What Our Same day Removals Service Includes
Same day does not have to mean rushed or careless. Our Nunhead team delivers a complete removal service adapted to the time you have available:

All work is carried out by our own trained local team using clean, equipped vans, with protective blankets, straps and tools for dismantling and reassembly where required.
Local Same day Removals Expertise in Nunhead
Operating from Nunhead, we know the area’s streets, parking restrictions and building layouts very well. That local knowledge matters on a same day move, where time is tight and access can be challenging.
- Experience with Victorian terraces, mansion blocks and modern apartments
- Assistance with parking arrangements and loading bay planning
- Familiarity with local councils, permit rules and common access issues
- Efficient routing to Peckham, Brockley, New Cross, Dulwich and wider London
This allows us to plan quickly and realistically, so you get a reliable timeframe rather than vague promises.
Who Our Same day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if your completion date has moved forward, a buyer is ready sooner than expected, or previous removal arrangements have fallen through. We can handle full household contents, including larger furniture and garden items.
Renters
Perfect for tenants who must vacate a property at short notice due to contract dates, landlord requirements or unexpected issues. We regularly handle flat moves with stair-only access and restricted parking.
Landlords
We assist landlords needing same day removals for abandoned belongings, end-of-tenancy clearances or preparing a property for new occupants. We can move items into storage or another address as instructed.
Businesses
If your office, shop or studio needs to move quickly, our team organises same day commercial removals in Nunhead, including desks, IT equipment, stock and files, with careful handling and clear labelling for easy setup at the new site.
Students
We offer affordable, flexible moves for students living in and around Nunhead, whether you’re changing house, moving into halls, or taking belongings to storage between terms.

Our Same day Removals Process
Even when time is short, we follow a clear, professional process to keep everything organised and properly protected.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Man with Van Nunhead by phone or online and explain that you need same day removals. We will ask key questions: addresses, property type, floors, lift access, parking, and an outline of what needs moving. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, either fixed price or hourly, depending on the job.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most same day moves we carry out a rapid virtual survey via video call or photographs. This allows us to assess access, volume of items, and any dismantling needs. For larger or more complex jobs, if time allows, we can attend in person to ensure the correct vehicle size and team.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you are already packed, we focus on protection and organisation. Where needed, we can provide basic same day packing for smaller moves, including boxes and wrapping materials. We carefully protect furniture with blankets, shrink wrap and covers, and we can dismantle standard beds, tables and wardrobes if required.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads the van methodically, securing items with straps and stacking to minimise movement in transit. We choose sensible routes, taking into account London traffic and time constraints, and keep you informed of our expected arrival time at the destination.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property we unload room by room, placing items where you want them. We can reassemble furniture that we dismantled, and we position heavy items such as wardrobes and appliances in their final locations, so you avoid unnecessary lifting later.
Pricing for Same day Removals in Nunhead
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Same day moves are usually charged either:
- By the hour – ideal for smaller or flexible moves
- As a fixed price – suitable for clearly defined, full-property moves
Your quote will reflect:
- Volume of items and size of vehicle required
- Number of movers needed
- Travel distance and any congestion or parking costs
- Additional services, such as packing or furniture assembly
We confirm all charges in writing before work begins, so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden fees added on the day.
Why Choose Professional Same day Removals Over DIY
When you are under pressure to move quickly, it can be tempting to hire the first casual van available or to try to manage with friends. In practice, this often leads to damage, delays and disagreements.
Using a professional removal company like Man with Van Nunhead gives you:
- Fully insured cover for your possessions while we handle and transport them
- Trained movers who know safe lifting techniques and efficient loading
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Reliable arrival times and clear communication
- Accountability, documented quotes and receipts for your records
The result is a less stressful move, even on the same day, with far lower risk to both your belongings and your back.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised standards for local removals.
- Goods in transit insurance – protects your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values.
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property or injury during the move.
- Trained moving teams – staff are briefed on safe handling, loading techniques and customer care, and work under experienced supervision.
Policy details and limits are available on request. We are always happy to explain exactly how your items are covered for peace of mind.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even with tight timelines, we do not compromise on care. Furniture is wrapped, fragile items are kept separate, and loads are secured properly for transit. We aim to protect both your possessions and your property, using floor protection and taking care on stairways and in communal areas.
We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact where possible by:
- Reusing strong, clean packing materials where appropriate
- Offering collection of used boxes for reuse on future moves
- Planning routes to minimise unnecessary mileage
- Encouraging customers to donate unwanted items rather than dispose of them
Real-World Same day Removal Scenarios We Handle
Moving House at Short Notice
Completion dates sometimes change with little warning. We regularly help Nunhead homeowners and renters who suddenly need to be out by the end of the day, coordinating packing support where required and prioritising essential items so you can function in your new home immediately.
Urgent Office or Studio Relocation
Businesses occasionally face lease issues, emergencies or opportunities that require moving quickly. We organise same day office removals, moving desks, chairs, stock and equipment with clear labelling, so you can resume work as soon as possible.
Last-Minute End-of-Tenancy Moves
Students and renters often call us when arrangements fall through or they have underestimated the work involved. We step in to clear rooms and flats efficiently, helping you meet check-out deadlines and avoid unnecessary charges.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Nunhead cost?
Costs depend on the size of your move, distance, number of movers required and whether you need packing or assembly services. Smaller same day moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full-house moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. When you contact us, we will run through a few questions about your property and belongings, then give you a clear, itemised quotation before any work starts. There are no hidden extras, and we will always explain how to keep costs as reasonable as possible.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate same day requests, especially within Nunhead and nearby areas, but availability depends on our existing bookings and the size of the job. Smaller flat or room moves are usually easier to fit in at short notice. For larger house or office relocations, we may need to check vehicle and crew availability carefully. The sooner you contact us on the day, the better chance we have of helping. If same day is impossible, we will offer the earliest realistic alternative.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Our goods in transit insurance covers your belongings while they are in our care and being transported, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also carry public liability cover, which protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury in the course of our work. We treat same day moves with the same level of care and protection as planned moves. If you have particularly high-value items, let us know in advance so we can confirm the level of cover and any additional precautions needed.
What exactly is included in your same day removals service?
Our service normally includes the vehicle, fuel, a local professional moving team, loading, safe transport and unloading at your new address. On request, we can also help with basic packing, supply boxes and materials, and dismantle or reassemble standard furniture such as beds and tables. Quotes specify what is covered so there is no confusion on the day. Parking charges, congestion or tolls are listed clearly where applicable. We are happy to tailor the service to your needs, from a simple van and driver to a full, managed move.
How is a professional removals service different from a casual man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without insurance, proper equipment or trained staff. A professional removal service like Man with Van Nunhead provides planned loading, protection for your items, and fully insured cover while in our care. Our team is trained to move heavy and awkward items safely, and we have procedures for handling access issues, parking and inventory. You receive written quotes, receipts and clear communication, reducing the risk of damage, delays or disagreements, particularly important when moving at very short notice.
How far in advance should I book if I think I might need a same day move?
If you suspect you may need to move at short notice, it is wise to contact us as early as possible, even if your plans are not confirmed. We can pencil in provisional slots, discuss your likely requirements and explain what you can do to prepare. On the actual day, we then have a much better chance of fitting you in. For genuine emergencies that arise suddenly, call us as soon as you know; we will always be honest about what we can achieve and when.
