At Surrey Movers, we provide careful, efficient and professional furniture removals across Surrey and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience in homes, flats and offices of every size, we know how to move furniture safely, protect your property, and keep your move running on time.
Local Furniture Removals Expertise Across Surrey
Our team works throughout Surrey every day – from Guildford, Woking and Reigate to Epsom, Weybridge and beyond. That local knowledge matters. We understand parking restrictions, narrow lanes, steep drives and access issues that can catch less experienced movers out.
Because we’re local, we can visit quickly for surveys, adapt to last-minute changes, and offer flexible scheduling. Whether you’re moving within Surrey or to another part of the UK, our planners route your move efficiently to reduce travel time and disruption.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with details of your move: addresses, access notes, dates and a rough list of furniture. We’ll ask a few practical questions and then provide a no-obligation estimate. For straightforward smaller moves, we can often quote from your description and photos.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For full house moves or more complex jobs, we arrange a free survey. This can be by video call or an in-person visit. We assess:
- Volume and type of furniture
- Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, parking)
- Items needing dismantling or special protection
- Any time restrictions or building rules
Based on this, we provide a clear written quote and plan.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Full packing service – we pack smaller items and prepare furniture.
- Part packing – we only pack fragile items and protect furniture.
- Self-packing – you pack boxes, we handle and protect the furniture.
On the day, our team uses padded covers, furniture blankets, corner protectors and floor protection to minimise any risk of damage to your belongings and property.
4. Loading & Transport
Furniture is carefully carried, not dragged, and loaded methodically into our vehicles. We secure everything using webbing and restraints to prevent movement in transit. Our vehicles are maintained to a high standard and are suitable for UK-wide moves, whether you are staying in Surrey or heading further afield.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload room by room, placing furniture where you want it. We can reassemble beds, tables and wardrobes that we dismantled as part of the service. Before we leave, we check you’re happy with the layout and that nothing has been overlooked.
Transparent Furniture Removals Pricing
We believe in clear, honest pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume and type of furniture to be moved
- Distance between properties
- Access difficulty (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
- Level of packing service required
- Number of movers and size of vehicle
We typically offer a fixed price for the agreed scope of work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. Any potential additional costs (for example, extra stops or changes in inventory) are explained in advance, not on the day.
Why Choose Professional Furniture Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company is not just about convenience; it’s about risk and efficiency:
- We have the right equipment – trolleys, ramps, blankets and covers.
- Our teams are trained in lifting techniques to reduce risk of injury.
- We know how to move heavy and awkward items without damaging walls, floors or bannisters.
- Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance, which you don’t have if you borrow a van.
- We plan the move, so you avoid multiple trips and wasted time.
Compared with a casual man-and-van, we provide written quotes, clear terms, proper insurance and reliable, uniformed staff who take responsibility for your belongings.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Surrey Movers operates to recognised industry standards. We are:
- Fully insured with appropriate goods in transit insurance for your furniture.
- Protected by public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property.
- Staffed by trained moving teams experienced in safe handling and loading.
We’ll explain the key terms of our insurance cover in plain language, including any limits and responsibilities for packing. If you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss additional cover or specialist handling.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your furniture and your property are treated with care at every stage. We use protective materials to avoid scuffs and scratches and place items thoughtfully in the vehicle to minimise pressure points.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:
- Reuse durable packing materials and furniture blankets
- Offer crate hire to reduce single-use cardboard
- Plan routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage
- Arrange donation or recycling of unwanted furniture on request
Our aim is to move you efficiently while reducing waste and unnecessary trips.
Real-World Furniture Removals Use Cases
Moving House
For full home moves, we handle everything from wardrobes and beds to dining sets and garden furniture. We can work alongside your own packing or provide a complete service so you can focus on the rest of your move.
Office Relocation
Businesses rely on us to move desks, chairs, cabinets and meeting-room furniture outside core hours to minimise disruption. We label and plan layouts in advance so staff can get back to work quickly.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Chains collapsing, completion dates changing and last-minute tenancy moves are all part of our day-to-day work. Where we have availability, we can provide short-notice or even same-day furniture removals within Surrey. We prioritise clear communication so you always know what’s achievable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Surrey cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much furniture you have, the access at each property and the distance travelled. Smaller moves within Surrey, such as a few large items between local addresses, can often be completed for a few hundred pounds. Full house moves with larger volumes, complex access or longer travel will be higher. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a fixed-price quote so you know exactly what’s included. There are no hidden charges for stairs or standard dismantling if these are agreed in advance.
Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice furniture removals across Surrey. Availability depends on our existing bookings, the time of year and the scale of your move. Smaller jobs, such as moving a few key pieces between local addresses, are usually easier to arrange at short notice than full house moves. If you need an urgent service, contact us by phone so we can check vehicle and crew availability immediately and advise what’s realistically achievable.
What insurance cover do you provide for my furniture?
Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while in our care and vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to property. During your quote, we explain the main policy terms, including any single-item limits and the importance of declaring particularly valuable pieces. When we handle the packing and wrapping, it’s easier for us to accept responsibility for damage, as we can be confident things were prepared correctly. We’ll always encourage you to ask about anything you’re unsure of.
What exactly is included in your furniture removals service?
As standard, we provide a vehicle of suitable size, a trained crew, loading, transport and unloading of your furniture. We protect items with blankets and covers, and we place furniture in the rooms you choose at the new property. Basic dismantling and reassembly of standard beds and tables can be included if agreed beforehand. Optional extras include full or part packing of smaller items, supply of boxes and materials, and storage arrangements. Everything included for your particular move is itemised clearly in your written quote.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be fine for a couple of light items, but for most furniture moves it’s safer to use a professional removals company. We carry proper insurance, use the right equipment, and send a team sized for the job, not just one driver. Our staff are trained in moving heavy, awkward furniture without damaging it or your property. You receive a written quote, agreed timings and clear terms, so you know where you stand. In short, we offer accountability, reliability and a higher level of protection for your belongings.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For most moves, booking two to four weeks in advance is ideal, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or school holidays. This gives us time to arrange surveys, plan access and schedule the right crew and vehicle. That said, we understand that dates can change at short notice, particularly with property chains. We’ll always do our best to accommodate late bookings where our schedule allows. The sooner you contact us with provisional dates, the more options we can offer.
