Same day Removals
Same Day Removals Bermondsey
When you need to move today, Bermondsey Movers is your local, fast-response removals team. Our same day removals service in Bermondsey is designed for urgent, last-minute and time-critical moves, carried out by a professional, local crew who move people and businesses in SE16 every day.
Same Day Removals: How Our Service Works
Same day doesn’t mean rushed. It means we compress our normal, carefully planned removals process into a tighter timeframe, without compromising on care or safety. Wherever possible we’ll get a vehicle and team to you within a few hours, subject to availability and access.
We handle:
- Same day home removals within Bermondsey and across London
- Urgent flat and house clear moves for renters and landlords
- Emergency office relocations and equipment moves
- Student moves to and from halls or shared houses
- Part-load & single-item same day removals (subject to schedule)
Our teams arrive in clean, fully equipped vehicles with blankets, trolleys and basic tools, ready to move your belongings safely and efficiently.
Local Bermondsey Expertise
Based in the area, we know Bermondsey’s streets, estates and developments extremely well – from riverside apartments along Jamaica Road to period terraces near Bermondsey Street and large estates off Southwark Park Road. That local knowledge matters when you’re on a deadline.
We’re used to:
- Tight access, loading restrictions and controlled parking zones
- Lift bookings and concierge requirements in modern developments
- Co-ordinating moves around school runs, market days and rush hour
This allows us to plan the quickest realistic route and loading approach for a same day move in Bermondsey and the surrounding SE postcodes.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Chain issues, last-minute completion dates or a sudden change of plan can leave you needing to move at very short notice. We provide same day removals for houses and flats, carefully protecting floors, bannisters and doors while working to your timings.
Renters
If you’ve been given unexpected notice, need to vacate a property today, or your original mover has not turned up, we can often step in. We regularly help tenants in Bermondsey with urgent flat moves, including short-distance moves to storage or into new rentals.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We support landlords and agents who need a property cleared quickly for new tenants, or require belongings moved into storage at short notice. We can combine same day removals with basic item listing to keep things organised.
Businesses
From small offices around Bermondsey Street to retail units and studios, we handle urgent business relocations, removal of office furniture, and movement of stock or equipment. We plan to minimise downtime and can often work outside core business hours.
Students
Students at King’s, UCL, LSE and other London universities often face fixed move-out dates from halls or shared houses. Our student same day removals are ideal when plans change or transport falls through at the last minute.
What We Can Move on a Same Day Job
Included Items
We can safely move most household and office items, including:
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
- White goods such as fridges, freezers and washing machines
- Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and kitchenware
- TVs, computers, monitors and standard office equipment
- Archive boxes, stock and light workshop items
- Disassembled flat-pack furniture
Excluded or Restricted Items
For safety, insurance and legal reasons, we cannot move:

If you’re unsure about a particular item, mention it when you enquire and we’ll advise on what’s possible within our fully insured service.
Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Call us as early as you can. We’ll ask a few key questions about addresses, access, volume of items and timing. Where possible, we’ll give a clear, fixed-price estimate for the same day removal. If circumstances are complex, we may suggest an hourly rate with a realistic time window.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For many same day moves we carry out a quick virtual survey by video call or photos. This lets us judge parking, stairs, lifts, and the size of vehicle and team needed. For larger homes or offices, if time allows, a short onsite visit in Bermondsey may be arranged.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you’re already packed, we’ll focus on protecting furniture and key items. Where needed and feasible in the time available, we offer same day packing of loose items into boxes, and can provide packing materials. We disassemble straightforward items such as bed frames or table legs if required.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your belongings systematically, using transit blankets, straps and floor protection where required. We plan the run to avoid major congestion points and ensure that your goods are secure at all times in our vehicles, covered by our goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing larger items where you want them. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled and carry out a quick final check with you before leaving. Our aim is to leave you as settled as realistically possible after a same day move.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day work is more logistically demanding, but our pricing remains clear and fair. Costs are based on:
- Volume of goods and size of vehicle required
- Number of movers needed
- Travel distance and any congestion/ULEZ charges
- Access issues (stairs, long carries, lack of lift)
- Any packing or dismantling services requested
We’ll always explain whether your quote is fixed-price or hourly, what’s included, and any potential extra charges (such as waiting time caused by key collection delays). There are no hidden fees – everything is agreed in advance wherever possible.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
Moving in a hurry is stressful. Trying to organise a van, friends, parking, and safe lifting at short notice often leads to damage, delays and arguments. A casual man-and-van may be cheaper on paper, but you often have limited protection if anything goes wrong.
With Bermondsey Movers you get:
- Professional, uniformed movers turning up when promised
- Planned vehicle size and correct equipment for the job
- Proper lifting techniques to reduce the risk of injury
- Fully insured transport and public liability cover
- A clear point of contact and agreed scope of work
This is especially important when time is tight and there’s little margin for error.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are protected under our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and our public liability cover protects you and your property during the move. We’re happy to outline limits and conditions so you know exactly where you stand.
Our teams are trained in safe lifting, loading patterns, and handling of fragile items. We follow industry best practice for wrapping, stacking and securing loads, even when working to a same day deadline.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on urgent jobs, we don’t cut corners on protection. We use transit blankets, mattress covers (where requested), floor runners and corner protectors on vulnerable items. We aim to minimise waste by reusing durable packing materials and recycling cardboard where possible.
We also plan routes with efficiency in mind to reduce unnecessary mileage, and we maintain our vehicles regularly to keep them safe and efficient for Bermondsey’s busy streets.
Real-World Same Day Use Cases in Bermondsey
- Last-minute house move: A chain completion is suddenly brought forward and the original mover can’t accommodate the date. We step in to move a two-bedroom flat from Bermondsey to another part of London on the same day.
- Urgent office relocation: A small creative agency near Bermondsey Street needs to vacate a serviced office overnight. We move desks, chairs, IT equipment and archives into a new workspace before the next working day.
- Emergency tenant move: A renter must leave their property at short notice. We collect, pack essentials and transport belongings to a storage facility and a friend’s flat the same day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a same day removal in Bermondsey cost?
Costs vary depending on how much you’re moving, access at each property and the distance involved. Smaller same day moves within Bermondsey may be charged on an hourly basis, with a minimum booking period. Larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price once we understand your requirements. We’ll always explain what’s included – such as loading, travel time, congestion charges and basic protection – so you have a clear total before you commit.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
Availability depends on our schedule and the size of your move, but we do keep capacity for urgent jobs where possible. Calling early in the day gives us the best chance of allocating a suitable vehicle and team. For larger properties, we may suggest splitting work over same day and next day if that gives a safer and more practical outcome. We’ll always be honest about what is realistically achievable within the time available.
Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while in our vehicles, subject to standard terms and conditions, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your property. Insurance isn’t a substitute for careful handling, so we still wrap and protect items properly and load them securely. We can explain policy limits, excesses and any exclusions when you book, so you know exactly what is and isn’t covered on your same day move.
What’s included in your same day removals service?
Our core service includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained removals team, loading and unloading, basic protection materials and transport between properties. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify and can dismantle simple items such as bed frames if agreed in advance. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, and disconnection of appliances by arrangement. We’ll set out clearly in writing what is included in your quote so there are no surprises on the day.
How is a professional same day removal different from a man-and-van?
A man-and-van service often provides basic transport only, with limited equipment and little or no insurance. With Bermondsey Movers you get a professional team, purpose-built removals vehicles, proper securing equipment and fully insured cover for your belongings while in transit. We plan access, parking and loading, protect your property, and can allocate extra staff if needed. This becomes especially important on urgent moves, where experience and planning dramatically reduce the risk of damage and delays.
How far in advance should I book if I suspect I may need a same day move?
If you think a same day move might be needed, contact us as soon as possible, even if your plans aren’t confirmed. We can pencil in provisional slots or discuss likely scenarios, so we’re ready to respond quickly if you get the go-ahead. For very short notice moves – same day or next day – early communication gives us the best chance to allocate the right team, vehicle and equipment for a smooth, safe relocation.
