Man & Van
London

We charge £50/hr for 1 man + van and £65/hr for 2 men + van. The minimum booking is 2 hours. Additional time is charged in 30-minute increments — so if your job takes 2.5 hours, you pay for 2.5 hours, not 3. Our van is fully ULEZ-compliant — no ULEZ surcharge is passed on. The Congestion Charge is only added if the job requires the van to enter the central zone. It rose to £18 per day on 2 January 2026, and the hours changed too — it now runs 07:00–18:00 Monday to Friday and 12:00–18:00 on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays. It is passed on at cost with zero markup. Worth knowing the zone is smaller than most people assume: Kensington, Chelsea, Notting Hill and Fulham are all outside it, so a move between any of those carries no charge at all.

Yes — we accept same-day and last-minute bookings when our schedule allows. The best way to check availability quickly is to WhatsApp us directly on 07897 383022. We will reply within minutes and tell you honestly whether we can fit you in. Being based in Chiswick W4, we can typically reach most of West and South West London within 20 to 30 minutes of departure.

Every van carries moving blankets, ratchet straps, a sack truck and a furniture dolly. These are included in the hourly rate at no extra charge. If you need cardboard boxes, bubble wrap or packing tape, we recommend sourcing these in advance — we do not currently supply packing materials on the day, though we offer a packing service if booked in advance.

Our standard vans are large wheelbase transits — approximately 12 cubic metres of load space. This is enough for the contents of a one-bedroom flat or a studio plus additional items. For two-bedroom flats or larger volumes, we may use a Luton box van or recommend booking 2 men + van for a more efficient load. When you contact us, describe what you're moving and we'll recommend the right vehicle.

A man and van is charged by the hour and is ideal for smaller moves — studio flats, single rooms, student moves, eBay or Marketplace collections, and light commercial deliveries. A full removal service is typically quoted at a fixed price and includes a larger team, bigger vehicle, packing materials, furniture disassembly and a more structured approach suited to multi-bedroom houses and offices. If you are moving a one- or two-bedroom flat and can handle some of the packing yourself, a man and van is usually the more cost-effective option.

Yes. Our van is fully ULEZ-compliant. Since August 2023 the Ultra Low Emission Zone has covered all London boroughs, so this matters for every London move — and we pass on no ULEZ surcharge to customers. The Congestion Charge is separate and only applies if your move crosses into the central zone. It is £18 a day as of 2 January 2026, and since that change it runs at weekends as well — 07:00–18:00 Monday to Friday and 12:00–18:00 on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays. The zone's western edge is Park Lane and Edgware Road, so Kensington, Chelsea, Notting Hill and Fulham sit outside it despite feeling central. We confirm any applicable charge at booking.

Yes. We operate across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London. We are based in Chiswick W4, which gives us fast access to West London, South West London and Central London. We also regularly work in North London, East London and South London. For longer-distance moves within the UK, we offer fixed-price quotes rather than hourly rates.

Yes. Our vans carry appliance trolleys specifically for heavy white goods. We disconnect, transport and reconnect washing machines, fridge-freezers, dishwashers and tumble dryers. If your appliance is integrated or built-in, please mention this when booking so we come prepared with the right tools. Disconnection of gas appliances must be done by a qualified Gas Safe engineer before we arrive.

Yes. We carry a full set of tools for standard furniture disassembly and reassembly — beds, wardrobes, desks, shelving units and flat-pack furniture. If you have IKEA PAX wardrobes, HEMNES beds or MALM drawers, we have taken hundreds of them apart and put them back together. Please let us know at booking which items need dismantling so we can factor in the time.

No. There is no stair charge, no floor surcharge and no fee if the lift is out. Stairs do take longer, though, so a fourth-floor flat with no lift will use more hours than the same load at street level. Tell us the floor and lift situation at both addresses when you book so the estimate reflects reality rather than optimism.

Someone needs to be present at both addresses to give access, flag fragile items and say where things go. It does not have to be you — a friend, relative or letting agent works, provided they can make decisions and hold keys. Give us their name and number in advance.

You pay for the time actually used, in 30-minute increments after the 2-hour minimum. There is no penalty rate and no rounding up to the next full hour. If we can see mid-job that we will run over, we tell you then rather than at the end. The two most common causes of overrun are packing that is not finished when we arrive and parking that turns out to be further from the door than expected.

London Moverz carries £2 million public liability cover and £25,000 goods in transit insurance, covering your belongings from the moment we start loading until the last item is placed at your new address. It covers loss and damage in transit. It does not cover breakage caused by inadequate self-packing, and cash, jewellery and important documents should travel with you rather than in the van. If a building requires a Certificate of Insurance, tell us at booking and we will send it in advance.

We do not carry hazardous goods — petrol, gas cylinders, solvents, fireworks or chemicals — and we do not move pets or livestock. Live plants are fine locally but risky on a long summer run. Everything else is standard: white goods, garden equipment, gym kit, safes, drained aquariums and pianos. If you are unsure about an item, send a photo on WhatsApp before booking.

For weekend moves, we recommend booking at least one week in advance as demand is high — particularly at month end when tenancy agreements change over. For weekday moves, 2-3 days notice is usually sufficient. Same-day bookings are accepted when availability allows.

Yes, we operate from 7AM to 9PM, 7 days a week. Early morning starts are popular with customers who want to beat London traffic. Evening slots are also available for office moves that need to happen outside business hours. Just let us know your preferred time when booking.

Most local moves in London are completed in 2–4 hours. We operate 7 days a week, 7AM–9PM, and can often accommodate same-day or next-day bookings.

Yes, London Moverz is fully insured. All moves across London are fully covered, giving you complete peace of mind.

You can book online, call us on 07897 383022, or WhatsApp us. We confirm availability within the hour.
