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.

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:

| Scenario | Best Option |
