When you need to move today, you need a removals firm that understands urgency, planning and care. At Hammersmith Movers, our same day removals service in Hammersmith is designed for clients who cannot wait days for a slot, but still expect a professional, well organised and fully insured move.
What Our Same Day Removals Service Includes
Our same day service is a streamlined version of our full removals offering, adapted for speed without cutting corners on protection or safety. Where capacity allows, we can provide:
- Short-notice home moves within Hammersmith and across London
- Emergency flat and apartment removals
- Last-minute office and commercial relocations

- Rapid removal of belongings from properties for landlords and agents
We prioritise safety, correct lifting techniques and proper loading so that even a same day move is carried out to the standards you would expect from an established removals company.
Local Expertise in Hammersmith
Operating daily in Hammersmith means our crews know the local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts very well. This local knowledge is critical on same day jobs where there is no time for trial and error.
- Experience with mansion blocks, conversions and new-build flats across Hammersmith
- Understanding of loading restrictions and access on main routes like King Street and Hammersmith Road
- Close coordination with building managers and concierges when needed
Because we are genuinely local, we can usually respond quickly, bring the right size vehicle for the area, and minimise wasted time on the day.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If your completion date has moved forward unexpectedly or a previous removals booking has fallen through, our same day service can step in. We handle full and part-house moves, ensuring your furniture and personal items are moved safely and efficiently.
Renters
Rental deadlines can be tight, and sometimes a landlord needs the property back sooner than planned. We help tenants in Hammersmith vacate properties at short notice, avoiding penalties where possible and ensuring the property is left clear and tidy.
Landlords and Letting Agents
For landlords and agents, we provide urgent clear-outs when tenants have left belongings behind, or where a fast turnaround is required between tenancies. We can move items into storage, another property, or arrange responsible disposal for agreed items.
Businesses
Businesses in Hammersmith sometimes face urgent relocations, unplanned dilapidation works or short-notice lease changes. Our teams are experienced in moving desks, IT equipment, filing and stock with minimal disruption and careful labelling so you can resume trading quickly.
Students
Students often need to move quickly at the end of term or when accommodation plans change. Our same day removals are ideal for room or small flat moves, including transport to storage or to new halls or private rentals in and around Hammersmith.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
Subject to access and vehicle capacity, our same day removals service usually covers:
- Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines (disconnected)
- Boxes of personal belongings, clothes and books
- Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment (properly packed)
- Office furniture, filing cabinets and IT equipment
- Student belongings and small storage units
Items Excluded or Requiring Special Arrangement
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, some items are excluded from same day moves, or may require prior agreement:
- Hazardous materials – gas cylinders, flammables, chemicals
- Unboxed loose valuables such as jewellery or cash
- Large pianos or specialist machinery (by pre-arrangement only)
- Live animals and plants in poor condition
- Items fixed to the property requiring specialist disconnection
We will always explain clearly what we can and cannot take when you enquire, so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Call or email us as early as possible. We will ask a few focused questions about your property, access, volume of items and destinations. On most same day jobs, we provide a clear, fixed quote based on your description and any photos you share. Where information is limited, we will explain any variables openly.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For urgent moves in Hammersmith, we usually carry out a rapid virtual survey via video call or photos. This allows us to judge access, parking, number of floors and the size of vehicle and team required. Where we are very close by and time permits, we may send a surveyor or team leader to view in person before starting.
3. Packing & Preparation
Depending on the size of the move and your needs, we can offer:
- Part-packing for fragile items such as glassware and pictures
- Furniture protection using covers, blankets and shrink wrap
- Basic dismantling of beds and wardrobes where required and agreed
On same day jobs, many customers have already packed, but our teams carry spare boxes, tape and packing materials for last-minute items.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained removals teams load items systematically, securing them in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We use barrows, dollies and proper lifting techniques to protect both your belongings and the property. Once loaded, we transport directly to your new address or storage facility, using the most efficient route from Hammersmith.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload room by room, placing items where you request. Larger items are reassembled if this was agreed as part of the service. We aim to leave you with clear walkways and the main furniture in place so you can start living or working in the new space straight away.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day removals in Hammersmith are priced based on:
- Volume of goods and number of rooms
- Number of movers required
- Vehicle size and number of vehicles
- Travel distance and access complexity
- Any additional services such as packing or dismantling
There is sometimes a premium for short-notice work, especially at peak times, but we always explain this clearly before you book. Your quote will confirm what is included, any potential additional charges, and how long the team is booked for.
Why Choose Professional Removers Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
On a stressful, same day move, the temptation is to grab the first van available. However, using a professional removals company offers clear advantages:
- Fully insured for goods in transit and public liability
- Trained teams who know safe lifting and how to protect furniture
- Appropriate vehicles with securing points and protective equipment
- Consistent, documented procedures, even under time pressure
- Reduced risk of injury, damage, or delays that can become very costly
A cheap, casual man-and-van may look attractive, but if items are damaged, the van is unsuitable, or the driver fails to turn up, you can be left with a serious problem on an already tight deadline.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Hammersmith Movers operates to recognised industry standards. For your protection we maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are on the vehicle
- Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to property or injury
- Trained moving teams – staff are inducted in manual handling, loading and customer care
We record job details, inventories where required, and we communicate clearly with you throughout, even when a move has been arranged at very short notice.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even with same day timescales, we do not cut corners on care. We use clean removal blankets, mattress covers and appropriate wrapping for delicate items. Floors and banisters are protected where necessary, and we plan routes through the property to minimise risk.
We also take a responsible approach to sustainability. Reusable crates and durable blankets reduce single-use materials, and we consolidate journeys where practical to cut unnecessary mileage. When disposing of unwanted items by prior agreement, we use licensed waste partners and aim to divert as much as possible from landfill.
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
- Moving house at short notice: Sales completing earlier than expected or a previous mover cancelling.
- Office relocation: A business needing to vacate premises the same day due to lease or building issues.
- Urgent landlord clear-outs: Tenants leaving belongings behind that must be removed quickly.
- Student moves: Sudden changes to term-time accommodation or last-minute end-of-tenancy moves.
- Emergency storage moves: Protecting belongings by getting them into storage after leaks, damage or access problems.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a same day removal in Hammersmith cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of the move, distance, access and how many movers are required. For a small flat or student move within Hammersmith, prices are typically lower than for a full three-bedroom house move across London. Same day work can carry a premium, particularly at weekends or in peak periods, but we will always give a clear, itemised quote before you confirm. The price you agree includes vehicle, fuel, labour and basic protective materials, with any optional extras explained in advance.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
Availability depends on how busy our schedule is and the size of the move you require. For small or medium moves in Hammersmith, we can often accommodate same day requests, especially if you contact us early in the morning. Larger house or office relocations may require more planning and might not always be possible at a few hours' notice. When you call, we will be upfront about what we can realistically achieve that day and offer the nearest available slot if same day is not feasible.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Our goods in transit insurance applies to same day removals just as it does to planned moves. Your belongings are covered while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and any declared high-value items. We also carry public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or injury. We will explain the key points of cover when you book, and we encourage you to mention any particularly valuable or unusual items so we can record them correctly and advise on the best way to protect them.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard same day service includes the vehicle, a trained removals team, loading, secure transport and unloading at your new address. Basic protection such as blankets and mattress covers is provided as standard. If time and resources allow, we can also offer extra services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly of some furniture and moving items into storage. We will confirm exactly what is included in your quote so you know what to expect on the day and can plan any packing you wish to do yourself.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals company provides far more than just transport. We supply trained staff who understand safe lifting, packing and loading techniques, along with fully insured vehicles equipped for furniture and fragile items. We also operate under clear paperwork, agreed timings and documented standards. Many casual man-and-van operators offer basic help at low cost but may lack insurance, appropriate vehicles or contingency plans if something goes wrong. For same day moves, the reliability and structure of a professional service reduce the risk of cancellations, damage and unexpected costs.
How far in advance should I book a same day removal?
For genuine same day moves, contact us as early as you can – ideally first thing in the morning. The earlier you call, the more likely we are to be able to allocate the right size vehicle and team. If you suspect you may need to move at short notice, it can help to speak to us in advance so we understand your situation and can advise on packing and preparation. For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, but we will always try to help with urgent requirements in Hammersmith where capacity allows.
