Man and van in South West London
Not every move is a house move. One sofa, a student room, a bed from Facebook Marketplace, the contents of a storage unit. A van and the right number of hands, priced as the small job it is.
When man and van is the right call
If it fits in one van load and does not need a full crew, you should not be paying house-removal money for it. That covers single items, a room's worth of things, a studio or small one-bed, a marketplace collection, or a run to and from storage.
Some people call it a man with a van, some a man and van. It is the same job either way, and the same fixed price.
If it is more than that we will say so, because underestimating a job helps nobody — you end up with a second trip and a longer day.
Man and van is normally one driver. If what you are moving needs a second pair of hands — stairs with no lift, anything heavy, or more than one person can safely carry — we will tell you before you book, and it goes on the price then rather than on the day.
Still a fixed price
A fixed written price before we start. No hourly meter, no bill that grows while you watch. The same applies to the small jobs. Send a photo of what is going and where it is going from, and you get a number.
Stairs, parking and how far the van can get are what actually move a man and van price. We have set out what changes the cost of a move so you can judge any quote you are given, ours included.
Parking is yours to arrange, at both ends. Legal, usable space next to the door is the single biggest cause of a move running late, so we raise it when we quote rather than on the morning.
What we will and will not take
Furniture, boxes, appliances, bikes, garden things, the awkward items a courier turns down. For insurance reasons we cannot carry passengers or pets in the van.
Furniture you no longer want does not go in a skip if somebody can still use it. Where it is in good condition we pass it on to someone who needs it. There is a charge for taking it away, and it goes on the total balance to pay.

Questions people ask
How do I get a price?
For anything large or awkward we will do a survey, in person or over video. For everything else, photos or a short video of the rooms are enough. Photos tell us the volume, the access and anything unusual. That is what makes a quote accurate instead of a number we have to revise on the day.
Do you charge by the hour?
Almost every job we quote is a fixed price. Hourly only makes sense on the rare job where nobody can say what is coming — a clearance, or a load still being sorted. We will tell you if yours is one of them.
Are you insured?
£50,000 goods in transit and £5 million public liability, and the goods cover can be increased on request. Ask and we will email you the certificate.
Who sorts the parking?
Parking is yours to arrange, at both ends. Legal, usable space next to the door is the single biggest cause of a move running late, so we raise it when we quote rather than on the morning.
How much notice do you need?
One to two weeks for a small move, three to four weeks for a whole house. Ring if it is sooner — we keep room for short notice.
