Man and van

Man and van — without the man-with-a-van risk.

Smaller jobs, same standards. Studios, single rooms, student moves, single-item collections, IKEA pickups, eBay-Marketplace handovers — all run by the same trained crews and insured vehicles.

The category is full of one-man operators with a clipboard and an Instagram page. We treat man-and-van work the same way we treat a 5-bed family move: trained crews on the payroll, insured vehicles, transparent quoting, and a number you can actually reach if anything goes sideways.

Most man-and-van bookings are quoted in a 30-second call or chat. Tell us where it is, where it’s going, and what you’ve got — we’ll come back with availability and a price.

When to book a man and van

  • Studio and 1-bed flat moves
  • Student moves between halls / shared houses
  • Single-item collections (sofa, mattress, fridge)
  • IKEA, John Lewis or showroom collections
  • eBay / Facebook Marketplace handovers
  • Storage drop-offs and collections
  • Office desk moves and small clearance jobs
  • Help loading or unloading a hire van

One man or two?

One man works for single items and small loads where you can help on either side. Two-man crews are quicker, safer for stairs, and necessary for anything heavy or awkward — pianos, large fridges, wardrobes, sofa beds. We’ll recommend during quoting.

Frequently asked

How quickly can you come?
Most weeks we have same-day availability for small London jobs and next-day across the South East. Larger or out-of-town jobs typically need 1–2 days’ notice.
Can you help with a single sofa or mattress?
Yes — single-item moves are a daily occurrence. We bring straps and blankets and handle the stairs / lift / parking permission side as part of the job.
Do you charge extra for stairs or parking?
No surcharges. Stairs and parking are factored into the quote up front. If we need a parking permit dispensation we handle the paperwork for you.
Are you insured?
Yes — goods-in-transit and public liability cover on every job, including small man-and-van work.
