Same-Day Move across London, done properly
Plans change. Keys appear early, a seller pushes completion, or a marketplace sofa won’t wait until next week. Our same-day move option adds urgent capacity when you need a van and crew today — not next Tuesday.
Subject to availability, we’ll match you with the nearest suitable crew, confirm a fixed price and get moving. You still get the same care, insurance and loading help as a planned booking — just on a tighter clock.
Message or call early in the day for the best chance of a slot. We’ll be honest if we’re fully booked and suggest the soonest alternative.
What's included as standard
We believe the price you're quoted should be the price you pay. That's why every same-day move booking comes with the essentials built in — no surprise charges bolted on when the crew arrives.
- Priority matching to an available crew
- Same care and insurance as a standard booking
- Loading and unloading help included
- Clear price confirmed before we dispatch
- WhatsApp and phone updates on the day
- Available across London boroughs subject to capacity

How it works, step by step
We’ve refined our process across London moves every week to keep everything simple and predictable. Here’s exactly what happens from your first enquiry through to completion.
- 1
Get your free quote
Tell us what you need moving, your pickup and delivery addresses and your preferred date. Start your quote in under a minute — we usually reply with a clear fixed price within about one working hour. No site visit required for most jobs; a free home survey is available for larger moves.
- 2
Confirm your booking
Pick a date and time that suits you. A small deposit is only asked when you confirm the booking — it comes off your final balance. We’ll send a confirmation with everything you need to prepare, plus a friendly reminder as the day approaches.

We prepare and protect
On the day, our uniformed crew arrives on time with blankets, straps and trolleys. We protect floors, doorways and furniture before anything is lifted, so your home and your belongings stay in perfect condition.

Careful transport
Your items are loaded, secured and driven safely to the destination by an experienced London driver who knows the boroughs, the permit zones and the quickest routes at any time of day.
- 5
Unload and settle in
We place everything exactly where you want it, reassemble anything we took apart and only leave once you’re completely happy. Payment is taken on completion — simple and stress-free.
How much does it cost?
Every job is quoted clearly before we arrive. Your price is built from van size, crew, access and distance, with the first 10 journey miles included. See our pricing page for the full rate card.
Hourly man-and-van services start from £50/hour with a two-hour minimum. After the minimum, extra time is billed in 30-minute blocks. Full house removals receive a fixed quotation based on inventory, access and distance.
| Man & van rate guide | Hourly |
|---|---|
| Small Van + Driver | From £50/hour |
| Transit Van + Driver | From £55/hour |
| Luton Van + Driver | From £65/hour |
| Additional helper | +£20/hour |
| Two-hour minimum | From £100 before extras |
| Additional mileage | £1.50/mile (first 10 free) |
Quotes are free — no deposit or card details just to enquire. A small deposit only applies when you confirm a booking.
WhatsApp or call with your addresses — most replies within about one working hour. Larger jobs can book a free home survey.
What affects the price
A few practical factors move the final number up or down. Knowing them in advance helps you plan and, in many cases, keep costs lower:
- The volume of items and the size of van required
- How many crew members or helpers you need
- Access at both addresses — stairs, lifts and carry distance
- Total mileage beyond the first 10 included miles
- Timing — evenings, weekends, bank holidays and same-day bookings
- Optional extras such as packing, dismantling or storage

What customers say
The crew wrapped every piece of furniture and had us moved across town before lunch. Fixed price with no surprises — the most stress-free move we've ever had.
Alena CartyCamden, LondonPolite, quick and genuinely careful with every single box. They got a huge sofa up a narrow staircase without a scratch. Couldn't recommend them more.

It depends on crew capacity. Mid-week mornings are usually easier than late Friday afternoons. Contact us as early as you can and we’ll confirm within minutes.
Same-day bookings typically add from £20 depending on timing and demand. You’ll see the full fixed price before you confirm.
We’ll offer the earliest next slot — often first thing the following morning — so you’re not left guessing.
