Subject to availability, we can usually attend within hours, bringing the right vehicle, protective materials and a trained team to get you moved safely and efficiently, without cutting corners.

• Busy streets and best routes to avoid congestion
• Local parking rules and permit requirements

This local knowledge helps us plan a realistic same day move, reduce delays and protect your belongings and the properties we work in.

Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if your completion date has shifted, you’ve had a late notice from your solicitor, or you simply need to move faster than expected. We handle full and part house moves, keeping disruption to a minimum.

Renters

Perfect for last-minute tenancy changeovers, emergency evictions (working with landlords and agents), or when you’ve underestimated how much you have to move. We regularly support tenants across Kentish Town with urgent, end-of-lease moves.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We work with landlords who need a property cleared quickly between tenants, or require furniture moved in or out at short notice. We can remove unwanted items and position new furniture ready for marketing photos or new occupants.

Businesses

From small offices to shops and studios, we carry out urgent relocations, internal moves and equipment transfers. We understand downtime costs money, so we focus on efficient planning and careful handling of IT, files and stock.

Students

Our same day removals are ideal for students needing quick help between halls, house shares or storage. We’re used to tight timeframes around move-in weekends and exam periods, and can consolidate multiple pick-ups if needed.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Call or message us with your addresses, access details, rough inventory and time constraints. We respond quickly with an honest view on what is achievable the same day and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most same day moves in Kentish Town, we carry out a rapid virtual survey using photos, video or a call. For larger or more complex jobs, we may still attend in person where time allows. The aim is to confirm volume, access, parking and any special requirements so we send the right team and vehicle.

3. Packing & Preparation

If you are ready packed, we focus on protecting furniture and key items. Where time and our schedule permit, we can assist with basic packing of loose items into boxes or crates (this must be agreed when booking). We bring blankets, covers and tools for taking down beds and other simple flat-pack furniture.

4. Loading & Transport

Our professional team loads systematically, securing items with straps and padding to prevent movement in transit. We follow the most efficient route between properties, taking into account current traffic conditions in and around Kentish Town. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the road.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble previously dismantled furniture and place larger pieces where you want them, so you are functional as quickly as possible. Our team works cleanly and respectfully, minimising disturbance to neighbours and shared areas.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same day moves carry a premium compared with advance bookings because we are reshuffling schedules and mobilising quickly. However, we keep our pricing straightforward and competitive for the Kentish Town area.

Costs are typically based on:

• Volume of goods (van size and number of trips)
• Number of movers required
• Travel distance between addresses
• Access difficulty (stairs, long carries, no lift)
• Any additional services (packing, disposal, assembly)
• Time of day and urgency

We provide a clear price before we start, outlining what is included so you can make an informed decision. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (e.g. extended waiting time due to key delays) are explained upfront.

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

When time is tight, it may be tempting to call the cheapest number you can find or try to do it yourself. In practice, this often leads to delays, damage or even cancelled moves. With Man with Van Kentish Town you get:

• Trained movers who handle heavy and awkward items safely
• Proper protective equipment and securing methods
• Fully insured services, giving peace of mind
• Realistic time estimates and structured planning
• Reliable attendance – we turn up when we say we will

DIY or informal operators often lack insurance, experience and the right equipment, which can quickly turn a stressful same day move into a costly problem.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. Every same day removals job is carried out under our standard protections:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are in our vehicle
• Public liability cover – protection against accidental damage to third-party property
• Trained and vetted staff – experienced teams used to working in pressured, time-sensitive situations

We follow industry best practice for lifting, loading and securing loads, and we are happy to explain exactly how your items will be protected during the move.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even on a same day job, careful handling is non-negotiable. We use:

• Furniture blankets and padding for vulnerable surfaces
• Straps and load bars to prevent movement in transit
• Floor protection where needed in communal areas and hallways

We also aim to work sustainably by:

• Reusing strong removal blankets and re-usable crates where possible
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Recycling or donating suitable unwanted items rather than sending everything to landfill (by agreement)

Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases

Emergency House Move

A family in Kentish Town had their completion pulled forward at the last minute. Within hours, we had a two-person team and large van on site, dismantled furniture, loaded a three-bedroom flat and completed the move before their key handover deadline.

Urgent Office Relocation

A small design studio needed to vacate serviced offices by the end of the day. We moved desks, chairs, IT equipment and archive boxes across town, setting them up in their new workspace that evening so they were ready for business the next morning.

Student Room-to-Room Move

A student required urgent help moving between shared houses when a room fell through. We collected belongings from storage and the old address, then delivered everything to the new property the same day, avoiding extra nights in temporary accommodation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does same day removals in Kentish Town cost?

Pricing depends on the size of your move, the distance between addresses, access issues and how quickly you need us. Smaller same day moves may be charged on an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while larger properties are usually quoted as a fixed price. Because same day work is reactive, there may be a premium compared with advance bookings, but we keep our rates fair and transparent. Once we understand your requirements, we will give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate same day requests, but it depends on existing bookings, team availability and the scale of the move. For smaller flats, rooms and partial loads, same day is often achievable. For full house moves, we may need to adjust timings or add an additional vehicle if available. The earlier in the day you contact us, the more likely we can help. Even if same day is not possible, we will offer the closest realistic time slot and explain your options clearly.

What insurance cover is included with your removals service?

All our removals work, including same day moves, is carried out under goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. This is designed to provide sensible protection for typical household and office moves. We will outline our cover levels and terms when you book, and if you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss them individually so you can decide whether to arrange any additional cover of your own.

What is included in a standard same day removals service?

Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, professional removal team, loading at your current property, safe transport, unloading at your new address and basic placement of items in the correct rooms. We also bring protective blankets and securing equipment as standard. Optional extras, such as packing, furniture assembly, or disposal of unwanted items, can often be added if agreed at the time of booking. We will confirm exactly what is included in your quote so you have a clear picture before we arrive.

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

While we offer the flexibility of a man-and-van, our approach is that of a professional removals company. That means trained staff, proper insurance, careful planning and clear communication. Casual man-and-van operators may not have the same level of cover, equipment or experience, which can be risky, particularly on time-critical moves. We treat even small, urgent jobs with the same care as a full removals project, focusing on safe handling, punctuality and respect for both your belongings and the properties we work in.

How far in advance should I book, and can I book on the day?

For the best choice of times and to secure the right size team, we recommend booking as soon as you know your moving date, even for smaller jobs. However, we recognise that urgent moves happen. You can absolutely contact us on the day; if we have space in the schedule, we will fit you in. If not, we will offer the nearest alternative slot and practical advice. Either way, the sooner you get in touch, the more options we can provide.
