What Our Same Day Removals Service Includes
Our same day service is designed to mirror a planned removal as closely as possible, just on a much tighter timescale. Subject to availability, we can provide:
- Same day home removals – flats, houses, HMOs, room moves
- Same day office removals – small to medium offices, decants, internal moves
- Same day student moves – halls, shared houses, term-time storage moves
- Urgent collection and delivery – furniture, appliances, boxed effects
- Local and longer-distance moves starting from London
We bring purpose-built removal vehicles, protective equipment, trolleys and experienced, trained staff to complete your move efficiently and safely.
Local Same Day Removals Expertise in London
Working daily across London means we understand traffic patterns, parking restrictions, building layouts and managing moves under pressure. We regularly handle:
- Moves to and from high-rise blocks and mansion flats
- Loading from restricted streets and controlled parking zones
- Access-limited properties, basements and loft conversions
- Office buildings with security and lift booking requirements
Because our teams are already on the road in London, we can often divert or allocate a vehicle at short notice, making genuine same day removals possible when others cannot.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
For completions that change at the last minute or when a previous mover lets you down, we provide emergency support. We can move full house contents, part loads or priority items to your new home or temporary storage.
Renters
Many tenants face urgent moves due to unexpected notices or landlord deadlines. We help renters vacate on time, avoid penalties and ensure items are handled carefully, even when time is tight.
Landlords
Landlords and property managers use our same day removals service to clear properties quickly after abandonment, tenancy end or emergency works, ensuring the property can be cleaned and relet without delay.
Businesses
From small offices to retail units, we assist with urgent office relocations, IT and furniture moves, and last-minute strip-outs. We work to minimise downtime and disruption to your operations.
Students
Students often need quick help at the start or end of term or when switching accommodation. We handle boxed belongings, clothes, books, small furniture and tech, making the move straightforward and affordable.
Items We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Domestic furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, drawers
- Office furniture – desks, chairs, cabinets, shelves
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected)
- Electronics – TVs, computers, printers, AV equipment
- Personal effects – boxes, clothing, books, kitchenware, ornaments

- Industrial machinery requiring specialist lifting

If you are unsure whether an item is suitable, please ask during your enquiry – we will give clear guidance before booking.
Our Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Call or message us as early in the day as possible. We will ask key questions: addresses, access details, size of move, floors, lift access, and any time constraints. Wherever possible, we provide a clear, fixed or capped price before we dispatch a team.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most same day moves we carry out a rapid virtual survey via photos or video call. This allows us to gauge volume, access and manpower needed. For larger or complex moves, if time permits, we can attend quickly for a brief onsite survey.
3. Packing & Preparation
If your items are already boxed, we focus on protection and loading. Where needed, we can supply basic packing help, disassemble straightforward furniture (such as bed frames) and protect delicate items using transit blankets, covers and shrink wrap.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your belongings systematically, securing items inside the vehicle using straps and appropriate stacking methods. We plan the route to avoid unnecessary delays, taking into account London traffic, roadworks and any time restrictions at your destination.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new property we unload in an organised manner, placing items into the rooms you direct. We reassemble items we dismantled where agreed and ensure nothing is left in the vehicle. A final walk-through with you confirms that the move is complete.
Transparent Same Day Removals Pricing
Same day removals cost slightly more than scheduled moves due to the urgent nature, but we keep pricing clear and fair. Costs are typically based on:
- Volume of goods and size of vehicle required
- Number of movers needed
- Travel distance between addresses
- Access difficulty (stairs, parking, long carries)
- Any added services, such as packing or dismantling
Where possible, we offer a fixed price so you know exactly what you will pay. For smaller or uncertain jobs, we may recommend an hourly rate with clear start and finish times. There are no hidden extras; all charges are agreed before work begins.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY?
Attempting a same day move yourself – or with an unregulated casual service – can quickly become stressful and risky. By choosing a professional removals company you benefit from:
- Experienced crews who move under pressure without cutting corners
- Correct vehicles, equipment and protective materials
- Goods in transit insurance for peace of mind
- Efficient loading and route planning, saving time and effort
- Reduced risk of damage to belongings and property
Instead of scrambling for helpers and hiring an unsuitable van, you gain an organised team used to handling urgent moves safely.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Man and Van - Office Removals operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance for your possessions while they are on the move
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your properties
- Trained moving teams following safe lifting and handling practices
- Regularly maintained vehicles equipped for removals work
Full details of cover, limits and any exclusions are available on request and can be provided before you confirm your booking.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on same day moves, we do not compromise on care. We protect furniture with blankets, covers and appropriate wrapping, and we take precautions to avoid marks or damage to walls and floors.
We also consider sustainability in how we operate. We aim to:
- Use reusable blankets and durable covers instead of excessive single-use materials
- Consolidate routes where possible to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Recycle or donate unwanted items on request where practical
Our objective is to move you quickly while still working responsibly and respectfully.
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Emergency House Move
A buyer whose original mover cancelled on completion day contacted us mid-morning. Within hours we had a two-man team and a suitable vehicle onsite, cleared the property and delivered to the new home in time for key handover, avoiding overnight storage costs.
Urgent Office Relocation
A small business faced an unexpected deadline to vacate serviced offices. We dismantled desks, packed IT equipment carefully, moved everything to the new premises and set up the main work area so staff could operate the next day.
Student Check-Out Move
A student required immediate removal after a tenancy dispute. We packed personal belongings, safely transported them to a friend’s address and provided an inventory for peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of the move, distance, access and how many movers are required at short notice. Smaller same day moves in London may be charged at an hourly rate, while larger jobs are usually priced as a fixed fee after a quick assessment. Same day work is often slightly more than a pre-booked service because we have to rearrange schedules and allocate staff immediately. We will always explain the pricing structure clearly before you commit, so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
Availability depends on how busy our schedule is and where our teams are at the time you call. We cannot guarantee every enquiry can be fitted in, especially at peak times, but we are often able to allocate a crew by diverting or adding vehicles. Contact us as early in the day as possible, provide accurate details of your move, and we will confirm if a same day slot is realistic. If not, we will offer the earliest alternative and explain your options clearly.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and limits. We also carry public liability cover for work at your properties. As with any insurance, there are exclusions, such as certain high-value items or self-packed fragile goods, so it is important to discuss anything unusual in advance. We are happy to explain our cover in plain language and confirm the details in writing before your move.
What is included in a same day removals service?
Our standard same day removals service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We bring protective blankets and basic equipment as standard. Subject to time and prior agreement, we can also help with light dismantling and reassembly, and limited packing support. What is not included are specialist services such as full packing of an entire property, complex dismantling, or disposal work, although we may be able to quote for these separately if time allows.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
While our roots are in man-and-van work, our approach is that of a professional removals company. We provide trained staff, appropriate vehicles, insurance, and a structured process, even on same day moves. Casual man-and-van operators may not offer insurance, proper equipment or written terms, which can leave you exposed if something goes wrong. With us you receive a clear quote, agreed responsibilities, and a team experienced in managing moves of all sizes safely and efficiently.
How far in advance should I book, if it is not an emergency?
If you know your move date in advance, the sooner you book the better – ideally one to two weeks for smaller moves and three to four weeks for larger properties or offices. This gives us time to plan resources and often works out more cost-effective for you. However, we understand that not all moves are predictable. If your situation becomes urgent, contact us immediately; we will prioritise your enquiry and let you know what same day or next-day options are realistically available.
