Same day Removals
Same Day Removals Roehampton
When you need to move today, you need a removals team that can react quickly, stay organised under pressure, and still look after your belongings properly. At Roehampton Movers, our same day removals service in Roehampton is designed for urgent moves that cannot wait until tomorrow.
As a local, owner-managed removals company, we combine flexible scheduling with the standards you expect from a professional, fully insured mover. Whether you are leaving a rental at short notice, dealing with an unexpected completion date, or relocating a small office, we can usually build a workable plan within hours.
What Our Same Day Removals Service Includes
Our same day option is a streamlined version of our full removals service, focused on speed without compromising care. Depending on the size and urgency of your move, we can provide:
- Same day home removals within Roehampton and surrounding areas
- Same day flat moves for renters on tight deadlines
- Same day student removals to and from halls or shared houses
- Same day office and small business moves
- Emergency clear-outs for landlords and property managers
We prioritise clear communication from the moment you call. We will tell you honestly what is achievable the same day, what size vehicle and team we can supply, and how long we expect the job to take based on access, parking, and volume of goods.
Local Expertise in Roehampton
Working in Roehampton every day means we understand the area’s specific challenges: narrow residential roads, controlled parking zones, estate layouts, and building access rules. That local knowledge helps us complete urgent moves more smoothly.
We regularly handle moves in and around:
- Roehampton Village and surrounding residential streets
- Local estates and flats with lift or stair access
- Student accommodation and shared houses
- Small offices and commercial units
Because our teams are local, we can often respond faster than national operators and casual outfits coming in from distance.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If your completion date has moved forward, or a chain issue forces a quick exit, our same day home removals service helps you move essential items safely and on time. We can also offer partial moves, taking priority belongings while the rest follows later.
Renters
We frequently assist tenants facing last-minute notices, contract changes, or the need to exit a property to avoid extra rent. We know how important it is to leave on time and in good order, and we plan your move to meet key collection or hand-back deadlines.
Landlords and Letting Agents
For landlords, our same day property clear-out service can help when you need a property returned to a lettable condition quickly, for example after an abandonment or urgent tenancy changeover. We remove agreed items and can coordinate with cleaners or maintenance teams if needed.
Businesses
For small offices, shops, and studios, downtime is costly. Our same day business removals option is suitable for small to medium moves that must happen at short notice due to lease issues, building works, or urgent relocations.
Students
Roehampton has a large student population, and plans can change quickly. Our same day student removals service supports quick moves between halls, house shares, and storage, with pricing scaled to smaller loads.
What We Can and Cannot Move on the Same Day
Items Typically Included
Subject to access and volume, we can usually move:
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, dryers (properly disconnected)
- Personal items – clothes, books, ornaments, kitchenware
- Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors, audio equipment
- Office furniture – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving
- Boxed archive files and stock for small businesses
Items Usually Excluded or Restricted
For safety, legal, or insurance reasons, some items are excluded from same day moves:
- Hazardous materials – gas bottles, fuel, paint, chemicals
- Large pianos or specialist machinery without prior survey
- Unboxed fragile collections (e.g. loose glassware, delicate art)
- Valuables such as jewellery, cash, important documents (best carried by you)
- Pets and live animals
If you are unsure about a particular item, tell us at enquiry stage so we can confirm what is possible and what preparation may be needed.
Our Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Call us as early in the day as possible. We will ask key questions about your property, access, number of rooms, and any heavy or fragile items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining what we can realistically achieve that day.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most same day moves, we carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or video. For larger properties where time allows, we may send a surveyor. The aim is to confirm vehicle size, team numbers, and any access or parking challenges before we arrive.
3. Packing & Preparation
Where possible, we ask clients to have items boxed and ready. However, we can also provide a same day packing service for smaller moves or priority rooms. We bring boxes, tape, and wrapping materials, and we use professional techniques to protect fragile items and furniture.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team protects floors, handles and bannisters where needed, and loads the vehicle systematically. Furniture is wrapped and secured with straps and protective blankets. We then transport your belongings directly to your new address or to storage, with real-time updates if required.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing larger pieces of furniture where you want them. Basic reassembly of standard items (such as bed frames) can usually be included if agreed in advance, even on same day moves.
Transparent Same Day Removals Pricing
Same day moves often involve tighter scheduling and more intensive planning, but our pricing remains straightforward. We typically base costs on:
- Volume of goods and number of rooms
- Access and floor level at both addresses
- Distance between properties
- Size of team and vehicle required
- Any packing or dismantling services needed
We will always give you a clear price before we start, with no hidden extras. If circumstances change during the job, we explain options and any cost implications before proceeding.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
In urgent situations, it can be tempting to call the first cheap number you find or to attempt the move yourself. However, a rushed DIY move or an unregulated man-and-van can easily lead to damage, delays, or disputes with landlords and buyers.
With Roehampton Movers you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to move furniture safely and efficiently
- Proper tools and equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps, and covers
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
- Public liability cover for peace of mind in shared buildings
- Clear paperwork and written confirmations
This reduces the risk of injury, property damage, or lost items, which can be particularly costly and stressful when time is already tight.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Roehampton Movers operates to recognised industry standards, even for last-minute work. All same day removals are carried out by professional in-house teams, not casual labourers.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved, subject to terms and declared values.
- Public liability insurance – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are trained in lifting techniques, furniture protection, and safe loading.
We will explain our cover clearly and can provide documentation on request so you know exactly where you stand.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Urgent does not have to mean careless. We use the same protective methods on same day moves as we do on planned relocations:
- Furniture blankets and covers for key pieces
- Mattress and sofa protection where required
- Floor and banister protection in high-traffic areas
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:
- Reuse durable packing materials
- Offer returnable crate and box options
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Moving House at Short Notice
Completion dates can change unexpectedly. We regularly support homeowners in Roehampton who need to vacate their property on the same day or move essential items quickly to avoid storage or hotel stays.
Office Relocation Under Time Pressure
Lease deadlines, building access changes, or unplanned refurbishments can all trigger urgent office moves. Our team can move key equipment, files, and furniture first, with non-essential items following later if needed.
Urgent Tenant Moves and Clear-Outs
From last-minute student departures to landlords needing a fast turnaround between tenancies, our same day service helps get properties emptied, cleaned, and ready for the next stage more quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Roehampton cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your move, access, distance and how quickly you need us on site. Same day moves can be slightly higher than pre-booked work because of scheduling and staffing pressures, but we always provide a clear quote before you commit. For small flats or student moves, we may charge an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Larger homes and offices are usually priced as a fixed job. Contact us with basic details and we will give you an honest estimate straight away.
Can you always offer same day availability?
Availability depends on how busy we are and the size of your move. We can often accommodate small to medium same day moves in Roehampton, especially on weekdays, but larger houses may require at least part of a team to be scheduled in advance. The earlier in the day you call, the more options we usually have. If we cannot complete everything same day, we will discuss phased solutions, such as moving priority items first and returning for the remainder as soon as possible.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Our goods in transit insurance applies to same day removals in exactly the same way as for planned moves, subject to policy terms. Your items are covered while being loaded, transported and unloaded, provided they meet our packing and declaration requirements. We also carry public liability cover for your protection and that of third parties. We are happy to explain cover limits, exclusions, and how best to pack or declare higher value items so you have complete clarity before we start.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard same day service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained team, loading, transport, and unloading into your new property. We bring basic protection such as blankets, straps and covers. Packing, dismantling, and reassembly can usually be added, depending on time and the scale of your move. We will confirm exactly what is included in your quote so there are no surprises: number of movers, estimated hours, and any additional services agreed, such as packing materials or disposal of unwanted items where permitted.
How is your service different from a standard man-and-van?
While some man-and-van operators do a good job, many work without formal training, insurance or clear terms. Roehampton Movers provides a structured service with professional, uniformed staff, appropriate insurance and proper equipment. We plan your move, protect your property, and keep you informed throughout. If something unexpected happens, we have processes in place to deal with it fairly. That level of reliability is especially important when you are moving at short notice and cannot afford mistakes or delays.
How far in advance should I book if I think I might need a same day move?
If you suspect a same day move is likely, contact us as soon as you can, even if dates are not confirmed. We can pencil you in, discuss likely scenarios, and explain what we will need from you if the move goes ahead. For genuine last-minute situations, call us as early in the day as possible; we will check live availability and propose the most realistic plan. Early contact usually means more flexible options and may help keep costs down.
