Furniture Removals
Furniture Removals Homerton – Man and Van Homerton
At Man and Van Homerton, we provide careful, reliable furniture removals across Homerton and the surrounding East London areas. With years of hands-on experience moving households, offices and student homes, we know how to handle everything from a single wardrobe to a fully furnished flat.
Professional Furniture Removal Service in Homerton
Our furniture removals service is designed to make moving heavy, awkward and valuable items as straightforward as possible. We use the right equipment, modern vehicles and trained staff who move furniture every day, not just at weekends.
Whether you are clearing a room, swapping tenants, moving a full house or relocating your business, we offer a calm, organised approach so your furniture arrives in the same condition it left.
Local Expertise in Homerton and East London
Working daily in Homerton means we understand local streets, parking restrictions, building layouts and typical property types – from Victorian terraces and council blocks to new-build apartments and commercial units.
This local knowledge lets us plan access, loading and parking in advance, helping to avoid delays, fines and damage. We liaise with you about keys, lifts, loading bays and time restrictions, keeping the move efficient and stress-free.
Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Moving between houses or putting furniture into storage? We can move full household contents or selected larger items such as beds, wardrobes, sofas, dining tables and appliances, protecting floors, bannisters and walls as we go.
Renters
If you're renting in Homerton and changing flats or houses, we offer flexible part-load and small move options. Ideal when you have your own furniture but not a large enough vehicle – and don’t want the hassle or risk of moving it yourself.
Landlords
We regularly assist landlords with furnished and part-furnished property changes, clearing out old pieces, moving items between properties, or delivering replacement furniture to new tenants, all with tidy, respectful working practices.
Businesses
For offices, studios, shops and clinics, we handle office desks and chairs, reception furniture, shelving, filing cabinets, meeting tables and more. We can work outside office hours where required to minimise disruption.
Students
Students in Homerton and nearby areas can rely on us for affordable, compact moves between halls, shared houses and storage. We move beds, desks, chairs and personal furniture quickly and safely, often in a single trip.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your move: addresses, access, dates and a list or photos of your furniture. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining what is included so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves or tricky access, we complete a short virtual or onsite survey. This helps us select the right van size, plan parking, assess staircases and lifts, and decide whether dismantling is required for certain items.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day, we protect your furniture using blankets, covers and straps. Where agreed, we can also provide packing services for smaller items, or dismantle/reassemble certain pieces such as bed frames and tables to ensure safe transport.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional team loads systematically, securing your furniture to minimise movement in transit. Vans are clean, well-maintained and equipped with dollies, trolleys and ramps to handle heavy or awkward items safely.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload and place furniture in the rooms you specify. We reassemble agreed items, check for any issues and only leave once you are satisfied with the layout and condition of your furniture.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume and type of furniture
- Distance between properties
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
- Number of movers required
- Any optional extras (packing, dismantling, disposal)
We offer fixed-price quotes for most moves so you know the cost in advance, rather than open-ended hourly charges. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional charges (for example, congestion charges or parking costs) are explained before you book.
Why Use Professional Removers Instead of DIY?
Moving furniture yourself or relying on a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, but often leads to damage, delays and disputes. As a fully insured, established removals company, we bring:
- Trained teams who understand safe lifting, wrapping and loading
- Proper tools – trolleys, straps, blankets, covers and ramps
- Planned routes and timings to keep the day on schedule
- Formal paperwork and clear terms, giving you protection if something goes wrong
In practice, professional removals often save time, prevent injury and reduce the risk of damage to your furniture, property and vehicle.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Man and Van Homerton operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your furniture while it is being moved
- Public liability cover for peace of mind in and around your property
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling a wide range of furniture types
We work to recognised industry standards, keep vehicles in good order and maintain accurate inventories where required. Our aim is to give you confidence from first contact to final placement of your furniture.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We know your furniture is important, whether it is brand-new, sentimental or simply practical. Our crews use padded blankets, mattress and sofa covers, corner protectors and floor runners where needed, and we always lift and carry with care.
Where possible, we re-use durable packing materials and plan routes efficiently to reduce fuel use. When clearing unwanted furniture, we try to divert items away from landfill by suggesting reuse, resale or responsible recycling options wherever feasible.
Real-World Furniture Removal Scenarios
Moving House
From studio flats to family homes, we handle complete furniture removals, often alongside boxes and personal items. We coordinate with your moving schedule, key collection and cleaners to keep everything running smoothly.
Office Relocations
For businesses in Homerton, we move desks, chairs, storage units and meeting room furniture, maintaining clear labelling so items arrive in the correct departments. We can also assist with internal moves within the same building.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Life is not always predictable. When you need same-day or very short-notice furniture removals, we do our best to accommodate, subject to availability. This is useful for last-minute tenancy changes, urgent clearances or unexpected property issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture removal in Homerton cost?
Costs depend on how much furniture you have, access at each property and the distance travelled. Smaller jobs, such as a few large items between nearby addresses, are usually priced as a short fixed-fee move. Larger house or office removals are quoted individually after we understand your list of items and any special requirements. We will always give you a clear written quote before you commit, with all expected charges explained so you can budget with confidence and avoid unexpected extras on moving day.
Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can often offer same-day or next-day furniture removals in and around Homerton. This depends on the size of the move, location and whether we can safely resource it at short notice. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible with details of what needs moving and your time window. We will be honest about what we can do, suggest alternatives where needed, and confirm any out-of-hours or emergency call-out rates in advance.
Are my items insured during the move?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved in our vehicles, subject to standard terms and reasonable care. We also carry public liability cover for incidents at the property. Insurance is there as a safety net, but our main focus is prevention: careful wrapping, secure loading and sensible planning. We will explain the key points of our cover before you book, and you are welcome to ask about any specific high-value or unusual items so we can advise appropriately.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading and unloading of your furniture, and placement in the rooms you choose. We use blankets and basic protective materials as standard, with extra covers for mattresses and upholstery where required. At your request, we can add services such as dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, packing of smaller items, disposal of unwanted pieces, or storage arrangements. All inclusions are listed clearly in your quote so you know exactly what you are paying for.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While we do offer a flexible van service, we operate as a professional removals company rather than a casual one-person operation. That means fully insured work, trained staff, proper tools, planned routes and written confirmation of what we will do for you. We focus on protecting your furniture and property, not just moving items from A to B as quickly as possible. For some very small jobs, a basic man-and-van might be sufficient, but for most household or office furniture moves, our structured, reliable approach offers far greater peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you want a specific date or time slot at busy periods such as month-end or weekends. This allows us to schedule the right team and vehicle, arrange any parking suspensions, and complete a survey if needed. However, we understand that plans can change quickly. If you have less notice, still get in touch – we will check availability and do our best to fit you in or suggest practical alternatives.
Piano Removals
Piano Removals Homerton – Specialist Piano Moving by Man and Van Homerton
Moving a piano is never just another job. It is heavy, delicate, awkwardly shaped and often highly sentimental. At Man and Van Homerton, we provide dedicated piano removals across Homerton and the surrounding areas, using the correct equipment, trained staff and carefully planned methods to move your instrument safely and efficiently.
Specialist Piano Removals in Homerton
Our piano moving service is designed for anyone who needs their instrument relocated with proper care and attention. We regularly move:
- Upright pianos (standard and overstrung)
- Baby grand and grand pianos
- Digital pianos and stage pianos
- Organs and rehearsal room instruments
Every move is handled by a trained team using piano skates, padded covers, straps and, where needed, stair climbers. We plan each route in advance, from tight hallways to basement practice rooms, ensuring your piano is fully protected from start to finish.
Local Piano Moving Expertise in Homerton
Working day-in, day-out in Homerton means we understand the local housing stock – from narrow terraced houses and high-rise flats to modern developments and studio spaces. We are used to:
- Limited parking and controlled parking zones
- Top-floor flats with or without lifts
- Shared entrances and tight communal stairwells
- Access time restrictions in some buildings
We liaise with building managers where required, time our arrival to suit loading bay slots and arrange appropriate vehicle sizes to suit Homerton’s streets. This local knowledge keeps disruption low and greatly reduces the risk of damage or delays.
Who Our Piano Removal Service Is For
Our specialist piano removals in Homerton are suitable for:
Homeowners
If you are moving house or reconfiguring rooms, we can relocate your piano between properties or simply to another floor, protecting floors, carpets and staircases as we go.
Renters
We regularly help tenants move pianos in and out of flats, ensuring communal areas are protected to avoid disputes with landlords or managing agents.
Landlords
For furnished and part-furnished lets, we can remove or reposition pianos between tenancies, or move instruments to storage while works are carried out.
Businesses
We support schools, music studios, event venues, churches and theatres with professional piano removals, from one-off moves to regular relocations for performances and rehearsals.
Students
Music students often need their instruments moved between home, halls and shared houses. We offer reliable, cost-effective moves scheduled around term dates, exams and recitals.
What Is Included in Our Piano Removal Service
Our standard piano removals typically include:
- Initial consultation and tailored quotation
- Advice on preparation and access
- Protective blankets, wraps and securing straps
- Use of piano trolleys, skids and other moving equipment
- Safe loading, transport and unloading by a trained team
- Placement of the piano in your chosen room and position
On request, we can also offer:
- Internal moves within the same property
- Multiple pianos moved in a single booking
- Coordination with storage facilities
What Is Not Included
To keep things transparent, the following are not normally included as standard in our piano removals:
- Tuning of the piano after the move
- Major dismantling or reassembly of grand pianos beyond standard parts (e.g. specialist technician work)
- Repair of existing damage or internal mechanical work
- Crane lifting or external hoists (can sometimes be arranged separately)
- Long-term storage (we can recommend local storage partners)
If you think any of these may be required, mention it when you contact us and we will advise on the best approach.
Our Step-by-Step Piano Removal Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with basic details: piano type, current location, destination, floor levels and any access issues. We provide a clear, no-obligation quotation based on the information you give us, outlining what is included and any optional extras.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For more complex moves – such as grand pianos, tight stairwells or unusual access – we may recommend a short virtual video survey or an onsite visit. This allows us to check measurements, doorways, steps and parking, so we can plan the correct team size, equipment and timings.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day, we protect surrounding areas and the instrument itself. We use heavy-duty covers, padding and floor protection where required. For grand pianos, we remove the legs and pedal lyre as appropriate and secure each part carefully for transport.
4. Loading & Transport
The piano is loaded using trolleys, skids and ramps, then securely strapped inside the vehicle to prevent movement during transit. Our vehicles are equipped for safe carriage of heavy and delicate items, and our drivers follow planned routes to minimise bumps and sudden braking.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we reverse the process just as carefully. The piano is brought into your chosen room, positioned where you want it and unwrapped. For grands, legs and pedals are refitted, and we check stability before we leave. We always recommend allowing the piano to settle before arranging tuning.
Transparent Piano Removal Pricing
Our pricing is based on a few key factors:
- Type and size of piano (upright, baby grand, grand)
- Number of floors and presence of stairs or lifts
- Access difficulty at both properties
- Distance between addresses
- Any special equipment or extra staff required
We provide clear, itemised quotes, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you book. There are no hidden fees – if access adds complexity, this will be explained upfront. For straightforward upright piano moves within Homerton, we can often provide a fixed price once we have the essential details.
Why Use Professional Piano Movers Instead of DIY
Attempting to move a piano yourself, or with a casual man-and-van service, can lead to damage to the instrument, injury to helpers or harm to your property. Professional piano removals offer:
- Trained teams who understand balance, weight distribution and safe lifting
- Correct equipment – skids, trolleys, straps and protective covers
- Proper planning of routes, turning angles and staircases
- Goods in transit insurance for peace of mind
- Less risk of personal injury or costly damage
In many cases, a professional move is more cost-effective than repairing accidental damage or replacing a damaged piano.
Insurance and Professional Standards
With Man and Van Homerton, your piano is handled under clear, robust protections:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your piano while it is in our vehicle
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property
- Trained, experienced staff – our teams are properly instructed in safe handling techniques
We operate to professional standards at all times: turning up when we say we will, working carefully and respectfully in your home or premises, and communicating clearly if we foresee any issues.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every piano as if it were our own. That means proper padding, careful manoeuvring and respect for both the instrument and your property. We use reusable blankets, durable straps and long-life protective materials to minimise waste. Route planning is carried out to reduce unnecessary mileage, and where possible we consolidate journeys to lower our environmental impact.
Real-World Piano Removal Use Cases
Moving House
When you are relocating, your piano is often one of the last items out and the first item in. We coordinate with your broader move, ensuring the piano is handled safely alongside your other possessions, or as a dedicated job if you prefer.
Office and Venue Relocations
Studios, schools, churches and performance venues rely on pianos for day-to-day activity and events. We can move your instruments between sites, onto stages or into temporary locations while refurbishments are carried out.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes a piano needs to be moved at short notice – a tenancy ending, a property sale completing or an event booking changing. Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or next-day piano removals in Homerton. Contact us as early as possible and we will do our best to accommodate your timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a piano removal in Homerton cost?
The cost of a piano removal depends mainly on the type of piano, access at both ends and the distance travelled. Upright pianos on ground-floor to ground-floor moves are usually at the lower end, while grands, stairs and complex access increase the price because more staff and specialist equipment are needed. Once we know the details, we will provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras. For simple local upright moves within Homerton, we can often give a fixed price as soon as you contact us.
Can you do same-day or urgent piano removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or short-notice piano removals in Homerton and nearby areas. Availability depends on team capacity, vehicle space and the complexity of the job. Urgent moves with stairs or large grands may require a little flexibility on timing, but we will always be honest about what is realistic. If you have a tight deadline, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details, and we will let you know quickly whether we can accommodate your move.
Is my piano insured during the move?
Yes. Your piano is covered under our goods in transit insurance while it is being transported in our vehicle. In addition, our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to third-party property, such as communal hallways or neighbouring fixtures. We always handle instruments with great care to avoid any issues, but it is important you know that formal protections are in place. If you have a particularly high-value or rare instrument, let us know so we can confirm the level of cover and discuss any additional steps if needed.
What exactly is included in your piano removal service?
Our standard service includes assessment of your requirements, careful protection of the piano, safe loading and unloading, and transport between the agreed addresses. We supply all necessary moving equipment and provide a trained team to handle the instrument throughout. Placement in your chosen room is included, and for grands we remove and refit legs and pedals as needed. Tuning, long-term storage and specialist restoration are not included, but we can point you towards reputable local professionals for those services if required.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While some general man-and-van services are happy to move pianos, they may not have the specific training, equipment or insurance needed for such heavy and delicate items. Our piano removals are carried out by trained teams using appropriate skids, trolleys and protective materials, and are covered by goods in transit and public liability insurance. We also carry out proper planning and, when necessary, surveys of access. This significantly reduces the risk of damage or injury compared to a casual, non-specialist service.
How far in advance should I book a piano removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific slot or are moving on a busy day, such as the end of the month. That said, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always keep some flexibility where possible. If you need a piano moved at shorter notice, contact us with full details and we will check our schedule to see what can be arranged.
House Removals

Professional House Removals You Can Rely On
We specialise in local and regional moves for flats, terraces and family homes across Homerton, Hackney and wider London. Every move is planned by an experienced removals professional, using the right vehicle size, protective materials and a trained team who handle your belongings with care.
Whether you are moving a studio flat two streets away or a full family home across London, we bring the same level of organisation, punctuality and attention to detail.

- Landlords needing properties cleared, part-cleared or refurnished between tenancies
- Businesses relocating small offices or live-work spaces into or out of Homerton
- Students moving into halls, shared houses or back home during holidays
We are used to tight stairwells, top-floor flats with no lift and controlled parking zones – all the everyday realities of moving in Homerton and East London.
What Our House Removals Service Includes
Items We Commonly Move
We can safely move most household and small office contents, including:
- Furniture: beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs, bookcases
- Appliances: washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected in advance)
- Boxes: clothing, books, kitchenware, personal items
- Electronics: TVs, computers, sound systems, gaming equipment
- Fragile items: mirrors, glassware, pictures, ornaments
- Outdoor items: garden furniture, tools, barbecues (clean and empty)
Items We Cannot Move
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we generally cannot carry:

- Illegal items or anything that breaches UK transport regulations
- Live animals (including pets and livestock)
- Perishable food for long-distance moves
- Large commercial machinery or industrial equipment
If you are unsure about a specific item, please mention it during your enquiry so we can advise or suggest alternatives.
Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
You contact us by phone or email with your moving dates, addresses and a brief description of your property. We will ask a few practical questions – number of rooms, access, floors, lifts and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included and any optional extras such as packing.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves or where access is tricky, we recommend a survey. This can be done by video call or a short onsite visit around Homerton and nearby areas. The survey allows us to assess volume, parking, staircases and any dismantling required, so we can allocate the right vehicle and team size. This reduces surprises on moving day and keeps your costs transparent.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer two levels of support:
- Packing service – Our team brings boxes, wrapping and tape, then carefully packs your belongings room by room.
- Self-packing – You pack in advance, and we can supply packing materials if required.
Bulky furniture is professionally dismantled where necessary (such as beds and wardrobes) and all items are protected with blankets, covers and shrink wrap as appropriate.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day we arrive on time, introduce the team and walk through the property with you. We then plan the loading sequence, starting with large furniture, followed by boxes and smaller items. Everything is secured in the vehicle to prevent movement during transit. Your belongings are transported directly to your new address using suitable, well-maintained vehicles, with goods in transit insurance in place.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property we unload items into the rooms you specify. Furniture is reassembled where agreed, and we position larger pieces so you can start using each room straight away. Before we leave, we ask you to walk round and check that everything has arrived and is where you need it.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Homerton
We price our moves fairly and transparently, based on:
- Property size and volume of belongings
- Distance between addresses
- Access issues (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking restrictions)
- Day and time (weekday, weekend, evenings)
- Optional services such as packing and dismantling/reassembly
For smaller moves we may offer a fixed price or a clear hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For larger homes, we usually provide a fixed, all-inclusive quote after a survey, so you know exactly what you will pay. There are no hidden charges, and any potential extras are explained in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:
- Fully insured for your belongings and public liability
- Trained teams who know how to lift safely and protect items
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and covers
- Efficient planning that reduces the risk of delays and extra trips
- Reduced risk of injury or damage to property
DIY moves often underestimate time, effort and vehicle size, leading to repeated journeys, fatigue and damage. A structured, professional service pays for itself in reduced stress and a smoother moving day.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man and Van Homerton operates to recognised industry standards and carries appropriate insurance for your protection:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for peace of mind in and around your properties
- Trained moving teams experienced in lifting, packing and handling fragile or awkward items
We keep clear records of each move, confirm arrangements in writing and follow agreed timescales. *If something unexpected happens, we deal with it openly and promptly.*
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your home and belongings as if they were our own. Floors and banisters are protected where needed, and furniture is wrapped to prevent scuffs and tears. Our teams take care not to disturb neighbours unnecessarily, especially in shared blocks around Homerton.
Where possible, we use reusable blankets, durable crates and recycled cardboard boxes. We aim to minimise waste and avoid unnecessary journeys by planning efficient routes and vehicle loads, contributing to more sustainable moving practices.
Real-World Use Cases
- Moving house – Full 1–4+ bedroom moves across Homerton, Hackney, London and beyond, including packing, loading and placement.
- Office relocation – Small business and studio moves, including desks, chairs, IT equipment and archive boxes.
- Urgent moves – Short-notice removals for last-minute tenancy changes, emergency relocations or chain-related date changes, subject to availability.
Whatever your situation, we tailor the level of service to your budget, timeframe and the complexity of the move.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Homerton cost?
The cost depends on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, distance travelled and any additional services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis with a minimum booking, while larger family homes are usually quoted as a fixed price after a survey. To keep things transparent, we detail what is included in writing before you book, so there are no surprises on the day. Contact us with a brief outline of your move for a tailored quotation.
Can you do same-day or urgent house removals?
We can often accommodate short-notice or urgent moves in Homerton, particularly for smaller properties or partial moves. Availability will depend on existing bookings and crew capacity, so it is always best to call us as soon as you know your dates. Where we can help, we will give you a clear estimate and outline exactly what is achievable within the time available. For larger or more complex moves, advance booking is strongly recommended to secure your preferred slot.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, and public liability cover for work in and around your properties. This is designed to give you peace of mind should anything unexpected occur. We will explain the key terms and any limits when you book. For particularly high-value items, please tell us in advance so we can confirm cover details or discuss any additional arrangements if required.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard service includes loading all agreed items from your property, protecting furniture with blankets or covers, transporting them to your new address and unloading into the rooms you specify. We can also dismantle and reassemble basic furniture where agreed in advance. Optional extras include a full or partial packing service, supply of packing materials and clearance of unwanted items by arrangement. Every booking is confirmed in writing so you know exactly what is included for the price quoted.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A professional removals service offers more structure, protection and accountability than a casual man-and-van. You receive a written quote, clearly defined services, insured transport and a trained team who handle planning, lifting and protection of your belongings. We bring the right equipment, assess access in advance and allocate sufficient staff to complete the move efficiently. While basic man-and-van options can appear cheaper, they often lack formal insurance, planning and support if something goes wrong, increasing your overall risk.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Ideally, you should book your house removal 2–4 weeks in advance, particularly if you are moving on a Friday, at month end or during peak summer periods. Early booking gives you a better choice of times and allows us to plan surveys, parking arrangements and any packing services. That said, we understand that dates can change unexpectedly, especially when chains are involved, so we always try to be flexible where possible. If your move is short-notice, contact us and we will advise on current availability.
Man with Van
Man with Van Homerton
At Man and Van Homerton, our man with van service is designed for fast, safe and well-organised moves across Homerton and the surrounding East London areas. Run by experienced local movers, we combine the flexibility of a traditional man-and-van with the standards of a professional, fully insured removals company.
Professional Man with Van Service in Homerton
Our service bridges the gap between a casual man-and-van and a full-scale removal. You get a dedicated vehicle, one or more trained movers, protective equipment and organised planning, without paying for a large removals crew you may not need.
We handle anything from a single bulky item to a full flat or small house move, always focusing on protection, punctuality and clear communication. Whether you are moving within E9 or across London, we tailor the service to your schedule and access needs.
Local Expertise in Homerton and East London
Being based in Homerton means we know the local streets, estates and parking rules inside out. This local knowledge helps us plan realistic timings, avoid problem routes and manage loading safely on busy or narrow roads.
We regularly work in Homerton, Hackney, Clapton, Victoria Park, Dalston and surrounding areas, so we understand typical building layouts: converted victorian terraces, new-build apartments, estates with limited parking and properties with no lift access. That experience allows us to arrive prepared with the right team size, equipment and time allowance.
Who Our Man with Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal for smaller house moves, downsizing, or moving larger items into storage. We can move full contents of 1–2 bedroom homes or do multiple runs for larger households if needed.
Renters
Perfect for studio and flat moves in and out of Homerton. We can manage tight stairwells, lift bookings and timed access, and we work carefully to avoid marks or damage to walls and communal areas.
Landlords
We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, part-moves, furniture swaps and delivery of new furnishings. We handle items carefully to protect your investment and the property.
Businesses
Our man with van option suits small office relocations, internal moves, events, and deliveries of office furniture or equipment. We can work outside standard hours to minimise disruption.
Students
For students moving to or from Homerton, our service offers an affordable, straightforward way to shift belongings between halls, flats, and family homes. We are happy to combine pick-ups from storage or multiple addresses where practical.

- Appliances: washing machines, fridges, freezers (disconnected and drained)
- Boxes, bags, and plastic crates
- Office furniture and IT equipment (suitably packed)
- Student belongings and personal effects
- Garage and shed items, tools and small garden furniture
Items Typically Excluded
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, we normally cannot transport:

- Illegal items or waste requiring specialist disposal
- Unsecured jewellery, cash or high-value personal documents
- Livestock or pets
- Industrial machinery beyond standard power tools
If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask and we will advise or suggest alternatives.
Our Step-by-Step Man with Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your move: addresses, property type, list or photos of items, dates and any time constraints. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the hourly or fixed rate, number of movers and estimated duration.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most man-with-van bookings, a detailed phone or video survey is enough. For more complex moves (awkward access, long carries, or large volumes), we may recommend a brief onsite survey. This helps us avoid surprises on the day and select suitable vehicle size and team.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service at additional cost. We also supply packing materials if required. Before move day, we advise on:
- Disassembling flat-pack furniture
- Defrosting and draining appliances
- Labelling boxes by room
- Setting aside essentials to travel with you
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the property with you and agrees a loading plan. We use blankets, straps and trolleys to protect and secure your items. Everything is loaded systematically to minimise movement in transit. We then transport your goods directly to the new address using safe, planned routes.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it and stacking boxes sensibly. We can reassemble basic items we dismantled, subject to prior agreement. Before leaving, we do a final check with you to ensure nothing has been missed.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear pricing with no hidden extras. Depending on your needs, we can offer:
- Hourly rates for smaller moves and flexible jobs
- Fixed prices for clearly defined moves with stable inventories
Our quote will explain what is included: number of movers, vehicle size, mileage allowance and any surcharges (for example, congestion or parking charges if applicable). If the scope changes significantly on the day, we discuss options with you before proceeding so you stay in control of costs.
Why Choose a Professional Man with Van Over DIY
Hiring a professional man with van in Homerton gives you more than just a vehicle. You benefit from:
- Experienced movers who know how to handle heavy or fragile items safely
- Proper moving equipment and protective materials
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Reliable timing and planning, rather than relying on friends or last-minute rentals
- Reduced risk of injury or damage to your property
DIY moves or casual, unvetted drivers may appear cheaper, but often lead to extra trips, delays, damage or stress. A professional service keeps your move organised and accountable.
Insurance and Professional Standards
At Man and Van Homerton, we operate to the standards you would expect from a dedicated removals company:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover for peace of mind when we are working in or around your property
- Trained, vetted and experienced movers who follow safe lifting and handling practices
We explain our cover clearly before you book and can outline any limits or exclusions relevant to your move, so you understand exactly how your items are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your belongings and your property are treated with care from start to finish. We use padded blankets, straps and floor protection where appropriate, and we load in a way that reduces the risk of movement and impact damage.
We are also mindful of sustainability: reusing durable packing materials where appropriate, disposing of waste responsibly and planning routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage. When we carry out clearances, we aim to donate or recycle suitable items before considering disposal.
Common Real-World Uses for Our Man with Van in Homerton
Moving Home
From studios to small family homes, we regularly help people move in and out of Homerton. Our flexible service works well for chain moves, keys-at-midday situations and split loads to storage.
Office and Business Moves
We move desks, chairs, filing cabinets, stock and IT equipment for small businesses, clinics, studios and shops. Out-of-hours or weekend moves are available by arrangement to minimise downtime.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
When plans change suddenly – a tenancy ending, a last-minute completion, or a courier letting you down – our man with van team can often help at short notice. If we have availability, we will mobilise quickly and keep you informed of arrival times throughout.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with van in Homerton cost?
Costs depend on the volume of items, distance travelled, access conditions and how many movers you need. Smaller local moves are often charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while larger or more defined moves can be priced as a fixed quote. When you contact us, we will ask a few focused questions and may request photos or a list of items. From there, we provide a clear price breakdown so you know exactly what to budget for.
Can you offer same-day or urgent man with van in Homerton?
Yes, we can often provide same-day or short-notice moves, especially within Homerton and nearby areas. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the scale of your job. For urgent moves, calling us is usually best so we can quickly check van and team availability, discuss access and give you a realistic arrival window. Where we cannot fit you in ourselves, we will say so honestly rather than over-promising or rushing the work.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes, our vehicles are covered by goods in transit insurance, and we hold public liability cover for work in and around your property. This provides protection if your items are accidentally damaged while under our care in transit. There are some standard exclusions and limits, particularly for high-value or delicate items, which we will explain before you confirm your booking. You are always welcome to ask for clarification or provide a list of especially valuable belongings so we can advise properly.
What is included in your man with van service?
Our standard service includes the vehicle, a professional driver-mover, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We supply moving blankets and securing straps as needed. Additional movers, packing services, packing materials, furniture assembly and disassembly can be added on request. Our quotation will set out precisely what is included so there is no confusion on the day. Parking costs, congestion charges or tolls may be added where applicable, but we will always explain these in advance.
How is a professional service different from a casual man-and-van?
A professional service like ours provides trained staff, suitable equipment, insurance cover and structured planning. We take full inventories where needed, agree arrival times, and follow a clear loading and protection process. Casual operators may not be insured, may lack moving experience and may not have the correct equipment, which can lead to delays or damage. With us, you know who is turning up, in what vehicle, and exactly how your possessions will be handled from start to finish.
How far in advance should I book?
For planned moves, booking one to two weeks ahead is ideal, especially for weekends or month-end dates, which are typically busier. This gives us time to schedule surveys if needed, reserve the right vehicle and team, and advise you on preparation. That said, we do our best to accommodate short-notice bookings where our diary allows. Even if your dates are not yet fixed, contacting us early means we can pencil you in and offer guidance on timings and logistics.

Moving as a student should be straightforward and affordable, not stressful. At Man and Van Homerton, we provide dedicated student removals in Homerton and across East London, tailored to term-time moves, house shares, and budget-conscious relocations. Our team is fully insured, highly experienced, and used to working around tight student schedules and tricky London properties.
Specialist Student Removals in Homerton
Our Student Removals Homerton service is designed around the realities of student life – small flats, shared houses, limited budgets, and tight move-in and move-out deadlines set by universities and landlords.
We regularly move students to and from:
- Homerton student halls and university accommodation
- Shared houses and flatshares in Homerton and nearby areas
- Private rentals and studio flats

Our core focus is on students moving into or out of Homerton. Ideal if you:
- Are starting university and moving into halls for the first time
- Are changing accommodation between academic years
- Need belongings moved to storage over the summer
- Are relocating for a placement, internship, or study abroad
Homeowners & Renters
Parents often book on behalf of their children, particularly for first-year moves. We also help local homeowners and renters in Homerton with small-part removals when a student is moving in or out of the family home.
Landlords
Homerton landlords use our service to clear rooms between tenancies, move furniture between properties, or assist student tenants who need to vacate quickly and responsibly.
Businesses
We support local businesses with student-related moves, such as offices relocating interns, educational providers moving teaching materials, and co-living operators setting up or refreshing rooms.
What We Move for Student Removals
Items Typically Included
For student moves, we regularly transport:
- Suitcases, bags, and boxes of clothes and personal items
- Laptops, gaming consoles, small electronics, TVs, and speakers
- Desks, chairs, bookcases, and flat-pack furniture
- Mattresses and bed frames (assembled or disassembled)
- Kitchenware, pots, pans, and small appliances (microwaves, kettles, etc.)
- Books, folders, and study materials
- Bicycles and sports equipment
Items We Cannot or Do Not Move
To keep everyone safe and to comply with insurance and transport rules, we do not move:
- Hazardous or flammable materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals)

- Live animals or pets
- Large commercial machinery or industrial equipment
If you’re unsure whether something can be moved, just ask and we’ll advise.
Our Step-by-Step Student Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email, or online form with your move details – dates, addresses, what needs moving, and any access information (stairs, lifts, parking). We’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote, based on your actual requirements, so you know exactly what to budget.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most student moves, a quick virtual survey (photos, video call, or item list) is sufficient. For larger flat moves, we can attend in person in Homerton to assess access, parking, and volume. This helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures we send the right size vehicle and team.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide packing materials and assistance for an additional fee. We recommend:
- Using sturdy boxes for books and heavy items
- Wrapping fragile items individually
- Clearly labelling boxes by room and contents
Our team will bring blankets, straps, and protective materials to safeguard your belongings and property.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained removals team arrives on time, confirms the inventory with you, and plans the loading order. We carefully carry items, protect walls and doorways where needed, and secure everything in the vehicle. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new address or storage unit, using efficient routes around Homerton and the wider London area.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify – bedroom, living space, kitchen, or storage area. We can reassemble simple furniture by prior arrangement. Before leaving, we’ll check everything is accounted for and placed where you want it, so you can start settling in straight away.
Transparent Pricing for Student Removals in Homerton
We know students and parents need clear, predictable costs. Our pricing is based on:
- Volume of items (number of boxes, furniture, and size of the move)
- Travel distance between addresses
- Access (stairs only, long carries, restricted parking)
- Any extra services (packing, dismantling/reassembly, storage)
We can offer fixed-price moves for straightforward student jobs, or hourly rates for flexible, smaller jobs. There are no hidden extras: any parking fees or congestion charges are explained in advance. You’ll receive a written confirmation of the price and what it covers before you book.
Why Choose Professional Student Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional student removals service in Homerton offers clear advantages over doing it yourself or relying on a casual man-with-a-van:
- Safety & protection – proper lifting, securing, and protection for your belongings and property.
- Reliability – confirmed booking times and written agreements, not last-minute cancellations.
- Insurance cover – your goods are protected by our policies, which informal operators often lack.
- Experience – we know student buildings, tight staircases, and Homerton’s parking rules.
- Time-saving – we handle the heavy work so you can focus on enrolment, exams, or travel.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man and Van Homerton operates to high professional standards for every move, however small.
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved.
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties.
- Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting practices and proven packing and loading methods.
We treat each student move with the same care and seriousness as a full house removal, ensuring you receive a service you can trust.
Care, Protection & Sustainability
We work carefully and responsibly on every student move:
- Use of clean, well-maintained vehicles with protective blankets and securing straps
- Floor and wall protection on request for vulnerable areas
- Re-use of strong, good-quality packing materials where appropriate
- Efficient route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions
- Advice on reusing or donating unwanted items rather than sending them to landfill
Our goal is to get you moved safely and efficiently while keeping waste and disruption to a minimum.
Real-World Student Removal Use Cases
Moving Into First-Year Halls
We regularly help first-year students and their families move into Homerton student accommodation. We manage the parking, carry the heavy items, and quickly set up your room so you can meet flatmates and attend welcome events without worrying about the van.
House Share Moves Between Academic Years
Many students switch from halls to shared houses in Homerton and surrounding areas. We move your belongings from one address to another, coordinate with housemates if needed, and can complete multiple pick-ups on the same run by agreement.
Summer Storage Moves
If you’re going home for the summer or on placement, we can collect your belongings from halls or a rented room, deliver them to a local storage unit, and then bring everything back when the new term starts.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Sometimes a tenancy ends unexpectedly or plans change. Subject to availability, we can provide short-notice or same-day student removals in Homerton, helping you vacate on time and avoid landlord penalties.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do student removals in Homerton cost?
Student removal costs depend mainly on how much you have, the distance between properties, and access at each address. Smaller moves, such as a room in halls with a few boxes and a couple of larger items, are usually very affordable and can often be priced as a fixed fee. Larger flat moves may be charged hourly. Once you tell us what needs moving and where from and to, we’ll provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you do same-day or urgent student moves?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent student moves in Homerton, especially outside the busiest peak weekends. Availability will depend on our schedule and the size of your move. If you need to vacate a room quickly or plans have changed at short notice, contact us as soon as possible with your details. We’ll let you know what times we can offer, any constraints, and the likely cost before you commit to a booking.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved and handled by our team. We also carry public liability cover for added peace of mind. This is one of the key advantages of using a reputable removals company rather than an informal service. We’ll explain any limits or exclusions relevant to your move before the job, and you’re always welcome to ask for clarification on how the cover applies to your specific items.
What’s included in a typical student removals service?
A standard student removal includes a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, loading at your current address, safe transport, and unloading into your new room or property. We supply moving blankets and securing straps as standard. Optional extras include packing materials, packing assistance, and dismantling or reassembling simple furniture, which can be added for an agreed fee. Before you book, we’ll confirm exactly what is included, so there are no surprises on the day and you can plan around our service.
What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?
While we do provide a flexible man-and-van style service, our operation is run as a professional removals company. That means trained staff, proper insurance, written confirmations, and structured procedures for packing, loading, and transport. Many casual man-and-van operators do not have formal insurance or predictable standards. With Man and Van Homerton, you get reliability, accountability, and care for your belongings, which is especially important when you’re moving valuable items such as laptops, course materials, and personal possessions.
How far in advance should I book my student removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, particularly around the start and end of terms, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. Peak weekends can fill quickly as many students in Homerton move at the same time. However, we understand that plans can change, and we’ll always try to accommodate last-minute requests where possible. Even if your dates are not yet fixed, it’s worth getting in touch early so we can advise on options and provisional availability.

Unlike casual man-and-van operators, we work to clear processes and standards, with goods in transit insurance and public liability cover in place on every move.
Local Expertise in Homerton and East London
Based in Homerton, we know the local streets, estates and parking restrictions extremely well. This local knowledge is crucial for same-day moves where time is tight.
- Experience with Homerton estates, converted flats and Victorian terraces
- Familiar with loading challenges, narrow staircases and limited lift access
- Understanding of controlled parking zones and best loading spots
Because we are genuinely local, we can often react faster than national companies and plan realistic routes that avoid unnecessary delays.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if your completion date changes at the last minute or another mover cancels. We can often step in with short notice to move the contents of a house or flat safely and efficiently.
Renters
Perfect if your landlord has changed move-out dates or you need to leave a property quickly. We help protect your deposit by carefully removing furniture and leaving the property clear of your belongings.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We assist with urgent clearances when tenants leave unexpectedly, or when you need the property turned around quickly for new occupants. We can remove furniture and belongings for storage, disposal or onward delivery.
Businesses
Suitable for small offices, shops and studios needing quick relocation, short-notice clearance, or emergency moves due to lease changes, maintenance issues or building works.
Students
Handy for last-minute student moves into or out of Homerton accommodation, including shared houses, halls and private rentals. We are used to moving in and out of busy term-time locations.
What We Can Move on a Same Day Removal
Included Items
Our Same day Removals service typically covers:
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- White goods – washing machines, fridges, freezers (subject to safe access)
- Boxes, bags and suitcases
- Office furniture – desks, filing cabinets, shelving, chairs
- Electronics – TVs, computers, printers, audio equipment

Excluded or Restricted Items
To keep everyone safe and insured, we normally cannot move:
- Hazardous materials – gas bottles, fuel, chemicals, paint thinners
- Illegal goods of any kind
- Large commercial machinery outside our vehicle capacity
- Animals or live plants in poor condition
- Loose cash, jewellery or high-value personal documents (these should travel with you)
If you have unusual or specialist items (pianos, safes, artworks), please mention this during the enquiry so we can confirm whether we can accommodate them on a same-day basis.
Our Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Call us or send an online enquiry explaining that you need Same day Removals in Homerton. We will check same-day availability, discuss what needs moving, and ask key questions about access, floors, and any heavy or fragile items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate.
2. Brief Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For same-day jobs, we usually carry out a short virtual survey via photos or video call. For larger properties, we may send someone out if time allows. The aim is to understand volume, access, and any special requirements so we allocate the right team size, vehicle and equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
For urgent moves, most customers already have belongings in boxes or bags. However, we can provide limited packing assistance on the day if agreed in advance. Our team brings blankets, straps and basic protection for furniture and fragile items. If you are packing yourself, we will give you simple guidance to help keep everything safe in transit.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained movers load the van systematically, using protective blankets and securing items with straps to reduce movement in transit. We work efficiently but carefully, mindful of both your belongings and the property. Once loaded, we travel directly to your new address or storage facility using sensible, time-effective routes.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload into the rooms you indicate, placing larger items where you want them. We can reassemble simple furniture where agreed in advance. Before leaving, we invite you to check that everything has been delivered and placed to your satisfaction.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
We believe urgent service should not mean unclear pricing. Our same-day removal costs are based on:
- Size of vehicle and number of professional movers required
- Estimated hours, including loading, travel and unloading
- Distance between addresses
- Any additional services (packing help, furniture assembly, disposal)
Because same-day work can be more complex, rates may be slightly higher than standard pre-booked moves. However, you will always receive a clear price structure before we start, with no hidden extras added at the end without discussion.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
When time is short, attempting a DIY move can quickly become stressful and risk damage or injury. Choosing a professional team like Man and Van Homerton offers several advantages:
- Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and protect items properly
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Reduced risk of damage to furniture, electronics and properties
- Faster, more organised loading and unloading
- Fully insured service, unlike most informal arrangements
This is particularly important in flats with shared stairwells, narrow corridors or strict building management rules, which are common around Homerton.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Every move we undertake is backed by appropriate insurance and working standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are in our care and on our vehicles (within agreed limits)
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property or injury caused by our work
- Trained moving teams – staff briefed in manual handling, safe loading and customer care
We treat your belongings as if they were our own and operate with clear, accountable procedures even when jobs are booked at very short notice.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Urgent moves still deserve careful handling. We:
- Use padded blankets and wraps for furniture and fragile items
- Secure loads to minimise movement in transit
- Work cautiously around walls, doors and flooring in both properties
We also aim to work in a more sustainable way by:
- Using reusable protective materials where possible
- Planning efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Offering advice on reuse or recycling of unwanted items
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Emergency House Move in Homerton
Completion dates sometimes change with little warning. We regularly assist Homerton homeowners who must be out on the day of completion but have been let down by another mover. Our team can step in, pack remaining items, load and move you into your new property or storage on the same day where capacity allows.
Last-Minute Flat Move for Renters
Renters often face tight deadlines. We help tenants move from Homerton flats to new accommodation within hours of booking, managing stairs, lifts and parking while keeping neighbours and building management in mind.
Urgent Office or Studio Relocation
For small businesses and studios, unexpected building issues or lease changes can create immediate pressure. Our Same day Removals service helps you relocate essential equipment, furniture and files quickly so you can resume trading with minimal downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Homerton cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of the move, the number of movers required, and the distance between addresses. Same-day work can carry a premium because we have to reorganise schedules and allocate staff quickly. Smaller local moves may be charged by the hour, while larger house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed job. Once we know what needs moving and the access details, we will give you a clear price with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you always offer same-day or urgent availability?
Availability for Same day Removals depends on our schedule, vehicle capacity and staff on that particular day. During quieter periods we can often help within a few hours, while at very busy times we may only be able to provide partial support or next-day options. It is always worth calling, even at short notice, as cancellations and route changes can free up space. The more detail you can give us at the initial enquiry, the quicker we can confirm whether a same-day slot is realistic.
Are my belongings insured during a same-day move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved and transported by us, up to agreed policy limits. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property or injury caused by our work. Insurance is not a substitute for good handling, so our team focuses on careful packing, securing and lifting. We will explain any limitations, such as high-value single items or pre-existing damage, before starting the job.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard same-day service includes a suitable vehicle, one or more professional movers, loading, safe transport and unloading into your new property or storage. We bring blankets and securing straps as standard. Light disassembly and reassembly of furniture can be included if agreed in advance. Packing materials and full packing services are available on request but may be limited by the time available on the day, so it helps if you can pack most items beforehand where possible.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van often offers transport only, usually without formal training, insurance or clear processes. A professional removals service like ours provides trained teams, appropriate insurance, protective equipment and structured planning, even for same-day work. We assess access, volume and any special items before committing, so we arrive prepared with the right people and vehicle. This reduces the risk of breakages, property damage or delays, which can be costly and stressful, especially when you are already working to tight deadlines.
How far in advance should I book, and can I still try on the day?
For peace of mind, booking at least a few days in advance is ideal, especially for larger moves or weekends. However, we understand that urgent situations arise, so we keep some flexibility in our schedule. If you need Same day Removals, contact us as early in the day as possible. Morning enquiries are more likely to be accommodated than late-afternoon calls. Even if we cannot move everything immediately, we may be able to offer partial help or a very early slot the following day.

Our Step-by-Step Man and a Van Process
1. Enquiry & quote
You contact us with details of your move: addresses, dates, property sizes, access notes and a rough inventory. We use this to recommend the right van size, number of movers and time estimate. You then receive a clear, no-obligation quote.
2. Survey (virtual or onsite)
For anything more than a simple single-item job, we may arrange a short video call or an onsite survey in Homerton or nearby. This helps us confirm access, parking, staircases and lift use, and check larger furniture dimensions to avoid surprises on the day.
3. Packing & preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or we can provide professional packing as an additional service. Either way, we advise on sturdy boxes, labelling and protecting fragile items. On the moving day we bring blankets, straps and tools for basic disassembly and reassembly where agreed.
4. Loading & transport
Our trained team arrives on time, walks through the job with you and then loads the van carefully, using blankets, covers and proper stacking techniques. We secure everything in place before setting off, and choose the safest, most efficient route.
5. Unloading & placement
At your destination we unload and place items in the rooms you specify, helping with reassembly of agreed items such as bed frames. Before we leave, we check that you are happy with the placement and that nothing has been missed from the van.
Transparent Pricing – How Our Man and a Van Costs Work
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Depending on the nature of your move, we offer either:
- Hourly rates – best for smaller, flexible moves within Homerton and nearby areas
- Fixed quotes – ideal for full flat/house moves or longer distances
Your price is based on:
- Van size required
- Number of movers (1, 2 or more)
- Estimated moving time or distance
- Any additional services (packing, materials, disassembly)
Parking fees, congestion/ULEZ charges or tolls are clearly explained in advance where applicable. You will always know what you are paying for before you book.
Why Choose Professional Movers Over DIY
Hiring a casual man-with-a-van or doing it yourself can look cheaper on paper, but often costs more in time, stress and damage. With Man and Van Homerton you get:
- Fully insured cover for your belongings while in our care
- Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
- Suitable vehicles with the right equipment, blankets and straps
- Proper planning for access, parking and building rules
- Reduced risk of injury to you, friends or colleagues
A professional service means fewer breakages, less disruption and a move that finishes when it is meant to – not hours later than planned.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate as a professional removals business, not a casual side-line. To protect you and your belongings we maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover – in case of accidental damage to property or injury
- Trained moving teams – staff briefed in safe handling and customer care
We follow sensible procedures for lifting, stacking and securing loads, and we keep our vehicles well-maintained and clean. If something does go wrong, you are properly protected and we deal with it transparently.
Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability
We treat your possessions as if they were our own. Each van carries padded blankets, furniture covers, straps and basic tools to ensure items are protected and moved safely. Fragile pieces are positioned carefully and never left loose.
Where possible, we work in a more sustainable way by:
- Reusing strong boxes and packing materials where appropriate
- Encouraging clients to recycle or donate unwanted items

Real-World Uses for Our Man and a Van in Homerton
Moving house or flat
From studio apartments near Homerton station to terraced houses and maisonettes, we manage move days around keys, inventories and check-out inspections, keeping things as calm and orderly as possible.
Office and business relocations
We help small businesses move between offices, co-working spaces and storage units. Desks, chairs, files and IT equipment are loaded methodically so that you can get back up and running quickly.
Urgent, last-minute and same-day moves
Life is unpredictable – tenancy dates change, purchases complete suddenly and plans fall through. When we have availability, we can provide same-day or short-notice man and a van services in Homerton and across East London. The more detail you can give us at the time of booking, the better we can help.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and a van in Homerton cost?
Costs depend on the size of the van, the number of movers, the distance and how long the job is likely to take. For small local moves we often charge an hourly rate with a minimum hire period. Larger flat or house moves are usually priced as a fixed quote so you know the total cost in advance. Parking charges, congestion or ULEZ fees are discussed clearly before you confirm. Contact us with a brief description of your move and we will provide a clear, no-obligation estimate.
Can you do same-day or urgent man and a van bookings?
Yes, we can often handle same-day or urgent moves in Homerton, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Short-notice work is more likely to be possible on weekdays and outside peak times. If you need an urgent move, call or message with full details of addresses, access, approximate inventory and your time window. We will let you know quickly whether we can help and provide a realistic timeframe and cost so you can make a decision.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. Insurance operates within defined limits and assumes items are properly packed and ready to move. We will explain the key terms when quoting, including any exclusions or high-value item limits. If you have particularly valuable pieces, let us know in advance so we can advise on the best way to protect them.
What is included in your man and a van service?
Our standard service includes the van, one or more trained movers, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We bring blankets, straps and basic tools for agreed disassembly and reassembly. We will place items in the rooms you specify, not just leave everything by the door. Optional extras include packing services, provision of boxes and materials, and additional labour if you prefer not to lift anything yourself. All inclusions and any extra costs are set out clearly in your quote before you book.
What is the difference between removals and a man and a van?
A full removals service is typically suited to larger house or office moves and can include detailed planning, full packing, specialist materials and larger teams of movers. A man and a van service is more flexible and cost-effective for smaller jobs, single items or compact flats. With Man and Van Homerton, our man and a van still operates to professional standards with insurance and trained staff – it is simply a scaled-down, more agile version of a full removals service.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekends, month-end and peak moving periods, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks ahead to secure your preferred time slot, especially for larger moves. For smaller local jobs, a few days’ notice is often enough, and we can sometimes accommodate next-day or same-day requests. As soon as you know your likely moving date, it is wise to contact us so we can pencil you in. We remain as flexible as possible if completion dates or tenancy times change.

Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact Man and Van Homerton by phone, email or online form. We’ll ask for key details: flat size, number of rooms, addresses, access information, preferred dates, and any specific requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what’s included so you know exactly where you stand.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we’ll arrange a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to see staircases, lifts, parking restrictions and the volume of items. A proper survey helps us allocate the right size van, the right number of movers, and enough time to complete your flat removal safely and efficiently.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer a full packing service or a part-packing service, depending on your needs. We use quality boxes and protective materials, and we label items clearly by room. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply packing materials and give practical guidance on how to pack fragile and heavy items correctly.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our professional team arrives promptly, protects floors and common areas where needed, and systematically loads your belongings. Large items are wrapped and secured with blankets, straps and protective covers. We then transport everything in modern, well-maintained vans, covered by goods in transit insurance for your peace of mind.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new flat, we unload carefully and place furniture and boxes in the rooms you specify. We can reassemble basic furniture we’ve dismantled (beds, wardrobes etc.) and make sure you have essential items accessible before we leave. We check you’re happy with the placement before the job is signed off.
Transparent Pricing for Flat Removals
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of items and size of property
- Distance between addresses
- Access conditions (stairs only, long carries, restricted parking)
- Size of team required and estimated time
- Optional services such as packing and materials
You’ll receive a clear breakdown so you know what you’re paying for. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional costs (for example, congestion charge or extended waiting time) are explained in advance.
Why Choose Professional Flat Removals Over DIY
Flat removals often involve tight staircases, heavy lifting and awkward angles. Attempting to move everything yourself or with casual help can lead to damage to the building, injuries, or broken belongings. Using a professional removals company means:
- Experienced handling of bulky furniture in confined spaces
- Proper equipment – dollies, straps, covers and protective materials
- Time-saving organisation and a clear plan for move day
- Fully insured service in case something goes wrong
A basic man-with-a-van who is not a specialist may not offer adequate insurance, trained staff or careful planning. We combine the flexibility of a man-and-van with the standards of a quality removals company.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Homerton operates to recognised industry standards. Your belongings and property are protected by:
- Goods in transit insurance for your items while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property or injury
- Trained, background-checked movers who follow safe lifting and handling practices
We keep our vehicles well maintained and carry the equipment needed to protect your belongings properly. Our aim is always to complete your move without incident, but it’s reassuring to know you are fully insured throughout.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every flat move as if it were our own home. That means careful handling, respect for neighbours and shared areas, and attention to detail. We use high-quality protective materials and secure loading techniques to minimise risk.
We are also committed to working more sustainably. Wherever possible, we:
- Reuse sturdy boxes and protective materials
- Recycle packing materials at the end of a move
- Plan efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
This approach reduces waste and helps keep costs reasonable while still maintaining a high level of protection for your belongings.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving to a New Home
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or moving in with a partner, we manage the whole process so you can focus on settling into your new place. We can coordinate timings with estate agents or letting agents and work to fixed keys collection times.
Office or Workspace Relocation from a Flat
If you run a business from your flat, we move your equipment, stock and files securely and discretely. We can schedule your move outside normal hours to minimise disruption to your work and your neighbours.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Occasionally, flat moves need to happen quickly – a tenancy ending suddenly, a last-minute completion date, or personal circumstances. Subject to availability, we offer same-day and next-day flat removals in Homerton. We work with you to prioritise essential items and complete the move safely but efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a flat removal in Homerton cost?
The cost of a flat removal depends on the size of your property, the volume of items, access conditions and the distance between addresses. Smaller studio or one-bedroom moves may be charged on a half-day or hourly basis, while larger flats are usually priced as a fixed job after a survey. Optional services such as packing, materials and storage will also affect the final price. Once we’ve assessed your move, we’ll provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what to budget for.
Can you do same-day or urgent flat moves?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice flat removals in Homerton, depending on existing bookings. If you need to move urgently, contact us as early as possible with your details. We’ll check van and crew availability, discuss what absolutely must be moved, and create a realistic plan for the day. While urgent moves can be more demanding, we still work safely and carefully, and we’ll always be upfront about what can be achieved in the available time.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved between properties, and we also carry public liability cover. This provides protection in the unlikely event of damage or injury connected with the move. We’ll explain the main points of our cover when you book, including any limits or exclusions. For particularly high-value items, we may suggest additional cover or that you notify your own insurer to ensure you are fully protected from end to end.
What’s included in your flat removals service?
Our standard flat removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture and boxed belongings between addresses. We protect items with blankets, straps and covers, and we place everything in the rooms you request at your new flat. You can add services such as full packing, part-packing, dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture, and supply of packing materials. We’ll confirm exactly what is included in your quote so you can see what we are responsible for and what you will need to handle yourself.
What’s the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?
While we offer the flexibility of a man-and-van, we operate as a professional removals company. This means trained staff, proper insurance, planned move schedules and appropriate equipment. A casual man-and-van may only provide transport and some lifting help, with limited or no insurance and little planning. We carry out surveys where needed, advise on packing and access, and take responsibility for protecting your belongings and the property. In short, you get a more reliable, structured service designed specifically for flat removals.
How far in advance should I book my flat removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your flat removal at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you’re moving at the end of the month or on a Friday or weekend. However, we understand that move dates can change, particularly with property purchases, so we try to be as flexible as possible. If you have a provisional date, it’s worth getting in touch early so we can pencil you in and advise on availability, even if your plans are not yet final.
