Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If your completion date has moved forward, your original remover has cancelled, or you need to vacate urgently, we can step in at short notice. We handle anything from small partial loads to full house moves, carefully protecting furniture, appliances and personal belongings.
Renters
Facing a last-minute checkout, landlord deadline or unexpected notice? Our same day team can clear your flat or house quickly while still taking care to avoid damage and extra charges. We are used to working with tight time windows for inventories and key handovers.

We regularly support landlords and agents needing rapid turnaround between tenancies. This can include same day removals of abandoned items, partial clearances, or moving stored furniture back into a property ready for new tenants.
Businesses
For small offices and local businesses, we offer urgent relocations, internal moves and equipment transfers. We understand the need to minimise downtime, protect IT equipment and keep disruption to staff and customers as low as possible.
Students
Students in Kingston upon Thames often need quick help moving between halls, private rentals or storage. We provide affordable, efficient moves for single rooms and shared houses, including evening and short-notice jobs where availability allows.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Call us or send an online enquiry as early as possible in the day. We will ask a few key questions: addresses, access details, property size, number of items and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation price indication and confirm whether same day slots are available.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For same day work, we usually carry out a rapid virtual survey using photos, video or a quick video call. This lets us assess volume, access and any dismantling needed. For larger or more complex moves where time allows, we may send a surveyor or team leader to make sure the right vehicle and team are allocated.
3. Packing & Preparation
Ideally, your items should be boxed and ready to go for same day collections. Where needed and if time allows, we can supply packing assistance, basic dismantling of furniture (such as bed frames) and wrapping of delicate pieces using blankets and protective covers. We focus on the essentials to get you moved safely within the available window.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team will carefully load your belongings, using blankets, straps and trolleys to prevent damage to items and property. We work efficiently but never recklessly. Once loaded, we travel directly to your new address or storage facility, using sensible routes based on current traffic in and around Kingston upon Thames.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing larger items where you want them so you can settle in more quickly. We will reassemble any furniture we dismantled, subject to the agreed service. Before we leave, we carry out a quick walk-through with you to ensure nothing has been missed.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day removals are priced fairly based on:
- Volume of goods and size of vehicle required
- Number of movers needed
- Collection and delivery locations
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, distance to van)
- Any packing or dismantling required
- Time of day and urgency
We provide a clear cost breakdown in advance, with either a fixed price for the job or an agreed hourly rate, depending on the nature of the move. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional charges (such as congestion charges, parking fees or extra stops) are explained before you confirm your booking.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
When everything has to happen today, trying to organise a DIY move can quickly become stressful and risky. Hiring a casual van without proper equipment, insurance or experience often leads to damage, injuries or delays.
By choosing a professional same day removals company like Kingston upon Thames Man and Van, you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to handle heavy and delicate items safely
- Correct equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys and tools for dismantling
- Fully insured transport with goods in transit cover
- Reliable, scheduled arrival and realistic completion times
- Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and property
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and so is your peace of mind. All our removals vehicles carry goods in transit insurance, protecting your items while they are being moved. We also hold public liability cover, giving added reassurance if anything unexpected happens in or around your property.
Our teams are trained in safe lifting techniques, packing basics and property protection. We follow clear procedures for handling fragile items, using covers on doors and floors where appropriate, and working respectfully in shared spaces and communal areas.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on same day moves, we do not cut corners on care and protection. We use padded blankets, mattress covers where available, and secure strapping in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We treat your home or office as if it were our own, taking care around walls, floors and doorways.
We also take a practical approach to sustainability:
- Reusing durable packing materials where safe and appropriate
- Planning routes to minimise unnecessary mileage
- Consolidating part loads where it will not affect service quality
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Emergency House Move
A family in Kingston upon Thames had their original mover cancel on completion day. We arranged a same day survey, deployed a suitably sized team and completed the full house move that afternoon, allowing them to meet their legal obligations and move into their new home without further delay.
Last-Minute Office Relocation
A small business needed to vacate serviced offices at very short notice. We provided same day removals for desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment, coordinating with building management and ensuring everything was set up at the new premises before staff arrived the next morning.
Student End-of-Tenancy Move
A student in Kingston upon Thames had to move out of a shared house on the day their tenancy ended. We collected their belongings, transported them to a local storage facility, and helped organise the load so they could easily access essentials later.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals cost?
The cost of a same day removal depends on the size of the load, the distance between properties, access conditions and how many movers are required. Urgent, same day bookings can be slightly higher than standard advance bookings because we have to reorganise schedules and allocate staff at short notice. We will always give you a clear price before you commit, either as a fixed quote or an hourly rate with a minimum charge. There are no hidden extras, and any potential additional costs are explained upfront.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate same day requests, but availability depends on how busy we are and the size of your move. Smaller local jobs are usually easier to fit in at short notice than full house moves. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better the chance we can help. If we cannot complete the entire move same day, we may offer a partial solution, such as moving the most urgent items or providing an evening slot where feasible.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Our same day removals are covered by the same insurance protections as our standard services. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are in our vehicles, and public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property. As with all insurance, there are reasonable conditions and exclusions, which we are happy to explain before you book. You should also check whether your own home or business policy provides additional cover for moves.
What is included in a same day removals service?
Our standard same day service includes a vehicle of suitable size, a professional team of movers, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We supply blankets and straps to protect and secure your items. Where time allows, we can also provide basic dismantling and reassembly of furniture and limited packing assistance. Packing materials are not always included as standard for urgent jobs, but we can often bring boxes and tape if requested. All inclusions will be clearly set out in your quote before you confirm.
How is a removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A full removals service goes beyond simply turning up with a van. As a professional removals company, we provide trained staff, proper equipment, insurance cover, planning, and clear communication throughout. We assess access, allocate the right vehicle size, and work to an agreed schedule. A casual man-and-van may be cheaper initially, but often lacks formal insurance, experience with complex moves, or the manpower needed for larger properties. For urgent, same day moves where there is little room for error, a structured removals service offers far greater reliability and peace of mind.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For same day removals, you should contact us as soon as you know you need to move. Calling early in the morning gives us the best chance to reorganise routes and allocate a team. For non-urgent moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as month-end and summer. However, we understand that not all moves can be planned. Even if it is already midday or later, it is still worth calling us – we will always be honest about what is achievable on the day.
