Same day Removals Putney

At Man with Van Putney, we specialise in fast, well-organised same day removals across Putney and the surrounding areas. When plans change suddenly or you need to be out today, you still deserve a move that is careful, coordinated and fully protected – not rushed or improvised.

As a locally based, professional, fully insured removals team, we handle urgent moves for flats, houses, student rooms and small businesses every day. We know the streets, parking restrictions and building layouts in Putney, which means we can plan and execute a same day move with minimal stress for you.

What our Same Day Removals service includes

Our same day removals service is a streamlined version of a full removals job, adapted to the time you have available. Where possible, we offer:

• Urgent home moves – flats, studio apartments, family homes
• Student moves – halls, shared houses and short-let accommodation
• Last-minute office and shop moves – small commercial premises
• Part-load and single item moves – when you need key items moved today
• Short-notice landlord and estate agent moves – clearing or setting up properties

Even at short notice, we still work to the same standards: trained teams, clean vehicles, protective materials and clear communication throughout.

Local expertise in Putney

Being based in Putney means we know how to move quickly and safely in the local area. We’re familiar with:

• High-street access and loading spots around Putney Exchange and the riverfront
• Basement and top-floor flats with tight stairwells and no lifts
• Resident parking zones and loading restrictions on key roads
• Busy school and commuter times to avoid where possible

This local knowledge is crucial on a same day move. There’s no time for trial and error, so we plan routes, vehicle sizes and crew numbers with Putney’s layout firmly in mind.

Who our Same Day Removals service is for

Homeowners

Ideal if a completion date changes, a sale progresses faster than expected or you need to vacate a property urgently. We can move full or part households on the same day, subject to availability and access.

Renters

Short-notice notice periods, landlord issues or sudden relocations are common. We help renters leave on time, protecting deposits by minimising damage to walls, floors and communal areas.

Landlords and letting agents

We support landlords who need to clear a property quickly after tenants leave, or furnish a flat before new tenants arrive. We can remove old furniture, move in new items and help prepare the property for re-letting.

Businesses

For small offices, shops or studios in Putney, we offer swift relocations or internal moves. We understand the importance of minimising downtime so your team can get back to work as soon as possible.

Students

We regularly help students move between halls, shared houses and temporary accommodation around Putney and nearby universities. Same day student removals are usually compact but time-sensitive, which suits our agile teams perfectly.

What we can and can’t move on the same day

Items typically included

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• Kitchen appliances – fridges, freezers, washing machines, microwaves
• Boxes, bags and loose items – clothes, books, personal belongings
• Home office equipment – desks, chairs, printers, filing cabinets
• IT equipment – computers, monitors, small servers (carefully packed)
• Student belongings – suitcases, boxes, small furniture, bikes

Items excluded or requiring prior agreement

For safety, legal or insurance reasons, some items are excluded from same day removals, or must be agreed in advance:

• Hazardous materials – paints, solvents, gas bottles, fuel, chemicals
• Illegal or prohibited items
• Unboxed fragile collections – such as large glassware, unless packed safely
• Very large safes or industrial machinery
• Animals and live plants in bulk (we can advise on transport options)
• Pianos and specialist items – often possible, but must be pre-agreed so we can bring the right equipment

If you’re unsure whether we can move a particular item on the same day, mention it during your enquiry and we’ll advise honestly.

Our step-by-step Same Day Removals process

1. Enquiry & quote

You contact us by phone or online with your move details: addresses, access issues, number of rooms, key items and your time constraints. We respond quickly with a realistic appraisal of what can be done on the day and provide a clear price estimate before anything is booked.

2. Survey – virtual or onsite

For most same day moves in Putney, we carry out a rapid virtual survey using photos or video. For larger or more complex moves, we may send someone onsite if time allows. The goal is to understand access, parking, stairways, lifts and the volume of items so we can send the right vehicle and crew.

3. Packing & preparation

Where there is time, we offer professional packing using quality materials, including wrapping fragile items and protecting furniture. On many same day moves, customers pack smaller items themselves, while we focus on disassembly of furniture, wrapping, and protecting doors, floors and banisters.

4. Loading & transport

Our trained team loads your belongings methodically, securing items to prevent movement in transit. We use blankets, straps and, where needed, floor runners and corner protectors. Once loaded, we take the most efficient route across Putney, keeping you informed of timings.

5. Unloading & placement

On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it so you can start living or working in the new space straight away. Where agreed, we can reassemble beds and basic furniture. Before leaving, we do a quick walkthrough with you to ensure nothing has been missed.

Transparent Same Day Removals pricing

Same day work needs clear pricing so there are no surprises. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of items and size of the vehicle required
• Number of movers needed (and any extra labour)
• Distance between properties
• Access challenges – stairs, long carries, parking limitations
• Any packing materials or specialist equipment required

We typically offer either a fixed price for the job or an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, depending on what suits your move best. All pricing is clearly set out before you confirm, and we are always happy to explain how the figure is calculated.

Why choose professional Same Day Removals over DIY

When time is tight, trying to organise a last-minute move yourself can quickly become overwhelming. Hiring a casual van without proper insurance or equipment can expose you to damage, injury and unexpected costs.

With Man with Van Putney you benefit from:

• Professional planning, even under time pressure
• Trained movers used to handling heavy and fragile items
• Appropriate vehicles, trolleys, straps and protective materials
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Efficient loading so you get maximum value from the time booked

The aim is simple: a same day move that feels controlled and safe, rather than rushed and risky.

Insurance and professional standards

Your belongings and your property are fully protected when you move with us. We carry:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are in our care and on our vehicles
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property in the unlikely event of an accident

Our teams are trained in lifting techniques, loading plans and property protection. We carry out regular vehicle checks and maintain clear internal procedures, even for urgent work, so that safety never takes second place to speed.

Care, protection and sustainability

Even on a same day job, we take care to:

• Use protective covers, blankets and floor runners where appropriate
• Secure loads properly to minimise movement and damage
• Use reusable packing materials wherever possible
• Plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Recycle or responsibly dispose of unwanted items on request

We aim to balance speed with responsibility, so you get an urgent move that is still handled with care and consideration for the environment.

Real-world Same Day Removals use cases

Moving house at short notice

Completion dates move, landlords change plans, and sometimes you need to be out of a property earlier than expected. We regularly help Putney residents complete full or partial house moves with very little notice, focusing on key rooms and essential furniture first.

Urgent office relocations

When leases end suddenly or urgent works are needed, small businesses may need to move out within a day. We can relocate desks, chairs, equipment and files, arranging them in the new premises so your team can operate quickly.

Student and flatshare moves

Students and sharers often face last-minute changes of plan. We move personal belongings, bikes and small furniture between halls, shared houses and new rentals in and around Putney, often within just a few hours of the initial call.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do same day removals in Putney cost?

Costs vary depending on how much you need to move, access at each property and the distance between addresses. Smaller same day moves, such as a student room or small flat, are often priced on an hourly basis with a minimum booking period. Larger household or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price once we understand the volume and logistics. We will always give you a clear, itemised quote before you commit, and we are happy to talk through options to keep the move within your budget.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate same day requests, especially within Putney, but availability depends on how busy the day is and the size of the move. Smaller jobs are often easier to fit in at short notice, while larger whole-house moves may require more planning. The earlier in the day you call, the better the chance we can help. If we cannot complete everything that day, we’ll discuss realistic alternatives, such as prioritising essential items or splitting the move across two visits.

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 under our care, and we hold public liability cover for work at your property. Insurance provides an extra layer of protection on top of our careful handling, professional packing (where requested) and secure loading practices. We’ll happily outline the key points of cover before you book, and if you have particularly high-value items, you can let us know so we can advise on packing and handling.

What exactly is included in your same day removals service?

Our standard same day removals service includes the vehicle, a trained moving team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We bring protective blankets and straps as standard. Subject to time and agreement, we can also help with basic furniture disassembly and reassembly. Additional services such as full packing, packing materials, specialist item handling or disposal of unwanted items can often be added, but we need to confirm this when you book so we bring enough people, time and equipment to complete everything safely.

What is the difference between your removals service and a casual man-and-van?

While the term may sound similar, our service is a structured, professional removals operation rather than a casual transport offer. We use trained movers, maintain safe and clean vehicles, carry comprehensive insurance and follow established procedures for planning, loading and protecting property. A casual man-and-van might be cheaper initially, but often lacks proper cover, equipment or experience, which can lead to damage, delays or extra trips. With Man with Van Putney, you get a coordinated service designed around your move, even on the same day.

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

For genuine same day moves, contact us as early as possible – ideally first thing in the morning. This gives us the best chance to allocate a suitable vehicle and crew. For urgent moves within the next day or two, a little more notice allows us to plan more efficiently and potentially reduce your costs. Even if your timing is uncertain, it is worth calling to discuss options; we can pencil in provisional slots, advise on packing and help you prepare so that, when the time comes, the move runs smoothly.
