What is excluded or moved by special arrangement

Some items require special handling or may be excluded from a standard quote. We will always be clear about this during your enquiry.

• Very high value items (fine art, antiques, collections) – by prior agreement only
• Pianos and extremely heavy safes – may require specialist movers
• Hazardous materials (paints, fuels, gas bottles, chemicals) – not transported

We are always happy to discuss unusual items in advance so we can advise on the safest and most practical solution.

Local Furniture Removals Expertise in Lee

Being based in Lee means we understand the area in detail: parking restrictions, narrow streets, busy school runs and the access challenges of period properties and purpose-built flats. This local knowledge allows us to plan your move realistically and avoid unnecessary delays.

We regularly carry out moves in Lee Green, Hither Green, Blackheath, Grove Park and across the wider Lewisham and South East London area. Our drivers know the best routes and times to travel, helping to keep your move on schedule.

Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating, we can move your full household of furniture or just the heavier items you cannot safely manage yourself. We can also work alongside your own vehicle if you are doing part of the move.

Renters

From studio flats to large rental houses, we help tenants move in or out with minimal disruption. We are used to navigating shared stairwells and limited parking, and we treat every property with respect, helping you avoid damage and deposit disputes.

Landlords

We assist landlords with furnished and part‑furnished property moves, including clearing or delivering furniture for new tenancies, end‑of‑tenancy changes and refreshes between lets.

Businesses

Our team regularly supports office and commercial furniture removals, from single desks to complete office relocations within Lee and across London. We can often schedule work outside your core business hours to reduce downtime.

Students

We provide affordable student moves for term-time relocations, end-of-year clear-outs and small loads of furniture and belongings to or from halls and shared houses.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process

1. Enquiry & quotation

Contact us by phone, email or our online form with details of what you need to move, where from and where to, and your preferred date. We ask a few questions about access, floors, lifts and parking. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day.

2. Survey – virtual or onsite

For larger jobs, we may suggest a short video call or onsite visit in Lee to check access, staircases and furniture sizes. This helps us allocate the right vehicle, team and equipment, and avoids last minute surprises on moving day.

3. Packing & preparation

You can handle the packing yourself, or we can provide a professional packing service for your furniture and belongings. We supply blankets, furniture covers and basic protective materials as standard. By prior agreement, we can also dismantle and reassemble certain items such as beds and wardrobes.

4. Loading & transport

On the day, our trained, professional movers arrive on time, introduce themselves and walk through the job with you. We protect floors and key areas as needed, then carefully load your furniture using trolleys, straps and protective blankets. Everything is secured safely in our vehicle before we set off.

5. Unloading & placement

At your new property, we unload your furniture and place each item in the room you choose. We are happy to adjust positions within reason until you are satisfied. Before leaving, we do a final check with you to ensure nothing has been missed.

Pricing and How Our Charges Work

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Most jobs are quoted either as:

• A fixed price for the entire move, based on the inventory and distances provided; or
• An hourly rate for smaller or flexible jobs where the scope may change.

Our quote will explain:

• How many movers are included
• Which vehicle size we plan to use
• What time we expect to start and finish
• Any extra services (packing, dismantling, additional stops)

There are no hidden charges for fuel or congestion where these have been included in the quote. If something changes – for example, you add more furniture later – we will discuss any price adjustments with you in advance.

Why Choose Professional Furniture Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals team is not just about convenience. It also means:

• Reduced risk of damage to furniture, walls and staircases
• Correct lifting techniques to protect your back and health
• Access to the right tools, trolleys, straps and blankets
• Efficient loading so fewer trips are needed
• Cover through goods in transit insurance if something goes wrong

A casual man-and-van without proper cover may cost slightly less on paper, but if something is damaged or a mover is injured on your property, you may be left to deal with the consequences. Our service combines the flexibility of a man-and-van with the standards of a professional removals company.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man with Van Lee operates to strict professional standards to protect both you and your belongings.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your furniture while it is in our vehicle, subject to policy terms and agreed values.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to your property or third parties during the move.
• Trained moving teams – all staff are trained in safe lifting, handling awkward items and working in customers’ homes and offices.

We are punctual, polite and respectful, and we treat your furniture as if it were our own. If you have particular concerns about any item, we can discuss extra protection or handling instructions in advance.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We put strong emphasis on protecting both your belongings and the environment.

• Furniture is wrapped with padded blankets and secured with straps.
• Mattresses and soft furnishings can be placed in protective covers by request.
• We use reusable blankets and crates where possible to reduce waste.
• Routes are planned efficiently to minimise fuel use and emissions.
• Where practical, we can collect used boxes for reuse or recycling.

Our aim is to complete each move safely, with minimal disruption and minimal environmental impact.

Real-World Uses for Our Furniture Removals in Lee

Moving house

Office and commercial moves

We support local businesses with office relocations, furniture reshuffles, deliveries from storage and store refits. We can coordinate with building management where required.

Urgent or same-day moves

Subject to availability, we can often help with last-minute or same-day furniture removals in Lee – for example, if another mover has let you down or you need to clear a property quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do furniture removals in Lee cost?

The cost depends on the volume of furniture, access at each property, distance travelled and whether you need extra services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller jobs may be charged by the hour, while larger moves are usually a fixed price. As a rough guide, a simple local move of a few large furniture items within Lee may start from a modest hourly rate, while a full 2–3 bedroom property will be more. We always provide a clear, written quote before you book.

Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?

We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Lee, especially for smaller loads, but this depends on our schedule and crew availability. If you need an urgent move, contacting us as early as possible in the day gives us the best chance to fit you in. For time‑sensitive jobs, we will be honest about what is realistic, how many movers we can provide and when we can arrive, so you can make an informed decision.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your furniture while it is in our vehicle, and public liability insurance for work at your property. Like all policies, there are limits, exclusions and conditions – for example, items must be properly packed and declared in advance. We are happy to explain the relevant cover when quoting, and if you have very high-value items, we recommend discussing them specifically so we can advise on the best approach or any additional protection needed.

What is included in your furniture removals service?

Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, trained, professional movers, loading, transport and unloading of your furniture, along with protective blankets and basic floor/door protection. On request, we can add packing, dismantling and reassembly of certain items, and extra stops for key collection or storage. We always agree the scope in writing before the move so you know exactly what is and isn’t included, and we can tailor the service to match your budget and requirements.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While we offer the flexibility of a man-and-van, we operate as a structured removals service. That means fully insured vehicles, trained staff, planned routes, proper moving equipment and written quotations. Many casual operators do not carry adequate insurance or have formal training, which can leave you exposed if items are damaged or someone is injured. With Man with Van Lee, you benefit from professional standards and accountability, while still keeping the service personal, local and competitively priced.

How far in advance should I book?

For weekend and month-end dates, we recommend booking 2–3 weeks in advance, as these periods fill quickly. For midweek moves or smaller furniture jobs within Lee, we can often accommodate bookings with a few days’ notice, and occasionally on the same day. Once you have a confirmed moving date, it is best to contact us straightaway so we can reserve a vehicle and team for you. We will then stay in touch if any details change before the move.
