Local Expertise in Westminster
Working daily in Westminster means we understand local streets, parking restrictions, red routes and building access requirements. We routinely coordinate with building managers, concierge teams and loading bays across:
- Westminster and St James's
- Victoria and Pimlico
- Marylebone and Mayfair
- Paddington and Bayswater
This local knowledge helps us plan realistic timings, choose appropriate vehicle sizes and minimise delays, which is crucial for same day removals where every minute counts.

Homeowners
If a completion date moves forward unexpectedly or your original mover lets you down, we can step in to provide a structured, fully supported move the same day, subject to availability.
Renters
Faced with a landlord deadline, end of tenancy or short-notice relocation? We help tenants move out efficiently, protect communal areas, and reduce the risk of disputes over damage.
Landlords & Property Managers
We assist with quick turnarounds between tenancies, including removal of abandoned furniture or contents, and moving items into storage or alternative properties.
Businesses
From small offices and consulting rooms to retail units, we carry out same day business removals designed to minimise downtime, protect equipment and maintain confidentiality.
Students
We support students in halls or shared houses who need a same day move due to course changes, accommodation issues or last-minute room availability.

Our Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Contact us by phone or online as early as possible in the day. We will confirm same day capacity, gather key details (addresses, access, inventory, timing) and provide a clear, no-obligation quote. For urgent work, decisions and bookings are normally confirmed immediately.
2. Rapid Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most same day moves, we carry out a fast virtual survey using video or photos. Where practical and nearby, we may visit onsite. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, crew size and protective materials, avoiding delays or multiple trips.
3. Packing & Preparation
Depending on your needs, we can offer:
- Full same day packing for smaller properties
- Partial packing for fragile or high-value items
- Supply of cartons, tape and packing materials on arrival
We protect furniture with blankets, covers and wrapping, and we use floor and door protection where needed to safeguard both your property and communal areas.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained moving teams load systematically, ensuring weight is evenly distributed and items are secured. We plan routes with Westminster traffic and restrictions in mind. All vehicles are covered by goods in transit insurance, and our crews follow safe lifting and handling practices.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property or destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify, reassemble basic furniture where agreed, and position larger pieces so you can settle in more quickly. We take away our packing materials and leave access areas tidy.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day work involves a degree of flexibility and extended scheduling, but we remain upfront about costs. Our pricing typically considers:
- Property size and volume of goods
- Access issues (stairs, lifts, distance from vehicle to door)
- Number of movers and vehicles required
- Travel distance and congestion considerations
- Any packing or specialist handling needed
You will receive a clear written or emailed quotation before we confirm the booking, with no hidden add-ons. We will also explain any potential extra charges (for example, extended waiting time due to key delays) so you can make an informed decision.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
On a same day move, mistakes are harder to recover from. Using a professional removals company like Westminster Movers offers key advantages:
- Professional, uniformed crews who move homes and offices daily
- Appropriate vehicles with securing points and protective equipment
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Structured planning, even when time is short
- Safer lifting techniques, reducing the risk of injury or damage
DIY or informal man-and-van options often lack proper insurance, training and accountability. When your timeline is tight and your belongings are important, those risks can be costly.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Westminster Movers operates to clear, accountable standards. For your peace of mind, we provide:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while being moved
- Public liability cover for damage to buildings or third-party property
- Trained moving teams familiar with professional packing and handling
- Written terms and conditions outlining responsibilities and limits
Our crews are briefed on each job, including any special requirements, access constraints or building rules, to ensure a professional and respectful service.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on urgent moves, we never compromise on care:
- Use of blankets, mattress covers and wrapping to protect furniture
- Door and floor protection in communal and private areas where required
- Safe stacking and securing of loads in the vehicle
We also aim to work sustainably by reusing robust packing materials where hygienic and appropriate, optimising vehicle loads to reduce unnecessary journeys, and recycling materials collected from moves where possible.
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Urgent House Moves
Completion dates can change at the last minute. We regularly assist Westminster homeowners who have had their original move fall through, organising packing, loading and transport on the same day to keep the chain moving.
Office Relocations at Short Notice
When leases end, dilapidation works are scheduled or commercial units are reconfigured, businesses may need to relocate quickly. We help plan a structured, phased same day office move to reduce disruption and protect equipment.
Emergency Tenant Moves
In situations such as property issues, relationship breakdowns or landlord requirements, tenants sometimes need to move unexpectedly. We provide a calm, organised service, with clear communication and respectful handling of belongings.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Westminster cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the move, access, distance and how much support you need with packing. Same day work can cost slightly more than a pre-booked move because we may need additional staff or vehicles at short notice. After a quick assessment by phone and, if needed, a virtual survey, we provide a clear quotation before you commit. There are no hidden extras, and any potential additional charges (such as waiting time for keys) are explained in advance.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate same day requests, but availability depends on existing bookings, crew capacity and vehicle schedules. Contacting us as early as possible in the day gives us the best chance of helping. If we cannot complete a full move, we may offer a partial solution, such as priority removal of essential items or overnight storage. We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable within your timeframe.
Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?
Yes. Your items are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles and under our direct care, subject to our terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to buildings or third-party property. We will explain the main points of cover, any exclusions and the process for reporting an issue, so you understand exactly how you are protected during the move.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our service typically includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained removals team, standard protective materials, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We can add packing, dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture by prior agreement. We do not handle hazardous items or illegal goods, and parking costs or permits may be chargeable where required. Before you confirm your booking, we provide a written breakdown of what is and is not included.
How is Westminster Movers different from a basic man-and-van service?
While some man-and-van operators are competent, many work without formal training, adequate insurance or clear terms. Westminster Movers provides professional crews, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover, appropriate vehicles and a structured process, even for same day work. We survey your move, plan access, protect your property and provide documented confirmation of your booking. This reduces the risk of last-minute cancellations, damage or disputes, which can be particularly stressful on urgent moves.
How far in advance should I book a same day removal?
By definition, many of our same day moves are booked on the day itself. However, if you suspect you may need urgent help, contacting us as soon as possible, even tentatively, greatly improves our ability to assist. Early contact allows us to pencil in resources, discuss options and prepare paperwork, so if the move is confirmed, we can start immediately. Where same day is not possible, we will always offer the earliest realistic alternative.
