Local Shoreditch Expertise

Operating as Man with Van Shoreditch, we know the area’s streets, estates and access points extremely well. That local knowledge is critical on a same day move, where timing and logistics matter.

• Familiarity with Shoreditch one-way systems and bus lanes
• Experience with loading near busy high streets and permit-controlled roads
• Understanding of access issues in converted warehouses and new-build blocks
• Coordination around local restrictions, loading bays and time-limited parking

This allows us to plan realistic timings and choose the right vehicle and crew for your specific address, even at short notice.

What We Can and Can’t Move on a Same Day Service

Items typically included

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, dryers (if safely disconnected)
• Boxes, bags and suitcases – clothes, books, kitchenware and personal items
• Office items – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, IT equipment (securely packaged)
• Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors and audio equipment (properly protected)
• Light garden items – outdoor furniture, barbecues (clean and empty), tools

Items excluded or needing prior agreement

• Hazardous materials – fuel, gas cylinders, paints, solvents, chemicals
• Illegal or prohibited goods – we cannot move these under any circumstances
• Very high-value items – artwork, antiques, jewellery without prior notification
• Live animals or plants in poor condition – we are not licensed animal carriers
• Pianos, safes or extremely heavy machinery without advance assessment

If you’re unsure about a particular item, tell us when you enquire. We’ll confirm what’s possible and whether any special equipment or extra time is required.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & fast quote

Contact us as early in the day as possible by phone or online. We’ll ask quick, targeted questions about the property type, address, access, floors, and what needs moving. Based on this, we give a clear, no-obligation quote and confirm whether same day availability is realistic.

2. Survey – virtual or onsite

For most same day moves, we carry out a rapid virtual survey using photos, videos or a short video call. For larger jobs where timing allows, we may visit onsite. The aim is to check volumes, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any fragile or awkward items so we can send the right size vehicle and team.

3. Packing & preparation

If you’re packed and ready, we simply protect and load. If not, our team can assist with basic packing and furniture disassembly where agreed in advance. We bring professional moving blankets, straps and protective covers for mattresses, sofas and key items. Fragile items are wrapped and secured to minimise movement in transit.

4. Loading & transport

Our trained movers load systematically, placing heavy items at the bottom and securing everything with ratchet straps. We work carefully but efficiently to keep the schedule tight. Once loaded, we take the most efficient route, factoring in traffic, roadworks and local restrictions in and around Shoreditch.

5. Unloading & placement

At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify. Where requested, we can reassemble basic furniture and place larger items exactly where you want them. Before leaving, we do a final check of the vehicle to ensure nothing is left behind.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same day work is more time-sensitive than pre-booked moves, but our pricing remains clear and fair. We’ll always explain costs upfront before you commit.

How we price your move

• Distance between collection and delivery addresses
• Volume and type of items (number of van loads, any awkward pieces)
• Number of movers required
• Access issues – stairs, no lift, long carry distances, parking complexity
• Any additional services – packing, disassembly, extra stops

For smaller jobs, we often work on a clear hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Larger or more complex same day moves may be quoted as a fixed price once we’ve assessed the details. We’ll always confirm what is included, and there are no hidden extras for basics like blankets, straps or standard insurance cover.

Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals over DIY

When time is tight, trying to organise a DIY move or a casual man-and-van can quickly become stressful and risky.

The benefits of a professional team

• Trained staff who know how to lift, protect and stack items safely
• Appropriate vehicles fitted for furniture and goods, not just general transport
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover as standard
• Clear timings and planning, rather than vague arrival windows
• Ability to handle awkward access, heavy items and tight stairwells

With a professional same day removals service, you reduce the risk of damage, injury and delays, and you gain a structured plan rather than a rushed scramble.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Man with Van Shoreditch is a fully insured and professional removals provider.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms
• Public liability insurance – protects against accidental damage to property or third parties during the move
• Trained moving teams – our crews are experienced in lifting techniques, safe loading and customer care

We handle your possessions as if they were our own, documenting any pre-existing damage where appropriate and taking extra care with fragile or sentimental items.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even on a same day move, we do not compromise on standards:

• Use of clean, well-maintained vehicles with appropriate loading equipment
• Heavy-duty transit blankets, mattress covers and floor protection where needed
• Safe lifting practices to protect both our team and your belongings
• Re-use of durable protective materials to reduce waste where possible
• Route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions

Where we supply packing materials, we favour recyclable options and encourage clients to re-use or recycle boxes after their move.

From shared creative studios to small offices, we move furniture, stock and IT equipment with minimal disruption. We can work outside standard hours where building rules and our schedule allow.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a same day removals service cost?

Costs vary depending on distance, volume, access and how many movers are required. For smaller same day moves within Shoreditch, we often work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period covering the vehicle, fuel and a trained team. Larger house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote once we’ve assessed what’s involved. We’ll always give you a clear figure before you book, explain what’s included, and highlight any factors that might change the price, such as additional stops or extended waiting times.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate genuine same day requests, but availability depends on existing bookings, the size of the job and travel time. Smaller moves are easier to schedule at short notice, while full house moves may require more planning. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better the chance we can help. If we can’t complete the full job the same day, we may be able to offer a part-move solution or an early slot the following morning. We’ll always be honest about what’s realistically achievable.

Are my belongings insured during a same day move?

Yes. Your items are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to the usual policy terms, limits and exclusions. We also carry public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move. We’ll explain the key points when you book, and you’re welcome to ask for confirmation of cover limits. For particularly high-value items, it’s important you tell us in advance so we can advise on any specific arrangements or additional cover you might wish to arrange.

What is included in your same day removals service?

Our core service includes a suitable removals vehicle, a trained team, loading, transport, unloading and basic placement of items in the new property. We also provide standard protective equipment such as blankets and straps, along with our usual insurance cover. Optional extras, which must be agreed in advance, can include packing assistance, dismantling and reassembling furniture, and additional stops (for example, collecting keys or dropping items at storage). We’ll set out exactly what is and isn’t included in your quote so you know precisely what to expect on the day.

How is this different from a casual man-and-van service?

While both involve a van and people, a professional removals company operates to higher standards. We use purpose-specified vehicles, trained staff and structured processes for packing, lifting and loading. We’re fully insured, provide written quotes, and follow agreed schedules rather than vague time windows. A casual man-and-van may be fine for a single item, but for urgent moves involving furniture and personal possessions, a structured removals service greatly reduces the risk of damage, delays or disputes. You also have the reassurance of dealing with an established business rather than an informal arrangement.

How far in advance should I book if I know I need to move soon?

If you already know you have a move coming up, it’s always best to book as early as you can, even if the exact date is not yet fixed. We can hold provisional dates or note your expected window and confirm closer to the time. For true same day moves, contacting us first thing in the morning gives you the best chance of securing a slot. Short-notice work is possible, but diary space is limited, especially at weekends and month-end, so early communication helps us plan and give you more options.
