- Last-minute home removals within Acton and nearby areas

Every same day booking includes a dedicated removals team, an appropriately sized vehicle, basic protection for your furniture, and careful placement in your new property.
Local Expertise in Acton
Operating daily across Acton, we understand the area’s roads, parking restrictions and building types. From period conversions on the High Street to modern blocks near the station, we are used to tight stairwells, limited lift access and controlled parking zones.
Our local knowledge allows us to plan realistic timings, arrange parking where possible, and choose the right vehicle for your street, helping your same day move to run smoothly despite the time pressure.
Who Our Same Day Removals Are For
Homeowners
Whether a completion date has moved forward unexpectedly or another removals firm has let you down, we can often step in on the day to handle full or part-house moves. We’ll prioritise key rooms first – beds, essential furniture and appliances – so you can be settled as quickly as possible.
Renters
Tenancy ending sooner than expected, or issues with your current property? We regularly help tenants in Acton move to new rentals at short notice, keeping to check-out times and inventory appointments where needed.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We work with landlords and agents who require same day clearances, whether following the end of a tenancy, preparing for new occupants, or resolving urgent access issues. We can clear, transport and, where agreed, take items to storage or recycling centres.
Businesses
For businesses in Acton, we manage urgent office removals, temporary relocations and internal moves. We are used to working around staff, maintaining safe access and handling IT equipment, desks, filing and stock with care and discretion.
Students
Students often face tight timescales around term dates and accommodation changes. Our team offers affordable, efficient student same day moves, from halls and shared houses into new accommodation or storage facilities.
What We Can and Cannot Move on the Same Day
Items Typically Included
On a same day removal in Acton, we can usually move:
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines (if disconnected)
- Boxes, bags and loose items
- Office furniture, filing cabinets and boxed documents
- IT equipment, screens and small electronics (suitably packed)
- Garage and shed contents that are safe, clean and boxed
Items Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot move certain items, particularly at short notice:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or waste
- Unsecured large safes or commercial machinery
- Animals and live plants in bulk (case-by-case)
- Very high-value items (fine art, jewellery, collectibles) without prior arrangement
If you are unsure whether something can be moved on a same day basis, please mention it when you contact us so we can advise properly.
Our Same Day Removals Process
Even with limited time, we follow a structured process to keep your Acton move safe and organised.
1. Enquiry & Immediate Quote
Call or message us as early as possible. We will ask key questions about your current and new addresses, access, number of rooms and main items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation price estimate and confirm whether same day slots are available.
2. Rapid Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For many same day moves, we carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or video to understand volume and access. Where feasible and close by, we may conduct a short onsite survey. This allows us to allocate the right team size, vehicle and equipment to avoid delays later.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you are already packed, we will focus on protecting your furniture and fragile items. For urgent moves where packing has not been completed, we can provide partial packing services on the day, bringing boxes and materials to get essential items safely packed.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained movers carefully load your belongings, using blankets, straps and trolley equipment to keep everything secure. We work efficiently but never rush handling. Once loaded, we travel directly to your new address, keeping you updated on arrival time.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you need it. We can reassemble basic furniture that we dismantled for transport, and we make sure walkways remain clear so you can start using the space immediately.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day removals in Acton are priced clearly and fairly, taking into account:
- Property size and volume of belongings
- Number of movers required
- Travel distance between addresses
- Access issues (stairs, long carries, parking restrictions)
- Any packing services or materials supplied on the day
Because same day work involves rapid scheduling, pricing may differ slightly from moves booked in advance, but we always provide a clear figure before starting. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (for example, waiting time due to key delays) are explained upfront.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
Moving at very short notice can be stressful. Attempting a DIY move or using an unregulated casual van service often leads to damage, delays and disputes. With Acton Movers you benefit from:
- Professional teams used to working under time pressure
- Proper lifting techniques to protect you and your property
- Appropriate vehicles, trolleys and protective materials
- Clear documentation and agreed pricing
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
This level of protection and organisation is rarely available with informal man-and-van services, especially on the same day.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously, particularly when you are trusting us to move your belongings at short notice.
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are in our vehicle, subject to terms and declared values.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage during the move.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are employed or regular crew members, trained in safe handling, loading and customer care.
Policy details are available on request; we are happy to confirm cover in writing for business and landlord clients who require documentation.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on a same day move, we do not cut corners on protection. We use removal blankets, mattress protectors and securing straps as standard to minimise the risk of damage. Floors and bannisters are protected where practical, especially in shared or communal areas.
We also aim to work sustainably. Wherever possible we reuse durable packing materials, recycle cardboard, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. For customers looking to declutter quickly, we can separate reusable items for donation and responsibly dispose of general waste, by prior agreement and in line with local regulations.
Real-World Same Day Removals Scenarios
Moving House at Short Notice
Completion dates sometimes change with little warning. We regularly help Acton families and individuals move house on the same day, focusing first on essential furniture, children’s items and key appliances so your new home is liveable as soon as possible.
Urgent Office Relocation
Flooding, maintenance issues or lease changes can force businesses to move quickly. Our team can relocate desks, IT equipment, files and stock into new premises or temporary space, ensuring disruption is kept to a minimum.
Student and Flat Moves
End-of-tenancy dates, sudden flat changes or disagreements with housemates can all lead to urgent moves. We regularly move students and sharers within Acton, keeping costs sensible while still providing a fully insured, structured removals service.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a same day removal in Acton cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of the move, access at each property, travel distance and how much help you need with packing. A small same day flat move in Acton may be charged on an hourly rate, while larger house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed job. Same day work can be slightly more expensive than moves booked in advance due to scheduling and staffing demands, but we always provide a clear, itemised quote before starting so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate same day requests, but availability depends on our schedule, team capacity and vehicle allocation on that particular day. The earlier you contact us, the better the chance we can fit you in, especially for larger properties or office moves. If we cannot move everything on the same day, we may suggest a staged approach, prioritising essential items first. We will always be honest about what is realistic rather than over-promising and rushing the job.
What insurance cover do you provide during the move?
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care in the vehicle, subject to our terms and conditions and any declared high-value items. We also hold public liability insurance to cover accidental damage to property or injury caused by our activities. Our team handles items carefully to minimise the risk of any issues, and we encourage customers to highlight especially fragile or valuable belongings so we can take extra precautions and discuss cover in more detail where needed.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard same day removals include a trained crew, suitably sized vehicle, loading and unloading of your belongings, basic protection for furniture and transport between addresses. We place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture where agreed. Additional services, such as full packing, supply of packing materials, disposal of unwanted items or storage arrangements, can often be added, depending on time and availability. All inclusions and any optional extras will be clearly listed in your quote before you confirm.
How is a professional removal different from a casual man-and-van?
A professional removals service provides structured planning, trained staff, appropriate insurance and proper handling equipment. We conduct a brief survey, allocate the right team and vehicle, and use protective materials to reduce damage risk. A casual man-and-van may be cheaper on paper but often lacks insurance cover, documentation, and the staffing levels needed for safe, efficient loading. For same day moves, when stress levels are higher and time is tight, using a regulated, accountable removals company significantly reduces the chance of delays, damage or disputes.
How far in advance should I book, and can I still call on the day?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. However, our same day service exists precisely for situations where this is not possible. If you find yourself needing to move today, call us as early as you can. We will assess availability, explain what is achievable within the time frame and, if we can help, arrange a rapid survey and get a team to you as soon as practical.
