Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if your completion date moves unexpectedly or you need to clear a property at short notice. We protect floors, doorways and bannisters, and carefully load your furniture and appliances.

Renters

Perfect for tenants facing sudden notice, end of tenancy deadlines or urgent landlord requests. We work efficiently to help you vacate on time while looking after your belongings.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We assist with fast property clearances, tenant changeovers and moving items between properties. Our professional team can handle furnished and part-furnished moves.

Businesses

From small offices to retail units, we provide organised same day relocations and internal moves. We minimise disruption by protecting IT equipment, stock and furniture in transit.

Students

We regularly move students in and out of halls and shared accommodation, often on tight timescales. One van and a couple of movers is usually enough to handle typical student loads.

What We Can and Cannot Move on the Same Day

Items Typically Included

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes, chests of drawers and other household furniture
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers (disconnected)
• TVs, computers and general electronics (securely wrapped)
• Boxes, bags and loose household items
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets, stock and equipment

Items Typically Excluded or Restricted

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Unboxed loose glass, unprotected mirrors or fragile ornaments (must be packed)
• Valuables such as cash, jewellery and important documents (best kept with you)
• Live animals and plants in poor condition or extreme temperatures
• Very heavy machinery or items requiring specialist lifting gear (by prior agreement only)

If you are unsure about a particular item, mention it when you contact us and we will confirm what is possible.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Fast Quote

Call or message us as early as possible. We will ask a few key questions about property access, number of rooms and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear price estimate and confirm whether a same day slot is available.

2. Quick Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For many same day removals we use photos, videos or a short video call to assess what needs moving. For larger or more complex jobs, if time allows, we may attend briefly in person. This ensures we send the right size vehicle and crew.

3. Packing & Preparation

For same day moves we usually ask customers to have items packed where possible. However, we can provide professional packing support for key items, wrapping furniture, protecting mattresses and securing fragile pieces as time allows.

4. Loading & Transport

Our team carefully loads your belongings, using blankets, straps and trolleys to prevent damage. We plan the load so that items are secure in transit and can be unloaded efficiently at the other end. We then travel directly to your new address.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing larger items where you want them so you can start settling in straight away. We work methodically to avoid damage to walls, floors and doorways in both properties.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same day removals are priced to reflect the urgency and the resources needed at short notice, but we keep our pricing clear and fair.

Our quotes typically consider:

• Size of the move (number of rooms, volume of items)
• Number of movers required
• Distance between properties
• Access issues (stairs, long walks, restricted parking)
• Time of day and any evening or weekend requirements

We will always explain what is included in the price before you agree, so you know exactly what to expect. No hidden call-out fees or surprise extras on the day.

Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY

When you are under pressure to move quickly, it can be tempting to borrow a van or use a casual man-and-van. In reality, this often leads to delays, damage and extra stress.

With Man with Van Ilford you benefit from:

• Trained movers who know how to protect and handle your belongings
• Proper equipment – blankets, straps, dollies and tools
• Reliable arrival and realistic timescales
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for peace of mind
• Structured planning, even when everything must happen on the same day

Professional removals reduce the risk of damage to your property, your items and yourself.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, even when everything feels rushed. Our service is built around protection and accountability.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being moved in our vehicles
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property
• Trained moving teams – experienced staff who handle items correctly and safely

We work to professional standards at all times, using sensible lifting techniques, appropriate protection and clear communication throughout your move.

Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability

Even on a same day job, we do not cut corners on care. Furniture is wrapped, fragile items are cushioned and loads are strapped in securely. We treat your belongings as if they were our own.

Where possible we also:

• Reuse durable packing materials such as blankets and re-usable crates
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Encourage customers to recycle or donate unwanted items rather than send them to landfill

Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases

Moving House at Short Notice

Perhaps your buyer has brought completion forward or your original mover has cancelled. We step in quickly, assessing the job and getting a vehicle to you as soon as possible, helping keep your chain on track.

Urgent Office Relocations

Flooding, lease issues or last-minute landlord decisions can force a rapid move. We relocate desks, chairs, files and IT equipment with minimal disruption so your team can get back to work.

Student & Flat Moves

Timetables and accommodation dates do not always line up. We help students and flat-sharers move on the same day, even with narrow staircases, top-floor flats and tight time windows.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do same day removals in Ilford cost?

The cost of same day removals depends on the size of your move, distance between addresses, access, and how many movers are required. Same day jobs can be slightly higher than standard bookings because we must allocate vehicles and staff at short notice. We usually price either by the hour or as a fixed quote for the full job, agreed in advance. Once we understand what needs moving, we will give you a clear price with no hidden extras, so you can decide before committing.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate same day requests, and in many cases we can attend within a few hours. Availability depends on how many vehicles and crews are already booked and the size of your move. Smaller flat or student moves are often easier to schedule at short notice. Larger house or office moves may require more planning or, if the same day is not realistic, we will offer the earliest possible slot. Contact us as early as you can for the best chance of a same day booking.

Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?

Yes. Our same day removals are covered by the same goods in transit insurance and public liability cover as our standard services. This means your items are protected while they are loaded, transported and unloaded by our team, subject to normal terms and conditions. We still ask that you keep particularly high-value items such as cash, jewellery and important documents with you. Our trained staff work carefully to reduce risk, and our insurance gives you additional peace of mind throughout the move.

What is included in your same day removals service?

Our service includes a vehicle sized to your move, a trained moving team, loading, secure transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We provide protective blankets, straps and basic wrapping for furniture as time allows. Disassembly and reassembly of simple furniture can often be included by prior agreement. Packing of smaller items is usually the customer’s responsibility for same day moves, but we can assist with key items where needed. All pricing and inclusions are confirmed with you before we start, so there are no surprises.

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

While some man-and-van operators do a good job, many work informally without proper insurance, training or equipment. We operate as a professional removals company with trained staff, maintained vehicles, and full goods in transit and public liability cover. We plan the move with you, protect your belongings, and work to agreed timescales. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs. In short, you get a structured, accountable service rather than a purely informal arrangement.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For same day removals, contact us as early in the day as possible. Morning enquiries give us the best chance to allocate a vehicle and crew for later that day. For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially at weekends or month-end. However, we know emergencies happen, so even if you have been let down or given sudden notice, get in touch and we will always let you know honestly what we can do.
