Same day Removals
Same day Removals Earls Court
When you need to move today, you need a removals company that is organised, responsive and calm under pressure. At Earls Court Movers, our dedicated same day removals team in Earls Court specialises in short-notice and emergency moves for homes and businesses across SW5 and the surrounding areas.
Professional Same Day Removals in Earls Court
Our same day service is designed for situations where you cannot wait: last-minute completion dates, landlord deadlines, urgent office relocations, or when another mover has let you down. We provide a structured, fully managed move at short notice, with trained, uniformed staff and modern vehicles, all fully insured for your peace of mind.
Unlike casual man-and-van operators, we apply the same professional standards to urgent moves as we do to planned relocations. That means clear communication, careful handling, and accurate timings throughout the day.
Local Earls Court Expertise
Working daily in Earls Court and neighbouring areas, we understand the realities of moving in SW5: tight stairwells, basement flats, mansion blocks, resident parking schemes and busy main roads.
- Familiar with Earls Court’s parking and loading restrictions
- Experience with period properties and delicate common areas
- Regular work with local estate agents, landlords and building managers
This local knowledge helps us plan efficient loading, minimise disruption to neighbours and manage your move smoothly, even when it is arranged at the last minute.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if your completion date moves forward unexpectedly or a chain issue means you must be out of your property on very short notice. We manage everything from flats to full family homes, protecting floors, doors and bannisters as we work.
Renters
Perfect for tenants facing sudden notice, end-of-tenancy deadlines or when you secure a new flat sooner than expected. We can coordinate with letting agents, collect or drop off keys, and help you avoid additional rent or penalty charges.
Landlords
We assist landlords who need fast turnaround between tenancies, sensitive clearances, or quick removal of abandoned items. Our team works discreetly, with respect for the property and any building rules.
Businesses
From small offices and studios to retail spaces, we support urgent relocations, short-notice lease ends and emergency moves after incidents such as leaks or power failures. We can move IT, files, stock and furniture efficiently to minimise downtime.
Students
We regularly help students moving into and out of halls or shared flats around Earls Court, Kensington and nearby universities. Same day help is available for exam-period moves, last-minute housing changes or storage runs.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Contact us by phone or online as early as possible in the day. We will ask key questions about property size, access, number of items and your time constraints. When time is tight, we provide an instant, no-obligation estimate and confirm availability there and then.
2. Rapid Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most same day moves we carry out a fast virtual survey using photos or video. For larger or more complex jobs nearby, we may send a surveyor if time permits. The aim is to select the right vehicle size, number of movers and any equipment required so the job is completed in one efficient visit.
3. Packing & Preparation
Depending on what you need, we can provide:
- Full packing service – our team packs your belongings using quality materials
- Partial packing – we focus on fragile or awkward items only
- Owner-packed – you pack; we supply materials on arrival if needed
We use clean blankets, covers and protection for furniture, mattresses, TVs and key surfaces. Where possible, we disassemble and reassemble standard furniture.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional, uniformed crew loads methodically, separating fragile items and securing everything in the vehicle with straps. We plan the route based on current traffic and any time limits at either property. All goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while in our vehicles.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival we unload in a logical order, placing furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. Where agreed, we reassemble furniture and position items so you can settle in as soon as possible. Before leaving, we carry out a quick walk-through with you to ensure nothing has been missed.
Clear and Transparent Pricing
Same day does not have to mean unclear pricing. We explain costs upfront so you know exactly what is included.
- Rates based on vehicle size, number of movers and total hours
- Clear minimum charge and then half-hourly or hourly increments
- Additional services (packing, materials, furniture assembly) quoted separately
- Any congestion charges, parking fees or tolls are itemised
Once we understand the scale of your move, we give a written confirmation of rates by email or message. There are no hidden extras on the day unless you request additional work beyond the original scope.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
On a same day move, the margin for error is small. Choosing a professional removals company rather than attempting DIY or using an unvetted man-and-van can make a significant difference.
- Time efficiency: Trained crews load and unload far faster, reducing the risk of missing deadlines.
- Safety: Correct lifting techniques and equipment help prevent injuries and damage to property.
- Protection: Proper wrapping, covers and stacking protect your belongings and building common areas.
- Reliability: Confirmed bookings, backup vehicles and a managed schedule, not just a verbal promise.
- Insurance: Your goods are covered; your DIY move is not.
For urgent moves in particular, this professionalism can be the difference between a stressful day and a controlled, successful relocation.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Earls Court Movers operates to high professional standards, giving you confidence that your same day move is properly protected.
- Goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover for damage to third-party property or accidental injury
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling furniture, appliances and fragile items
- Regularly maintained, clean and equipped vehicles
- Written confirmations, receipts and documentation for your records
We are happy to discuss cover limits and terms before booking so you understand exactly how your items are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even when time is short, we never cut corners on care. We treat your belongings as if they were our own, ensuring they arrive in the same condition they left.
- Use of protective blankets, floor runners and door protectors
- Careful handling of stairways and lifts in shared buildings
- Re-usable crates and durable packing materials where possible
- Efficient route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions
We are steadily increasing our use of recyclable materials and optimising vehicle loads to reduce the environmental impact of each move, without compromising service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Earls Court cost?
Pricing for same day removals depends on the size of the move, access at each property, distance travelled and how quickly the work must be completed. We normally charge based on the size of vehicle, number of movers and time on site, with a clear minimum charge. Additional services such as packing, materials or dismantling furniture are itemised separately. Once we have basic details, we provide an estimate before you commit, so you understand the likely cost and can tailor the service to suit your budget.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate same day bookings, especially within Earls Court and nearby areas, but availability depends on our schedule and the size of your move. Smaller flat or student moves are usually easier to fit in at short notice than full house relocations. The earlier in the day you contact us, the more options we will have. If we cannot complete everything today, we may propose a split move or extended hours to ensure your key deadlines are still met.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for added protection. This applies whether the move was booked weeks in advance or on the day. We can explain policy limits and exclusions when you book, so you know exactly what is and is not covered. If you have particularly high-value items, please mention them at enquiry stage so we can advise on the best way to protect them.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our core service includes supply of a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We provide blankets and standard protection as part of this. Optional extras include packing and unpacking, packing materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and disposal of unwanted items where agreed. We will run through what you need during the initial call so your quote clearly shows what is included and what is optional, allowing you to choose the level of help that suits you.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals service offers structured planning, trained staff, proper insurance and the right equipment for your move. We carry out rapid surveys, allocate sufficient manpower, bring covers and tools, and work to agreed timings. Many man-and-van operators focus simply on transport and may not be insured for your goods or property. For same day and time-critical moves, the extra reliability, capacity and accountability of a professional mover can significantly reduce stress and the risk of damage or delays.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For a planned move, we recommend booking one to three weeks ahead, but for same day removals you should contact us as soon as you know you need to move. Early morning enquiries are easiest to accommodate on the same day. Even if it is later in the day, it is still worth calling: we may be able to divert a team, offer an evening slot or secure the first available time the following morning, ensuring you meet key handover or tenancy deadlines.
