Local Hackney Removals Experts
Based in Hackney, we work daily in areas such as Dalston, Stoke Newington, Homerton, Clapton, London Fields and Hackney Wick. Our drivers and crews know the local streets, traffic patterns, parking restrictions and building layouts, which is vital when time is tight.
Because we are local, we can often allocate a crew and vehicle at short notice, arrange permits where needed, and choose routes that avoid delays, keeping your urgent move on schedule.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Our same day removals service in Hackney is designed for:
- Homeowners – last-minute completion dates, chain changes or urgent completion moves.
- Renters – unexpected notice, landlord issues, or quick moves between flats.
- Landlords – clearing properties after tenants leave, urgent removals between lets.
- Businesses – emergency office relocations, time-sensitive equipment moves, shop clearances.
- Students – fast moves in and out of halls or rented rooms, often with limited notice.
Whether it’s a studio flat, a family home, or a small office, we tailor the crew size, vehicle and schedule to your situation.

Items We Cannot Move or Move Only by Prior Agreement
For safety, legality and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need special arrangements:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal or stolen goods
- Live animals (including pets and livestock)
- High-value items such as fine art, jewellery or large safes without prior declaration
- Industrial machinery or specialist equipment not discussed in advance
- Very large or built-in items requiring contractors (e.g. some range cookers)
If you are unsure about a particular item, please mention it during your enquiry so we can advise and confirm whether we can safely move it on the day.
Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Call us as early as possible in the day. We will ask a few key questions: property access, number of rooms, main items, and where you are moving to in or from Hackney. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate and confirm whether same-day capacity is available.
2. Fast Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For urgent moves, we usually carry out a rapid virtual survey via video call or photos. For larger properties where time allows, we may send a surveyor. The survey lets us allocate the right vehicle, crew size and materials so the job runs smoothly and without delays.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer flexible options for same day removals:
- Full or partial packing service – our team can bring boxes and packing materials to pack your belongings on the day.
- Owner-packed – if you already have items boxed, we focus on protection and loading.
We use furniture blankets, mattress covers, shrink-wrap and other protective materials to help prevent damage during transit.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained crews dismantle basic furniture where required (beds, simple wardrobes), protect items, and load systematically. We plan the loading order so essentials you need first are accessible at the other end. Your belongings are transported in our clean, equipped vehicles directly to your new address, using the quickest practical route.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload, place furniture in the rooms you choose and position boxes as directed. Where we have dismantled items, we reassemble basic pieces so you are able to settle in quickly. Before we leave, we invite you to walk through the property to confirm everything is where it should be.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals in Hackney
Same-day work requires careful scheduling and, at times, extended hours, but our pricing remains clear and competitive. We typically price based on:
- Size of property and volume of belongings
- Distance between addresses
- Number of movers required
- Any packing service or materials supplied
- Access issues, stairs, or long carries
You will always receive a clear breakdown before we confirm the booking. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (e.g. late-night finishes, congestion or parking fees) are explained in advance wherever they can be anticipated.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
Urgent moves can be stressful. Attempting to manage everything yourself or relying on a casual man-and-van at short notice often leads to delays, damage and extra cost. With Hackney Movers you benefit from:
- Professional planning and coordination, even under time pressure
- Trained teams who know how to handle furniture, stairs and tight doorways safely
- Proper protective equipment and tools to reduce the risk of damage
- Reliable timing and communication throughout the day
- Comprehensive cover that informal operators rarely provide
This means fewer last-minute surprises and a smoother experience, even when the move itself is short notice.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Hackney Movers is:
- Fully insured with goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are being moved.
- Covered by public liability insurance for work in and around your property.
- Staffed by trained, uniformed moving teams who follow established handling and safety procedures.
Full terms and limits of cover are available on request, and we are happy to discuss any particular concerns or high-value items before confirming your booking.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even when time is tight, we focus on care and responsibility:
- Use of blankets, wraps and covers for furniture and mattresses
- Safe lifting practices to minimise risk of accidents and damage
- Re-use of quality packing materials where appropriate to reduce waste
- Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions
- Responsible disposal of unwanted items, using licensed recycling and waste facilities where requested
Our aim is to complete your same day removals efficiently while treating your belongings and the local environment with respect.
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Moving House at Short Notice
Completion brought forward or a chain suddenly unblocked? We regularly help Hackney homeowners and renters relocate on the same day, from small flats to multi-bedroom homes, coordinating closely with agents and other parties.
Urgent Office Relocations
When a lease ends unexpectedly or office space becomes unavailable, our teams can move desks, IT and files quickly and systematically so your business can resume operations with minimal downtime.
Evictions, Clearances and End-of-Tenancy Moves
We assist landlords and tenants with urgent clearances, ensuring items are removed promptly and handled appropriately, with options for storage or disposal where needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Hackney cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of the move, distance, access and how much help you need with packing. Same-day jobs can sometimes be slightly higher than pre-booked moves because we have to reorganise schedules and may need additional staff or extended hours. We typically base our price on an hourly rate for the crew and vehicle, with a minimum charge, plus any agreed packing materials. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear, itemised quote before you commit.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
Availability depends on how busy we are and the size of your move. For smaller flats or partial moves, we can often help the same day if you contact us early. Larger house or office moves may be possible, but we need to check vehicle and crew capacity and the time needed to complete the job safely. If we cannot fit you in at very short notice, we will always be honest and suggest the earliest realistic alternative, or discuss splitting the move over more than one visit.
Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?
Yes. Your items are covered under our standard goods in transit insurance while we are handling and transporting them, subject to policy terms and exclusions. We also hold public liability cover for work at your property. Same-day moves do not reduce your level of protection, but we do ask you to highlight any particularly fragile or high-value items in advance so we can confirm cover and handle them with additional care. Full details of our insurance arrangements are available on request before you book.
What exactly is included in your same day removals service?
Our service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional crew, standard protective materials and the safe loading, transport and unloading of your belongings between properties. If agreed in advance, we can also provide packing services, dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture, and supply of boxes and packing materials. What is not included as standard are specialist services like disconnection of appliances, disposal of waste or moving prohibited items. We clarify everything in writing so you know precisely what to expect on the day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a casual man-and-van can be suitable for very small, flexible jobs, our removals service offers a higher, more reliable standard. You get a professional, trained team, structured planning, proper protective equipment and fully insured transport. We survey your job in advance, confirm timings, and allocate the right size of crew and vehicle. This reduces the risk of delays, overloaded vans, damage or last-minute cancellations, which can be particularly disruptive when you are moving at short notice.
How far in advance do I need to book a same day removal?
For same-day work, the earlier you call, the better. If you contact us first thing in the morning, we have a much better chance of arranging a suitable slot that day, especially for smaller moves within Hackney. For larger properties or longer distances, we may suggest a next-day or staged approach if that is safer and more realistic. Whenever you get in touch, we will give you an honest assessment of what can be done and work with you to find the most practical solution.
