Where time allows, we can also offer packing, supply of boxes and protective wrapping as part of your same day move.

Our Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
You contact us by phone or online, explain what needs to be moved, your addresses in Tooting (and beyond, if applicable), timings and any access issues. We’ll ask focused questions to understand the size and urgency of your move and provide a clear, no‑obligation quote as quickly as possible.
2. Rapid Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most same day jobs, we carry out a short video survey using your smartphone. This lets us assess access, parking, staircases and volume accurately without delaying the start time. For larger moves and when time allows, we can attend in person for an onsite survey in Tooting.
3. Packing & Preparation
Ideally, you’ll have some items pre‑packed, but we know that isn’t always possible in urgent situations. We can bring boxes, wraps and tape on the day to help pack remaining items. Furniture is protected with removal blankets, mattress covers and shrink wrap where needed to avoid scuffs and damage.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional team loads the van systematically, using straps and padding to secure your belongings. We plan the route across Tooting and beyond with live traffic in mind. Throughout the job your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance, and our vehicles are clean, well‑maintained and appropriate for household and office moves.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload room‑by‑room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. We can re‑assemble basic furniture we dismantled at collection and will protect floors and walls while moving items in. Before we leave, we’ll check you’re happy with positions and that nothing has been missed.
Transparent Same Day Removals Pricing
Same day moves are priced fairly, taking into account urgency, size of move and distance travelled. We do not add hidden extras on the day.
How we calculate your quote
- Size of property or volume of goods (number of rooms / items).
- Number of movers required to complete the job safely and on time.
- Travel distance between addresses and any additional drops.
- Access challenges – stairs only, long carries, restricted parking.
- Optional services such as packing, materials or furniture assembly.
We will always explain your quote in plain language so you know exactly what is included. For smaller urgent jobs we may work on a straightforward hourly rate, with a clear minimum charge and agreed start time.
Why Choose a Professional Removals Service Over DIY
In Tooting, it can be tempting to grab a cheap van or ask friends for help, especially when you are under time pressure. In reality, urgent moves are when professional standards matter most.
- Safety – trained teams know how to lift correctly, handle heavy items and protect property.
- Efficiency – experienced movers complete jobs faster, saving you hours of stress.
- Protection – proper blankets, straps and covers reduce the risk of damage.
- Accountability – your belongings are covered by goods in transit insurance and our public liability cover.
- Reliability – we turn up when we say we will, with the right vehicle and manpower.
A casual man‑and‑van may not offer contracts, insurance or trained staff. With Man with Van Tooting you get a professional removals company approach, even for smaller or urgent moves.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Every same day removals job we undertake is backed by our fully insured service and professional operating standards.
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved.
- Public liability insurance for any accidental damage to third‑party property.
- Trained moving teams with experience in handling delicate, heavy and awkward items.
- Clean, sign‑written vehicles suitable for domestic and commercial moves.
- Clear terms and conditions so you know where you stand from the outset.
We treat your possessions as if they were our own and work carefully even when the clock is ticking.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Urgent does not need to mean careless. Our crews are trained to balance speed with protection at every stage.
- Use of removal blankets, corner protectors and mattress covers as standard where needed.
- Wrapping of fragile items and TVs to reduce the risk of knocks in transit.
- Thoughtful loading plans to avoid crushing or over‑stacking boxes.
- Reuse of durable packing materials wherever safe to do so.
- Route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions around Tooting and beyond.
Where possible, we can also collect and reuse good‑quality boxes for future moves, helping reduce waste.
Real‑World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Moving House at Short Notice
Completion dates can change overnight. When your move in Tooting is suddenly confirmed for today or tomorrow, we step in quickly, scaling the crew to match the size of your property so everything is moved in time for key handover.
Office and Shop Relocations
Businesses sometimes need to vacate premises quickly due to lease changes, repairs or landlord requirements. We plan a practical layout for your new space, label furniture and equipment and move you efficiently to minimise downtime.
Urgent Partial Moves and Clearances
From clearing a single room ahead of renovation to moving a relative into care, we handle sensitive, time‑critical jobs with discretion and care. We can take selected items to a new address, storage or charity drop‑off, as requested.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a same day removals service in Tooting cost?
Costs depend on the size of your move, the distance between properties and how urgent the job is. Smaller local moves may be charged on an hourly basis with a clear minimum, while larger house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Factors like access (stairs only, long carries, limited parking) and any packing or assembly work will also affect the price. We’ll ask a few focused questions or complete a quick video survey, then give you a transparent quote with no hidden extras.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate same day requests, especially within Tooting, but availability depends on our schedule and the size of your move. Smaller jobs can often be fitted in at short notice, while full house or office moves may require a little flexibility on start times. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better chance we have of organising a suitable vehicle and team. If same day is not possible, we’ll offer the soonest realistic alternative slot and explain your options clearly.
Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?
Yes. Whether your move is pre‑booked or same day, your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they’re in our care and on our vehicles. We also hold public liability insurance for accidental damage to third‑party property. We’ll explain the main terms and any limits before you book, and can advise what you should keep with you, such as jewellery, cash and important documents. Our aim is to give you the same level of protection and professionalism on urgent jobs as on any planned move.
What’s included in a same day removals service?
Our standard same day service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, and we’ll place items in the rooms you specify. Where time allows, we can also help with basic packing, dismantling and reassembling standard furniture, and supplying boxes and wrapping. All of this will be set out in your quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day. If you have any special requirements, just let us know during your enquiry.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man‑and‑van typically offers just a driver and a vehicle, often without insurance, written terms or trained staff. Our service is a full removals operation: trained moving teams, protective equipment, goods in transit and public liability cover, plus organised loading and unloading. We plan access, bring the right tools, and work systematically to avoid damage and delays. For urgent moves in particular, that professionalism makes a big difference to safety, speed and peace of mind, especially when you’re moving a whole home or business, not just a few items.
How far in advance should I book if I know I’ll need to move?
If you already know your moving date, it’s best to book as early as possible, especially for larger properties or business relocations. This gives you more choice on start times and allows us to schedule the right size crew and vehicle. That said, we understand that plans can change suddenly, so we always keep some flexibility in our diary for last‑minute or same day moves in Tooting. Even if your move is today or tomorrow, it’s worth calling – we’ll tell you honestly what we can do and when.
