What Our Same day Removals Service Includes
Our same day removals service is designed for moves that cannot wait. We prioritise clear communication, realistic timeframes and careful handling of your belongings, even under time pressure.
Typical same day moves include:
- Emergency home moves due to landlord changes, relationship breakdowns or urgent completion dates

- Student moves into or out of Roehampton accommodation
- Urgent office relocations and internal office shuffles
- Part-loads and single items such as beds, sofas, wardrobes and appliances
Where possible, we follow the same structured approach as a planned move, but adapted to the tighter timescale.
Local Expertise in Roehampton
Being based in Roehampton means we know the area, traffic patterns and access points extremely well. This local knowledge is vital for same day removals, where timing matters.
- Familiar with local estates, mansion blocks and new-build developments
- Experience with restricted parking and narrow streets around Roehampton
- Understanding of building access rules for flats, student halls and managed blocks
Because we are truly local, we can often attend very quickly for surveys, collections or urgent moves, minimising waiting time and disruption.

Renters
Perfect for tenants who must vacate quickly due to notice periods, disputes, or changes in circumstances. We are used to dealing with flats, maisonettes and shared houses throughout Roehampton.

From small offices to local shops, we can move desks, chairs, stock and equipment on short notice. We plan around your trading hours to minimise downtime and disruption.
Students
Roehampton has a large student community. We regularly help with urgent moves into or out of halls, private rentals and shared houses, including term-time and end-of-year clear-outs.

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise clearly during your enquiry so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Step-by-Step Same day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online and explain your situation, timescales and addresses. We will ask a few focused questions about access, floors, lift availability and the volume of items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and realistic time estimate for a same day move.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For urgent moves, we typically conduct a quick virtual survey via photos or video call. For larger or more complex moves, we may attend in person if time allows. This helps us allocate the right van size, number of trained movers and any special equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
On same day jobs, many customers have already packed some items. We can assist with last-minute packing, dismantling simple furniture and protecting fragile items. We use quality materials and professional techniques to minimise risk, even when working quickly.
4. Loading & Transport
Our team loads your belongings methodically, securing everything with blankets, straps and appropriate stacking. Your goods are then transported directly to the destination in our well-maintained vehicles under our goods in transit insurance cover.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new property, we unload into the rooms you choose and can reassemble straightforward items we dismantled. We work efficiently but respectfully, protecting floors and walls and following any building rules or time restrictions.
Transparent Pricing for Same day Removals
Same day moves involve extra coordination, but our pricing remains transparent and fair. We typically quote based on:
- Volume of items and size of the move
- Number of movers required
- Distance between properties
- Access difficulty (stairs, long walks, parking restrictions)
- Time of day and urgency
We will confirm whether the move is priced as a fixed job or an hourly rate. All charges are explained clearly in advance, with no hidden extras for basics such as fuel or standard insurance cover.
Why Choose Professional Same day Removals Over DIY
Under time pressure, it can be tempting to hire any casual man-and-van or attempt the move yourself. However, a rushed DIY move often leads to damage, delays and stress. With our trained team and planned approach, you benefit from:
- Experienced handling of heavy and awkward items
- Correct equipment, trolleys and protection materials
- Efficient loading to minimise trips and time
- Fully insured transport for your belongings
- Reliable arrival and clear communication
Our aim is to make a stressful situation manageable and safe, rather than simply turning up with a van.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and a Van Roehampton operates as a professional removals business, not a casual side-line. Your belongings and property are protected by:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover – protecting you and third parties against accidental damage or injury
- Trained moving teams – staff are trained in safe lifting, packing and load securing
We work to recognised removals best practice, even on urgent same day moves, and keep clear records of each job for accountability.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Speed does not mean carelessness. We use padding, blankets and floor protection where needed, and we plan lifting routes to avoid damage to walls, bannisters and doors. Fragile items receive extra wrapping and careful placement in the vehicle.
We also make a conscious effort to work more sustainably by:
- Reusing durable packing materials where appropriate
- Recycling cardboard and plastics from moves
- Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Offering collection of reusable boxes on larger jobs
Real-World Same day Removals Use Cases
Moving House at Short Notice
Sometimes dates change unexpectedly, or another remover cancels. We step in to complete full or partial house moves in Roehampton and nearby areas on the same day, focusing on essentials first if time is tight.
Office and Business Relocations
For small offices and local businesses, we provide rapid-response moves, including evening or weekend work where possible. We label and position desks and equipment to help you get back to work quickly.
Urgent Student and Flat Moves
Students and flat-shares often face last-minute changes. We can move your belongings between halls, shared houses and storage with minimal fuss, even during busy end-of-term periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Roehampton cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your move, the distance between addresses, access conditions and how urgently you need us. Small local moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger properties are usually quoted as a fixed job. Same day work can sometimes carry a premium due to scheduling and staffing demands, but we always explain this clearly in advance. Contact us with a quick summary of your move and we will provide a transparent, no-obligation quote before you decide.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate same day moves, especially within Roehampton, but availability depends on existing bookings and crew capacity. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better your chances. Even when we are fully booked, we may be able to offer a part-service, such as moving priority items first or scheduling for later the same evening. We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable so you can make informed decisions.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property or third parties. Insurance is included as standard in our service; you do not need to arrange separate cover with us. We will explain any key conditions, such as the need to report issues promptly and any limits on particularly high-value or unusual items, so you know exactly where you stand.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard service covers provision of a suitable van, a trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We also include basic protection such as blankets and straps, and standard insurance cover. Where agreed, we can add services like packing assistance, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and clearance of reusable packing materials. We will confirm in writing what is and is not included in your quote, so you have a clear understanding before the move starts.
How is your service different from a casual man-and-van?
While a basic man-and-van may simply provide a driver and vehicle, we operate as a professional removals company. That means trained staff, appropriate equipment, fully insured transport and a structured process, even for same day jobs. We plan the load, protect your belongings, and work with health and safety in mind. You also benefit from clear pricing, booking confirmation and accountability. This reduces risk, particularly on urgent, high-pressure moves where mistakes can be costly.
How far in advance do I need to book a same day move?
For same day removals, you should contact us as early as possible on the day you need to move. Morning enquiries give us more flexibility to allocate a crew and van, especially for larger jobs. If you suspect you might need urgent help, it is worth calling as soon as the situation arises, even if details are not final. For planned moves, booking days or weeks ahead will usually give you a wider choice of time slots and potentially lower pressure on costs.
