Is a man and van right for your move?

The question to answer first

Most people searching for a cheap man and van are really asking one thing. Will one van and the right number of movers actually clear the job in the time, with no surprise on the bill? That is the question worth answering first.

A man and van suits smaller jobs

This service suits smaller jobs. Think a single sofa or fridge, a few boxes, a marketplace pickup, a studio or one-bed flat, or student moves and halls runs at the end of term. For jobs like these, paying by the hour usually beats a full removal firm on price.

Larger jobs need a full move

Bigger than that? A three-bed house, a whole home with packing, or an office works better as a full house or flat move, where the crew and van are sized for the entire job. Tell us what you are shifting and we will point you to the right option, even when it is not this one.

How much does a man and van cost in London?

A man and van in London starts at £50 an hour for a Transit van and £75 an hour for a Luton van, both with a one-hour minimum. Most small jobs come to between about £100 and £375 in total, depending on the size of the move. Your price is agreed before we arrive, and there are no hidden fees.

Five things set the final figure

Five things set the final figure: the van size you need, how many movers you book, how long the job takes, the access at both ends, and the distance. Two of those are worth a word of advice.

  1. 01 The van size you need
  2. 02 How many movers you book
  3. 03 How long the job takes
  4. 04 Access at both ends
  5. 05 The distance travelled

More movers can cost less

More movers can cost less, not more. A driver plus one extra mover often works out cheaper than a driver on their own, because two people load in roughly half the time, so fewer hours end up on the bill.

Access is the big one

Access is the big one. Stairs and no lift above the second floor add time, and time is what you pay for. Give us the honest details, the floors, the lift or the lack of one, and where we can park, and the quote will match the bill.

Van size guide

Which van size do you need?

The right van means fewer trips and a lower total bill. Here is a quick guide.

Enough room without paying for space you do not need

  1. Single items

    Small van

    Single items and light loads. Around ten boxes, a chest of drawers, a washing machine, or a student room. Ideal for a marketplace pickup or one large item.

  2. Studio or one bed

    Transit van (large)

    A studio or one-bed flat. Sofas, a bed, boxes and the usual furniture, most of it in a single trip.

  3. One to two beds

    Luton van

    One to two-bed moves and full loads. Roughly 500 cubic feet of space with a tail lift, so heavy items go up without a struggle. The tail lift takes up to about 500kg.

Same-day and weekend availability

Same-Day, Weekends and Every London Borough

Seven days a week, from 7am, our vans are already on the road, and a same-day move is often possible when one is free. Weekend and evening slots are there for when a weekday will not work.

Coverage is the whole of London. From Wandsworth and Clapham to Camden, Waterloo and out to the edges of the city, we are on those roads every day.

For a central move inside the congestion zone, the current £18 daily congestion charge is added only when it applies. We flag it upfront so it never lands as a surprise. See all the areas we cover across London .

Moving further afield? National routes and regular trips to Europe are part of what we do. Just ask when you get your quote.
