Same day Removals
Same Day Removals Hampstead
When you need to move today rather than next week, Hampstead Movers provides a calm, efficient and professional same day removals service across Hampstead and the surrounding areas. As experienced local movers, we specialise in organising urgent moves at short notice while keeping your belongings safe, protected and fully insured in transit.
Same Day Removals Service in Hampstead
Same day removals are designed for situations where you cannot wait for a planned moving date. Whether a chain has suddenly completed, your landlord needs the property back, or your business has to vacate a premises quickly, we can often deploy a trained crew and vehicle the very same day.
Our service covers everything from small flat moves through to full family homes and urgent office relocations. We combine quick response times with careful handling, appropriate protection materials and clear communication from start to finish.
Local Expertise in Hampstead
Operating in Hampstead daily means we know the area’s streets, parking restrictions and access challenges extremely well. This local knowledge helps avoid delays and makes same day removals genuinely achievable.
We regularly work in mansion blocks, period conversions and townhouses with tight staircases and limited parking. Our team plans loading and unloading around Hampstead’s bus lanes, school traffic and permit zones to keep your move running smoothly and within the time available.
Who Our Same Day Removals Are For
Homeowners
If your property sale completes faster than expected or a chain finally aligns, we can step in at short notice. We handle full household contents, including large furniture, appliances and valuable items, giving you a controlled move even when timings are tight.
Renters
Last-minute notice from a landlord, a sudden change of plans or the need to downsize quickly are all common reasons renters use our same day service. We move flats, studio apartments and house shares, ensuring your deposit is protected by leaving the property clear and undamaged.
Landlords
Landlords often require urgent removals following tenancy changes, end-of-tenancy clearances or emergency situations. We can remove tenants’ left-behind items, furniture and appliances on the same day, helping you prepare the property for new occupants quickly and professionally.
Businesses
For businesses in Hampstead, unexpected lease issues, refurbishments or emergencies can mean you need to relocate at very short notice. Our office removals team can move desks, IT equipment, stock and archive materials, aiming to minimise downtime and disruption.

Students often face tight turnaround times when halls or shared houses need to be vacated. We offer budget-conscious, same day moves for smaller loads, including suitcases, boxes, small furniture and study equipment.

Our Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
When you call or email us, we gather the essentials: addresses, property types, floors, lift access, approximate volume and preferred timings. For same day moves we prioritise speed and clarity, offering a fixed or estimated price based on the information you provide. There are no hidden extras – we explain what is and is not included before you confirm.
2. Rapid Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most urgent jobs, we use a short virtual survey via video call or photos to assess access, parking, and volume. For larger or more complex moves, we may send a surveyor if time allows. This step helps us allocate the right size vehicle, the correct number of movers and any special equipment required.
3. Packing & Preparation
On arrival, our trained team walks through the property with you, confirming priorities and any fragile or high-value items. If you have pre-packed, we check boxes are safe to load. If you need assistance, we offer packing services even on the same day where feasible, using quality cartons, tape and wrapping materials to protect your belongings.
4. Loading & Transport
We protect furniture with blankets and, where required, mattress and sofa covers. Items are loaded in a logical order to minimise movement in transit. Our vehicles are clean, well-maintained and fitted for removals work. Once loaded, we travel directly to your destination using sensible routes that account for Hampstead’s traffic, low bridges and restricted roads.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property we unload room by room, placing items where you want them. Larger furniture can be reassembled if agreed in advance. We work efficiently but without rushing, checking as we go that nothing is missing or damaged. Before leaving, we invite you to walk round and confirm you are satisfied with the placement.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day moves are priced to reflect the urgency, manpower and vehicles required, but we remain clear and fair with our charges. Typically, we quote either:
- A fixed price for clearly defined moves; or
- An hourly rate for smaller or more flexible jobs.
Your quote will explain:
- Number of movers and size of vehicle
- Estimated duration
- Any additional services such as packing or dismantling
- Parking or congestion charges, if applicable
We do not add undisclosed fees on the day. If circumstances change significantly from what was described, we discuss any impact on cost with you before proceeding.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
While DIY or an informal man-and-van might appear cheaper for a same day move, they carry risks. Professional movers bring structure, protection and accountability. Our professional team is trained to move heavy and awkward items safely, reducing the chance of damage to your belongings or the property.
We use proper equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and covers – and our work is supported by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. With casual providers, you may find there is no insurance, no contract and limited support if something goes wrong, particularly on urgent moves where corners can easily be cut.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Hampstead Movers operates to recognised industry standards. All same day removals benefit from:
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your properties
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling furniture, appliances and fragile items
We undertake regular training on safe lifting techniques, packing methods and customer care. Our vehicles are checked routinely and maintained to ensure reliability, which is particularly important when timing is critical.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on urgent moves, we do not compromise on care. Furniture is wrapped or blanket-protected, and we take time to protect entrances and key areas where necessary. Floors, bannisters and door frames are treated with the same respect as your belongings.
We are also conscious of sustainability. Wherever possible we use reusable transit blankets and durable packing materials, and we aim to minimise unnecessary journeys by planning routes carefully. If you have unwanted items, we can help arrange responsible disposal or donation options instead of sending everything to landfill.
Real-World Uses for Same Day Removals
Moving House at Short Notice
Property chains in Hampstead can move unexpectedly. We regularly assist families and individuals whose completion dates have changed with little warning. Our same day service helps you meet legal deadlines without panic, even when access and parking are challenging.
Urgent Office and Shop Relocations
For local businesses, unexpected lease issues, building works or incidents can force a rapid relocation. We can move stock, furniture and IT equipment the same day, helping you continue trading from a new address as quickly as possible.
Emergency Moves and Crises
Occasionally, emergencies such as leaks, structural issues or safety concerns require immediate vacating of a property. In these situations, we focus on swift but careful removal of your key possessions, prioritising essential items first and working with you to stabilise a difficult situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does same day removals in Hampstead cost?
Costs depend on the size of the job, access at each property, distance between addresses and how urgently you need us. Smaller flat moves within Hampstead are often charged at an hourly rate, while larger household or office relocations are usually given a fixed price. Same day work can be slightly higher than pre-booked moves because we must reallocate vehicles and crews at short notice. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear quote outlining everything included so you can make an informed decision.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We cannot guarantee same day availability for every enquiry, as it depends on our existing bookings, crew availability and vehicle capacity. However, we keep a degree of flexibility in our schedule specifically for urgent work, and we will always be honest about what is realistic. If a full move is not possible that day, we may still be able to move your most important items or arrange an overnight solution. The earlier you contact us in the day, the more likely it is we can help.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Our same day removals are covered by the same goods in transit insurance and public liability cover as our planned moves. This policy protects your items while they are in our care and being transported in our vehicles. As with any insurance, there are limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain in plain language before you book. If you have unusually high-value items, let us know in advance so we can confirm appropriate cover or discuss additional arrangements if needed.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard service includes a vehicle sized to your move, a trained crew for loading and unloading, basic protection materials, and transport from your old address to your new one. We place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials, and responsible disposal of unwanted items. Your quote will set out exactly what is included so there are no surprises on the day.
How is your service different from a man-and-van?
We operate as a structured removals company rather than an informal transport service. That means professional crews, proper insurance, suitable vehicles and a clear process from enquiry to completion. Our team is trained to handle awkward staircases, bulky furniture and fragile items safely, and we use the right equipment for the job. With many casual man-and-van services, there is often no formal contract, limited or no insurance and variable standards of care – risks that are magnified when moving at very short notice.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For same day removals, contact us as soon as you know you need to move, even if you do not yet have every detail confirmed. Early contact gives us the best chance to allocate a team and vehicle for you. For planned moves, we recommend booking one to four weeks in advance, especially at busy times such as month-end or holidays. However, we regularly accommodate next-day and short-notice bookings where our schedule allows, always aiming to give you a realistic, honest answer on availability.
