Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If your completion is brought forward or your buyer needs the keys today, we can organise a structured same day removal from anywhere in Richmond upon Thames. We protect floors, doors and bannisters, and can provide last‑minute packing services where needed.

Renters

Whether you’re facing a sudden notice, a tenancy overlap, or a landlord deadline, we move flats and houses of all sizes quickly and carefully. We’re very used to Richmond’s stairs, tight hallways and parking restrictions, so we plan access in advance wherever possible.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We provide same day tenant clearances, part moves and furniture swaps across Richmond upon Thames. From removing abandoned furniture to re‑setting a property between tenants, we work discreetly and efficiently, with clear paperwork and time slots.

Businesses

For local offices, shops and studios, we offer urgent office removals, relocation of IT and files, and short‑notice moves into storage. We work to minimise downtime: we can move you outside standard hours, including evenings, subject to availability.

Students

Students at local colleges and universities often need quick, low‑stress moves between halls, house shares and storage. Our small move same day service is ideal for a few boxes, suitcases, bikes and bedroom furniture.

Our Same Day Removals Process

Even on urgent moves, we follow a clear, structured process so you always know what is happening and when.

1. Enquiry & Quick Quote

Call us or send an online enquiry outlining where you’re moving from and to, what needs moving, and your timing. For same day requests, we respond as quickly as possible with availability and an estimated cost based on the information you provide. Transparent rates are discussed upfront so there are no surprises.

2. Fast Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most same day removals we carry out a rapid survey by phone or video call. You walk us through each room and any outbuildings so we can gauge the volume, access, parking and any special items. For larger properties in Richmond upon Thames, if time allows, we can send someone out for a brief onsite check.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own belongings in advance, or, where time allows, we can provide same day packing for key items and breakables. We bring removal blankets, mattress and sofa covers, and protective materials to safeguard furniture, banisters and doors. We label key items and rooms to make unloading at the other end more efficient.

4. Loading & Transport

Our team loads your belongings carefully, planning the van so heavier items are secured and fragile pieces are protected. All moves are covered by goods in transit insurance. We choose routes that suit larger vehicles and local traffic conditions across Richmond upon Thames, keeping you updated on arrival times.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing larger items where you want them. We’ll re‑assemble straightforward bed frames and similar items if agreed in advance. Before leaving, we do a final check that everything has come off the vehicle and is where you need it to be.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same day moves are priced fairly, based on:

• Volume of goods (number of rooms / van loads)
• Number of movers required
• Travel distance between addresses
• Access issues – stairs, long walks, restricted parking
• Additional services – packing, dismantling, disposal, out‑of‑hours work

We typically work on a clear hourly rate for smaller moves, and a fixed price for larger home or office removals once we understand the scope. Any congestion charges, parking fees or tolls are explained in advance. There are no hidden extras – everything is agreed before we start.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

On a same day move, cutting corners usually increases stress and risk. Using a professional, fully insured removals company brings several advantages:

• Trained professionals who know how to lift safely, protect furniture and navigate tight Richmond properties
• Correct equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets, covers and properly maintained vehicles
• Reduced risk of damage to belongings and property
• Clear terms, documentation and insurance for peace of mind
• Reliable arrival times – you’re not relying on a friend’s availability or an unreliable van

DIY or informal man‑and‑van arrangements can appear cheaper, but often mean more trips, more breakages and far more stress, especially with fixed deadlines.

Richmond upon Thames Man and Van operates to recognised professional standards for domestic and commercial removals.

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our care and on our vehicles
• Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to third‑party property

• Clear booking confirmations and invoicing for landlords, businesses and agents

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even when time is tight, we prioritise the safety of your belongings and the impact of our work on the local environment.

• Use of reusable removal blankets, mattress and sofa covers to minimise waste
• Efficient route planning around Richmond upon Thames to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Encouraging re‑use of cartons and responsible disposal or donation of unwanted items
• Careful handling to extend the life of your furniture and equipment

Our team treats every home and business with respect – protecting floors where needed, working tidily and keeping noise to a reasonable level, particularly in shared buildings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do same day removals in Richmond upon Thames cost?

Costs depend on the size of your move, distance, access, and how many movers are required. Smaller same day moves are usually charged on an hourly rate, while larger house or office removals are often priced as a fixed quote once we understand the volume and any complications. We’ll ask about the number of rooms, heavy items, stairs and parking, then give you a clear estimate before you book. There are no hidden extras; any parking charges or tolls are explained in advance.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

Same day availability depends on how busy we are and the size of your move. For smaller flats, single rooms or part loads, we can often accommodate same day or very short‑notice bookings. Larger house or office moves may be possible the same day if we have the vehicles and crew free, but sometimes we may recommend an early next‑day slot. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better chance we have of arranging a same day removal that’s properly planned and staffed.

Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?

Yes. All our moves, including urgent same day removals, are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded. We also hold public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to third‑party property. We still handle everything carefully to avoid any issues in the first place. If you have particularly high‑value or unusual items, let us know in advance so we can confirm cover details and discuss any special requirements.

What’s included in your same day removals service?

Our service includes a quick assessment of your move, supply of a suitable vehicle, trained movers, loading, transport and unloading into your new property. We provide blankets and basic protection for furniture as standard. If agreed beforehand, we can add services such as packing, dismantling and re‑assembling simple furniture, or taking items to storage. What’s not included are packing materials by default, specialist disconnection of appliances, and disposal of waste, although we can often help arrange these if requested.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While we do offer flexible man‑and‑van style options, Richmond upon Thames Man and Van operates as a professional removals company. That means fully insured moves, trained staff, proper equipment and planned timings. A casual man‑and‑van might be fine for a few boxes, but for full flats, houses or offices – especially at short notice – you benefit from structured processes, safer lifting, better protection for your belongings and clear accountability. In short, you get a higher level of reliability and care throughout your move.

How far in advance should I book a same day removal?

For genuine same day moves, contact us as early as you possibly can – ideally first thing in the morning. This gives us the best chance to allocate the right team and vehicle, check parking, and talk you through what to expect. If you know a move is likely but the date isn’t confirmed, it’s worth speaking to us in advance so we can pencil you in. For next‑day and non‑urgent moves, a few days’ notice usually secures your preferred time slot.
