What Our House Removals Service Includes
Items Typically Included
We move most household contents, including:
- Domestic furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs, chests and shelving.
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers and small kitchen appliances (where safely disconnectable).
- Personal belongings – clothes, books, ornaments, toys and hobby equipment.

- Outdoor items – garden furniture, barbecues, planters and tools (clean and safely packed).

Items We Normally Exclude
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, some items are excluded from standard house removals:
- Hazardous materials – fuel, gas bottles, paint thinners, chemicals and explosives.
- Live animals – including pets and livestock (we can advise on specialist pet transport).
- Perishable or frozen food for long-distance moves.
- High-value items such as jewellery, cash, important documents and certain artworks (we recommend carrying these personally or arranging specialist transport).

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, we will clarify this during your survey and suggest safe alternatives where possible.
Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
It starts with a simple enquiry by phone or online. We ask a few key questions about your current property, destination, move date and any special items. From this, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate. Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden extras for stairs or basic dismantling if these have been discussed in advance.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we arrange a survey. This can be virtual (video call) or an onsite visit in Brent. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, volume of goods and any items requiring special care. It also gives you space to ask questions and agree exactly what you want us to do – from full packing through to simple transport.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the run-up to moving day, you can choose from:
- Full packing service – our trained team pack everything using quality boxes and packing materials.
- Part packing service – we pack fragile or high-risk items (glass, pictures, kitchenware), you handle the rest.
- Self-packing – you pack, and we provide boxes and materials if required.
We can also provide dismantling and reassembly of standard furniture such as beds, wardrobes and tables where agreed in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional team arrive on time, protect floors where necessary and begin loading. Furniture is wrapped or covered, and boxes are stacked securely to avoid movement in transit. Vehicles are loaded methodically so items are protected and can be unloaded in a logical order at your new home. We use suitable vehicles for the size of your move and distance involved.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you would like it. Where agreed, we reassemble furniture and position key items such as beds and wardrobes so you can settle quickly. We take away our own packing materials and blankets, leaving you with a tidy, usable space.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Brent
Every move is different, so we price based on what you actually need. Typical factors include:
- Property size and volume of belongings.
- Distance between addresses.
- Access issues – stairs, lifts, parking, long carries.
- Packing level – full packing, partial or transport only.
- Additional services – dismantling, storage, specialist item handling.
We provide a written quotation so you know exactly what is included. Our aim is to be fair and predictable: no last-minute add-ons, and any potential extra costs (such as extra stops or waiting time due to key delays) are clearly explained in advance.
Why Choose Professional House Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company like Brent Movers offers several advantages over a DIY move or a casual man-and-van service:
- Proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, protecting your belongings and property.
- Trained staff who know how to lift, carry and pack safely, reducing damage and injury risk.
- Correct equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys and tools for dismantling.
- Structured planning and timing, avoiding last-minute chaos.
- Reduced personal stress, particularly for families, older clients and busy professionals.
DIY can seem cheaper, but once you factor in vehicle hire, fuel, packing materials, potential damage and lost time, a professional service often represents better value and a smoother experience.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your possessions and property are important. Brent Movers operates with clear protections in place:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and agreed values.
- Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property during the move.
- Trained moving teams who follow manual handling and safe loading practices.
- Documented procedures for claims and issue resolution, should something go wrong.
We are happy to explain our cover levels and conditions before you book so you know exactly where you stand. We also encourage customers to keep high-value small items such as jewellery and cash with them personally.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat each home as if it were our own. On every house removal we:
- Use protective covers for mattresses, sofas and vulnerable furniture where required.
- Wrap delicate items and secure them properly in the vehicle.
- Plan loads to minimise movement and pressure on fragile pieces.
We also aim to work as sustainably as practical:
- Re-using and recycling cardboard boxes where possible.
- Using durable, reusable protective materials and blankets.
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.
Where customers no longer need certain items, we can signpost local charities and recycling facilities in Brent, helping to reduce waste during your move.
Real-World House Removals Use Cases
Moving House in Brent
From terraced homes in Willesden to family houses in Kingsbury, we handle complete household moves, often including packing, dismantling and same-day completion between properties.
Flat and Apartment Moves
Many Brent moves involve flats with lifts, tight stairwells or limited parking. We are used to liaising with building management, protecting communal areas and planning access to keep neighbours on side.
Office and Home-Office Relocations
For small businesses and home workers, we move desks, IT equipment and files, ensuring minimal downtime and clear labelling so your work setup can be rebuilt quickly at the new address.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Occasionally moves arise at short notice due to tenancy changes, sales completing quickly or personal circumstances. Where our schedule allows, we offer urgent or even same-day support, focusing on safe essentials-first transport.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Brent cost?
Costs vary depending on property size, distance, access and the level of service you choose. A small flat move within Brent may be a few hundred pounds, while a larger family house or a long-distance relocation will be more. After a short discussion and, where needed, a survey, we provide a clear written quotation with everything itemised. There are no hidden extras for stairs or basic dismantling if agreed beforehand. This way, you know the full cost of your move before committing.
Can you handle same-day or urgent house removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can assist with same-day or short-notice moves in Brent. Urgent moves are more feasible for smaller properties or part loads, but we will always do our best to accommodate you. Contact us as soon as you know your dates, and we will confirm availability and realistic timings. For very short notice, flexibility on start times and service level (for example, transport only rather than full packing) often helps us fit you in safely and efficiently.
What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?
We provide goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms, and public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property during the move. We can outline cover limits and any exclusions before you book, and you are welcome to request a copy of our insurance details. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional specialist cover or that you transport these personally, to ensure complete peace of mind.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard service includes a professional removals team, suitable vehicles, loading, safe transport and unloading into your new Brent property or onward destination. We protect furniture and handle your belongings carefully throughout. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of boxes and packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and short- or long-term storage. Everything included in your move will be listed in your written quotation, so there is no confusion about who is responsible for each part of the process.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van can be useful for very small, simple moves, but a professional removals service provides more structure and protection. You benefit from trained staff, proper insurance, quality packing materials and vehicles configured for safe furniture transport. We carry out surveys, plan access, and provide written quotations and clear terms. This reduces the risk of damage, delays or misunderstandings on the day. For full home moves, the extra organisation and security offered by a professional company usually outweighs any small difference in price.
How far in advance should I book my house removal?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a firm move date – often two to four weeks in advance for standard house moves in Brent. This gives us time to carry out a survey, arrange packing (if required) and advise on parking arrangements. We can sometimes accommodate moves with less notice, especially midweek, but availability is more limited at month-end and peak periods. The earlier you book, the more choice you have on dates and start times, and the smoother the planning process will be.
