What Our Same Day Removals Service Includes

- Rapid response to your enquiry and immediate availability check
- Fast quotation based on your inventory and access details

Where time allows, we can also provide same day packing for smaller properties or partial loads. For larger homes and offices, we can focus on the most urgent rooms and priority items first.
Local Finchley Expertise
Working in Finchley day in, day out means we understand the realities of moving here on short notice:

Who Our Same Day Removals in Finchley Are For
Homeowners
Ideal if your completion date has changed at the last minute, your original removals company has let you down, or you need to vacate your property faster than expected. We can move full houses or focus on the key contents you must have with you immediately.
Renters
Perfect for tenants facing short-notice end of tenancy, unexpected landlord requests, or urgent relocations for work or personal reasons. We regularly assist with same day moves between flats in Finchley and nearby areas.
Landlords
Useful when you need a property cleared quickly after tenancy changes, abandonment, or emergency situations. We can remove furniture and belongings in line with your instructions, while respecting legal and ethical considerations.
Businesses
Suitable for small offices, shops, and studios needing a fast relocation, emergency decant, or equipment move. We understand downtime costs money, so we work to minimise disruption and keep your business running.
Students
Helpful for students moving in or out of accommodation at short notice, particularly around term dates and exam periods. We can move single rooms, shared flats, or just a few bulky items you cannot manage alone.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online, explaining your situation, current location, destination, and what needs moving. We ask focused questions about property size, access, floors, parking, and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear quotation and confirm whether a same day slot is available.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For many same day moves, a quick virtual survey via video call or photographs is the fastest option. For larger or more complex moves, we may send a surveyor if time allows. The goal is to properly assess volume, access, and any challenges so we send the right team and vehicle first time.
3. Packing & Preparation
Where packing is required and feasible on the day, we bring materials such as cartons, tape, and wrap. We prioritise fragile and high-value items, ensuring they are safely protected. You may already have some items boxed; we will advise what to prioritise to keep the move efficient and safe.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional team carefully carries, loads, and securely positions your belongings in the vehicle, using blankets, straps, and covers. We protect doors, banisters, and floors where needed and work methodically to prevent damage. Then we transport your items directly to your new address, following the most efficient route.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify, subject to time and access constraints. Large furniture is positioned where practical, and boxes are stacked safely for you to unpack. Before we leave, we carry out a final check with you to ensure nothing has been left on the vehicle.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals in Finchley
Same day work is more intensive to schedule, but that does not mean unclear pricing. Our charges are explained upfront and typically factor in:
- Size of property or volume of items
- Number of movers required
- Vehicle size and number of trips
- Travel time between addresses
- Complexity – stairs, long walks, limited access
- Additional services – packing, materials, dismantling/reassembly
You will receive a clear quotation before we commit to the job. We do not charge hidden extras on the day; any possible additional costs (for example, extended waiting time outside our control) are explained in advance.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
On the surface, hiring a cheap van or asking friends for help might seem easier. In practice, urgent moves often expose the limitations of DIY:
- No goods in transit insurance if belongings are damaged
- Lack of proper equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys
- Insufficient manpower for heavy or awkward items
- Poor planning leading to multiple trips and delays
- Greater risk of injury or damage to property
With Finchley Movers, you benefit from a professional team used to working under time pressure, structured processes, and robust cover if something goes wrong. A same day move is demanding; having experienced movers on your side makes a genuine difference.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. All same day removals in Finchley are carried out under appropriate cover and standards:
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our care
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling furniture, appliances, and fragile items
- Use of suitable vehicles, regularly maintained and equipped for removals
- Adherence to agreed timings and clear communication throughout the move
We are always happy to explain our cover levels and terms so you can make an informed decision.
Care, Protection, and Sustainability
Even when working quickly, we do not compromise on care:
- Use of blankets, padding, and floor protection where required
- Safe lifting techniques to protect staff and your belongings
- Secure loading to prevent movement and damage in transit
We also aim to operate responsibly:
- Reusable protective materials where possible
- Recycling of used cartons and materials on request
- Efficient route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage
Our goal is to move you quickly, with care, and with a sensible approach to the environment.
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Moving House at Short Notice
Completion dates change, chains collapse, and sometimes you are told you can have the keys today – or must hand them back. We regularly help Finchley homeowners and renters move the same day when plans shift unexpectedly, focusing on getting the essentials safely moved first.
Emergency Office Relocation
From water leaks to sudden lease issues, businesses occasionally need to relocate with little warning. We can move key furniture, IT equipment, and files to temporary or permanent premises, helping you stay operational with minimal downtime.
Urgent Partial Moves
Not every same day move is a full property. Sometimes you just need bulky or essential items moved – such as beds, white goods, or office equipment – while the rest can follow later. We tailor the job to what matters most to you on the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a same day removal in Finchley cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of the move, access, distance between properties, and how many movers and vehicles are needed. Same day work can be slightly higher than pre-booked moves because we must reorganise schedules and allocate resources at short notice. Once we understand what needs moving and your timings, we will give you a clear, no-obligation quote. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges, such as extended waiting time, are explained in advance so you can decide with full transparency.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to help, but availability depends on our existing bookings, team capacity, and the size of the move. Smaller flats and partial loads are usually easier to accommodate than large houses or multi-floor offices on the same day. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better chance we have of finding a suitable slot. Even if we cannot complete everything the same day, we may be able to move the most urgent items immediately and schedule the remainder for the next available time.
What insurance cover do you provide?
All moves, including same day removals, are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being moved and transported by us. We also carry public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move. Specific limits and terms apply, and we are happy to share full details on request. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional specialist cover or a pre-move assessment to ensure you are fully protected.
What exactly is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard same day service includes a removals vehicle, a trained team of movers, loading, transport, and unloading at your new address. We use blankets and straps to protect and secure your belongings. Where time allows, we can add services such as packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and provision of packing materials. The exact scope will depend on how much notice we have and the size of the move, but we will always agree what is and is not included before confirming your booking.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a casual man-and-van can be suitable for very small or simple moves, our service is designed for reliability and protection. We provide professional crews, fully insured operations, purpose-equipped vehicles, and structured processes. Our teams are trained in safe lifting, packing, and loading techniques, which reduces the risk of damage or injury. We also offer clear contracts and documentation, so you know exactly what to expect. For most urgent or full-property moves, this level of professionalism offers much greater peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book if I know I may need a same day move?
If you suspect you may need a same day removal, contact us as soon as possible, even if your plans are not yet confirmed. We can discuss provisional options, note your details, and advise on the likelihood of accommodating your preferred day. The more notice we have, the easier it is to allocate the right team and vehicle. However, we are also prepared for genuine last-minute situations and will always explore what is realistically achievable on the day you call.
