At Kennington Removals, we provide reliable, fully managed same day removals in Kennington for homes and businesses that need to move quickly but still want everything handled properly. Whether your plans have changed at the last minute or another mover has let you down, we’re set up to respond fast, without cutting corners on care, safety or professionalism.
What Our Same Day Removals Service Covers
Our same day removals option is a full, professional removals service – just delivered on a tighter timescale. Depending on availability and the size of your move, we can help with:
- Emergency home moves across Kennington and surrounding areas
- Last‑minute flat and house clearances
- Urgent office and commercial relocations
- Student moves into or out of shared accommodation
- Short‑notice landlord and lettings moves (end of tenancy, re‑lets)
Where time allows, we can still provide packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and careful placement of items in your new property, so you can be functional as quickly as possible.
Local Expertise in Kennington
We work in and around Kennington every day, so we understand the realities of moving here: controlled parking zones, tight streets, busy rush hours and access restrictions. Our local knowledge allows us to:
- Plan practical vehicle access and loading points
- Advise on parking and permits where needed
- Choose efficient routes to minimise delays
- Handle moves in period properties and flats with narrow staircases
Because we’re genuinely local, we can usually respond quickly for urgent or same day moves within Kennington and nearby areas, subject to schedule and crew availability.
Who Our Same Day Removals Are For
Homeowners
If your completion date has been brought forward, another company has cancelled, or you simply need to move fast, we provide a calm, organised service so your move still feels controlled and safe, despite the short notice.
Renters
Tenancy end dates, landlord deadlines and deposit concerns can all create pressure. We help renters move out and into new properties on the same day where possible, keeping landlords satisfied and timelines realistic.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We assist with urgent clearances, end‑of‑tenancy removals and rapid turnarounds between occupants. Our team works respectfully in occupied buildings and shared areas, minimising disruption to neighbours and other tenants.
Businesses
For small offices, shops and studios in Kennington, we offer same day office removals where feasible. We handle IT equipment, stock and furniture carefully, helping you get trading again quickly.
Students
We regularly help students with last‑minute moves into halls and shared houses, particularly at the start and end of term. We can combine collections from storage, parents’ homes and existing accommodation where practical.

Our Step‑by‑Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Call us as soon as you know you need a same day removal in Kennington. We’ll take key details: addresses, access, number of rooms, main furniture items and your timeline. Where feasible, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote on the spot or shortly after.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most same‑day moves, we carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or video. For larger or more complex moves, we may send a surveyor if time allows. The aim is to assess volume, access, and any special handling requirements so we send the right team and vehicle.
3. Packing & Preparation
Depending on the time window and your needs, we can offer:
- Full or partial packing using quality boxes and packing materials
- Protection of furniture with blankets, covers and shrink‑wrap
- Dismantling of beds, tables and wardrobes where necessary
- Labelling of items by room to keep unloading organised
If there isn’t time for a full packing service, we’ll advise on what you can box quickly, while we focus on protection and handling of larger items.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained removals team will:
- Plan a safe loading sequence to protect fragile items
- Secure all belongings inside the vehicle to prevent movement
- Use proper lifting techniques and equipment to avoid damage
- Transport your goods in fully insured, well‑maintained vehicles
We keep you informed during the journey, particularly for multi‑stop or longer‑distance moves.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload efficiently and place items into the rooms you specify. Where we dismantled furniture, we reassemble it as agreed. We’ll position key items such as beds, sofas and desks so you can start using the space straight away, even if the move was arranged at very short notice.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
We price our same‑day removals fairly, based on:
- Volume of goods and size of vehicle required
- Number of movers needed and expected hours on site
- Travel distance between addresses
- Any additional services (packing, dismantling, storage)
- Urgency and time of day (evenings, weekends, bank holidays)
There are no hidden charges. Before we confirm your booking, we’ll explain exactly what is included, how long we expect the job to take, and any factors that might change the price if the scope is different on arrival.
Why Choose Professional Removers Over DIY or Man‑and‑Van?
When you’re under time pressure, it can be tempting to opt for a casual man‑and‑van or try to move yourself. In reality, this often leads to stress, damage and delays. With Kennington Removals you benefit from:
- Professional planning and coordination, even on the day
- Trained teams who move heavy and fragile items safely
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Proper equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps, covers and tools
- Clear communication and documented booking details
DIY moves and informal operators typically lack suitable insurance, proper packing materials and experience with complex access – all of which matter more when everything is being done quickly.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Kennington Removals is:
- Fully insured with comprehensive goods in transit insurance
- Covered by public liability insurance for work on your premises
- Staffed by trained removals professionals with ongoing skills development
We follow industry best practice for lifting, loading and securing items. You’ll receive confirmation of your booking in writing, along with our key terms and what is covered under our insurance, so there is complete clarity before moving day.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even when time is tight, we don’t compromise on care:
- Protective blankets, mattress covers and floor runners used as needed
- Careful handling of delicate items, glass and electronics
- Respect for communal areas and neighbours in flats and shared buildings
We also work to reduce the environmental impact of each move by:
- Reusing strong cartons where possible
- Recycling packing materials responsibly
- Planning efficient routes to reduce fuel use

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Kennington cost?
The cost of same day removals depends on the size of your move, access at each property, distance travelled and how urgently you need us. Smaller flat moves may be charged on an hourly rate, while larger house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Same‑day and out‑of‑hours work can carry a premium because we must reorganise schedules and crews, but we always explain this clearly in advance. Contact us with basic details and we’ll provide a transparent estimate before you decide.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
Same day availability depends on how many teams and vehicles we already have booked. During busy periods, especially weekends and month‑ends, short‑notice slots can be limited. However, because we work locally in and around Kennington, we can often respond quickly for smaller or medium‑sized moves. The sooner you call, the more options we’ll have to help. Even if we can’t complete everything the same day, we may be able to offer a part‑move, urgent clearance or next‑day solution.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your property. Our insurance is designed for professional removals, not just basic van cover. We’ll outline the key points of the policy, including any limits or exclusions, when you book. For particularly high‑value items, we may ask you to declare them so we can confirm cover is adequate or suggest additional protection if needed.
What’s included in your same day removals service?
As standard, our same day service includes a professional removals vehicle, a trained team, loading, safe transport and unloading to your new address. Where time allows, we can also provide packing materials, partial or full packing, and dismantling/reassembly of furniture. We’ll confirm exactly what is included in your quote before you agree to anything. Parking charges, congestion or toll fees are usually passed on at cost, and we’ll highlight these where we expect them to apply on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a man‑and‑van?
A man‑and‑van service typically offers basic transport only, often without proper insurance, packing materials or trained staff. As a professional removals company, we provide structured planning, experienced crews, high‑quality equipment and formal insurance cover. We’re used to dealing with access issues, fragile items and complex moves under time pressure. This is especially important for same‑day removals, where there’s less margin for error and you need the reassurance that your belongings are being handled correctly from start to finish.
How far in advance should I book a same day removal?
For a genuine same day move, contact us as early in the day as possible – ideally first thing in the morning. This gives us the best chance to allocate a suitable crew and vehicle, carry out a quick survey and plan the job properly. If you know you may need short‑notice help in the next few days, it’s worth calling to discuss options even before everything is confirmed. We can often pencil in provisional slots, then finalise details once your plans are fixed.
