Who Our Same Day Removals in Putney Are For

Homeowners

If your completion date has changed at the last minute or you need to be out sooner than expected, our same day removal teams can step in to move your household safely and efficiently.

Renters

Facing a sudden notice, tenancy overlap, or last-minute key collection? We regularly help tenants in Putney move on short notice, even from high-floor flats and shared houses.

Landlords and Letting Agents

We work with landlords who need rapid property clearances, end-of-tenancy removals, or emergency moves due to damage, leaks or repossession. We can remove furniture, appliances and tenants’ belongings as instructed.

Businesses

From small offices to high street shops, we support same day office removals and urgent stock moves. We understand the need to minimise downtime and keep your operations running.

Students

Students often need quick, affordable moves at short notice. We provide safe transport for suitcases, desks, computers, bikes and personal belongings between halls, shared houses and storage.

What We Can and Cannot Move on the Same Day

Items Typically Included

• Everyday household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• Boxes, bags and plastic crates
• Domestic appliances (freestanding) – fridges, freezers, washing machines
• Office furniture, filing, IT equipment and small machinery
• Personal possessions, books, clothing, toys and ornaments
• TVs, audio systems, PCs and other electronics (properly packed)

Items Usually Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement

• Hazardous materials – fuel, paint, chemicals, gas cylinders
• Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
• Unboxed loose items of high value (e.g. jewellery, cash, important documents)
• Very large safes, pianos or specialist items without prior assessment
• Animals or live plants in poor condition

For unusual or high-value items, we will advise what is possible as part of your quote. Being clear upfront helps us send the right vehicle, equipment and people on the day.

Our Same Day Removals Process

Even when time is tight, we follow a structured process to keep you informed and in control.

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us as early as you can. We will ask key questions about your property, access, volume of belongings and timings. For same day moves we aim to provide a clear, fixed quote as quickly as possible, usually over the phone or by email, based on the information and images you provide.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex moves, we may propose a short virtual survey (video call with a move coordinator) to assess access and volume accurately. For smaller or straightforward jobs, detailed photos and a clear list of items are often sufficient. In some urgent cases, we may conduct a rapid onsite check if time and location allow.

3. Packing & Preparation

Depending on availability and time, we can offer:

• Self-packed moves – you have already packed, we load and move
• Partial packing – we pack fragile or awkward items only
• Full same day packing and move – subject to the size of the job

We supply professional packing materials where required and protect furniture with covers, blankets and wrapping to minimise the risk of damage.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained removal team will arrive within the agreed time window, introduce themselves and walk through the job with you. We then safely load your belongings using trolleys, dollies and lifting equipment where needed. Everything is secured in the vehicle using straps and protective blankets before we travel directly to your new address or storage facility.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload carefully, placing items into the rooms you specify. We can position furniture, reassemble simple items (if agreed in advance), and ensure you have access to essential boxes and belongings before we leave.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same day moves often involve tight schedules and more complex coordination, but that does not mean unclear pricing. We explain all costs upfront, typically based on:

• Volume of goods and size of property
• Number of movers required
• Distance between addresses
• Time of day, access constraints and any waiting time
• Additional services such as packing, materials and dismantling

You receive a clear written quote before we start. We do not hide extra charges in small print. If anything changes on the day, we discuss the options with you before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van

A same day move is stressful enough without worrying about vehicles, parking or whether helpers will turn up. Compared with DIY or a casual man-and-van, a professional removals company offers:

• Trained staff who know how to handle heavy, awkward and fragile items
• Appropriate vehicles with securing points, ramps and protective equipment
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Documented procedures and clear terms, not informal arrangements
• Respect for your property, neighbours and building rules

Cutting corners with a same day move often leads to damage, injury, delays or extra costs. Using a professional team keeps the process controlled and predictable.

Insurance and Professional Standards

At Putney Movers, we take our responsibilities seriously. Every same day removal is covered by:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our care
• Public liability cover for damage or injury caused by our activities
• Trained, uniformed teams experienced in UK removals best practice

We follow industry-standard loading, lifting and packing methods and only use vehicles that are properly maintained and equipped for removals work. This is particularly important on urgent jobs, where there is more pressure on time.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even when the move is urgent, we do not compromise on care:

• Use of blankets, floor protection and door covers where needed
• Cautious handling of fragile and high-value items
• Safe dismantling and reassembly of agreed furniture

We also aim to work responsibly:

• Reusing sturdy packing materials wherever possible
• Offering collection and recycling of unwanted items by arrangement
• Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use

Real-World Same Day Removal Scenarios

Moving House at Short Notice

Completion dates can change unexpectedly. We frequently help Putney homeowners and renters move on the same day they receive their keys or when chains suddenly reconnect. Our teams can handle full or partial household contents depending on your timeline.

Urgent Office Relocations

From relocating a small office to shifting stock between locations, we support businesses that need to move quickly to keep trading. We can move desks, chairs, files and IT equipment within the same building or to a new address, often outside office hours to minimise disruption.

Last-Minute Clearances and Evictions

Landlords and agents sometimes require a property cleared the same day for safety, legal or maintenance reasons. We can remove furniture and belongings, taking them either to an agreed storage facility, alternative address or recycling centre as instructed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a same day removal in Putney cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of the move, distance, access and how quickly you need to be out. Same day moves can be slightly higher than standard removals because of the short notice and scheduling demands. We usually price based on the number of movers, vehicle size and expected hours, plus any packing or materials. Once we understand what needs moving and where, we provide a clear, itemised quote before work starts so you know exactly what to expect.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate genuine same day requests, but availability depends on our schedule, the size of the job and the time you contact us. Smaller moves are often easier to fit in at short notice. For larger properties, we may recommend a staged move, tackling the most urgent items first. The earlier in the day you call, the better chance we have of arranging a suitable team and vehicle for you.

Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?

Yes. Your items are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles and under our care, subject to our terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or injury linked to our work. We will explain the cover limits and any exclusions when you book. For very high-value or unusual items, we may suggest additional arrangements or ask you to notify your own insurer.

What exactly is included in your same day removals service?

Our service always includes a vehicle, a trained removals team and safe loading, transport and unloading of your belongings between addresses. Subject to time and prior agreement, we can also provide packing materials, packing of fragile items, dismantling and reassembly of simple furniture, and disposal of unwanted items. Parking, congestion and toll charges are discussed in advance where relevant. Before we confirm your booking, we set out clearly what is included so there are no surprises.

How is a professional removal different from a man-and-van?

A professional removals service offers more structure, protection and accountability. Our teams are trained in lifting and packing, our vehicles are equipped specifically for removals, and your belongings are covered by appropriate insurance. We carry the right tools, materials and protection for properties and furniture. With many informal man-and-van services, you may not know who will turn up, how experienced they are, or what happens if something goes wrong. For same day moves, reliability is especially important.

How far in advance do I need to book a same day move?

For a true same day service, contact us as early as possible in the morning, or as soon as you know you need to move. This gives us the best chance of allocating the right team and vehicle. If you know you have an important date approaching but timings are uncertain, it can help to let us know in advance so we can plan for potential short-notice work. We will always be honest about what we can safely achieve within the time available.
