Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if your completion date has moved forward, a chain has collapsed and been rebuilt at short notice, or you have been let down by another mover. We can often step in on the day, subject to availability and realistic volumes.
Renters
Perfect for last-minute end-of-tenancy moves, emergency relocations or when a landlord needs the property vacated quickly. We are used to stair-only access, tight hallways and parking challenges common in Chiswick rentals.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We support landlords needing urgent clearances between tenancies, after abandonment or when a property must be turned around quickly. We can remove furniture, boxed belongings and rubbish that is safe to handle, ready for cleaning and inspection.
Businesses
For offices, shops and small businesses, our same day removals service can handle short-notice relocations, urgent moves of equipment or stock, and internal reshuffles where downtime must be kept to a minimum.
Students
Students in halls or shared accommodation often need short-notice help at the end of term or when changing flats. We offer cost-conscious, efficient same day student removals within Chiswick and nearby areas.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Call us as early as possible. We will ask concise questions about addresses, access, number of rooms, larger items and timing. Based on this, we provide a clear estimate and realistic plan for what can be achieved on the day.
2. Rapid Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most same day moves we use a fast virtual survey (video call and photos). Where feasible and nearby, we may send a surveyor. This helps us allocate the right size vehicle, number of porters and protective materials, reducing delays and surprises.
3. Packing & Preparation
For urgent moves, many customers pack themselves. Where time allows, we can provide professional packing on the day, prioritising fragile and high-risk items. We bring boxes, tape, wrap and covers to protect furniture, mattresses and electronics.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team will load systematically, protecting doorways, bannisters and floors where possible. Items are secured in the vehicle using straps and blankets. We then travel directly to your new address, using the most efficient suitable route.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination we unload and place items in the rooms you indicate, subject to time constraints and building rules. We will assemble simple furniture where agreed in advance and remove our used packing materials, leaving you as organised as possible after a same day move.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day removals are priced to reflect the urgency, resources required and any out-of-hours working. We keep pricing straightforward and explain it clearly before you commit.
- Charges based on volume, distance, access and number of movers
- Premium may apply for late notice, evenings, weekends or complex jobs
- All costs agreed in writing (email or message) before the team is dispatched
We do not operate vague, open-ended pricing. If the scope is uncertain, we will outline possible scenarios so you understand how costs may change if the job is larger or longer than described.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
In urgent situations it is tempting to hire a casual van or ask friends to help. The reality is that rushed, unplanned moves are when damage and injuries are most likely.
- Professional lifting and carrying techniques reduce the risk of harm
- Appropriate vehicles with securing systems protect your belongings
- Structured approach avoids last-minute chaos and repeated trips
- Fully insured cover offers protection that ad-hoc helpers cannot provide
By using an established removals company like Chiswick Movers, you gain efficiency, safety and accountability, even when time is short.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We treat urgent moves with the same standards as planned relocations.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are on our vehicle, subject to terms and declared values
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury caused by our operations
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff, briefed before each job, used to working in busy London environments
Policy details are available on request, and we are happy to explain what is and is not covered so you can make informed decisions, particularly for higher-value items.
Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability
Even when working quickly, we never treat belongings as disposable. We use:
- Reusable padded blankets and mattress covers
- Floor and banister protection where time and access allow
- Secure strapping systems in our vans
On sustainability, we prioritise re-usable materials, offer collection and re-use of good quality boxes where practical, and plan routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage. When clearing properties, we aim to separate re-usable items from waste where possible, directing them to appropriate recycling or charity channels by arrangement.
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Emergency House Move in Chiswick
A client had a sudden completion brought forward with less than 24 hours’ notice. We arranged a virtual survey early morning, provided two movers and a vehicle, and completed the move from a two-bed flat to a house within the day, including basic packing of kitchen items.
Urgent Office Relocation
A small business needed to vacate serviced offices by midnight due to a lease issue. We supplied an evening team, packed IT equipment safely, dismantled desks and relocated everything to a new workspace across West London without interrupting the next working day.
Landlord End-of-Tenancy Clearance
A landlord required a same day clearance after a tenant left unexpectedly. We removed remaining furniture and boxed items, leaving the property ready for cleaning and inventory within a few hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does same day removals in Chiswick cost?
Costs depend on how much you are moving, the distance between properties, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and how many movers are needed. Same day work may carry a premium because crews and vehicles must be reallocated at short notice. As a rough guide, a small flat move within Chiswick might start from a few hundred pounds, while larger properties or longer distances will be higher. We will always ask key questions first and provide a clear, written estimate before confirming the booking.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
Availability depends on how many teams and vehicles are already booked when you call. During busy periods, we may be fully committed, but we will always check our schedule carefully and be honest about what is achievable. Calling as early as possible in the day gives the best chance of securing a slot. Even if we cannot complete a full move, we may be able to prioritise essential items or provide part-load assistance, and arrange the balance for the earliest available time.
Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?
Yes. Our goods in transit insurance applies to same day removals in the same way as planned moves, subject to policy limits and terms. We also carry public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. During your enquiry, we will outline the main conditions and can provide documentation on request. For particularly high-value items, we may ask you to declare them in advance so we can confirm appropriate cover or recommend that you arrange additional insurance if required.
What is included in your same day removals service?
As standard, we provide a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, protective equipment, loading, secure transport and unloading to your new address. Depending on time and your instructions, we can also help with packing, basic furniture dismantling and reassembly, and removal of our used packing materials. What is realistically possible on the day will depend on the size of the move and how late the booking is made, but we will confirm exactly what is included before you agree to proceed.
How is your service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be cheaper, but often operates without formal training, structured processes or adequate insurance. We are an established removals company with trained staff, purpose-equipped vehicles, documented procedures and fully insured operations. That means better protection for your belongings, safer lifting and carrying, and clearer accountability if something goes wrong. For urgent moves in particular, having an organised, experienced team on site usually results in a smoother, quicker move and less stress overall.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For same day removals, the answer is simply: as early as you can. If you know a day or two ahead that you may need urgent help, let us know so we can hold provisional capacity. For normal moves, we recommend at least one to two weeks’ notice, especially in busy periods such as month-end and summer. However, we understand that not every move can be planned. We will always do our best to accommodate genuine last-minute requests.
