“People ask about price first and access second. It should be the other way round. Tell me about the back lane and the half landing on your stairs, and I can tell you exactly what the job costs. Guess at it, and somebody has a bad morning.”
Syed, founder, YourVans
What a furniture movewith us includes
Our removals team loads your furniture, transports it, and puts it in the room you want it. Two trained movers arrive in a Luton van with wrapping, straps, dollies and bubble wrap.
Protection goes on before anything is lifted. Sofa covers and mattress covers protect fabric. Bubble wrap goes round glass, mirrors and fragile items.
The heavy lifting is ours. A corner sofa, a double bed, a chest of drawers, a bookcase or a fridge freezer gets carried, never dragged.
Tell us before the day if a wardrobe or bed frame has to come apart. Flat-pack furniture rarely survives a move assembled, and we would rather plan for it than discover it at eight in the morning.

How much do furniture removalsin Gateshead cost?
Furniture removals in Gateshead, from
£130
Calculated from three things, then locked before you book.
Volume
The main driver. An armchair across Felling is not a three bed house.
Access
A long carry from a permit bay, a steep bank, or stairs up to a flat.
Van size
Whatever the load actually needs — never a rate card.
The figure you see online is the figure you pay.
An hourly rate
Two hour minimum
YourVans
Fixed at booking
Volume is the main driver. An armchair moved across Felling costs far less than a three bed house going over the Tyne Bridge.
Access moves the figure too. A long carry from a permit bay, a steep bank, or stairs up to a flat all add crew time to the job.
There is no hourly rate and no two hour minimum, so a slow staircase does not cost you more. No deposits, no surge pricing on a Saturday, no call back with a revised number.
Meet our crew
Your move is carried out by our own trained crew, in our own vans. YourVans does not subcontract work to a third party, so the team at your door is the team we employ and train.That matters more than it sounds. Marketplace platforms match your job to whichever operator bids for it, and you often do not know who is coming until the van pulls up. Here you are booking a company, not a listing.
Single items, sofa deliveryand collections
We take single item furniture moves, not only full house removals.
Sofas, beds, wardrobes, dining tables and chairs, cabinets, desks, sideboards — anything big and awkward. A furniture removal is the right service for one item or a few: a sofa going to another address, a bedroom suite relocating, a handful of pieces picked up from different places, or furniture shifting between two properties. Once it is most of what is in the house, it is a full home removal instead, and our Gateshead home removals page covers that.
Doing it yourself looks straightforward until a three-seater has to come down from an upper Tyneside flat in Bensham, or up a bank in Whickham on a wet morning. People book us for a single item because they have no van that will take it, nobody free to lift the other end, stairs that make it a two-person job, or a piece too valuable — in money or in sentiment — to trust to a borrowed van.
Antiques, a piano, a glass-topped table, something handed down: tell us what it means as well as what it weighs. It changes the wrapping, where it sits in the van, and whether two of us carry it or three. The £50,000 goods in transit cover applies to one item exactly as it does to a full house.
What we do not do is house clearance. We move furniture that is coming with you, so anything bound for the tip stays behind.
Single item furniture moves
One sofa, one wardrobe, one bedside table, priced the same way as a full load. Sofa delivery in Gateshead works the same: give us the collection address, the delivery address and the item.
Marketplace pickups and store collections
Facebook Marketplace pickups and store collections from the Metrocentre or Team Valley are ordinary jobs for us.
Across the river
Furniture collection and delivery Gateshead to Newcastle upon Tyne over the Redheugh Bridge, priced as a single short distance move.
Office furniture
Office furniture removals run on the same basis, including desks and chairs out of Team Valley offices.
Van sizes, crewand what fits
Our Luton van holds 20 cubic metres, which covers most flats and many three bed family homes in a single trip. A sofa, a double bed, a wardrobe, a dining table, a TV unit and boxes all fit in that space.
Standard crew is two, a driver and a helper. That gives a two man lift on every heavy item, which is what a sofa bed or a washing machine needs.
Crew goes to three when the move exceeds 30 cubic metres. Bigger loads are quoted the same way, from volume and distance, never from a rate card.
Insurance, and who actually turns up
Every booking includes £50,000 of goods in transit insurance as standard. You are fully insured while your furniture is loaded, secure in transit, and carried into the new place.
The crew is ours. Same professional movers, same vans, work never subcontracted to a marketplace driver.
That matters most for antique furniture, glass topped dining sets and sideboards that cannot be replaced. Careful handling comes from people who answer to the company.
Areas we cover forfurniture removals
Daily through NE8, NE9, NE10 and NE11. Fifteen minutes from most of Gateshead.
Back lanes, permit parking and terraced streets where a Luton cannot sit outside the door. Tyneside flats here need planning of their own.
The banks are steep, and an uphill carry changes how we stage the load. Worth telling us which end of the street you are on.
Short runs from the Jarrow yard, and half landings in the older flats that decide whether a three seater goes up the stairs or a door comes off first.
Store collections and office furniture out of Team Valley are ordinary jobs. Loading bays there often need booking in advance.
Village streets and gradients to the west. Crews pass the Angel of the North most days of the week.
Driveways on most properties and straightforward doorstep loads, with direct access off the A1.
Based fifteen minutes away
We are based at Jarrow Business Centre, Viking Industrial Park, Rolling Mill Road, Jarrow, Tyne and Wear, NE32 3DT, fifteen minutes from most of Gateshead. Local removals run daily through NE8, NE9, NE10 and NE11, taking in Saltwell, Low Fell, Whickham, Blaydon, Ryton and Birtley. Crews pass the Angel of the North most days of the week.
Beyond Gateshead
We cover Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Durham, South Shields, Washington, Whitley Bay, Morpeth, Hexham, Chester-le-Street, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough. Family homes and flats, Quayside apartments and Baltic Quarter new builds included.
If you need the whole property rather than the furniture, see our house removals in Gateshead. Moving out of halls or a shared flat is covered on our student removals page.
Where we set off from forGateshead moves
Our yard is a real address you can visit, not a coverage area on a map.
Jarrow Business Center, Viking Industrial Park, Rolling Mill RoadJarrow, Tyne and Wear NE32 3DTUnited KingdomBooking, access and parking in Gateshead
Book at least 24 hours ahead. Short notice availability does come up, so check online before you assume a date has gone.
Free cancellation applies up to 48 hours before your move. The date can be changed up to 24 hours before.
Parking is the first thing we ask about, not the last. Gateshead has back lanes, permit parking and terraced streets where a Luton cannot sit outside the door.
Tell us about lift access and loading restrictions when you book. Nothing slows a move down like a van with nowhere to stop.
What we weigh up is the doorway and hallway width, the stairs and the landing, the turn at the top, whether there is a lift, and how close the van can get to the door. Gateshead makes both ends of that interesting: an upper Tyneside flat in Bensham or Saltwell is a stair carry from the first item to the last, while the western villages sit on gradients steep enough to decide where a loaded van can safely stand.
Where a piece will not come out the way it went in, we settle the alternative before the day rather than on the step — another doorway, a different handling method, or taking it apart and rebuilding it at the other end.
The banks are the second thing
Bensham, Deckham and Sheriff Hill are steep, and an uphill carry changes how we stage the load.
Tyneside flats in Bensham need planning of their own
Half landings, tight staircases and narrow doorways decide whether a three seater goes up the stairs or a door comes off first.
What happens onmoving day
Boxes labelled by room save time at both ends.
The crew rings ahead
Then walks the property with you before a single item is lifted. We agree what goes, what stays, and where each piece lands at the other end.
Protection goes on first
Sofa covers and mattress covers protect fabric. Bubble wrap goes round glass, mirrors and fragile items — before anything is lifted.
Big items build the wall
Sofas, mattresses and wardrobes load early and build a solid wall inside the van. Boxes and bulky items fill the gaps around them.
Fragile rides on top
Fragile boxes travel on top, strapped so nothing moves on the road.
Unloading runs in reverse
Furniture goes room to room, placed where you want it, before we leave. On the premium package our packing service handles the boxes before the day and the unpacking after it.
