Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If your completion date changes unexpectedly or a previous removals booking falls through, we can step in with a fully insured, structured same day move. We handle furniture disassembly where possible and protect floors, banisters and doors.

Landlords and Letting Agents

We work with landlords who need urgent clearances or quick turnaround moves between tenancies. We can remove furniture, white goods and personal items, and place or store them according to your instructions, always working respectfully within legal boundaries.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Call us as early as possible. We’ll ask a few key questions: where you’re moving from and to, property type, floors, access, approximate volume of belongings and any time restrictions. Using this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation and confirm whether same day availability is possible.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For many same day moves, there isn’t time for a full onsite visit. Instead, we often carry out a quick video survey via smartphone. This allows us to see stairways, lifts, entrance doors and furniture sizes, so we can allocate the right vehicle and team and avoid surprises on arrival.

3. Packing & Preparation

If you have already packed, we’ll focus on protection and safe handling. Where time permits, we can supply boxes and assist with basic packing, wrapping fragile items and protecting furniture. We bring removal blankets, straps and, when appropriate, mattress covers and TV protection.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained moving teams load systematically, starting with heavier items and ensuring everything is secure for transit. We work efficiently but safely, protecting communal areas and following building rules. Your belongings are then transported directly to the new address using our fully insured vehicles.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload in a logical order and place items into the rooms you specify. Where dismantling has been agreed, we can reassemble standard beds and furniture. Before leaving, we check that everything is in the right place and that nothing has been overlooked.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same day removals cost slightly more than standard pre-booked moves because we have to reorganise resources at short notice. However, our pricing remains straightforward and fair.

We typically price based on:

• Volume of goods and number of movers required
• Travel distance and any congestion or parking charges
• Access difficulty (stairs only, long carries, no parking outside)
• Time of day and whether the move runs into evening hours

Your quote will detail what is included so you know exactly what you’re paying for, with no hidden extras added on the day without your agreement.

Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY

When time is tight, it can be tempting to do the move yourself or rely on a casual man-and-van. In practice, this often leads to delays, damage and extra costs.

With Paddington Movers you benefit from:

• Professional planning, even at short notice
• Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and protect furniture
• Fully insured transport, not just a hired van
• Correct equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
• Reliable attendance – we confirm booking times and stick to them

This means less risk to your belongings, less risk of injury and a move that finishes on time, allowing you to focus on the wider practicalities of an urgent change of address.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Every move is carried out to recognised industry standards, with clear paperwork and accountability.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to terms and declared values.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or accidental injury caused by our work.
• Trained moving teams – staff receive ongoing training in safe lifting, handling fragile items and customer care.

We’ll explain the key points of our cover in plain language and are happy to answer specific insurance questions before you book.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even when working quickly, we never compromise on care. We use appropriate protection for furniture and property, including blankets, shrink-wrap and corner protectors where needed. In shared buildings, we take particular care around walls, lifts and flooring.

We also aim to work more sustainably by:

• Re-using strong cardboard boxes wherever it’s safe and hygienic
• Recycling packing materials after use
• Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Maintaining vehicles to maximise fuel efficiency

Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases

Last-Minute Home Completion

A buyer in Paddington received confirmation of exchange and completion for the same week. Their original mover cancelled the day before. We carried out a rapid video survey, allocated a two-person team with a luton van, and completed the move the same day without any delay to keys being handed over.

Emergency Tenant Move

A tenant needed to leave a flat at short notice following an unexpected issue with the property. We attended within hours, helped pack essential belongings and furniture, and transported everything to temporary storage and a friend’s address the same evening.

Fast Office Relocation

A small business near Paddington Station needed to vacate their serviced office by close of play due to a lease change. We moved desks, chairs, IT equipment and files to a new coworking space, allowing them to be operational again the next morning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a same day removal in Paddington cost?

Costs vary depending on how much you’re moving, access at each property and the distance between addresses. Same day moves are usually slightly more expensive than pre-booked jobs because we have to reorganise schedules at short notice. We typically charge a set hourly rate for a vehicle and team, plus any congestion or parking charges. Once we understand your situation, we’ll give you a clear estimate or fixed price where possible, so you know the likely total before you commit.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We’ll always try, but availability depends on how busy we are, the size of your move and the time you contact us. Smaller flat or room moves are usually easier to accommodate at short notice than full house or large office relocations. The earlier in the day you call, the better chance we have of arranging a same day removal. If we truly cannot help within your timeframe, we’ll be honest and may suggest alternative options or timings that minimise disruption.

Are my belongings insured during a same day move?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover. As with any insurance, there are terms, conditions and limits, which we’re happy to explain before you book. We’ll advise you on packing standards for fragile or high-value items and may recommend that particularly valuable possessions are listed separately or carried by you. Our priority is to prevent damage in the first place through careful handling and proper protection.

What’s included in your same day removals service?

Our core service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We provide blankets and basic protection as standard, and can assist with light disassembly and reassembly of furniture where agreed. Packing services and materials can be added if there is sufficient time and availability. Parking fees, congestion charges and storage costs, if needed, are itemised separately. During your enquiry we’ll confirm exactly what is and isn’t included in your specific quotation so there are no surprises.

How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van may be suitable for a few items, but often operates without formal training, proper insurance or structured processes. As a professional removals company, we provide trained teams, fully insured vehicles, documented bookings and clear communication. We carry the correct equipment, understand building rules, and know how to protect both your belongings and the properties involved. For same day moves, this professionalism reduces the chance of delays, damage or disputes, which is especially important when deadlines are already tight and stressful.

How far in advance should I book if I think I’ll need a same day move?

If you suspect you may need a same day removal, contact us as soon as possible, even if your plans are not confirmed. We can pencil in provisional arrangements and advise you on how to prepare so that, if the move does go ahead, everything runs smoothly. For genuine emergencies, call early in the morning for the best chance of same day availability. When same day is not feasible, we’ll prioritise you for the earliest realistic slot and help you manage any interim period.
