Who Our Same Day Removals Are For

Homeowners

Chain dates brought forward, completion confirmed late, or plans suddenly changed? We help homeowners move out, in, or between properties at short notice, taking care with valuables, furniture and appliances.

Renters

Need to vacate quickly because of landlord deadlines, end of tenancy, or unexpected issues? We provide fast, organised moves for renters in flats, maisonettes and houses across Hackney.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We assist landlords and agents with rapid clearances, tenant changeovers and removals of abandoned or unwanted items, always working respectfully within your legal responsibilities and house rules.

From small offices to independent shops and studios, we move equipment, stock and furniture with minimal disruption. Same day moves can be scheduled around trading hours where possible.

Our Same Day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Call us as early as you can. We’ll ask a few key questions: where you’re moving from and to, access details, floors, lift availability, and what needs to be moved. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation price estimate for your same day move.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For same day work, we usually carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or a video call. For larger or more complex moves, if time and distance allow, we may attend in person. The goal is to understand volume, access and any special handling requirements so we can send the right team and vehicle.

3. Packing & Preparation

On same day jobs, many customers have already done basic packing. We can still help with:

• Bringing extra boxes and packing materials if requested
• Protecting furniture with blankets and covers
• Dismantling simple items such as beds and tables where required

For fragile or high-value items, we’ll agree the best protection method with you before we move anything.

4. Loading & Transport

Our professional team loads your belongings carefully, planning the van so items are secure in transit. We use straps, blankets and appropriate lifting techniques to protect both your goods and the property. Once loaded, we take the most suitable route, factoring in London traffic and any restrictions.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it and stacking boxes neatly. If we dismantled straightforward items at pickup, we can reassemble them on arrival if agreed beforehand. Before we leave, we check that nothing has been missed and you’re happy with the placement.

Transparent Same Day Removals Pricing

Same day work is priced fairly based on:

• Size of vehicle and number of movers required
• Estimated duration of the move
• Travel distance between properties
• Access complexity (stairs, long carries, parking issues)
• Any extra services, such as packing materials or dismantling

We typically offer an hourly rate for smaller urgent jobs and a fixed price for clearly defined moves. All costs are explained before we begin, so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden “same day” surcharges added afterwards.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

When time is short, DIY moves often become stressful and risky. Choosing a trained, professional team offers clear advantages:

• Proper lifting techniques reduce the risk of injury
• Experienced handling of fragile and bulky items
• Correct equipment and vehicles for the job
• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
• Less disruption to work, family and other commitments

Casual man-and-van operators might seem cheaper, but without insurance, training or proper planning, the true cost can be higher if things go wrong.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Hackney Man and Van operates to clear professional standards designed to protect you and your belongings:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are in our care
• Public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained moving teams with experience of both domestic and commercial work
• Clean, well-maintained vehicles equipped for removals
• Clear communication from first call to completion

We’ll explain how our insurance applies to your particular move, including any limits or exclusions, so you can make informed decisions.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even on a same day move, care is non-negotiable. We use protective blankets, covers and straps to safeguard your furniture and properties at both ends. Floors, doorways and bannisters are treated with respect, and we take extra care with tight turns and communal areas.

We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact where possible by:

• Reusing durable packing materials when appropriate
• Offering collection of reusable boxes on request
• Planning efficient routes to cut unnecessary mileage
• Disposing of unwanted items responsibly when agreed in advance

Real-World Same Day Use Cases

Moving House at Short Notice

Completion dates sometimes move unexpectedly, or previous plans fall through. We regularly help Hackney residents relocate same day when timings change, ensuring completion and key handovers aren’t delayed by the move itself.

Urgent Office or Studio Relocation

From creative studios to small offices, we support last-minute relocations due to lease changes, building issues, or growth. Our teams work efficiently to get desks, IT and essential equipment moved and set down safely so you can get back to work quickly.

Emergency Clearances

Landlords and homeowners sometimes need rapid clearances because of water damage, fire, or urgent building work. We can often attend the same day to remove salvageable items, clear affected rooms and help stabilise the situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do same day removals in Hackney cost?

Costs depend on the size of your move, distance, access and how many movers are required. Smaller same day jobs are often charged at an hourly rate, while larger or clearly defined moves can be priced as a fixed quote. Same day work isn’t automatically more expensive, but short notice can limit scheduling options. Once we know what needs moving and where, we’ll give you a transparent price with all labour, fuel and standard protection included, so you can decide before committing.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate same day requests, especially if you contact us early in the day. Availability depends on existing bookings, size of the move and how many vehicles and crew we have free. For smaller moves or single items, we can often respond very quickly. Larger properties may require more planning, but we’ll always be honest about what’s realistic. If same day isn’t possible, we’ll offer the earliest alternative and suggest interim solutions where we can.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they’re in our vehicles and under our care, subject to policy terms and limits. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to buildings or third parties. We’ll explain how this applies to your move, including any items that may need special handling or additional cover. It’s always wise to keep high-value personal documents or jewellery with you, and to ensure your own contents insurer is aware of the move.

What’s included in your same day removals service?

Our standard service includes the vehicle, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We provide basic protection such as blankets and straps as standard. On request, and if time allows, we can also supply packing materials, help with last-minute packing, and dismantle or reassemble simple furniture. Parking charges, congestion and any agreed extras will be clearly explained beforehand, so you know exactly what is and isn’t included in the final price.

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

While both involve a van and people, our service is run as a professional removals operation. That means trained teams, fully insured vehicles, proper protective equipment and structured processes for planning and carrying out your move. Many casual man-and-van operators don’t carry adequate insurance, don’t assess access properly and may not have the experience to handle complex or fragile moves. With us, you’re paying not just for transport, but for care, reliability and accountability throughout.

How far in advance should I book a same day removal?

For genuinely same day moves, contact us as early as possible in the morning, especially for anything more than a small flat or partial load. The earlier you call, the better chance we have of allocating the right team and vehicle. If you know a move might be urgent in the next day or two, it’s worth speaking to us in advance so we can plan for possible slots. For non-urgent moves, we recommend booking at least a week ahead where you can.
