Your moving day checklist keeps everything on track. What to expect on moving day, removal day tips, and an hour-by-hour plan so nothing is forgotten. From the crew arriving to the final walkthrough, this guide helps you stay calm and organised for your house removal or man and van in London.
Remove obstacles from halls and stairs. Confirm parking permits are in place (see our parking permits guide). Have your essentials box ready and last-minute items packed. Do a final walkthrough to ensure nothing is left behind.
When the crew arrives, introduce yourself and confirm the plan. Removal day tips: point out fragile items, show access routes, and stay available for questions. Do a room-by-room check as they load. Sign the inventory if one is used.
Loading usually takes 2–4 hours depending on the size of the move. The team will wrap and protect furniture, load the van, and secure the load. You can travel with them or meet them at the new address.
If you are not travelling with the van, leave in time to reach the new property before or with the crew. Have keys ready. Ensure access is clear. In London, traffic can delay—build in buffer time.
Direct the crew to the right rooms. Use your labelled boxes—they will place furniture and boxes where you specify. Do a final check of the van before they leave. Confirm everything has arrived and note any damage on the paperwork if needed.
