Furniture Removals
Furniture Removals Soho – Soho Movers
At Soho Movers, we specialise in careful, efficient furniture removals across Soho and the surrounding West End. Whether you are moving a single sofa or a full flat, our professional, fully insured team handles every piece of furniture as if it were our own.
Local Furniture Removals Experts in Soho
Moving furniture in Soho requires local knowledge. Tight staircases, busy streets, red routes and limited parking all affect how a move needs to be planned. Our crews work in W1 every day, so we know how to:
- Plan access for townhouses, mansion blocks and modern apartments
- Arrange parking and loading on narrow Soho streets
- Protect communal areas in period buildings
- Coordinate timings to avoid peak traffic and restrictions
Because we understand the area, we can complete your move smoothly, with minimal disruption to you and your neighbours.
Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Our Soho furniture removals service is designed for:
- Homeowners – Moving between properties, downsizing, or placing furniture into storage.
- Renters – Flat and room moves, end-of-tenancy clearances, and part moves between house shares.
- Landlords – Furnishing or clearing rentals, replacing beds, wardrobes and white goods.
- Businesses – Office furniture removals, shop fits, hospitality refits and relocations.
- Students – Term-time moves, halls to flat moves, or storage between terms.
From a small studio to a multi-floor office, we scale the team and vehicle to suit your exact needs.
What Our Furniture Removals Service Includes
Typical Items We Move
We safely move almost all domestic and commercial furniture, including:
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Dining tables, chairs, sideboards and cabinets
- Desks, office chairs, meeting tables and filing cabinets
- Bookcases, shelving units and TV stands
- Garden furniture, small gym equipment and bikes
- Flat-pack furniture (assembled or disassembled)
Our teams come equipped with padded covers, floor protection, specialist trolleys and webbing to protect every item.
Items We Do Not Move
For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our standard furniture removals service:
- Hazardous or flammable materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals)
- Industrial machinery or equipment over safe handling weight limits
- Unboxed loose liquids or paints
- Illegal or stolen goods
We can, however, usually accommodate most household and office items. If you have something unusual or oversized, let us know at the enquiry stage so we can advise you correctly.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your move: addresses, access, list of furniture and preferred dates. We ask a few guided questions to understand your requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, written quotation outlining what is included, estimated duration, and any optional extras such as packing or dismantling and reassembly.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, staircases and lifts, and to confirm inventory. By surveying in advance, we can send the right size vehicle, the correct number of movers, and the appropriate protective materials for your furniture.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day, or beforehand if booked, our team carries out:
- Professional wrapping of sofas, mattresses and delicate furniture
- Dismantling of beds, wardrobes and tables where required
- Protecting floors, bannisters and doorways
- Labelling of items by room and destination
We can supply strong boxes, tape and packing materials, or provide a full packing service if you prefer not to do it yourself.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team carefully loads your furniture using proper lifting techniques and professional equipment. Items are secured in the vehicle to prevent movement and damage in transit. We then transport everything directly to your new property or storage facility using our fully insured removal vehicles.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place each item in the room you specify. Where agreed, we reassemble beds, tables and other dismantled pieces. We position larger furniture so you can start using your new space straight away, and we remove our used wrapping materials, leaving your property tidy.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals in Soho
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are usually based on:
- Volume and type of furniture
- Distance between addresses
- Access difficulties (stairs only, long carries, limited parking)
- Number of movers required
- Optional services such as packing or dismantling
For small jobs we may offer fixed prices; for larger moves we quote a half-day or full-day rate. Parking charges and congestion/ULEZ fees are always explained in advance where applicable.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Using a specialist removals company offers several clear advantages over hiring a casual man-and-van or attempting to move bulky furniture yourself:
- Safety – Correct lifting techniques reduce the risk of injury and damage.
- Protection – Professional covers and padding prevent scuffs, tears and breakages.
- Reliability – Booked dates, punctual arrivals and a written agreement.
- Insurance – Your belongings are covered while being moved.
- Efficiency – Experienced teams complete jobs faster and with less disruption.
What may look cheaper on paper can become costly if furniture is damaged, stairwells are scratched, or you lose a day’s work doing the lifting yourself.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Soho Movers operates to high professional standards to protect you and your belongings:
- Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your furniture while it is being transported.
- Public liability cover – Protection against accidental damage to buildings or third parties.
- Trained moving teams – Staff are fully briefed, experienced and supervised.
- Clean, well-maintained vehicles fitted with securing points and blankets.
Full policy details and limits are available on request so you know exactly how you are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item we move with care, whether it is a high-end designer piece or a much-loved but well-worn armchair. Our approach includes:
- Use of heavy-duty furniture blankets, shrink wrap and mattress protectors
- Door frame, bannister and floor protection where needed
- Careful planning to minimise carrying distances and risk of knocks
- Reusing durable packing materials wherever possible
- Recycling cardboard and reducing single-use plastics
Our aim is to move your furniture safely while keeping waste and environmental impact to a minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Soho cost?
Costs depend on the volume of furniture, access, distance and any extra services needed. A small local move of a few pieces may be charged at a fixed price, while full flat or house moves are usually based on a half-day or full-day rate with a set crew size. We will ask you for an item list and access details, then provide a clear written quote. There are no hidden charges; any parking, congestion or ULEZ fees are explained in advance.
Can you handle same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Yes, subject to availability. If you need an urgent or same-day move in Soho, call us as early as possible with details of what needs moving, from where, and to where. We will check our schedule and advise what is realistically achievable. When we can help, we will give you a firm time window and price before sending a crew. For last-minute bookings, flexibility on timing and vehicle size helps us fit you in.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance covering your furniture while it is in our care, plus public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. Our team also focuses on prevention: correct packing, wrapping and loading significantly reduce the chance of any issues. We are happy to share policy details and limits before you book so you can decide if you need any additional cover, for example for high-value individual items.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture between agreed addresses, plus basic protection with blankets and covers. We place items in the rooms you specify and take away our used protective materials. Optional extras include full or partial packing services, dismantling and reassembling beds and wardrobes, supply of boxes and packing materials, and short-term storage. Your written quote will clearly list what is included so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals company provides trained staff, proper insurance, suitable vehicles and protective equipment as standard. We carry out surveys where needed, plan around access and parking, and give you a written quote and booking confirmation. Many casual man-and-van operators offer transport only, with limited protection for your belongings and no formal cover if things go wrong. With Soho Movers you benefit from experience, accountability and a structured process designed to move your furniture safely and efficiently.
How far in advance should I book?
For larger furniture removals in or out of Soho, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time slot. This allows us to schedule the right team and vehicle, arrange parking, and complete any necessary survey. Smaller jobs can often be fitted in with less notice, and we do sometimes have same-day or next-day slots. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of dates and pricing.
