Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For

• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers (disconnected)
• Electronics – TVs, PCs, printers and small appliances

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Call or message us as early as possible. We’ll ask clear, focused questions about the size of the move, addresses, access and any time constraints. Based on this, we provide a transparent, no-obligation quote, explaining what’s included so you can make a quick, confident decision.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For same day moves we usually carry out a fast virtual survey by video or photos, though onsite is possible if time allows. The aim is to confirm volumes, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any awkward items. This allows us to send the right sized van and properly equipped team, avoiding delays.

3. Packing & Preparation

If you’re mostly packed, we’ll check boxes and furniture for transport readiness. If you need help, we can provide basic same day packing for essential items, using our own materials where required. We protect furniture with blankets, covers and wrap, and we’ll label or separate fragile items for extra care.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained removals team plans the loading order to protect your belongings and to make unloading more efficient at the other end. Large items are secured with straps, and everything is padded where needed. We then transport your goods directly to the new property or storage, using the most time-efficient, safe route.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload room by room, placing furniture where you want it and stacking boxes sensibly for easy unpacking. We can reassemble basic furniture we have dismantled, and we’ll do a final walk-through with you to ensure nothing is missing or misplaced before we leave.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same day moves often need extra planning and flexible scheduling, but we still keep pricing straightforward. We typically work on:

• Either a clear hourly rate (van and team included)
• Or a fixed price based on the survey for well-defined moves

Your quote will set out:

• Number of movers and size of vehicle(s)
• Expected duration or what’s included in a fixed price
• Any additional services agreed (packing, materials, multiple stops)
• Any out-of-hours or congestion-related considerations

There are no hidden extras for basic items like blankets or straps. If anything might affect the cost (for example, extra flights of stairs or significant delays), we explain this before you book.

Why Use Professional Movers Instead of DIY

For a same day move, trying to arrange DIY transport or an unvetted casual man-and-van can be stressful and risky. With Man With a Van Chessington you benefit from:

• Professional loading techniques to protect your belongings and the property
• Fully insured vehicles, including goods in transit cover
• Trained staff who move heavy and awkward items safely
• Reliable arrival times and clear communication throughout
• Documented quotes and booking confirmations for your peace of mind

In urgent situations, reliability and protection matter even more. A properly planned, insured move reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute cancellations.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate as a fully insured removals provider in Chessington, giving you extra assurance on same day moves when there’s no second chance.

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they’re in our vehicle
• Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained moving teams with experience handling everything from standard flats to complex multi-stop moves

We follow professional lifting and loading practices, use appropriate protective equipment, and keep our vehicles well maintained and clean inside.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even on a same day move, speed never replaces care. We:

• Use padded blankets, mattress covers and wrap to protect furniture
• Secure loads properly to minimise movement in transit
• Protect floors and doorways where needed to avoid scuffs
• Encourage re-use of boxes and use recyclable materials where possible
• Plan routes sensibly to avoid unnecessary mileage and fuel use

Our aim is to complete your urgent move quickly but safely, leaving both properties and your belongings in good condition.

Real-World Same Day Removal Scenarios

Emergency House Move in Chessington

A family needing to vacate their Chessington home the same day due to a chain change used our same day removals service. We completed a video survey that morning, provided a fixed price, and moved their full three-bedroom contents into temporary storage and a short-term rental by evening.

Last-Minute Office Relocation

A small business facing a sudden lease end required same day office removal of desks, IT and stock. We supplied a team with the right tools to disconnect, protect and move their equipment across Chessington, minimising disruption so they could be operational the next day.

Urgent Student Move

When a student needed to leave shared accommodation at very short notice, we collected packed items, a few bits of furniture and a bike, delivering part to a new address and the rest to storage in a single, carefully planned trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do same day removals in Chessington cost?

Pricing depends on the size of the move, access, distance and how quickly you need us. For smaller same day moves, we often use a clear hourly rate covering the van and a professional team. Larger or more complex jobs may be priced as a fixed quote after a fast survey. There may be additional charges for out-of-hours work or long distances, but these are always discussed in advance. Contact us with basic details and we’ll give you a transparent estimate with no obligation.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to provide same day removals in Chessington whenever our schedule and staffing allow. Availability depends on how many booked moves we already have, the size of your job and how far we need to travel. Calling as early as possible in the day gives the best chance of securing a slot. Even if a full removal isn’t possible, we may be able to offer a partial move, priority items transport or an evening slot to meet your deadline.

Are my belongings insured during a same day move?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are on our vehicle, and we also hold public liability cover. This provides protection in the unlikely event of damage during loading, unloading or transport. We’ll explain any limits or exclusions when you book, for example for unusually high-value items or anything not properly packed. We also minimise risk by using trained staff, appropriate packing and secure loading methods on every job.

What is included in your same day removals service?

Our standard service includes the van, professional movers, protective blankets and straps, loading at the collection address, transport, and unloading and placement at the destination. We can also offer basic packing help, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and multiple stops (for example, storage and a second address) if agreed in advance. We do not include packing materials by default on urgent bookings, but we can usually supply them if requested. Everything included will be set out clearly in your quote.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?

Many casual man-and-van operators focus purely on transport and may not provide the level of planning, protection or insurance you need, especially on an urgent move. We operate as a structured removals service with trained staff, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and clear processes. We plan the loading order, protect furniture and properties, and communicate clearly throughout. You get the flexibility of a van service with the standards of a professional removals company.

How far in advance should I book a same day removal?

Same day moves are, by nature, last-minute, but the earlier you contact us on the day, the better. Ideally, get in touch first thing in the morning with key details: addresses, rough inventory, access and timings. This allows us to complete a quick survey, confirm availability, and plan routes and manpower properly. If you have even a day or two’s warning that you may need an urgent move, letting us know in advance can significantly improve options and keep costs down.
