If you’re unsure about a particular item, mention it when you contact us and we’ll advise you honestly.
Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Call or message us as early in the day as possible. We’ll ask a few focused questions about your property, access, key items and timings. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining the vehicle size, number of movers and anticipated hours.
2. Rapid Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most same day removals in Hammersmith, we carry out a quick virtual survey via photos or video call. For larger or more complex moves, we may send someone for a brief onsite check if time allows. The aim is to understand volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any special care items so we can allocate the right resources.
3. Packing & Preparation
Ideally you’ll have items boxed and labelled where possible, but we know same day moves are often rushed. We can assist with:
- Basic disassembly of furniture such as bed frames and tables.
- Wrapping of delicate items with blankets and protection.
- Careful segregation of fragile boxes for top-loading.
For planned urgent moves, we can also provide packing services and materials by prior arrangement, subject to availability.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your items in a logical order, securing furniture and boxes to prevent movement during transit. We use suitable vehicles for Hammersmith streets and London traffic, planning the route to minimise delays. All goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance, giving you added reassurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items to the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it, within reason. We can reassemble straightforward furniture that we dismantled, and we always aim to leave you with the essentials in place so you can settle in the same day.
Local Expertise in Hammersmith
Operating as Man and a Van Hammersmith, we know the local area extremely well – from parking restrictions on busy Hammersmith roads, to access issues in older mansion blocks and new-build developments. This local knowledge helps us:
- Plan practical parking and loading in tight or restricted streets.
- Allow realistic journey times around peak traffic and local bottlenecks.
- Handle building rules such as lift bookings and loading bay windows.
Because we work in Hammersmith daily, we can respond faster and more efficiently than non-local operators, especially on urgent or same day moves.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day work is more intensive to schedule, but our pricing remains clear and fair. We usually price using one of two approaches:
- Fixed price for well-defined jobs with clear inventories and access.
- Hourly rates for smaller, flexible or uncertain moves.
Your quote will explain:
- How many movers and what size vehicle are included.
- What is covered in the price (loading, unloading, travel between addresses).
- Any additional time charges if the job overruns agreed hours.
There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs (for example, congestion or parking charges) are discussed up front wherever possible.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Last-minute moves tempt many people to “just get a van and some mates”, but there are real advantages to using a professional removals company like Man and a Van Hammersmith:
- Safety – Proper lifting techniques reduce the risk of injury and damage.
- Protection – Use of blankets, straps and stacking skills prevents breakages.
- Insurance – Your belongings are covered by goods in transit insurance.
- Reliability – Confirmed booking times and clear communication.
- Experience – We handle awkward staircases, tight doorways and heavy items daily.
With casual man-and-van services, you may have no real recourse if things go wrong. With us, you’re dealing with a properly run, professional removals business.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Every move we carry out is backed by appropriate cover and procedures:
- Goods in transit insurance – Your possessions are protected while being moved and transported, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – Protection in case of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
- Trained moving teams – Our staff receive practical training in safe lifting, loading, protection and customer care.
We also work to straightforward, professional standards: punctuality, clear communication, respect for your property and careful handling of every item.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move as if it were our own home or business:
- Using protective covers and blankets for furniture and key items.
- Protecting floors and walls as we move larger pieces through tight spaces.
- Securing loads in the vehicle to prevent shifting during transit.
We also consider sustainability wherever practical by:
- Reusing durable cartons and blankets rather than single-use materials.
- Planning routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage.
- Encouraging clients to recycle or donate unwanted items rather than send them to landfill.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Hammersmith cost?
Costs depend on the size of the move, access at each property and how quickly you need us. Smaller same day moves in Hammersmith are often priced on an hourly rate, covering the vehicle, fuel and a set number of movers. Larger or more defined jobs can be quoted at a fixed price once we understand what’s involved. We’ll always explain what’s included, any potential extra time charges and any parking or congestion costs, so you know exactly where you stand before you commit.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate genuine same day requests, especially within Hammersmith, but availability depends on our existing bookings and the scale of your move. Calling early in the morning gives us the best chance of fitting you in. For very large properties or complex moves, we may suggest a split approach, moving essentials on the same day and the remainder as soon as possible afterwards. We’ll always be honest about what we can realistically achieve in the time available.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they’re being transported in our vehicles, subject to the normal policy terms and exclusions. We also hold public liability cover for added peace of mind. We’ll explain any limits or special conditions when you book, particularly for unusually high-value items. Our main aim is to prevent damage in the first place through careful packing, loading and securing of the load, but you have the reassurance of proper insurance behind that.
What exactly is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitably sized vehicle, a trained moving team, loading at your current address, safe transport to your new address and unloading into the rooms you specify. Basic furniture dismantling and reassembly is usually included where needed, as is the use of blankets and straps for protection. Packing of loose items can be added if we have capacity and materials available. We’ll always make clear in your quote what is and isn’t covered, so there are no surprises on the day.
What’s the difference between your service and a casual man-and-van?
On the surface they may look similar, but there are important differences. We are a professional removals company with trained staff, proper insurance, maintained vehicles and clear procedures. We survey jobs, plan access and provide written quotes, rather than just “turning up and hoping for the best”. Our team are experienced in protecting furniture, handling awkward staircases and working efficiently, which reduces the risk of damage and delays. In short, you’re paying for reliability, accountability and care, not just a van and a driver.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For planned moves, booking at least one to two weeks ahead gives you the best choice of dates and times. However, our same day removals service exists for situations where that isn’t possible. If you need to move urgently in Hammersmith, contact us as soon as you know, even if it’s the morning of the move. We’ll check availability, give you realistic options and, if we can’t cover everything in one visit, suggest practical solutions to get you out of your old property on time.
