What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

Our same day removals service usually covers:

• Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected)
• Boxes, bags and personal effects
• Office furniture, IT equipment and archives
• Garage and shed contents, tools and garden furniture

Items Typically Excluded

For safety, insurance and legal reasons, we normally cannot carry:

• Hazardous or flammable materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals)
• Live animals
• Unsecured commercial machinery

If you are unsure about a particular item, mention it when you enquire. We will advise whether we can move it and, if necessary, suggest alternatives.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quick Quote

Call or message us as early as possible with your moving details. We will ask about addresses, access, floors, key items and timing. For same day moves, we prioritise clarity and speed, giving you a clear price and availability on the spot wherever possible.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For urgent moves, we often carry out a swift virtual survey (photos or video) to assess volume, parking and any challenges such as stairs or tight access. For larger or more complex jobs, and when time allows, we may visit in person in Shirley to ensure we send the right team and vehicle.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can have your items pre-packed and ready, or we can assist with last-minute packing and securing of fragile items. We bring blankets, straps and basic materials to protect your furniture and appliances. If you need more comprehensive packing, let us know at enquiry stage so we can plan staffing and time accordingly.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained movers carefully load your belongings, using padding and securing straps to minimise movement in transit. We work methodically despite the time pressure, prioritising safety and protection. Once loaded, we transport directly to your new address, using efficient routes in and around Shirley.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it and stacking boxes sensibly. Before we leave, we invite you to check that everything has been delivered and positioned as agreed.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same day removals naturally involve tighter scheduling and higher demand, but we still keep our pricing transparent and fair. Our quotes typically consider:

• Volume of items and size of vehicle required
• Number of movers needed
• Distance between addresses
• Access issues, floors and lifting involved
• Timing, especially evenings or weekends

Where possible, we offer a clear fixed price based on the information you provide. For simpler jobs, we may work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges (for example, waiting for keys) are explained in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?

When you are moving at short notice, it can be tempting to book the first cheap van you find or attempt a DIY move. In our experience, this often leads to delays, damage and unnecessary stress.

With Man with Van Shirley, you benefit from:

• Trained movers who handle heavy and fragile items safely
• Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and protective covers
• Planned loading so items arrive in good condition and easy to unload
• Reliable arrival times and clear communication throughout
• Fully insured service for peace of mind

A casual man-and-van may be fine for one or two small items, but for a full or partial move, a professional removals team is almost always safer, faster and better value overall.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, especially when everything is moving in a single day. That is why we maintain robust cover and high operating standards:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our vehicle
• Public liability cover for work in and around your property
• Trained moving teams experienced in lifting, loading and packing
• Well-maintained vehicles suitable for domestic and commercial moves

We handle your belongings as if they were our own, documenting any pre-existing issues where appropriate and taking care to avoid scuffs or damage to walls, floors and doors.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even on a same day move, we do not cut corners on care. We use protective blankets, proper stacking techniques and secure strapping to keep your goods safe in transit. Where needed, we can protect doorways and banisters during loading and unloading.

We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Wherever possible, we:

• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Encourage reuse of boxes and packing materials
• Consolidate trips when practical

If you have packing materials from a previous move, we are happy to work with them to avoid waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do same day removals in Shirley cost?

Pricing depends on the size of the move, distance, access and how quickly you need us. Same day removals can be a little more than standard bookings because of scheduling and staffing pressures, but we always provide a clear, honest quote before you commit. Smaller jobs may be charged on an hourly rate with a minimum time, while larger moves are usually priced as a fixed job. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with details of what you are moving and where.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate same day moves, especially within Shirley, but availability depends on our existing bookings and team capacity. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better the chance we can help. For particularly large properties or complex office moves, we may need to discuss whether part of the work can be done the next day. Even when fully booked, we will try to offer realistic options rather than over-promising.

Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?

Yes. Our same day removals are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance, which protects your items while they are in our care and being transported. We also hold public liability cover for work on your premises. Insurance is there for unexpected situations, but our primary focus is on preventing issues through careful handling, sensible loading and using the right equipment. If you have any high-value or unusual items, please tell us in advance so we can confirm cover and plan accordingly.

What is included in your same day removals service?

As standard, our service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We provide moving blankets and securing straps to protect and stabilise your goods in transit. Optional extras include help with packing, dismantling basic furniture and reassembly, where time allows. We do not usually provide cleaning, disposal of rubbish or disconnection of appliances, but we are happy to clarify what we can and cannot do when you enquire.

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

A basic man-and-van is typically just a driver with a vehicle and minimal equipment. Our service is a full professional removals operation: trained crews, proper insurance, planning, protection and careful handling. We look at access, stairs, parking, volume and item type to send the right team and kit. This reduces the risk of damage or injury and usually makes the move quicker overall. For a couple of small items, a casual man-and-van might be fine; for a serious move, a professional removals team is a safer choice.

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

For peace of mind, it is best to book as soon as you know your moving date, even if it is only provisional. However, we understand that plans can change suddenly. If you find yourself needing to move at very short notice, contact us straight away. We will check our schedule and be honest about what we can do that day. Even if we cannot move everything immediately, we may be able to move the essentials and return for the remainder as early as possible.
