Our Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Call or email us as soon as you know you need a same day move. We will gather key details – addresses, access, floors, lift availability, item list and timing – and provide a clear, no-obligation price estimate. For very urgent jobs, we prioritise giving you an answer quickly so you can make decisions with confidence.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
Where time allows, we complete a brief virtual survey via video call or photos to understand access, parking and volume. For larger or more complex moves, we may send a surveyor if schedules permit. This step reduces surprises on the day and helps us allocate the right vehicle size and crew.
3. Packing & Preparation
For same day removals, many customers have already packed some items. We can supplement this with:
- Supplying boxes and packing materials (subject to availability)
- Partial packing service for fragile or high-value items
- Protective wrapping for furniture and appliances
We always use appropriate protection such as blankets, straps and covers to keep your belongings safe in transit.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team plans the loading order so that items are secure and nothing is crushed or damaged, even when time is tight. We protect doors, walls and floors where possible and work efficiently but carefully. Your goods are then transported in our modern, well-maintained vehicles under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address we unload, place furniture in the rooms you request and position boxes sensibly so you can unpack with minimal disruption. On flats and shared buildings, we work quietly and respectfully to minimise disturbance to neighbours.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals in Tooting
Same day and urgent moves can be more complex to schedule, but our pricing remains transparent and fair. Costs are usually based on:
- Volume of items and size of the move
- Number of movers required
- Travel distance between properties
- Access issues (stairs, long walks, no lift, difficult parking)
- Any additional services such as packing or dismantling
We will always explain what is included in your quote and highlight any potential extra charges (for example, extended waiting time due to key delays) before you confirm. There are no hidden fees added on the day.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
In urgent situations it can be tempting to call friends, hire a van and hope for the best. In practice, this often leads to:
- Injury from lifting heavy furniture incorrectly
- Damage to belongings from poor packing or stacking
- Damage to property – scratched floors, scuffed walls, broken bannisters
- Unexpected costs from extra van hire time or fuel
By using a professional, fully insured removals company, you benefit from trained crews, the right equipment, and structured planning even under time pressure. This significantly reduces the risk of breakages, delays and disputes with landlords or buyers.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Tooting Movers operates to high professional standards across all services, including last-minute moves:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to terms and conditions
- Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to third party property
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff trained in safe lifting, packing and handling
- Well-maintained vehicles – regularly serviced and equipped for removals work
We are committed to clear communication, respectful behaviour in your home or workplace and careful handling of every item we move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even when the clock is ticking, we do not cut corners on care. We use protective blankets, wraps and straps as standard and take particular care with fragile and sentimental items.
We also aim to work as sustainably as possible by:
- Reusing durable packing materials where hygiene allows
- Recycling cardboard and plastics from previous moves
- Planning efficient routes to cut unnecessary mileage
- Offering advice on responsible disposal or donation of unwanted items

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a same day removal in Tooting cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of the move, distance, access, and how quickly you need us on site. Smaller same day flat or student moves might be priced on an hourly rate with a minimum charge, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Same day work can attract a premium due to scheduling and staffing, but we always explain this clearly in advance. Contact us with basic details and we will provide a tailored quote with no obligation.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
Availability depends on how busy our schedule is and the size of the move. We do our best to accommodate genuine emergencies and last-minute requests, especially for local Tooting jobs, but cannot guarantee every time slot. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better our chances of arranging a suitable crew and vehicle. Even if we cannot complete a full move the same day, we may be able to move priority items and finish the remainder at the earliest possible time.
Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?
Yes. Your belongings are covered under our goods in transit insurance while in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and conditions. We also carry public liability cover for accidental damage to third party property. As with any insurance, certain exclusions and limits apply, so we encourage you to tell us about particularly high-value or unusual items in advance. We handle all moves, including urgent ones, with the same level of care and documentation as planned removals.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard service includes provision of the vehicle, fuel, a trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We also provide blankets and basic protective materials for furniture. Where time and availability allow, we can add packing, dismantling and reassembly services for an additional fee. We will confirm exactly what is and is not included in your quote so there is no confusion on the day, and you can choose the level of help that best fits your budget and timescale.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
While some man-and-van operators do a good job, many do not offer the same level of protection, training or insurance as a dedicated removals company. With Tooting Movers you get a structured process, trained staff, written confirmation of your booking, and fully insured transport. We bring the right equipment and enough manpower to move heavy items safely, even at short notice. This reduces the risk of damage, injury and unexpected extra charges that can arise with casual or unregulated services.
How far in advance should I book a same day removal?
For true same day moves, contact us as early in the morning as possible. This gives us the best chance to adjust schedules, allocate a crew and plan the route. For urgent moves needed tomorrow or later in the week, get in touch as soon as you are aware of the situation. Even if your plans are not fully confirmed, we can discuss options, likely costs and provisional time slots so you are prepared if the move goes ahead.
