What Our Same Day Removals Service Covers
Our same day service is designed for urgent moves where time is tight but care and safety still matter. We handle:
- Full and part house moves

Even on same day jobs, we work to a clear plan, protect your belongings properly and keep you informed from first call to final placement of furniture.
Local Expertise in Putney and Surrounding Areas
Based in Putney, we know the area, the traffic patterns and the practical challenges of local moves. Our drivers and porters are used to:
- Narrow residential streets and controlled parking zones
- Blocks of flats with limited access or no lifts
- Busy routes around Putney High Street, Putney Bridge and the Embankment
- Time-restricted loading bays and building access windows
This local knowledge lets us plan efficient routes and realistic timeframes for same day removals in Putney, helping avoid delays and last‑minute surprises.
Who Our Same Day Removals Are For
Homeowners
If your completion date has moved forward, paperwork has been confirmed at the last minute, or another mover has let you down, we can step in to carry out a full or partial same day home move, keeping your chain on track.
Renters
Tenancy ending today? Need to move quickly to avoid extra rent or deposit issues? We help renters in Putney move out fast, leaving properties clear and assisting with coordinated key handovers where required.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We provide rapid clearances and moves between tenancies, including removal of abandoned items and re-positioning of landlord furniture. Our team works tidily and respectfully in communal areas and shared buildings.
Businesses
For small offices and local businesses, we offer same day relocations, urgent internal moves, and safe transport of equipment, files and stock. We can work around opening hours to minimise downtime.
Students
Students often face strict move-out deadlines from halls or rented rooms. Our flexible, same day student moves help you get everything out on time, from suitcases and boxes to desks, bikes and small furniture.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Call us or send an enquiry as early as possible. We will ask a few focused questions about property size, access, floors, key items, and timings. Wherever feasible, we provide a clear, fixed or structured quote before you commit, outlining what is included in the price.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most same day moves we carry out a rapid virtual survey via photos, video or a short call. For larger or more complex removals, we may send someone out if time allows. The aim is to assess volume, access and any special handling so we bring the right van size, equipment and team.
3. Packing & Preparation
On arrival, we walk through the property with you to confirm what is going and any fragile or high‑priority items. We use proper removal blankets, securing straps and, where needed, protective wrapping for furniture, TVs and glass. You can pre-pack your own boxes, or if agreed in advance, we can provide a packing service for selected items.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads the van methodically to protect your belongings and make best use of space. Heavier items go first, with fragile and lighter items carefully secured on top. We choose sensible routes around Putney and beyond, considering traffic, low bridges and any time restrictions, aiming for smooth, efficient transport.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new address, we unload in an organised way, placing items into the rooms you specify. We can assemble standard bed frames and re-position furniture within reason, helping you get functional quickly. Before leaving, we invite you to walk round and check you are satisfied that everything you expected has been delivered.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. For same day removals in Putney we typically quote based on:
- Size of the move (number of rooms and volume of items)
- Number of movers required
- Travel distance between addresses
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking restrictions)
- Any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly
You will be told in advance whether your quote is a fixed price or a time-based rate. Any potential extra charges (for example for additional drops or waiting time) are explained before you book, not added unexpectedly at the end.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Trying to organise a same day move yourself, or relying on a casual one‑man‑and‑van, often leads to delays, damage and unnecessary stress. With Man and a Van Putney you benefit from:
- Professional movers used to working under time pressure
- Correct equipment – removal trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Vans properly set up for domestic and commercial moves
- Goods in transit insurance for your possessions
- Public liability cover for work on your premises
- Planned loading and unloading to reduce risk of damage
This means fewer trips, less risk of injury, and a more predictable moving day, even when everything has to happen at short notice.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Man and a Van Putney operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability insurance for work in and around your property
- Trained and vetted staff who handle moves day in, day out
Our team follows clear procedures for lifting, loading and securing items, and we are happy to explain how your goods are protected at every stage of the move.
Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability
Even on a same day job, we never cut corners on care. Furniture and appliances are protected with removal blankets, and fragile items are placed and secured with particular attention. We plan lifts and awkward carries to minimise risk to both property and people.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible, we:
- Use reusable blankets and protective materials instead of excessive single‑use plastics
- Consolidate routes to cut unnecessary mileage
- Encourage reuse of boxes and packing materials
- Dispose of unwanted items responsibly, using licensed facilities when requested
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Moving House at Short Notice
Perhaps your buyer has brought completion forward, or another remover has cancelled. We can often mobilise quickly to move you out of your Putney property on the same day, keeping your sale or purchase plan intact.
Last-Minute Office Relocation
Small offices and shops sometimes have to move with minimal warning due to lease changes or building works. We can relocate desks, chairs, computers and files efficiently, with clear labelling to make setting up at the new premises easier.
Urgent Tenant Changeover
Landlords and tenants may need same day clearance when a tenancy ends abruptly or an inspection is due. We can remove furniture and belongings quickly and carefully, helping leave the property ready for cleaning or new occupants.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Putney cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your move, the distance between addresses, access conditions and how many movers are required. Smaller same day jobs may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger home or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. We will ask a few questions, or carry out a quick virtual survey, then provide a clear quotation before you commit. There are no hidden fees: any potential extras such as parking charges or waiting time are explained in advance.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
Availability depends on how busy our schedule is and the size of your move, but we always do our best to accommodate genuine same day requests. Calling as early in the day as possible gives us the best chance of arranging a suitable team and vehicle. Even if we cannot move everything immediately, we may be able to offer a partial move, priority items transport, or an early next‑day slot. It is always worth getting in touch to discuss your situation.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also hold public liability insurance for work in and around your property. These protections apply equally to same day removals as they do to planned moves. We handle your items carefully, but in the rare event something goes wrong, we have proper cover in place to deal with it professionally.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard service includes a vehicle sized to your move, a suitable number of professional movers, loading, secure transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We provide protective blankets and securing straps as standard. Additional services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, or extra pick‑ups and drop‑offs, can usually be added by prior agreement. We will confirm exactly what is included in your quotation so you know what to expect on the day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While we operate vans, our focus is on being a professional removals company rather than just transport. That means trained staff, proper insurance, planned loading and unloading, and clear communication. We assess access, volume and risks before starting, bring the right equipment, and work to an agreed plan and price. A casual one‑man‑and‑van service may be cheaper on paper, but often lacks the insurance, experience and resources needed for a safe, efficient same day move.
How far in advance should I book a same day move?
For genuine same day removals, contact us as soon as you know you need to move – ideally first thing in the morning. The more notice you can give, even if it is only a few hours, the easier it is for us to schedule a team and vehicle that match your requirements. If your timing is flexible within the day, let us know, as this can help us fit you in around existing bookings. For next‑day moves, we recommend booking as early as possible.
