Who Our House Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
From period terraces in Enfield Town to family houses in Bush Hill Park, we regularly help homeowners move locally, across London and nationwide. We can work closely with your completion date, estate agent and keys handover to minimise disruption.
Renters
Tenants in flats and rented houses benefit from our careful handling of communal areas, lifts and stairwells. We protect floors and walls, keep noise to a minimum and work efficiently so you can hand the property back in good order.
Landlords
Landlords and letting agents in Enfield use us for tenant changeovers, partial clearances and full household moves between properties. We can remove, store or relocate furniture and white goods to fit your letting timelines.
Businesses
For small businesses and home offices, we provide tidy, organised moves of desks, IT equipment and stock between home and commercial premises. We understand the need to keep downtime low and can schedule work outside normal office hours.
Students
Students moving between Enfield and universities around the UK can book compact, budget-friendly moves. We carefully transport personal belongings, books, PCs and small furniture in shared or individual loads.

If you are unsure about any specific item, we are happy to advise and, where possible, suggest safe alternatives.
Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
We begin with a detailed conversation about your move: addresses, property size, access, dates and any special items. From this we provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras. You can contact us by phone, email or online form, and we will respond promptly with guidance and provisional availability.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most house moves we carry out a survey, either via video call or an onsite visit in Enfield. This allows us to assess access, parking, stairs, lifts and any fragile or bulky items. A proper survey means we send the right size vehicle, the right number of movers and the right materials, helping the move run to time.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you choose our packing service, our trained packers arrive with boxes, tape, wrapping paper and protective covers. We pack room by room, label everything clearly and create an inventory if required. If you pack yourself, we provide guidance on efficient, safe packing and can supply professional materials in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our professional team protects floors, doors and banisters before loading begins. Furniture is wrapped with blankets and, where needed, export wrap or mattress covers. We stack and secure items carefully in the vehicle to minimise movement. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new address, or to our storage facility if arranged.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload in an organised way, placing boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify. Items we dismantled at collection are reassembled as agreed. Before we leave, we check that everything is in the correct room, that nothing has been missed in the vehicle and that you are satisfied with the placement.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Enfield
We base our prices on the volume of goods, distance between addresses, access conditions, the size of the team and any additional services such as packing or storage. There are no surprise charges on the day when the information provided at survey is accurate.
Your written quotation sets out exactly what is included, any optional extras and how overtime or waiting time would be handled if, for example, key release is delayed. Our aim is to give you a realistic, fair price that reflects the work involved, not an artificially low figure that leads to compromises later.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
DIY moves and casual man-and-van services often look cheaper at first glance, but they can create stress, delays and damage if things go wrong. With Enfield Movers you benefit from:
- Trained moving teams who handle heavy and fragile items every day
- Purpose-built vehicles with load securing systems and protective equipment
- Planned timings and proper staffing to complete the move safely and on schedule
- Fully insured services for your belongings and your property
- Written confirmation of what is included and what you can expect on the day
By contrast, many ad-hoc man-and-van operators do not provide written contracts, goods in transit cover or public liability insurance. If a problem arises, you may have limited recourse. A properly managed move gives you peace of mind and protects your possessions.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to industry best practice and maintain comprehensive insurance for your protection:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while they are in our care and being transported
- Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to third party property or injury
- Trained and vetted moving teams who follow established lifting and packing techniques
We conduct regular vehicle checks, maintain clean, presentable uniforms and use appropriate protective materials on every job. Our crews are briefed before each move so that everyone understands the specific requirements of your property and your priorities.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your belongings is central to what we do. We use heavy-duty blankets, mattress protectors, TV covers and wardrobe cartons to shield items from knocks and dirt. Floors and carpets are protected with runners, and banisters and doors are padded where needed.
We also take a responsible approach to the environment. Wherever possible we reuse sturdy cartons, source recyclable materials and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. If you have unwanted furniture or items in good condition, we can advise on local donation and recycling options in Enfield, helping you to move with less waste.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House Locally in Enfield
Most of our work involves local moves within Enfield and nearby areas such as Palmers Green, Southgate and Barnet. Typically we complete these in a single day with one or two vehicles, depending on property size, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Office and Home Office Moves
Small businesses and home offices rely on us to move desks, filing, computers and stock in an organised way. We label, protect and position items so that you can get back up and running as quickly as possible, often over evenings or weekends.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves become urgent due to changes in completion dates, tenancy issues or personal circumstances. Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or next-day solutions, focusing on essential items first and adding packing or further trips if required.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Enfield cost?
The cost depends mainly on the volume of goods, the distance between addresses, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and whether you need extras such as packing or storage. Smaller flat moves within Enfield are typically completed in a day with one vehicle and a small team, whereas larger homes may need multiple vehicles and crew. After a survey, we provide a fixed quotation that clearly lists what is included, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you book.
Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?
Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate urgent and even same-day moves in Enfield and the surrounding area. Availability depends on vehicle and crew capacity, so the earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer. For last-minute moves, we focus on safely moving your essential furniture and boxes first, then discuss additional trips, storage or packing support if required. We will always be honest about what can be realistically and safely achieved within the time available.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved and transported by our team, subject to the terms of our contract. We also carry public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or injury. We will explain the key conditions, such as requirements for packing fragile items, during the quotation process. For particularly high-value pieces, we may recommend listing them separately or checking that your own home insurance provides any additional cover you require.
What is included in a standard house removals service?
A standard removal includes a trained crew, a suitable removals vehicle, protective equipment, loading at your old address, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify at your new home. We move your furniture, boxes and typical household items, and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward items by prior agreement. Packing, materials, storage and complex dismantling are optional extras. Your written quote will list everything that is included so you have a clear picture of what we will do on the day.
How is a professional removal different from a man-and-van?
A professional removal service provides planned staffing, suitable vehicles, protective materials and formal insurance. Our crews are trained in safe lifting, packing and loading, and your move is scheduled and managed by an experienced coordinator. Many informal man-and-van services do not include goods in transit cover, public liability insurance or written contracts, and may not have the equipment or manpower to handle larger or more complex moves safely. While man-and-van can work for very small, simple jobs, most home moves benefit from a structured, fully insured service.
How far in advance should I book my house removal?
Ideally, you should contact us as soon as you have a likely move window, even if your exact date is not yet confirmed. For peak times, such as Fridays and month-ends, booking two to four weeks ahead is sensible, especially for larger properties. Once your date is fixed, we issue written confirmation so you know your slot is reserved. If your plans change, we will do our best to adjust, subject to availability. We can also sometimes accommodate short-notice moves, but advance booking gives you the widest choice of dates and times.
