Man and Van Hire in London

Priced either as a fixed figure for the load or by the hour, man and van hire puts a driver, a van and a second pair of hands at your disposal. It is built for the jobs that do not warrant a full removals contract and do not fit in the back of a car, like a marketplace sofa two boroughs over or a fridge from a relative.

Whether it is a couple of hours moving furniture between flats in Camden or booking a man and van in Wembley for a single run across town, you tell us what is moving and we bring a vehicle to match it. Most single-van jobs finish in one trip, and a single item is as welcome as a load filled to the doors.

Fixed for the load, or open by the hour

For a clean pickup and drop we quote a set price for the load, so you know the total before we pull away. For the looser jobs, clearing a garage or ferrying bits between two nearby addresses, the hour can be the fairer way to charge. We agree which before we start, so the bill never catches you out.

Most single-van jobs finish in one trip. If yours needs two, we say so rather than cramming the load and risking a dent.

The second pair of hands

The person in the van is there to carry, not just to drive. They load, stack and take the weight, so you are not wrestling a sofa bed down a stairwell alone. For the genuinely heavy pieces we send two, which is simply the sensible way to lift a wardrobe.

Tell us the heaviest single thing you need shifted and we turn up staffed for it.

Small Moves and Part Loads

This covers the ground between a courier and a removal: a secondhand bed, a washing machine from a relative, a few boxes into storage, or the half of a move a car could not swallow. If it fits a van and needs lifting, it is our sort of job, and a single item is as welcome as a van filled to the doors.

Nothing is too small to book, and nothing is treated as an afterthought because it is.

For a small flat or room move, list the boxes, suitcases and loose bags separately from the furniture. Include anything bulky, such as a mini fridge, mattress or desk, with its dimensions where possible. Even a short move needs time for loading, carrying and unloading.

Getting a van booked

Send the pickup, the drop-off, a rough list of what is moving and the access at both ends. That is enough for a price and a slot, often for the same or the next day.

Once you are happy with the figure, we hold the time for you.

Frequently asked questions

Do you charge by the hour or by the job?+

Both. A clear A-to-B move is usually a fixed price for the load, while an open-ended job can run by the hour. We settle which before we begin.

Will the driver actually help carry?+

Yes, carrying and loading is the job. For heavy items we send two people, so mention the heaviest piece when you book.

Will my boxes and furniture fit in one trip?+

Send an item list with box and suitcase counts, plus dimensions or photos of the larger pieces. Mention anything that cannot be taken apart. The load needs to be checked before a one-trip move can be confirmed.

What if one flat has stairs and the other has a lift?+

Give the floor at each address separately and say which building has a lift. Include any lift size restrictions, booking requirements and distance from the van to the entrance, so the quote can account for the carrying at both ends.

Can I ask for moving boxes if I pack myself?+

Yes, include that request with your move details and say roughly how many boxes you need. Ask for availability and any cost to be confirmed in the quote; do not assume packing materials are included.

Is a single small item worth booking?+

It is. Single items and part-loads are a big slice of what we do, and they are priced to match.
