• Rapid response collection and delivery within Greenwich and across London

Local Expertise in Greenwich

As a local removals company, we know Greenwich inside out – from narrow one-way streets and controlled parking zones to busy routes around the Cutty Sark, Greenwich Park and the university area.

This local knowledge matters on a same day move. We can:

• Plan realistic arrival times, even during rush hour
• Advise on parking and loading options for your specific street
• Select the most suitable vehicle size for tight access
• Work efficiently in flats with no lift, basement entrances and mews properties

Our teams operate daily throughout Greenwich, Blackheath, Charlton, Deptford and the wider South East London area.

Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For

Same day removals are often driven by deadlines, emergencies or last-minute changes. We regularly help:

Homeowners

Ideal when completion dates shift or keys are released later than expected. We can move you from or to houses and larger flats, carefully handling furniture, white goods and personal belongings.

Renters

Perfect for short-notice tenancy changes, unexpected notice periods, or when landlords require you to vacate quickly. We handle both small and full flat moves, including fragile items and boxed belongings.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We assist with urgent clear-outs, part-moves and reconfiguration between tenancies, removing furniture or moving it between properties on the same day where possible.

Businesses

For shops, offices and small commercial units in Greenwich, we offer same day office removals, urgent relocation of equipment, stock transfers and internal rearrangements.

Students

We frequently support students moving into or out of halls and shared houses around the University of Greenwich and nearby campuses, often at very short notice.

What We Can Move on the Same Day

Our same day removals service can cover most everyday household and office contents, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture (dismantled where needed)
• Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other appliances
• Boxes of clothing, books, documents and personal items
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
• TVs, monitors and other electronics, wrapped and protected
• Small items of gym equipment and hobby gear

Items We Cannot or May Not Move

For safety and insurance reasons, our same day service generally excludes:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Unboxed loose small items when there is insufficient time to pack safely
• Valuables such as cash, jewellery and important documents (recommended you carry these personally)
• Animals and live plants on longer-distance journeys
• Items that exceed safe weight limits or cannot be moved without specialist equipment

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise honestly during your enquiry so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Same Day Removals Process

Even when time is tight, we follow a structured process to keep your move controlled and safe.

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with as much detail as possible: addresses, access details, number of rooms, main items and your ideal timescale. We confirm whether same day capacity is available and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on your specific requirements.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For many same day moves, we carry out a quick virtual survey via photos or video call. For larger properties in Greenwich, we may send a surveyor if timing allows. The survey ensures we send an appropriately sized vehicle and crew, and identify any access challenges in advance.

3. Packing & Preparation

Where items are already packed, we focus on protection and safe handling. If you need help packing on the day, we can provide a same day packing service subject to time and scope. We supply boxes, tape and wrapping as required and ensure fragile items are properly protected.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team loads your belongings systematically, using removal blankets, straps and trolleys. Heavy and bulky items are secured first, then boxes and lighter items. We select appropriate routes in and out of Greenwich to minimise delays and keep you updated on timings.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload carefully and place items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble basic furniture we dismantled at the origin and position large items so you can use your new space straight away. We remove our packing materials and leave your property tidy.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same day moves involve extra planning and scheduling pressure, but our pricing remains transparent and fair. We typically price same day removals in Greenwich based on:

• The volume of goods and number of rooms
• Distance between properties
• Access issues (stairs, parking, long carries)
• Number of movers required
• Whether packing materials and packing services are needed
• Urgency and time of day (evening or weekend surcharges may apply)

Your quote will clearly state what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.

Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY

When time is short, it can be tempting to hire a casual van or rely on friends. In practice, this often leads to delays, damage and unnecessary stress. With Greenwich Movers you benefit from:

• Professional handling techniques that reduce the risk of breakages and injury
• Suitable vehicles with proper securing equipment
• Planned loading so everything fits safely on one trip where possible
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for peace of mind
• Reliable arrival and completion times agreed in advance

For urgent moves, a structured, insured service is usually more economical once you factor in time off work, multiple trips and potential damage with DIY approaches.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. Every same day removals job benefits from:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our care
• Public liability cover for work at your property and communal areas
• Trained moving teams experienced in handling urgent and complex moves
• Adherence to safe lifting practices and correct use of equipment

We will explain the scope of our insurance, any limits or exclusions, and how to declare high-value items so that everything is properly recorded.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Urgent does not mean careless. We take the same level of care on same day removals as we do on fully planned moves:

• Use of clean removal blankets and mattress covers
• Careful protection of doorways, bannisters and flooring where required
• Secure strapping of furniture and appliances in the vehicle

We also work to minimise waste and environmental impact by:

• Reusing strong cartons where appropriate
• Offering collection and reuse of boxes after your move
• Planning efficient routes around Greenwich to reduce unnecessary mileage

Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases

Examples of how customers in Greenwich use our same day service:

• Moving house at short notice: Exchange and completion brought forward, requiring a full 2-bed flat move the same day.
• Office relocation: A small office in central Greenwich needing to move desks, chairs and IT equipment to a serviced office before lease end.
• Urgent landlord move: Clearing furniture from a rental property between tenancies to allow immediate cleaning and redecoration.
• Student moves: Last-minute room changes and end-of-term moves into storage or new accommodation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a same day removal in Greenwich cost?

The cost of a same day removal in Greenwich depends on how much you are moving, the distance between addresses, access conditions and how urgent the job is. Smaller moves, such as a studio or a few large items, will usually be cheaper than a full household or office move. Same day services can carry a premium compared with bookings made in advance, as we may need to reallocate vehicles and staff. We will always provide a clear, itemised quote before you confirm your booking.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

Same day availability depends on our existing schedule, vehicle capacity and staffing on that particular day. During busy periods, such as weekends and month-end, slots can fill quickly. However, because we operate multiple vehicles across Greenwich and surrounding areas, we can often accommodate urgent requests, especially for smaller moves or single items. The best approach is to call us as early as possible with full details; we will give you an honest answer on what we can do and suggest realistic options if same day is not feasible.

What insurance cover do you provide for same day removals?

Our same day removals are covered by the same protections as our standard moves. We include goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being transported and public liability cover for work at your property and communal areas. There are limits and exclusions, for example on very high-value or fragile items, which we will explain when you book. We encourage customers to point out any particularly valuable pieces so these can be noted and given extra protection during handling and loading.

What is included in your same day removals service?

Our service typically includes a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, protective blankets and equipment, loading at your current address, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you specify at your new address. Subject to time and agreement, we can also provide basic dismantling and reassembly of furniture and a same day packing service. Packing materials, parking costs and congestion or toll charges are normally itemised separately. We will outline everything included in your quote so you have a clear picture before you proceed.

How is a professional removal different from a man-and-van?

A professional removals service offers structured planning, trained staff and formal insurance, which many ad-hoc man-and-van operators do not. Our team uses correct lifting methods, protective materials and suitable vehicles configured for removals work. We provide written confirmations, clear pricing and support throughout the move. With a casual man-and-van, you may get a cheaper hourly rate, but you often sacrifice reliability, accountability and protection if something goes wrong. For same day moves, that extra assurance and organisation can make a significant difference to the outcome.

How far in advance should I book a same day removal?

By definition, same day moves are arranged at short notice, but the earlier in the day you contact us, the better the chance we can help. If you suspect you may need an urgent move, it is worth speaking to us as soon as possible, even if details are not final. For planned moves where timing is tight, booking at least a few days ahead gives you more options and may reduce costs. We will always do our best to accommodate genuine emergencies whenever our schedule allows.
