Man with a Van in Hackney

When we built URemovals, we weren’t trying to reinvent moving, we just wanted to make it easier for people like you to find good help, quickly and without second guessing the price. Hackney is a fast-moving borough with everything from fifth-floor walk-ups to creative studios tucked down side streets. We get it, because we’ve moved it all ourselves.

Before URemovals, we ran a man and van business in Hampshire. We saw how time-consuming it was for people to compare options or know if they were getting fair value. That’s why we created a platform where you can send one request and instantly compare trusted providers, no need to phone around, and no inflated prices. Today, we help customers across London, including Hackney, book the right van team in just a few clicks.

Local Know-How for Moving in Hackney

With over 259,000 people living in Hackney, it’s one of London’s most densely populated boroughs. Areas like Dalston, Stoke Newington and Hackney Wick have grown rapidly in the past decade, and with that comes high demand for local moves—whether it's a flat-share changeover, student relocation, or helping small businesses move gear.

Some things to keep in mind:

• Hackney has one of the highest rates of private renting in the UK, meaning short-notice and end-of-tenancy moves are common.
• Over 1 in 5 residents move each year, so experienced local movers are in demand.
• The borough is a mix of conservation zones and new-build estates, so access and parking vary by postcode. Our providers are familiar with that and work around it.

What You Get with Your Booking

From £35/hour, your quote will typically include:

• A clean, reliable van (from small to Luton size)
• One or two experienced movers
• Blankets, straps, trolleys for protection and loading Fuel and local mileage
