What Our House Removals Service Includes

Items Typically Included

Our standard removals service covers most household and small business items, including:

• Furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs, chests of drawers
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected), TVs
• Personal belongings – clothing, books, ornaments, pictures, toys
• Electronics – computers, monitors, printers, sound systems
• Boxes and containers – packed by you or packed by us
• Outdoor items – garden furniture, tools, plant pots (within weight limits)

Items We Cannot Move or Need to Assess

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or require prior agreement:

• Hazardous materials – paint thinners, fuel, gas bottles, chemicals
• Illegal or prohibited items – anything not lawful to transport
• High-value items without declaration – fine art, jewellery, collections
• Live animals and plants requiring special transport or licences
• Very large or fixed items – hot tubs, built-in furniture, pianos (by arrangement only)

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise during the survey so everything is clear before move day.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few key questions about your current and new property, access, dates and the volume of items to be moved. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation, usually as a fixed price for the agreed inventory and conditions.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done virtually (video call/photos) or in person at your Shoreditch property. The survey lets us assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and the size and type of items. This helps us plan the right team size, vehicle(s) and time required, keeping costs accurate and avoiding surprises.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer two approaches:

• Full packing service – our trained team supplies materials and packs everything for you, from kitchen cupboards to wardrobes, labelling boxes clearly for easy unpacking.
• Part or self-packing – you pack most items; we can supply quality boxes, tape and wrapping and pack only fragile or high-value items if you wish.

On move day, we protect furniture with padded covers and use floor runners and doorway protectors where needed to minimise any risk of damage.

4. Loading & Transport

On the day, our professional team arrives at the agreed time, introduces themselves and walks through the move plan with you. We load systematically, starting with larger items and then boxes, securing everything with straps and blankets. All goods are transported in fully insured, well-maintained vehicles, driven by experienced local drivers who know Shoreditch’s roads and restrictions.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble dismantled furniture and place larger pieces where you want them, saving you time and heavy lifting. Before leaving, we check that everything on the agreed inventory has been delivered and positioned, and that you are happy with the result.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Shoreditch

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of goods and number of rooms
• Access and parking at both addresses
• Distance between properties
• Level of service (packing, dismantling/reassembly, etc.)
• Any special items requiring extra care or manpower

Most moves are priced as a fixed fee, agreed in writing before the move. For smaller or more flexible jobs, we may offer an hourly rate with clear minimums and no hidden charges. All costs, including congestion and parking (where applicable), are discussed upfront.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Attempting a DIY move or booking a casual, unregulated man-and-van can seem cheaper at first, but often leads to hidden costs, delays and risk of damage. With a professional removals company like Man with Van Shoreditch you benefit from:

• Trained teams who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
• Proper planning and the right vehicle size, avoiding multiple trips
• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings en route
• Reliable timings and clear communication
• Specialist equipment such as dollies, straps and protective covers

This reduces stress, lowers the risk of injury, and helps ensure your move runs to schedule.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, financially and emotionally. We take that seriously.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your possessions while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to terms and declared values.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or third parties while we are working at your premises.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are trained in manual handling, safe loading, and how to protect floors, walls and furniture.

We also follow recognised industry best practices, from secure load distribution to correct use of protective materials. *If you have particularly high-value items, please let us know in advance so we can advise on any additional cover or preparation required.*

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move as if it were our own home. That means careful planning, careful handling and minimising our environmental impact wherever possible.

• Use of reusable furniture blankets, covers and floor protectors
• High-quality boxes that can be reused or recycled
• Efficient route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Responsible disposal and recycling of unwanted items by prior arrangement

We aim to balance thorough protection of your belongings with a thoughtful approach to waste and emissions.

Real-World Use Cases for Our Shoreditch Removals Service

Moving House Within Shoreditch

Many of our clients move between flats and houses within E1 and EC2. We are used to dealing with loading restrictions, residents’ bays, and tight staircases, ensuring a smooth move even in busy streets and period buildings.

Relocating to or from Shoreditch

If you are moving into Shoreditch from elsewhere in London or the UK, we plan your schedule carefully, coordinating key collection times and building access so that loading and unloading happen when they should.

Office and Studio Moves

From tech start-ups to design studios, we regularly help businesses relocate or reconfigure their spaces. We can move workstations, meeting room furniture, stock and equipment outside normal working hours to minimise disruption.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up quickly due to changes in contracts, landlords or personal circumstances. Subject to availability, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day moves within Shoreditch and nearby areas, providing the same level of care on a compressed timescale.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Shoreditch cost?

The cost of a house removal in Shoreditch depends on the size of your property, the volume of items, access at both addresses and the distance travelled. As a rough guide, small flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger homes are usually quoted as a fixed fee. Additional services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly will also affect the price. We provide a clear, itemised quotation after a short assessment or survey, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you book.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Shoreditch, especially for smaller properties or partial moves. Availability depends on our existing bookings and the size and complexity of your move. If you need an urgent removal, contact us as early as possible with details of your inventory, addresses and timings. We will quickly confirm what’s possible, provide a clear quote and explain any limitations, such as parking arrangements or building access that may affect how fast we can complete the job.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance that covers your belongings while they are in our vehicles, plus public liability cover while we are working at your properties. As with any insurance, there are terms, limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain in plain language before you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may ask for written details in advance and, if necessary, recommend that you arrange additional cover. Our aim is to ensure you understand exactly how your belongings are protected throughout the move.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard house removals service includes supply of a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading and securing your items, transport between addresses and unloading into the rooms you specify. We also provide basic protection such as furniture blankets and covers. Optional extras include a full or partial packing service, dismantling and reassembling furniture, and supply of packing materials. Any additional charges, such as parking fees or out-of-hours work, are discussed and agreed with you in advance so there are no unexpected costs on move day.

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

A professional removals service offers more than just a vehicle and a driver. With Man with Van Shoreditch, you get trained staff, proper planning, insurance cover, protective materials, and a clear, written quote. We survey your property, assess access and ensure the right team and equipment are assigned to your move. A casual man-and-van may not provide the same level of care, reliability or protection for your belongings. For a full house move, the added professionalism usually saves time, reduces stress and lowers the risk of damage or delays.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

Ideally, you should book your removal as soon as you have a likely move date, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or during peak periods such as Fridays and weekends. For most house moves, 2–4 weeks’ notice is ideal, giving time for a survey, planning and any packing services you may need. However, we understand dates can change, so we always try to be flexible. If your move is sooner, contact us and we will do our best to fit you in based on availability.
