From small offices to shops and studios, our man with a van service is ideal for light office moves, moving stock, IT equipment, archive boxes and furniture. We can work outside normal hours to reduce disruption to your team and customers.
Students moving to or from Richmond, Twickenham and nearby universities and colleges rely on us to move boxes, suitcases, bikes and a few pieces of furniture. Our service is flexible enough to handle shared-house moves and term-time storage moves.
If you are unsure about any item, we are happy to advise before the move to ensure everything is handled safely and in line with our insurance and legal obligations.
You contact us by phone or online with details of what you are moving, addresses, dates and any access information. We will ask clear, practical questions so we can give an accurate, no-obligation quote. For straightforward small moves, we can usually price from your description and photos.
For larger or more complex jobs, we may recommend a short video call or an onsite survey. This helps us understand parking, staircases, lifts, long carries and any fragile or awkward items. By planning properly at this stage, we minimise surprises on the day and keep to the agreed cost.
You can choose to pack yourself or use our professional packing service. If you pack, we can supply high-quality boxes and materials. If we pack, our trained team will wrap, protect and label your belongings systematically, ensuring everything is ready for safe loading.
On moving day, our team arrives on time, protects key items with blankets and straps, and loads the van carefully, prioritising safety and stability. We plan the load so that fragile items are protected and heavy pieces are secured. Once loaded, we take the most suitable route to your destination, keeping you updated if there are any delays.
At the new property, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We can assemble basic furniture we dismantled by prior agreement. Before we leave, we will check you are happy with the placement of key items and that nothing has been missed from the van.

Our goal is to complete your move efficiently while keeping disruption and environmental impact to a minimum.
Ideal for one- and two-bedroom flats, studio apartments and partial house moves, especially where access is tight. We can complete your move in one day, or split it into several smaller trips if that suits your schedule.
Smaller offices and shops use our service to move furniture, files and equipment within Richmond upon Thames or to nearby business districts. We can work early mornings, evenings or weekends to reduce downtime.
Sometimes moves arise at short notice – a tenancy notice, a last-minute purchase, or a let-down by another company. When our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or next-day man with a van support, always maintaining the same professional standards.
Costs vary depending on how much you are moving, access at each property and the distance involved. We normally price smaller local moves on an hourly rate, with a minimum booking period, or as a fixed quote where the inventory is clear. To give you an accurate price, we will ask about the size of your property, number of boxes and any heavy or awkward items. All charges, including any parking or congestion fees, are explained before you confirm the booking.
Yes, subject to availability. We understand that emergencies and last-minute changes happen, so we keep some flexibility in our schedule where possible. If you need a same-day or urgent move, call us as early as you can with full details of what needs moving and where. We will confirm quickly whether we can help, provide a clear price and time window, and send a professional, fully equipped team rather than an unvetted casual driver.
Yes. Our man with a van service includes goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are on our vehicles and being handled by our team, plus public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. There are reasonable limits and exclusions, which we outline in our terms. If you have particularly high-value items, let us know in advance so we can confirm cover levels or suggest additional protection where appropriate.
As standard, we provide a suitable vehicle, one or more trained movers, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We also bring blankets and securing straps to protect and stabilise your items. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and disposal or recycling of unwanted items by arrangement. We agree exactly what is and is not included in writing before the job, so there are no surprises on the day.
Many informal man-and-van operators offer low prices but may not provide proper insurance, training, paperwork or reliable timings. Our service is run by an established removals company with professional standards, insured vehicles and trained staff. We survey more complex moves, plan access, provide clear written quotes and turn up when we say we will. If something goes wrong, we have procedures to put it right. In short, you get the flexibility of a man with a van with the reassurance of a reputable removals firm.
For weekend moves and busy times of year, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. However, we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. If your date is not fixed yet, we can provide an initial quote and hold a provisional slot for a short period. The earlier you contact us, the more options we have to plan your move efficiently and keep costs down.
