Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If your completion date has been brought forward, another removals firm has cancelled, or you’ve had a change in circumstances, we can provide professional same day support for full or part household moves.

Renters

We often help tenants who need to move quickly due to notice periods, disputes or sudden changes. We can assist with flats, house shares, and furnished or unfurnished rentals, taking care to protect both your belongings and the property.

Landlords & Letting Agents

For urgent clearances, abandoned belongings or rapid changeovers between tenants, our team can carry out respectful but efficient removals, ensuring items are removed safely and disposed of or stored as agreed.

Businesses

We support small and medium businesses with same day office removals, emergency internal moves, or rapid relocations of key equipment and furniture to keep disruption as low as possible.

Students

Term dates, room changes or last-minute plan changes can all create urgent moves. Our same day service is ideal for students moving between halls, private rentals or back home, with flexible options for smaller loads.

What We Can and Cannot Move on the Same Day

Items Typically Included

Subject to access and vehicle capacity, we can usually move:

• Household furniture: beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
• Boxes, bags and personal belongings
• Domestic appliances (where disconnected): washing machines, fridges, cookers
• Office furniture, IT equipment and archive boxes
• Student belongings: suitcases, study desks, small bookcases, etc.

Items Generally Excluded or Restricted

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we normally cannot carry:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, chemicals, gas bottles, paint thinners)
• Live animals or pets
• Valuables such as cash, jewellery, important documents – these should be carried by you
• Industrial machinery or oversized commercial plant
• Items requiring specialist lifting equipment we cannot safely provide on the day

If you are unsure about a particular item, please ask when you call – we will give you a clear answer so you can plan accordingly.

Our Same Day Removals Process

Even when time is short, we follow a structured process to keep your move organised and stress under control.

1. Enquiry & Immediate Quote

Call us as early as possible. We will take key details: addresses, access, floors, lift availability, list of main items, and your timing. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and confirm whether same day capacity is available.

2. Rapid Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For many urgent moves we conduct a quick virtual survey via video call or photos. For larger or more complex jobs, if time allows, we can send a surveyor. The aim is to assess volume, access and any special requirements so we send the right team and vehicle.

3. Packing & Preparation

Where possible, we recommend you have smaller items packed in boxes or bags before we arrive. If you need help, our team can provide same day packing for key items, using quality materials and protective covers for furniture, mattresses and fragile pieces.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained moving teams use trolleys, moving straps and blankets to load your belongings carefully and securely. We plan the route to avoid unnecessary delays and keep you updated on timings, especially for multi-stop moves.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival at your new property, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We will position larger furniture where you want it and ensure nothing is left in communal areas or blocking access.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same day removals are priced fairly based on:

• Size of the move (volume and number of items)
• Number of movers required
• Distance between properties
• Access difficulty (stairs, long walks, parking restrictions)
• Any additional services (packing, dismantling/reassembly, disposal)

Because of the short notice, there may be a premium compared to a move booked well in advance. However, we always provide a clear, itemised quotation before you confirm, so you know what you are paying for and there are no hidden extras.

Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY

On an urgent move, many people consider hiring a van and doing it themselves. In practice, that often creates more stress, risk of injury and damage, and unexpected costs.

By choosing a professional removals company like Barnet Movers, you benefit from:

• Experienced, trained teams who move furniture safely and efficiently
• Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Better planning of access, parking and routes
• Reduced risk of personal injury or damage to property

A casual man-and-van may seem cheaper, but often lacks insurance, training and reliability. When you are under time pressure, those differences really matter.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. Barnet Movers operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our vehicles
• Public liability insurance – covering accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in safe lifting, packing and handling techniques

We handle your belongings as if they were our own, using clean, well-maintained vehicles and appropriate protective materials. Where particular items need extra care – such as glass, antiques or electronics – we will discuss the best approach with you.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even on a same day move, we do not cut corners on care and protection. We use mattress covers, sofa covers, floor protectors and transit blankets to minimise the risk of marks and damage.

We also aim to work sustainably by:

• Reusing and recycling packing materials where suitable
• Planning efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Encouraging customers to donate usable items instead of sending everything to landfill

Our goal is a move that is efficient, careful and as environmentally responsible as practicable.

Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases

Moving House at Short Notice

We regularly help families and individuals whose completion date has changed suddenly or whose original movers have let them down. We organise the team quickly, prioritise essential items, and work methodically to get you into your new home the same day.

Urgent Office Relocation

For businesses facing an unplanned move due to lease issues, building works or other disruptions, we can relocate key furniture, IT equipment and documents swiftly, allowing you to get back to work with minimal downtime.

Emergency Tenant Moves and Clearances

Landlords and tenants sometimes need to act fast when tenancies end unexpectedly. We can remove belongings, place them into storage or transport them to a new address, following any legal and contractual requirements agreed with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do same day removals in Barnet cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your move, the distance between addresses, access conditions and how many movers are required. As a guide, a small same day flat move may be charged by the hour, while larger properties are usually priced on a fixed quote. Because we are reallocating vehicles and staff at short notice, there may be a premium compared with advance bookings. We will always provide a clear, upfront estimate before you commit, so you can decide whether it fits your budget.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate genuine emergencies, but availability depends on our existing bookings and the scale of your move. Smaller jobs and part-loads are usually easier to fit in at short notice than full four-bedroom houses. The earlier in the day you contact us, the more options we typically have. If we cannot complete everything the same day, we will explain what is realistically achievable and may suggest phased moves or next-day options to keep disruption to a minimum.

Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?

Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and our public liability insurance covers accidental damage to third-party property. As with any policy, there are limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain in plain language before the move. We recommend that particularly high-value or irreplaceable items are discussed with us in advance, and you may wish to keep critical documents or jewellery with you personally.

What exactly is included in your same day removals service?

Our standard service includes a vehicle (or vehicles) suitable for your load, a trained removals team, protective blankets and basic equipment, loading at your current address, safe transport, and unloading and placement at your new property. On request, we can add services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and the removal of unwanted items. We will confirm what is included in writing with your quote, so you know precisely what to expect on the day.

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

While some man-and-van operators are very capable, many work without formal training, written contracts or insurance. As a dedicated removals company, we provide trained staff, proper insurance cover, well-maintained vehicles and a structured process. We plan access, bring the right equipment and take responsibility for protecting both your belongings and the properties involved. This is especially important on same day moves, where there is little margin for error and you need reliability rather than guesswork.

How far in advance should I book if I suspect I’ll need a same day move?

If you think a same day or very short-notice move might be required, contact us as soon as possible, even if details are not yet confirmed. We can discuss likely options, note your situation and advise on how best to prepare. The more notice we have, the easier it is to allocate the right resources and keep costs down. However, even if your situation arises unexpectedly on the day, it is still worth calling – we will always be honest about what we can realistically do to help.
