Who Our Same Day Removals Are For
Homeowners
If your completion date has been brought forward or your original removals company has let you down, we can step in quickly. We move full houses, part loads and last‑minute overflow from your main removal.
Renters
Facing a sudden notice period, end of tenancy, or a landlord deadline? Our team can help you clear the property on the same day, avoiding penalties and extra rent days.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We support landlords needing same day clearances or tenant changeovers. We can remove furniture, bagged belongings and rubbish (within our exclusions), ready for cleaning or new tenants.
Businesses
From small offices to shop units and studios, we handle same day business relocations, equipment moves and urgent stock transfers, with minimal downtime and careful handling of IT and office furniture.
Students
Missed your move‑out date, or need to change accommodation quickly? Our same day student removals are ideal for shared houses and halls, with flexible pricing for smaller loads.

Our Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Call us or send a message with your collection and delivery addresses, access details, and what you need moved. For same day work we respond as fast as possible with an estimated arrival window and a clear price structure so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Fast Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most same day removals we carry out a brief virtual survey using photos or video call. This lets us judge the volume, access, parking needs and any dismantling required. For very large or complex jobs, we may send someone out if time allows.
3. Packing & Preparation
Where items are already boxed and ready, we can load immediately. If you need help, we offer same day packing assistance for essentials: protecting furniture, wrapping fragile items and securing appliances. We bring blankets, straps and basic packing materials to every job.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained moving teams load your belongings systematically, using protective blankets and straps to prevent movement in transit. We choose vehicle sizes to suit East Dulwich streets and ensure safe transport, whether you are moving locally or across London.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing main furniture where you want it and stacking boxes sensibly. We can reassemble simple furniture we dismantled on collection, time permitting, so you can start settling in straight away.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
We believe urgent service should still be fairly priced. Our rates are based on:
- Size of vehicle and number of movers required
- Travel distance between addresses
- Access and complexity (stairs, long walks, no lift)
- Time of day and short‑notice nature of the booking
You will receive a clear quote before we confirm the booking. We explain what is included (labour, vehicle, fuel, insurance) and any potential extra time charges if the job runs significantly longer than described. There are no hidden call‑out fees.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
When you are under pressure to move on the same day, attempting a DIY move can add stress, risk injury and increase the chance of damage. Hiring a professional East Dulwich removals team means:
- Experienced handling of heavy and awkward items
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Faster loading and unloading, saving you time and energy
- Fully insured cover if something goes wrong
- Reliable arrival – you are not relying on friends or unvetted drivers
Compared with a casual man‑and‑van, we offer trained staff, documented insurance, and a structured process that protects your belongings and your property.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man with Van East Dulwich operates to clear professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained moving teams experienced with homes, flats and offices
- Well‑maintained, clean and suitable vehicles
- Documented bookings and clear terms agreed in advance
We treat your property as if it were our own, taking care to avoid damage to walls, floors and communal areas as well as to your possessions.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on a same day move, care is central to how we work. We use padded blankets, floor protection where needed and secure strapping in our vehicles. Fragile items are clearly identified and loaded separately.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:
- Use reusable blankets and protective materials instead of disposable plastics
- Plan efficient routes to cut unnecessary mileage
- Encourage reuse of boxes and can recommend local recycling options

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a same day removal in East Dulwich cost?
Costs depend on the size of your move, access and distance travelled. For smaller same day moves within East Dulwich, pricing is often based on an hourly rate with a minimum charge. Larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Same day work can be slightly higher than pre‑booked jobs because we have to reorganise schedules, but we always explain the costs clearly in advance so you can make an informed decision.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate same day requests, especially within East Dulwich and nearby areas. Availability depends on how busy we are and the size of the job. Smaller flat, room or office moves are usually easier to fit in at short notice than full house moves. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better the chance we can help. If we cannot assist within your timeframe, we will be honest and, where possible, suggest alternatives.
What insurance cover do you provide?
All removals are covered by our goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are in our vehicle, and by public liability insurance for work at your property. This is designed to cover reasonable, unexpected damage or loss, subject to our terms. We still handle everything carefully to minimise any risk. If you have particularly high‑value items, please tell us in advance so we can confirm suitability and any specific conditions or additional cover options.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our service includes the vehicle, fuel, professional movers, standard moving equipment (blankets, straps, trolleys) and transport from your old address to your new one. We load and unload your belongings, place main furniture where you want it and can do basic dismantling and reassembly if agreed in advance. Packing materials and full packing services can be added if required, depending on time. All work is carried out under our insurance and according to the details agreed when you book.
How is this different from a casual man‑and‑van service?
While the phrase is similar, our approach is that of a professional removals company rather than an ad‑hoc driver. We provide trained staff, insured vehicles, proper equipment and a structured process from enquiry to completion. Quotes are clear and documented, timing is agreed, and we are accountable for the work we do. Casual man‑and‑van operators may not have the same level of insurance, training or reliability, which can be risky on an important same day move.
How far in advance should I book a same day removal?
For genuine same day moves, contact us as early as you can that morning, or the evening before if you know you will need help. This gives us the best chance to allocate the right size vehicle and team. For urgent moves within a day or two, booking even a few hours earlier can make a big difference. While we specialise in short‑notice work, dates in busy periods do fill quickly, so early contact is always recommended.
