Same Day Removals in Kennington – How We Help
Our same day removals service is a fully managed move carried out on the day you contact us, subject to availability. We handle the full process: collecting your belongings, protecting and loading them safely, transporting them, and placing everything where it needs to go in your new property.
Because we are a local Kennington removals company, we know the area, traffic patterns and access issues, which allows us to react quickly and still work methodically. Even on urgent jobs, our teams remain professional, calm and organised.
Local Expertise in Kennington
Operating daily in and around Kennington, we understand:
- Basement and top-floor flat access
- Resident-only parking and loading bays
- Busy times on key routes in and out of Kennington
- Restrictions on larger vehicles on residential roads
This local knowledge means we can often accept urgent same-day bookings that national operators refuse. We plan vehicle sizes, parking and timing around Kennington’s specific challenges so your move runs as smoothly as possible, even at short notice.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If your completion date has shifted, the chain has moved quickly, or you have been let down by another company, we can step in to complete your house move the same day, subject to crew and vehicle availability.
Renters
Tenancy ending earlier than expected, a landlord requiring you to vacate, or a last-minute decision to move? We regularly assist tenants in Kennington with emergency flat and house moves, including awkward stairwells and tight access.
Landlords
For landlords needing a property cleared quickly after a tenancy, our teams can remove furniture and belongings on the same day, helping you prepare for new tenants or essential works.
Businesses
Office lease ending, urgent relocation, or equipment that must be moved today? Our same day office removals support local Kennington businesses with minimal downtime, planning moves around your operating hours where possible.
Students
Last-minute moves out of halls or shared houses are common. We provide same day student removals for smaller loads, packing help if required, and flexible timing to fit around exams or travel.

- Boxes of personal belongings, clothes and books
- TVs, computers and other electronics
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and equipment
- Student belongings and part-loads
Items We Cannot or May Not Move
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, some items are excluded or require prior agreement:
- Hazardous materials (fuels, chemicals, gas bottles)
- Illegal items or substances
- Open paint tins and similar liquids prone to spillage
- Pets or live animals (we can advise on specialist transport)

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Call us as early as possible. We will ask a few focused questions about your current property, destination, access, volume of items and timing. Based on this, we provide a transparent estimate and confirm whether same-day attendance is possible. For urgent moves, speed is important, but we still take time to understand your requirements properly.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For many same-day moves in Kennington, we carry out a rapid virtual survey using video or photos. For larger properties or more complex jobs, we may send a surveyor if time allows. The survey ensures we allocate the right size vehicle, number of staff and any specialist equipment such as hoists or piano dollies.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer same day packing services subject to availability. Our team can bring professional packing materials, dismantle furniture where required, and protect items with blankets, covers and wrapping. If you have already packed, we will check box weights and make sure everything is safe to move before loading begins.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained removals team carefully load your belongings, securing them inside the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We plan the route around Kennington traffic and any time restrictions, and keep you updated on arrival times at your new property. Even on urgent jobs, we never rush at the expense of safety.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload methodically, placing furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble basic furniture that we dismantled, position appliances, and move items until you are happy with their placement. Before we leave, we carry out a final check with you to ensure nothing has been missed.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals in Kennington
Same day removals do involve tighter scheduling and require us to mobilise crews quickly, but our pricing remains clear and fair. Costs are typically based on:
- Volume of items and property size
- Distance between addresses
- Access difficulties (stairs, long carries, no lift)
- Number of movers required
- Additional services such as packing or dismantling
We offer fixed-price quotes wherever possible so you know the likely cost before we start. Any potential extra charges, such as waiting time or additional drops, are explained in advance. There are no hidden fees added at the end of the job.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
Attempting a same-day move by hiring a van and doing it yourself can quickly become stressful and risky. With Kennington Movers you benefit from:
- Trained staff experienced in handling heavy and awkward items
- Proper lifting techniques to avoid injury
- Vehicle space used efficiently, reducing the number of trips
- Protective materials to prevent damage
- Coordinated planning, even at very short notice
Casual man-and-van operators may not be fully insured, may work alone, and often lack the equipment and planning needed for a full property move. With us, you know your belongings and your property are being handled by a structured, accountable removals company.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Kennington Movers is:
- Fully insured for removals work
- Covered by goods in transit insurance for your belongings
- Protected by public liability cover for work at your property
- Staffed by trained, uniformed moving teams
Our crews follow agreed handling procedures, use appropriate equipment, and are supervised to maintain consistent standards. We provide documentation for your records on request, which can be useful for landlords, agents or business compliance.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on same day moves, we do not compromise on care. We use padded covers for furniture, mattress protectors, floor runners and door protectors where required to protect both your items and the properties.
We also consider our environmental impact. Reusable moving blankets and durable crates are used wherever possible, and we plan routes to minimise unnecessary mileage. When clients need to dispose of unwanted items, we aim to reuse or recycle through appropriate channels rather than send everything to landfill.
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Moving House at Short Notice
Completion brought forward or another company cancelled? We regularly help Kennington homeowners move entire 1–3 bedroom properties with only a day’s notice, coordinating keys, parking and access with agents and solicitors where needed.
Urgent Office Relocation
A sudden change in lease or operational needs may force a quick office move. We can move desks, chairs, IT equipment and files the same day, planning around your working hours to reduce disruption.
Emergency Flat or Room Moves
From disputes and property issues to last-minute tenancy changes, we support renters and students who must vacate quickly. Our team is accustomed to navigating stairwells, lifts and tight hallways common to Kennington flats.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does same day removals in Kennington cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your move, distance travelled, access at each property and the level of service you require. Smaller same-day flat moves and student jobs may be completed within a minimum charge, while larger house or office moves are quoted individually. Because same-day moves involve rapid scheduling, the rate can be slightly higher than a pre-booked service, but we always provide a clear, itemised estimate before you commit. Contact us with basic details and we will give you a realistic price range straight away.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate urgent moves, but availability depends on how busy our crews and vehicles are on the day. Calling early in the morning gives us the best chance of fitting you in. For smaller moves and part-loads in Kennington, we can often respond very quickly. Larger properties may be more challenging at very short notice, but we will always be honest about what is achievable and suggest practical options, such as splitting the move over two visits if necessary.
Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care, and we hold public liability cover for any accidental damage to property. As with any insurance, certain exclusions and limits apply, which we can explain in clear terms when you book. For very high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional cover or specific handling arrangements. Our aim is to ensure you are properly protected and fully informed before the move begins.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard same day service includes a suitably sized removals vehicle, a team of trained movers, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide basic protection for furniture and key items as standard. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and disposal of unwanted items by prior arrangement. During your enquiry, we will confirm exactly what is included in your quote so expectations are clear.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals company like Kennington Movers provides structured planning, fully insured services and a properly equipped team. We carry protective materials, trolleys and tools, and follow established procedures for handling your belongings. Many man-and-van operators work alone or in small ad-hoc teams, may not offer adequate insurance, and often focus on transport rather than full move management. For urgent same-day moves, this difference is critical: you need reliability, clear communication and accountability from start to finish.
How far in advance should I book a same day move?
For same-day work, contact us as early as you possibly can, ideally first thing in the morning. This gives us the best chance to allocate a crew and vehicle that suit your job. If you know a move date is likely but not confirmed, let us know in advance so we can note it in our schedule. For non-urgent moves, booking one to two weeks ahead is ideal, but we will always try to help, even with only a few hours’ notice, where capacity allows.
