Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If your completion date has moved unexpectedly or your original removals booking has fallen through, we can step in at short notice. We handle everything from smaller house moves to partial moves such as clearing a garage, loft or storage unit.
Renters
Last-minute notice from a landlord, a change in tenancy dates, or the need to move out swiftly can all create pressure. Our same day removals help renters vacate on time, avoid penalties, and move safely into their new place without rushing or risking damage.
Landlords
We assist landlords who need properties cleared quickly between lets, after tenant changes, or in emergency situations. From single-item removals through to full property clearances (within our accepted item list), we work efficiently to return your property to a lettable standard.
Businesses
For small businesses, shops, and offices in Kew, downtime costs money. We provide same day removals for emergency relocations, urgent internal moves, or quick transport of equipment, stock, and archived files between sites or to storage.
Students
Students often need flexible and short-notice moves – especially at the beginning or end of term. We offer affordable, smaller-scale same day moves ideal for room-to-room or flat-to-flat relocations, with the option to share van space where appropriate.
What We Can Move on the Same Day
Our vans and teams are set up for a wide variety of items typically required in a same day move.
Included Items
- Furniture: beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs, bookcases
- Household goods: boxes, clothing, kitchenware, small appliances
- White goods (where access allows): washing machines, fridges, freezers
- Office items: desks, filing cabinets, computers, printers, boxed files
- Personal items: suitcases, sports equipment, books, artwork (well packed)
- Student belongings: bags, boxes, small furniture, electronics
Excluded or Restricted Items
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, our same day removals service does not include:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
- Loose cash, jewellery, or high-value personal documents (these should be carried by you)
- Very large commercial machinery or equipment requiring specialist lifting
- Animals or live plants in poor condition
- Items that are not safely accessible or cannot be moved without structural alterations
If you are unsure whether we can move a particular item on the same day, we will clarify this during your enquiry and survey.
Our Same Day Removals Process
Even when time is short, a structured process makes a big difference. We follow clear steps to keep your move organised and safe.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online and explain what needs to be moved, from where, and to where. We will ask a few key questions about property access, floors, lifts, parking, and volume of items. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and confirm whether same day availability is possible.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most same day moves we use a quick virtual survey – via video call or detailed photos – to assess access, item size, and any special handling requirements. For larger or more complex removals, and where timings allow, we may carry out a brief onsite survey in Kew to plan van size, crew numbers, and parking arrangements.
3. Packing & Preparation
Ideally, items should be packed and ready before our team arrives. Where agreed in advance, we can supply professional packing services, including boxes and wrapping materials. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, and we can disassemble and reassemble straightforward items such as bed frames and tables, provided this is discussed when booking.
4. Loading & Transport
On arrival, our team carries out a quick walk-through to confirm the plan. We load systematically, using blankets, straps and trolleys to protect and secure your belongings. Vans are loaded with weight distributed safely, and we choose routes around Kew and beyond to minimise delays while driving within speed limits and regulations.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just to the doorway. We place larger items in position where possible, helping you get functional quickly. Before leaving, we do a final check with you to ensure nothing has been missed and all agreed work is complete.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Last-minute does not have to mean unclear pricing. Our charges are explained upfront and agreed before we start.
Pricing is based on:
- Volume of items and size of van required
- Number of movers needed
- Travel distance between addresses
- Access complexity (stairs, no lift, long carries, awkward parking)
- Any additional services, such as packing or dismantling
We typically work on a fixed price for the described job, or a clear hourly rate with minimum hours. Any potential extra charges (such as extended waiting time due to key delays) are explained in advance, so you can make an informed decision.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Instead of DIY
DIY moves or informal man-and-van arrangements can appear cheaper at first glance, but there are real risks:
- Lack of goods in transit insurance or public liability cover
- Inadequate equipment, leading to damage or injury
- Poor planning and time overruns, especially on busy roads around Kew
- No clear contract or accountability if things go wrong
By choosing a professional same day removals company like Man with Van Kew, you benefit from structured planning, trained staff, protected items, and accountable service standards – even when everything has to happen quickly.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Every same day removals job is covered by:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our care
- Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property
- Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting and handling techniques
We also follow clear procedures for incident reporting and resolution. In the unlikely event that something does go wrong, you have the reassurance of a documented process and proper insurance backing.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on the busiest same day moves, we do not cut corners on care.
- Furniture is wrapped or covered to prevent scuffs and scratches
- Floors and bannisters are protected where required
- Vans are loaded securely to avoid movement in transit
We also work to minimise our environmental impact by:
- Reusing protective blankets and durable packing materials
- Planning routes efficiently around Kew and beyond
- Encouraging customers to reuse or recycle boxes where possible
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Emergency Home Moves
Sometimes circumstances change overnight – a chain collapses, dates shift, or a previous mover cancels. We help Kew residents complete their move safely on the original day, preventing storage and accommodation issues.
Urgent Office or Shop Relocations
When a lease ends unexpectedly or urgent works are needed, businesses often have to move faster than planned. We relocate essential equipment, stock and documents so you can keep operating with minimal disruption.
Last-Minute Student Moves
Students who need to leave halls or shared housing quickly can rely on us for a practical, budget-conscious same day service. We move belongings between accommodation, to parents’ homes, or into storage as needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Kew cost?
Costs depend on the size of your move, access, distance and the number of movers required. Smaller same day moves, such as a studio flat or a partial house move, may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Larger moves are usually priced as a fixed quote, based on the information you provide and our survey. We always explain what is included in the price before you confirm, so there are no surprises on the day.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate genuine same day requests, but availability depends on current bookings and the size of the job. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better the chance we can fit you in. For very large or complex moves, we may suggest a next-day solution with partial same day support, such as moving essentials first. We will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve within the time available.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles and under our control, subject to policy terms and conditions. Our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property while we are working on-site. We will outline the key limits and exclusions when you book. For particularly high-value or fragile items, we may recommend additional packing measures or that you carry certain valuables personally for extra peace of mind.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard same day service includes a suitable vehicle, one or more professional movers, loading, secure transport, and unloading to rooms of your choice. We also provide protective blankets and securing straps. Additional services such as packing, supply of boxes, and furniture dismantling or reassembly can be added by agreement at the quoting stage. Parking arrangements and any access permissions need to be organised in advance, but we are happy to advise what is required.
How is your service different from a casual man-and-van?
While a casual man-and-van can help with very small or low-risk jobs, our service is structured and supported by insurance and trained staff. We provide clear quotes, written confirmation, and a planned process for your move, even when it is same day. Our vehicles are equipped for removals, not just general transport, and our teams are experienced in handling furniture, white goods and fragile items. This reduces the risk of delays, damage or disputes, and gives you greater protection overall.
How far in advance do I need to book a same day removal?
For a same day move, contact us as early as you can – ideally first thing in the morning. This gives us the best chance to schedule a team, arrange the right van, and carry out a quick survey. If we cannot fit you in the same day, we will offer the closest possible alternative and may be able to move essential items immediately. For planned moves, booking a few days or weeks in advance will usually give you more flexibility on times and pricing.
