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.

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.

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.

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.
