Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal for last-minute completion dates, unexpected chain changes, or when your original removals firm cancels. We can step in quickly to move the full contents of your house or flat with proper protection.

Perfect if you have to vacate a rental property at short notice or your tenancy dates have changed. We can move you from room, studio or flat on the same day and help avoid extra rent or penalty charges.
Landlords & Agents
We regularly assist landlords and letting agents with urgent clearances, tenant changeovers, and end-of-tenancy removals. We work tidily and can liaise directly with you or your tenants to coordinate access.
Businesses
From small offices to retail units and storage spaces, we handle same day office removals, equipment moves and urgent relocations with minimal downtime. We understand the importance of keeping your business running.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Contact us by phone or online with your collection and delivery addresses, move size and timing. For same day removals we respond as quickly as possible, confirm availability and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give.
2. Rapid Survey – Virtual or Onsite
To avoid surprises on the day, we carry out a brief survey. For urgent moves this is usually by phone or video – you walk us through the rooms and items. For larger properties and when time allows, we may attend in person. This helps us allocate the right van size, number of movers and time.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can handle the packing yourself, or we can provide a professional packing service when time allows. Even on same-day jobs we always bring blankets, straps and basic wrapping to protect furniture. We ask you to:
- Have loose items boxed or bagged where possible
- Empty and defrost fridges/freezers if moving
- Disconnect appliances before we arrive
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads systematically, protecting floors and walls where required. Items are padded, secured and stacked properly to prevent movement in transit. Your belongings are then transported directly to the new address using efficient routes around Colliers Wood and beyond.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival we unload into the rooms you specify, placing larger items where you want them so you can start settling in straight away. We work with care and respect for your new property, and we only leave once you are satisfied that everything ordered to be moved has been delivered.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day removals are priced fairly based on:
- Volume of goods (number of rooms or list of items)
- Number of movers required
- Travel distance and parking/access conditions
- Any additional services (packing, dismantling, extra drops)
We typically work on a fixed price for the job, agreed in advance once we understand your requirements. For very small or highly flexible moves we may offer an hourly rate. There are no hidden charges – any potential extras, such as congestion charges or extended waiting times, are explained clearly before you confirm the booking.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals team for a same day move makes a significant difference to both speed and safety. With us you benefit from:
- Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and manoeuvre large items safely
- Proper equipment – trolleys, ramps, protective blankets and straps
- Fully insured service, unlike many casual man-and-van options
- Reduced risk of injury to yourself, friends or colleagues
- Less likelihood of property damage or broken belongings
In urgent situations, trying to organise a DIY move often leads to delays, extra trips and unnecessary stress. A professional same day removals service keeps everything under control, even when time is tight.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance, giving cover while items are being loaded, transported and unloaded. We also hold public liability cover, offering protection for you and your property while we are working on-site.
Our teams are trained in safe handling, correct loading techniques and customer care. Vans are clean, regularly maintained and equipped for removals work, not general haulage. We operate with clear terms of business and provide written confirmations so you know exactly what is included.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on a same day job, we never rush at the expense of care. Furniture and fragile items are wrapped or covered, and we plan loading to minimise movement during transit. We treat both your old and new property as if they were our own, protecting doorways and stairways where needed.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:
- Reuse durable packing materials and furniture blankets
- Plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use
- Encourage customers to recycle unwanted items responsibly
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Urgent Home Moves
Last-minute completion dates or sudden changes in your chain can force you to move on very short notice. We can often step in the same day to move the contents of your home safely and efficiently, helping you meet deadlines without chaos.
Office and Business Relocations
When leases end early, equipment needs to be moved quickly or you are responding to an unexpected situation, we provide same day office removals that minimise disruption. Desks, chairs, files and IT equipment are handled carefully and set up in the new space as agreed.
Landlord & End-of-Tenancy Clearances
We regularly support landlords who need a property cleared swiftly between tenants or after an abandoned tenancy. We can remove furniture, personal effects and general contents, ready for cleaning or re-letting.
Student and Short-Term Moves
Students often face tight deadlines at the end of term or after accommodation changes. Our flexible, short-notice service is ideal for moving belongings between halls, shared houses and storage, usually in a single, efficient trip.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Colliers Wood cost?
Costs depend on the size of the move, distance, access and how many movers are required. Smaller flat or student moves are often priced on an hourly basis, while full house or office relocations are usually quoted as a fixed price. Same day work may carry a premium compared with advance bookings due to scheduling pressures, but we keep pricing fair and transparent. Once we know what needs moving and when, we’ll give you a clear quote with no hidden extras.
Can you always offer a same day removals service?
Availability for same day bookings depends on our schedule, team capacity and the size of your move. We can often accommodate smaller or medium moves at short notice, especially within Colliers Wood and nearby areas. Larger house or office relocations are sometimes better booked for the next day so we can allocate the right number of movers and vans. It’s always worth calling – if we can’t do the exact time you want, we’ll usually offer the nearest realistic option.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded by our team. We also carry public liability cover for work at your property. There may be standard limits and exclusions, as with any policy, so if you have particularly high-value or unusual items, let us know in advance so we can advise appropriately. We always handle possessions with great care to avoid the need for any claims in the first place.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our service includes the van, fuel, a professional moving team, loading, safe transport and unloading at your new address. We provide blankets and securing straps as standard and will place items in the rooms you specify. Optional extras can include packing services, dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, and multiple drop-offs or collections. All inclusions and any agreed extras are set out clearly in your quote so you know exactly what you are paying for.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
While we offer the flexibility associated with man-and-van work, we operate to full removals-company standards. That means trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper equipment and structured planning. Many casual man-and-van operators do not provide insurance, written confirmations or experienced teams. With us, you get the responsiveness and value of a man-and-van combined with the reliability, protection and organisation you would expect from a dedicated removals firm.
How far in advance should I book if I know I might need a same day move?
If you suspect you may need a same day or very short-notice move, it’s best to contact us as early as possible, even if your plans are not final. We can pencil in provisional arrangements and advise on what is realistic. The more notice we have, the easier it is to secure your preferred time and allocate the right team. That said, we regularly receive and fulfil same day requests made on the morning of the move, subject to availability.
