• Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (if safely disconnected)

• Office furniture – desks, filing cabinets, chairs, shelving
• IT and electronics – computers, monitors, printers, TVs
• Artwork, mirrors and decorative items (with careful wrapping)
• Archive boxes, stock, and equipment for businesses

Items We Cannot Move

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our same day removals service:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Illegal goods or substances
• Large commercial machinery requiring specialist lifting equipment
• Unboxed loose liquids (e.g. open cleaning products)
• Animals and live plants on longer-distance same day moves
• Items that are not safely packed or are structurally unsafe to lift

If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll advise you clearly during your enquiry.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quick Quote

You contact us by phone or online with your Shoreditch pickup and drop-off details, access information and a brief list of items. We respond promptly, confirm our same day availability, and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume, access and distance involved.

2. Rapid Survey – Virtual or Onsite

To avoid surprises on the day, we’ll usually carry out a fast survey. For same day moves, this is often done by video call or photos, though for larger or more complex moves we may send someone out if time allows. This helps us allocate the right size van, the right number of trained movers, and any equipment needed.

3. Packing & Preparation

For urgent moves, many customers have already started packing. If not, we can assist with partial packing on arrival, using quality materials to protect fragile items. We’ll:

• Dismantle basic furniture where required (e.g. bed frames, tables)
• Protect furniture with transit blankets, covers and straps
• Wrap TVs, mirrors and fragile items for safe transport
• Label items clearly to ensure they end up in the right rooms

4. Loading & Transport

Our Shoreditch team carefully but efficiently loads your belongings, using professional handling techniques to avoid damage to items, floors and walls. All vehicles are clean, well-maintained and fully equipped with blankets and securing straps. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while in our care, and we plan routes to minimise delays and avoid known congestion hotspots where possible.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled, position larger pieces where you want them, and ensure walkways are clear. Before we leave, we do a final check with you to confirm nothing has been left on the van and you’re happy with the placement.

Local Same Day Removals Expertise in Shoreditch

Operating daily in Shoreditch means we understand local conditions extremely well. From tight one-way streets and loading restrictions to permit zones and peak traffic times, we plan each job with local knowledge to keep your same day move on schedule.

We’re used to dealing with:

• Converted warehouses, lofts and apartments with tricky access
• Busy high streets and limited loading bays
• Old buildings with narrow staircases and no lifts
• Modern developments with concierge and booking requirements

This experience allows us to move quickly without compromising on care.

Transparent Same Day Removals Pricing

We believe urgent service should not mean unclear pricing. Our charges are discussed with you upfront and confirmed before we start. Pricing typically factors in:

• Volume of items and estimated loading/unloading time
• Number of movers required
• Travel distance between addresses
• Any extra services (packing, furniture dismantling/assembly)
• Parking or congestion costs where applicable

We’ll explain whether your move is best on an hourly rate or fixed price. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges (for example, significant delays beyond our control) are clearly explained in advance.

Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY

When time is tight, trying to organise a move yourself often leads to stress, damage and unexpected costs. Using a professional same day removals team offers clear advantages:

• Speed with control – Experienced crews know how to load and move quickly without putting your belongings at risk.
• Proper equipment – Trolleys, blankets, straps and tools help protect both your items and the properties.
• Reduced risk of injury – Heavy lifting and awkward stairwork is handled by trained movers used to the physical demands.
• Insurance protection – Your goods are covered under our goods in transit insurance, which you don’t get with DIY hires.
• Predictable timing – We plan your move professionally, which matters even more when everything has to happen the same day.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man With a Van Shoreditch operates to high professional standards. For your peace of mind, we provide:

• Goods in transit insurance – Covering your belongings whilst they are being moved in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – Protecting against accidental damage to third-party property during the move.
• Trained moving teams – Our crews are experienced, briefed on each job, and follow safe handling practices.
• Vehicle and equipment maintenance – Clean, roadworthy vans and appropriate removal equipment on every job.

We handle your belongings as if they were our own, with clear communication from first call to final item placed.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even on a same day move, careful handling is non-negotiable. We use padded blankets, covers and secure strapping to protect your furniture and appliances. We also take care to avoid scuffs and scrapes to walls, doors and floors at both properties.

We are mindful of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:

• Reuse durable packing materials
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Offer advice on reusing or recycling boxes after your move

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a same day removal in Shoreditch cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of the move, access at each property, distance travelled and how many movers are required. Smaller flat or student moves within Shoreditch may be charged on an hourly basis, while larger home or office moves are often quoted as a fixed price. We’ll ask a few straightforward questions, or request photos, to give you an accurate figure before you commit. There are no hidden extras, and any potential additional charges (such as congestion or parking fees) are discussed upfront.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate genuine same day requests, especially within Shoreditch and nearby areas. Availability depends on our existing bookings, the size of your move and how far our teams need to travel. Calling as early as possible in the day gives us the best chance to help. If we can’t manage the full move same day, we’ll often suggest practical alternatives, such as a same day partial move or an evening slot to make sure key items are safely relocated.

Are my belongings insured during a same day move?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover. This protection applies to same day removals just as it does to pre-planned moves. We’ll explain what is and isn’t covered, and any limits or conditions, before work starts. It’s also sensible to keep any particularly high-value or delicate items highlighted to our team so we can give them extra attention during loading and unloading.

What exactly is included in your same day removals service?

Our standard same day service includes collection from your current address, safe loading, transport and unloading into specific rooms at your new property. We can also dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture items, and provide basic packing assistance where needed and time allows. All moves include protective blankets, straps and the labour of our professional movers. Extra services such as full packing, provision of boxes, or disposal of unwanted items can be added by agreement, depending on timing and availability on the day.

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

While we do offer flexible van-based removals, we operate as a structured removals company rather than an informal man-and-van. That means trained teams, fully insured operations, proper planning, and a clear process from enquiry to completion. We survey your move, allocate the right staff and equipment, and take responsibility for the protection of your belongings and the properties. This is particularly important on same day moves, where there is little time to fix problems if something has been overlooked or underestimated.

How far in advance do I need to book a same day removal?

For true same day service, contacting us as early in the morning as possible gives you the best chance of securing a slot. That said, we regularly accommodate urgent calls throughout the day, especially for smaller or local Shoreditch moves. If your plans are even slightly flexible, we’ll propose the nearest available window – same day, evening, or first thing the following morning. For non-urgent moves, booking several days or weeks ahead guarantees wider choice of dates and times and can be more cost-effective.
