London man and van in 4 steps
How to get a man with a van
-
Contact us online or over the phone and share all the details about the move. Based on your specific requests, we will provide you with a free quote for man and van hire near your location.
Bear in mind that we don't charge per item, but per the time needed. That's why, to calculate the necessary time for the service, we need a detailed list of all your possessions that will be moved.
-
On the day of your man and van service, a fully equipped van with a driver will be sent to your address. After you load your belongings, the driver can assist with arranging the items inside the van, so that they are transported safely.
All pieces of furniture will be wrapped in blankets and additionally secured with belts. Upon request, we can also provide covers to protect mattresses and soft furnishings.
For maximum efficiency, we strongly advise that you prepare your items for the man and van service before the professional driver arrives at your address.
-
Your belongings are fully insured during transportation when packed by the professionals from Fantastic Removals. We don’t take responsibility for moving boxes packed by customers, as we can’t give a guarantee for proper packing.
Your load will be transported in a Transit van. To reduce the chance of delays to a minimum, the professional driver will use a reliable GPS system and take the shortest route to the delivery address. -
Upon arrival at the delivery location, you or a friend of yours must be on site to meet the driver and unload the van. To minimise any inconvenience, don't forget to arrange a convenient parking spot near the property.
This way you can start unloading the moving van as quickly as possible and ensure that the man and van service is completed with the highest efficiency.

Bonus tip: Inform us of any antiques or expensive items
We take great care of anything that is loaded and transported to your new address. However, we also prefer to be notified of any antique or rare items so they can be wrapped in extra materials for better protection. Anyway, if there are such items, we strongly recommend you be very careful while moving them from the property to the van, especially if you move through staircases.
