Same day Removals

Same day Removals Soho – Fast, Professional Help When You Need It

When a move can’t wait, Soho Movers provides reliable, fully managed same day removals in Soho and the surrounding central London areas. As local removals specialists, we handle urgent moves calmly and professionally, protecting your belongings while working to tight deadlines.

What Our Same Day Removals Service Includes

Same day does not mean rushed or careless. Our teams are trained, professional and fully insured, following the same standards as our planned moves, simply on a faster timeline.

Typical same day removals we handle

• Emergency flat and house moves within or from Soho
• Last-minute office and studio relocations
• Student moves in and around central London
• Landlord and estate agent clear-outs between tenancies
• Short-notice storage runs to and from secure storage facilities

We can often attend within hours, subject to availability and access. If we can’t complete the whole move the same day, we will offer the quickest realistic alternative and explain it clearly.

Local Expertise in Soho and Central London

Working daily in Soho means we understand the realities of moving in narrow streets, red routes and restricted access zones. We plan around:

• Loading restrictions and parking suspensions where time allows
• Stair-only buildings and small lifts common in Soho blocks
• Busy pedestrian areas and building management rules

Our local knowledge helps us choose the right vehicle size, plan routes to avoid delays, and minimise disruption to neighbours and businesses.

Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If your completion date changes at the last minute or you need to vacate unexpectedly, we can provide a structured same day move, including packing support where time allows and safe onward transport to your new home or to storage.

Renters

Short notice from a landlord, a change in tenancy dates or an urgent relocation for work can all require rapid action. We help renters in Soho move quickly without losing control of their belongings, protecting deposits by minimising damage to walls, doors and communal areas.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We work with landlords and agents who need properties cleared or part-cleared the same day between tenancies or following abandonment. We distinguish between reusable furniture, items for storage and waste to be disposed of through appropriate channels.

Businesses

From small studios to retail spaces and offices, we handle urgent business moves, equipment relocations and internal reshuffles. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock and display items, coordinating around trading hours to reduce downtime.

Students

Student accommodation changes can be sudden. We offer cost-conscious same day moves for students in and around Soho, including shared flats and halls, with options to move directly into new accommodation or to storage.

What We Can and Can’t Move on the Same Day

Items typically included

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines (where disconnected)
• Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and kitchenware
• Office furniture, filing, stock and boxed archives
• Consumer electronics – TVs, PCs, monitors, sound systems
• Disassembled flat-pack furniture (or dismantling on request, time permitting)

Items excluded or restricted

• Hazardous materials – gas cylinders, fuel cans, chemicals, paint thinners
• Illegal or stolen items
• Live animals and perishable food (beyond short journeys)
• Heavy industrial machinery or items exceeding safe manual handling limits
• Specialist safes or complex pianos without prior assessment

If in doubt, tell us exactly what you need moved during your enquiry. For unusual or very heavy items we may still be able to help, but we need to allocate the right team, equipment and vehicle.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quick Quote

Call us or enquire online as early as possible. We will ask key questions about property type, access, floor level, lift availability, parking and inventory. For straightforward moves, we can give a fast, no-obligation estimate over the phone.

2. Rapid Survey – Virtual or Onsite

Where required, we carry out a short video survey using your smartphone or, if timing allows, a brief onsite visit in Soho. This lets us assess volume, any challenging items and access issues. The survey helps us give a realistic fixed or capped quote and avoid surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

For same day moves there are two approaches:

• Owner-packed: You pack your own boxes; we focus on safe loading and transport.
• Partial or full packing: Time permitting, our team can provide professional packing, wrapping fragile items and protecting furniture with covers and blankets.

We supply boxes and packing materials where needed, subject to availability.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained uniformed team loads the vehicle methodically, using trolleys, straps and padding to protect your belongings and the building. We plan the route to avoid unnecessary delays and keep you updated on arrival times. All goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to terms and declared values.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble basic furniture that we have dismantled as part of the move, time and scope allowing. Before leaving, we invite you to walk through the property with us to ensure everything is where it should be.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same day moves are priced clearly so you know what to expect. We typically offer:

• Hourly rates for smaller, local Soho moves with a set minimum booking
• Fixed-price quotes for clearly defined jobs with a known inventory
• Additional charges only for agreed extras, such as packing materials, long carries or difficult access

We explain all costs in writing before you confirm. There are no hidden “emergency” extras beyond what we discuss. The sooner you contact us, the easier it is to keep costs under control by planning vehicle sizes, parking and crew numbers effectively.

Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?

In urgent situations, it can be tempting to throw everything into a car or hire the first van available. This often leads to damage, delays and stress. Choosing a professional removals company like Soho Movers means:

• Trained staff who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
• Fully insured cover for your belongings in transit
• Proper equipment – blankets, straps, dollies, tools and protective materials
• Efficient loading that makes the most of each trip, saving time and money
• Reliable arrival and clear communication, even at short notice

Informal man-and-van services may not offer adequate insurance, may use untrained labour and may lack the accountability you need when everything has to happen in a single day.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We treat urgent moves with the same duty of care as planned relocations. Soho Movers provides:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while they are in our vehicles
• Public liability insurance to protect against accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained moving teams familiar with safe handling, lifting techniques and property protection

Policy details and limits are available on request, and we are happy to discuss any high-value or particularly delicate items in advance so we can agree the right approach.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even when time is tight, we focus on protecting both your belongings and the environment. Our approach includes:

• Using reusable padded covers, blankets and floor protection whenever possible
• Minimising single-use plastics and offering reusable crates for business moves when pre-arranged
• Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage and congestion
• Where practical, separating reusable furniture and items for donation or recycling

The goal is to deliver a fast service without cutting corners on care or responsibility.

Real-World Same Day Removals Scenarios

Emergency Home Move in Soho

A tenant needed to vacate a Soho flat the same day due to a last-minute tenancy change. We provided a three-person team and a suitably sized van, completing packing support, loading, and delivery to a new address across London by evening, with all items safely placed and basic furniture reassembled.

Urgent Office Relocation

A small creative agency had to move out of shared premises at short notice. We moved desks, chairs, IT equipment and filing from Soho to a nearby workspace, coordinating with building management to use lifts and loading bays within a narrow time window.

Student Move to Storage

A student leaving halls unexpectedly needed belongings placed into storage the same day. We supplied boxes, helped with packing, and transported everything to a nearby storage facility, ensuring boxes were labelled clearly for an easier future move.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a same day removal in Soho cost?

Costs depend on the size of the move, access, distance and how much help you need with packing. Smaller local moves in Soho may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger jobs are often quoted at a fixed price once we understand the inventory and access. Same day work can be slightly more expensive than planned moves because of scheduling pressures, but we will always explain the pricing clearly in advance so you can make an informed decision.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

Availability depends on our schedule, vehicle capacity and crew levels on the day. We regularly handle urgent moves in Soho, but we cannot guarantee same day slots at all times. The earlier you contact us, the better the chance we can help. If we cannot complete everything the same day, we will be honest about what is realistic and may suggest a phased approach, such as removing essentials immediately and returning for remaining items as soon as possible.

Are my belongings insured during a same day move?

Yes. Your possessions are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. Insurance for same day moves is the same level as for planned removals; we do not reduce cover because the booking is urgent. We recommend you tell us about any high-value or especially delicate items in advance so we can note them and advise on any additional precautions if required.

What is included in your same day removals service?

Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional removals team, protective equipment (blankets, straps, covers), loading, secure transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. Subject to time, we can also help with basic dismantling and reassembly of furniture and limited packing of fragile or awkward items. Packing materials, full packing services, disposal of unwanted items and extended disassembly are available by agreement and may be charged separately. We will confirm exactly what is and is not included in your written quote before you decide to go ahead.

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

A professional removals service provides trained staff, fully insured vehicles and a structured process designed to protect your belongings and property. We use proper equipment, plan access and routes, and offer written quotes and documentation. Casual man-and-van operators may be cheaper upfront but often lack adequate insurance, experience with larger or fragile items, and accountability if things go wrong. For same day moves, where everything happens quickly, having a professional team who can work efficiently and safely makes a real difference to the outcome.

How far in advance should I book a same day removal?

For true same day moves, contact us as soon as you know you need to move, even if you do not yet have every detail. Early contact allows us to reserve a crew, advise on packing and parking, and carry out a quick survey. If your move is simply urgent but not necessarily same day, 24–48 hours’ notice gives us more flexibility and can keep costs down. However, we are used to dealing with last-minute situations in Soho and will always try to find the most practical solution based on when you get in touch.
