Same day Removals
Same Day Removals Wimbledon – Wimbledon Man and Van
When you need to move today, Wimbledon Man and Van provides fast, structured and fully managed same day removals in Wimbledon and surrounding areas. As a local, experienced removals company, we handle urgent moves calmly and professionally, protecting your belongings while working to tight deadlines.
Same Day Removals Service Explained
Our same day removals service is designed for situations where you cannot wait days for a moving slot. Subject to availability, we can collect, transport and deliver your belongings on the same day you contact us.
We use the same principles as a planned removal – proper assessment, protection, loading and routing – but delivered at speed. You still benefit from a professional, fully insured service, just on an accelerated timeline.
Local Expertise in Wimbledon
Operating from Wimbledon, we know the area’s streets, parking restrictions, building layouts and peak traffic times extremely well. This local knowledge allows us to:
- Plan efficient routes across Wimbledon and neighbouring areas
- Advise on parking and access for flats and houses
- Schedule realistic arrival windows, even at short notice
- Handle moves to and from local estates, student halls and offices
Because we work in Wimbledon every day, we can usually respond very quickly when an urgent situation arises.
Who Our Same Day Removals Are For

Ideal if your completion date moves unexpectedly, your original removals company lets you down, or you need to clear a property urgently before handing over keys.
Renters
Perfect for last-minute tenancy changes, short-notice notices to quit, or when you discover your new rental is available earlier than planned.
Landlords
We help landlords and agents with urgent clearances, end-of-tenancy removals, and fast turnaround between tenants, including removal to storage if required.
Businesses
From small offices to retail units, we support urgent relocations, equipment moves, and short-notice strip-outs when leases end or premises need to be vacated quickly.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with your move details: addresses, property type, floors, lift access, parking and a rough list of items. We check same day availability and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the size of the move, access and distance.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most same day moves we use a quick video or phone survey, supported by photos if needed. For larger or more complex jobs, if time allows, we may carry out an onsite visit. The aim is to correctly size the van, team and time required so there are no surprises or delays.
3. Packing & Preparation
Where possible, we ask you to have items packed in boxes and bags before we arrive. If you require packing services on the same day, we will confirm feasibility, as it can extend the job time. We bring blankets, straps and basic protective materials as standard to safeguard your furniture and appliances.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads in a logical order, protecting delicate items and securing loads with straps. We work efficiently but carefully, avoiding damage to belongings and property. Once loaded, we travel directly to your new address or storage unit using the most suitable routes for the time of day.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload items into the rooms you specify. We place large items such as beds, wardrobes and desks where you need them so you can settle in quickly. Before leaving, we ask you to check that everything has been delivered and is in the right place.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Same day removals are usually charged based on:
- Van size and number of movers required
- Estimated hours from arrival to completion
- Travel distance between addresses
- Any additional services such as packing or furniture disassembly
Urgent, same day bookings may carry a premium compared with moves booked in advance, especially evenings and weekends. However, we always confirm the rate before you commit, and there are no hidden charges for fuel or stairs unless specified in your quote.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
When time is tight, trying to organise friends, hire a van and move everything yourself can quickly become overwhelming. A professional removals team brings:
- Experience in moving heavy and awkward items safely
- Correct equipment – blankets, trolleys, straps and tools
- Efficient loading to maximise space and reduce trips
- Reduced risk of damage to belongings or property
- Less physical strain and stress for you
Unlike a casual man-and-van, we operate structured processes, provide goods in transit insurance, and use trained staff who move homes and offices every day.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Wimbledon Man and Van is fully committed to operating to recognised professional standards. For your peace of mind, we provide:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property during the move
- Trained and vetted moving teams used to working in homes and workplaces
We handle your possessions as if they were our own, documenting any existing damage and taking reasonable precautions throughout the move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on urgent moves, we prioritise care and responsible working:
- Use of padded blankets and straps to protect furniture and appliances
- Careful handling through doorways, stairwells and common areas
- Efficient route planning to minimise mileage and emissions
- Re-use of durable packing materials where hygiene allows
- Recycling or responsible disposal of unwanted items by arrangement
Our goal is to complete your move quickly while still respecting your belongings, neighbours and the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Wimbledon cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your move, access, distance and how many movers are required. Same day bookings can be slightly more expensive than moves arranged in advance, as we have to reorganise schedules and allocate vehicles quickly. We usually price either on an hourly rate or a fixed quote once we understand your requirements. During your enquiry, we will ask a few questions, then give you a clear, itemised price so you can decide before committing.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
Same day availability depends on our schedule, vehicle capacity and team numbers on the day. During busy periods, particularly at month end and weekends, slots can fill quickly. However, because we are based in Wimbledon and operate multiple vehicles, we can often accommodate urgent requests, especially for smaller moves. The sooner you call, the better the chance we can help. If same day is not possible, we will usually be able to offer the earliest available alternative.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we carry public liability cover for work at your property. This protection applies whether the move is booked weeks in advance or arranged on the same day. Insurance has sensible limitations and exclusions, so we always encourage you to tell us about particularly high-value or unusual items in advance so we can advise on the most appropriate handling and any extra precautions.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional moving team, loading at your current address, safe transport, and unloading into the rooms you specify at your new property. We provide basic protection such as blankets and straps as standard. Additional services such as packing, dismantling and reassembling furniture, or trips to storage or recycling centres can be added by agreement. Everything included will be clearly set out in your quote before you confirm the booking.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
While we do offer flexible van-based services, our approach is closer to a structured removals company than a casual man-and-van. You benefit from trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper planning and clear communication. We conduct a brief survey, allocate the right resources, and follow a step-by-step process to reduce the risk of damage or delays. This is particularly important on same day moves, where there is no time to fix mistakes or return for forgotten items.
How far in advance should I book a same day move?
By definition, same day moves are arranged at short notice. However, as soon as you know you need to move, it is wise to contact us immediately, even if you do not yet have all the details confirmed. Early contact allows us to reserve a provisional slot, advise you on packing and access, and increase the chances that we can accommodate your preferred time. For planned moves, booking at least one to two weeks ahead generally gives you more choice and better flexibility.
