Every move is planned to suit your furniture, your building access and your timescales, with the right vehicle, equipment and number of movers allocated in advance.
Local Furniture Removals Experts in Redbridge
Working day in, day out across Redbridge gives us genuine local knowledge. We know the busy routes, controlled parking zones and typical access issues found in local streets, estates and business parks. That means we can plan realistic timings, secure parking where possible and choose vehicles that are appropriate for your road and property.
Our local experience helps reduce delays, avoid damage in tight stairwells or lifts and keep your move running smoothly from start to finish.
Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving within Redbridge or to another part of the UK, we can move your entire household furniture or selected items only. We regularly help with upsizing, downsizing and moving furniture into storage during renovations.
Renters
We assist tenants moving between flats or houses, including upper floors and properties with limited access. From bed frames and wardrobes to white goods and sofas, we make moving day less stressful and more organised.
Landlords
For landlords and letting agents, we offer flexible furnished property furniture removals – clearing out old items, installing new furniture packages or removing individual damaged pieces between tenancies.
Businesses
We support small and medium businesses with office furniture removals and internal reshuffles. Desks, chairs, filing cabinets, cupboards and reception furniture can be moved, dismantled and reassembled with minimal disruption to your operations.
Students
Students moving in or out of Redbridge accommodation can benefit from a streamlined service tailored to smaller loads, often including a bed, wardrobe, desk, chair, drawers and a few boxes. It is an affordable alternative to struggling with public transport or relying on friends.
Items We Typically Move
We move most domestic and commercial furniture, including:
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Desks, office chairs, cupboards and filing cabinets
- Bookshelves, TV units and display cabinets
- Freestanding kitchen appliances (fridges, freezers, washing machines, etc.)
Items We Cannot Move or Move Only by Prior Arrangement
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, certain items are excluded or restricted. These typically include:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or substances
- Large pianos, safes and specialist machinery (can be arranged via specialist partners)
- Live animals or plants in bulk quantities
- High-value jewellery, cash or sensitive documents (best transported personally)
If you are unsure about a particular item, let us know during the enquiry stage so we can advise or make special arrangements where possible.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Man and Van Redbridge by phone or online with a brief description of your move: addresses, property type, floors, parking situation and a list of furniture items. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining what is included and any optional extras so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to check access, staircases, lifts, door widths and the volume and type of furniture. A proper survey ensures we send the right team size, vehicle and equipment, reducing the risk of delays or issues on moving day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack your own smaller items or ask us to help. We offer professional packing for fragile or awkward items and can dismantle certain furniture where necessary. Our team uses high-quality furniture blankets, covers, shrink wrap and securing straps to protect surfaces and structure.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained movers arrive on time, walk through the plan with you and begin carefully loading. Heavy and large pieces are lifted safely by at least two team members, using trolleys, sliders and ramps where needed. Everything is secured in the vehicle to minimise movement in transit and we take the most suitable route based on local traffic and access.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property or destination, we unload items in the rooms you specify and place furniture where you want it, subject to access. Where agreed, we can reassemble furniture that was dismantled by us. Before leaving, we complete a quick check with you to confirm that everything has arrived and is in the right place.
Transparent Furniture Removals Pricing
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing for furniture removals in Redbridge. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume and type of furniture
- Travel distance and number of addresses
- Property access (stairs, lifts, long walks, parking restrictions)
- Number of movers required
- Optional extras (packing, dismantling/reassembly, out-of-hours work)
You will receive a clear breakdown with no hidden charges. If circumstances change (for example, extra items added), we discuss any price adjustments in advance so you remain in control of costs.
Why Choose Professional Furniture Removals Instead of DIY
Moving furniture yourself or relying on a casual van can seem cheaper, but it often carries hidden risks and costs. With Man and Van Redbridge you benefit from:
- Trained movers who know how to lift and carry safely, protecting both your items and themselves
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and protectors to prevent damage
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for added peace of mind
- Reliable vehicles maintained for removals work, not just general use
- Planned timings that reduce the risk of overruns and last-minute problems
DIY moves often result in damaged furniture, strained backs, damaged walls or unexpected hire charges. A professional removals service helps you avoid these issues and keeps your move organised from start to finish.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We operate to clear professional standards to protect you and your belongings:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your furniture while it is being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties
- Trained moving teams – staff are experienced in safe lifting, wrapping, loading and stacking
- Clear paperwork and job confirmations so you know exactly what has been agreed
We are happy to explain our cover in plain language and provide evidence of insurance on request, so you can book with confidence.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your furniture and the environment are both important to us. Our approach includes:
- Using reusable furniture blankets, straps and covers to reduce single-use materials
- Choosing routes and scheduling to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Maintaining our vehicles for fuel efficiency and reliability
- Reusing and recycling packing materials where possible
We take care to avoid scuffs, scratches and structural stress on furniture by planning the lift and route in and out of each property. When dismantling is required, fixings are kept secure and reassembly is carried out methodically.
Common Real-World Use Cases
Moving House Within or From Redbridge
Complete furniture removals for local moves or longer-distance relocations, including temporary storage runs if you need to stagger your move due to renovation work or completion dates.
Office and Commercial Relocations
We help businesses move or reconfigure their premises, often outside core working hours to minimise downtime. Furniture is labelled and positioned according to your floor plan so staff can get back to work quickly.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves come up unexpectedly – changes of tenancy, urgent clearances or last-minute purchases. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day furniture removals in Redbridge, still carried out to the same professional standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Redbridge cost?
Prices depend on the volume and type of furniture, distance between addresses, access conditions and the number of movers required. Smaller jobs, such as a few items or a studio flat, will naturally cost less than a fully furnished house or office relocation. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear, written quote with no hidden charges. If you send us photos or a list of items, we can often give an accurate estimate quickly and refine it after a short survey where needed.
Can you provide same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Subject to availability, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day furniture removals in Redbridge. This is particularly useful for urgent landlord requests, last-minute purchases, end-of-tenancy moves or situations where earlier plans have fallen through. The more information you can provide when you contact us, the faster we can confirm whether we can help and give you a price. For peak days and weekends, we recommend calling as early as possible, as short-notice slots can book up quickly.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your furniture while it is being transported in our vehicles, as well as public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. Like any policy, there are terms, limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain in plain language before you book. We always handle your items carefully to avoid issues in the first place, but it is reassuring to know that proper insurance is in place should the unexpected happen.
What exactly is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes supplying a suitable vehicle, a trained team of movers, loading, safe transport and unloading your furniture into the rooms you specify. We also provide protective blankets, straps and basic floor protection for high-traffic areas. Optional extras include packing of fragile items, dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, out-of-hours moves and additional stops, such as storage facilities. Everything that is included will be clearly listed on your quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While some man-and-van services are fine for light jobs, our approach is a structured, professional removals service. We use experienced, trained staff, appropriate equipment and properly maintained vehicles. Your items are covered by goods in transit insurance and we carry public liability cover. We also carry out surveys for larger moves, provide written confirmations and follow a clear process from enquiry to completion. This greatly reduces risk, improves reliability and gives you a much smoother overall experience.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For larger house or office moves, we recommend booking 2–3 weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time. This gives us enough time to complete any survey, organise parking and plan the team. For smaller jobs or single items, we can often help at shorter notice, sometimes even the same day. If your dates are not fixed yet, you can still contact us for an indicative quote and provisional booking, which we will confirm once your plans are finalised.
Student Removals
Student Removals in Redbridge by Man and Van Redbridge
Starting university, changing accommodation, or heading home for the summer? Man and Van Redbridge provides a dedicated student removals service in Redbridge designed around tight budgets, shared houses and busy academic schedules. As an experienced local removals company, we make student moves straightforward, safe and predictable.
What Our Student Removals Service Includes
Our student removals in Redbridge focus on moving smaller loads efficiently while still giving you the same care and protection as a full home move. Whether you are moving from halls to a house share, changing universities or storing items between terms, we tailor the service to your needs.
Typical items we move for students
- Boxes of clothes, books and study materials
- Laptops, PCs, monitors and small electronics
- Desks, chairs and small bookcases
- Beds, mattresses and wardrobes (flat-pack or assembled)
- Kitchen items – microwaves, kettles, pans and utensils
- TVs, games consoles and sound systems
- Suitcases, sports equipment and musical instruments
Items we cannot carry
For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded from our student removals service:
- Hazardous or illegal items (e.g. gas bottles, flammables, weapons)
- Open containers of liquids or chemicals
- Unboxed loose food or perishable goods
- Pets or live animals
- Industrial machinery or excessively heavy items beyond safe lifting limits
If you are unsure about any item, we will advise you clearly before moving day.
Local Expertise in Redbridge
Based in Redbridge, we know the local roads, estates, halls of residence and typical student accommodation inside out. That means we plan around:
- Bus lanes and school traffic at peak times
- Parking restrictions on residential streets
- Access issues in older buildings and tower blocks
- Key collection and inventory checks for student lets
Our local knowledge reduces delays and makes your moving day smoother, especially if you are arriving in Redbridge for the first time.
Who Our Student Removals Service Is For
Although this service is tailored for students, it is also ideal for a range of clients moving smaller loads in and around Redbridge:
- Homeowners downsizing or sending children to university
- Renters in studios, flat shares or short-term lets
- Landlords needing fast clearances between tenancies
- Businesses supplying or relocating student accommodation furniture
- Students moving to or from Redbridge, or between term-time and home addresses
Our Step-by-Step Student Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: addresses, dates, floor levels and an idea of what you are moving. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually on the same day. For straightforward student moves, we often quote based on your item list and travel distance.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most student removals, a quick virtual survey via photos or video call is sufficient. This helps us confirm vehicle size, access and any special handling needs. For larger shared houses or furnished student properties, we can visit in person in Redbridge to assess everything properly.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or we can provide a packing service at an agreed additional cost. We supply quality boxes, tape and wrapping materials, and we always recommend dismantling flat-pack furniture in advance where possible. Our team will label and protect fragile items to minimise risk during transit.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects walls, doors and bannisters where needed, and carefully loads your items using blankets, straps and trolleys. Your belongings are transported in clean, well-maintained vehicles under full goods in transit insurance cover.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just onto the pavement. We can reassemble basic furniture if previously agreed, and we will not leave until you are satisfied that everything has been placed where you want it.
Transparent Student Removals Pricing
We understand students work to tight budgets, so our pricing is clear and straightforward. Costs are typically based on:
- Volume or number of items
- Travel distance between addresses
- Access (stairs, lifts, parking restrictions)
- Number of movers required
- Any optional extras such as packing materials or furniture assembly
We give a written quote before you book, explaining exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges for fuel or stairs, and any potential extra costs (such as waiting time if keys are delayed) are explained in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company for a student move in Redbridge often costs less than you think, especially compared with hiring a van for the day. More importantly, you benefit from:
- Professional handling of fragile and heavy items
- Fully insured transport, unlike casual lifts from friends
- Trained movers who know how to protect properties and belongings
- No stress about driving a large vehicle in unfamiliar areas
- Faster loading and unloading, freeing your time for everything else
DIY or casual man-and-van arrangements can seem cheaper, but often lack proper insurance, equipment and accountability if things go wrong.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Redbridge operates to the same standards for student moves as for full house removals. We are:
- Fully insured with goods in transit cover for your belongings
- Protected by public liability insurance for work in your property
- Staffed by trained moving teams experienced with student accommodation
We handle your possessions as if they were our own, using appropriate lifting techniques, protective materials and secure loading methods. You will receive clear terms and conditions so you know exactly how your items are covered.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Every student move, no matter how small, is carried out with care. We use clean removal blankets, floor protection where needed and secure strapping in our vehicles. Fragile items are wrapped and clearly labelled, and furniture is protected to reduce the risk of scuffs or marks.
We also take a practical approach to sustainability:
- Reusing strong double-walled boxes where safe and appropriate
- Recycling packaging materials whenever possible
- Planning routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage
This keeps costs manageable for students while reducing environmental impact.
Real-World Student Removal Scenarios
Moving into First-Year Halls
If you are arriving in Redbridge with your parents or on your own, we can collect from your home address, bring everything to your halls and carry it up to your room. This avoids multiple car trips and the stress of finding parking on busy move-in days.
Changing from Halls to a House Share
When moving between student properties, timings can be tight and keys may only be available for a limited window. We are used to working around check-in and check-out times, inventories and landlord inspections, keeping your move on track.
End-of-Term and Summer Moves
At the end of term, you may be heading home or into temporary storage. We can take your belongings directly to your family address or to a storage unit, helping you pack efficiently so you do not pay for more storage space than you need.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
If a tenancy ends unexpectedly, or plans change at short notice, our flexible team can often provide same-day or next-day student removals in Redbridge, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a student removal in Redbridge cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much you are moving, the distance between addresses and access at each property. A small student move within Redbridge is usually much cheaper than a full house removal and is often priced as a part-load or hourly rate. Once you tell us what you have – boxes, furniture, electronics – we will give you a clear, itemised quote with no hidden charges. Sharing the move with housemates going to the same area can also reduce costs per person.
Can you do same-day or urgent student moves?
Yes, we can often handle same-day or urgent student removals in Redbridge, particularly outside peak moving weekends. If your plans change suddenly, contact us as early in the day as possible with your locations, load size and preferred timing. We will check vehicle and crew availability and give you a realistic arrival window. While we cannot guarantee every last-minute request, our local base and flexible scheduling mean we can usually find a practical solution.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work in and around your property. This provides protection against loss or damage resulting from our negligence. We will explain the key terms, including any limits or exclusions, before you book. For particularly high-value items, we may ask for details in advance so we can confirm suitable cover or recommend additional protection if required.
What exactly is included in your student removals service?
Our standard service covers loading, safe transport and unloading of your belongings between the agreed addresses. We provide vehicles, professional movers, protective blankets and basic furniture protection. At the new property, we place items in the rooms you choose. Optional extras, such as packing materials, full packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture or additional drop-off points, can be added at an agreed cost. Everything included – and any extras – will be clearly listed in your written quote before you book.
How is a professional removals service different from a casual man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may simply provide a driver and space in a vehicle, often without formal training, insurance or clear terms. By contrast, we operate as a professional removals company: fully insured, using trained staff, proper equipment and planned loading methods. We protect your belongings and the properties we work in, keep to agreed times as closely as possible, and provide written quotes and receipts. This gives you far more reliability and protection than an informal arrangement, especially important when moving valuable study equipment.
How far in advance should I book my student move?
For peak times such as the start and end of academic terms, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. Outside these busy periods, a week’s notice is often sufficient, and we can sometimes accommodate moves with just a few days’ notice. The more notice you give us, the easier it is to plan around your timetable, exams and tenancy dates, and to offer you the most cost-effective options.
Flat Removals
Flat Removals Redbridge – Man and Van Redbridge
At Man and Van Redbridge, we provide straightforward, reliable flat removals across Redbridge and the surrounding areas. Whether you are on the top floor of a mansion block or moving between studio flats, we plan every detail so your move is completed safely, on time and with minimum disruption.
Specialist Flat Removals in Redbridge
Flat moves come with their own challenges: stairs, lifts, tight corridors, parking restrictions and building rules. Our local team is used to working in Redbridge estates, conversions and new-build developments, so we know how to navigate loading bays, residents’ car parks and controlled parking zones efficiently.
We coordinate with building management where needed, protect communal areas and ensure your belongings are handled by trained, professional movers from start to finish.
Who Our Flat Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you own a flat in Redbridge and are upsizing, downsizing or completing a sale, we provide carefully planned removals that fit around completion times, key handovers and managing agents’ requirements.
Renters
We regularly help tenants move between rented flats, including end-of-tenancy moves with strict check-out deadlines. We can work around inventory inspections and ensure all furniture and boxes are removed cleanly and on time.
Landlords
For landlords, we offer flat clearances, part-moves and furniture swaps between properties. We can remove unwanted items, relocate furnishings between lets and prepare flats for new tenants.
Businesses
We assist small businesses, remote workers and self-employed professionals moving between live–work flats or serviced apartments. Files, IT equipment and stock are packed and moved securely and efficiently.
Students
Students in and around Redbridge benefit from our small flat moves and single-room removals. Ideal if you’re moving between halls, flat-shares or back home, with options for short-distance and long-distance moves.
What’s Included in Our Flat Removals
Items We Commonly Move
Our team moves most household and flat contents, including:
- Sofas, armchairs, beds, wardrobes and chest of drawers
- Dining tables, desks and office furniture
- Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other white goods
- TVs, computers and home entertainment systems
- Clothing, books, kitchenware and personal belongings

Professional Protection and Packing
Every move includes furniture protection as standard. We use transit blankets, trolleys and straps to safeguard your items and the building. Optional packing services and materials are available if you prefer us to pack your contents for you.
Items We Cannot Move
For safety and insurance reasons, there are some items we cannot transport, including:
- Flammable or hazardous materials (e.g. gas bottles, fuel, solvents)
- Illegal goods or items of uncertain ownership
- Live animals (including pets and livestock)
- Unsealed perishable food for longer journeys
- Large commercial machinery outside normal domestic use
If you’re unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.
Our Flat Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Man and Van Redbridge by phone or online with your basic details: addresses, property type, key dates and a rough idea of what needs moving. We respond promptly with guidance and, where possible, a provisional estimate. Our quotes are clear and easy to understand, with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
To give an accurate price and plan the job properly, we carry out a short survey. This can be a video call, photos or an in-person visit for larger or more complex moves. We assess access (stairs, lifts, parking), volume of items and any special requirements such as dismantling furniture or handling fragile goods.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full packing service – our team packs everything for you using professional materials.
- Part packing – we pack fragile or awkward items; you handle the rest.
- Owner-packed – you pack your own boxes; we advise on best practice.
We label boxes clearly to ensure straightforward unloading and placement in your new flat.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day we arrive on time with the right size vehicle and team. We protect doors, floors and communal areas where needed, and load your belongings methodically to minimise risk of damage. All items are secured in the vehicle for safe transport, and our work is covered by goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new flat, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. Larger items can be reassembled on request, and we position furniture where you want it so you can settle in more quickly. Before leaving, we check that everything has been delivered and placed as agreed.
Transparent Pricing for Flat Removals
We aim to keep our pricing straightforward and fair. Your quote is based on:
- Size of the move (volume of furniture and boxes)
- Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
- Travel distance between addresses
- Number of movers required
- Any additional services (packing, dismantling, disposal)
You will receive a written quotation outlining exactly what is included. If anything changes before the move (extra items, new dates, access issues), we update the plan and costs with your agreement. We do not add surprise charges on the day.
Why Choose Professional Flat Removals Over DIY
Moving yourself or using an untrained, casual driver can seem cheaper, but often ends up costing more in time, stress and damage. Our professional team brings:
- Experience with tricky stairwells, lifts and parking in Redbridge
- Proper equipment – trolleys, straps, protective covers
- Fully insured vehicles and handling
- Efficient loading and unloading that saves hours of work
We reduce the risk of injuries, damaged furniture and last-minute problems with access or timing. Many clients tell us they wish they had booked professionals the first time they moved.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man and Van Redbridge operates to clear, professional standards so you know your belongings are in safe hands.
Goods in Transit Insurance
Your items are covered by goods in transit insurance while they are on our vehicle, subject to our terms and conditions. This provides financial protection in the unlikely event of loss or damage during the move.
Public Liability Cover
We carry public liability insurance, giving peace of mind to you, your neighbours and building management. This is particularly important in flats, where communal areas and shared entrances must be protected.
Trained Moving Teams
Our staff are trained in safe lifting techniques, packing methods and customer care. We do not use casual, uninsured labour. Many of our movers have years of experience with flat and apartment removals in Redbridge and across London.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move as if it were our own home. Furniture is wrapped and secured, fragile items are carefully padded and stacked, and we plan routes to protect both your possessions and the building.
Where possible, we use reusable crates, durable moving blankets and recyclable packing materials. We also consolidate journeys to reduce unnecessary mileage. If you have items to dispose of, we can arrange responsible recycling or licensed waste transfer on request.
Real-World Flat Removal Scenarios
Moving Between Flats in Redbridge
Many of our customers are moving within the local area – for example, from a studio in a converted house to a larger flat in a new development. We plan these short-distance moves so that you’re out of one property and into the next with minimal downtime.
Office-from-Home and Live–Work Moves
For those running a business from their flat, we handle home office removals, including desks, IT equipment and files. We can prioritise essential work items so your business is disrupted as little as possible.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Sometimes circumstances change quickly – an unexpected tenancy end, a last-minute completion, or a need to vacate sooner than planned. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or short-notice flat removals in Redbridge, with honest advice on what’s achievable in the time available.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a flat removal in Redbridge cost?
The cost of a flat removal depends on the size of your property, the volume of items, access at each address and the distance travelled. Smaller studio or one-bedroom moves may be completed on a half-day rate, while larger two- and three-bedroom flats usually require a full day and a larger team. Additional services such as packing, dismantling or disposal are priced separately. After a short survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you will pay before you book.
Can you handle same-day or urgent flat moves?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent flat removals in Redbridge, particularly for smaller moves. Availability depends on our existing schedule, the size of the job and travel distances. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as early as possible with full details so we can advise honestly on what’s realistic. Where we cannot fit you in immediately, we will offer the nearest suitable slot and suggest ways to prioritise essential items.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your possessions are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are on our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also hold public liability cover, which protects against damage to third-party property, such as communal areas in blocks of flats. Insurance is there as a safety net; our first priority is preventing damage in the first place through careful packing, handling and secure loading. We’re happy to explain our cover in more detail and answer any specific questions before you book.
What’s included in your flat removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture and boxes between addresses, with basic protection using blankets and securing straps. We place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle or reassemble standard furniture by prior arrangement. Optional extras include full or part packing services, supply of packing materials, furniture protection wrapping and disposal of unwanted items. Your written quote will clearly list what is included so you can compare options and choose the level of service that suits your needs and budget.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While we operate flexible vehicles similar to a man-and-van, Man and Van Redbridge provides a professional removals service rather than a purely transport-only option. We offer trained staff, proper equipment, fully insured operations and structured planning for your move. We handle flats of all sizes, provide written quotations, and coordinate around access, building rules and timing. A casual man-and-van might be suitable for a single item, but for a full flat removal most people prefer the reassurance, efficiency and accountability of a professional removals company.
How far in advance should I book my flat removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your move at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or on a weekend. That said, we regularly accommodate moves at shorter notice where our schedule allows. If your moving date is not yet fixed, we can provide a provisional quote and hold a preferred day subject to confirmation. The earlier you contact us, the easier it is to plan your flat removal smoothly around your key deadlines.
Piano Removals

Moving a piano is never just another job. It is heavy, delicate and often one of the most valuable items in a property.

Every piano move is planned individually. We assess access, weight, size and any obstacles before we start, to ensure a controlled, safe and efficient removal.

If you are unsure whether your item is covered, simply ask – we will give you a clear yes or no and, where possible, point you towards a suitable specialist.
Our Step-by-Step Piano Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: piano type, current and destination addresses, access notes and preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day. Prices are based on the type of piano, access complexity, distance and any additional services required.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For straightforward upright moves, photos and measurements are often enough. For larger instruments or challenging access, we recommend an onsite or video survey. We check doorway widths, staircases, steps, lifts and parking so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On removal day, we protect your piano with quilted covers and wrap. For grands and baby grands, we remove legs and the lyre as needed and secure the lid. We also protect floors and walls with runners and pads to avoid scuffs and scrapes.
4. Loading & Transport
Your piano is carefully loaded using piano skids, dollies, ramps and tail-lift vehicles depending on the situation. Our vehicles are equipped with tie-down points and straps to keep the instrument secure during transit. All moves are covered by goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we place the piano exactly where you want it, subject to floor strength and access. We reassemble any removed parts and carry out final checks. We recommend allowing the piano to acclimatise before booking a tuner.
Transparent Pricing for Piano Removals
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes for piano removals in Redbridge are typically based on:
- Type and size of piano (upright, baby grand, grand)
- Access difficulty at both addresses (stairs, tight turns, no lift, long carries)
- Travel distance between properties
- Day and time (standard hours vs. out of hours)
- Any additional services (internal moves, same-building moves, interim storage)
All costs are explained in plain language before you book. If circumstances change – for example, if access is significantly different to what was described – we discuss any price adjustments with you before proceeding.
Why Use Professional Piano Movers Instead of DIY
A piano can easily weigh between 180kg and 500kg. Attempting a DIY move with friends and a small van is risky for both people and property. Professional piano removals offer:
- Correct lifting techniques to reduce the risk of injury
- Specialist equipment designed for moving heavy instruments
- Protective materials to avoid scratches, dents and damage
- Fully insured transport if the unexpected happens
- Experienced judgement on what is realistically safe and possible
While a basic man-and-van service may be fine for boxes and small furniture, pianos deserve trained, professional handling.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your instrument is valuable, both financially and sentimentally. We back up our work with:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your piano while it is in our vehicle
- Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to third-party property
- Trained moving teams – staff who are experienced with heavy and delicate items
We follow industry best practice for lifting, securing and transporting pianos. Our crews work methodically and communicate clearly with you throughout the move, so you always know what is happening next.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to move your piano with the minimum possible impact on your property and the environment.
- We use heavy-duty blankets, covers and floor protectors to prevent marks and scratches.
- Reusable packing materials are prioritised, reducing single-use plastics.
- Routes are planned to minimise mileage where possible, helping cut emissions.
- Old packaging is removed from site, and recyclable materials are separated where practical.
This careful, considered approach allows us to protect your piano, your home and the wider environment at the same time.
Real-World Piano Removal Use Cases
Moving House
We often integrate piano removals into full household moves, coordinating timings with your main removal so the piano is loaded and unloaded safely and efficiently. If needed, we can schedule the piano on a separate vehicle for extra protection.
Office or Studio Relocation
Studios, schools and rehearsal spaces rely on their pianos. We plan moves around your timetable, ensuring the instrument is ready when your staff or students arrive at the new location.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes a piano needs to be moved quickly – for example, after a property sale exchange or before building work starts. Subject to availability, we can offer same-day or next-day slots within Redbridge and nearby areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a piano removal in Redbridge cost?
The cost depends mainly on the type of piano, the access at each property and the distance travelled. Upright pianos with easy ground-floor access are at the lower end of the scale, while grands or jobs involving multiple flights of stairs cost more due to the extra labour and time involved. Once we know your details, we provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden charges. If you send photos and measurements, we can usually give you an accurate price before any visit is needed.
Can you do same-day or urgent piano removals?
Subject to schedule and crew availability, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice piano removals within Redbridge and nearby areas. The more information you can provide when you contact us – including photos, addresses and any access restrictions – the faster we can confirm feasibility and pricing. Urgent moves may carry a premium, especially outside normal working hours, but we will always explain this clearly before you decide whether to go ahead.
Is my piano insured while you move it?
Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our care and on our vehicles. In addition, we carry public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. Our priority is always to prevent incidents through careful planning, proper equipment and trained teams, but it is reassuring to know that robust insurance is in place. We are happy to confirm cover levels and conditions in writing when we provide your quote, so everything is completely transparent.
What is included in your piano removal service?
Our standard service includes protective wrapping of the piano, safe loading and unloading, secure transport between addresses, and positioning of the instrument in its new location, subject to safe access. For grands and baby grands, it also covers dismantling and reassembly of legs and the lyre where required. Floor and wall protection is provided as needed. Optional extras can include internal moves within the same building and coordinating with your general house removal. All inclusions are clearly listed in our written quotation.
How is a specialist piano removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service is usually geared towards general household items and small furniture. Specialist piano removals involve trained staff, dedicated equipment such as piano skids and heavy-duty dollies, and specific techniques for handling very heavy, delicate instruments. We also factor in detailed access planning and provide appropriate insurance cover. This significantly reduces the risk of damage to your piano, your property and the people involved. For such a valuable item, specialist handling is almost always the safer and more economical choice.
How far in advance should I book a piano removal?
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking your piano removal at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific day or time. That said, we understand that moves do not always follow perfect timelines, so we keep some flexibility in our diary for shorter-notice jobs. During busy periods such as month-end and school holidays, slots fill up quickly, so early booking is advisable. Once your date is confirmed, we send written details so you know exactly what to expect.

- Live animals or pets
- Unboxed loose valuables such as jewellery or cash

If you are unsure about any item, please mention it during your enquiry so we can advise or arrange suitable alternatives.
Our Step-by-Step Man with Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your addresses, dates and a rough list of what you need moved. We ask a few practical questions about access, floors, lifts and parking. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the service, estimated time and costs.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves or more complex access, we may carry out a short video call survey or an in-person visit in Redbridge. This lets us check stairways, doorways and loading points, ensuring we send the right van size, number of movers and equipment such as trolleys and blankets.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service at an additional cost. On moving day we protect furniture with blankets, and where agreed we can dismantle and reassemble basic items such as bed frames. We label items clearly so they end up in the right rooms at the new address.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team load the van carefully, securing items to minimise movement during transit. We use straps, blankets and proper stacking methods to protect your belongings. Once loaded, we take the most efficient route, factoring in current traffic and any local restrictions in and around Redbridge.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload your items to the rooms you specify, not just to the doorway. We can reassemble pre-agreed furniture and place heavier pieces where you want them. Before leaving, we do a final check that everything has been unloaded and you are satisfied with the placement.
Transparent Pricing – How Our Man with Van Costs Work
We believe in straightforward pricing so you know exactly what you are paying for. Our man with van service in Redbridge is typically charged either by the hour (with a minimum booking period) or as a fixed price for clearly defined jobs.
Factors that affect the price include:
- Distance between pick-up and drop-off
- Size of van and number of movers required
- Floors, lifts and walking distances
- Any dismantling or reassembly needed
- Parking arrangements and any permits
Your quote will confirm what is included so you can compare like-for-like with other companies. There are no hidden charges; any potential extra costs are explained before you book.
Why Choose a Professional Man with Van Over DIY
Hiring a professional man with van service is not just about convenience. It is about reducing risk and stress. DIY moves often involve borrowing vehicles, lifting heavy items without proper equipment, and multiple time-consuming trips.
With Man and Van Redbridge you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to lift and carry safely
- Appropriate trolleys, blankets and straps to protect items
- Efficient loading to reduce the number of journeys
- Goods in transit insurance for peace of mind
- Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and property
Choosing a casual, uninsured service may look cheaper, but can prove costly if items are damaged, lost or the job is left unfinished. Our approach is to do the job properly the first time.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a reputable removals operator in Redbridge, we maintain robust insurance and working standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during the move
- Trained moving teams – staff briefed on safe handling, lifting and customer care
We also keep our vehicles clean, serviced and properly equipped. You are welcome to ask about policy details when you book; we are open about what is covered so expectations are clear.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your belongings goes hand in hand with looking after our environment. We use reusable removal blankets, re-usable crates (where requested), and plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.
We encourage re-use of packing materials and can advise on responsible disposal or donation of unwanted items. Our team take care when moving items through your property, using floor protection where needed and working methodically to avoid marks and damage.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Man with Van in Redbridge
Moving House or Flat
From one-bedroom flats in Ilford to small houses in Wanstead, our man with van service is ideal for moves that do not require a full fleet but still need professional handling and coordination.
Office and Business Relocations
We move desks, chairs, IT equipment and documents between offices, shops and storage units. Evening or weekend moves can be arranged to minimise downtime for your business.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Sometimes plans change quickly – a tenancy ends sooner than expected, or an item must be collected the same day. Where availability allows, we offer same-day or short-notice man with van support across Redbridge and beyond.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with van service in Redbridge cost?
Costs depend on distance, volume of items, access and how many movers you need. Smaller local moves may be charged by the hour with a minimum booking, while larger or longer-distance moves are often quoted at a fixed price. To give you an accurate figure, we will ask for addresses, a list of key items and any access details such as floor level and parking. We then provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what is included and can budget with confidence.
Can you offer same-day or urgent man with van bookings?
Yes, we can often provide same-day or next-day man with van support in Redbridge, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Urgent bookings work best when you can be flexible with times and have a clear list of what needs moving. Contact us as early as possible, tell us it is urgent, and we will quickly confirm whether we can help, which van size is available, and the expected cost. We always prioritise clear communication so you know what to expect.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our care and on our vehicles, and public liability cover for any accidental damage to property. Insurance is there to provide reassurance, but our priority is always prevention: careful handling, proper packing, and secure loading. We are happy to explain what is covered and any limits or exclusions before you book, so you can decide whether to arrange any additional cover for particularly high-value or delicate items.
What is included in your man with van service?
Our standard service includes a suitable van, an experienced driver and at least one trained mover to help with lifting, loading and unloading. We provide protective blankets and securing straps as standard, and we place items into the rooms you choose at the new address. Additional services such as packing, provision of boxes, and dismantling or reassembling furniture can be added on request. Your quote will outline exactly what is included so there are no surprises on moving day.
What is the difference between removals and a man with van service?
A full removals service usually involves a larger team, multiple vehicles if needed, comprehensive packing, detailed planning and more capacity for bigger properties. A man with van service is generally better suited to smaller moves, single items, student moves and short-distance transport. With Man and Van Redbridge, both options maintain the same professional standards and insurance cover. We will advise which service is most appropriate once we understand the size of your move, your budget and your timescales.
How far in advance should I book?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at month-end or weekends, we recommend booking your man with van service at least one to two weeks in advance. However, we do understand that moves are not always planned that far ahead, and we keep some flexibility for short-notice work. If your dates are fixed, it is wise to reserve your slot as soon as you know them. The earlier you book, the easier it is for us to organise parking, access and any additional services you may need.

For small offices, shops and service businesses, downtime is costly. We offer same day removals for urgent relocations, equipment moves and internal reconfigurations, with care taken over IT equipment, documents and stock.
Students
Students often need quick, flexible help at the start or end of term. We offer affordable same day services for room moves, shared houses and storage runs, with options for single item and small load moves.
What We Can and Cannot Move Same Day
Items Typically Included
- Furniture: beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs, desks, shelving

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, mention it at the enquiry stage so we can advise.
Our Same Day Removals Process
Even on short notice, we follow a clear, structured process so your move is controlled and predictable.
1. Enquiry & Quotation
Call or message us with your requirements: locations, property type, number of rooms, key items and timings. We will quickly assess availability and provide a clear quotation based on the vehicle size, number of movers and estimated time needed. There are no hidden extras; any additional charges (for example, congestion or parking) are explained upfront.
2. Quick Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most same-day moves, we carry out a short virtual survey using photos, video or a call. For larger or more complex jobs, we may arrange a rapid onsite visit if time permits. This helps us choose the right team size, vehicle and equipment, and flag any access issues such as tight stairs, long walks or parking restrictions.
3. Packing & Preparation
Where you have already packed, we focus on safe preparation: protecting furniture, planning the load and securing delicate items. If you need help packing on the day, we can often provide same day packing assistance for a clearly agreed additional cost, including boxes, wrap and tape if required.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional movers use trolleys, straps and blankets to load your belongings safely and efficiently. We protect furniture and doorways where needed, and stack items securely in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We then transport your goods directly to your new address, using the most suitable route.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. We can place furniture where you want it and work with you to prioritise key items such as beds, sofas and work equipment so you can get settled quickly. Once everything is off the vehicle, we check that you are happy with the placement before we leave.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day removals are priced fairly and transparently. Costs typically depend on:
- Size of the move (volume of items and property size)
- Number of movers needed
- Travel distance between properties
- Access difficulty (stairs, lifts, long carries)
- Any additional services (packing, dismantling, rubbish removal)
Most urgent moves are charged on a fixed price or a clear hourly rate with minimum hours agreed in advance. We always confirm pricing before starting work, so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
On a same-day move, cutting corners often leads to damage, delays and extra stress. Using a professional removals team means:
- Experienced, trained movers who understand safe lifting and loading
- Proper equipment and vehicles designed for removals
- Cover under goods in transit insurance and public liability
- Reduced risk of injury to you, your family or colleagues
- Less disruption to your day – we handle the heavy work
A casual man-and-van may be suitable for a single item, but for a full or part house move at very short notice, a structured, insured service provides far greater protection.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man and Van Redbridge maintains comprehensive insurance and high operating standards for every job, including urgent moves.
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties
- Trained, experienced staff who follow safe handling practices
- Clean, well-maintained vehicles equipped for removals
- Clear communication from booking through to completion
We are committed to working carefully, respectfully and in line with recognised removals best practice.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even when time is tight, we prioritise the protection of your belongings and the environment. We use padded blankets, covers and straps to safeguard furniture, and we handle fragile items with particular care. Where possible, we use reusable protective materials and avoid unnecessary single-use plastics.
We also plan routes intelligently to reduce mileage and fuel use, and we encourage customers to reuse or recycle packing materials after the move. For clearouts, we can advise on responsible disposal options and licensed waste services.
Real-World Same Day Move Scenarios
- Moving house at short notice: Completing a sale earlier than expected or facing a sudden completion date change.
- Office relocation: A small business needing to move quickly to new premises due to lease or operational changes.
- Urgent landlord move: Clearing or refurnishing a property between tenants on a tight turnaround.
- Student emergency move: Changing accommodation, leaving halls or moving back home on short notice.
- Last-minute collection: Collecting and delivering furniture or appliances purchased locally the same day.
In each case, we adapt our service to your priorities: speed, care, budget and minimal disruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Redbridge cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your move, distance, access and how many movers are needed. Smaller same-day jobs might be charged on an hourly basis with a minimum booking period, while larger moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Additional services such as packing, dismantling or disposal will affect the total. We will ask a few clear questions, give you a transparent quote and confirm what is included before we start, so there are no surprises on the day.
Can you always offer same-day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate same-day requests, especially within Redbridge and nearby areas, but availability depends on our schedule and team capacity. Early contact gives us the best chance of fitting you in. Even if we are fully booked, we will be honest about what is realistic and may offer alternative times or scaled-down assistance. It is always worth calling, as same-day slots can open up if another job finishes early or is rescheduled.
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 in our vehicles, subject to standard terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. Our team is trained to minimise risk through careful handling and proper packing, but insurance provides an additional layer of protection. We are happy to explain the main policy points and any exclusions when you request a quote, so you understand the cover in place.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our core service includes a vehicle, a trained moving team, loading, safe transport and unloading at your new address. We handle standard household or office items, furniture and boxes, and place them in the rooms you specify. Additional options, such as packing assistance, supplying boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, or multiple drop-offs, can be added by agreement. We will confirm what is included in writing or by message so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
How is a professional removal service different from a basic man-and-van?
A professional removal service offers more structure, protection and accountability. You benefit from trained staff, appropriate equipment, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and a clear process from enquiry through to completion. Vehicles are purpose-equipped for removals, and teams are used to handling complex items, tight access and time-critical moves. A casual man-and-van may be cheaper for a single, simple item, but for full or part-property moves, especially same-day, a professional service greatly reduces risk and stress.
How far in advance should I book a same day removal?
For genuine same-day moves, contact us as early in the day as possible, ideally in the morning, so we can assess availability and plan your job. If you know you may need to move urgently – for example, waiting on exchange or a landlord decision – it is worth talking to us in advance so we are aware of your situation. For next-day or near-urgent moves, booking at least 24–48 hours ahead usually gives you more flexibility on times and pricing.

Our Step-by-Step Man and a Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our website with details of your move: addresses, dates, list of main items, access notes and any special requirements. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the time, distance, manpower and van size required.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For smaller jobs, a quick call and photos or a video walk-through are often enough. For larger or more complex moves, we can arrange a virtual or onsite survey in Redbridge. This allows us to assess access, parking, staircases and item sizes so we can send the right team and equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack your own boxes or add our packing service. If you prefer to pack yourself, we provide guidance on box sizes, labelling and protecting delicate items. On the day, we bring blankets, straps and the necessary tools for basic dismantling of furniture.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional movers load your belongings methodically, securing everything to prevent movement and damage in transit. We plan the route with Redbridge traffic and any timed restrictions in mind, keeping you informed of our ETA at the destination.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing larger furniture where you want it. We can reassemble previously dismantled items and will always check you are happy with the placement before we leave.
Transparent Man and a Van Pricing
We believe in straightforward, honest pricing. Our man and a van service is typically charged on an hourly or fixed-job basis, depending on the nature of the move. Your quote will clearly show:
- Number of movers included
- Van size
- Minimum booking time (if applicable)
- Travel time or mileage, if relevant
- Any additional services (packing, materials, disposal)
There are no hidden charges for stairs or fuel within the agreed scope. Any potential extra costs, such as waiting time due to key delays, are explained upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Why Choose Professional Man and a Van Over DIY
Moving yourself or hiring a casual, unregistered driver may appear cheaper, but it often comes with risks: damage to belongings, injury from incorrect lifting, unreliable timings and no proper insurance. With Man and Van Redbridge you get:
- Trained moving teams who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
- Fully insured vehicles and cover for your goods in transit
- Reliable arrival times and efficient loading/unloading
- Professional equipment and vehicles maintained to a high standard
In short, you save time, reduce stress and significantly lower the risk of costly mistakes or injuries.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Every move is carried out under strict professional standards, with:
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are on the move
- Public liability cover for peace of mind at both properties
- Trained, experienced staff following agreed procedures
- Documented bookings and clear terms and conditions
While we handle every item with care, having proper cover in place provides an additional layer of protection and reassurance.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your property and belongings as if they were our own. Our team uses blankets, straps and floor protection where required, and we plan our loading so that fragile or awkward items are properly supported. We aim to minimise waste by:
- Reusing durable packing materials where hygiene and safety allow
- Encouraging customers to use reusable crates and strong boxes
- Optimising routes to cut unnecessary mileage and emissions
- Recycling or donating suitable unwanted items instead of sending everything to landfill
Real-World Man and a Van Use Cases
Moving House
For smaller properties, our man and a van service can handle your entire move in one or two trips. For larger households, it is ideal for moving selected items, such as furniture going into storage, or clearing a garage, loft or garden building.
Office Relocation
Businesses use our man and a van service for moving workstations, filing cabinets and boxed equipment between offices, or to and from storage. We can work outside normal office hours to limit disruption.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Life is unpredictable. When a tenancy ends sooner than planned, or you need a rapid clear-out or delivery, we do our best to offer same-day or next-day slots in Redbridge, subject to availability. Calling early in the day gives the best chance of securing an urgent booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and a van service in Redbridge cost?
Pricing depends mainly on how long the job takes, the number of movers required and the travel distance between addresses. Smaller local moves may be charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while more involved jobs are often priced as a fixed quote. When you contact us, we will ask a few questions about your property, access, and the items to be moved, then give you a clear, itemised price with no hidden extras so you can budget confidently.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man and a van bookings?
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can usually arrange same-day or next-day man and a van services within Redbridge and nearby areas. Availability depends on how busy we are and the size of the job, so we always recommend calling as early as possible. For very urgent moves, we may prioritise essential items or split the work into multiple trips. We will always be honest about what is realistic so you can make informed decisions.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability cover for work at your properties. This is designed to protect you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or loss. We will explain the key points of our cover, including any limits or exclusions, before you book. For particularly high-value or specialist items, we may suggest additional cover or alternative arrangements.
What is included in your man and a van removals service?
Our standard service includes the van, driver, loading, secure transport and unloading at your new address, with placement of furniture in the rooms you choose. We come equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys where needed. You can add extra movers, packing, dismantling and reassembly, or furniture disposal for an agreed fee. We do not provide cleaning, plumbing or electrical disconnection, but we are happy to discuss what you need so that everything is clearly defined before moving day.
What is the difference between your service and a casual man-with-a-van?
A casual man-with-a-van is often just a driver and vehicle, with no formal training or proper insurance. Our service is a professional removals operation: we employ trained staff, maintain our vehicles correctly, and carry full goods in transit and public liability insurance. We provide written quotes, confirmed bookings and clear terms, and we follow consistent procedures for handling, loading and protecting your belongings. In practice, this means a safer, smoother move and far less risk of damage, delay or unexpected costs.
How far in advance should I book?
For maximum choice of dates and times, we suggest booking your man and a van service 1–2 weeks in advance, especially for weekends and month-end periods, which are usually busiest. However, we understand that moves are not always planned that far ahead. If you need something sooner, contact us and we will check our live schedule. Even at short notice, we will always try to find a practical solution, whether that’s a same-day slot, an evening move or splitting the work across more than one trip.

- Perishable food for long-distance moves
- Very high-value items such as fine art or jewellery (unless agreed in advance)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we encourage you to ask during the quotation stage so we can advise or arrange appropriate handling.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact Man and Van Redbridge by phone, email, or online form. We will ask a few key questions: property size, number of rooms, addresses, access details, and any special items. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and outline the service level that best suits your move.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a short survey. This can be done virtually via video call or as an onsite visit in Redbridge. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, volume of goods, and any fragile or bulky items. A proper survey helps avoid surprises on moving day and ensures the right vehicle and team size are allocated.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer two main options: a full packing service where our trained movers pack your belongings using quality materials, or a part-packing service where you pack most items and we handle fragile or awkward goods. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply boxes, tape, and wrapping materials. On the day, we protect furniture with covers and blankets, and use floor protection where needed.
4. Loading & Transport
Our team carefully loads your goods, using trolleys, straps, and ramps for safety. Items are stacked logically and secured inside the van to minimise movement. Once loaded, we transport your belongings directly to your new address, following the route best suited to your schedule and traffic conditions in and around Redbridge.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble basic furniture that we dismantled for transport by prior agreement. Before we leave, we invite you to walk through and check that everything is in the right place and that you are happy with how your belongings have been handled.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Redbridge
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of goods (number of rooms / estimated cubic capacity)
- Distance between properties
- Access issues (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
- Service level (standard move, part-packing, full packing)
- Any specialist items or additional labour required
We provide fixed-price quotations wherever possible so you know the cost in advance. Any potential extras, such as congestion charges, tolls, or waiting time, are explained clearly before you book. There are no hidden fees.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Using a professional removals company like Man and Van Redbridge offers several advantages over DIY or casual man-and-van services:
- Safety: Trained teams use correct lifting techniques and equipment, reducing the risk of injury and damage.
- Time-saving: A coordinated crew can load and unload far more efficiently than a couple of friends and a hire van.
- Protection: We use protective covers, blankets, and straps, and we are fully insured for your peace of mind.
- Planning: We manage access, parking, and route planning, especially important in busy parts of Redbridge.
- Reliability: Confirmed booking times, written confirmation, and professional standards, rather than uncertain informal arrangements.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously, which is why Man and Van Redbridge operates with appropriate cover and standards:
- 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 with experience in handling fragile, heavy, and awkward items.
Our vehicles are clean, regularly maintained, and equipped with blankets, straps, and trolleys. We follow sensible loading practices and keep communication clear throughout your move so you always know what is happening.
Care, Protection, and Sustainability
We appreciate that many items we move have both financial and sentimental value, so we treat them with care. Furniture is wrapped or covered, fragile boxes are clearly labelled and placed appropriately, and we avoid unnecessary handling.
Where possible, we support a more sustainable approach by:
- Reusing strong cartons and packing materials when safe and appropriate
- Encouraging customers to recycle unwanted items rather than send them to landfill
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions
We continue to look for practical ways to make our operations more environmentally responsible while maintaining a high standard of service.

We regularly handle moves from high-rise apartments, new-build blocks, and converted houses. Our team coordinates with building management where needed and works around lift access and time restrictions.
Office and Home-Office Relocations
Small businesses and home-workers use our office removals service to relocate desks, chairs, IT equipment, and stock. We can schedule moves outside normal working hours to keep disruption to a minimum.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Redbridge cost?
The cost of a house removal in Redbridge depends on several factors: the size of your property, the volume of belongings, the distance between addresses, access conditions, and whether you require packing services. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger house moves are usually a fixed-price quote. To give you an accurate figure, we ask a few questions and, for bigger moves, recommend a short survey. All costs are explained clearly in writing before you decide to book.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
We can often help with same-day or urgent removals in Redbridge, particularly for smaller properties or part-loads. Availability depends on our existing bookings, the size of the move, and how far you are travelling. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details. We will be honest about what we can achieve safely and may propose practical alternatives, such as splitting the move over two trips or prioritising essential items first.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved, subject to the terms and conditions we provide with your quotation. We also hold public liability cover for your protection and that of third parties. We still expect items to be sensibly packed and labelled, and certain high-value or unusual items should be declared in advance so we can confirm cover. We are always happy to explain how our insurance works and what it includes before you book.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard house removals service includes supplying the correctly sized vehicle, a trained team of movers, loading and securing your belongings, transport to your new address, and unloading into the rooms you specify. We also provide basic furniture protection using blankets and covers. Optional extras include full packing, part-packing, provision of boxes and materials, and dismantling or reassembling certain items. All inclusions and optional services are listed clearly in your written quote so you know exactly what to expect.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a basic man-and-van can suit very small moves, a professional removals service offers more structure and protection. We provide planned crews, appropriate vehicles, fully insured operations, protective equipment, and clear written documentation. Our teams are experienced in handling bulky, fragile, and awkward items, and we take responsibility for careful loading, transport, and unloading. For whole-house moves, long distances, or when timing is critical, a professional service is more reliable, safer, and often better value when you factor in time, effort, and risk.
How far in advance should I book my move?
We recommend booking your Redbridge house removal as soon as you have a firm moving date, especially if you are moving on a Friday, weekend, or at month-end when demand is highest. Ideally, aim for at least two weeks’ notice for standard moves and longer for large homes or long-distance relocations. That said, we understand dates can change, especially with property chains, so we try to be flexible where possible. If your move is urgent, contact us and we will do our best within our schedule.
