Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Moving house can be demanding. We provide full and part-house home removals, including packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and careful handling of fragile items. We work to your schedule and coordinate with estate agents or solicitors where needed.

Renters

Whether you are moving from a studio or a multi-bedroom rental, we offer flexible flat and apartment removals tailored to renters. We can help with moving out of high-rise buildings, tight staircases and properties with limited access.

Landlords

For landlords in {area}, we provide efficient tenant changeover removals, including removal of old furniture, moving items into storage, and delivering new furnishings to your property. We can work to short timelines between tenancies.

Businesses

Our office and commercial removals service supports businesses of all sizes. We move desks, IT equipment, stock, filing and archives with care and discretion, helping you minimise downtime. Evening and weekend moves can often be arranged to reduce disruption.

Students

For students in {area}, we provide cost-effective student removals between halls, shared houses and storage. We can handle small loads, term-time moves and relocations to and from other UK cities.

Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (if safely disconnected)
Boxes of personal items, clothes and books
Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment

Items We Normally Exclude

Valuables such as cash, jewellery and important documents (we advise you to carry these personally)

If you have unusual or high-value items, please mention them during your enquiry so we can confirm what is possible and arrange any special handling.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us online or by phone with the details of your move in {area}. We will ask about property sizes, access, dates and any special items. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, either at an hourly rate or a fixed price, depending on the job.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume, access, parking and any dismantling needed. A survey helps avoid surprises on moving day and enables us to send the right vehicle size and number of movers.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer both full packing and part packing services. Our team can supply boxes, wrapping paper, bubble wrap and tape, and professionally pack your belongings, labelling boxes clearly by room. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can simply provide materials and guidance, ensuring everything is ready for loading.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, protects floors and key areas, and loads your items with care. Furniture is wrapped and secured, and items are arranged in the van to minimise movement during transit. Your goods are transported directly to your new property or storage facility, using efficient routes in and around {area}.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it. If agreed beforehand, we can reassemble furniture we dismantled and remove used packing materials for recycling. We only leave once you are satisfied everything has been delivered and placed correctly.

Transparent Pricing for Removals in {area}

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on factors such as:

Property sizes and volume of items
Distance between addresses
Number of movers and vehicles required
Level of service – from transport only to full packing and unpacking
Access challenges – stairs, long walks, restricted parking

You will receive a written quote outlining what is included, so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges for standard moves when the information provided is accurate and access is as described.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:

Safety – trained movers know how to lift and carry heavy items correctly, reducing the risk of injury and damage.
Efficiency – experienced teams work quickly and systematically, often completing moves in far less time.
Protection – proper equipment, blankets, straps and covers protect your belongings and property.
Insurance – your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance, unlike most informal services.
Reliability – scheduled arrival times, written booking confirmations and professional standards you can rely on.

While DIY moves may appear cheaper, the risk of damage, injury, delays and additional costs can quickly outweigh any savings.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a professional removals company, London Man Van operates with full insurance and high operating standards:

Goods in transit insurance – protects your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles.
Public liability cover – provides protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property or injury.
Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced, properly trained in lifting techniques, packing and vehicle loading.

We follow clear procedures for handling fragile items, documenting any pre-existing damage, and dealing with claims fairly if something does go wrong, though this is rare.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move as if it were our own property being transported. That means:

Using protective blankets, mattress covers and floor runners
Wrapping furniture to prevent scuffs and scratches
Securing loads properly inside the vehicle

We also take a responsible approach to the environment. Wherever possible, we reuse or recycle packing materials, encourage the use of reusable crates for office moves, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in {area} cost?

The cost of removals in {area} depends on the size of your property, volume of items, distance travelled and the level of service you choose. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are often quoted as a fixed price after a survey. Additional factors, such as access, stairs and parking restrictions, can also affect the final cost. We provide clear, no-obligation quotes so you know exactly what is included before you book.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, subject to availability, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent removals in {area}. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as early as possible with your details. We will check our schedule, vehicle availability and crew numbers, then offer you the closest suitable slot. While we cannot guarantee last-minute bookings at all times, we will always try to find a practical solution, even if that means splitting the move into stages or offering an alternative time.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles. We also carry public liability cover for added protection. Our team will explain the main terms and any limits that apply, and we are happy to answer specific questions about high-value items. For very valuable possessions, we may recommend additional cover or a written valuation. Although our crews take great care, insurance provides peace of mind in the unlikely event of an incident.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service includes a vehicle, fuel, a trained crew, loading, transport and unloading of your items. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you request and protect your belongings during the move with blankets and securing straps. Optional extras include packing and unpacking, supply of boxes and materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and short- or long-term storage. Your written quote will clearly list what is included so you can choose the level of support that best suits your needs and budget.

What is the difference between removals and a basic man-and-van?

A full removals service provides more than just transport. With London Man Van, you get trained movers, proper planning, protective materials, insurance cover and clear communication. A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, simple moves, but often lacks insurance, formal training and reliability. Our removals service is designed for people who want their belongings handled carefully, properties protected, and timing taken seriously, with clear accountability if anything goes wrong.

How far in advance should I book my move?

We recommend booking your removals in {area} as early as possible, particularly for Fridays, weekends and month-end dates, which are usually busiest. For most home moves, 2–4 weeks’ notice is ideal, allowing time for a survey, planning and any packing services you require. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change, so we aim to be flexible. Even if your move is close, it is still worth contacting us to check availability and discuss your options.
