London's Most Trusted Man and Van Service
Whether you're moving a handful of boxes across the city, collecting a sofa from a marketplace seller, or relocating a studio flat, our man and van service gives you a professional, fully insured driver with a modern, GPS-tracked van — at a price that won't break the bank.
Unlike the big-name removals firms that charge a premium for small jobs, we specialise in flexible, affordable moves of all sizes. No minimum spend. No hidden surcharges. Just honest work at honest prices.
Why 15,000+ Londoners Choose Us
We've built our reputation on three simple promises: arrive on time, handle with care, and charge a fair price. Every driver on our team is DBS-checked, professionally trained, and directly employed — not a sub-contractor you've never met.
Our fleet of modern, clean vans ranges from compact short-wheelbase models for tight London streets to spacious Luton vans with tail lifts for bigger jobs. Every vehicle is GPS-tracked, fully insured, and equipped with moving blankets, straps, and a dolly.
Flexible Hourly Rates — No Minimum Hours Trap
Our man and van service is charged by the hour, starting from just £35/hr for a small van. Unlike competitors who enforce 3-hour minimums, we offer a genuine 2-hour minimum — because sometimes a quick pickup is all you need. Time is calculated door-to-door, and we never round up unfairly.

Why Our Man and Van Service Is Different
London has hundreds of man and van operators. Most are sole traders with old transit vans, zero insurance, and no accountability. We're the opposite.
We're a Proper Business — Not a Bloke with a Van
Every member of our team is directly employed, DBS-checked, and professionally trained. We don't use sub-contractors or gig workers. When you book with us, you know exactly who's turning up — and that they're backed by real insurance, not a promise.
Transparent Pricing with No Nasty Surprises
We've all heard the stories: a cheap hourly rate that balloons with fuel surcharges, stair fees, congestion zone charges, and "admin fees." We don't do any of that. Our quoted price includes everything — the van, driver, fuel, insurance, blankets, straps, and the Congestion Charge where applicable. The number we give you is the number you pay.
Real Insurance That Actually Covers You
We carry Goods-in-Transit insurance up to £50,000 and Public Liability insurance up to £1,000,000. Certificates are available on request before your move. Many budget operators have no insurance at all — or a policy that won't cover your items. Always ask, and always verify.
Eco-Conscious Moving
We're committed to reducing our environmental impact. Our fleet is regularly serviced for optimal fuel efficiency, we recycle all packing materials, and we're transitioning to electric vehicles. When you choose us, you're making a greener choice.
Our man and van prices start from £35/hr for a small van, £45/hr for a medium van, £55/hr for a large van, and £65/hr for a Luton van with tail lift. All prices include the driver, fuel, insurance, Congestion Charge (if applicable), and equipment. There are no hidden fees. For a precise quote, enter your postcodes and date on our quote page.
Small, medium, and large vans have a 2-hour minimum. Luton vans have a 3-hour minimum. We only charge for the time we use — we never round up unfairly. Most single-item pickups take 1.5-2 hours including travel time.
Yes! We frequently have same-day availability. Call us or submit a quote online, and we'll confirm within 30 minutes whether we can fit you in today. Same-day bookings are subject to availability and are at the same standard rates — no rush premium.
We cover all 33 London boroughs and surrounding areas including parts of Surrey, Kent, Essex, and Hertfordshire. For moves starting or ending outside London, we offer fixed-price quotes. Check our Areas We Cover page for local information.
Absolutely. We carry Goods-in-Transit insurance up to £50,000 and Public Liability insurance up to £1,000,000. Certificates of insurance are available on request before your move. Unlike many budget operators, we're a registered, fully insured business.
Not at all. Our driver (and helpers, if booked) will handle all loading and unloading. You're welcome to help if you'd like, but it's certainly not expected or required. We bring all the equipment needed — blankets, straps, trolley, and tools.
Yes, and we don't charge extra for stairs. Our team is experienced with London's narrow staircases, tight corners, and buildings without lifts. If you're above the 3rd floor with no lift, please mention it when booking so we can allocate enough time.
We accept all major credit and debit cards via our secure Stripe payment system. A 20% deposit secures your booking, with the balance due on completion. We also accept bank transfer for bookings made 48+ hours in advance.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your booking — full deposit refund. Rescheduling is free with 24 hours' notice. Cancellations within 24 hours may incur a fee of up to 50% of the booking value.
Our man and van is ideal for smaller moves, single items, and flexible hourly work. Our house removals service is designed for full property moves and includes a team of 2-4 movers, packing options, and a fixed-price quote. Not sure which you need? Get a quote and we'll recommend the best option.
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from real customers.
From the initial quote to the final box being unpacked, everything was seamless. The quote was accurate, no hidden fees, and the team was lovely. Highly recommended!
We relocated our 15-person office over a weekend. Everything was labelled, moved, and set up by Monday morning. Zero downtime. Incredibly well-organised.
As a student on a tight budget, I was pleased to find such affordable rates. The driver helped me carry everything up to my third-floor flat. Absolute legend!
I've used several man and van services in London and these are by far the best. Punctual, careful, and genuinely nice people. The van was spotless and well-equipped.
Moving a 3-bed house with two kids was stressful enough, but these guys made it so much easier. They packed everything, loaded up the Luton van, and had us unpacked by tea time.
I only needed a single wardrobe moved and they were happy to help. No job too small! Great price and the driver was really friendly. Will definitely use again.
Man and Van London — The Complete Guide
A man and van (sometimes called "man with a van") is the most popular way to move smaller loads across London. Unlike full-service removals companies, a man and van service offers flexible hourly rates, making it perfect for moves that don't need a 4-person team and a 7.5-tonne truck.
When Should You Use a Man and Van?
A man and van is ideal when you need to:
- Move a studio or 1-bed flat — typically takes 2-3 hours with a medium van
- Collect furniture from shops, IKEA, eBay/Facebook sellers, or Gumtree
- Deliver a single large item — a sofa, fridge, washing machine, or wardrobe
- Move student belongings to or from halls, shared houses, or storage
- Transport items between addresses — helping a friend, downsizing, or splitting a household
- Handle a part-load — when you don't need a full removals team
How Much Does a Man and Van Cost in London in 2026?
London man and van rates typically range from £25 to £65 per hour depending on the van size and number of helpers. Here's a quick comparison based on our research of London market rates:
| Van Size | Our Rate | London Average | You Save |

Man and Van vs Full Removals — Which Do You Need?
Here's how to decide:
| Scenario | Best Option |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bed flat | Man and Van (Medium) |
| Single item collection | Man and Van (Small) |
| 2-3 bed house | Man and Van (Large/Luton) or Removals |
