At Man with Van Custom House, we specialise in same day removals in Custom House and the surrounding East London areas, providing a responsive service that is still carefully planned, fully protected, and professionally managed.

What Our Same day Removals Service Includes

Our same day removals service is designed to get you moved safely and efficiently at short notice. Whether you are leaving a property urgently, collecting items you have just purchased, or bringing forward a planned move, we provide:

• Emergency home removals – flats, houses, HMOs and shared accommodation
• Urgent office and business moves – small offices, shops, storage units
• Student moves – halls, shared houses and last-minute relocations
• Single item and part-load moves – sofas, wardrobes, appliances, bulky purchases
• Collection and delivery – auctions, Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree and store collections

Every move is carried out by a trained, local team using clean, well-maintained vehicles, proper lifting equipment and protective materials.

Local Expertise in Custom House and East London

Based in Custom House, we know the local streets, estates and developments extremely well – from older terraced roads to new-build apartment blocks around Royal Docks and ExCeL. This local knowledge means we can:

• Plan the quickest routes to avoid congestion and roadworks
• Handle tight access, height restrictions and loading bays
• Work around controlled parking zones and time limits
• Coordinate with building management where required

Because we are close by, we can often reach you within hours, depending on availability, and adapt to short-notice changes in your plans.

Who Our Same day Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If your completion date has moved forward, a sale has suddenly gone through, or you need to vacate quickly, we provide a structured, same day move that protects your belongings and your property.

Renters

Facing an unexpected notice, landlord issues or a last-minute change of tenancy? We help renters move fast while minimising stress, damage and the risk of losing or leaving belongings behind.

Landlords & Letting Agents

For urgent clearances, end-of-tenancy moves, or removing abandoned items, we offer short-notice support so you can turn properties around quickly and professionally.

Businesses

From small offices to shop units and workspaces, we handle same day commercial moves, stock transfers and equipment relocations, keeping downtime to a minimum.

Students

Whether your term dates have changed, you’ve left moving too late, or you need to switch accommodation suddenly, our same day student removals keep things simple, affordable and flexible.

Our Same day Removals Process – Step by Step

1. Enquiry & Quick Quote

Contact us by phone or online with your pick-up and delivery addresses, a brief list of items, any access issues and your timescale. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote and realistic time estimate based on same-day availability.

2. Rapid Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most same day moves we complete a virtual survey by phone, video call or photos. For larger or more complex moves in Custom House or nearby, we may send someone out if time allows. This ensures we send the right size vehicle, the right number of movers and the correct equipment.

3. Packing & Preparation

Where possible, you should have items boxed and ready. If you need help, we can provide basic packing assistance on the day – dismantling simple furniture, protecting large items with blankets and covers, and securing drawers and doors. We use mattress bags, TV covers and other protective materials where required.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained, professional team loads your belongings carefully, using trolleys and handling equipment for heavier items. Furniture is protected and secured inside the vehicle to minimise movement in transit. We then transport your goods directly to the new address, using routes we know work well for vans in and around Custom House.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing larger items where you want them so you can settle in faster. We can reassemble basic furniture that we dismantled for transport and will always check with you before we leave that everything is in the right place and in good condition.

Transparent Pricing for Same day Removals

Same day removals in Custom House are priced fairly, based on:

• Size of vehicle and number of movers needed
• Time required for loading, travel and unloading
• Distance between properties
• Access, stairs, lifts and any unusual items
• Time of day and notice period

We will explain your quote clearly, including any minimum charges, congestion or parking costs where applicable. There are no hidden extras – if the scope of the job changes, we will discuss costs with you before continuing.

Why Choose Professional Same day Removals Over DIY

It can be tempting to hire a casual van or rely on friends, especially at short notice. In practice, this often leads to delays, damage and unnecessary stress. With Man with Van Custom House you benefit from:

• Experienced, trained movers who know how to handle heavy and fragile items
• Fully insured vehicles and operations
• The right equipment and protective materials for safe loading
• Accurate time estimates so you can plan around keys, landlords and work
• A single point of contact who takes responsibility for the whole move

Professional removals reduce the risk of injury, protect your belongings and usually save time and money overall, especially when things are already rushed.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We operate to clear, professional standards to protect both you and your belongings:

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are in our vehicle, subject to terms and packing quality
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property during the move
• Trained moving teams – manual handling, safe loading and customer-care training as standard

We will explain our coverage at the booking stage so you know exactly what is and is not included, and how you can further protect high-value items if needed.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even on urgent, same day moves, we never rush at the expense of care. We use blankets, straps, floor protection and covers to safeguard both your belongings and the properties we are working in. Where possible, we:

• Use reusable protective materials instead of single-use plastics
• Plan routes to minimise unnecessary mileage and fuel use
• Reuse and recycle boxes and packaging where practical

Our goal is to provide a fast response without compromising on safety, respect for your possessions or our environmental responsibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do same day removals in Custom House cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of the move, distance, access and how many movers and vehicles are required. Same day work can be slightly higher than pre-booked moves because we are reorganising schedules and staff at short notice. We usually price by the hour with a minimum charge, plus any additional fees such as congestion or parking where applicable. Once we understand what needs moving, we will give you a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you will pay before you commit.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate same day moves in Custom House, but availability depends on how busy we are and the size of the job. Smaller flat or student moves are usually easier to fit in than full house or large office relocations. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better chance we have of arranging a slot. If same day is not realistically possible, we will offer the earliest available time and explain your options honestly rather than overpromising.

Are my belongings insured during a same day move?

Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle, subject to our terms and reasonable packing. We also carry public liability insurance, which covers accidental damage to property during the move. We will explain the key points of our cover when you book, including any limits or exclusions. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional specialist cover or specific packing requirements to ensure they are fully protected.

What is included in your same day removals service?

Our service includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained removals team, standard protective materials, loading, secure transport and unloading into your new property. We can also dismantle and reassemble basic furniture and provide light packing help where agreed in advance. Parking fees, congestion charges and any specialist services, such as hoists or additional packing, are charged separately if needed. We will always clarify what is and is not included in your quote so there are no surprises on the day.

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

While we do provide flexible van-based removals, we operate as a professional, fully insured removals company rather than a casual man-and-van. That means trained staff, proper insurance, planned routes, written quotes and clear communication. We assess the job in advance to send appropriate vehicles and team members, bring the right equipment and take responsibility from start to finish. This significantly reduces the risk of delays, damage or last-minute cancellations that are more common with informal operators.

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

For genuine same day moves, contact us as early in the morning as you can. Our schedule fills quickly, and the more notice we have, the easier it is to organise the right team and vehicle. If you know a move might be needed but are waiting on confirmations, let us know – we can often hold a provisional slot or suggest the most realistic time window. For planned moves, booking at least a few days ahead will usually give you more flexibility on timing and price.
