How It Works — Your Man and Van Hire London Guide
Step 1: Getting a Quote
Use our instant calculator or call 07345 129254. You'll need: pickup and delivery postcodes (or full addresses), your preferred date, and a rough idea of what you're moving. The more accurate your details, the more accurate your quote. We'll ask about access — stairs, lifts, parking — because these affect the time needed. Don't worry if you're unsure; our drivers can assess on the day.
Step 2: Booking & Preparation
Once you've confirmed your slot, we match you with an available driver in your area. Before move day: pack boxes and label rooms; dismantle any furniture that won't fit through doors (or ask us to do it); confirm parking — reserve a bay if needed; protect valuables — take jewellery, documents, and cash with you. We recommend booking 1–2 weeks ahead for best availability.
Step 3: Moving Day
Your driver arrives at the scheduled time. They'll load your items (you can help to save time), drive to your destination, and unload. Most man and van for flat removal jobs take 2–4 hours. You don't need to travel with them — meet them at the new address if you prefer. At the end, you pay for the time used.
