Local Same Day Removals Expertise in Merton

Based in the borough of Merton, we work across Wimbledon, Morden, Mitcham, Colliers Wood and the surrounding areas every day. That local knowledge is crucial for same day moves. We understand:

• Parking restrictions and loading bays around Merton
• Peak traffic routes and realistic journey times
• Access challenges in Victorian terraces and purpose-built blocks
• How to coordinate keys, estate agents and building management on short notice

Because our teams and vehicles are already in and around Merton, we can often respond faster than companies travelling in from further afield.

Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Chain complications, last-minute completions or changes to your move date can leave you needing to move quickly. We help homeowners in Merton complete same day house removals without cutting corners on protection, inventory and placement in your new property.

Renters

Short-notice end of tenancy, landlord requests or sudden changes of plan can all require urgent moves. We regularly support tenants in flats and shared houses with same day flat removals, ensuring communal areas are protected and building rules respected.

Landlords

We assist landlords with urgent removals when a property must be cleared quickly – whether after tenant changeovers, refurbishments or compliance deadlines. We can remove furniture, white goods and general contents efficiently and responsibly.

Businesses

For small offices, shops, clinics or studios, unexpected lease issues or urgent refurbishments can make a fast move essential. Our same day office removals prioritise minimal downtime, safe transport of IT and confidential materials, and clear labelling for easy setup at the new site.

Students

Students in Merton and nearby universities often need quick moves at the start or end of term, or between house shares. We provide affordable, efficient same day student removals with flexible options for shared loads and smaller moves.

What We Can and Cannot Move on the Same Day

Items Typically Included

• Domestic furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables and chairs
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines and cookers (disconnected)
• Personal belongings – clothes, books, toys and ornaments
• Electronics – TVs, PCs, monitors, printers and small appliances
• Office furniture – desks, chairs, filing cabinets and shelving
• Boxed files, stock and equipment

Items We Normally Exclude

For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded from our same day removals service:

• Hazardous materials – gas cylinders, fuel, solvents, chemicals and paint thinners
• Illegal goods or items prohibited by law
• Unboxed loose small items that cannot be safely carried or stacked
• Very high-value items (fine art, certain antiques, jewellery) without prior agreement
• Animals and live plants in large quantities

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise clearly at the time of booking.

Our Same Day Removals Process

Even when time is tight, we follow a clear, structured process to keep your move organised and safe.

1. Enquiry & Quote

Call or message us as soon as you know you need a same day removal in Merton. We will take key details: addresses, access, number of rooms, main items, timings and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and confirm whether same day slots are available.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most same day moves we complete a rapid virtual survey (video call or photos). For larger properties, if time allows and you are local, we may attend in person. The survey lets us allocate the right size vehicle, crew and equipment, and identify access issues before we arrive.

3. Packing & Preparation

If you are able to pack before we arrive, that helps us load quickly. Where needed and feasible within your timescale, our team can assist with:
- Supplying boxes and packing materials
- Packing fragile items and kitchenware
- Dismantling simple furniture such as bed frames and tables

We use protective covers for mattresses, sofas and other vulnerable items whenever possible.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team loads your belongings methodically, using blankets, straps and trolleys to protect both items and property. We work carefully around tight stairwells, lifts and hallways common in Merton properties. Your goods are transported in our purpose-built vehicles under goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it and reassembling agreed items. We aim to leave you in a usable, safe space, with boxes and key furniture accessible from day one.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Moves

Same day removals are priced fairly and transparently, with no hidden extras. Our pricing typically considers:

• Property size and volume of goods
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Distance between addresses
• Access complexity (stairs, parking, long carries)
• Any additional services, such as packing or dismantling

Because of the urgency and scheduling requirements, same day removals may carry a premium over advance bookings, especially evenings or weekends. We will always explain costs clearly before you confirm.

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

In a same day situation, it can be tempting to hire the first cheap van you find. However, using a professional removals company like Merton Movers offers clear advantages:

• Fully insured – goods in transit and public liability cover
• Trained teams who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
• Proper equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys and tools for dismantling
• Reliable timing and communication
• Written confirmation of your booking and agreed costs

DIY or casual man-and-van options often lack insurance, experience and accountability, which is a significant risk when everything must happen on the same day.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Merton Movers operates to recognised professional standards to protect you and your belongings:

• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our vehicles
• Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises
• Trained, experienced staff following safe lifting and handling practices
• Detailed job instructions so the whole team understands your requirements

Details of cover levels and terms are available on request and can be discussed before booking so you know exactly where you stand.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even under time pressure, we do not compromise on care:

• Use of padded covers and blankets to protect furniture
• Floor protection where appropriate, especially in communal areas
• Careful stacking and securing of loads to minimise movement in transit

We also work with sustainability in mind:

• Reusing sturdy packing materials where safe and hygienic
• Encouraging clients to use reusable crates for repeat or business moves
• Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use

Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases

Moving House at Short Notice

Completion dates sometimes change with little warning. We regularly help Merton homeowners complete full same day house moves when chains suddenly align or dates are brought forward, coordinating timings with solicitors and agents where needed.

Urgent Office or Shop Relocation

A lease dispute, emergency repairs or an unexpected opportunity for better premises can all force a rapid move. Our teams pack and move desks, IT, stock and signage efficiently, helping you get operational again as quickly as possible.

Last-Minute Student and Flat Moves

House share changes, end-of-term surprises or issues with accommodation can mean you need to move in a matter of hours. We help students and renters in Merton move belongings quickly and safely, even when there is only a small window for access.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a same day removal in Merton cost?

Costs vary depending on property size, volume of goods, distance travelled and how much help you need with packing and dismantling. As a guide, a small flat move within Merton will usually cost less than a larger house move across the borough or beyond. Same day moves can carry a premium due to scheduling and crew availability, especially in peak periods. We will ask a few questions, carry out a quick survey if possible, and provide a clear, itemised quote before you commit.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate same day requests, especially within Merton, but availability depends on how busy our crews and vehicles are when you call. During peak moving times and weekends, slots can fill quickly. Contact us as early in the day as possible, even if your move is not yet confirmed, so we can discuss options. If we cannot complete the full move that day, we may be able to move priority items or part of the load and schedule the rest shortly after.

Are my belongings insured during a same day move?

Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are on our vehicles, and our public liability cover applies while we are working at your properties. This is the same level of protection we provide for planned moves. Insurance has specific terms and limits, so we encourage you to tell us about any particularly valuable or delicate items in advance. We can then advise on packing, handling and any additional measures to ensure they are covered appropriately.

What is included in a same day removals service?

A typical same day removals service includes a suitably sized vehicle, a trained team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms of your choice. We provide blankets, straps and basic tools as standard. Subject to timing and your quote, we can also include help with packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly. What is not included are hazardous materials, specialist high-value items without prior agreement, and packing materials beyond what is specified in your booking. We always confirm exactly what is included before you accept our quote.

How does a professional removals service differ from a man-and-van?

A professional removals company like Merton Movers offers structured planning, trained staff, appropriate equipment and full insurance. Our teams are experienced in handling heavy, awkward and fragile items, and work to established procedures. Casual man-and-van services often lack adequate insurance, may not use protective equipment, and may rely on ad hoc pricing. For a same day move, when there is little room for error, using a professional service significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays or last-minute cancellations.

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

For same day moves, contact us as soon as you believe you might need to move, even if details are not finalised. The earlier you call on the day, the better the chance we can allocate a crew and vehicle at a time that suits you. For planned urgent moves (for example, within the next few days), booking ahead gives more flexibility and may reduce costs. However, we are always happy to discuss genuine last-minute situations and will help wherever our schedule allows.
