Our man and van service in London is designed for small, flexible and local moves where you need a professional driver and Transit van for fast and reliable transport of a smaller load.

It is ideal for short-distance moves, furniture collection, student relocations, storage transport and urgent same-day deliveries across London.

When this service is the right choice

Choose man and van if you are:

✓ Moving a studio or 1-bedroom flat with limited furniture
✓ Transporting boxes, bags or personal belongings
✓ Collecting or delivering furniture from stores or marketplaces
✓ Moving items into or out of storage
✓ Handling a small, local or urgent move in London
Important to know before your move

This is a self-loading service. You or someone on your behalf must load and unload the van.

To ensure a smooth move:

✓ Larger furniture should be dismantled where needed
✓ Items must fit through doors, staircases and corridors
✓ Appliances should be disconnected before transport
✓ Parking should be arranged close to both properties where possible
Add extra move-out services

To make your move easier, you can add:

When to consider removals instead

If you need help with loading, have a large property move, higher-floor access without a lift, or require full packing support, our removals service will usually be the better option.

Man and van FAQs

Can I travel with a man with a van?
Due to safety reasons, we are not legally allowed to transport customers in the moving van. Thus, you will have to arrange your own transportation to get to the drop-off location.
What do I need to do before the man and van service?
You should organise a parking space prior to moving day. Also, ensure that items, which you need moving, are ready for loading (ex: empty drawers, dismantle wall-mounted TV sets, etc.).
Can you come on the same day I call you?
Yes. Based on the available man with van near you, you can schedule a same-day appointment. Make sure to contact us and we'll do what we can to fit you into the schedule as soon as possible.
Are there any additional charges if I have to cancel the service?
No charge is applied if you notify us at least 48 hours before your appointment. If you have more questions related to the price of the service, you can check our detailed guide on the man and van price factors.
How many guys will you send?
Our man and van service offers only one professional driver to handle the goods' transportation. If you need two or more movers you'll need to book our complete removals service.
I’m only moving a few miles. Can I put my cat in the van?
Unfortunately, we are not allowed to transport pets, even if they are secured in a carrier and the delivery location is not far from your old address.
