When you need to move today, you need a removals team that is organised, calm under pressure, and genuinely experienced. At Man and Van Kennington, we provide fast, reliable same day removals across Kennington and surrounding areas, handled by a professional, local team that moves people and businesses every single day.

What Our Same Day Removals Service Includes

Our same day removals are designed to get you safely from A to B with minimal stress, even on short notice. Subject to availability, we can usually arrange a vehicle and crew the same day you call.

Typical same day moves we handle:

• Emergency home moves – last-minute tenancy changes, relationship breakdowns, urgent relocations
• Flat and house moves – studio to family homes, within Kennington or across London
• Student moves – halls to house shares, term-time relocations, storage runs
• Office and shop moves – small offices, start-ups, retail units needing quick turnaround
• Urgent item transport – bulky purchases, furniture, appliances, or important equipment

All moves are carried out by trained movers using the right vehicles, trolleys and protective materials to keep your belongings safe in transit.

Local Kennington Expertise You Can Rely On

Working daily in and around Kennington means we know the local streets, parking restrictions and access points extremely well. This local knowledge is essential on same day moves, where there is less time for planning.

We are used to:

• Tight access in mansion blocks and period conversions
• Resident-only parking bays and loading restrictions
• Co-ordinating with concierges, building managers and neighbours
• Managing busy routes into central London at peak times

Because we are local, we can usually reach you quickly and adapt to changing circumstances on the day.

Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If your completion date shifts or a move falls through and you need to change plans at the last minute, we can often step in to provide a same day solution. We handle everything from single-bedroom homes to larger properties, always taking care with your furniture, flooring and fixtures.

Renters

Last-minute notices, deposit disputes or landlord issues can mean you have to move faster than expected. We help renters vacate properties quickly and in good order, protecting both your belongings and the property to minimise the risk of deductions.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We regularly assist landlords and agents who need properties cleared or part-cleared quickly between tenancies. From removing leftover furniture to shifting appliances, we can provide professional, same day assistance that keeps your schedule on track.

Businesses

For small businesses, delays are costly. We support urgent office moves, quick relocations of equipment, and movement of stock between units. Our team works efficiently to minimise downtime and disruption to your operations.

Students

Students often face tight deadlines at the end of term or sudden changes in accommodation. Our same day removals in Kennington are ideal for room or flat moves, including shared properties and halls, with smaller loads and flexible timing.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines (subject to safe disconnection)
• Boxes, bags and suitcases of personal belongings
• Office furniture and equipment – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, computers (properly packed)
• Home electronics – TVs, sound systems, gaming equipment
• Garage and garden items – tools, outdoor furniture, bikes

Items Excluded or Requiring Special Arrangement

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, paint thinners, chemicals)
• Illegal or stolen items
• Live animals (including pets and livestock)
• High-value items not declared in advance (art, antiques, jewellery, large sums of cash)
• Heavy machinery or items requiring specialist lifting gear
• Pianos or very large safes (unless pre-agreed, as they need specific equipment)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the enquiry or survey stage so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Same Day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Call or message us as early as possible. We will ask key questions about your current property, destination, access, volume of belongings and timing. Based on this, we give you a clear, no-obligation estimate. For same day work, speed is important, but we still aim to be transparent so you understand the likely cost and schedule.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For many same day removals in Kennington, we can complete a quick virtual survey using photos or video. Where practical and time allows, we may visit briefly in person. The survey helps us allocate the right size vehicle, crew and equipment, reducing the risk of delays or multiple trips.

3. Packing & Preparation

Depending on how much time you have, we can offer:

• Owner-packed moves – you pack, we supply muscle, vehicle and protection
• Partial packing – we help with fragile or heavy items only
• Full packing service – for urgent, full-property moves where you need us to handle almost everything

We bring blankets, straps and basic protective materials as standard to safeguard your items.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team loads your belongings systematically, protecting furniture and ensuring weight is evenly distributed. We work carefully but efficiently, essential on a same day schedule. Vehicles are clean, well-maintained and purpose-built for removals, with your goods covered by our goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing larger items sensibly so you can settle in more quickly. We treat your new property with respect, taking care around walls, floors and shared areas. Once everything is unloaded and you are happy, we complete a final check before we leave.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same day removals are typically priced based on:

• Volume of goods (number of rooms or estimated cubic capacity)
• Access at both addresses (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
• Travel distance between locations
• Number of movers required
• Any packing service or materials needed

For urgent, same day work, there may be a premium due to short notice and scheduling pressures, but we always explain costs clearly before you confirm. You will receive a straightforward breakdown so you know what is included. There are no hidden extras for things like fuel within the agreed area or standard protective equipment.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-with-a-Van?

On a same day move, the temptation is often to grab the cheapest van you can find and hope for the best. In our experience, this is when problems occur – damaged items, delays, no-shows or vehicles that are not suitable.

With a professional removals company like Man and Van Kennington you benefit from:

• Trained crews who know how to handle furniture, awkward staircases and fragile items
• Fully insured moves with proper goods in transit and public liability cover
• Purpose-built vehicles with protection, straps and trolleys
• Clear communication, agreed arrival windows and confirmed bookings
• Support with packing, dismantling and reassembly where required

Same day moves are stressful enough without adding unnecessary risk. Using a reputable, established service gives you structure and peace of mind.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. Every move is carried out under clear terms and with appropriate cover in place:

• Goods in transit insurance – protects your belongings while they are in our vehicle
• Public liability cover – protects against damage to third-party property or injury in the unlikely event of an incident
• Trained moving teams – staff are properly briefed, experienced and follow safe handling practices

We also work to recognised industry standards in terms of inventory, loading methods and customer communication, even when time is tight on a same day job.

Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability

Even on urgent moves, we never compromise on care. Furniture is protected with blankets and positioned securely in the vehicle. Fragile items are loaded and stacked so they are not crushed or exposed to movement.

We also take a responsible approach to the environment:

• Reusing durable boxes and protective materials where hygienic and appropriate
• Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage and congestion
• Maintaining vehicles for better fuel efficiency and lower emissions
• Advising customers on efficient packing to minimise waste

Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases

Emergency House Move

A family in Kennington needed to vacate a rental property at 24 hours' notice due to unexpected landlord issues. We carried out a rapid virtual survey, sent a two-person crew with a large van, helped finish packing, and moved them into temporary accommodation the same day, with all main furniture and essentials safely installed.

Last-Minute Office Relocation

A small business required a quick move from a serviced office into a new co-working space. We scheduled an early arrival, disassembled desks, packed IT equipment securely, and had them operational in their new location by the afternoon, minimising disruption to staff and clients.

Student Move Between Flats

A group of students had a tenancy overlap issue and needed to clear a flat in Kennington on the same day keys were handed back. We provided a compact vehicle and crew for a half-day move, transferring all belongings to their new shared house and helping place heavier items upstairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do same day removals in Kennington cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of the move, access, distance and how much help you need with packing and dismantling. Smaller same day moves, such as a one-bed flat or student room, will usually be at the lower end, while full house or office moves cost more. There may also be a premium for short-notice bookings due to scheduling pressures. We always provide a clear estimate before you confirm, explaining what is included so you can compare options and budget with confidence.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate same day requests, especially within Kennington and nearby areas, but availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of your move. Smaller jobs are usually easier to slot in at short notice. The earlier in the day you contact us, the more likely it is we can help. If a full same day move is not possible, we may still be able to move essential items or arrange an early next-day solution. We will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve.

Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?

Yes. Your items are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle, and we also carry public liability cover. This applies whether your move is booked weeks in advance or on the same day. We will explain the key terms, including any limits and exclusions, before the move. For particularly high-value items, we may ask for details in advance so we can confirm appropriate cover or suggest additional protection if needed. Our aim is to give you reassurance that your belongings are properly protected.

What is included in your same day removals service?

As standard, our same day service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional moving crew, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We bring blankets, straps and basic protection to keep your furniture and boxes secure. Packing services, dismantling and reassembly can often be added, depending on the time available and complexity of the move. We will confirm exactly what is included in your quote, so you know whether you are packing yourself, what materials we will supply and whether any additional services are required.

How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service often provides transport and labour only, with limited or no insurance, planning or specialised equipment. By contrast, we operate as a professional removals company: trained staff, purpose-built vehicles, proper insurance, documented processes and clear terms of service. We assess access, volume and risks in advance, even on same day jobs, and bring the correct tools to move your belongings safely. This reduces the chance of damage, delays or last-minute cancellations, which are particularly disruptive when you are already working to a tight deadline.

How far in advance should I book, and can I upgrade to same day if plans change?

For larger moves, booking at least one to two weeks in advance is ideal, as it allows us to plan resources and keep costs lower. However, we understand that situations change. If your circumstances suddenly require a same day move, contact us as soon as possible. If you are an existing customer, we will try to adjust your booking to match your new timing, subject to availability. Even if we cannot move everything immediately, we can often provide an interim solution, such as moving essentials first or arranging early next-day completion.
