At Man with Van Hackney Wick, our removal van service is designed for people who want a smooth, well-organised move handled by a professional, locally based team.

Professional Removal Van Service in Hackney Wick
Based in Hackney Wick, we work every day in E3, E9 and the surrounding East London postcodes. That means we understand local parking rules, loading restrictions, busy times on the roads, and the quirks of local estates and warehouse conversions. This local knowledge helps us plan realistic timings, avoid delays and protect your belongings from the first box to the last item unloaded.
Our removal vans are clean, well maintained and fully equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys so your items are secured properly during transit. Every job is carried out by trained, professional movers who handle your possessions as if they were their own.
Who Our Removal Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Moving between houses in Hackney Wick or across London? We regularly help homeowners relocate terraced houses, townhouses and family homes. We can provide extra movers, disassembly and reassembly of furniture, and careful handling of fragile items such as mirrors, artwork and glass furniture.
Renters
If you are moving between rented flats, house-shares or studio apartments, our flexible removal van service fits around your check-in and check-out times. We are used to narrow staircases, basement flats and top-floor conversions with no lifts, and we plan manpower and timings accordingly.
Landlords
We work with landlords needing quick, efficient moves for end-of-tenancy clearouts, part-furnished properties and furniture swaps between units. We can collect, remove and redistribute furniture and white goods in a single visit, helping you get your property ready for the next tenant faster.
Businesses
For small businesses in Hackney Wick’s studios, offices and creative spaces, our removal van service covers office relocations, internal moves and storage runs. We handle desks, chairs, filing cabinets, IT equipment and boxed documents, ensuring minimal disruption to your trading hours.
Students
Students moving to or from Hackney Wick, Queen Mary, UEL or other London universities use us for term-time and end-of-year moves. We offer smaller, budget-friendly options for single rooms, shared flats and student storage collections and drop-offs.

How Our Removal Van Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your move details – addresses, access information, dates, and a rough list of items. Based on this, we recommend the right size removal van and the number of movers. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included, so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we will usually carry out a brief survey. This can be via video call, photos and inventory list, or an onsite visit in Hackney Wick or nearby. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, stairs, lifts and any awkward items, ensuring we turn up fully prepared on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service as an optional extra. If we are packing, we use quality materials and label boxes clearly by room. On move day, we protect furniture with blankets, covers and shrink-wrap where appropriate, and we can also dismantle larger items such as beds and wardrobes if agreed in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your belongings in a structured way, securing items with straps and using trolleys or dollies where needed to protect both your goods and the property. Vans are loaded to prevent movement in transit. We then drive directly to your new address, using sensible routes to minimise delays and avoid low bridges or access issues.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload your items into the rooms you specify, not just into the hallway. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled as part of the agreed service. Before we leave, we do a final check with you to make sure nothing has been missed and you are happy with the placement of larger items.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear pricing with no hidden extras. Our removal van rates are tailored to your specific move, based on:
- Size of van required
- Number of movers needed
- Distance between addresses
- Estimated loading and unloading time
- Optional services such as packing or furniture assembly
You will receive a written breakdown explaining what is included in the price. Congestion Charge, ULEZ and parking costs are discussed upfront where applicable, so there are no surprises on move day.
Why Use a Professional Removal Van Service Instead of DIY?
Hiring your own van and asking friends to help may look cheaper, but it often leads to extra stress, longer hours and a higher risk of damage. With our professional removal van service you benefit from:
- Experienced movers who know how to lift, pack and secure items safely
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps, tools and protective covers
- Reduced risk of damage to walls, floors and staircases
- Less chance of personal injury from heavy lifting
- Reliable timings and fewer journeys due to correct van sizing
- Proper insurance cover if something does go wrong
Compared with a casual man-and-van, we offer structured planning, documented quotes and clear standards, giving you greater peace of mind.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. That is why we operate as a fully insured removals provider. We carry:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are being moved in our vans
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties
Our team members are trained in safe lifting, practical packing and careful handling of fragile items. We follow sensible, proven working practices rather than rushing, and we plan each move so that our crew and your possessions are looked after from start to finish.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on protecting both your belongings and the environment. On every job we use appropriate protection for furniture and property, including blankets, floor covers and door protectors where needed. We also minimise waste by reusing durable packing materials and responsibly recycling damaged cartons and plastics when they reach the end of their life.
Our routes are planned to reduce unnecessary mileage, and we aim to consolidate smaller jobs where appropriate to cut down the number of separate trips we make across London. This practical approach helps keep costs sensible while lowering our environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Hackney Wick cost?
Pricing depends on the size of van required, how many movers you need, the distance between addresses and the overall time the job is likely to take. Smaller flat moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. We will ask you for an inventory and access details, then provide a clear written quote outlining exactly what is included, plus any potential extras such as Congestion Charge or parking fees.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or urgent removal van services in Hackney Wick and surrounding areas. Availability will always depend on the size of van and crew you need and the time of day you contact us. If we can help, we will give you a realistic arrival window and explain what can be achieved within the time available. For urgent jobs, it helps if you have a simple inventory and clear access so we can get started quickly.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We operate with goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vans, and public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. There are standard exclusions and limits, which we are happy to explain before you book. We always recommend that high-value items are declared in advance so we can confirm cover. Our team’s careful handling and use of proper protection significantly reduces the chance of any issues arising.
What is included in your removal van service?
As standard, our service includes a suitable removal van, a trained moving crew, protective blankets and securing straps, loading at the collection address, safe transport, and unloading into the rooms you specify at the destination. We can also offer additional services such as packing, supply of boxes and materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and disposal of unwanted items by prior agreement. All inclusions and any optional extras are listed clearly in your written quote so you know exactly what you are getting.
How is a professional removal service different from a basic man-and-van?
A professional removal service offers more structure, protection and accountability than a casual man-and-van. We provide written quotes, proper insurance, trained staff, suitable equipment and planned workflows. That means better protection for your belongings, clearer timings and less risk of issues on the day. While basic man-and-van operators can suit very small or informal moves, most people find that for full home or office relocations, a professional removal van service significantly reduces stress and the chance of costly damage.
How far in advance should I book a removal van?
For most moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday, at the end of the month or during peak summer periods. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed and to plan the right size van and team. However, we understand that moves are not always confirmed early, so we also accept shorter-notice bookings where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more flexible we can be with times and dates.
