Local Expertise in Colliers Wood
Our crews work in and around Colliers Wood every day. We know the local streets, parking restrictions, one-way systems and building layouts. That local knowledge is especially important on same day moves, where there is less time to plan and mistakes can cause delays.
We regularly complete urgent moves from:
- Flats and maisonettes near Colliers Wood station
- Houses off the main High Street and surrounding residential roads
- Purpose-built blocks and new developments with tight access
- Local shops, offices and small business premises
Because we are close by, we can often get a vehicle to you quickly and provide realistic time estimates for travel and loading in the Colliers Wood area.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Chains can collapse or complete at the last minute. If your completion date moves unexpectedly and you need to be out today, we can help you move from or into your Colliers Wood home with minimal disruption.
Renters
Tenancy end dates, landlord requests or sudden issues with a property sometimes leave renters needing to move quickly. We handle same day flat and house moves, including small and large rented properties, making sure nothing is left behind.
Landlords
If you need a property cleared at short notice – for example after a tenancy ends or in an emergency situation – we can provide fast, efficient removals of furniture and tenant belongings by prior agreement.
Businesses
For small offices, shops and studios in Colliers Wood, our same day removals can cover urgent relocations, equipment moves, or clearing premises before lease deadlines. We work to minimise downtime and keep your operations running.
Students
Students often face last-minute changes to accommodation. We can move you between halls, private rentals or storage units at short notice, with sensible pricing for smaller loads.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Call us as soon as you know you need a same day move in Colliers Wood. We will ask key questions about property type, access, number of rooms and destinations. Based on that, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote. Where time allows, this will be in writing; for urgent situations we confirm details verbally and follow up by email or text.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most same day removals we carry out a quick virtual survey using photos, video call or a detailed phone discussion. This allows us to assess volume, access, parking and any special requirements. For particularly complex moves, and if time permits, we may send someone briefly onsite before the team arrives.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you are already packed, we focus on protecting furniture and breakables. Where time and availability allow, we can offer a same day packing service for part or all of your property, using strong boxes, tape and wrapping materials. We will always be honest about what can realistically be packed and moved within the time available.
4. Loading & Transport
Our team arrives in a suitably sized, clean, equipped vehicle. We protect key items with blankets and covers, use skates and trolleys where needed, and load methodically to maximise space and minimise risk of damage. Once loaded, we transport your belongings directly to the new address or storage facility, using the most efficient route.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload into the rooms you specify and place furniture as directed. We work efficiently but carefully, protecting floors and walls where required. Before leaving, we check that everything listed has been unloaded and placed as requested.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day removals in Colliers Wood are typically priced based on:
- Volume of goods and size of vehicle required
- Number of movers needed
- Travel distance between addresses
- Access difficulty (stairs, long carries, no lift, parking)
- Time of day and urgency
We offer clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Rates may be slightly higher for urgent call-outs, but we will always explain costs before we confirm your booking so you can make an informed decision.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
Attempting a same day move yourself can be stressful and risky. Hiring a van at short notice, finding friends to help, and lifting heavy items without proper equipment can easily lead to delays, damage or injury.
With Colliers Wood Movers you benefit from:
- Trained, experienced movers handling your belongings
- Correct lifting techniques and appropriate moving equipment
- Proper protection for furniture and property
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Reliable, well-maintained vehicles ready to go
Compared to a casual man-and-van, we provide a structured service, proper documentation and a higher level of accountability and care.
Insurance and Professional Standards
All our same day removals are backed by:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability insurance for work carried out in and around your property
- Trained, uniformed crews who follow professional moving practices
We treat every urgent move with the same care and diligence as a planned removal. If anything unexpected arises on the day, we communicate clearly and work with you to find practical solutions.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even under time pressure, we focus on safe handling and responsible working:
- Use of protective covers for mattresses, sofas and key items where possible
- Blankets, straps and padding to reduce movement during transit
- Efficient loading to minimise the number of trips and fuel used
- Re-use of durable packing materials where practical
- Recycling of cardboard and other materials through appropriate channels
Our aim is to complete your same day move quickly while still looking after your belongings, your property and the environment.
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Moving House at Short Notice
Completion brought forward or a last-minute agreement on a purchase can mean you need to move in or out of a Colliers Wood property today. We can step in where other movers cannot accommodate the new date, helping you keep your chain on track.
Urgent Office Relocations
Lease end dates, sudden maintenance issues or a need to downsize can all demand an immediate office move. We handle desks, chairs, filing cabinets, IT equipment and stock, working around your opening hours where possible.
Emergency Moves and Property Issues
Floods, leaks, structural issues or disputes can make a property uninhabitable at short notice. Our team can help remove your belongings quickly and safely, taking them to alternative accommodation or storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a same day removal in Colliers Wood cost?
The cost of a same day removal depends on the size of your move, access, distance travelled and how urgently you need us. Smaller flat moves within Colliers Wood are generally cheaper than full house moves or longer-distance relocations. Because these jobs are arranged at short notice, rates can be slightly higher than for pre-booked moves, but we always provide a clear quotation before you commit. Call us with basic details – property size, addresses and timing – and we will give you an honest, transparent estimate.
Can you always offer same day availability?
Availability for same day removals depends on our existing schedule, the size of your move and how far our crews are from you when you call. We can often accommodate smaller moves at short notice in Colliers Wood, and we will always try to help, but we never overpromise. If we cannot complete the whole move the same day, we may suggest part-moves or an early next-day slot. The earlier you contact us in the day, the more options we are likely to have for vehicles and crews.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered under our standard goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and our public liability cover applies while we are working at your properties. As with any insurance, there are terms, conditions and exclusions, which we are happy to explain on request. To help us protect your goods properly, we may ask that fragile and high-value items are packed carefully or highlighted to the crew so we can take extra precautions during loading, transport and unloading.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our same day removals service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We provide blankets, straps and basic protective materials as standard. Where time and availability allow, we can also offer packing assistance and supply of boxes and packaging at an additional cost. Parking charges, congestion charges or long carrying distances may be chargeable, but these will be discussed in advance wherever possible so you know exactly what is and is not included in the agreed price.
How is your service different from a man-and-van?
A man-and-van service often offers transport only, with limited labour, protection and accountability. Our same day removals in Colliers Wood are carried out by professional, trained teams using purpose-equipped vehicles. We provide insurance cover, structured loading and unloading, and a more comprehensive level of care for your belongings and property. You also benefit from clear communication, confirmed bookings and itemised pricing, which makes the whole process more predictable and less stressful, especially when you are already under time pressure.
How far in advance should I book if I suspect I may need a same day move?
If you think there is a chance you will need a same day removal, it is best to speak to us as early as possible, even if your plans are not confirmed. We can pencil in provisional arrangements, talk through options and advise what is realistic. Once you have a definite answer on timings, contact us immediately so we can firm up the booking. The more notice we have, even within the same day, the easier it is to allocate an appropriate crew and vehicle to your move.
