Same day Removals

Same day Removals Kingston Upon Thames

When you need to move today, you need a removals team that can respond quickly, stay calm under pressure and still look after your belongings properly. At Kingston Upon Thames Movers, our same day removals service is designed for urgent, last‑minute and time‑critical moves across Kingston upon Thames and the surrounding areas.

As an experienced local removals company, we understand the layouts, restrictions and traffic patterns around Kingston town centre, Surbiton, Norbiton, New Malden, Chessington, Hampton and beyond. That local knowledge means we can plan efficient routes, deal with parking and access issues, and still deliver a smooth, professional move at short notice.

What Is a Same Day Removals Service?

Same day removals is a fast‑response moving service where we collect and transport your belongings on the very same day that you contact us, subject to availability. It is aimed at customers who cannot wait for a standard pre‑booked move date.

Depending on the size of your move and the time of your call, we can usually offer:

• Emergency flat and house moves
• Same day student moves into or out of halls or shared houses
• Urgent office or shop relocations within Kingston upon Thames
• Part‑load and single‑item moves for furniture and appliances
• Short‑notice landlord and estate agent clearances

Every same day move is handled by a trained, professional crew using proper removals vehicles, protective equipment and industry‑standard handling techniques.

Local Expertise in Kingston Upon Thames

Operating from within Kingston upon Thames, we carry out urgent removals every week in areas such as:

• Kingston town centre and riverside developments
• Norbiton and Kingston Hill
• Surbiton, Berrylands and Tolworth
• New Malden and Coombe
• Chessington and Hook

We are familiar with local parking controls, narrow residential streets, loading bays for flats, and access arrangements for Kingston University accommodation. This helps us minimise delays and get your move completed as efficiently as possible, even at short notice.

Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

For homeowners facing a last‑minute completion date change or a chain that suddenly comes together, our same day service provides a reliable option when there is no time to spare. We can scale up to multiple vehicles and porters for larger properties.

Renters

If you need to vacate a rented property urgently due to tenancy changes, landlord requests or personal circumstances, we can help you move out quickly while still protecting your deposit by avoiding damage to the property.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We support landlords and agents with urgent clearances, end‑of‑tenancy moves and quick turnarounds between tenancies. We can remove and transport furniture, white goods and boxed contents to storage or a new address.

Businesses

From small offices to retail units, our same day business removals service helps you relocate equipment, files, stock and furniture with minimal downtime, whether you are moving across Kingston or to nearby commercial areas.

Students

We regularly assist Kingston University students with last‑minute moves into halls, private rentals or back home. We handle typical student items such as desks, beds, clothes, tech equipment and boxed personal belongings in one efficient trip.

What We Can and Cannot Move on the Same Day

Items Typically Included

• Household furniture: beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs, cabinets
• Appliances: washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted), cookers (disconnected)
• Personal and household items: boxes, suitcases, clothes, books, kitchenware
• Office items: desks, chairs, filing cabinets, computers, printers and archive boxes
• Student belongings: boxes, small furniture, bicycles, monitors and TVs

Items We Cannot Move or May Restrict

• Hazardous or illegal items (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, firearms, etc.)
• Open containers of paint, solvents or building materials
• Pets and live animals
• Valuables such as cash, jewellery or important documents (we advise you to carry these personally)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will clarify during the enquiry and survey stage.

Our Same Day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quick Quote

Call us as early as possible. We will ask a few key questions about your current address, destination, size of property, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and your timeframe. Based on this, we provide a clear guide price and confirm whether same day slots are available.

2. Fast Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most same day moves, we carry out a rapid virtual survey by video call or photos, so we can see what needs moving and allocate the right vehicle and crew. For larger or more complex properties, we may send a surveyor if time allows.

3. Packing & Preparation

If you are already packed, we will focus on protecting furniture and large items. Where needed and where time permits, we can offer same day packing assistance for essentials. We use removal blankets, mattress bags, wardrobe cartons and other materials to protect your belongings and the property.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained removals team carefully loads your items, securing everything properly in the vehicle with straps and blankets. We plan an appropriate route based on Kingston traffic and any timing restrictions, keeping you updated if there are delays outside our control.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. We work efficiently but safely, taking care around doorways, stairs and flooring. At the end, we carry out a quick walk‑through with you to ensure nothing has been missed.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Moves

Same day removals are priced fairly based on the same principles as our standard moves, with an allowance for urgent scheduling and resource changes. Our quotes typically consider:

• Volume of items and size of property
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Distance between addresses
• Access challenges (stairs only, long carries, parking restrictions)
• Any additional services such as packing or furniture dismantling

We provide a clear breakdown before you confirm the booking, so you understand what is included. There are no hidden charges: any potential extras, such as congestion or parking costs, are discussed upfront where known.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man‑and‑Van?

When you are under time pressure, cutting corners can quickly lead to damage, delays or even injury. Choosing a professional, fully insured removals company brings several advantages:

• Experienced crews used to planning and executing urgent moves
• Proper vehicles with equipment to protect and secure your belongings
• Efficient loading and unloading, reducing the number of trips required
• Accountability, with clear paperwork and confirmed timescales
• Insurance cover that most casual operators cannot provide

Man‑and‑van services can appear cheaper, but often take longer, make multiple trips, and lack the protections and standards of a dedicated removals firm.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Kingston Upon Thames Movers operates to recognised industry standards. We are fully insured for your peace of mind, including:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values.
• Public liability cover – protecting you and third parties in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury caused by our work.

Our teams are trained in safe lifting techniques, vehicle loading, and the handling of fragile and bulky items. We use appropriate protective materials and follow clear procedures for each stage of your move, even when working to tight deadlines.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Urgent does not mean careless. We approach every same day removal with the same attention to detail as a pre‑planned move. This includes:

• Using clean removal blankets, furniture covers and mattress protectors
• Protecting doors, bannisters and floors where needed
• Careful stacking and securing of items in transit

We also consider our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:

• Reuse durable packing materials such as crates and blankets
• Encourage customers to use recyclable boxes and minimise waste
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions

Real‑World Same Day Removals Use Cases

Emergency House Move in Kingston

A homeowner’s completion date was brought forward at 24 hours’ notice. We carried out a virtual survey, allocated two vehicles and a four‑person crew, and moved a three‑bed house from Kingston Hill to Surbiton on the same day, completing by early evening.

Last‑Minute Office Relocation

A small design agency in Kingston town centre needed to vacate a shared workspace quickly. We relocated their desks, chairs, computers and archive boxes to a new office in Teddington in a single, well‑planned visit, minimising disruption to their operations.

Student End‑of‑Term Move

Several Kingston University students required an urgent move out of halls at the end of term. We scheduled a same day service with a shared load, collecting from multiple addresses and delivering to family homes and storage units across South West London.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a same day removal in Kingston upon Thames cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your move, distance, access and how many movers and vehicles are required. Same day services may be slightly higher than pre‑booked moves because we have to rearrange schedules and allocate crews at short notice. We usually price on a fixed quotation rather than an hourly guess, so you know where you stand. During your enquiry, we will ask a few quick questions or carry out a short virtual survey and then provide a clear, no‑obligation price before you commit.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

Availability depends on our schedule, the time of your call and the scale of your move. For smaller flats, student rooms and partial loads, we can often respond the same day if you contact us early. Larger house moves may require more planning or an early‑next‑day option. We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable and never over‑promise. Even when we cannot move everything today, we may be able to move essentials first and complete the remainder shortly afterwards.

What insurance cover do you provide for same day moves?

Our same day removals are covered by the same insurance protections as our standard services. We carry goods in transit insurance for items while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms, and public liability cover for accidental damage or injury linked to our work. We handle your belongings with care, but insurance provides an extra layer of protection. We are happy to explain the key terms, limits and any exclusions before you book, and we recommend that high‑value items are highlighted in advance.

What is included in your same day removals service?

Our service includes a rapid assessment of your move, professional removals vehicles, a trained crew, loading, safe transport and unloading at your new address. We provide basic protection such as blankets and covers as standard. If time allows, we can also offer additional services such as packing assistance, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and removal of unwanted items to a recycling centre by prior agreement. All inclusions and any optional extras are clearly set out in your quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day.

How is a professional removals service different from a man‑and‑van?

While some man‑and‑van operators do a good job, many work informally, without proper insurance, trained staff or the equipment needed for larger or more delicate moves. As a professional removals company, we conduct surveys, plan access, allocate the right crew size and vehicles, and use protective materials as standard. We are accountable for our work and follow set procedures to reduce the risk of damage or delay. This is particularly important for same day moves, where efficient organisation and reliable support make a real difference.

How far in advance should I book, and can I schedule for tomorrow instead?

For urgent moves, contact us as soon as you know you need to move. The earlier in the day you call, the more likely we can accommodate a same day slot. If we are fully booked, we will usually be able to offer a first‑thing‑tomorrow solution instead, which still provides a rapid turnaround but allows more time to plan and prepare. For non‑urgent moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead to secure your preferred date and benefit from wider time slot options.
