Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with your move details: addresses, access, property size, and what needs moving. We assess the urgency, check vehicle and crew availability, and provide a clear, no-obligation quote for your same day removals in Kentish Town.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For urgent moves we typically complete a quick virtual survey by phone or video, using your list of items and photos where needed. For larger or more complex jobs, and where time allows, we may attend in person. This ensures we send the right size van, equipment, and number of movers.
3. Packing & Preparation
On arrival, our trained team protects key items and areas before anything is moved. We can offer:
- Partial packing – wrapping and protecting fragile or valuable items
- Furniture disassembly – taking down beds, tables, and wardrobes where needed
- Protection of floors, banisters, and doors to reduce risk of damage
4. Loading & Transport
We load the van systematically, using blankets, straps, and appropriate stacking techniques. Our professional drivers follow pre-planned routes through Kentish Town and beyond, considering traffic and access constraints. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while in our care.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new property, we unload in a logical order, placing furniture and boxes into the correct rooms as directed. Where we have dismantled items, we can reassemble basic furniture so you can settle in immediately. Before we leave, you can check each room to ensure nothing has been missed.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day moves require rapid scheduling and often longer working hours, but our pricing remains clear and fair. We base our quotes on:
- Volume of goods and size of vehicle required
- Number of movers needed
- Travel distance and access complexity
- Optional extras – packing, materials, disassembly/reassembly
- Timing – evening or late-night moves where necessary
You will receive a written or confirmed quote before we proceed, with no hidden extras added on the day, provided the job details remain as described.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Attempting a same day move with friends or a casual man-and-van can quickly become stressful and risky. Professional movers bring:
- Trained teams who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
- Appropriate equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and tools
- Fully insured cover for your belongings and property
- Efficient planning and time management, essential on urgent moves
- Accountability – documented bookings, agreed timings and clear communication
This reduces the chance of damage, injury, delays, and last-minute cancellations that can occur with informal arrangements.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and a Van Kentish Town operates to recognised industry standards and takes your protection seriously.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury caused by our work.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in handling furniture, navigating tight spaces, and working in busy urban environments.
We can explain the scope and limits of cover in plain language, so you know exactly how your goods are protected during your same day move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on urgent jobs, we never cut corners on care. We use protective blankets, shrink wrap and straps, and take time to plan safe lifting routes. Our focus is on preventing damage to your belongings and to both properties.
Where possible, we reuse durable packing materials and minimise unnecessary journeys to reduce fuel use. We encourage clients to use reusable crates or sturdy boxes and can advise on sustainable packing options that still provide excellent protection.

A student required a rapid move between halls and a private flat after a room change. Our team collected belongings, transported them safely, and helped place items so they could settle in that night.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Kentish Town cost?
Pricing depends on the volume of items, access, distance and how quickly you need to move. Same day jobs often require prioritised scheduling and potentially longer hours, so they can cost slightly more than standard moves. We usually work on a fixed quote based on your inventory and addresses, rather than open-ended hourly rates. Once we understand what needs moving, we’ll give you a clear price covering vehicle, labour and basic protection materials, so you know exactly what to budget before we confirm your booking.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate same day moves, particularly within Kentish Town and nearby areas, but availability depends on current bookings, time of day, and the size of your move. Smaller flat or student moves are usually easier to schedule at short notice than large house or office relocations. Contact us as early as possible with your details; if we cannot complete everything same day, we may suggest staged options or early next-day solutions to keep disruption to a minimum.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being handled and transported by us, subject to the usual policy conditions. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to property or injury caused by our activities. Insurance is not a substitute for proper packing, so we still handle items carefully and may recommend extra protection for fragile or high-value pieces. We’re happy to explain the details of cover and any exclusions before you confirm your booking.
What exactly is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional crew, loading, transport, and unloading at your new address, plus basic protection such as blankets and straps. On request, we can add packing, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and supply of packing materials. We’ll place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify so you can start settling in straight away. The precise scope will be confirmed in your quote, so you know exactly what’s included and what would be charged as an additional service.
How is a professional removals service different from a casual man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may simply provide a driver and vehicle, with limited equipment, no written terms and often no meaningful insurance. A professional removals service, like ours, offers trained staff, proper lifting techniques, protective materials, fully insured cover, and structured planning. We assess access, volume and risks in advance, turn up with the right crew, and work to an agreed schedule. This is especially important for same day moves, where delays, cancellations or damage can create serious complications and additional costs.
How far in advance should I book a same day move?
For true same day moves, contact us as early in the morning as possible so we can check availability and plan the job. Where you have a little flexibility, even 24–48 hours’ notice makes it easier to guarantee your preferred time slot and keep costs down. For larger properties or office relocations, more notice is always helpful, but we will still assess whether we can help at short notice. The sooner we have your details, the better we can organise a smooth, timely move.
