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.
