Local Same day Removals Expertise in Bow

We regularly handle urgent moves in and around:

Because we operate close by, our response times are fast and we can usually arrange an on-site or virtual survey very quickly, even for late-in-the-day bookings.
Who Our Same day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Chain complications, last-minute completion dates or urgent sales can all mean moving on very short notice. We help homeowners relocate swiftly while protecting high-value items and ensuring everything is properly loaded, transported and placed in your new home.
Renters
If you’ve received short-notice notice to quit, had a change in tenancy dates or found a better property and need to move fast, our **same day removals** give you a reliable, insured option instead of scrambling for an unvetted man-and-van.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We assist with urgent tenant changeovers, clear-and-move jobs and short-notice relocations, helping you meet legal deadlines while keeping properties protected and common areas tidy and damage-free.
Businesses
From small offices to retail units, we manage same day office removals, internal moves and emergency relocations with minimal disruption. We’re used to moving IT equipment, stock and sensitive documents carefully and efficiently.
Students
Course changes, accommodation mix-ups or term-time emergencies can mean moving quickly. We offer cost-conscious, efficient same day student removals with clear pricing and no unnecessary extras.

Our Step-by-Step Same day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Call us as early as you can. We’ll take key details: addresses, access, floors, lift availability, size of property and any special items. For smaller moves we can often quote immediately; for larger ones we’ll move quickly to arrange a survey.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
Where time allows, we carry out a short video or onsite survey. This lets us assess volume, parking, staircases and awkward items, so we can send the right vehicle size, number of movers and equipment. A quick, accurate survey is crucial for same-day efficiency.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you’re already packed, we’ll focus on protecting furniture and key items. If you need help, we can provide same day partial packing for fragile or high-value goods. We use blankets, mattress covers, export wrap and proper boxes to keep everything secure.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team will load systematically, securing items to avoid movement in transit. We plan the route around Bow’s traffic, bus lanes and restrictions to minimise delays, and we stay in touch if timings change slightly due to road conditions.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we place items into the rooms you specify and reassemble any furniture we dismantled. We work efficiently but carefully, protecting floors and walls and checking that nothing is left behind in the vehicle before we leave.
Transparent Same day Removals Pricing
Same day work often involves tight timing and flexible deployment of staff and vehicles, but our pricing remains clear and fair. We typically base costs on:
- Volume of goods and size of the property
- Number of movers required and total labour time
- Distance between addresses
- Access challenges (stairs only, long carries, parking restrictions)
- Additional services such as packing, materials or storage drops
Once we’ve assessed your move, we provide a clear written estimate so you know what is included. There are no hidden extras for standard items and normal access conditions; any potential additional costs (for example, extended waiting times imposed by third parties) are explained in advance.
Why Choose Professional Same day Removals Over DIY or a Casual Man-and-Van?
When time is short, it can be tempting to grab the first number you find online. However, a rushed, untrained or uninsured mover can turn an already stressful day into a costly problem.
- Trained teams know how to move heavy and fragile items safely, reducing the risk of damage and injury.
- Fully insured cover gives you protection if something does go wrong.
- Professional planning ensures the right vehicle, equipment and manpower arrive first time.
- We provide written confirmation, agreed timings and clear communication throughout.
- We respect neighbours, building rules and parking regulations, helping you avoid fines and disputes.
DIY or casual vans may seem cheaper up front, but damage to property, lost items or injuries can quickly outweigh any saving.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Bow Movers operates to recognised industry standards to give you peace of mind, even when moving at short notice.
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our vehicles.
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property.
- Trained moving teams – staff are trained in manual handling, loading techniques and furniture protection.
Details of our insurance cover, including limits and exclusions, are available on request and outlined in our booking documentation.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even on an urgent move, we do not compromise on care:
- Use of padded blankets, straps and protective covers
- Careful wrapping of fragile items and secure stacking in the vehicle
- Floor and banister protection where required in both properties
We also aim to work as sustainably as practical:
- Reusable crates and blankets wherever possible
- Reused or recycled cartons and materials when suitable
- Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and idling in Bow’s busy streets

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a same day removal in Bow cost?
Costs vary depending on property size, distance, access and how much help you need with packing and dismantling. A small same-day flat move within Bow may be at the lower end of our pricing, while a larger house or business move will require more movers and time. Once we understand your requirements, we’ll provide a clear estimate so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras for standard conditions, and we’ll always explain any potential additional charges before you confirm.
Can you really move me on the same day I call?
Same-day availability depends on our existing bookings and the scale of your move. For smaller flats, rooms or student moves, we can often respond very quickly, especially within Bow and nearby areas. Larger house or office relocations may still be possible, but may require some flexibility on timing. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better chance we have of arranging a full service. If a complete move isn’t realistic, we can often offer part-moves or priority items first.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and limits. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. Same-day moves are treated with the same level of protection as any planned move. We’ll outline the main conditions when you book and can provide written details on request, including any items that may require special declaration or are excluded under standard insurance terms.
What’s included in your same day removals service?
As standard, we provide a vehicle sized to your move, a trained team to load and unload, furniture protection, transport between addresses and placement of items in your new property. Where time allows, we can add packing of fragile items, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and drop-off at storage facilities. During the initial enquiry we’ll confirm exactly what you need and include it in your written quotation, so it’s clear what is and isn’t part of the agreed service.
How is Bow Movers different from a basic man-and-van service?
We operate as a professional removals company rather than an ad-hoc transport service. That means trained staff, appropriate vehicles and equipment, fully insured cover, written confirmations and clear pricing. We survey your move where possible, plan routes and access, and take responsibility for protecting both your belongings and the properties we work in. A casual man-and-van may be fine for a single item, but for a full home or office move – especially on the same day – the risks of damage, delays or no-shows are significantly higher.
How far in advance should I book a same day move?
For genuine same-day moves, contact us as early as possible in the morning; this gives us the best chance to allocate a team and vehicle. If you know a move is likely but dates aren’t confirmed, it’s worth speaking to us in advance so we’re aware and can advise on likely options. For next-day or short-notice moves, a day or two of warning is ideal, but we understand that emergencies happen, and we always do our best to accommodate urgent requests in Bow.
