Furniture Removals
Furniture Removals Enfield – Man and Van Enfield
At Man and Van Enfield, we provide reliable, carefully planned furniture removals across Enfield and the surrounding areas. As a locally based, experienced removals company, we handle everything from a single sofa to full home and office moves, with a focus on protection, punctuality and clear communication.
Professional Furniture Removals in Enfield
Our furniture removals service is designed for anyone who needs bulky or delicate items moved safely and efficiently. We use the right vehicles, protective materials and lifting techniques to keep your belongings secure from start to finish.
Whether you are moving a few items across Enfield, relocating a full house to another part of London, or clearing an office, we plan each job properly, allocate the right size team and vehicle, and keep you updated throughout the day.
Local Expertise in Enfield
As an Enfield-based company, we know the area, traffic patterns and parking restrictions inside out. This local knowledge allows us to:
- Plan realistic arrival and completion times
- Advise on parking suspensions or permits where needed
- Choose routes that protect your items from excessive jolting
- Navigate flats, estates and narrow streets confidently
This familiarity with Enfield means less waiting around for you and a smoother, more predictable move.
Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving house or refreshing your furniture, we can move full room sets, garden furniture, large wardrobes and appliances. We work carefully in both the property you are leaving and the one you are moving into, protecting floors, banisters and doorways.
Renters
For tenants moving between rented properties in Enfield, we offer flexible slots, including evenings and weekends. We are used to dealing with stairs, lifts and tight access, and we work neatly so you can hand back your keys with confidence.
Landlords
Landlords and letting agents use our furniture removals service to clear properties at the end of tenancies, swap furniture between units, or deliver new items to furnished lets. We can coordinate access with your tenants or key-holders to minimise disruption.
Businesses
We regularly help local businesses with office furniture removals, moving desks, chairs, filing cabinets, meeting tables and storage units. We can work outside normal business hours to reduce downtime and can coordinate with building management where required.
Students
Students in Enfield and nearby campuses often need small but heavy loads moved – beds, desks, bookcases and boxes. Our service is ideal for term-time moves, summer storage transfers and end-of-course clear-outs.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
We are equipped to move most household and office furniture, including:
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Beds, mattresses and bedroom suites
- Wardrobes, chests of drawers and cabinets
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Desks, office chairs and filing cabinets
- Bookcases, shelving units and TV units
- Freestanding appliances (e.g. washing machines, fridges) where safely disconnected
- Garden furniture and small outdoor items
Items We Normally Exclude
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some things we cannot move, such as:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or goods of unknown origin
- Live animals or plants requiring specialist transport
- Very high-value items (fine art, jewellery, large safes) without prior agreement
- Hard-wired appliances that are not disconnected by a qualified person
If you are unsure about a particular item, ask us during the quote stage and we will advise honestly.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with a brief description of what needs moving, where from and where to. We ask a few questions about access, floors, lifts and parking. Based on this, we give you a clear, no-obligation quote, either fixed price or hourly, depending on the job.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a short survey. This can often be done via video call or photos. For full property moves or tricky access, we may visit in person. The survey helps us confirm the correct vehicle size, number of movers, packing materials and timing.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day, or in advance if agreed, we protect your furniture with transit blankets and, where needed, shrink wrap or mattress covers. If requested, our team can dismantle simple items such as bed frames and tables and reassemble them at the new address. We label items clearly to ensure they end up in the right rooms.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your furniture in a logical, secure order to prevent movement during transit. We use straps and protective padding inside the vehicle to minimise any risk of damage. Then we transport your items via planned routes, keeping you informed of our estimated arrival time at the destination.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new property, we unload carefully, placing each item in the rooms you request. Where we have dismantled furniture, we reassemble it as agreed. Before leaving, we do a walk-through with you to ensure everything is in the right place and that you are happy with the result.
Transparent Pricing & How We Charge
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our furniture removals in Enfield are usually priced in one of two ways:
- Fixed-price moves – Ideal for clearly defined jobs where we can accurately assess the volume and access in advance.
- Hourly rate moves – Suitable for small, flexible or uncertain jobs, such as partial clearances or when you are still sorting items.
Factors that influence the price include the number of movers required, distance between addresses, access (stairs, long walks, parking restrictions) and any additional services such as dismantling or packing. All costs are explained in writing before you book.
Why Use Professional Removals Instead of DIY?
Hiring a professional removals team offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using an unstructured "man with a van":
- Proper equipment – We bring trolleys, straps, blankets and suitable vehicles.
- Reduced risk of damage – Experienced handling by trained staff helps protect both your belongings and your properties.
- Time saving – A well-organised team completes the job far quicker than a few friends and one small van.
- Insurance cover – Your goods are protected by the correct policies, which most casual services lack.
- Reliability – Agreed arrival times, written confirmation and a professional approach.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man and Van Enfield operates to clear, professional standards to give you peace of mind:
- Goods in transit insurance – Your furniture is covered while it is in our vehicles, subject to our terms and conditions.
- Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property while we work.
- Trained moving teams – Our staff are trained in safe lifting, loading and handling techniques.
We are happy to provide details of our cover and answer any questions before you book, so you know exactly where you stand.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take the care of your belongings seriously. Mattresses, sofas and polished furniture are wrapped or covered as needed, and we use floor protection where appropriate. Items are stacked to avoid pressure points and rubbing during transit.
We also work to reduce waste where possible. Our vehicles are maintained for efficiency, routes are planned to minimise unnecessary mileage, and we reuse durable packing materials such as blankets and crates. Where we provide packing materials, we encourage reuse and responsible recycling.
Typical Furniture Removals Use Cases
Moving House within or from Enfield
We regularly support full and partial house moves, from small flats to family homes. We can handle everything from single bulky pieces to an entire property.
Office and Commercial Moves
Businesses in Enfield rely on us to move furniture between floors, buildings or new premises. We can coordinate with your IT team and building management to ensure a smooth process.
Urgent and Same-Day Furniture Moves
When a sale completes sooner than expected, a tenancy ends abruptly or a large item needs to be moved quickly, we do our best to offer same-day or next-day availability, subject to schedule. Contact us as early as you can and we will prioritise time-sensitive jobs where possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Enfield cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access at each property, distance between addresses and the number of movers required. Smaller moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full house or office moves are often quoted as a fixed price after a brief survey. Our quotes are transparent and include labour, vehicle, fuel and standard insurance cover. There are no hidden charges, and any potential extras (such as dismantling or extra stops) are clearly explained before you confirm your booking.
Can you provide same-day or urgent furniture removals?
We can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Enfield, especially for smaller loads or single items, depending on our schedule and vehicle availability. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better the chance we can fit you in. For urgent work, we recommend phoning rather than emailing so we can respond immediately. While we cannot guarantee same-day slots every time, we will always be honest about what is realistically possible and suggest the soonest alternative if needed.
Are my items insured during the move?
Yes. Your furniture is protected by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our care and in our vehicles, subject to our terms and conditions. We also carry public liability cover for accidental damage to property. Insurance is not a substitute for careful handling, so our trained teams still treat every item responsibly. If you have particularly high-value or fragile pieces, let us know in advance so we can confirm the level of cover and take any extra precautions needed.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional moving team, protective blankets, basic wrapping for key items and secure loading and unloading at both addresses. We place furniture in the rooms you request and can, by prior agreement, dismantle and reassemble straightforward items such as bed frames and tables. Additional services, such as full packing of smaller items or disposal of unwanted furniture, can often be arranged at extra cost. Everything included will be clearly set out in your written quote before you book.
How are you different from a casual man-and-van service?
While the term "man and van" is in our name, we operate as a professional removals company rather than an ad-hoc service. We use properly equipped vehicles, trained staff, and we hold the appropriate insurance. Jobs are confirmed in writing, arrival times are agreed in advance, and we carry out surveys for larger moves. This structured approach reduces the risk of damage, delays or last-minute cancellations that can sometimes happen with informal operators. In short, you get the flexibility of a man-and-van with the standards of a removals firm.
How far in advance should I book?
For larger house or office moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time. Weekends and month-end dates tend to fill up fastest. Smaller furniture removals in Enfield can often be scheduled with shorter notice, and we will always try to accommodate you. If your moving date is not yet confirmed, we can pencil in a provisional slot and finalise details once you know more, helping you secure availability without pressure.
Piano Removals
Piano Removals Enfield – Specialist Local Piano Movers
Moving a piano is very different from moving ordinary furniture. At Man and Van Enfield, we provide a dedicated piano removals service across Enfield and North London, using the correct equipment, trained crews and proven techniques to move your piano safely and efficiently.
Professional Piano Removals in Enfield
Pianos are heavy, delicate instruments that need careful handling. Our team has hands-on experience moving upright, baby grand and grand pianos in tight London homes, flats and commercial spaces. We plan every move in detail, protecting the instrument, your property and our crew at every stage.
Whether you are moving a family heirloom, a valuable concert instrument or a well-loved upright, we treat every piano with the same level of care and attention.
Local Enfield Expertise
Based in Enfield, we understand the challenges of local properties, including narrow hallways, split-level maisonettes, high-rise flats and controlled parking zones. We regularly work in areas such as Enfield Town, Bush Hill Park, Winchmore Hill, Southgate and Palmers Green.
Our local knowledge helps us plan the best access routes, parking arrangements and timings, reducing disruption to you and your neighbours and keeping the move running smoothly.
Who Our Piano Removal Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving home or renovating and need your piano moved safely, we can relocate it within the same property or to a new address, coordinating with your main removals if required.
Renters
Flats and rented properties often involve stairs, lifts and tight turns. Our trained team uses specialist equipment to move pianos without damaging walls, floors or banisters, helping you protect your deposit.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We assist landlords who need pianos removed between tenancies or repositioned before refurbishment. We work tidily and reliably, with public liability cover for peace of mind.
Businesses & Venues
We support schools, churches, hotels, restaurants, music studios and performance venues with scheduled or one-off piano removals, including moves between sites or to storage.
Students & Music Learners
Moving into or out of student accommodation with a piano is challenging. We offer practical, cost-effective solutions for students and families, including short-distance moves across Enfield and neighbouring boroughs.
What Our Piano Removal Service Includes
Items Included
- Upright pianos (all sizes)
- Digital pianos and stage pianos
- Baby grand and grand pianos (subject to survey)
- Piano stools and benches
- Associated accessories (covers, music stands, pedals, etc.)
- Internal moves within the same property (room-to-room or floor-to-floor)
Items Excluded
- Moves requiring crane lifting without prior arrangement
- Disassembly or reassembly of complex grand pianos beyond standard removal tasks
- Long-term storage (we can arrange this through trusted partners)
- Repairs, tuning or restoration (we can recommend local specialists)
- Hazardous or prohibited items stored inside the piano or bench
If your piano move involves unusual access – such as external hoists, many flights of stairs or very restricted turns – we will discuss this in advance and advise on the safest method.
Our Step-by-Step Piano Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Tailored Quote
You contact us with basic details: piano type, current and destination addresses, property types, floor levels and any access constraints. We ask for photos or a short video where needed. Based on this, we provide a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex jobs, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. We measure doorways, staircases and lifts, confirm parking arrangements, and assess whether extra equipment or crew are required. This prevents surprises on the day and ensures we can move your piano safely and efficiently.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day, our trained team protects your piano and property. We may remove detachable parts such as music stands and pedals, wrap the piano in thick removal blankets and use protective film or covers. Floors, bannisters and doorframes are shielded where necessary to avoid scuffs and scratches.
4. Loading & Transport
We use professional piano skates, dollies and lifting straps, along with ramps where required. Your piano is secured inside our vehicle using heavy-duty straps and padding. Our vans are equipped for goods in transit insured removals, and we drive with extra care to minimise vibration and movement.
5. Unloading & Final Placement
At the destination, we position the piano exactly where you want it, subject to floor strength and access. We remove all protective materials and carry out a quick visual check with you before we leave. For best results, we recommend allowing the piano to settle before arranging tuning.
Transparent Piano Removal Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our piano removal costs depend mainly on:
- Type and size of piano (upright, baby grand, grand)
- Distance between properties
- Number of floors and presence of lifts
- Access difficulty (tight turns, steps, long carries)
- Any additional services required (internal moves, multiple stops)
Once we have all the details, we provide a fixed price or a clearly estimated range, explaining what is included. There are no surprise charges on the day, as long as the access and information provided are accurate.
Why Use Professional Piano Movers Instead of DIY
Attempting to move a piano yourself, or using a casual man-and-van service without specialist experience, carries real risk. Pianos are extremely heavy but also finely balanced instruments. Incorrect lifting or poor strapping can cause serious damage to the instrument, your property or the people involved.
By choosing a professional, fully insured team, you benefit from:
- Correct handling techniques to prevent injuries and damage
- Specialist moving equipment suited to pianos
- Appropriate insurance cover for your instrument
- Experienced crews who plan each move in detail
In most cases, using experts is more cost-effective than risking damage to an expensive piano or property repairs after a DIY attempt.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man and Van Enfield operates to high professional standards to protect your piano and your home.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your piano while it is being transported in our vehicles (within policy limits and terms).
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury while we are working on site.
- Trained moving teams – our crews are experienced in lifting, manoeuvring and securing pianos and other heavy items.
We are happy to provide proof of insurance and answer any questions you may have about coverage before you book.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take a careful, responsible approach to every piano move:
- Thick, reusable removal blankets and padded covers to protect the instrument
- Door, floor and bannister protection to keep your property in good condition
- Route planning to minimise risk and disruption
- Use of reusable packaging and blankets rather than single-use materials where possible
- Fuel-efficient route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage
Our aim is to move your piano safely while minimising waste and environmental impact.
Common Real-World Piano Removal Scenarios
Moving House in Enfield
We regularly coordinate piano removals as part of wider house moves. We can work alongside your main removals team or handle the piano as a separate, dedicated job to ensure it gets the attention it deserves.
Office, School and Venue Relocations
When businesses, schools or venues relocate, the piano is often the most complex single item. We plan these moves carefully, often outside of working hours to reduce disruption.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes pianos need to be moved quickly – for example, before building works, flooring changes or unexpected tenancy changes. Where possible, we offer short-notice and next-day appointments, subject to availability and access requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a piano removal in Enfield cost?
The cost of a piano removal depends on the type of piano, distance, access and floors involved. Upright pianos on the ground floor with straightforward access are usually at the lower end of the price range, while large grand pianos, multiple flights of stairs or complex access will cost more. Once we know your details, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with everything included, so you know exactly what to budget for before you decide to go ahead.
Can you do same-day or urgent piano removals?
We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice piano removals in Enfield, especially for local moves with simple access. Availability depends on our existing bookings and whether your move requires extra crew or equipment. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with full details and photos. We will tell you honestly what is feasible, provide a clear price, and, if we cannot help at the requested time, we will offer the nearest suitable alternative.
Is my piano insured while it is being moved?
Yes. Your piano is covered under our goods in transit insurance while it is being transported in our vehicle, subject to policy limits and standard terms. In addition, our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property or injury while we are working on site. We always handle instruments as if they were our own, using protective blankets and proper securing methods. If you have a particularly high-value or rare instrument, please let us know so we can confirm appropriate cover.
What is included in your piano removal service?
Our service includes planning the move, supplying the correct vehicle and equipment, a trained team to move and secure the piano, protective wrapping, loading, transport, unloading and positioning in the new location. We also protect key areas of your property as needed, such as door frames and floors. Optional extras, such as internal moves within the same building or multiple delivery addresses, can be added and priced clearly in advance so you know exactly what is included.
How is a specialist piano removal different from a standard man-and-van?
A standard man-and-van service may not have the experience, equipment or insurance needed for safe piano moving. Specialist piano removals involve trained crews who understand the instrument’s weight distribution and fragility, use skates, dollies and proper lifting techniques, and know how to secure the piano correctly in the vehicle. This greatly reduces the risk of damage to the piano and your property, and ensures you are properly covered if anything unexpected happens during the move.
How far in advance should I book a piano removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as weekends and the end of the month. However, we understand that situations change quickly, so we always try to help with short-notice requests where our schedule allows. The more information you can provide at the enquiry stage, the easier it is for us to confirm a slot and give you an accurate, fixed quotation.
Student Removals
Student Removals Enfield – Man and Van Enfield
At Man and Van Enfield, we specialise in straightforward, budget-friendly student removals across Enfield and the surrounding areas. Whether you are moving into halls, changing shared houses, or heading home for the summer, we make sure your move is organised, safe and on time.
What Our Student Removals Service Includes
Our student removals are designed to be flexible around term dates, exams and tight budgets. We handle everything from a single room to a full shared house move, always with professional care and planning.
Typical items we move for students
- Beds, mattresses and small wardrobes
- Desks, chairs, bookshelves and storage units
- Suitcases, boxes, books and coursework
- Computers, monitors, TVs and gaming equipment
- Kitchen equipment: microwaves, kettles, pans and utensils

- Livestock or pets
- Industrial machinery or items exceeding safe manual handling limits
- Perishable food for long journeys
- Cash, jewellery or high-value personal documents (these are best kept with you)
If you are unsure about an item, just ask when you enquire – we will advise on what we can carry and how best to pack it.
Local Enfield Expertise for Students
We have moved hundreds of students in and around Enfield. We know the local halls, residential streets and parking restrictions well, which helps us plan efficient routes and loading points. That local knowledge means less waiting around, fewer access problems and a smoother move on the day.
We regularly support students moving between Enfield and other university cities across the UK, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol and beyond. Whether you are moving around the corner or across the country, the same careful planning applies.
Who Our Student Removals Service Is For
- Homeowners with children at university who need reliable term-time and end-of-year moves.
- Renters moving between private student rentals, HMOs or flat shares.
- Landlords needing quick, tidy clearances or part-moves between student tenancies.
- Businesses supporting graduate schemes or relocating interns and trainees.
- Students needing a cost-effective, well-organised move without relying on friends’ cars or expensive courier services.
Why Choose Professional Student Removals Over DIY
Many students start by asking friends with cars or hiring a van themselves. On the day, it often becomes more stressful than expected. As a fully insured, professional removals company, we offer:
- Correct lifting techniques and equipment to prevent injuries and damage
- Purpose-built removal vehicles with straps, blankets and covers
- Trained teams used to navigating tight stairwells and shared houses
- Reliable arrival times – we do not cancel at the last minute
- Clear pricing agreed in advance, not guesswork on fuel and van hire costs
- Goods in transit insurance for added peace of mind
By the time you have paid for van hire, fuel, parking, and taken the risk of damage or injury, a professional service is often better value and far less stressful.
Our Step-by-Step Student Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with your current address, destination, rough move date and a list or photos of your main items. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume, access and distance, explaining exactly what is included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For student moves, a short virtual survey by video call or photos is usually enough. We confirm:
- Staircases, lifts and parking at both addresses
- Any fragile or high-value items needing extra protection
- Whether you need dismantling or reassembly of furniture
This lets us send the right size vehicle and number of movers.
3. Packing & Preparation
Most students prefer to pack themselves to save money. We can supply quality boxes, tape and packing materials, and give advice on how to pack books, electronics and fragile items safely. If you are busy with exams or work, we also offer a packing service where our team packs your room for you.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects doors and floors where needed, and carefully loads your belongings using removal blankets and straps. Everything is secured properly before we set off. We plan routes to avoid unnecessary delays and keep you updated on arrival times.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify – not just drop everything in the hallway. We can reassemble basic furniture that we dismantled for the move and place larger items where you want them, so you can settle in more quickly.
Transparent Pricing for Student Removals
We understand that students work to strict budgets, so our pricing is clear and explained upfront. Costs are based on:
- Volume of items and size of vehicle required
- Distance between properties
- Number of movers needed
- Optional services such as packing, materials and furniture assembly
We offer both fixed-price quotes for defined moves and hourly rates where that works out cheaper. There are no hidden weekend or "student" surcharges – everything is agreed before you book.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a professional removals company, Man and Van Enfield operates to recognised industry standards. Your belongings are protected by:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while we are working on-site
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff who handle your belongings correctly
We treat student moves with the same level of care as full house moves – your course notes, equipment and personal items are important, and we move them accordingly.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to move your belongings safely while minimising waste and environmental impact:
- Use of reusable moving blankets, trolleys and protective covers
- Encouraging re-use of sturdy boxes where appropriate
- Efficient route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Responsible disposal or recycling of unwanted items on request
We also provide practical packing guidance to reduce breakages and keep your belongings protected throughout the journey.
Real-World Student Removals Use Cases
Moving into or out of Halls
We regularly help first-year students move into halls, often with parents present, and then move them out again at the end of the year. We plan time slots carefully to work around busy campus access and limited parking.
Shared House and Flat Share Moves
Many of our jobs involve moving from halls into a shared house or between private rentals. We can move multiple housemates on the same day, splitting costs fairly and making sure each person’s belongings are clearly separated and labelled.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Sometimes tenancy dates change, or a room share does not work out. When this happens, we do our best to offer same-day or next-day moves, subject to availability, to get you relocated quickly and securely.
Long-Distance Term-Time Moves
If your family home is outside Enfield, we can move you door-to-door anywhere in mainland UK. This is often more practical and secure than posting multiple parcels or making several car trips.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a student removal in Enfield cost?
Costs vary depending on how much you are moving, the distance travelled and any extra services such as packing or furniture assembly. A small student move within Enfield can often be completed on an hourly rate, while longer-distance or larger moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Once you tell us what you need moved and where from and to, we will provide a clear written price with no hidden extras, so you can budget with confidence.
Can you do same-day or urgent student moves?
Yes, subject to availability. We understand that student tenancies and room changes can be last-minute, so we keep some flexibility in our schedule, especially around peak times such as the start and end of term. If you need a same-day or urgent move, contact us as early as possible with your details. We will confirm what we can offer, including the time slot, vehicle size and costs, so you can decide if it suits you before booking.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle, and our public liability cover protects you and your property while we are working at either address. We will explain the key terms when you book, including any limits or exclusions, so you know exactly where you stand. We still ask you to pack carefully and keep especially valuable personal items, such as passports and jewellery, with you where possible.
What is included in your student removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We protect your furniture and belongings with blankets and straps, and we can dismantle and reassemble simple furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include packing materials, full or part packing, furniture assembly, and disposal of unwanted items. All inclusions are itemised in your quote so that you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may simply turn up with a van and move items, often without formal training, checks or insurance. As a professional removals company, we provide fully insured vehicles, trained staff, written confirmation of your booking, and a structured process from survey to completion. We use the correct equipment, protect your belongings properly and plan access and parking in advance. This greatly reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute cancellations that can be stressful and costly.
How far in advance should I book my student move?
For peak periods such as September, June and early July, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. Outside busy periods, a week’s notice is often sufficient, and we can sometimes accommodate shorter notice, especially midweek. The earlier you contact us, the better we can plan your move, discuss any access issues and offer you the most cost-effective options. We always confirm bookings in writing so you know your slot is reserved.

- Placement of items in the rooms you choose

- Illegal or stolen goods
- Live animals (we can recommend specialist pet transporters)
- High-value items such as jewellery, cash and important documents (we advise you carry these personally)
- Very large or specialist items such as pianos, safes or gym machinery – these may be moved by prior agreement with correct equipment
Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: addresses, flat floor level, lift access, approximate volume of items and preferred moving date. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining what is and is not included. We are happy to break down costs so you know exactly what you are paying for.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a short survey. This can be virtual (photos, video call) or onsite in Enfield and nearby areas. We check access, parking, stairwells, lift rules and item sizes. This reduces the risk of unexpected issues on moving day and allows us to send the right size vehicle and team.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack your own boxes or use our packing service. If we are packing, we bring professional-grade boxes, tape, bubble wrap and wrapping paper. Furniture is protected with covers and blankets. We label boxes clearly by room to make unloading and unpacking more straightforward.
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our trained movers arrive on time, introduce themselves and walk through the flat with you. We plan the order items are removed, protecting communal areas where needed. We then load the vehicle carefully and transport your belongings in fully insured vehicles, driving sensibly to minimise movement.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload in an organised way, placing items in the rooms of your choice. We reassemble any agreed furniture and position larger pieces where you want them. Before we leave, we check you are happy with everything and remove any packaging materials we have supplied.
Transparent Pricing for Flat Removals in Enfield
We price flat removals fairly, based on:
- Volume of items and size of the flat
- Distances between addresses
- Access complexity – floor level, lifts, long carries, parking restrictions
- Services required – packing, dismantling/reassembly, materials, storage
You can choose between a fixed-price quote for clearly defined moves or an hourly rate for smaller, more flexible jobs. We explain all charges in advance and do not add hidden extras on the day. Congestion/parking fees and tolls are discussed upfront where they apply.
Why Use Professional Flat Removers Instead of DIY
Flat removals often look simple until stairwells, heavy furniture and access rules come into play. Using a professional removals team offers several advantages over doing it yourself or hiring an unregulated casual van:
- Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and the building
- Faster, more efficient loading and unloading
- Correct equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and tools
- Proper insurance cover if something does go wrong
- Experienced planning around parking, access and timing
For many customers, the time saved, lower stress and reduced risk of injury easily outweigh the apparent savings of a DIY move.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Enfield operates to clear, professional standards for every move:
- Goods in transit insurance – your belongings are covered while they are in our care and on our vehicles, subject to our terms.
- Public liability cover – protection in place for damage to third-party property or injury, giving peace of mind in communal areas and shared spaces.
- Trained moving teams – all staff receive handling and safety training so items are lifted and carried correctly, and your property is respected at all times.
We are happy to outline our cover limits and terms before you book, and you are welcome to ask for copies of our policy details if you need them for building management or landlords.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every flat move as if it were our own home. Furniture and key items are wrapped and protected, and we always take care in narrow staircases and communal corridors. Where possible, we use reusable protective covers and blankets rather than disposable materials, and we encourage customers to reuse or recycle boxes after the move.
When disposing of unwanted items, we work with licensed waste carriers and recycling centres, aiming to keep as much out of landfill as possible. We also plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use.
Real-World Flat Removal Use Cases
Moving Between Flats in the Same Block
We frequently help customers move between flats in the same building or estate, often due to upsizing or downsizing. This kind of move still needs planning around lifts and shared spaces, and our team can usually complete it within a few hours.
Relocating to or from Enfield for Work
If you are moving into Enfield for a new job, we can coordinate delivery times with your travel. We can also provide short-term storage if there is a gap between giving up one flat and getting keys for the next.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes notice periods are short or circumstances change unexpectedly. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day flat removals in Enfield. We prioritise clear communication and realistic timeframes so you know what we can deliver.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a flat removal in Enfield cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your flat, the volume of belongings, distance travelled and how complex access is. As a rough guide, small studio or one-bedroom moves within Enfield are often priced on an hourly basis, while larger flats usually receive a fixed quote. Additional services such as packing, furniture dismantling or storage will affect the price. We always provide a clear written quote before you commit, so you know exactly what is included and can compare options confidently.
Can you do same-day or urgent flat removals?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent flat removals in Enfield, depending on our schedule and the size of the move. Smaller jobs, such as student moves or part-loads, are easier to fit in at short notice. For larger flats, we will be honest about what is achievable so you can plan realistically. If we cannot meet your exact time, we will try to offer the nearest available slot and may suggest splitting the move over two visits if that helps.
What insurance cover do you provide for flat moves?
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved and transported in our vehicles, subject to our standard terms and limits. We also carry public liability cover, which protects against damage to third-party property or injury caused by our work. We encourage customers to tell us about any particularly high-value or fragile items in advance so we can confirm cover details and take additional precautions. If you need policy information for a landlord or building manager, we can provide documentation on request.
What is included in your flat removals service?
Our standard service includes loading your belongings from your flat, protecting furniture with blankets and covers, safe transport to your new address and unloading into the rooms you choose. We can also provide dismantling and reassembly for common furniture items, such as beds and wardrobes, by prior arrangement. Optional extras include a full or partial packing service, supply of packing materials and short- or long-term storage. During your enquiry, we will go through each element so you can choose exactly the level of help you need.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service often offers transport only, with limited protection, planning or insurance. A professional removals service like Man and Van Enfield provides trained staff, proper lifting techniques, protective equipment and documented insurance cover. We carry out surveys where needed, manage building access and parking, and plan resources so that your move is efficient and safe. While a basic van may seem cheaper initially, the risk of damage, delays or extra trips can make it more costly and stressful overall, especially for larger or upper-floor flats.
How far in advance should I book my flat removal?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially if you are moving on a Friday, weekend or at the end of the month, when demand is highest. Ideally, contact us two to four weeks before your preferred date so we can arrange a survey and secure your slot. However, we know that flat moves are not always confirmed that far ahead. If your plans are still taking shape, you can still get a provisional quote and update us once your date is fixed, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

What We Can and Cannot Move on the Same Day
Items Included
We can usually move, on the day, all standard household and office items, including:
- Furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs, cabinets
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected)
- Boxes and crates – clothing, books, kitchenware, files, stock
- Electronics – TVs, PCs, monitors, printers, Hi-Fi systems
- Personal items – bikes, gym equipment, musical instruments
Items Excluded or Restricted
For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need prior agreement:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
- Live animals and plants in certain conditions
- Very high-value items without prior disclosure (artwork, jewellery, collections)
- Items fixed to the property that require specialist trades (e.g. hard-wired cookers)
If you are unsure, let us know during the enquiry – we will advise what is possible on a same day basis.
Our Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Call or message us as soon as you know you need to move. We will ask a few key questions: addresses, access, number of rooms, approximate volume and timing. For straight‑forward jobs we can often give a clear price immediately and confirm availability.
2. Rapid Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a quick video survey or, where possible, a short onsite visit. This allows us to send the right size vehicle, the correct number of movers and the right protective materials, avoiding delays or extra journeys.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you are already packed, we focus on protecting and preparing your items for loading. We bring blankets, professional trolleys, straps and covers. Where needed and time allows, we can offer same day packing help for kitchens, wardrobes and fragile items, using quality boxes and packing materials.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads systematically, starting with heavier and bulkier furniture and building stable layers with boxes and smaller items. We secure everything using industry-standard equipment to minimise movement in transit. We then drive directly to your new property using sensible, pre‑planned routes around Enfield and beyond.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new address we unload, place furniture in the rooms you choose and position boxes where they are easiest for you to unpack. We can reassemble basic furniture such as bed frames and tables by prior agreement. Before we leave, we do a final walk‑through with you to check that everything is where it should be.
Transparent Same Day Removals Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. For same day removals, costs are based on:
- Size of vehicle and number of movers required
- Total time needed, including travel, loading and unloading
- Distance between properties
- Any additional services (packing, dismantling/reassembly, disposal)
Urgent slots can carry a premium, especially evenings and weekends, but we always explain this before you book. You will receive a written confirmation of your quote so you know exactly what is included and what would incur additional charges.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
Attempting a last‑minute move yourself or with a casual man-and-van can easily become stressful, risky and more expensive than expected. With Man and Van Enfield you get:
- Experienced, trained movers who know how to handle awkward and heavy items
- Proper planning, even under time pressure
- Correct protective equipment and vehicles suited to removals
- Fully insured cover for your belongings and property
- A single point of contact on the day, so you are not chasing drivers or helpers
For same day moves, professional help means fewer breakages, lower risk of injury and a realistic chance of finishing on time.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our services include:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your items while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover – for accidental damage to property or third parties
- Trained moving teams – manual handling, safe lifting and packing techniques
Our crews wear appropriate clothing, work respectfully in your home or business and follow agreed instructions carefully. If something unexpected happens, we deal with it openly and fairly.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on urgent jobs, we do not cut corners on care:
- Use of blankets, floor protection and mattress/sofa covers where needed
- Securing loads to minimise movement and damage
- Careful handling of stairwells, doorways and communal areas
We also consider sustainability wherever possible. We reuse strong boxes, recommend right‑sized vehicles to reduce unnecessary mileage and dispose of unwanted items responsibly, using licensed recycling centres where requested.
Real‑World Same Day Use Cases
Moving House at Short Notice
Completion dates can shift with very little warning. We regularly help families and individuals who have had dates brought forward or face unexpected deadlines. Our team works calmly alongside your other arrangements, keeping the move itself straightforward.
Urgent Office or Shop Relocation
Businesses sometimes lose premises unexpectedly or need to move stock quickly. We can step in to move key equipment, documents and stock so you can continue trading or set up in temporary premises without losing time.
Emergency and Sensitive Situations
Not every same day move is planned. We discreetly assist in situations such as relationship breakdowns, emergency rehousing, or vulnerable tenants needing immediate support. Our focus is on safety, dignity and practical help when it is most needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Enfield cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of the move, distance between properties, number of movers required and how quickly you need us. Smaller flat or student moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Same day or out‑of‑hours slots can carry a small premium due to scheduling and staffing. We will always provide a clear, itemised quote before you commit, so you know exactly what you are paying for and what is included.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
Availability depends on how busy we are and the size of the move, but we keep some flexibility in our schedule for urgent enquiries. For small to medium moves, we can often attend within a few hours if you contact us early in the day. Larger house or office moves may still be possible, but might require splitting work into same day and following‑day stages. The best approach is to call us as soon as you know you need to move; we will be honest about what we can realistically achieve.
Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?
Yes. Our goods in transit insurance covers your belongings while they are in our care and vehicles, and our public liability insurance protects against accidental damage to property or third parties. Cover is subject to normal terms and conditions, such as excluding prohibited or undeclared high‑value items. We pack and load carefully to avoid damage in the first place, but if something does happen, we follow a clear process to resolve it. If you have particularly valuable or delicate items, let us know in advance so we can plan for them.
What exactly is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading to rooms of your choice. We provide moving blankets, straps and basic protection as standard. Optional extras include packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture and responsible disposal of unwanted items. We confirm all inclusions in writing when you book, so there is no confusion on the day. If you need anything specific, simply ask during the enquiry and we will build it into your quote.
How is a professional removals service different from a casual man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited labour, equipment and little or no insurance. A professional removals service, like ours, includes trained staff, appropriate vehicles, protective materials, proper planning and fully insured cover. We handle heavy and fragile items safely, protect your property, and coordinate the move from start to finish. This is especially important for same day moves, where there is no time for trial and error. In many cases, the overall cost difference is small, but the reduction in stress and risk is significant.
How far in advance should I book, and can I still try on the day?
For peace of mind, it is always best to book as early as possible, even for smaller moves. However, we understand that not every situation allows for that. If you find yourself needing to move on the day, contact us immediately. We will check our schedule, discuss the size of your move and advise what we can do. Sometimes we can offer a full same day service; other times we might propose a partial move or an evening slot. Our aim is always to find the most practical solution for your circumstances.
Man with Van
Man with Van Enfield – Local, Professional Moving Help
At Man and Van Enfield, our man with van service is designed for people who want professional moving help without the cost or complexity of a full-scale removal. You get an experienced local driver, a clean and well-maintained van, and a trained mover who actually knows how to handle furniture, appliances and boxes safely across Enfield and North London.
What Our Man with Van Service Includes
This service bridges the gap between hiring a big removal crew and doing everything yourself. You get:
- A modern, purpose-built removal van with blankets, straps and trolleys
- A trained, professional driver-mover (extra porters available on request)
- Help with lifting, loading, securing and unloading your belongings
- Short-distance and longer UK-wide trips starting from Enfield
- Flexible hourly rates or fixed prices agreed in advance
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover as standard
It is ideal when you do not need a full removal team but still want your things handled correctly and safely.
Local Man with Van Specialists in Enfield
We work across Enfield every day – from Enfield Town and Bush Hill Park to Edmonton, Southgate and Palmers Green. Because we know the area well, we plan routes to avoid pinch points, school runs and parking headaches where possible.
We are used to dealing with narrow roads, controlled parking zones, high-rise flats and tight stairwells across North London. This local knowledge helps keep moves on time and reduces the risk of damage to both your belongings and the properties we work in.
Who Our Man with Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect for smaller house moves, moving a few large items, or bridging the gap when you are completing at different times. We often help homeowners move single rooms, part-loads or awkward items that do not justify a full removal crew.
Renters
Ideal for flat moves within Enfield or across London. Many tenants use our man with van service to move from one rental to another in a single run, keeping costs sensible while still getting a fully insured, careful service.
Landlords
Landlords often need furniture moved in or out of properties at short notice. We can clear or deliver furniture, white goods and mattresses, and assist with end-of-tenancy clearances (excluding prohibited items – see below).
Businesses
Small offices, shops and trades rely on us for ad-hoc deliveries, light office moves and moving equipment between sites. A professional man with van is a cost-effective way to handle stock, furniture or IT without taking staff away from their work.
Students
Students moving to or from Enfield, or between halls and house shares, use our service to move boxes, clothes, desks and small furniture. We can usually fit a typical student move into a single van load, keeping it quick and affordable.
What We Can Move
We regularly transport:
- Boxes, bags, suitcases and crates
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Sofas, armchairs, dining tables and chairs
- Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other white goods
- Desks, filing cabinets, office chairs and small office equipment
- TVs, audio equipment, computers and monitors (properly packed)
- Bikes, gym equipment and hobby items
What We Cannot Move
To comply with safety, legal and insurance requirements, our man with van service does not carry:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
- Live animals or pets
- Unsecured glass sheets or construction debris likely to damage the van
- Industrial machinery beyond the van’s safe loading capacity
- Cash, jewellery or high-value collectibles not declared in advance
If you are unsure whether something can be transported, ask us when you enquire and we will advise the safest option.
Our Step-by-Step Man with Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with a brief description of what you need moved, the addresses, dates and any access details (stairs, lifts, parking). We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote – either hourly or a fixed price, depending on your preference and the move size.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For smaller jobs, a virtual survey (photos or video call) is usually enough to confirm the price. For larger flats or small houses, we can arrange a short onsite visit in Enfield. The aim is to understand access, volumes and any fragile or heavy items so that we send the right van and equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items into strong boxes, or ask us to provide packing services and materials at an additional cost. Either way, we offer guidance on how to pack safely, label boxes, and prepare appliances (such as defrosting freezers and disconnecting washing machines) before the moving day.
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, we arrive on time, protect furniture with blankets, and load systematically to make full use of the van space. Everything is strapped and secured to prevent shifting during transit. Your driver-mover is a trained professional used to handling heavy and awkward items with care.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload to the rooms you specify, placing larger items where you need them. We work efficiently but never rush at the expense of safety. Before we leave, we ask you to check the van so that nothing has been missed.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We know people choose a man with van to keep costs under control, so our pricing is straightforward:
- Clear hourly rates for local moves, with a minimum booking period
- Fixed-price options for defined point-to-point moves
- Optional extras: extra movers, packing, materials, out-of-hours work
- No hidden charges for stairs within reason, but we must know in advance
Quotes are confirmed in writing, so you know exactly what is included. Parking costs and congestion or clean air zone charges (where applicable) are either included upfront or passed on at cost – we will always state this clearly.
Why Use a Professional Service Instead of DIY
Hiring a casual driver or trying to do everything yourself may look cheaper, but it often costs more once you factor in damage, time off work and stress. With Man and Van Enfield you get:
- Fully insured transport for your belongings
- Trained movers who know how to lift, protect and stack properly
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Reliable timekeeping and clear communication
- Accountable service from an established local company
In contrast, DIY or informal help can leave you with injuries, broken furniture and no comeback if things go wrong.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while on the vehicle
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained moving teams who follow safe handling techniques
- Regularly maintained, clean vehicles suitable for removals work
Details of cover limits are available on request, and we are happy to explain how they apply to your particular move, especially if you have high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your belongings is our priority. We use removal blankets, floor protection where needed, and correct stacking methods to minimise risk. Fragile and high-value items are given extra attention, and we encourage proper packing to reduce the chance of damage.
We also aim to work more sustainably by:
- Using reusable crates and blankets
- Planning routes efficiently to cut down unnecessary mileage
- Encouraging customers to recycle or donate unwanted items rather than binning them
Typical Real-World Uses of Our Man with Van Service
Moving House or Flat
Many clients use our man with van service for one or two-bedroom flats where a full removal crew is not essential. We can handle everything in one or two trips, depending on volume and access.
Office and Small Business Moves
From moving a few desks to relocating a small office, our vans and movers can shift what you need with minimal downtime. Evening and weekend slots are available to reduce disruption to your business.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Last-minute key exchanges, emergency landlord requests or urgent collections from storage are all common. When our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day man with van bookings across Enfield and neighbouring areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with van in Enfield cost?
Pricing depends on the size of van required, the number of movers, distance between addresses and how long loading and unloading will take. For most local jobs we use a straightforward hourly rate with a minimum booking period, so you only pay for the time you actually need. Larger or longer-distance moves can be quoted at a fixed price, agreed in advance. Contact us with a list of items, postcodes and any access details, and we will provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras.
Can you do same-day or urgent man with van bookings?
Often, yes. Our schedule varies, but we keep some flexibility for urgent or short-notice work in Enfield and nearby areas. The more notice you can give, the easier it is to guarantee your preferred time, but if you are let down by another provider or have a last-minute completion, call us and we will do our best to help. Same-day work is usually charged at our standard hourly rates, and we will always confirm availability and cost before you commit.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our vans are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being transported, and we also carry public liability cover for work in and around your property. As with any policy, there are limits and exclusions, so we recommend you tell us about particularly high-value or fragile items in advance. We can then confirm cover levels and advise on any extra precautions, such as specialist packing. Our aim is to give you peace of mind as well as careful handling.
What is included in your man with van service?
You get a professional driver-mover, a suitable removal van equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys, and help with lifting, loading, securing and unloading your items. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you request at the destination. Optional extras include additional movers, packing services, packing materials and out-of-hours work. Parking fees and any congestion or clean air zone charges are either built into the quote or passed on at cost, which we will explain clearly beforehand so you know exactly what is covered.
What is the difference between a removal service and a man with van?
A full removal service usually involves a larger team, bigger vehicles, detailed planning and often full packing and unpacking options – ideal for bigger house or office moves. A man with van is more flexible and cost-effective for smaller loads, single items or compact flat moves. With us, both options are run to the same professional standards, using trained staff and proper insurance. We are happy to advise which approach is most suitable based on the size of your move, timings and budget.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekends, month-end and peak times, we recommend booking your Enfield man with van at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred slot. For midweek or off-peak moves, a few days’ notice is often enough. That said, we understand that plans change and not all moves are predictable, so we always try to accommodate short-notice requests where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we have with timings and pricing.

- Best times of day to move to avoid congestion
- Loading access for tight streets and controlled parking zones

Our focus is on a smooth, predictable move with no surprises on the day.
Who Our Man and a Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you’re moving a smaller property, downsizing, or just shifting a selection of furniture and boxes between homes. We can work alongside your schedule for keys and completion times.
Renters
Ideal for tenants moving between rented flats and houses, often on tight timescales. We’re used to dealing with inventories, stairwells and parking restrictions common to rented accommodation.
Landlords
We help landlords clear or part-clear properties, move furniture between lets and deliver or remove white goods and beds in line with tenancy changes.
Businesses
Our service suits small office moves, internal department moves, stock transfers and taking unwanted equipment to storage or recycling. We work discreetly to keep disruption low.
Students
Students benefit from a cost-effective way to move between home, halls and shared houses. We’re used to handling boxed belongings, bikes, desks and occasional furniture.
What We Can and Can’t Move
Items Commonly Included
- Boxes, bags and suitcases of personal belongings
- Furniture: beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs, chests of drawers
- Appliances: washing machines, fridges, freezers, tumble dryers

- Sports and hobby items: bikes, gym equipment, instruments
- Artwork, mirrors and decorative items (appropriately packed)
Items We Exclude or Restrict

- Illegal or stolen goods of any kind
- Live animals (including pets and livestock)
- Industrial machinery that requires specialist lifting equipment
- Excessively valuable items without prior agreement (high-value art, jewellery)
If you’re unsure about a particular item, let us know during the enquiry and we’ll confirm whether we can move it or suggest alternatives.
Our Step-by-Step Man and a Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your addresses, preferred date and a brief description of what needs moving. We may ask for photos or a list to understand access and volume. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually on an hourly or fixed-price basis, depending on the job.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For straightforward smaller jobs, a virtual survey by phone, video call or photos is normally sufficient. For more complex or awkward moves, we may visit in person. The survey lets us choose the right van size, number of movers and any protective materials required.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or we can provide a packing service for an additional cost. Even when you pack yourself, our team will protect key items with covers, blankets and straps. We advise you in advance on how to pack fragile, heavy or awkward pieces so loading is safe and efficient.
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our trained team arrives on time, introduces themselves and walks through the property with you. We load systematically, protecting furniture and ensuring items are secured in the van to prevent movement. Then we drive directly to your destination using the most efficient route.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify. Bulky furniture is placed where you want it; boxes are stacked sensibly for easy unpacking. Before leaving, we check that everything agreed has been delivered and positioned, and that you’re satisfied with the placement.
Transparent Pricing – How Our Man and a Van Rates Work
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing so you know where you stand from the outset. Our Enfield man and a van service is usually priced either:
- By the hour – suitable for small, flexible moves where you’re involved in the loading, or
- As a fixed price – better for defined jobs with a clear inventory and schedule.
Your quote will explain what is included: the size of van, number of movers, estimated duration, mileage allowances and any additional services such as packing materials. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs (for example, unexpected waiting time) are explained in advance.
Why Choose a Professional Service Over DIY
Hiring a casual van or attempting a move yourself can appear cheaper, but often leads to damage, delays and stress. By using a professional man and a van service you gain:
- Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
- Appropriate equipment such as trolleys, straps and protective covers
- Reliable timing and planning so the day runs to schedule
- Fully insured transport for your belongings
- Less risk of personal injury from heavy lifting
The result is usually a faster, safer move and fewer problems at your new property.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. As a professional removals operator in Enfield, we provide:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during loading and unloading
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff who follow safe handling procedures
Policy details and limits are available on request. We work to industry best practice, from how we stack items in the van to how we protect floors and doorways.
Care, Protection and Sustainable Working
We aim to complete every move with minimal risk to your belongings and minimal impact on the environment. That means:
- Using clean, well-maintained vans with appropriate load securing
- Providing protective blankets, mattress and sofa covers where needed
- Planning efficient routes to reduce mileage and fuel use
- Reusing boxes and packing materials where safe and hygienic
- Encouraging customers to recycle or donate unwanted items rather than dispose of them
Our goal is a careful move that respects both your possessions and the local environment.
Real-World Uses of Our Man and a Van Service
Moving House in or Around Enfield
For smaller homes, our man and a van option is often the most practical way to move. We can complete your move in one or two runs, depending on volume, and time everything around key collection.
Small Office and Business Relocations
When you don’t need a full-scale corporate move, we can relocate your desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment quickly and safely, often outside your trading hours.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Last-minute changes, emergency tenancy issues or urgent deliveries are common. Where we have availability, we offer same-day or short-notice man and a van services in Enfield, always keeping you informed of arrival windows and likely completion times.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and a van service in Enfield cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much you’re moving, the access at each property and the distance between addresses. Smaller local jobs are often charged by the hour, with a minimum booking period. Larger or more defined moves can be priced as a fixed quote. Your price will include the van, labour, fuel for standard local mileage and basic protective equipment. We’ll ask for details or photos to quote accurately, so you know the cost before you commit. There are no hidden surcharges added on the day.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man and a van bookings?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Enfield, depending on our schedule and the scale of the job. For very short notice bookings, it helps if you can be flexible with timing and provide a clear list or photos of what needs moving. We’ll confirm availability, likely arrival time and an estimated duration before you agree to proceed. While we can’t guarantee emergency slots every day, we’ll always do our best to find a practical solution.
What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?
All moves are covered by our goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are in our vehicle, subject to policy terms and limits. We also carry public liability insurance, which covers accidental damage to property or injury caused by our work. For particularly high-value items, we may discuss additional arrangements or documentation with you in advance. We handle all goods with care, but this insurance gives you added reassurance that you’re dealing with a properly protected, professional operator.
What exactly is included in your man and a van service?
Our standard service includes a suitable van, one or more trained movers, fuel for local travel, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We bring basic protective equipment such as blankets and straps, and can supply covers for mattresses and sofas where needed. Packing is not automatically included, but we can provide a packing service or packing materials at an additional cost. Disassembly and reassembly of simple furniture can usually be added by arrangement. Your quote will clearly list what is and isn’t included so there’s no confusion.
What’s the difference between your service and a casual man-with-van?
A casual or unregistered driver may offer a cheap van, but typically without formal training, proper insurance or consistent standards. Our service combines the flexibility of a man-with-van with the reliability of a removals company: fully insured, experienced teams, appropriate equipment, clear pricing and organised planning. We’re accountable for turning up on time, protecting your belongings and completing the job as agreed. In many cases, the overall cost is similar once you factor in potential damage, delays and the extra effort often involved in informal arrangements.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend and month-end moves – our busiest times – we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred slot. Midweek and off-peak days are often more flexible, and smaller jobs can sometimes be arranged with only a few days’ notice. If your date is not fixed, we can suggest times when availability is better. Even if your move is last-minute, it’s worth contacting us as soon as possible so we can check our schedule and offer suitable options.
House Removals
House Removals Enfield by Man and Van Enfield
Moving home in Enfield or the surrounding areas can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. At Man and Van Enfield, we provide a complete house removals service designed around your property, your belongings, and your timescales. With years of hands-on experience in local moves, we combine careful planning, practical expertise and a calm, professional approach to get you moved safely and on time.
Professional House Removals in Enfield
Our Enfield removals team handles everything from small studio flats to large family homes. We plan each move in detail, taking into account parking, access, timings and any special items that require extra protection or handling.
Whether you’re moving across Enfield, elsewhere in London, or further across the UK, we provide a reliable, fully managed service with trained, uniformed movers, purpose-built vehicles and the right equipment for the job.
Local Expertise in Enfield
Working daily across Enfield gives us a strong understanding of local roads, parking rules, and property types. We know the challenges of:
- Terraced houses with tight hallways and staircases
- High-rise flats with lift and loading bay restrictions
- Permit-only or controlled parking zones
- Busy main roads and school-time congestion
This local knowledge allows us to plan your move realistically, avoid delays, and protect your belongings and property throughout the day.
Who Our House Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re selling and buying, timing is everything. We coordinate closely with you and your chain, aiming to minimise downtime and ensure a smooth move-in on completion day. Full or part-packing options are available, and we can provide temporary storage if needed.
Renters
From one-bedroom flats to shared houses, we help tenants move without risking deposit deductions. We protect floors, walls and doors, and handle bulky furniture and appliances that are difficult to move alone.
Landlords
We support landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, part-furnished removals and quick turnarounds between tenants. We can remove, relocate or store furniture, and coordinate access with agents or building managers.
Businesses
For small offices or home-based businesses, we provide careful relocation of desks, IT equipment, documents and stock. We work to agreed schedules to reduce disruption and can move you outside normal business hours where required.
Students
Students moving to or from Enfield often only have a room’s worth of belongings, but still need help with heavy suitcases, boxes and tech. Our flexible, smaller-scale man and van options are ideal for these moves.
What Our House Removals Service Includes
Every move is different, but as standard our removals service can include:
- Collection from one or multiple addresses
- Protective covers for mattresses, sofas and key items
- Disassembly and reassembly of standard furniture where agreed
- Careful wrapping of fragile items and pictures (when packing is included)
- Secure loading, transport and unloading at your new property
- Placement of furniture and boxes in the correct rooms
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
- Kitchen contents – boxed crockery, pans, small appliances
- Electricals – TVs, computers, sound systems, white goods (if safe to move)
- Personal items – clothing, books, ornaments, pictures and mirrors
- Garage and shed contents – boxed tools, bikes and garden equipment
Items Typically Excluded
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are normally excluded or require special arrangements:
- Hazardous materials – fuel, gas cylinders, paint, solvents, chemicals
- Perishable or open food
- Live animals or pets
- High-value jewellery, cash and important documents (best kept with you)
- Large commercial machinery or industrial equipment not agreed in advance
If you have anything unusual or high-value, let us know during the survey so we can advise on the safest way to handle it.
Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with basic details: current and new address, property size, preferred date and any special requirements. We’ll ask a few clear questions and provide an initial, no-obligation estimate. For straightforward moves, we can often confirm a fixed price at this stage.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a short survey. This can be done by video call or in person. We assess access, parking, volume of belongings and any delicate or bulky items. The survey allows us to allocate the right size vehicle, team and time, and then confirm a clear written quotation.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you
- Part-packing – we pack fragile or awkward items; you handle the rest
- Self-packing – we can still supply quality boxes and packing materials
We label boxes clearly and prepare furniture for safe transit. Floors, banisters and doors are protected where needed.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and begins loading methodically. Items are secured in the vehicle using straps and blankets. We then transport your belongings directly to your new property, using the most suitable route based on our local knowledge of Enfield and beyond.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new home, we unload items into the rooms you specify. Furniture that we disassembled is reassembled where agreed. We work with you to ensure key items are in place so you can settle in sooner. Before leaving, we carry out a final check with you to confirm everything that should be moved has been delivered.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of items to be moved
- Access and distance between properties
- Required team size and vehicle type
- Optional services such as packing, materials or storage
All costs are itemised so you can see exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges for stairs, fuel or basic equipment, and any potential extras (such as additional pickups or out-of-hours work) are discussed in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company like Man and Van Enfield offers significant benefits over doing it yourself or using a casual van hire:
- Trained movers who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
- Proper vehicles with securing systems, blankets and trolleys
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
- Less risk of damage to property, furniture and your own health
- Faster, more organised moves that keep to agreed timings
While DIY may seem cheaper on paper, once you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work and the risk of breakages or injury, professional removals usually offer far better value and peace of mind.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance for items we carry, subject to terms
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property
- Trained, experienced teams following safe working practices
We handle your possessions as if they were our own, and we’re happy to explain how our cover works and what it includes before you book. For particularly high-value items, we can discuss any additional measures or documentation that may be advisable.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on careful handling and sensible environmental choices:
- Use of floor and doorway protection where needed
- Clean, well-maintained vehicles to reduce the risk of soiling or damage
- Re-usable transit blankets and protective covers
- Option to re-use or collect cardboard boxes where practical
- Efficient route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage
Our aim is to move you safely, protect your belongings and property, and reduce waste wherever possible.
Real-World House Removal Scenarios
Moving to a New Family Home
From packing children’s rooms to dismantling large wardrobes and beds, we handle family moves with a calm and organised approach. We prioritise key rooms so you can get beds and essentials set up quickly.
Flat and Apartment Moves
We regularly move clients into and out of flats with limited access, narrow stairways or lift restrictions. Our team plans carefully around building rules and time windows to avoid disruption.
Office and Home Office Relocations
For small businesses and home offices, we manage the move of desks, chairs, filing and IT equipment, ensuring everything is clearly labelled so you can resume work with minimal downtime.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves need to happen quickly due to changes in plans or unexpected circumstances. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice removals in and around Enfield, providing a structured service even under tight deadlines.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house removals in Enfield cost?
The cost depends mainly on the volume of your belongings, access at both properties, distance travelled and whether you need packing services. Smaller local moves might be completed within a few hours, while larger homes require a full day or more. After a brief discussion and, where needed, a survey, we’ll provide a clear, fixed quotation with no hidden extras. This will detail exactly what’s included so you can compare like-for-like with other quotes and choose the level of service that suits your budget.
Can you handle same-day or urgent house moves?
Yes, where our diary allows, we can arrange same-day or short-notice removals in Enfield and surrounding areas. The more notice you can give us, the easier it is to allocate the ideal team and vehicle, but we understand that urgent situations arise. In these cases, we focus on the essentials: safely moving key furniture and boxes first, then working through the rest as time permits. Contact us as soon as possible and we’ll let you know what options are realistically available.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we transport, as well as public liability cover. This offers protection in the unlikely event of damage or loss caused by us during the move, subject to the policy terms and any declared values. We’ll happily explain how the cover works and what’s required from you, such as proper packing of self-packed boxes. For particularly high-value items, additional arrangements or documentation may be recommended, and we can advise on this before move day.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard service includes collection from your property, careful loading, transport and unloading at your new address, plus placement of items in the rooms you choose. We supply transit blankets, trolleys and basic protection as standard. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of boxes and materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and short-term storage. Every quotation clearly lists what is and isn’t included, so you can tailor the move to your needs and avoid paying for services you don’t require.
What’s the difference between full removals and a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service is usually just a driver and a vehicle, often paid by the hour, with limited assistance and no detailed planning. Our house removals service is a structured, managed move: a team of trained movers, proper equipment, insurance, protective materials, and an agreed plan for packing, loading and unloading. This reduces the risk of damage, speeds up the process and gives you a clear point of contact throughout. Many clients find the slightly higher cost is far outweighed by the reduced stress and greater protection.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking as soon as your move date is likely, especially if you’re moving on a Friday, weekend or at month-end, when demand is highest. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal, but we regularly accommodate moves with less notice when our schedule allows. If your completion date isn’t confirmed yet, we can still provide a quote and pencil you in, then firm up the booking once your details are finalised.
Man and Van
Man and Van Enfield – Local, Professional Moving Service
At Man and Van Enfield, we provide a reliable, professional man and van service for local moves of all sizes. Whether you are moving a single item across town or a full flat across London, our experienced team handles your belongings with care, backed by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
What Our Man and Van Service Includes
Our Enfield man and van service is a flexible, van-based removals option designed for small to medium moves and transport jobs. You get a modern, clean van and a trained mover as standard, with extra porters available when needed.
Who Our Service Is For
- Homeowners – moving between houses in Enfield or to other parts of London and the UK.
- Renters – flat and house moves, including part-loads and shared homes.
- Landlords – clearing or furnishing properties between tenancies.

- Flat and small house removals – 1–3 bedroom properties.
- Office and commercial moves – desks, IT equipment, stock and files.
- Student moves – small loads between Enfield and university towns.
- Urgent and same-day man and van – subject to availability.
Local Expertise in Enfield
We work across the whole of Enfield, including Enfield Town, Enfield Lock, Bush Hill Park, Palmers Green, Edmonton, Southgate and the surrounding areas. Because we move people around Enfield every day, we know the quickest routes, the parking restrictions, and the typical access issues in local streets and estates.
That local knowledge allows us to plan your move properly, avoid delays, and reduce the risk of damage from rushed loading or awkward parking. If needed, we can also advise on council parking suspensions and the best times of day to move in your area.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items We Commonly Move
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, bookcases.
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected in advance).
- Boxes and bags – clothes, books, kitchenware, personal items.
- Office items – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, boxed documents, IT equipment.
- Miscellaneous – bikes, gym equipment, tools, garden furniture.
Items We Cannot Move
- Hazardous materials – fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners.
- Illegal or stolen goods.
- Live animals (including pets and livestock).
- Perishable or frozen food for long-distance trips.
- Very high-value items such as fine art or jewellery without prior agreement.
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, just ask when you enquire and we will confirm what is possible and how it should be prepared.
Our Step-by-Step Man and Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: collection and delivery addresses, property type, access details, and a rough list of items. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day. For straightforward jobs, we can often give a price within a few minutes.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves or where access is tight, we carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This helps us choose the right size van, number of movers and equipment. A good survey reduces the chances of problems on the day and helps keep your costs accurate and fair.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service at additional cost. Either way, we advise on labelling, dismantling furniture, and preparing appliances. On the day, our team brings blankets, straps and trolleys, and we protect key items with covers and wrapping.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained moving teams carefully load your belongings in a logical order, securing everything to minimise movement in transit. We use ramps, sack trucks and lifting techniques that protect both your items and our staff. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while in our vehicle.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing larger furniture where you want it. We will reassemble basic items we dismantled for transport, by prior agreement. Before we leave, we invite you to walk around and check that everything has been delivered and is in the right place.
Transparent Pricing for Man and Van in Enfield
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Most man and van jobs are charged either at an hourly rate (with a minimum booking period) or a fixed price for defined moves.
How We Work Out Your Price
- Distance between addresses.
- Size of vehicle required.
- Number of movers needed.
- Estimated loading and unloading time.
- Parking or access challenges (long walks, stairs, no lift).
Your quote will clearly state what is included, how long the estimate covers, and any potential additional charges (for example, waiting time due to key delays). We do not add hidden extras on the day; if something needs to change, we discuss it with you first.
Why Choose a Professional Man and Van Over DIY
Hiring a friend with a van or doing it yourself can look cheaper on paper, but it often costs more in time, stress and damage. Our professional team brings experience, equipment and insurance that casual helpers simply do not have.
- We use correct lifting techniques to avoid injury and damage to property.
- We protect furniture and doorways to reduce scratches and scuffs.
- We plan loading to maximise space and minimise trips.
- Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while in our care.
For many customers, the main benefit is peace of mind: knowing that your move is handled by people who do this every day, backed by proper insurance and a structured process.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible removals provider, we maintain appropriate insurance and working practices:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our vehicle, subject to terms and conditions.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury caused by our work.
- Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in safe handling, packing and driving standards.
We work to industry best practice for loading, securing and transporting goods. If anything does go wrong, we have a clear claims process, and we encourage customers to read our terms before booking so expectations are clear.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on protecting both your belongings and the environment. Furniture and key items are wrapped in reusable padded coverings and secured with straps. We use durable removal blankets instead of excessive disposable packaging wherever practical.
Where customers require packing, we can supply recyclable boxes and paper and collect reusable materials for future moves when agreed. We also plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage and combine smaller jobs where possible to minimise emissions.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Man and Van Service
Moving House in Enfield
Perfect for 1–3 bedroom flats and small houses, our man and van option is ideal if you are staying relatively local and want a cost-effective but professional move. We can handle everything from beds and wardrobes to white goods and boxes.
Office and Business Relocations
For small to medium offices, shops and studios, we move desks, chairs, computers and boxed files with minimal disruption. We can schedule moves outside normal working hours to keep your business running smoothly.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Sometimes moves happen at short notice – a tenancy ending, a deal completing earlier than planned, or a delivery that has fallen through. Subject to availability, we offer same-day man and van within Enfield and across London. The more detail you can give us when you call, the quicker we can confirm whether we can help.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and van service in Enfield cost?
Pricing depends on distance, size of van, number of movers and how long the job is likely to take. Smaller local moves are often charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while larger moves may be priced as a fixed quote. To give you an accurate figure, we ask for a list of key items, both addresses and any access issues such as stairs or parking restrictions. Once we have that information, we provide a clear price with no hidden extras.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man and van in Enfield?
Yes, we can often offer same-day or next-day man and van services in Enfield, depending on availability. Urgent moves work best if you can be flexible on timing and provide clear details of what needs moving when you first contact us. We prioritise essential information such as addresses, access, parking and key items so we can quickly decide which vehicle and team to send. Call us as early as possible in the day and we will always do our best to fit you in.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle, and we hold public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. Insurance has limits and conditions, so we always recommend that customers read our terms and flag any particularly high-value or fragile items in advance. For very valuable possessions, you may also wish to notify your home insurer. Our team will advise on how to pack and prepare items to ensure they are properly protected.
What is included in your man and van removals service?
As standard, you get a suitable van, a professional driver-mover, protective blankets and securing straps, and door-to-door loading, transport and unloading. We place items into the rooms you specify and handle basic dismantling and reassembly by prior agreement. Optional extras include additional porters, packing materials and a full or partial packing service. We clarify everything in writing before you book so you know exactly what is and is not included in your price.
What is the difference between removals and a man and van service?
A traditional removals service usually involves a larger vehicle, a full team, and often includes packing, detailed planning and move management, ideal for bigger properties. A man and van service is more flexible and cost-effective for smaller moves, single items and short local journeys. With us, both options are fully insured and handled by trained staff; the main difference is scale, the level of preparation involved, and how long we expect the move to take.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend and month-end moves, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and around university term dates. For weekday moves or smaller jobs, we can often accommodate bookings with a few days' notice, and sometimes even same-day. The earlier you contact us, the more choice you will have on dates and times. If your completion or move date is not yet fixed, we can still provide a provisional quote and advise on availability.

Landlords & Letting Agents
We regularly assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, part-furnished moves and moving furniture between properties. We work to agreed timescales so properties can be cleaned and re-let quickly, and we always handle items respectfully to protect your reputation.
Businesses
From small offices to retail units and workshops, our removal vans support business relocations, short-notice site moves and the transport of equipment, stock and files. We can work outside normal hours to minimise disruption and protect sensitive or high-value items under our goods in transit insurance.
Students
Students moving to or from Enfield, halls or shared houses often need cost-effective help for a room or small flat. Our smaller removal van options are ideal for boxes, suitcases, a desk, a bed and a few pieces of furniture, with clear pricing and no hidden extras.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture: sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs

- Illegal or stolen goods of any kind
- Unboxed loose liquids or open food
- Livestock and most pets
- Large commercial machinery not declared at booking
- Items exceeding agreed weight or size limits
If you have an unusual or high-value item (such as a piano, safe or artwork), discuss this with us in advance so we can confirm whether it is covered, how it should be packed and whether extra equipment is required.
Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your moving details: dates, addresses, property type, access, and an outline of what needs moving. We ask focused questions to understand the volume of goods, any fragile or heavy items, and your timing requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, written quotation with no obligation.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a short video call or an onsite visit in Enfield. This lets us assess parking, staircases, lifts and the number of items accurately. A proper survey helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures we allocate the right size van, the right number of movers and sufficient time.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or we can provide a professional packing service. Where requested, we bring quality boxes, tape, bubble wrap and wrapping paper. We label boxes clearly, protect delicate items and prepare furniture by dismantling where necessary. Even when you pack yourself, we offer practical advice so everything travels safely.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and begins loading. We use protective blankets, straps and trolleys, and we load in a logical sequence so belongings are secure and easy to unload the other end. We then travel directly to your new address, following planned routes to avoid unnecessary delays.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you choose, placing furniture where you want it and reassembling anything we dismantled. We encourage you to check rooms as we go, so nothing is missed. Once you are satisfied, we complete a final walk-through and confirm that the move is finished.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our removal van costs in Enfield are based on:
- Van size and number of movers required
- Total time from arrival to completion (or a fixed price for agreed jobs)
- Distance travelled between addresses
- Any extra services such as packing, materials or storage
Parking charges, congestion and tolls are made clear in advance where applicable. We provide written confirmation of your quote and what is included, so you can plan with confidence.
Why Choose a Professional Removal Van Over DIY
Hiring a van yourself or using a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper, but it often costs more in time, stress and potential damage. With Man and Van Enfield you benefit from:
- Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
- Specialist equipment such as trolleys, straps and protective covers
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Reliable arrival times and realistic scheduling
- Clear, documented agreements instead of vague arrangements
For most people, the peace of mind and reduced risk from using a professional removals company more than justifies the difference in cost.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible removals company, we operate to high standards and back this up with robust protection:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our vehicle, subject to terms and declared values
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury during the move
- Trained and vetted staff – our teams are experienced, briefed on each job and follow safe working practices
We are always happy to explain our cover levels and any exclusions before you book, so you know exactly where you stand.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Our approach includes:
- Using clean, well-maintained vans to avoid dirt or contamination
- Protective blankets, shrink-wrap and covers for furniture and mattresses
- Careful stacking and securing of items to minimise movement in transit
- Reusable crates and blankets to reduce waste where possible
- Planning efficient routes to cut unnecessary mileage and emissions
We continually review how we work so we can reduce our environmental impact while maintaining high standards of care.
Real-World Removal Van Use Cases
Moving House Within Enfield
Many customers move from one part of Enfield to another. We regularly handle full house moves between areas such as Bush Hill Park, Southgate and Palmers Green, often in a single day. Our local knowledge means we can anticipate parking and access challenges before they become a problem.
Office and Shop Relocations
We assist businesses moving between offices, industrial units or retail premises. This often involves dismantling desks, moving filing systems and transporting stock. We can work early mornings, evenings or weekends to keep your business downtime to a minimum.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Occasionally, customers face unexpected moves – last-minute tenancy changes, urgent clearances or short-notice completions. Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or next-day removal van services in Enfield, with the same level of professional care and documentation as planned moves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Enfield cost?
The cost depends on the size of van you need, the number of movers required, the distance between properties and how long the job takes. Smaller flat or student moves may be charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while larger house or office moves are often priced as a fixed quote. Extra services such as packing, materials and storage are clearly itemised. Once we understand your move, we provide a written estimate so you know the total expected cost before you commit.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Enfield, depending on our existing bookings and the complexity of your job. The more detail you can give us when you call, the easier it is for us to check availability and allocate the right size van and team. Urgent moves are charged on the same fair basis as planned jobs, with any additional out-of-hours or congestion costs explained in advance wherever possible.
What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?
We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicle, as well as public liability cover for accidental damage or injury caused by our work. Like all insurance, there are limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain before you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may ask you to declare them in writing so we can confirm they are covered or suggest additional protection if required.
What is included in your removal van service?
Our standard service includes the removal van itself, fuel, a trained moving team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We provide basic protection such as blankets and straps as standard. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembling furniture, and short-term storage. All inclusions and any additional charges are set out clearly in your quote so you can choose the level of service that best suits your needs and budget.
How is a professional removal van different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service may offer simple transport, but it often lacks formal insurance, trained staff and proper planning. Our removal van service is run as a professional removals operation, with experienced teams, appropriate insurance, quality equipment and clear agreements. We carry out surveys where needed, plan routes, protect your belongings and work to agreed timings. This structured approach greatly reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings, especially for full house or business moves.
How far in advance should I book a removal van in Enfield?
For most moves, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end or during school holidays when demand is higher. That said, we understand that completion dates and tenancy start times can change at short notice. If your plans are uncertain, contact us early so we can pencil in provisional dates and advise on availability. We will always try to accommodate late bookings where our schedule allows.

Local Enfield Expertise You Can Rely On
Being based in Enfield means we know the area, the traffic patterns, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. This local knowledge is valuable when:
- Arranging parking bays and access in busy streets and estates
- Navigating low bridges, school runs and peak traffic times
- Planning moves in and out of flats, maisonettes and high-rise blocks
- Coordinating with building management and concierges
We regularly work in Enfield Town, Enfield Lock, Enfield Highway, Bush Hill Park, Winchmore Hill, Palmers Green, Southgate and the wider North London area.
Who Our Removal Services Are For
Homeowners
Moving between houses, upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of Enfield, we provide a structured, well-timed move so that keys, completion times and removals all line up. We can protect flooring, bannisters and doors to keep both properties in good condition.
Renters
If you are moving between rented properties, we help you avoid damage and unwanted charges. We can move you efficiently in one go, including disassembling beds, wardrobes and larger items and reassembling them in the new property.
Landlords
For landlords, we offer removal services for full or partial clearances, end-of-tenancy moves and furniture changes between properties. We work tidily, respect communal areas and can coordinate directly with your letting agent if required.
Businesses
We support small and medium-sized businesses with office relocations, shop moves and internal reshuffles. Our team can handle desks, filing cabinets, IT equipment and stock, planning work to minimise disruption and downtime.
Students
Students moving to or from Enfield benefit from a practical, budget-conscious service. We move boxed belongings, small furniture and personal items safely between halls, shared houses and family homes.
What Our Removal Services Include
Items Typically Included
We routinely move:
- Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers
- Boxes, suitcases and bagged items
- Office furniture – desks, chairs, cabinets, shelving
- IT equipment – computers, monitors, printers (properly protected)
- Personal items, books, clothes, small appliances and décor
We supply transit blankets, straps and protective covers to keep items stable and protected in transit.
Items We May Exclude or Handle by Arrangement
For safety, insurance and legal reasons, some items are excluded or require prior agreement:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal or prohibited items
- Live animals (we can move cages and tanks when empty)
- Very high-value items such as fine art or jewellery (by arrangement)
- Pianos, safes and specialist machinery (possible with advance notice)
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise clearly during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your moving details – current address, destination, property type, rough list of items and preferred dates. We ask clear questions to understand what you are moving and what level of help you need. We then provide a transparent, no-obligation quote outlining what is included.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything beyond the smallest moves, we carry out a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Enfield. We assess access, parking, stairs or lifts, volume of goods and any fragile or bulky items. The survey allows us to allocate the right vehicle, team size and time so the move runs smoothly.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you
- Part packing – we pack breakables and delicate items only
- Self-packing – you pack; we provide advice and can supply boxes and materials
On or before moving day, we also dismantle agreed items such as beds and wardrobes, labelling parts so they can be reassembled correctly.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional, trained team arrives on time, walks through the property with you and confirms the plan. We protect key areas, then load the vehicle carefully using padded covers, blankets, straps and trolleys. Once everything is secure, we transport your belongings directly to the new address using suitable, well-maintained vehicles.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you need them. We can reassemble previously dismantled items and will check you are happy with positioning before we leave. Our team removes waste packing materials generated by our service so the property is left tidy.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services in Enfield
We price our removal services based on a clear set of factors: volume of goods, access at both properties, distance travelled, team size required, and any additional services such as packing or storage. You receive a written quote that explains what is included, so you can compare like-for-like with confidence.
We do not hide charges. Any potential extras, such as congestion charges, parking fees or extended waiting times, are discussed upfront wherever possible. Our goal is to give you a fair price that reflects the work involved, with no last-minute surprises.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Many people initially consider doing their move themselves or hiring a casual man-and-van. While this can appear cheaper, it often becomes more stressful and time-consuming, and may risk damage to property or belongings.
With a professional removals company like Man and Van Enfield, you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
- Proper equipment – trolleys, ramps, blankets, straps and covers
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Planned timings and reliable, confirmed arrival
- Support with packing, dismantling and reassembly
This reduces the risk of injury, damage and delays, and usually makes the overall move more efficient and less disruptive.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised professional standards. Our removal services include:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while we work on site
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff who follow safe working practices
We are happy to explain our cover in plain language and provide documentation on request, so you know exactly how your belongings are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own, using protective covers for sofas and mattresses, blankets for furniture and appropriate wrapping for delicate items. Floors and banisters can be covered where needed to avoid scuffs or marks.
We also aim to work responsibly and sustainably. We reuse durable packing materials where appropriate, encourage customers to recycle boxes, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. When combined with careful loading, this approach helps minimise both waste and risk.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Removal Services
Moving House in Enfield
Whether you are moving from a flat near Enfield Town station or a family home in Winchmore Hill, we handle the full process – from packing through to furniture placement. We routinely coordinate with estate agents and completion times to keep your moving day on track.
Office and Business Relocations
For offices and shops, we can move you outside normal working hours to minimise disruption. Our team labels and positions furniture and equipment to your plan, helping your staff settle in quickly and get back to work.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves have to happen quickly due to unexpected changes in circumstance. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice removals in Enfield and nearby areas. We still follow a structured process, but compress planning and surveys to suit the urgency of your move.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Enfield cost?
The cost depends mainly on how much you are moving, the access at both properties, the distance travelled and whether you need packing or dismantling. Smaller local moves may be charged at a fixed rate or half-day rate, while larger house moves are usually priced as a full-day job with a set team and vehicle. After a short discussion and, where needed, a survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you will pay and what is included.
Can you offer same-day or urgent removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice removal services in Enfield and the surrounding area. The more notice you can give us, the more options we will have with vehicles and staff, but we understand that urgent situations do arise. We will always be honest about availability and what can realistically be achieved in the time. If we accept a short-notice job, you will still receive a clear plan and confirmation before we start.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and by public liability cover while we are working in your property. This is designed to give you peace of mind if something unexpected happens. We take great care to avoid damage through proper packing, lifting and securing, but insurance is there as a safety net. We can explain the key terms and any limits in straightforward language before you book.
What is included in your removal service?
Our standard service includes a professional team, a suitable removals vehicle, protective equipment (blankets, straps and covers), loading at your old address, safe transport and unloading at your new property. We can add services such as packing, materials supply, dismantling and reassembly of furniture as required. During the quote and survey, we confirm exactly what is and is not included so there is no confusion. You can tailor the service to match your budget and how much you want to do yourself.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van is often just transport and a driver, with limited equipment and no formal insurance or training. Our professional removal service includes experienced staff, proper tools for lifting and protection, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and a planned schedule. We assess access, allocate the right team and vehicle, and manage your move from start to finish. This reduces the risk of damage or delays and usually proves better value when you consider the time, effort and potential costs of things going wrong.
How far in advance should I book my removal in Enfield?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are moving on a Friday, weekend or at month-end, when demand is higher. Two to four weeks’ notice is typical for larger house moves, but we can often accommodate smaller or local moves with less notice. Early booking gives us more flexibility to arrange surveys, parking and any additional services you need. If your dates are uncertain, we can discuss provisional arrangements and options.
Storage
Secure Storage in Enfield with Man and Van Enfield
When you need reliable, flexible storage in Enfield, you want a service that is simple, secure and properly managed by experienced professionals. At Man and Van Enfield, we provide clean, dry and fully insured storage solutions designed around your move, renovation or business needs – from a few boxes to the contents of a full house.
Professional Storage Services in Enfield
Our storage service is built to work seamlessly with your removal or as a stand‑alone option. We collect your items from anywhere in Enfield, wrap and protect them, transport them to our partner facilities, and return them when you are ready. You get the convenience of a professional removals team and the peace of mind of secure, monitored storage.
Whether you need short‑term storage for a gap between tenancies or long‑term storage while working abroad, we tailor the solution to you rather than forcing you into a one‑size‑fits‑all unit.
Local Storage Expertise in Enfield
As an established removals and storage company based near Enfield, we understand the local property market, parking restrictions, access issues and typical flat and house layouts. That local knowledge makes collections and deliveries smoother, especially on tight streets or in controlled parking zones.
We regularly work across Enfield Town, Enfield Lock, Bush Hill Park, Palmers Green, Southgate and the surrounding areas, so we know how to plan timings, access and lift use, and how to liaise with building management where needed.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, renovating or downsizing, our storage is ideal for decluttering before viewings, protecting furniture during building works or holding items while you complete a chain.
Renters
Between tenancies or moving into a furnished property? Store your belongings safely while you decide what to keep, sell or donate, without overloading friends’ garages.
Landlords
Use storage to hold furniture between lets, keep show‑flat items safe, or clear a property quickly after tenancy changes while you arrange works or new furnishings.
Businesses
Our storage is ideal for excess stock, archived documents, seasonal displays, exhibition kit and spare furniture. We can offer regular collections and deliveries to keep your premises clear and compliant.
Students
If you are heading home for the holidays or a year abroad, avoid hauling everything back and forth. We collect from halls or shared houses, store your items, and deliver them to your new address next term.
What We Can Store
Most everyday household and office items can be stored, including:
- Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges (defrosted and dry), microwaves
- Boxes of books, clothes, kitchenware and personal effects
- Office furniture, filing cabinets and boxed documents
- IT equipment – PCs, screens, printers (properly packed)
- Sports equipment, bikes and hobby items
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:
- Perishable or open food and anything that may attract pests
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (e.g. fuel, gas cylinders, paints, solvents)
- Live plants or animals
- Illegal goods of any kind
- Cash, jewellery, high‑value art or irreplaceable personal documents
- Anything that emits strong odours or may leak or corrode
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you during your enquiry or survey.
Our Step‑by‑Step Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with a rough list of items, dates and addresses. We ask a few questions about access, volumes and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs, we carry out a virtual survey (video call) or an onsite visit in Enfield. This allows us to assess volumes accurately, check access, plan parking and decide what protective materials and team size are needed. It also helps avoid surprise costs on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack yourself, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our trained team use sturdy cartons, wrapping paper, bubble wrap and export‑grade covers for furniture. Fragile items are carefully wrapped and labelled. We create an inventory where required, so you know exactly what is in storage.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day we protect floors and doorways where needed, then load your items carefully into our vehicles. Furniture is blanket‑wrapped, and loads are secured to prevent movement in transit. We then transport everything to our partner storage facility, where it is placed into your allocated unit or container.
5. Unloading & Placement
When you are ready for your items back, you book a delivery date. We bring everything out of storage, load it securely and deliver it to your new address. Our team place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify, making move‑in day much smoother.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We price storage based on three main factors:
- Volume of items (space required)
- Duration of storage (short‑term or long‑term)
- Collection and delivery requirements (distance, access, team size)
All costs are explained up front, with no hidden extras. Your quote will clearly show:
- Collection and transport charges
- Weekly or monthly storage fees
- Redelivery costs
- Optional services such as packing materials and packing labour
Longer‑term and business customers may benefit from reduced rates. We are always happy to discuss budgets and options.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man‑and‑Van?
Using a fully professional removals and storage company provides significant advantages over doing it yourself or hiring an unregulated man‑and‑van:
- Protection – Proper wrapping, stacking and handling reduces damage risks.
- Insurance – Your goods are covered under our policies while in our care.
- Trained teams – Experienced movers know how to move bulky, heavy or fragile items safely.
- Time‑saving – We handle the heavy work, logistics and driving, so you can focus on everything else.
- Accountability – Written agreements, clear processes and a stable, established company.
With DIY or casual operators, you often lose out on proper insurance, consistent standards and recourse if things go wrong.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Enfield operates to strict professional standards. We are fully insured, with:
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while we are transporting them
- Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property
Our teams are trained in correct lifting techniques, packing methods, safe loading and customer care. We use appropriate equipment – sack trucks, dollies, straps and protective materials – to keep both your property and our staff safe.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings with the same care we would give our own. Furniture is wrapped, corners protected and loads secured. We minimise handling once in storage to reduce the risk of knocks or scuffs.
Sustainability matters too. We re‑use good quality packing materials where practical, offer reusable crates for certain jobs, and plan our routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage. Where materials reach the end of their life, we recycle as much as possible rather than sending everything to landfill.
Real‑World Storage Use Cases in Enfield
Moving House with a Chain Gap
If your sale completes before your purchase, we can remove your contents, store them securely for the gap, then deliver everything once you get the keys. This takes a lot of the stress out of complex chains.
Office Refits and Relocations
Businesses often need to clear space for refurbishment or to move in phases. We can store surplus furniture, files and IT equipment, returning items as each stage completes, so your staff can keep working with minimal disruption.
Urgent or Last‑Minute Storage
Life does not always give much notice. If a tenancy ends suddenly or building works overrun, we can often provide short‑notice collection and storage, keeping your belongings safe until things settle down.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage with Man and Van Enfield cost?
Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for, and the collection and delivery requirements. We price by volume rather than making you guess unit sizes, so you only pay for the space you actually use. Your quote will itemise collection, storage and redelivery, plus any optional packing services. As a rough guide, storing the contents of a one‑bed flat will cost less than a family home, and longer‑term bookings may attract better rates.
Can you offer same‑day or urgent storage in Enfield?
Where possible, yes. We understand that emergencies and last‑minute changes happen – landlords needing a fast clearance, tenants facing an unexpected move‑out date, or builders over‑running. If you call us early in the day, we will check vehicle and team availability and do our best to offer same‑day or next‑day collection into storage. While we cannot guarantee availability every time, we will always be honest about what we can do and suggest practical alternatives if needed.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and by our storage partner’s cover while in their secure facility, subject to policy terms and declared values. We will explain the limits and any exclusions when we prepare your quote. For particularly high‑value items, we may recommend that you maintain or extend your own contents insurance as an additional safeguard. All storage locations have controlled access and security measures to reduce risks as far as reasonably possible.
What is included in your storage service?
Our standard service includes professional collection from your address, loading and transport to storage, placement into an allocated unit or container, and redelivery on the agreed date. We provide basic protective coverings for furniture and secure loading as part of the price. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, and inventory lists. We tailor the service to your needs, so you can choose a simple collect‑and‑store option or a fully managed, door‑to‑door solution.
How is this different from hiring a basic man‑and‑van and a self‑storage unit?
With a casual man‑and‑van plus separate self‑storage, you are often responsible for finding a unit, organising access, moving everything in and out yourself, and checking insurance. Standards and cover can vary greatly. With us, you get a single, professional service: we survey, quote, collect, protect, transport, store and redeliver your items under one point of contact, with proper insurance and trained teams. This saves you time, reduces lifting, and provides clearer accountability if anything needs to be addressed.
How far in advance should I book storage?
Ideally, book as soon as you have a likely date, especially during busy periods such as summer, month‑ends and school holidays. A week or two’s notice usually allows us to offer more flexibility on times and pricing. However, we know dates can change, particularly with property transactions, so we build in some flexibility. If you need storage at short notice, contact us and we will do our best to accommodate you, adjusting vehicle schedules and team allocation where possible.

For tenants moving between flats or houses, we help you leave the property in good order and avoid last‑minute panic. We use clean materials and protect surfaces to help you hand back your keys with confidence.
Landlords
Landlords and letting agents use our service to clear and pack properties between tenancies, store belongings safely, or prepare furnished lets for refurbishment.

We support small and medium‑sized businesses in Enfield with organised packing of files, IT equipment, stock and office furniture. Our team works methodically to minimise downtime and disruption.

- Supply of strong removal boxes in a range of sizes

Our Step‑by‑Step Packing and Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Man and Van Enfield by phone or online with basic details of your move: property size, location, key dates and whether you need full or part packing. We provide a clear, no‑obligation quote outlining packing, materials and any removals support you require.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger properties or more complex moves, we arrange a short virtual or onsite survey in Enfield. This lets us assess access, volumes and any delicate or unusual items, so we can allocate the right team, materials and time. It also gives you an opportunity to ask questions and refine the service.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our trained packing team arrives with all boxes and materials. We protect floors where needed, then work room by room, wrapping and boxing your belongings securely. Fragile items are given extra care and clearly marked. If you prefer, we can pack only certain areas, such as the kitchen, loft or breakables.
4. Loading & Transport
If you also book our removals service, once packing is complete we load everything carefully onto our vehicles using trolleys, blankets and straps. Our fully insured vans are equipped for domestic and commercial moves within Enfield and nationwide. Each load is checked against our inventory before departure.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload boxes into the correct rooms according to their labels. Furniture is placed where requested, and we can reassemble basic items if agreed in advance. We always aim to leave you with a clear path through the property and essential items easy to access.
Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in Enfield
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Costs are based on:
- Property size and volume of belongings
- Full packing vs fragile‑only or part packing
- Number of packers required and time needed
- Quantity and type of boxes and materials supplied
- Whether removals and transport are included
Your quote will separate labour and materials so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden fees: any additional work (such as extra packing on the day) is agreed with you before we proceed.
Why Choose Professional Packing Instead of DIY
Many people start out planning to pack themselves and soon find it more time‑consuming and stressful than expected. Using a professional packing and boxes service in Enfield offers several advantages:
- Speed and efficiency – an experienced team can pack a typical house in a day.
- Better protection – we use the right boxes and materials to reduce the risk of damage.
- Correct techniques – boxes are packed to avoid crushing, overloading or instability.
- Less disruption – you can carry on with work, family and other move‑related tasks.
- Insurance clarity – professionally packed items are easier to cover under our policies.
Compared with a casual man‑and‑van that only turns up on the day, we plan your packing schedule, provide materials in advance if required and stand behind our work with goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Enfield operates to clear, professional standards for every packing and removal job:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while being moved in our vehicles
- Public liability cover for your peace of mind in your home or business premises
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling fragile, bulky and awkward items
- Use of suitable lifting techniques and equipment to reduce risk of damage or injury
We will explain precisely what is covered and any limits or exclusions before your move, so you have a clear understanding of how your items are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Our approach to packing balances protection with environmental responsibility:
- We use strong, reusable removal boxes where possible.
- Clean packing paper and blankets are preferred over single‑use plastics for many items.
- We can collect used boxes after your move for reuse or responsible recycling.
- We plan access and loading to minimise unnecessary journeys and fuel use in and around Enfield.
We treat every home and workplace respectfully, protecting surfaces and leaving spaces tidy at the end of the job.
Common Real‑World Uses of Our Packing and Boxes Service
Moving House
Most clients in Enfield use our packing service alongside a full home move. We take care of everything from the loft to the shed so that moving day itself is calm and organised.
Office and Business Relocations
For offices, shops and small warehouses, we provide structured packing, colour‑coded labels and careful handling of IT and specialist equipment. This reduces downtime and helps teams settle quickly into the new space.
Urgent or Last‑Minute Moves
Sometimes moves happen faster than expected. Subject to availability, we can provide short‑notice packing in Enfield, deploying extra packers to complete the job in time for your removal date.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does packing and boxes service cost?
Costs vary depending on your property size, how much you own, and whether you choose full or part packing. We normally price packing as a separate line to removals, based on the number of packers required, estimated hours, and the quantity of boxes and materials. Once we have basic details, we provide a clear, written quote with no hidden extras. For smaller flats, a fragile‑only service can be very cost‑effective, while larger homes typically benefit from a complete packing solution.
Can you offer same‑day or urgent packing in Enfield?
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate urgent or short‑notice packing jobs in Enfield. Availability depends on how many packers and vehicles are already booked, and the size of the job. If you’re working to a tight deadline, contact us as early as possible with your dates, property size and what needs packing. We’ll advise honestly whether same‑day or next‑day support is realistic and, if so, how many staff we recommend to complete the work on time.
Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, and public liability cover while we are working in your property. Cover is subject to policy terms, including exclusions for certain high‑value, hazardous or prohibited items. We’ll explain these clearly before your move, so you know exactly what is and is not included. You are welcome to ask about specific items, and we may suggest additional cover or that you move very high‑value possessions personally.
What’s included in a professional packing and boxes service?
Our service typically includes supply of appropriate boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap and tape, plus the labour to wrap and pack your belongings securely. We label boxes by room and contents, and can dismantle simple furniture if agreed. Fragile items receive extra protection and clear markings. We can provide full‑house packing, fragile‑only packing, or help with specific areas such as kitchens or lofts. Loading, transport and unloading are usually quoted separately as part of our removals service, so you only pay for what you actually need.
How is this different from a basic man‑and‑van service?
A casual man‑and‑van typically provides transport only, expecting you to pack and prepare everything yourself. By contrast, our Enfield packing and removals service is delivered by professional, trained staff following a structured process. We plan the job, supply quality materials, pack items correctly, and protect your property. We are fully insured and work to consistent standards, which helps reduce damage and delays. For many customers, the additional peace of mind and time saved outweigh the small difference in cost compared with a basic transport‑only option.
How far in advance should I book packing and boxes in Enfield?
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks before your move, especially if you’re moving at busy times such as month‑end or school holidays. This gives us time to carry out any survey, confirm your requirements, and order specific materials if needed. However, we understand that completion dates can change, so we remain as flexible as possible. If your timeline is tight, contact us as soon as you know your likely date and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
Office Removals
Office Removals Enfield – Man and Van Enfield
Moving offices is a major project. As an established Enfield removals company, we handle office moves of all sizes with minimal disruption to your team and your customers. At Man and Van Enfield, we combine local knowledge with years of commercial relocation experience to deliver smooth, well-planned office removals across Enfield and North London.
Professional Office Removals in Enfield
Our office removals service is designed around one priority: keeping your business running. We plan carefully, protect your assets, and work to agreed timings so you can get back to work quickly and confidently.
We handle everything from small office moves within the same building to full-floor and multi-site relocations. Our teams are trained in handling IT equipment, office furniture, archive files and specialist items, and every move is covered by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
Who Our Office Removals Service Is For
While this service focuses on offices and commercial spaces, we regularly support:
- Homeowners moving a home office or studio into commercial premises
- Renters relocating from serviced offices or co-working spaces
- Landlords clearing or setting up office units for new tenants
- Businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to multi-department offices
- Students running start-ups and moving between shared workspaces
Whether you are scaling up, downsizing, or reconfiguring your space, we tailor our approach to your timetable, building rules and operational needs.
What We Can Move for Your Office
Items Typically Included
We can safely move most items you will find in a modern office, including:
- Desks, chairs, boardroom furniture and reception furniture
- Filing cabinets, cupboards, storage units and mobile pedestals
- Desktop computers, monitors, printers, scanners and photocopiers
- Servers, network equipment and telecoms hardware (pre-disconnected)
- Archive boxes, files, marketing materials and stock
- Kitchen equipment such as kettles, microwaves and small fridges
- Whiteboards, notice boards, artwork and display materials
Items We Cannot Move or Move Only by Prior Arrangement
For safety, compliance and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or require prior discussion:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners, solvents)
- Large industrial machinery requiring specialist lifting
- Live plants in poor condition or very large planters without lift access
- Cash, high-value jewellery or personal confidential documents
- Safes and fireproof cabinets over certain weight limits (by prior agreement)
If you are unsure about any item, we will confirm what is possible during the survey stage so there are no surprises on moving day.
Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: current address, destination, rough volume of furniture and equipment, access information and your preferred dates. We provide an initial estimate or, for larger offices, we arrange a more detailed discussion. Our quotes are clear and itemised so you understand exactly what is included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most office moves we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, lifts, stairwells, and any items needing special handling. We confirm packing needs, IT and furniture dismantling, and any out-of-hours work. The survey forms the basis of your final, transparent quotation and the move plan.
3. Packing & Preparation
Depending on your needs, we can provide:
- Full packing – our team packs files, equipment and office contents
- Part packing – we handle fragile or high-value items only
- Self-packing – we supply crates and materials for your staff
We label crates and furniture clearly by department, floor or room so unloading and placement are straightforward. Where needed, we can dismantle and reassemble desks, tables and modular furniture.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our professional team arrives at the agreed time with suitable vehicles, protective blankets, floor protection and equipment. We load methodically, securing everything to protect against movement in transit. All goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while on our vehicles.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new office, we unload into the agreed rooms and areas, following your labelling system. Furniture is reassembled where requested and placed to your plan so your staff can set up quickly. We remove any moving debris and, if arranged, we can collect crates at an agreed later date.
Transparent Pricing for Office Removals in Enfield
Office move costs vary depending on size, access, distance, and the level of service required. We normally price using a combination of:
- Number of movers required
- Vehicle size and number of vehicles
- Packing and unpacking services
- Complexity (IT handling, heavy items, awkward access)
- Out-of-hours or weekend work
We explain our charges clearly in writing before you book. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional costs (such as extra packing materials or extended waiting times) are discussed upfront. For straightforward smaller offices, we can often offer a fixed price for peace of mind.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY
Using staff cars or a casual man-and-van for an office move may seem cheaper, but it often leads to lost time, damage and stress. A professional removals team brings:
- Experienced planning to reduce downtime and disruption
- Proper equipment for heavy or awkward items
- Fully insured transport and handling
- Trained staff who understand commercial moves
- Compliance with building rules, loading bays and health & safety
In most cases, the cost of lost productivity from a poorly managed DIY move is higher than hiring experienced professionals from the outset.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a reputable Enfield removals company, we take protection and standards seriously.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your office contents while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury.
- Trained moving teams – our crews are experienced in safe lifting, handling IT equipment, and working in busy office environments.
We can provide copies of our insurance details and method statements on request, which is often required by building management or facilities teams.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We know your office equipment and documents are critical to your business. We use padded blankets, floor protection, furniture covers and secure strapping to keep items safe. Where possible, we use reusable crates instead of single-use cardboard, reducing waste and making packing more efficient.
We plan routes sensibly to minimise unnecessary mileage and encourage clients to reuse or responsibly recycle unwanted office furniture. If you have items to dispose of, we can arrange collection and licensed disposal as an additional service.
Real-World Office Removal Scenarios
Moving House with a Home Office
If you are a homeowner running a business from home, we can combine your domestic move with a structured move of your office equipment, ensuring your IT kit, documents and stock are prioritised and carefully protected.
Office Relocation Within Enfield
Many local businesses move between business parks or high street locations. We work around your trading hours, moving early mornings, evenings or weekends where needed to keep downtime low and keep you accessible to your customers.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Lease issues or rapid growth can mean you need to relocate quickly. When our schedule allows, we provide same-day or short-notice office removals, focusing on critical equipment first so your key staff can resume work as soon as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Enfield cost?
The cost depends mainly on the size of your office, the amount of furniture and equipment, the distance between locations and how much packing help you need. Small office moves within Enfield can often be completed in a day, whereas larger multi-floor relocations will require more staff and time. After a short discussion and, if needed, a survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you are paying for and can compare it fairly with other options.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can arrange same-day or short-notice office removals in Enfield and nearby areas. Availability will depend on crew and vehicle schedules, so calling as early as possible gives the best chance of securing the date you need. For urgent moves, we usually focus on key operational areas first – such as IT equipment, essential desks and files – and can then return for any remaining items if required. We still carry out basic checks to ensure safety and insurance compliance.
What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?
All office moves carried out by Man and Van Enfield are covered by goods in transit insurance while your items are on our vehicles, and public liability insurance while we are working on your premises. This provides protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage or loss, subject to usual policy conditions and exclusions. We recommend that high-value specialist equipment is also listed under your own business policy. We are happy to share insurance details with your landlord, facilities manager or risk team if they require them before the move.
What is included in your office removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, safe transport and unloading of your office furniture and equipment between addresses, plus basic protection using blankets and covers. We can add services such as packing, crate hire, dismantling and reassembly of desks, and out-of-hours working to suit your needs. During the quotation stage, we clearly list what is and is not included so there is no ambiguity. If you have specific requirements – such as IT de-racking, server moves or furniture disposal – we will discuss the best way to handle these safely and compliantly.
How is a professional office removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service may be suitable for a few personal items, but a structured office move needs more planning and protection. As a professional removals company, we provide trained crews, insurance, proper equipment, and a documented plan for your move. We liaise with building management, respect loading bay times and consider health & safety for your staff and ours. This reduces downtime, avoids unnecessary risk and gives you a clear point of accountability if anything needs follow-up after the move.
How far in advance should I book an office removal?
For most office relocations, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you require weekend or evening work. This allows time for a survey, planning, and coordination with your IT and facilities teams. However, we understand that business circumstances can change quickly, and we regularly help clients on shorter timescales. If your move is urgent, contact us as soon as possible and we will advise on availability and the most efficient way to structure the relocation.
Man with a Van
Man with a Van Enfield – Professional Local Moving Help
At Man and Van Enfield, our man with a van service is designed for people who want professional help with moving, without the cost or complexity of a full-scale removal. You get an experienced driver, a well-maintained van, and a trained helper (or team) to load, transport and unload your belongings safely anywhere in Enfield and beyond.
What Our Man with a Van Service Includes
This service bridges the gap between hiring a large removal crew and doing everything yourself. It is ideal for smaller moves, single items, and flexible, short-notice jobs.
Typical man with a van jobs we handle
- Small flat and studio moves
- Part house moves and room-to-room transfers
- Student moves to and from halls or shared houses
- Office desks, files, and IT equipment
- Single-item collections (sofas, wardrobes, beds, appliances)
- eBay, Facebook Marketplace or IKEA collections
- Storage unit runs and declutter moves
Every job includes a professional driver and a clean, modern van fitted with blankets, straps and trolleys to protect and secure your items in transit.
Local Enfield Expertise You Can Rely On
We work across the whole of Enfield: Enfield Town, Enfield Lock, Bush Hill Park, Winchmore Hill, Southgate, Palmers Green and the surrounding areas. Because we’re local, we know:
- The best routes at busy times to avoid delays
- Parking rules and restrictions around Enfield high streets and estates
- Access issues in older properties, flats and narrow streets
This local knowledge makes your move quicker, smoother and more predictable – especially with time-sensitive jobs like key handovers, landlord inspections or student check-in days.
Who Our Man with a Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect when you’re moving a few rooms, downsizing, or shifting larger items between properties without needing a full removal crew. We regularly help homeowners move bulky furniture to storage, charity shops, or relatives.
Renters
Ideal for tenants moving between rented flats or houses with a typical 1–2 bedroom load. We work carefully around communal areas and stairwells and can assist with dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture if agreed in advance.
Landlords
Landlords across Enfield use our service to clear or part-clear properties, move furniture between lets, or deliver new items to furnished rentals. We understand access, key collection, and inventory timing.
Businesses
Small businesses rely on our man with a van for ad-hoc deliveries, office moves, archive relocations and events. We work with shops, clinics, trades and professional offices that need flexible, on-demand transport.
Students
Students heading to or from Enfield benefit from cost-effective shared loads and smaller vans that suit typical student belongings: clothes, books, a few pieces of furniture and personal items. We can move you to or from halls, shared houses or home.
What We Can and Can’t Move
Items typically included
- Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- White goods – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted)
- Boxes, bags, and plastic crates
- Office furniture and equipment
- TVs and electronics (properly packed or protected)
- Sport equipment, tools and garden items (clean and safe)
Items we usually cannot move
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or anything not lawful to transport
- Unsecured loose pets or livestock
- Industrial machinery above our van weight limits
- Very high-value items without prior agreement and proper packing
If you’re unsure about a specific item, ask when you enquire. We’ll confirm what’s possible and how to pack it safely.
Our Step-by-Step Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your addresses, dates, list of items and any access information. We’ll ask a few quick questions and provide a clear, no-obligation price based on your requirements. For simple jobs, this can be done in one phone call or email.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we may suggest a short video call or an onsite visit. This allows us to check access, estimate time accurately, and recommend the right van size and number of movers. Surveys are free and help prevent surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
With a standard man with a van service, you usually do the packing yourself. We can, however, provide packing materials or a packing service if requested. We’ll advise you how to pack fragile items, label boxes and prepare appliances (e.g. defrosting fridges, disconnecting washing machines).
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our trained team arrives on time, protects your property, and loads the van systematically. We use blankets, straps and trolleys to secure everything for the journey. Then we transport your belongings directly to the destination, using the most efficient route.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property or drop-off point, we unload items carefully and place them in the rooms you specify. We’ll check nothing is left behind in the van and confirm you’re happy with the positioning before we leave.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our man with a van service is usually charged either:
- By the hour for local Enfield jobs, with a minimum booking period
- Or as a fixed price for defined journeys and item lists
Your price depends on:
- Number of movers required (driver only, or driver plus extra handlers)
- Distance between collection and delivery
- Volume and type of items
- Access issues (stairs, long walks, no lift, parking restrictions)
- Any additional services such as packing or furniture dismantling
There are no hidden charges – all costs, including mileage, congestion and parking (where known), are explained in advance.
Why Choose a Professional Man with a Van Over DIY
Using a professional man with a van in Enfield offers several benefits over hiring a van yourself or using a casual, unvetted driver:
- Fully insured for goods in transit and public liability
- Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and protect furniture safely
- Reliable vehicles, maintained and equipped for removals work
- No driving a large van on unfamiliar routes or in busy London traffic
- Less risk of damage to property, belongings or yourself
Many people underestimate how physically demanding and time-consuming moving can be. Our service saves you time, effort and stress, while keeping your belongings safer throughout the journey.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Enfield operates to the same standards you’d expect from a established removals company, not a casual side job.
- Goods in transit insurance – your belongings are covered while they are in our vehicle, subject to terms and limits explained before booking.
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property.
- Trained moving teams – staff are experienced, briefed on each job, and follow safe lifting and loading practices.
We are happy to provide details of our cover and answer any questions so you fully understand how your items are protected.
Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. Vans are stocked with:
- Removal blankets and furniture pads
- Straps to secure loads safely
- Trolleys and dollies for heavy items
We minimise waste by reusing high-quality packing materials where appropriate, planning efficient routes to reduce fuel use, and combining loads when customers agree to shared journeys. Where possible, we encourage donation or responsible disposal of unwanted items rather than sending everything to landfill.
Real-World Ways Customers Use Our Service
Moving House
For smaller homes, studios, or partial moves, our man with a van option is often enough. We can move you within Enfield or further afield, carefully managing tight timeframes around key collections and checkouts.
Office Relocations
Businesses use us to move desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment between offices, or to and from storage. We can work outside normal office hours to minimise disruption and keep you operational.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
When plans change suddenly – a last-minute tenancy start, urgent clearance, or a collection that can’t wait – our flexible vans and local base in Enfield mean we can often respond quickly. Same-day moves are subject to availability, but we always do our best to help.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with a van in Enfield cost?
Costs vary depending on time, distance, and how much you’re moving. For local jobs in Enfield, we usually charge an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, which includes the van, fuel and at least one professional mover. Larger moves, multiple stops or longer distances are often priced as a fixed quote. To give you an accurate figure, we’ll ask for addresses, a rough list of items and any access issues. There are no hidden extras, and all costs are clearly explained in advance.
Can you offer same-day or urgent man with a van bookings?
Yes, we can often provide same-day or short-notice man with a van services in Enfield, especially on weekdays. Availability depends on how busy our schedule is and the size of your move, so it’s always best to call as early as possible. If we can’t meet your exact time, we’ll suggest the nearest available slot. For urgent moves, have your item list, addresses and preferred times ready so we can confirm quickly and give you a firm price.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance that covers your belongings while they’re in our vehicle, alongside public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. As with any insurance, there are terms, conditions and value limits, which we’re happy to explain before you book. We also rely on proper packing, careful loading and experienced handling to reduce the risk of damage in the first place, so your items are protected both by our insurance and our working practices.
What’s included in your man with a van service?
Our standard service includes a suitable van, a professional driver, and at least one mover to help load and unload. We provide blankets, straps and basic equipment to protect and secure your belongings. We’ll place items into the rooms you choose at the destination. Packing is usually done by you, but we can supply packing materials or add a packing service for an additional cost. Dismantling and reassembly of furniture can also be arranged if requested in advance, so we bring the right tools and time.
How is a professional man with a van different from a full removals service?
A professional man with a van is generally a more flexible, smaller-scale service. It’s ideal for flats, part moves, single items and shorter distances. A full removals service is usually for entire homes or larger offices and may involve multiple vans, a bigger team, full packing, specialist materials and more planning. Our man with a van option in Enfield still provides fully insured, trained staff and proper equipment, but at a cost and scale that better suits lighter or simpler moves.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend moves and busy periods such as month-end, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to guarantee your preferred time. For weekday or smaller jobs, a few days’ notice is often enough, and we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we have on timing and pricing. If your dates are not fixed, we can suggest quieter days or times that may be more cost-effective.

Local Removals Expertise in Enfield

We regularly move customers in areas such as Enfield Town, Enfield Lock, Bush Hill Park, Southgate, Palmers Green, Ponders End and the surrounding districts. We are used to:
- Organising parking suspensions and dealing with tight streets

Who Our Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Enfield altogether, we provide structured, fully insured removals for houses and larger flats. We can coordinate with your completion time and work to tight chains.
Renters
If you are moving between rented properties, timing and deposit protection are usually key. We protect floors and walls, avoid damage to fixtures and fittings, and can help with awkward staircases and bulky furniture.
Landlords
We assist landlords with clearances between tenancies, part-moves and moving furniture in or out of furnished properties. We work efficiently and can provide invoices and documentation for your records.
Businesses
From small offices to retail units, we handle moves with minimal disruption. We can move desks, IT, archives, stock and light machinery, and are happy to work out of hours when needed.
Students
Students often need cost-effective, flexible support. We offer smaller vehicle options and shared-load moves for those moving between home, halls and shared houses, with clear, upfront pricing.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers
- Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment, small appliances
- Personal belongings – clothes, books, ornaments, kitchenware
- Office furniture – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving
- Boxed documents, stock and non-hazardous equipment
- Outdoor items – garden furniture, tools, barbecues (clean and gas removed)
Items Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we usually cannot move:
- Hazardous materials – fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint, solvents
- Illegal items or anything that breaches regulations
- Live animals – including pets and livestock
- Perishable food in open or fragile containers
- Very high-value items such as fine art, jewellery or collections without prior agreement
- Pianos, safes or specialist machinery without a specific assessment
If you have anything unusual or particularly valuable, please mention it during your enquiry so we can confirm what is possible and whether any specialist handling is required.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Everything starts with a straightforward conversation. You can call, email or complete our online form. We will ask about property size, access, dates, special items and any time constraints. Based on this, we provide a clear, written quote with no hidden extras and a clear explanation of what is included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Enfield. We check volumes, access, parking and any dismantling required. The survey allows us to allocate the right vehicle and crew and to give you a realistic schedule for the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Packing service – our team packs your belongings using quality materials and labelling for easy unpacking.
- Part-packing – we pack fragile or awkward items; you handle the rest.
- Self-packing – you pack yourself; we supply materials on request.
We also plan furniture dismantling where required and agree how items should be labelled and placed at the new address.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day we protect floors, stairs and key areas as needed. Items are loaded in a logical order, with furniture wrapped and boxes stacked to avoid crushing. Your goods are transported in well-maintained vehicles, with appropriate securing inside the van. Our route and timing are planned in advance, particularly for longer-distance moves.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place items in the rooms you specify. Beds and other dismantled items can be reassembled if agreed in advance. We carry out a final check with you to make sure nothing has been missed from the vehicle and that you are satisfied with the placement of major items.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe removals pricing should be easy to understand. Our quotes are normally based on:
- Volume and weight of belongings
- Number of movers required
- Distance between properties
- Complexity – access issues, dismantling, packing requirements
- Timing – evenings, weekends or bank holidays if requested
We provide fixed price quotes for most Enfield moves so you know the cost before you commit. Any potential extra charges (for example, waiting time due to delays in key release) are clearly explained in advance so there are no surprises.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a van yourself or using a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper at first glance, but there are real risks and hidden costs. Professional removals offer:
- Trained crews who know how to lift and protect items safely
- Proper equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys, tools and covers
- Goods in transit insurance if the unexpected happens
- Reliable timings and enough manpower for larger jobs
- Reduced risk of injury to yourself or damage to property
As a structured removals company, we work to agreed standards, carry appropriate cover and provide documentation for your records. This level of professionalism is difficult to match with an informal arrangement.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings and your property are at the centre of what we do. Man and Van Enfield carries:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover for accidents or damage involving third parties or property
Our teams are experienced, trained in safe handling techniques and work to clear procedures. We keep vehicles clean and well-maintained and use appropriate protective materials. Full details of our cover and terms are available on request and are summarised in your booking confirmation.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move as if it were our own belongings. That means careful planning, proper wrapping and consideration for neighbours and shared spaces.
- Use of protective blankets, mattress covers and floor protection where required
- Thoughtful loading to minimise risk of movement and damage in transit
- Use of reusable crates and durable materials where possible
- Recycling of used cardboard and packing materials where practicable
- Route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage and fuel use
We aim to balance efficiency and cost with a responsible, sustainable approach to waste and transport.
Real-World Removals Scenarios We Handle
Moving House in Enfield
Most of our work involves full house and flat moves. We regularly coordinate with estate agents and solicitors and understand how completion day can change at short notice. Our planning allows for realistic loading, travel and unloading times to reduce pressure on you.
Office and Business Relocations
Business moves require minimal downtime. We can schedule work outside normal trading hours, label and organise items by department, and work alongside your IT support to ensure systems are moved safely and logically.
Urgent or Same-Day Moves
Occasionally customers face last-minute changes, emergency relocations or unexpected tenancy issues. Subject to availability, we can provide professional, same-day or short-notice removals in and around Enfield. The key is to call us as early as possible so we can check vehicles and crews.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals in Enfield typically cost?
The cost of a move in Enfield depends on the volume of belongings, distance, access, and the level of service you choose. A small flat move may be completed by a smaller team in a few hours, while a large house or office relocation will need more staff and time. After a short discussion and, where needed, a survey, we provide a fixed price quote so you know the exact cost in advance, with any potential extras clearly explained before you book.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent removals in Enfield, depending on existing bookings and crew availability. If you are facing an urgent situation, such as a sudden tenancy end, chain collapse or emergency relocation, contact us by phone as soon as you can. We will check our schedule, explain what is realistically possible and provide a clear quote. While we cannot guarantee availability for every last-minute request, we do our best to accommodate genuine urgent needs.
What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?
We operate with goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, and public liability cover in case of accidental damage involving third parties or property. Insurance does not replace careful handling, so our crews are trained to minimise risk in the first place. We will explain the key terms, limits and exclusions before you book, and full details are available on request. For very high-value or unusual items, additional specialist cover may be advisable.
What is included in a standard removals service?
A standard removals service from Man and Van Enfield includes provision of the vehicle, fuel, a suitably sized professional crew, loading, transport and unloading of your agreed items. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, position items in the rooms you choose and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture if agreed in advance. Packing services, materials, storage and specialist item handling can be added if required. Everything included will be listed clearly in your written quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How is a removals company different from a casual man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers simple transport with limited cover, variable experience and less structure. As a dedicated removals company, we provide trained teams, proper equipment, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and formal booking systems. We survey your property where needed, give fixed quotes, and plan each move in detail. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected extra costs. For anything more than a very small or low-risk move, using a structured removals service offers far greater protection and reliability.
How far in advance should I book my move?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your Enfield removals at least two to four weeks in advance, particularly if you are moving on a Friday or at month-end. However, we recognise that completion dates and tenancy arrangements can change at short notice. If your timing is uncertain, we can pencil in provisional dates and confirm when you have final details. We will always do our best to accommodate late bookings, but earlier contact gives you more options and a smoother experience.
