Local Expertise in Shoreditch

Operating daily in Shoreditch means we understand local roads, parking restrictions, building access and peak congestion times. This local knowledge is crucial for same day removals, where timing and planning make the difference between a smooth move and a stressful one.

We regularly handle moves between Shoreditch apartments, warehouse conversions, office spaces, co-working hubs and student accommodation, working with building managers and concierge teams to ensure access is arranged properly and safely.

Who Our Same day Removals Are For

Homeowners

Ideal if your completion date has changed at the last minute, a previous mover has let you down, or you need to clear a property quickly for sale or handover. We can move whole homes or key items on the same day.

Renters

Perfect for tenants facing sudden notice periods, emergency relocations, or last-minute changes of property. We help you vacate on time, protecting both your belongings and the property to support a smooth check-out.

Landlords

We assist landlords who need properties cleared quickly between tenancies, after abandonment, or prior to refurbishment. Our team works respectfully and efficiently, keeping disruption to neighbours and other tenants to a minimum.

Businesses

Shoreditch is full of creative studios, tech start-ups and established businesses. We support urgent office moves, equipment relocations and short-notice churn of desks, chairs, IT kit and stock with trained office movers.

Students

For students moving between halls, house shares or home and campus, our same day service is a practical option when plans change quickly or you need to be out of your accommodation the same day.

What We Move – and What We Don’t

Items Typically Included

• Furniture: beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, shelving
• Boxes, suitcases and personal items
• Home electronics: TVs, PCs, audio equipment
• Office equipment: desks, chairs, filing cabinets, printers
• Kitchen items and small appliances
• Clothing, books, decor and general household effects

Items We Cannot or May Not 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 items or contraband
• Live animals and pets
• Unprotected high-value jewellery, cash or important documents
• Very large or specialist items (e.g. grand pianos, safes) without prior agreement

If you are unsure about a particular item, ask when you enquire so we can advise or make special arrangements where possible.

Our Same day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online and let us know what needs moving, where from and to, and your time constraints. We respond quickly with an initial estimate based on the information you provide, and confirm our availability for a same day slot.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For same day moves, we typically carry out a rapid virtual survey using photos, video or a call. This allows us to assess volume, access, parking, and any special handling requirements so we can allocate the right team, vehicle and equipment.

3. Packing & Preparation

If you are already packed, we focus on protecting and preparing items for transport. Where time and availability allow, we can provide professional packing support and materials, prioritising fragile and high-value items. We bring blankets, covers and tools for basic disassembly and reassembly.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained movers load your belongings safely, using lifting techniques and handling methods that protect both items and property. Everything is secured in the vehicle with straps and padding. We then transport directly to your new address, selecting routes with Shoreditch traffic and restrictions in mind.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload items into the rooms you indicate, placing larger furniture where you want it. We work efficiently but carefully, protecting floors, walls and doorways as we go. Before we leave, we carry out a quick walk-through with you to ensure everything that should be moved has been delivered.

Transparent Pricing for Same day Removals

Same day removals are priced clearly and fairly, reflecting the urgent nature of the service and the resources required. We generally base costs on:

• Volume of items and property size
• Number of movers needed
• Travel distance between addresses
• Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
• Any optional packing or additional services

Once we have your details, we provide a clear quote with no hidden extras. Any potential additional charges (such as congestion or parking fees) are explained in advance wherever possible.

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

With urgent moves, it can be tempting to rely on friends or the first man-and-van advert you see. However, using a professional, fully insured removals company offers clear advantages:

• Trained staff who know how to handle heavy, bulky and fragile items safely
• Correct equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps and tools for safe loading
• Structured process that reduces the risk of damage or delays
• Insurance protection that informal arrangements usually lack
• Reliable timing and communication, critical for same day moves

In short, professional removals reduce the risk of breakages, injuries and last-minute problems that can quickly become expensive.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Shoreditch Movers operates to recognised industry standards to protect you and your belongings at every stage.

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while being moved
• Public liability cover for peace of mind at both properties
• Trained moving teams with experience in homes, offices and apartments

Our crews are briefed on each job, follow clear handling procedures, and treat your property with respect. Documentation can be provided on request, which is particularly important for commercial clients and building management teams.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even when time is tight, we do not compromise on care. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, secure items in the vehicle, and take care around corners, lifts and stairwells to avoid damage.

We also work to minimise our environmental impact by:

• Using reusable protective materials wherever possible
• Planning efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Encouraging the reuse or recycling of boxes and packing materials

Real-World Same day Removals Use Cases

Emergency House Move

A family needing to vacate a Shoreditch flat the same day due to a sudden change in landlord circumstances. We carried out a rapid virtual survey, deployed a suitably sized team, and moved them to temporary accommodation the same afternoon.

Last-minute Office Relocation

A start-up needed to move from a small shared office to a new studio nearby. We dismantled desks, packed IT equipment with care, and completed the move outside core hours to minimise downtime.

Urgent Student Move

A student required same day clearance of a room in shared accommodation. We transported personal belongings and furniture into storage and then to a new flat later in the week, all coordinated around exam commitments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do same day removals in Shoreditch cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of the move, distance, access and how quickly you need us. Same day services are usually more expensive than moves booked in advance because we have to prioritise vehicles and crews at short notice. We typically price based on time, number of movers and any additional services such as packing. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you are paying for before we begin.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate same day requests, and often can, but availability depends on our schedule, vehicle capacity and crew levels at the time you call. Early contact gives the best chance of securing a slot, especially at weekends and month-end. If full same day removals are not possible, we may still be able to offer partial moves, evening slots or next-day options. It is always worth getting in touch to see what we can arrange for you.

Are my belongings insured during a same day move?

Yes. Our same day removals are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being moved, subject to our terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for work on-site at your properties. We handle your items carefully, but insurance is there for added reassurance. If you have particularly high-value pieces, let us know in advance so we can confirm cover levels and any specific packing or handling requirements.

What is included in your same day removals service?

Our service includes a trained team, a suitable vehicle, loading, transport and unloading of your belongings between addresses. We provide standard protective equipment such as blankets and straps, and can offer basic disassembly of furniture where needed. Packing materials and packing services may be available depending on timing and stock. Parking charges or congestion fees are not always included, but we will explain any additional costs in advance wherever we can so there are no surprises on the day.

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

A professional removals service offers structured planning, trained staff, and formal insurance cover that many casual man-and-van operators do not provide. We use proper equipment, follow safe lifting and handling techniques, and are used to working in flats, offices and tight Shoreditch streets. Our quotations are documented, timings are agreed, and you know who is arriving at your door. While man-and-van can appear cheaper, the lack of protection and support can be costly if something goes wrong, especially during urgent moves.

How far in advance should I book, and can I still call on the day?

Ideally, bookings are made at least a few days in advance, particularly for larger properties or office moves. This gives us time to survey, plan routes and allocate the right resources. However, we understand that not every move can be planned. You can absolutely call us on the day; if we have capacity, we will help. If we are fully booked, we will explain your options clearly and may be able to offer an evening slot or early next-day alternative.
