We support landlords with professional removals for furnished lets, end-of-tenancy clear-outs and part-furnished properties, making sure items are handled, listed and placed exactly where required.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We’ll ask a few key questions about your property, access, dates and the volume of items. Based on this, we provide a clear, written quote with no hidden extras, outlining what is and isn’t included.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit. We’ll walk through each room, check access, stairs, lifts and parking, and note any special items, so we can allocate the correct team, vehicle and materials.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose to pack yourself or use our professional packing service. If you opt for packing, we provide all materials and carefully wrap and box your belongings, clearly labelling rooms and contents. Even when you self-pack, we supply advice on how to pack safely and efficiently.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and doorways where needed, and systematically loads your items. Furniture is wrapped and secured, and everything is positioned inside the vehicle to prevent movement. Your goods are then transported directly to your new address.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property we unload room by room, placing items where you want them. We’ll reassemble furniture that we have dismantled and ensure everything is safely positioned before we leave. We are happy to do a final walk-through with you to make sure nothing has been missed.

Transparent Pricing Explained

We believe in clear, honest pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Property size and the volume of goods
• Distance between addresses
• Access issues, stairs or long carries
• Optional services such as packing or furniture assembly
• Time constraints, such as evenings or weekends

You’ll receive a written breakdown of costs before you book. If your requirements change, we’ll always discuss any price adjustments in advance, so you stay in control of your budget.

Why Use a Professional Removal Company Instead of DIY?

Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van may appear cheaper at first, but often leads to damage, delays and unnecessary stress. As a professional removal company, we provide:

• Trained staff who know how to handle heavy and fragile items
• Specialist equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
• Proper planning to avoid access problems and last-minute issues
• Fully insured cover for your belongings while in our care
• Efficient loading and unloading to save time and reduce disruption

In many cases, using a reputable removal company works out more cost-effective once you factor in van hire, fuel, packing materials, time off work and the risk of damage.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Man with Van Pentonville is fully insured and operates to high professional standards.

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are being moved
• Public liability cover for peace of mind at both addresses
• Trained moving teams with experience in safe lifting and handling

We’re always happy to explain our cover in plain language and provide confirmation of our policies on request.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We put a strong emphasis on protecting both your belongings and your property. This includes:

• Using padded blankets, shrink-wrap and mattress covers where appropriate
• Protecting bannisters, doors and floors in high-traffic areas
• Securing items in the vehicle to prevent movement and impact

We also work towards more sustainable practices by:

• Reusing and recycling packing materials where safe and hygienic
• Optimising routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Maintaining vehicles for better fuel efficiency and lower emissions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal service in Pentonville cost?

The cost depends on several factors: the size of your property, the volume of items, distance between addresses, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any extras such as packing or assembly. Smaller flat moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Once we’ve discussed your requirements or carried out a survey, we’ll give you a clear written price with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to budget for before you book.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

We can often help with short-notice or urgent moves in Pentonville, depending on existing bookings and vehicle availability. If you need a same-day or next-day service, contact us as early as possible with your details, and we’ll confirm what we can offer. While we can’t guarantee availability for every emergency, we do our best to be flexible, suggesting realistic time slots and practical options to get you moved safely and efficiently, even at short notice.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your properties. This provides protection against the unexpected while we are handling and transporting your belongings. Insurance does have certain terms and exclusions, which we’re happy to explain in plain English. We always recommend you highlight any particularly high-value or delicate items during the quotation stage so we can ensure they’re properly recorded and handled with extra care.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service includes loading your belongings at the collection address, transporting them to your new property and unloading them into the rooms you specify. We protect furniture and property as needed and can dismantle and reassemble basic items we’ve agreed in advance. Optional extras include professional packing, supply of packing materials and additional labour for complex dismantling. Your written quote will clearly outline what is included so you can add or remove options to suit your needs and budget.

How is a professional removal company different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport only, often without formal training, planning or insurance. As a professional removal company, we provide experienced teams, proper equipment, fully insured cover and a structured process from survey to completion. We plan access, protect your property, secure your goods in transit and handle heavier or fragile items safely. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs. For anything beyond a very small move, a professional remover usually offers better value and far more peace of mind.

How far in advance should I book my move?

Where possible, we recommend booking your removal in Pentonville 2–3 weeks in advance, especially for Fridays, weekends and month-end dates, which are often busiest. However, we understand that move dates can change, particularly when you’re in a property chain. It’s still worth contacting us early so we can pencil in a provisional date and adjust if needed. If your move is last minute, get in touch and we’ll do our best to find a suitable slot that works with your timings.
