Local Expertise in Putney and South West London
Putney is our home patch. We know the one-way systems, the tight streets off the Upper Richmond Road, parking restrictions by the river, and the access challenges in mansion blocks and period conversions. This local knowledge helps us plan faster routes, secure parking quickly, and avoid delays that can derail a same day move.
Our teams regularly handle moves in Putney, Fulham, Wandsworth, Richmond and the wider south west London area. If you need rapid help in or around Putney, we’re close by and ready to respond.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if your completion date has changed unexpectedly, your original removals company has cancelled, or you need a property cleared quickly before handover. We can move full houses or focus on key items that must be out today.
Renters
Perfect for last-minute tenancy changes, unexpected notice, or if a new landlord needs the property vacated urgently. We regularly help tenants in Putney with short-notice flat moves, including top-floor and lift-free buildings.
Landlords & Letting Agents
Use our same day service for rapid clear-outs between tenancies, removing abandoned items, or preparing furnished lets for new tenants. We work professionally and discreetly to agreed timescales.
Businesses
For offices, shops and small businesses, our urgent removals cover short-notice relocations, strip-outs before fit-out work, and clearing spaces for new occupants. We can move IT, furniture, files and stock with careful handling and clear labelling.
Students
We help students in Putney, Wandsworth and nearby areas with fast moves between halls, shared houses and storage, especially around the start and end of term when timings can change at the last moment.

Our Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Contact us as early as possible by phone or online. We will ask key questions about your property, access, number of items, and both addresses. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate for same day removals in Putney, including likely duration, team size and vehicle requirements.
2. Rapid Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most urgent moves we carry out a fast virtual survey via video call or photos. For larger or more complex jobs and if time allows, we may send a surveyor. The aim is to understand access issues, parking, volume of goods and any fragile or bulky items, so we arrive with the right team and equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
Depending on time and your needs, we can offer:
- Full packing service – we bring materials and pack everything for you
- Partial packing – we focus on fragile or awkward items only
- Self-packed – you pack, and we load and move
We use quality boxes, wrap and furniture covers, and our trained team will disassemble basic furniture where needed.
4. Loading & Transport
Our movers protect doors, floors and bannisters where possible, then load your belongings methodically to maximise space and minimise movement in transit. Everything is securely strapped and padded in our vehicles. We then travel directly to your new address or chosen storage facility, using efficient routes based on local traffic conditions in and around Putney.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload carefully and place items in the rooms you specify. We reassemble furniture we dismantled, position key pieces such as beds and sofas, and place boxes in appropriate areas to make your first night easier. Before leaving, we will do a final walk-through with you to ensure nothing has been missed.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day removals are generally charged based on:
- Size of the move (volume of items and number of rooms)
- Number of movers required
- Travel distance between addresses
- Access complexity (stairs, long walks, no lift, parking constraints)
- Any packing services or materials supplied
Because same day moves are urgent and require rapid allocation of vehicles and staff, rates can be higher than standard pre-booked moves. However, we always provide a clear price structure in advance, with no hidden extras. Where work is charged on an hourly basis, we will explain minimum booking periods and how time is rounded.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
When you are under same-day pressure, it can be tempting to grab the first cheap van available. But rushed, unplanned moves are where damage and disputes most often occur. With Putney Removals you get:
- Trained teams who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
- Proper equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps and protective covers
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Clear paperwork, agreed timings and reliable communication
- Local knowledge of Putney access and parking rules
This reduces the risk of injury, damage to property, and unexpected costs that can arise with casual services.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Our same day removals in Putney are backed by the same protections as our pre-planned moves. We carry appropriate goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicles, and public liability insurance for work in and around your property.
Our movers are trained in safe lifting, loading and packing techniques, and follow established company procedures. We maintain our vehicles regularly and provide suitable protective materials on every job. Full details of cover, including limits and exclusions, are available on request and outlined in our terms.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even when time is tight, we do not cut corners on care. Furniture is wrapped or covered, fragile items are packed or checked, and we plan loading to avoid crushing or movement. We treat your property with respect, taking reasonable steps to protect walls, floors and communal areas.
We also take a mindful approach to sustainability. Where possible we use reusable transit blankets and durable crates, source packaging materials responsibly, and consolidate journeys to reduce unnecessary mileage. If you have unwanted items in good condition, we can often suggest local charities or reuse options instead of disposal.
Real-World Uses for Same Day Removals in Putney
- Emergency house moves where a previous moving plan has collapsed on the day
- Last-minute flat moves for renters facing unexpected notice
- Office relocations that need to happen outside normal planning timelines
- Short-notice clearances for landlords between tenancies
- Student moves to or from halls, shared houses or storage at short notice
Whatever the reason, our role is to bring structure and calm to what can otherwise be a stressful day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Putney cost?
Costs depend on the size of your move, distance between properties, access, and whether you need packing support. Same day moves are usually priced slightly higher than standard pre-booked services because of the need to reorganise staff and vehicles at short notice. We can often give an estimate over the phone after a brief discussion, then refine it following a quick virtual survey. All charges, including any minimum booking times or travel charges, are explained clearly before you confirm your booking.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
Availability depends on how many teams and vehicles are already booked on the day. During busy periods, such as Fridays and month-ends, capacity can be limited. The earlier you contact us, the better the chance we can help. If we cannot complete a full move the same day, we will discuss alternatives, such as moving priority items first or arranging an early start the following morning. We will never promise a same day slot we are not confident of covering properly.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Our same day removals come with the same goods in transit insurance and public liability cover as our standard services. This insurance is designed to protect your items while they are in our care and on our vehicles, subject to policy terms and limits. We will explain what is covered, any exclusions (for example certain high-value items) and how claims work, should they ever be needed. You are welcome to ask for written details in advance so you can consider any additional personal cover.
What is included in your same day removals service?
As standard, our same day service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We provide basic protection for furniture and key items, and can place belongings in the rooms you choose. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, and additional drops to storage or secondary addresses. We will confirm exactly what is included in your quote so you know what to expect on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals company offers structured planning, trained staff, insurance, proper equipment and clear terms of service. A casual man-and-van may be fine for a small, low-risk job, but often lacks formal cover and consistent standards. With Putney Removals you know who is coming, when they will arrive, what they will do, and how your belongings are protected. For urgent, high-pressure situations like same day moves, this reliability and accountability can make a significant difference to outcomes and peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book a same day removal?
By definition, many of our same day bookings are made on the day itself. However, as soon as you suspect you may need an urgent move, contact us. Even a few extra hours can help us plan staff, vehicles and parking more effectively. Where possible, we recommend calling first thing in the morning to maximise availability. If your timing is flexible within the day, we can often fit you around existing bookings to provide a practical and cost-effective solution.
