- Office and small business moves with minimal downtime
- Furniture collection and delivery from stores, auctions, or storage

Who our service is for
- Homeowners downsizing or moving locally who don’t need a full lorry

- Businesses relocating small offices, shops or consulting rooms
- Students moving into or out of halls and shared accommodation
Local Expertise in Earls Court
Working in Earls Court day in, day out means we understand the area’s particular challenges: narrow streets, controlled parking zones, one-way systems and tight stairwells in period conversions. We routinely handle:
- Arranging parking suspensions or using loading bays where possible
- Navigating basement and top-floor flats with awkward staircases
- Protecting communal areas in mansion blocks and conversions
- Timing moves to avoid peak traffic on Warwick Road, Cromwell Road and Old Brompton Road
This local knowledge helps us plan efficiently and reduce delays and risks to your belongings.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items typically included
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, chests of drawers
- Boxes, suitcases, bags and personal belongings
- Kitchenware, books, clothes and home contents
- Office furniture – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving
- IT equipment – computers, screens, printers and peripherals
- Domestic appliances – fridges, freezers, washing machines, where safely disconnected
Items we generally exclude
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot usually carry:
- Hazardous materials (gas bottles, fuel, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
- Live animals or pets
- Unsecured large machinery or industrial equipment
- High-value items such as fine art, antiques or jewellery without prior agreement
If you are unsure whether an item can be moved, we will clarify this during your enquiry so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Step-by-Step Moving Process
1. Enquiry & quote
You contact us with basic details: addresses, access, list of items, and preferred dates. We ask targeted questions to understand volume, any fragile or heavy items, and access issues. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day.
2. Survey (virtual or onsite)
For more complex moves, we may suggest a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to confirm volume, parking, staircases and any dismantling required. A short video call or walk-through often prevents issues later and ensures the right van size and crew are allocated.
3. Packing & preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service at an additional cost. Where we pack, we use quality materials and label boxes clearly. We also prepare on the day by protecting key items with blankets and covers, and dismantling simple furniture where agreed.
4. Loading & transport
Our trained team carefully loads the van, securing items with straps and using padded blankets for protection. We plan the route in advance and use suitable vehicles for London streets. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while in our care.
5. Unloading & placement
On arrival, we unload systematically, placing items into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled as part of the service and carry out a final check to ensure nothing has been left behind in the van.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
Our man and van pricing is simple and explained upfront. We typically charge:
- An hourly rate for a van with one or two movers, with a minimum booking period
- Or a fixed price for clearly defined moves where volume and access are confirmed
Rates vary depending on the day, time, number of movers required, and the complexity of the job. Parking, tolls and congestion charges are either included in the quote or itemised clearly. We do not add hidden extras on the day, and any potential additional costs are discussed in advance.
Why Choose Professional Movers Over DIY
Hiring a cheapprofessional man and van service you benefit from:
- Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and protect furniture correctly
- Fully insured vehicles and cover for your belongings in transit
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Reliable arrival times and clear communication
- Compliance with building rules, parking regulations and safety standards
For many customers, the reduction in risk and hassle more than justifies the modest difference in cost versus DIY or informal help.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised standards:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while on the move
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling delicate and bulky items
Policy details and limits can be provided on request, and we are happy to explain how cover applies to your particular move. If you have especially high-value items, we can discuss additional arrangements.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Our approach is to move your belongings with care and respect while keeping our environmental impact in mind. We use reusable furniture blankets, plastic-free packing options where possible, and consolidate journeys to reduce unnecessary mileage. We encourage customers to reuse boxes and can collect reusable materials after your move by arrangement.
We also take care when working inside your property: protecting doors, bannisters and floors where required, and ensuring communal areas are left clean and tidy.
Real-World Use Cases in Earls Court
- Moving house – One- and two-bedroom flats moved in a single day, including dismantling and reassembly of beds and wardrobes.
- Office relocations – Small businesses and consultancies shifting between serviced offices with minimal downtime.
- Student moves – Compact moves to and from halls with flexible evening or weekend slots.
- Urgent moves – Short-notice relocations where a tenancy has ended suddenly or completion dates have changed.
Whatever your situation, we tailor our man and van service to fit your timescales and constraints.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and van in Earls Court cost?
Costs depend on the size of the van, number of movers, and how long the move takes. For smaller moves we usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period; for clearly defined jobs we can often agree a fixed price. Factors such as stairs, awkward access, dismantling furniture and distance between addresses will all influence the final cost. We provide a clear written quote before you book so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?
Yes, we can often provide same-day or urgent man and van services in Earls Court, subject to availability. Short-notice moves are common in London, especially around rental changeovers, so our schedule is flexible where possible. The more information you can provide when you call, the faster we can confirm whether a van and crew are available. For urgent bookings, having your items packed and ready to go will help us keep time – and cost – to a minimum.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle and under our care. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property. Insurance has defined limits and conditions, so we recommend you tell us about any unusually high-value items before the move. We can then confirm how they are covered and whether any additional protection is advisable.
What is included in your man and van service?
Our standard service includes a suitable van, one or more trained movers, loading, secure transport and unloading at your new address. We provide blankets, straps and basic tools for simple furniture dismantling and reassembly by prior agreement. Additional services such as full or partial packing, supply of packing materials, and furniture disposal can be arranged at extra cost. All inclusions are listed in your quote so you know exactly what is covered before you confirm your booking.
What is the difference between removals and a man and van service?
A man and van service is a more flexible, scaled-down version of a full removals crew. It is ideal for smaller moves, fewer items, or where you prefer to pack yourself and simply need transport and lifting help. Full removals services often involve larger teams, bigger vehicles, full packing, detailed inventories and more extensive planning. Many customers find man and van perfectly adequate for flats, student moves and small offices, while larger homes may benefit from a full removals package.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend and month-end moves, booking at least two weeks in advance is advisable, as these dates fill quickly in Earls Court. For midweek or off-peak moves, a few days’ notice is often enough. That said, we do regularly accommodate last-minute requests where our schedule allows. Once you know your moving date, it is wise to reserve a slot, especially if you need specific times or additional services like packing or furniture dismantling.
