stand.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible removals company, we operate to clear professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your furniture while it is being moved
- Public liability insurance for peace of mind in your home or business premises
- Trained moving teams with experience in handling bulky and fragile items
- Documented procedures for handling claims and resolving issues
We are transparent about what our insurance covers and any limitations, so you can make informed decisions. If you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss additional cover or specialist handling.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your furniture and property with care. Our teams use heavy-duty furniture blankets, quilted covers, corner protectors and floor protection. Items are handled methodically, not rushed. Where dismantling is required, we keep fittings safe and labelled for straightforward reassembly.
We also aim to work sustainably. We reuse durable packing materials where appropriate, offer reusable crate options for certain moves, and plan routes carefully to reduce unnecessary mileage. Where clients no longer need certain furniture, we can signpost local charities and reuse schemes rather than defaulting to disposal.
Real-World Uses for Our Furniture Removals Service
Moving House
From one-bedroom flats to large family homes, we handle full household moves across Bromley and beyond. We can coordinate with your key collection time and work around completion dates, helping to keep a busy day under control.
Office and Commercial Relocations
We move desks, chairs, filing systems, stock and fixtures for offices, shops and other commercial premises. Out-of-hours working and phased moves are available to minimise interruption to your operations.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes circumstances change unexpectedly – a tenancy ends sooner than planned, or a sale completes quickly. Subject to availability, we can often accommodate short-notice or urgent moves, providing the same professional standards on a tighter timescale.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture removal in Bromley cost?
The cost depends mainly on how much furniture you have, the distance between addresses, and how easy the access is at each property. Smaller flat moves might be priced on an hourly basis, while larger household or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Additional services such as packing, dismantling or storage will affect the final cost. We always provide a clear written quote before work starts, so you know exactly what you are paying for and what is included.
Can you handle same-day or urgent furniture removals?
We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves, particularly for smaller loads, depending on our existing bookings and crew availability. If you need an urgent removal, contact us as early as possible with full details so we can check our schedule and advise honestly. Where we can assist, we will give you a clear indication of arrival time, likely duration and costs, ensuring that even short-notice jobs are properly planned and safely carried out.
What insurance cover do you provide for my furniture?
Your furniture is protected by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved in our vehicles, and by our public liability insurance while we are working in your property. These policies are designed to cover unforeseen damage directly caused during the removals process, within stated limits. We can explain the cover in detail and provide documentation if required. For very high-value or unusual items, it may be sensible to check your own home or business insurance, or we can discuss options for additional cover.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained removals team, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We also carry out basic protection of key areas such as doorways and bannisters. Optional extras include full or partial packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, supply of packing materials, and short- or long-term storage. All inclusions and any optional services you choose are listed clearly in your written quote so you can see exactly what is covered.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service often provides transport only, with limited labour, equipment or insurance. Our service is a fully managed removals solution delivered by experienced staff. We plan access, provide sufficient manpower, use professional protective materials and secure your furniture correctly in purpose-built vehicles. You also benefit from goods in transit and public liability insurance, written terms and a clear quote. This level of structure and accountability significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays or misunderstandings on moving day.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For most moves, booking two to four weeks in advance is ideal, especially if you are moving on a busy day such as a Friday or month-end. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, reserve the right size vehicle and team, and plan any additional services such as packing. That said, we understand that moves do not always come with much notice. If your dates are tight, contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate you.
