Who Our Same Day Removals Are For
Homeowners
Ideal if a completion date has been brought forward, a previous removals firm has cancelled, or you need to leave your property sooner than expected. We handle full and part house moves with professional care.
Renters
Perfect for tenants facing unexpected notices, end-of-tenancy deadlines, or disputes requiring swift move-out. We can move you across Hanwell, elsewhere in London, or to storage at short notice.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We assist with same day clearances, tenant changeovers, and urgent access requirements. Our team can remove furniture, rubbish (within our accepted items list), and prepare properties for new occupants.
Businesses
From small offices to retail units, we offer same day business removals to minimise disruption. Whether you’re relocating desks, stock, or equipment, we work to your timings and keep downtime low.
Students
We frequently help students with last-minute moves between halls, shared houses, and private rentals. Single rooms, shared flats, or just a few boxes and a bike – we scale the team to your needs and budget.

Our Same Day Removals Process
Even when time is tight, we follow a structured, professional process to keep your move safe and organised.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Call or message us with your requirements: addresses, property type, access details, and what needs moving. We respond promptly with a clear, no-obligation quote outlining transparent pricing, what is included, and estimated timings.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For many same day jobs, we carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or video. For larger properties, and where time permits, we may visit in person. The survey ensures we send the right size vehicle, the correct number of movers, and the necessary equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or, when possible, we can offer a same day packing service for a portion or all of your belongings. Our team brings blankets, straps, and basic protective materials. Fragile or high-value items are wrapped and secured to reduce risk during transit.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained removal team carefully loads items in a logical order, using protective blankets, straps, and trolley equipment where needed. We plan routes to avoid unnecessary delays and keep you updated on progress, especially for multi-stop moves.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property or destination, we unload, place items in the rooms you choose, and reassemble any furniture that we dismantled (where agreed). Before we leave, we do a final walk-through to make sure nothing has been left on the vehicle and you are satisfied with the layout.
Transparent Pricing – How Our Same Day Rates Work
Same day removals involve short-notice scheduling and rapid deployment, but we still keep pricing clear and fair. We typically price based on:
- Number of movers required
- Vehicle size and number of vans
- Distance between properties / destinations
- Access challenges (stairs, long carries, no lift, restricted loading)
- Any packing service or materials supplied
You will always receive a breakdown of expected costs before we confirm the booking. There are no hidden call-out fees; any potential extra charges (for example, waiting time caused by third parties) are explained upfront.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company like Man with Van Hanwell offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using an unvetted man-and-van:
- Fully insured for your items during transit and for public liability
- Trained staff who know safe lifting techniques and loading methods
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps, and tools for basic dismantling
- Reduced risk of damage to belongings, properties, and vehicles
- Less physical strain and stress for you, especially on urgent moves
With same day moves, time pressure increases the risk of mistakes when going DIY. A professional team keeps things controlled and organised.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised professional standards for removals in the UK. Our cover typically includes:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles
- Public liability cover – covering accidental damage to third-party property or injury
- Trained moving teams – all staff are briefed on safe handling, customer service, and property protection
Policy limits and terms are available on request. We encourage customers to highlight any particularly high-value or fragile items during the quotation stage so we can advise appropriately.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on urgent jobs, we work to protect both your belongings and the environment:
- Use of reusable moving blankets, crates and straps to cut down on waste
- Careful lifting and handling to minimise damage and the need for replacements
- Efficient route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions
- Where possible, reuse of cartons and materials rather than single-use plastics
Our aim is to deliver a fast, efficient move while still working responsibly and respectfully in your home and neighbourhood.
Real-World Same Day Use Cases in Hanwell
- Moving house at short notice – completion brought forward and previous movers unavailable, so we stepped in the same day to relocate a family across West London.
- Office relocation – a small business needed to vacate serviced offices the same day due to lease changes; we moved desks, IT equipment and files into a new unit and storage.
- Urgent clear-out – a landlord required a rapid, lawful clear-out after a tenant left belongings behind; we removed furniture and boxed items for storage and disposal.
- Student emergency move – a student needed to move halls on the same day; we transported boxed belongings, a bike and small furniture within a tight time window.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a same day removal in Hanwell cost?
Costs depend on the size of the move, distance travelled, number of movers required and any additional services such as packing. Same day moves can be slightly higher in price than pre-booked jobs because of the short-notice scheduling and fast deployment of staff and vehicles. We usually charge either a fixed price for clearly defined moves or an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear quotation before you commit, so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you really move me on the same day I call?
In many cases, yes. Same day availability depends on how busy our schedule is, the size of your move, and the time you contact us. Smaller jobs, such as student rooms or one-bed flats, are usually easier to fit in at short notice. Larger house or office moves may require a slightly later start or additional vehicles. The sooner you call us in the day, the better the chance we can accommodate a full same day move. If we cannot offer same day, we will always propose the earliest alternative.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Our same day removals are covered by the same goods in transit insurance and public liability cover as our scheduled moves. Insurance protects your belongings while they are in our care and being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and exclusions. We recommend you tell us about any unusually high-value or delicate items before the move so we can note them and use extra protection. If you have your own contents insurance, it is worth checking whether it provides additional cover during removals, as policies do vary.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading, safe transport, and unloading at your new address. We provide moving blankets, straps and basic protection as standard. By prior agreement, we can also dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture items and disconnect simple appliances, where safe. Optional extras, such as packing, packing materials, and waste disposal or clearance, can be added based on availability and your requirements. Everything included will be set out clearly in your quotation so you know what is and is not covered.
How is a professional removals service different from a casual man-and-van?
A professional removals company offers structured processes, trained staff, and proper insurance. We use suitable vehicles, handling equipment, and protective materials, and we are accountable for the safety of your belongings. A casual man-and-van may be cheaper upfront, but often lacks formal insurance, written terms, or the capacity to handle complex moves safely. With professional removals, you benefit from experience in packing, lifting and route planning, which reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes – especially important when everything has to be completed in a single, same day window.
How far in advance should I book if I suspect I might need a same day move?
If you anticipate a possible urgent move, contact us as soon as you can, even if details are not final. Early contact allows us to pencil in provisional slots, discuss potential scenarios, and advise on packing or preparation that will speed things up if the move goes ahead. For genuine emergencies, call as early in the day as possible so we can juggle our schedule. While we regularly accommodate last-minute calls, availability is always better when we have some warning, even if you only confirm the exact requirement on the day.
