Who Our Service Is For
Homeowners
Downsizing, renovating or moving within London? Our man and van option is perfect for smaller property moves, moving items into storage, or transporting heavier pieces that will not fit safely in a car.
Renters
If you are in a flat or house share in Hammersmith, our service is tailored to quick, efficient moves with minimal disruption. We are used to tight stairwells, parking restrictions and timed key collections, and we plan around them.
Landlords
We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, moving furniture between properties, and delivering appliances. We work carefully and respectfully in occupied or newly refurbished properties.
Businesses
For small offices, shops and clinics, we offer professional man and van moves for desks, chairs, IT equipment, stock and documents. We can schedule outside normal hours to minimise downtime.
Students
We regularly move students to and from Hammersmith, including halls and shared houses. We offer fair, transparent pricing and can combine drops if you are sharing with course mates.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture (beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, drawers)
- Appliances (fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers – disconnected)
- Boxes, bags, suitcases and personal belongings
- Office furniture and IT equipment (carefully wrapped and secured)
- Sports equipment, bikes and hobby items
- Non-fragile garden furniture, tools and barbecues (clean and cool)
Items Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement
For safety, legal and insurance reasons we cannot carry:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, solvents, paint thinners, explosives)
- Live animals or pets
- Illegal items or goods of uncertain origin
- Industrial machinery not designed for domestic power supply
- Overly valuable single items such as high-value artwork or jewellery without prior agreement
- Commercial quantities of chemicals or clinical waste
If you are unsure about a particular item, ask when you enquire and we will advise clearly.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: addresses, dates, property size and any special items. We will ask a few focused questions, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote with either an hourly rate or a fixed price depending on the job.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For straightforward jobs, a phone or video survey is usually enough. For larger or more complex moves, we can arrange a short onsite survey in Hammersmith. This allows us to check access, parking, stairs and item sizes so we can send the right van and number of movers.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack yourself or add our packing service. If we pack, we bring quality boxes, tape and wrapping, and label cartons clearly by room. If you pack, we will guide you on how to pack safely so that loading and unloading are efficient and your belongings are protected.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the job with you and starts loading. We use blankets, straps and trolleys to protect furniture and avoid damage to walls and floors. Everything is stacked securely in the van before we drive directly to your destination.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property we unload items into the rooms you specify. We place furniture where you want it so that you can settle in more quickly. Before we leave, we do a final check to ensure nothing has been missed and you are happy with the placement.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear, honest pricing with no hidden extras. Our man and van work is usually charged in one of two ways:
- Hourly rate – best for local, flexible moves where the scope may change slightly on the day.
- Fixed price – ideal for defined jobs with a clear inventory and set addresses.
Your quote will confirm what is included: number of movers, size of van, expected time, and any additional services such as packing or furniture dismantling. Parking charges or congestion fees (if applicable) are explained in advance so you know exactly what to budget for.
Why Choose a Professional Man and Van Over DIY
Hiring a casual van or asking friends for help may seem cheaper, but it often costs more in time, stress and damage. As a professional removals operator, we bring:
- Experienced, trained movers who handle heavy and awkward items safely
- Correct lifting techniques to reduce the risk of injury
- Specialist equipment such as dollies, straps and blankets
- Proper planning for access, parking and loading order
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
This means fewer breakages, quicker loading and unloading, and a move that runs to time, even in busy parts of Hammersmith.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, so we operate to clear, professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in handling furniture, appliances and fragile items in tight London spaces.
- Clean, well-maintained vehicles equipped with protective materials and securing points.
We handle your possessions as if they were our own and keep communication clear from first enquiry to completion.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care not only of your belongings but also of your property and the environment:
- Protective blankets and careful handling to prevent scuffs and scratches
- Considerate working practices in shared buildings and on busy streets
- Re-usable crates and recycled packing materials where possible
- Efficient route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions
- Option to re-use or collect used boxes after your move, where practical

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and van service in Hammersmith cost?
Costs depend on the size of your move, access, distance and whether you need extra services such as packing. Smaller local jobs are often charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum booking period. Larger, clearly defined moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. When you contact us, we will ask a few practical questions, then give you a clear price with all expected charges listed, so you know exactly what you will pay before you book.
Can you do same-day or urgent man and van moves?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Hammersmith, depending on van and crew availability. If you are facing an urgent situation, call us as early in the day as possible with full details of what needs moving and the addresses involved. We will confirm what we can realistically achieve, provide a firm price and a time window, and then work with you to get the essentials moved safely and efficiently.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our vehicles are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being transported, subject to the usual policy conditions and any declared value limits. We also carry public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties during the move. We will explain the key points in plain language before you book, and you are welcome to ask for clarification on any aspect of our cover.
What is included in your man and van service?
Our standard service includes a suitable removals van, at least one experienced mover, safe loading and unloading, protective blankets, straps and basic disassembly of simple furniture where agreed in advance. We can also provide packing materials or a full packing service as an optional extra. Parking costs, congestion or clean air zone charges are not built into the basic rate but will be clearly shown on your quote if they apply, so there are no surprises on the day.
What is the difference between removals and a man and van service?
A full removals service is usually suited to larger house or office moves and may include detailed surveys, full packing and unpacking, specialist wrapping and multiple vehicles. A man and van service, like ours in Hammersmith, is best for smaller moves, partial loads or single items where you still want a professional team but with more flexibility and typically lower cost. We can advise which option is right for you based on the size and complexity of your move.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekends and month-end dates, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance, as these are our busiest times. For weekday moves and smaller jobs, a few days' notice is often enough, though more notice always gives you a better choice of time slots. If you need a short-notice move, contact us and we will check our schedule. Once you accept our quote, we confirm your booking in writing with your date, arrival window and agreed price.
