At Removals Switzerland, we provide careful, efficient furniture removals across London for homes and businesses of all sizes. As an experienced removals company, we understand that every item of furniture – from flat-pack wardrobes to heirloom cabinets – needs to arrive in the same condition it left. Our professional, fully insured teams handle every stage of your move so you don’t have to worry about damage, delays or disruption.
Our furniture removals service is designed to take the weight off your shoulders. We can handle single items through to full household or office moves, including:
We use quality moving blankets, furniture covers, floor protection and straps to keep everything secure in transit. Where needed, our team can disassemble and reassemble larger items on the day.
If you’re moving house within London or relocating further afield, we provide professional furniture removals tailored to your property size and access. From period townhouses to new-build apartments, we plan the route and logistics in advance to avoid unnecessary risks and delays.
Whether you’re moving out of a rented flat or between shared houses, we help you move your furniture quickly while protecting both your belongings and the landlord’s property. We pay particular attention to stairwells, communal areas and lifts so you don’t risk losing your deposit due to scuffs or damage.
We support landlords with furnished property moves, including removal of old furniture, delivery of new sets and redistribution between properties. We work efficiently to minimise void periods and can often accommodate short-notice changes between tenancies.
Our office furniture removals cover desks, workstations, storage units, reception furniture and meeting room setups. We plan moves around your trading hours to keep disruption to a minimum and can coordinate with IT or facilities teams on-site.
Students moving halls or shared houses often have a small number of key items – a bed, desk, chair and a few personal pieces. Our small furniture removals option gives you a cost-effective way to move everything safely without needing to hire a van or rely on friends.
For safety, legal or specialist reasons, we normally cannot move:
If you’re unsure about a particular item, mention it during your enquiry and we’ll advise whether it’s covered by our standard service or requires a specialist.
Contact us by phone or online with basic details: where you’re moving from and to, property type, rough list of furniture and preferred dates. We’ll ask focused questions to understand access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included.
For larger moves or more complex properties, we arrange a short video or onsite survey. This lets us check stairwells, door widths, lift sizes and parking. A proper survey helps us send the right size vehicle and team, avoiding surprises on the day and ensuring an accurate price.
On the day of the move, or beforehand if agreed, we protect your furniture with blankets, covers and shrink wrap where required. If you’ve booked our packing service, we’ll safely box smaller items and disconnect simple appliances. Larger items such as wardrobes or bed frames can be disassembled if necessary to move them without damage.
Our trained moving team loads your furniture carefully, using trolleys and equipment to protect both items and property. Everything is secured inside the vehicle using straps and appropriate stacking methods. We then transport your goods directly to your new address using suitable routes for our vehicles and the local road conditions.
On arrival, we unload and place furniture in the rooms you specify, so you’re not left dragging heavy items around after we leave. If we dismantled any items as part of our service, we reassemble them before we go, subject to prior agreement. We perform a final walk-through with you to make sure you’re happy with the result.
Our pricing is straightforward and based on clear factors:
We usually price moves as a fixed quotation rather than by the hour, so you know the cost in advance. Any potential additional charges (for example, congestion charges or parking fees) are explained before you book. There are no hidden extras added on the day.
Hiring a van and asking friends may seem cheaper, but it carries real risks. Furniture is heavy, awkward and easy to damage, particularly on stairs and tight turns. Our professional teams are trained in safe lifting techniques and know how to protect items and property. Using a casual man-and-van with no insurance or paperwork can leave you exposed if something is broken or lost. With Removals Switzerland, you benefit from planned logistics, proper equipment, and insurance-backed protection throughout.
We take our duty of care seriously and operate to recognised industry standards:
Policy details and limits are available on request, and we’re happy to explain exactly how cover applies to your move.
We know many items carry sentimental as well as financial value. Our crews handle every piece with care, using appropriate lifting, padding and wrapping to minimise risk. We aim to reduce waste by reusing durable moving blankets and crates, and we source recyclable packing materials where possible. When disposing of unwanted furniture, we can recommend responsible reuse or recycling routes rather than landfill, helping you move in a more sustainable way.
From studio flats to family homes, we manage full furniture moves across London and beyond. We coordinate with you and, if needed, your estate agent or building management to arrange access and timing, helping to make move-in day as smooth as possible.
Businesses rely on us for structured office furniture removals, including dismantling workstations, moving storage and setting up at the new site. We can phase moves to keep parts of your operation running and work outside normal hours to reduce downtime.
Occasionally moves come up unexpectedly – a tenancy ending sooner than planned, a quick sale, or a sudden change of circumstances. Subject to availability, we can offer same-day or short-notice furniture removals, focusing on the essential items you need moved first.
The cost depends mainly on how much furniture you have, the distance between addresses and the access at each property. A small flat move within the same area will be cheaper than a full three-bedroom house going across London. We usually offer fixed quotes rather than hourly rates, based on a brief assessment or survey. This means you know the full price before you commit. There may be additional charges for parking, congestion or extra services like packing, but these are always explained clearly in advance.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent furniture removals, especially for smaller loads, depending on our schedule and crew availability. The more flexible you can be on timing during the day, the easier it is for us to fit you in. Urgent bookings may cost slightly more than moves booked in advance because of scheduling and resource planning. If you have an emergency move, contact us as early as possible and we’ll give you honest advice on what we can realistically achieve.
Yes. Your furniture is protected by our goods in transit insurance while it’s being moved, and we also carry public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. Insurance is there for peace of mind rather than to replace proper care, so our teams still handle everything with great attention. We’ll outline the main policy terms, including any limits or exclusions, before you book. You’re welcome to ask for written details if you need them for your own records or for a business move.
Our standard service includes a trained team, a suitable vehicle, loading, safe transport and unloading of your furniture to the rooms you specify. We protect items with blankets and covers as needed. Optional extras include packing of smaller items, supply of boxes and materials, and disassembly/reassembly of larger furniture, which should be agreed in advance. We do not typically disconnect gas, wired-in appliances or handle hazardous items. Everything included in your particular move will be listed clearly in your quotation.
A casual man-and-van may move items from A to B, but often without formal insurance, trained staff or proper equipment. We provide planned, structured moves with trained crews, protective materials and insurance-backed cover. We assess access, plan loading, and secure furniture correctly in the vehicle to reduce the risk of damage. You also receive written confirmation of your booking, clear pricing and support if plans change. For valuable or irreplaceable furniture, using a professional removals company significantly reduces your risk.
Ideally, book as soon as you know your moving date, especially if you’re moving at the end of the month, on a Friday or during peak seasons such as summer. One to three weeks’ notice is typical for most local furniture removals in London. That said, we understand dates can change, so we try to be flexible and accommodate late bookings where possible. Early booking simply gives you better choice of times and keeps costs down compared with last-minute arrangements.
