Same day Removals
Same day Removals in Lambeth by Local Professionals
When you need to move today, you need a removals team that is organised, responsive and completely reliable. Lambeth Movers provides dedicated same day removals across Lambeth, offering fast response times without cutting corners on care, safety or professionalism.
As an established local company, we understand the pressure of an unexpected or urgent move. Our experienced, fully insured teams are trained to plan and execute short-notice moves quickly, calmly and efficiently – whether you are moving a small flat, a full family home, an office or just a few key items.
What Our Same Day Removals Service Includes
Our same day service is designed to mirror a planned move as closely as possible, but on a compressed timescale. Typically, a same day move with Lambeth Movers can include:
- Emergency home moves – flats, houses, HMOs and shared accommodation
- Urgent office and commercial relocations within Lambeth and nearby areas
- Student moves between halls, rented rooms and storage
- Last-minute landlord and estate agent clearances
- Single-item and part-load moves for bulky or valuable items
We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable on the same day, depending on access, property size, your packing status and distance between addresses.
Local Lambeth Expertise You Can Rely On
Working exclusively within Lambeth and surrounding areas means we know the local streets, estates and parking restrictions extremely well. This makes a huge difference on a same day move. We plan around:
- Red routes, bus lanes and peak-time congestion
- Controlled parking zones and loading bays
- Tight stairwells, lifts and older properties common in the area
- Access considerations for estates and managed blocks
Our local knowledge allows us to choose the right vehicle, arrive prepared for your specific address, and minimise delays that can derail an urgent move.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For

We assist with urgent clearances, abandoned belongings, and fast turnarounds between tenancies. Our team can remove, transport or place items into storage, helping you get the property ready for the next occupant as quickly as possible.

Our Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Call or message us as early as possible. We will ask key questions about your current and new addresses, property size, access, number of items, and preferred timing. Where feasible, we provide an indicative quote upfront and confirm whether same day capacity is available.
2. Rapid Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most same day moves, we carry out a virtual survey via photos, video call or a detailed inventory. For larger properties, if time allows, we may send a surveyor. The aim is to allocate the right team, vehicle and equipment and reduce the risk of delays or extra trips.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you are already packed, we focus on protection and loading. If not, we can offer same day packing assistance for a realistic volume of items, using quality boxes and materials. We use furniture blankets, mattress protectors and other materials to protect your belongings and property.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team systematically loads your belongings, securing furniture and fragile items to prevent movement in transit. We plan the route based on current traffic conditions in Lambeth to keep to your timescales as closely as possible.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing key furniture where you need it so that you can be functional quickly. We will reassemble basic furniture we have dismantled, time permitting, and carry out a final check before we leave.
Transparent Same Day Removals Pricing
Same day moves are priced fairly based on:
- Property size and volume of goods
- Number of movers required
- Travel distance and parking considerations
- Any packing services or materials supplied
- Urgency and time of day (evening or weekend rates may differ)
We provide a clear, itemised quote before work begins. There are no hidden charges: any potential extra costs (for example, waiting time due to key delays or additional trips) are explained in advance so you can make an informed decision.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
On a same day move, the margin for error is small. Choosing a professional removals company instead of a DIY attempt or an informal man-and-van service offers significant benefits:
- Professional planning and coordination, even at short notice
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Reduced risk of damage to property, furniture and belongings
- Efficient loading and unloading that saves you time and stress
- Clear accountability and insured protection for your items
When time is tight, a structured, professional approach often ends up costing less than a rushed, improvised move that leads to breakages or repeat trips.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Every same day move with Lambeth Movers is carried out with the same standards as a planned relocation. We provide:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while on the move
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained, uniformed teams experienced in safe lifting and handling
- Modern, well-maintained vehicles suitable for urban environments
We take the time to explain our cover and any limits or exclusions so you understand exactly how your items are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Urgent does not mean careless. We use the same protective measures on a same day move as we do on any other job:
- Furniture blankets, straps and corner protectors
- Floor and banister protection where required
- Careful disassembly and reassembly of suitable furniture
We also work to reduce environmental impact by:
- Reusing and recycling packing materials where appropriate
- Planning routes efficiently to limit unnecessary mileage
- Encouraging customers to return or reuse sturdy boxes
Real-World Same Day Removals Scenarios
Emergency House Move
A family in Lambeth received unexpected confirmation of their completion date with just a day’s notice. We arranged a same day move, provided additional packing support in the morning, and completed the relocation into their new home that evening, all under full insurance cover.
Urgent Office Relocation
A small business needed to vacate a shared workspace by the end of the day. Our team packed IT equipment, office furniture and documents, relocated them to the new premises in Lambeth and had the essentials set up so the team could work the next morning.
Student Move Between Tenancies
A student had a last-minute change of accommodation and needed to move the same day. We collected boxed belongings, a bed, desk and bike, moving everything safely to a new room on the other side of Lambeth within the afternoon.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a same day removals service cost in Lambeth?
Pricing depends on the size of the move, access, distance between properties and how much help you need with packing. Same day moves may carry a premium compared with pre-booked services because we have to reallocate teams and vehicles at short notice. As a guide, small flat moves start from a few hundred pounds, while larger homes or business moves will cost more. We always provide a clear, tailored quote once we understand your requirements, so you know the likely total before confirming.
Can you always provide a same day removals service?
While we specialise in urgent and short-notice moves in Lambeth, same day availability depends on our existing bookings, team capacity and the scale of your move. Smaller flat or single-item moves are more easily accommodated at short notice than full house or office relocations. Contact us as early in the day as possible, even if you are not yet certain of times, and we will be honest about what is achievable. If we cannot move you the same day, we will offer the earliest possible alternative.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your property. As with any policy, there are limits and exclusions, for example for certain high-value or prohibited items, so we encourage you to tell us about any particularly valuable belongings. We will explain our cover clearly and can advise whether you should consider additional insurance for specific items if needed.
What is included in a same day removals service?
Our standard same day service includes a vehicle sized to your move, a professional removals team, loading and unloading, and transport between addresses. We provide basic protection for your furniture and belongings, and can usually place items into specific rooms at your new property. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, furniture disassembly/reassembly and removal to storage. During your enquiry, we will confirm exactly what is included in your quote so there are no surprises on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals service offers structured planning, trained staff, appropriate equipment and formal insurance. With a casual man-and-van, you may not receive an inventory, clear terms, or adequate protection if something goes wrong. We assess access and volume in advance, use protective materials, handle furniture safely and provide written confirmation of your booking and costs. For small, simple tasks, a man-and-van may suffice, but for urgent or full-property moves, professional support usually offers better value and peace of mind.
How far in advance do I need to book a same day move?
For a same day move, contact us as soon as you know you may need to move – even if details are not finalised. Morning enquiries give us the best chance to arrange a team and vehicle, particularly for larger properties. For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance where possible. However, our operations are flexible and we will always do our best to accommodate late bookings, explaining clearly what we can realistically achieve in the time available.
