At Man and Van Vauxhall, we provide reliable, well organised furniture removals throughout Vauxhall and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving everything from studio flats to large family homes and busy offices, we understand how to protect your furniture, keep disruption low, and complete your move on time.
Our furniture removals service is designed to take the heavy lifting, planning and logistics off your shoulders. We supply a professional, fully insured team, the right vehicles, and all the protective equipment needed to move your items safely.
Whether you're moving a single item across Vauxhall or an entire property into or out of the area, we handle every stage carefully – from initial survey through to positioning your furniture in your new space.
Working daily in and around Vauxhall means we know the local streets, estates and developments extremely well. We are used to:
This local knowledge helps us plan efficient routes, secure parking in advance where needed, and minimise delays on moving day. It also means we can offer realistic arrival windows and honest advice based on actual experience in Vauxhall.
If you’re upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Vauxhall, we’ll manage the careful removal of your furniture, including large items, garden pieces and garage contents. We can also provide full or part packing to save you time.
Vauxhall renters often face tight moving timelines and strict check-out conditions. We’re used to working with letting agents and concierge staff, protecting communal areas, and ensuring your furniture move is swift and tidy.
Landlords rely on us for fast, efficient furnished property clearances and furniture swaps between properties. We can remove, replace or rearrange furniture on a flexible schedule, including short-notice visits.
From small offices to retail and hospitality, we handle office furniture removals, desk moves, meeting room reconfigurations and relocations. We work to agreed schedules to keep downtime to a minimum.
Students in Vauxhall halls or shared houses often need small moves with a mix of furniture and personal belongings. We offer affordable, organised removals that fit term dates and last-minute course changes.
Our furniture removals service usually covers:
For safety and insurance reasons, we usually cannot move or must assess in advance:
If you’re unsure about a particular item, just ask during your enquiry – we’ll advise clearly what’s possible and what arrangements may be needed.
You contact us with basic details: addresses, access information, list of furniture and preferred dates. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included, any optional extras, and estimated timings.
For anything more than a very small move, we’ll carry out a short survey – either virtual (video call, photos) or onsite. This lets us assess access, parking, staircases, lift sizes and any particularly heavy or awkward pieces. It means we allocate the right team, vehicle and equipment on the day.
On moving day, or beforehand if agreed, our trained team protects your furniture with removal blankets, covers and shrink wrap where appropriate. We can also offer professional packing for smaller items, or simply provide materials if you prefer to pack yourself.
We load your furniture methodically, securing each item to prevent movement during transit. Our vehicles are equipped with straps, blankets and trolleys, and are covered by goods in transit insurance. We then drive directly to your new address or to storage, using sensible routes based on local Vauxhall traffic conditions.
At your destination, we unload carefully, place furniture in the rooms you specify, and reassemble items we’ve dismantled as part of the agreed service. We aim to leave you with a functional, safe layout so you can settle in more quickly.
We price our Vauxhall furniture removals fairly and transparently, based on:
You’ll receive a clear written quotation outlining rates – either fixed-price for defined jobs or an hourly rate for smaller, flexible moves. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs (for example, congestion charges or extended waiting time) are discussed upfront.
It can be tempting to hire a casual van or rope in friends, but furniture removals involve more than simply lifting and driving. With a professional removals service you benefit from:
In many cases, by the time you factor in van hire, fuel, materials and lost time, a proper removals service is more cost-effective and far less stressful than DIY.
Man and Van Vauxhall operates to recognised industry standards and takes responsibility seriously. Our service includes:
We carry out regular vehicle checks, maintain clean equipment, and follow sensible risk assessments on each job. Where access is challenging, we will discuss options and risks clearly with you so there are no surprises.
We treat your furniture as if it were our own, focusing on careful handling and appropriate protection throughout the move. That includes:
We also take a practical approach to sustainability. Wherever possible we reuse durable protective materials, minimise unnecessary journeys, and plan efficient routes across Vauxhall and beyond. When supplying boxes and packing materials, we can advise on re-use and recycling options.
Whether you’re leaving a flat near Vauxhall station or moving into a townhouse nearby, we’ll organise the full removal of your furniture, working alongside your completion times or tenancy dates. If needed, we can coordinate multiple drops – home, storage and charity donation points.
For businesses, we plan office furniture relocations around your trading hours. That might include evening or weekend moves, phased desk relocations, or relocating storage units and archive cabinets between locations.
Emergencies happen – short-notice tenancy changes, relationship breakdowns or urgent landlord requests. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day furniture removals in Vauxhall. We’ll always be honest about what’s realistically achievable in the time available.
Costs depend mainly on the amount of furniture, access at each address and the distance between properties. Smaller flat or student moves are often priced on an hourly basis, while full household or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. To keep pricing fair, we ask clear questions and, where appropriate, carry out a survey so we can give an accurate quote. There are no hidden charges; any extra costs, such as parking or congestion fees, are explained before you book.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Vauxhall, depending on our existing bookings and the size of the job. Smaller furniture moves are usually easier to accommodate at short notice, while larger household removals may require more planning. If you need an urgent service, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details. We’ll let you know our availability straight away and outline realistic options, timings and costs so you can decide how to proceed.
Your furniture is protected by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved in our vehicles, and by public liability cover for work at your properties. This is designed to cover the reasonable risks involved in a professional move. We’ll explain the key terms and any limits in plain language before you confirm your booking. For very high-value or unusual items, we may ask for additional details in advance so we can advise whether extra cover or specialist handling is required.
As standard, our service includes a removals vehicle, a trained team, loading, transport and unloading of your furniture between the agreed addresses. We protect items with blankets and securing straps, and place furniture into the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing services, dismantling and reassembly of certain items, supply of boxes and materials, and additional drops to storage or other locations. Everything that is and isn’t included will be listed clearly in your written quotation before you decide to book.
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport and basic lifting only, often without formal training or insurance. Our service provides trained movers, planned surveys, suitable equipment, and fully insured vehicles. We assess access, protect your furniture and property, and work to agreed timescales. For anything more than a very small move, using a professional removals company greatly reduces the risk of damage, injury or delays, and usually offers far better value when you consider the overall time, stress and potential costs involved.
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed date – for many people this is two to four weeks in advance, especially for weekends or month-end moves. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change, so we try to be as flexible as possible. Even if your date isn’t 100% fixed, it’s worth getting in touch early so we can pencil you in and discuss options. For last-minute moves, contact us and we’ll offer the best available slot.
At Man and Van Vauxhall, we provide specialist piano removals throughout Vauxhall and the surrounding London areas. Moving a piano is very different from moving ordinary furniture – it demands the right equipment, technique and insurance. Our experienced team move upright, baby grand and grand pianos safely every week for homes, schools, venues and businesses.
Our piano removals service is designed specifically for heavy, delicate and high-value instruments. We use piano skates, padded covers, stair climbers and secure fixing systems to protect both the piano and the property.
Whether you are moving a family upright from a flat, a concert piano between performance venues, or re-siting a piano within the same building, our professional team handles the entire process carefully and efficiently.
Working daily in Vauxhall and across central and south-west London means we understand:
This local knowledge allows us to plan your piano move precisely, minimising disruption and avoiding delays. We liaise with building management where needed and arrange suitable access and loading points in advance.
If you own a piano and are moving home, extending, or simply changing room layouts, we can relocate your instrument safely, coordinating with your main household removal if required.
For tenants in flats and rented houses, we handle pianos carefully to avoid damage to walls, floors and staircases – protecting your deposit and keeping landlords satisfied.
We assist landlords and agents when a piano needs removing from or repositioning within a rental property, offering fully insured moves and clear documentation for your records.
We regularly move pianos for schools, churches, rehearsal studios, hotels, theatres and event venues, including evening or early morning moves to avoid disruption.
For music students moving into or out of halls or shared accommodation, we provide cost-effective piano relocations and can combine piano transport with a small student move if needed.
As part of this dedicated piano service, we generally exclude:
If you need additional items moved alongside your piano, we can combine services or provide a tailored quote – just mention this during your enquiry.
Contact us by phone or online with the piano type, current location, destination and access details. We will ask about stairs, lifts, tight turns and parking. Using this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with no hidden extras.
For most piano moves, especially those involving stairs or larger instruments, we carry out a short video survey or, where necessary, an onsite visit. This lets us confirm measurements, access routes and any challenges so we can send the right team, equipment and vehicle.
On the day, our trained movers protect your piano using padded covers, blankets, straps and corner protection. For grand pianos we may remove legs and pedals and crate or wrap them separately. Floors, bannisters and door frames are protected as required.
The team carefully manoeuvres the piano using piano skates, dollies and, where suitable, stair-climbing equipment. It is then secured in our vehicle using straps and blocks to prevent any movement during transit. Our vehicles are purpose-equipped and fully maintained.
At the new location, we unload the piano, reassemble if needed, and position it where you want it within reasonable scope. We will check that the instrument is level and stable and remove all packing materials. We recommend allowing time for the piano to acclimatise before tuning.
Our pricing is clear and straightforward, based on:
We provide fixed, written quotes wherever possible so you know exactly what you will pay. There are no surprise charges for standard stairs or normal waiting times – any potential extras are explained upfront. For simple ground-floor to ground-floor moves in Vauxhall, we can often give a firm quote immediately.
Pianos are heavy, awkward and fragile. Attempting a DIY move with friends or a casual man-and-van can lead to serious injury, damage to the instrument, and harm to the property.
By choosing a professional piano removal service you benefit from:
In many cases, professional removal is more cost-effective than repairing damage or replacing a damaged piano.
Man and Van Vauxhall operates to high professional standards to protect both you and your instrument:
We are happy to provide proof of insurance and any documentation needed by building management or venue operators.
We treat every piano with the same care as if it were our own. That means thorough protection of the instrument and the property, calm and steady handling, and clear communication throughout.
Our sustainability approach includes:
We balance practicality with a genuine effort to minimise environmental impact while maintaining high protection standards.
We frequently work alongside full-house removal teams, either as your dedicated piano movers or as part of a combined service. Your piano can be moved on the same day as your household goods or in a separate, carefully timed trip.
From hotel function rooms to school halls and churches, we relocate pianos between venues or within the same building. Early morning or out-of-hours slots are available to minimise disruption to your staff, pupils or guests.
Sometimes a piano needs to be moved quickly – end of tenancy, property sale, or last-minute event changes. Subject to availability, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day piano removals in and around Vauxhall.
The cost depends mainly on the type of piano, access at each property and the distance travelled. A straightforward upright piano move between ground-floor locations in Vauxhall will usually be at the lower end of our pricing, while larger or more complex moves involving stairs and longer distances cost more. We always provide a clear, fixed quote before you book, based on accurate information or a short survey. There are no hidden extras for standard work, and any potential additional charges are explained in advance.
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day piano removals in Vauxhall and nearby areas. Urgent bookings are subject to crew and vehicle availability, as well as access and parking constraints at each address. If you require a rapid move, it helps if you have key details ready – piano type, addresses, floors, stairs and any time restrictions. We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable and will only accept the job if we can complete it safely and properly.
Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our care, and we also carry public liability cover for work at both properties. This insurance is designed to provide protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage or incident during the move. We handle instruments carefully to prevent issues occurring in the first place, but we understand the value – financial and sentimental – of pianos. Policy details and confirmation can be supplied on request for your peace of mind.
Our standard service includes all labour, protective materials and equipment needed to move your piano from its current position to its new location, plus transport between addresses. We protect the instrument, secure it properly in the vehicle, and position it in your chosen room at the destination, within reasonable access limits. Basic disassembly and reassembly of grand pianos, such as removing and refitting legs and pedals, are included where required. Tuning, storage and moving large quantities of other items are not included but can be arranged separately.
A general man-and-van service often lacks the specialist equipment, training and insurance needed for safe piano transport. Pianos are extremely heavy yet fragile, and mishandling can cause costly internal damage that is not immediately visible. Our piano removals team uses specific techniques, protective materials and handling equipment designed for pianos, and we move them regularly, not occasionally. We also provide documented quotes, scheduling, and suitable insurance, giving you far greater protection and peace of mind than a casual transport service.
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly if you need a specific date or time slot, such as a weekend or evening. This gives us time to carry out any necessary survey and coordinate access and parking. However, we understand that situations change quickly, especially around house completions and tenancies, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. The more notice you provide, the more flexibility we can offer with timing and pricing.
Moving home in or around Vauxhall? Man and Van Vauxhall provides a reliable, well-organised house removals service tailored to local homes, streets, and buildings. With years of hands-on experience in London moves, we handle everything from small flats to large family houses with care, efficiency and clear communication.
Our house removals service is designed to take the pressure off your move. We supply the vehicle, equipment, and a trained team to safely move your belongings from A to B, whether you are moving two streets away in Vauxhall or across London.
We regularly work with:
Every move is planned around your access, parking, building rules and time constraints so that moving day runs smoothly.
Working in Vauxhall day in, day out means we understand the local challenges: red routes, busy junctions, limited parking bays and flats with awkward stairwells or small lifts.
Our local knowledge helps us:
That local experience, combined with a professional approach, keeps your move on time and reduces avoidable stress.
Whether you are moving out of a period terrace, a modern townhouse or a family home, we handle full household moves, including furniture dismantling and reassembly where required. We can coordinate closely with your completion times and keys handover.
For tenants, timing and condition are key. We help you leave the property in good order by protecting walls, doors and communal areas during the move, and we can carry out smaller, flexible moves that suit end-of-tenancy deadlines.
We support landlords with tenant changeovers, part-furnished moves, and removals of unwanted furniture. Our team works quickly and respectfully in shared buildings, and we can coordinate access with agents or building managers.
If you are relocating staff accommodation or small office setups, our house removals service adapts to your needs. We can move desks, chairs, IT equipment and boxed files, planning moves outside working hours where required.
Students moving into or out of Vauxhall benefit from our smaller, budget-friendly moves. We can handle a mix of boxes, suitcases, bikes, and a few pieces of furniture, working to term dates and tight schedules.
Our team is equipped to move most typical household items safely, including:
For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or require prior agreement:
If you are unsure about any specific item, just ask during the quote or survey and we will clarify how it can be moved safely.
Contact us by phone, email or online form with a brief outline of your move: current address, new address, property size, dates and any key access details. We will provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us, and explain what is included so there are no surprises.
For larger moves or more complex properties, we recommend a short survey. This can be carried out via video call or an onsite visit. We assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and the volume of items. This allows us to send the right size team and vehicle, and to plan for any challenges in advance.
You can choose between:
We can also dismantle beds, wardrobes and other furniture as agreed.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and starts loading. We use protective blankets, straps and trolleys to safeguard your belongings and the property. Items are loaded securely into our clean, well-maintained vehicles for safe transport to your new home.
At the new address, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. We can reassemble previously dismantled furniture and position key items so you can settle in more quickly. Before we leave, we check that everything on the inventory has been offloaded and placed as requested.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
We will explain exactly what is included in your quote and any circumstances where additional charges might apply (for example, significant delays beyond our control or extra items not listed originally). There are no hidden fees; everything is agreed in advance.
Using a professional removals team offers several advantages over DIY or a casual man-and-van:
While DIY may seem cheaper at first glance, the time, effort and potential damage or injury often outweigh any savings. A structured, insured removals service provides better value overall.
Man and Van Vauxhall operates to clear, professional standards, giving you peace of mind on moving day.
Details of cover, limits and exclusions are available on request, and we are happy to talk you through how protection applies to your specific move.
We treat every move as if we were handling our own belongings. That means careful planning and the right protection:
We also aim to work in a more sustainable way by:
Our goal is a smooth move with minimal waste and disruption.
Many of our clients are moving between flats or houses within Vauxhall or nearby areas. We plan around local traffic patterns and building access rules, making the move as straightforward as possible, even when you are only moving a short distance.
We assist small businesses and organisations with relocating staff accommodation or compact offices. This can include moving desks, chairs, IT equipment and personal items to new locations with minimal downtime.
Sometimes moves cannot wait. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice house removals around Vauxhall. We prioritise clear communication about availability and realistic timeframes, so you know exactly what can be achieved.
The cost depends on the size of your property, volume of belongings, access at both addresses, distance travelled and any extra services such as packing. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger house moves are usually a fixed quote. Once we know the details of your move, we will provide a clear written estimate outlining what is included, any potential additional costs, and how long we expect the job to take.
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Vauxhall, depending on existing bookings and team availability. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with your addresses, rough inventory and preferred times. We will let you know what is realistically achievable and provide a clear price before you commit. For very last-minute moves, flexibility on timing and scope of service helps us fit you in safely and efficiently.
We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, as well as public liability cover for our operations. Like all insurance, this is subject to certain terms, limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain before you book. We always encourage customers to inform us of any particularly high-value items so we can advise on the best way to protect them during the move.
Our standard service includes supplying the vehicle, a trained removals team, protective equipment, loading at your current address, safe transport and unloading at your new home. We place items in the rooms you request and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture if agreed in advance. Optional extras include full or part packing services, supply of packing materials and additional labour for large or complex moves. Everything included will be clearly listed on your quote.
A casual man-and-van service often focuses simply on transport, with limited planning, protection or cover. Our professional removals service provides structured planning, trained staff, insurance, proper equipment and clear terms and conditions. We carry out surveys where needed, advise on access and parking, and take responsibility for protecting your belongings and property. This organised approach significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs on moving day.
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your move at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving at month-end or on a weekend. That said, we understand that completion dates and rental agreements can change at short notice in London. If your plans are uncertain, we can discuss provisional dates and try to build some flexibility into the booking where possible.
At Man and Van Vauxhall, our man with van Vauxhall service is designed for anyone who wants a reliable, well-organised move without the cost and complexity of a large removals crew. You get an experienced local driver–porter, a clean and well-maintained van, and the option to add extra movers when needed.
Our service bridges the gap between casual "friend with a van" moves and a full-scale removals crew. You get a professional, fully insured moving service that’s flexible enough to handle anything from a single item to a small flat or office.
You choose the level of help you need – from simple collection and delivery to a full load–transport–unload service with packing support.
We’re based in Vauxhall and know the area extremely well – from riverside developments and new-build flats to older mansion blocks and council estates. That local knowledge matters when it comes to:
We regularly move customers to and from nearby areas including Nine Elms, Kennington, Stockwell, Oval, Battersea and across Central London.
Ideal if you’re moving from a smaller property, downsizing, or shifting just a portion of your belongings. We can handle fragile items, wardrobes, white goods and more, giving you a smooth move without organising a large lorry and crew.
Perfect for flat moves, room-to-room moves in shared houses, and end-of-tenancy relocations. We work carefully around communal areas, lifts and stairwells to protect both your belongings and the property.
We assist landlords with quick furniture swaps, part-furnished setups, and end-of-tenancy clearances. Our team works efficiently and respectfully, keeping disruption to neighbours and other tenants to a minimum.
Small offices, shops and studios use our service for light relocations, equipment moves and archive transport. We can operate out of hours to reduce downtime and keep your business running smoothly.
Students moving in or out of Vauxhall benefit from straightforward pricing and practical help with boxes, suitcases, bikes, and basic furniture. We understand that dates can change, and we’ll work with you where possible.
If you’re unsure about an item, mention it when you enquire and we’ll confirm whether we can move it safely and legally.
You contact us by phone, email or online form with details of what you need moved, where from and to, and your preferred date and time. We’ll ask a few quick questions about access, floors, lifts and parking. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
For anything more than a couple of items, we usually recommend a quick video call survey or photo-based survey. For more complex moves, we can arrange an onsite visit in Vauxhall and nearby areas. This helps us allocate the right size van, number of movers and equipment.
You can pack your belongings yourself or ask us to supply boxes and materials. For an additional fee, we can provide professional packing for fragile or high-value items. On the day, we protect furniture with blankets and covers, and secure items in the van for safe transport.
Our trained team arrives on time, introduces themselves and walks through the job with you. We load in a logical order, starting with heavier items, using trolleys and lifting equipment where needed. Your goods are then transported directly to the destination, avoiding unnecessary stops.
On arrival, we unload carefully and place items in the rooms you request. We’ll position larger items such as beds or wardrobes where you want them, and check you’re happy before we leave. If we’ve agreed to remove used packing materials, we’ll do this before we finish.
We price most man with van jobs on an hourly rate with a sensible minimum charge, so you only pay for the time you actually need. For simple, well-defined jobs, we can offer a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Our quotes take into account:
All costs are explained clearly in advance. We do not add hidden charges for fuel or standard congestion unless it’s specified from the start.
Hiring a professional man with van in Vauxhall means more than just getting a vehicle. You benefit from:
In contrast, DIY or casual man-and-van arrangements often lack insurance, proper protection, and accountability if something goes wrong.
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to clear, professional standards. Every move includes:
We can provide evidence of insurance and terms of cover on request. For particularly valuable items, we’ll discuss appropriate handling and documentation before the move.
We treat every move as if it were our own belongings. Furniture is wrapped in padded blankets, mattresses are covered, and items are secured inside the van to prevent movement. We pay attention to walls, doorframes and floors in both properties.
Where possible, we use reusable protective materials and durable plastic crates to reduce waste. Cardboard and packing materials are recycled whenever we can, and we plan routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions.
Our man with van service is ideal for studio and small flat moves in Vauxhall. We’ll move your furniture, boxes and appliances in one or more trips, depending on volume, and coordinate carefully with your key collection time and building access.
For small businesses, we can move desks, chairs, stock and IT equipment with minimal downtime. We’re used to working in shared office buildings and can plan around your trading hours.
Sometimes plans change at short notice – a tenancy ending sooner than expected, a last-minute purchase, or a courier that falls through. Subject to availability, we can often provide same-day or short-notice man with van support in Vauxhall and nearby areas.
Costs depend mainly on how long the job takes, how many movers you need, and the distance between addresses. Most local moves are priced on an hourly rate with a minimum charge to cover travel and setup time. For straightforward jobs where we know exactly what’s involved, we can offer a fixed price. To keep costs down, have your items packed and ready, reserve parking where possible, and give us accurate information about access and stairs so we can plan efficiently.
Yes, we often can, especially within Vauxhall and the surrounding areas. Same-day or urgent bookings depend on van and crew availability, so it’s always best to call us as early as possible. If we can help, we’ll give you a clear time window and price before confirming the booking. For very urgent jobs, keeping the inventory simple and access clear helps us start quickly. When we’re fully booked, we’ll be honest and may offer the next available slot.
Yes. Our man with van service includes goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being transported, and public liability cover for accidental damage to property. There are sensible limits and exclusions, which we’re happy to explain before you book. For particularly valuable or delicate items, we may suggest extra packing, special handling or, in some cases, additional cover. If you have existing home or business insurance, it’s also worth checking whether it provides any extra protection during moves.
Our standard service includes a professional driver–porter, a suitable van, loading, secure transport and unloading at your new address. We provide blankets, straps and basic tools for simple disassembly such as removing legs from tables or doors from appliances where needed. You can request an extra porter if there are stairs or heavier items. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, and furniture assembly. We’ll agree everything in writing, so you know exactly what is and isn’t included before moving day.
A professional service like ours offers trained staff, insurance, proper equipment and clear terms of service. We use appropriate vehicles, protect your belongings and properties, and plan jobs carefully. Casual man-and-van options may be cheaper upfront, but they often lack insurance, written agreements and accountability if something is damaged or delayed. With us, you know who is turning up, when they’ll arrive, and how your goods will be handled. For most people, that peace of mind more than justifies the difference in cost.
For weekends and month-end dates, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance, as these are our busiest periods in Vauxhall. For weekday moves or smaller jobs, a few days’ notice is often enough, though more time gives us greater flexibility. If your dates are still uncertain, we can pencil in a provisional slot and confirm once you know more. We’ll always try to accommodate last-minute requests, but advance booking gives you the best choice of times and keeps everything more relaxed.
Moving as a student can be stressful, especially when you are balancing exams, tight budgets and fixed tenancy dates. At Man and Van Vauxhall, we provide straightforward, affordable student removals across Vauxhall and the surrounding areas, designed around the way students actually move – lighter loads, shared accommodation, and often short notice.
We specialise in small to medium moves, ideal for students moving between halls, shared houses, studios and flats around Vauxhall, central London and beyond. Our team is fully used to narrow staircases, restricted access and student accommodation rules, so we plan every job carefully to avoid delays and damage.
Every move is handled by a trained, uniformed crew using professional equipment, and your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance for peace of mind.
Although this service is tailored to students, we regularly support:
Whether you are moving a single room of belongings or a small flat, we scale the service to match your load and budget.
Typical student moves include:
We can provide packing and furniture assembly as optional extras if you want a more complete service and have limited time around exams or travel.
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, our student removals do not include:
If you are unsure about an item, let us know during the enquiry and we will advise on the best approach.
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your move date, addresses, and a rough list of what you are moving. We ask a few clear questions, taking into account stairs, lifts, parking and time restrictions at halls or blocks. Based on this, we provide a straightforward, no-obligation quote with all expected costs explained.
For most student moves, a quick virtual survey using photos or video call is sufficient. This helps us confirm vehicle size, number of movers required and any special handling items such as large screens or musical instruments. For larger or more complex moves, we can arrange an onsite survey in Vauxhall and nearby areas at a convenient time.
You can choose between:
We use quality boxes, bubble wrap and furniture covers to keep your belongings safe and organised.
On move day, our professional team arrives on time, protects floors and communal areas where required, and carefully loads your items. We secure everything in the van using straps and blankets to prevent movement in transit. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance, and we choose sensible routes to avoid unnecessary delays and jolts.
At your new address, we unload to the rooms you choose, not just to the doorway. We can reassemble basic furniture and position desks, beds and shelving so you can settle quickly. Before we leave, we do a quick walk-through with you to ensure everything is in the right place and nothing has been missed.
We know students and parents need to work to a clear budget. Our pricing is designed to be fair and transparent, with no hidden extras. Costs are usually based on:
You will always receive a written quote before booking, outlining exactly what is included. Where possible, we offer fixed-price moves so you know the total before move day.
Hiring a casual van or relying on friends might seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, delays and added stress. With Man and Van Vauxhall you benefit from:
In many cases, by the time you add van hire, fuel, materials and your own time, a professional student removal works out better value.
As an established removals company in Vauxhall, we operate to clear professional standards:
Details of cover levels can be provided on request, and we are happy to explain how they apply to your specific move.
We treat student belongings with the same care as a full family home move. That means:
We also aim to work sustainably by reusing strong cartons where appropriate, recycling packaging and planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage.
Based in Vauxhall, we know the local roads, parking rules and accommodation layouts very well. We regularly serve student halls and shared houses around Vauxhall, Kennington, Nine Elms and central London. This local knowledge helps us plan realistic arrival times, secure parking permits where needed and liaise smoothly with building management or concierge teams.
Pricing depends mainly on how much you are moving, the distance involved and whether you need packing or assembly. For many student moves within Vauxhall or nearby areas, we can offer a fixed price based on a description or quick virtual survey. Smaller moves might be charged by the hour with a minimum booking period. We always provide a clear written quote before you commit, explaining what is included so you can budget accurately and avoid surprise costs on the day.
Yes, subject to availability. We understand that student accommodation dates, exam schedules and last-minute tenancy changes can create urgent moving needs. If you need a same-day or next-day move, contact us as early as possible with your locations and item list. We will check our schedule and vehicle availability and give you an honest answer. When we can help, we will confirm arrival windows, pricing and any restrictions up front so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles and under our care, and we also hold public liability cover. This provides protection if something goes wrong despite our best efforts. We still handle everything as if it were uninsured, using professional packing and loading methods to prevent damage in the first place. If you have particularly high-value or specialist items, let us know in advance so we can advise on any additional precautions or documentation.
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, professional movers, loading, safe transport and unloading to your chosen rooms. We protect furniture and fragile items with blankets and covers as standard. Optional extras include packing materials, part or full packing, furniture assembly and short-term storage. During your enquiry we will clarify exactly what you need and list this in your quote, so you can see clearly what is and is not included and choose the level of support that suits your time and budget.
A casual man-and-van may simply provide transport, leaving you to manage packing, lifting, protection and any issues that arise. Our service is a structured, fully insured removal operated by trained staff. We plan access, bring the right equipment, protect your belongings and shared spaces, and take responsibility for safe handling door to door. You receive a written quote, terms and insurance cover. For students with valuable tech, tight schedules or long journeys, this level of professionalism usually offers far better reliability and peace of mind.
For peak student periods – especially late summer and end-of-term dates – we recommend booking two to four weeks in advance to secure your preferred slot. Outside busy times, a week is often enough, and we can sometimes accommodate shorter notice. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we have with timing and pricing. Even if your exact date is not confirmed, it is worth getting in touch so we can discuss options and pencil in provisional arrangements around your likely schedule.
When you need to move today, you need a removals team that can respond quickly, stay calm under pressure and still handle your belongings with care. Man and Van Vauxhall provides reliable, same day removals across Vauxhall and surrounding areas, carried out by experienced, professional and fully insured movers.
Our same day service is designed for urgent, time-sensitive moves where waiting simply is not an option. Whether your completion date has moved forward, your landlord needs the property back, or another mover has let you down, we can usually step in with short notice.
We operate modern, well-maintained vans, use quality moving equipment, and follow the same standards on an urgent move as we do on a planned one. The only difference is how quickly we get you booked, loaded and on the road.
Working in Vauxhall every day means we understand the realities of moving here: busy streets, controlled parking zones, loading restrictions and tight stairwells. We factor all of this into your same day move so there are no surprises on the day.
Our local knowledge helps us to:
If your completion date has changed at the last minute or a previous mover has cancelled, we can provide swift, professional same day removals in Vauxhall to keep your chain moving and protect your timeline.
End of tenancy dates can be rigid, and delays are stressful. We help renters move out quickly and cleanly, reducing the risk of extra charges or lost deposits.
For urgent clearances, tenant changes or short-notice move-outs, we offer responsive support so you can get properties turned around efficiently and ready for new occupants.
From small offices to shop units, we manage urgent relocations, light commercial moves and short-notice equipment transfers with minimal disruption to your operations.
Students often face fixed halls move-out dates or last-minute room changes. Our affordable same day service keeps things straightforward when time is tight and budgets are limited.
Our same day moves can be tailored to your requirements and time constraints. Common elements include:
Typical items we move include:
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our same day removals service:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise before you book.
Call us or send an online enquiry explaining that you need a same day move. We will confirm availability, ask a few key questions about your addresses, access and volume, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote. Where time allows, we send this in writing for your records.
For most same day moves we complete a rapid survey by phone, photos or video call. This lets us estimate the volume, choose the right sized vehicle, and decide how many movers you need. For larger or more complex moves, an onsite survey may be arranged if time permits.
You can pack your own items in advance, or where possible we can include packing services as part of your same day booking. We recommend that valuables, documents and essentials are kept separate so you can access them immediately at your new address.
Our trained team will protect your belongings using blankets, straps and appropriate handling techniques. Items are loaded methodically to prevent movement in transit. We then transport directly to your new property in Vauxhall or to your next destination, with regular updates if needed.
On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing larger furniture where you want it so you can start settling in straight away. We work efficiently but carefully, keeping an eye on walls, floors and doorways to avoid damage to either property.
Same day moves are usually charged on a time and vehicle basis, with clear rates agreed upfront. The price depends on:
We will always explain how your quote is calculated so you understand what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges (such as congestion or parking fees) are discussed in advance wherever possible.
When time is short, attempting a DIY move can quickly become overwhelming. Using a professional same day removals service means:
Informal, casual man-and-van operators may seem cheaper, but they often lack formal training, proper insurance and consistent standards. Our service combines flexibility with the reassurance of a professional removals company.
Man and Van Vauxhall operates with full and appropriate cover for your peace of mind:
We are transparent about what is covered and will explain any limitations in plain language so you can make informed decisions.
Even under time pressure, we never cut corners on care. We protect your belongings with moving blankets, shrink wrap where appropriate, and secure strapping inside the van. We also take care to protect floors, bannisters and doors as we move through your property.
We are committed to reducing waste where we can. Reusable protective materials are used wherever possible, and we plan routes sensibly to minimise unnecessary mileage. Where clients request clearance or disposal, we aim to use licensed recycling or reuse channels rather than landfill.
Completion dates and notice periods do not always line up. We regularly support homeowners and renters in Vauxhall who discover they must be out sooner than expected, coordinating swiftly with agents, landlords and building managers.
Leaks, faults or lease issues can force businesses to relocate quickly. We move essential furniture, equipment and stock so you can resume trading with minimal downtime, often outside working hours where needed.
From halls to house shares or back home for the holidays, students often need fast, simple moves with modest volumes. Our flexible same day service is ideal for this, keeping costs sensible while still offering a professional level of care.
Costs vary depending on how much you are moving, how many movers are required and the distance between properties. For smaller, local moves we often work on an hourly rate, while larger moves may be quoted as a fixed price. Factors such as stairs, parking access and the need for packing or dismantling can also affect the final cost. We will give you a clear, itemised quote before you commit, so you know exactly what is included and can compare options fairly.
We do our best to accommodate same day requests, and often can, but availability depends on our existing bookings and the size of the move. Smaller flat or student moves are easier to slot in at short notice than large house or office relocations. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better chance we have of arranging the right vehicle and team. Even if we are fully booked, we will always be honest about what is possible and suggest practical alternatives where we can.
Yes. Our same day removals are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance, subject to policy terms and stated limits, and we also hold public liability cover. This means your items are protected while in our care and in the vehicle, provided they fall within our usual conditions. We will explain the main points when you book, including any exclusions for certain high value or fragile items, so you can decide if you need any additional cover of your own.
Our service typically includes the van, fuel, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading to your new address. We bring protective blankets and securing straps as standard. Packing, dismantling and reassembly can often be added, subject to time and availability, and will be clearly shown on your quote. Parking costs, congestion or clean air zone charges, if applicable, are either included in the price or discussed in advance so you are not surprised later.
While the term “man and van” is widely used, our approach is closer to a structured removals service. We provide experienced, trained teams, appropriate insurance and proper planning, even for urgent moves. Casual operators may not carry full insurance, may work alone and may not use suitable equipment, which can increase the risk of damage or delays. With Man and Van Vauxhall you get the flexibility of a man-and-van style service combined with the standards and accountability of a professional removals company.
For genuine emergencies you may only have a few hours’ notice, and we will always try to help. However, as soon as you know you will need to move today, contact us straight away. Early contact gives us more chance to allocate the right vehicle, arrange parking if needed and plan routes, which can ultimately save you time and money. For planned urgent moves, booking one or two days ahead will usually secure the best availability and most options.
At Man and Van Vauxhall, our man and a van service is designed for people who want a reliable, professional move without the cost and complexity of a large removal lorry. You get a trained local driver–porter, a clean and well-equipped van, and the same care and planning you would expect from a full removals crew – just scaled to your needs.
Our service is built around flexibility and care. Whether you are moving a single item or a small flat, we provide:
Based in Vauxhall, we move people in and out of the area every day. We know the one-way systems, loading restrictions, bus lanes and peak traffic patterns that can easily catch you out if you are hiring a van yourself.
We regularly work around:
That local knowledge allows us to plan realistic timings, arrange parking sensibly and avoid unnecessary delays or penalties.
Ideal for smaller house moves, part-loads, or when you are taking selected items into storage. We move white goods, wardrobes, sofas, garden tools and more, with floor and doorway protection where required.
Perfect for studio and one- to two-bedroom flats in and around Vauxhall. We are used to lifts, narrow staircases and residents’ rules, and we plan accordingly so you can hand back the keys on time.
We help landlords with quick turnarounds: clearing furniture between tenancies, delivering new beds and mattresses, or removing old items prior to refurbishments. Flexible appointments, including evenings and weekends, are available.
Small offices, shops and working-from-home setups often do not need a full removal crew. Our man and a van option is ideal for moving desks, IT equipment, stock and files with minimal disruption to trading hours.
Students moving to or from Vauxhall and nearby universities benefit from simple, affordable transport for boxes, suitcases and a few bits of furniture. We can combine trips with friends to keep costs down, as long as everything is clearly labelled.
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, just ask when you enquire. We can usually advise a safe way forward, or recommend a specialist where needed.
You contact us with basic details: addresses, access (stairs, lift, parking), a list of key items, and your preferred date and time. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually based on a fixed price for the job or an hourly rate with a minimum booking period.
For anything more than a simple single-item move, we carry out a quick survey. This is usually virtual (photos or video call) but we can visit in person for more complex jobs. The survey ensures we send the right size van, the right number of movers and an accurate price.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can supply materials in advance. For some moves we offer a packing service, where our team packs fragile items professionally. On the day, we protect key furniture with blankets and covers, and we may remove table legs or bed frames where needed.
Our trained team loads the van carefully, using blankets, straps and proper lifting techniques. Items are positioned to minimise movement during transit. We follow an agreed route and timing, staying in touch if there are any unexpected delays.
At your destination, we unload into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any agreed items and place furniture where you want it, time permitting. Before we leave, we invite you to walk around and check that everything has arrived in good order.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. For our Vauxhall man and a van service, we typically offer:
Your quote will set out what is included: number of movers, estimated duration, travel time, and any extra services such as packing. There are no hidden call-out fees or weekend surcharges; if extra time is needed because the inventory changes or access is not as described, we agree any additional cost with you before continuing.
Hiring a van yourself or using a casual operator may seem cheaper, but it often costs more in damage, delays and stress. With Man and Van Vauxhall you get:
We see, time and again, the aftermath of poorly planned DIY moves: scratched walls, broken furniture and last-minute panics when access or parking turns out to be more complicated than expected. A professional service significantly reduces those risks.
As a responsible removals company, we operate to recognised industry standards for safety and care.
Policy details are available on request, and we are happy to explain exactly what is and is not covered so you can make an informed decision.
We treat every move as if it were our own belongings in the van. That means:
We also take a practical approach to sustainability:
For smaller homes and flats in Vauxhall, our man and a van service is often the most practical choice. Tight streets, limited parking and lift access can all make a full-size lorry unnecessary. We can also handle part-moves to storage or between properties during renovation.
Many businesses use us to move teams or departments gradually, rather than shutting everything down for a large, single-day move. We can transport desks, chairs and equipment outside normal working hours, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Things do not always go to plan – chain delays, tenancy issues or last-minute completions can all create urgent moving needs. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day man and a van support in Vauxhall and the surrounding areas.
Pricing depends mainly on the size of the job, the distance between addresses and the number of movers required. For local moves within Vauxhall, we usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, or a fixed price for clearly defined jobs such as a studio or one-bedroom flat. Your quote will explain exactly what is included, and we are happy to talk through options to match your budget and timescale. There are no hidden charges; any potential extras are discussed in advance.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in and around Vauxhall, especially for smaller jobs. Our ability to do this depends on existing bookings, traffic and access, so it is always best to call as early as possible. If we can fit you in, we will; if not, we will be honest and may suggest alternative times. Even for urgent work, we still ask key questions about access and inventory so we send the right vehicle and team.
Yes. Our vans are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are in our care, subject to policy limits and exclusions. We also carry public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property during the move. We always encourage customers to tell us about particularly high-value or fragile items in advance, so we can confirm cover and plan packing and loading accordingly. Full details of our insurance arrangements are available on request before you book.
Our service includes a vehicle of suitable size, a professional driver–porter (and extra movers if agreed), loading and unloading, protective blankets and securing straps, and transport from your old address to your new one. We place items into the rooms you specify, and we can help with basic dismantling and reassembly where this has been discussed in advance. Packing, materials and waste disposal are optional extras. Your written quote will clearly state what is included so there are no surprises on the day.
Many casual operators offer a simple transport-only service with limited protection or accountability. We operate as an established removals company, with trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper equipment and a structured process from quote to completion. We plan access, parking and timings, and we provide written confirmations and receipts. In practice, this means fewer breakages, less stress and a more predictable moving day. For most people, that reliability is worth far more than the small difference in headline price.
For moves at the end of the month, Fridays or during peak summer periods, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure the exact time you want. For smaller or midweek moves, we can often accommodate you with only a few days’ notice, and sometimes even same-day. The more notice we have, the easier it is to plan parking, access and any additional services such as packing. However, if your plans change suddenly, do still get in touch – we will help if we can.
Moving in and out of flats in Vauxhall brings its own challenges – stairs, lifts, tight hallways, parking restrictions and time slots. At Man and Van Vauxhall we provide a dedicated flat removals service designed exactly for this type of move, carried out by a professional, experienced and fully insured local team.
Our flat removals service is tailored to Vauxhall’s mix of period conversions, purpose‑built blocks and new developments. We are used to working with building management, concierge teams and loading bays, and we plan every move around access, lift use and parking restrictions to keep your day as smooth and stress‑free as possible.
Whether you are moving a studio on the top floor or a large multi‑bedroom apartment, we provide the correct van size, the right number of porters and all the protection materials needed to keep both your belongings and the building in good condition.
If you are selling or buying a flat in Vauxhall, we coordinate closely with your completion time, lift bookings and key collection. Our trained team handle bulky furniture, white goods and fragile items with care, so your new home is set up quickly and safely on move‑in day.
For tenants moving between rented flats, timing and condition are crucial. We protect floors, walls and doors, helping you leave the property in good order for your check‑out and inventory. We can also offer flexible short‑notice moves and evening or weekend slots where available.
We assist landlords and agents in Vauxhall with quick, efficient flat clearances, part‑moves between properties, and moving in or out landlord‑owned furniture. Our team is used to key‑collection procedures and can work to tight turnaround times between tenancies.
Many small businesses operate from flats and apartments. We move office furniture, files, IT equipment and stock between residential addresses or from home offices into commercial premises. We plan our work to minimise disruption so you can keep trading with minimal downtime.
Students in and around Vauxhall benefit from our budget‑friendly small flat removals service. We move personal belongings, books, clothing, small furniture and tech safely between halls, flat‑shares and home addresses, with options for shared loads to keep costs down.
For safety, insurance and legal reasons some items are excluded from our flat removals service:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise before move day.
Contact Man and Van Vauxhall by phone or online with your move details. We ask about both addresses, flat floor level, lift access, parking, approximate inventory and preferred dates. Based on this, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quotation explaining what is included, any optional extras and the estimated time required.
For larger or more complex flat moves we recommend a short video call or onsite survey. This allows us to see access, lift sizes, stairwells and any tight corners, and to confirm van size and staffing. The survey helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures the quote accurately reflects the work involved.
You can pack your own belongings or use our professional packing service. We supply quality boxes, tape and protective materials. On move day we disassemble basic furniture where necessary (such as bed frames) and protect items with blankets, covers and shrink‑wrap. Floors, bannisters and doors are protected as required, especially in communal areas.
Our trained removals team loads your belongings methodically, securing furniture and boxes to minimise movement in transit. We work carefully in shared corridors and lifts, respecting neighbours and building rules. Your goods are transported in clean, well‑maintained vehicles, covered by our goods in transit insurance to an agreed schedule.
At your new flat we unload items to the rooms you specify, reassemble basic furniture and place heavy items where you want them. We work with any lift bookings or time restrictions agreed with the building. Before leaving, we check that everything on the inventory is delivered and positioned to your satisfaction.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing for all Vauxhall flat removals. Costs are based on:
Smaller flat moves may be priced at an hourly rate with a minimum charge; larger moves are usually quoted at a fixed price for the full job. All charges, including any potential waiting time, congestion or parking costs, are explained up front so you know exactly what to expect.
Moving flats might appear straightforward, but tight stairwells, heavy furniture and building rules make it demanding. A professional removals company offers:
Using professionals means you are less likely to face breakages, disputes with neighbours or building managers, or unexpected extra costs on the day.
Man and Van Vauxhall operates to recognised industry standards for removals and transport. Your flat move is covered by:
We carry out regular vehicle checks, use appropriate moving equipment and follow safe lifting and handling practices. Our staff are briefed on building rules and conduct, so we represent you professionally in front of neighbours, concierge teams and landlords.
Your belongings and your building are treated with care from start to finish. We use padded covers, furniture blankets, straps and trolleys to protect items and reduce manual strain. Where possible we reuse and recycle cardboard boxes and packing materials, and we plan routes efficiently to limit unnecessary mileage and emissions.
Unwanted items in good condition can often be directed towards reuse or recycling rather than landfill. Let us know in advance if you have furniture or appliances you no longer need, and we will advise on the most responsible options.
In Vauxhall developments it is common to move between units or floors. We coordinate with building management to secure lift access, use protective coverings and complete the move with minimal disruption to other residents.
For buyers moving into new‑build blocks, we work within handover schedules, loading bay bookings and snagging visits. Our careful handling helps keep new flooring and walls in pristine condition, avoiding costly repairs.
Sometimes moves cannot wait – last‑minute tenancy changes, relationship breakdowns or urgent relocations. Subject to availability, we offer same‑day or next‑day flat removals in and around Vauxhall, with a focus on safe, calm execution even when time is tight.
The cost of a flat removal in Vauxhall depends on the volume of items, access at each property, distance between addresses and any extra services you choose, such as packing or furniture assembly. Small studio or one‑bedroom moves may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum time, while larger apartments are usually quoted at a fixed price. Once we have your details, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras, explaining exactly what is included and any potential additional charges, such as parking or congestion fees.
We can often accommodate same‑day or short‑notice flat removals in Vauxhall, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Urgent moves work best when you can give us as much information as possible upfront, including access details, rough inventory and time constraints. If we are fully booked, we may still be able to offer partial help, such as moving the essentials or providing an evening slot. Contact us as soon as you know you need to move and we will advise honestly on what we can achieve on your timescale.
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and conditions. We also carry public liability cover for accidental damage to third‑party property or injury caused by our work. We handle your goods carefully, but insurance provides an important extra layer of protection. We are happy to share the main policy details on request and to explain what is and is not covered, so you can decide if you also wish to arrange any additional cover through your own insurer.
Our standard flat removals service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify at your new address. We provide protective blankets and covers, basic disassembly and reassembly of straightforward furniture items (such as bed frames), and handling of white goods where access allows. Optional extras include a full or partial packing service, supply of boxes and materials, and dismantling or assembly of more complex furniture. All inclusions and options are listed clearly in your quotation so you can tailor the service to your needs and budget.
A casual man‑and‑van service may be suitable for very small, simple moves, but often comes without proper insurance, training or guarantees. Man and Van Vauxhall provides a professional flat removals service with trained staff, the right equipment, goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. We survey your move where needed, plan around building rules and access, and issue a clear written quote. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected extra charges. For most flat moves – especially where there are stairs, lifts or larger furniture – a professional removals service is the safer, more reliable option.
We recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed move date, particularly if you are moving at the end of the month or on a weekend when demand is highest. For most flat moves in Vauxhall, one to three weeks’ notice is ideal, as it allows time to arrange surveys, parking suspensions and lift bookings if required. However, we understand that dates can change, especially with property chains and tenancies, so we always try to be flexible. Even if your move is short‑notice, it is still worth contacting us to see what we can offer.
At Man and Van Vauxhall, we provide a reliable, fully insured moving service for homes, flats, offices and students across Vauxhall and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience in London removals, we combine local knowledge with a careful, methodical approach so your move runs smoothly from first call to final box.
Our man and van service is a flexible, lower-stress alternative to hiring a van and doing it all yourself. You get a suitable vehicle plus one or more trained movers to handle the lifting, loading and transport for you.
Every job includes careful loading, safe transport and unloading at the other end. We can also help with packing and basic furniture dismantling where required.
Working daily in and around Vauxhall, we understand the realities of moving in this part of London: tight stairwells, controlled parking zones, busy one-way systems and lift bookings in modern blocks. We plan your move with this in mind to keep disruption and delays to a minimum.
We regularly move customers to and from:
Our drivers know the local loading points, best access routes and typical traffic patterns, which helps keep your move on schedule.
Ideal for smaller property moves, downsizing, or moving only selected items. We handle everything from fragile boxes to heavy white goods, keeping your belongings protected throughout.
If you are moving between rented flats or house shares, our service is designed to be flexible around building rules and tight timescales. We’re used to dealing with top-floor flats, narrow entrances and limited parking.
We assist landlords with clearing properties between tenancies, removing unwanted furniture, and transporting replacement items. We work considerately to minimise disruption to neighbours and building common areas.
For small offices, shops and self-employed professionals, our man and van option is a cost-effective way to relocate equipment, archives and stock. We plan around your operational needs to reduce downtime.
Students moving into or out of Vauxhall benefit from a straightforward, budget-friendly service. We can collect from multiple addresses if you are sharing a move with friends, saving everyone time and money.
If you are unsure whether we can move something, mention it during your enquiry and we will advise or suggest alternatives.
You contact us with the basic details of your move: addresses, dates, property type, floor level and a rough list of items. Based on this, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras. For straightforward man and van jobs, this is often all that is needed to book.
For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This helps us assess access, parking, item volumes and any special requirements such as oversized furniture or fragile items. Proper assessment reduces the risk of delays or needing extra journeys on the day.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. Where agreed, we bring packing materials and prepare your belongings so they are safe to move. We can also dismantle basic furniture such as bed frames and tables and protect mattresses and soft furnishings.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects your property where needed, and loads your items into the van systematically. We use blankets, straps and trolleys to protect and secure everything. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new address, unless we’ve agreed multiple drops.
At the destination, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We work efficiently but carefully to avoid damage to property or belongings. If we’ve dismantled items as part of the move, we can reassemble them where agreed in advance.
We offer clear, upfront pricing for our man and van services. Most jobs are priced either:
Your quote will explain what is included: number of movers, size of vehicle, mileage, and any additional services such as packing or furniture dismantling. We do not add unexpected charges for stairs or standard London traffic, as long as we have accurate information beforehand.
Hiring a van and asking friends for help can look cheaper on paper, but often leads to extra stress, longer days and higher risk of damage or injury. Using a professional man and van service means you benefit from:
For many customers, the difference is a calmer, quicker move and far less risk of costly mistakes.
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised industry standards. Our service includes:
We will explain the key points of cover before you book, so you understand what is and is not included. Where you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss additional protection or specific handling instructions.
We treat every move as if it were our own belongings being transported. Our crews use protective covers, blankets and floor protection where needed to keep both properties and possessions safe. We minimise unnecessary trips and route our vehicles sensibly to reduce fuel use.
Where possible, we reuse sturdy packing materials and encourage customers to recycle cartons after their move. On request, we can also remove and responsibly dispose of unwanted furniture, subject to local regulations and any disposal fees.
Whether you are upgrading, downsizing or simply changing area, our man and van service is well suited to 1–2 bedroom properties in and around Vauxhall. We can manage the whole move or just the heavy items while you handle the smaller boxes.
We regularly help small businesses move between serviced offices, co-working spaces and retail units. This can include evening or weekend moves to keep your trading disruption to a minimum.
Sometimes plans change at short notice – a tenancy ending unexpectedly, a sale completing faster than planned, or a last-minute purchase that needs collecting. Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or next-day man and van support in Vauxhall.
Costs depend mainly on how long the job takes, how many movers you need, and the distance between addresses. Smaller local moves are often charged by the hour, with a minimum booking period. Larger moves may be priced as a fixed quote based on a clear item list and access details. To keep your price accurate, we ask for honest information about property floors, parking, and any heavy or awkward items. We will always confirm rates in writing before you commit.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Vauxhall, depending on existing bookings and crew availability. If you need rapid help, call as early as possible and provide clear details of what needs moving, from where and to where. We will let you know straight away what we can offer, including estimated arrival times and costs. For very last-minute jobs, flexibility on timings and vehicle size helps us fit you into the schedule.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we are carrying, along with public liability cover for third-party property. This gives protection in the unlikely event that something is damaged while in our care, subject to the policy terms and any declared value limits. We’ll outline the key points of cover when you book and can answer specific questions about higher-value items. We also take practical steps – careful packing, secure loading and proper restraint – to prevent issues in the first place.
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional driver-mover, additional movers if agreed, loading, safe transport and unloading at the destination. We place items into the rooms you choose and use basic protective equipment such as blankets and straps. On request, we can add packing, supply of materials, and simple dismantling and reassembly of furniture. What is included for your particular move will be clearly listed in your quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
A full removals service is usually aimed at larger moves and often includes a bigger team, larger vehicles, full packing, extensive protection and more detailed planning. A man and van service is more flexible and cost-effective for smaller loads, flats, and straightforward moves. With us, you still get a professional, insured team, but the service is tailored to what you actually need, rather than a full-scale home removal package. We’ll advise which option suits your move best when you enquire.
For planned moves, booking one to two weeks in advance gives the best chance of securing your preferred date and time, especially at month-ends and weekends. That said, we regularly accommodate moves with much shorter notice, including next-day and occasional same-day jobs. If your dates are not fixed, we can suggest quieter times when availability and flexibility are better. The more notice we have, the easier it is to allocate the right vehicle and crew and to arrange any parking suspensions if needed.
At Man and Van Vauxhall, our removal van service in Vauxhall is designed for people who want a safe, organised move without the stress. As a local, experienced removals company, we provide properly equipped vans, trained staff and fully insured transport for homes, offices and student moves across Vauxhall and surrounding areas.
Our removal van service is more than just a vehicle and a driver. You get a dedicated moving team who handle your belongings carefully, plan the loading sequence, and transport everything efficiently from A to B. We use clean, well-maintained vans with securing straps, blankets and trolleys to protect your items while in transit.
Whether you are moving a single room or a full property, we tailor the van size and crew to suit your move. We regularly support local moves within Vauxhall as well as longer-distance relocations across London and the UK.
Working in Vauxhall day in, day out means we understand local streets, traffic patterns and building access issues. From new-build flats to period conversions and estates around the river, we know the common parking restrictions, lift sizes and stairwell constraints.
This local knowledge helps us plan realistic timings, choose the right van, and avoid delays. We can also advise on council parking suspensions where needed, and the best loading points to minimise walking distances and reduce the risk of damage.
Ideal for moving between houses or flats, upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London. We manage everything from furniture and appliances to fragile items and personal effects.
Perfect for tenants moving between rented properties, whether you have a few large pieces or a full one- or two-bedroom flat. We work carefully to avoid marks in communal areas and help you leave your property in good condition.
We support landlords clearing or setting up properties between tenancies, including furniture moves, part-clearances and simple rearrangements.
Our vans are well suited to small office moves, stock moves, equipment transport and internal relocations. We understand the need to minimise downtime and protect IT, documents and office furniture.
We regularly help students moving into or out of accommodation around Vauxhall, and between London universities. Our service is cost-effective for shared moves and term-time relocations.
Our Vauxhall removal vans are equipped to handle most everyday household and office items, including:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we are unable to carry in our removal vans:
If you are unsure whether a specific item can be moved, just ask – we will give clear guidance and, where appropriate, recommend a suitable specialist service.
You contact us with the details of your move: addresses, property type, approximate contents and preferred dates. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and suggest the right removal van and crew size for your needs.
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a brief survey. This can often be done virtually via video, or onsite if required. We assess access, stairs, lifts, parking, volume of goods and any fragile or heavy items. This ensures we arrive properly prepared on moving day.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service if requested in advance. Either way, we advise on labelling, dismantling certain furniture, and securing appliances. On the day, our team protects key items with blankets and wraps, and plans the loading order for safe transport.
Our professional team carefully loads your belongings into the van, using trolleys, straps and pads to avoid damage. Items are secured to prevent movement during transit. We then transport everything directly to your new address, driving responsibly and respecting speed limits and road conditions.
On arrival, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify, so you are not left with everything piled in one spot. We can reassemble basic furniture we dismantled for transport and will check you are happy before we leave.
We believe in clear pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
We usually offer either a fixed price for the whole move or an hourly rate for smaller jobs, depending on what is most appropriate. Before you confirm, we explain what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Hiring a van and doing it yourself can seem cheaper, but many people underestimate the time, effort and risk involved. Using a professional removal van service brings clear advantages:
Casual man-and-van operators may not offer contracts, insurance or professionally maintained vehicles. With Man and Van Vauxhall you get a fully accountable service backed by experience and formal protections.
Your belongings are important, so we take protection seriously. Our service includes:
We work to clear, professional standards: punctual arrival, respectful behaviour in your home or workplace, and straightforward communication throughout your move.
We treat every move as if it were our own belongings being transported. Furniture is wrapped and secured, boxes are stacked carefully, and walkways are kept clear to avoid accidents. Where appropriate, we use floor protection and corner guards in communal areas.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. We plan routes efficiently to minimise mileage, maintain our vehicles for best fuel performance, and encourage the reuse of sturdy boxes. Where clients request, we can re-collect reusable packing materials to reduce waste.
From studio flats to family homes, we support complete household moves across Vauxhall and beyond. We work around chain dates and completion times, and coordinate carefully so you are not left waiting on the pavement with your belongings.
Our removal vans are ideal for small to medium office moves, stock relocations and internal reconfigurations. We can work outside normal hours to reduce disruption, and pay particular attention to IT equipment and confidential materials.
Sometimes plans change at short notice – a tenancy ends early, a sublet becomes available, or other arrangements fall through. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day removal van services in Vauxhall, helping you move quickly while still protecting your belongings.
The cost of a removal van in Vauxhall depends on the size of your move, access at each property, the number of movers required and the total time involved. Smaller moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while larger house or office moves are often priced as a fixed quote. To keep things transparent, we ask a few questions about your items and locations, then give you a clear written estimate with no hidden extras. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your exact needs.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Vauxhall, depending on existing bookings and team availability. If you need a rapid move, call us as early as possible with your details so we can check our schedule and allocate the right van and crew. Even for urgent jobs, we still work methodically and safely, protecting your items and property. While we cannot guarantee last-minute availability every day, we do our best to accommodate genuine emergencies.
Yes. Our removal van service includes goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being transported, and public liability cover for work at your properties. This provides protection in the unlikely event of damage or an incident. We will explain the key points of cover, including any limits or exclusions, before you book. You should also ensure that particularly high-value or unusual items are discussed with us in advance, so we can confirm the most appropriate arrangements.
Our standard service includes a suitable removal van, a trained moving team, loading and unloading, use of protective blankets and straps, and transport between your addresses. We place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture by prior agreement. Packing materials and full packing services are available as optional extras. Parking fees, congestion or clean air charges may be added if applicable, but these will always be explained clearly in your quote before you confirm.
While the term “man and van” is often used informally, our service operates as a professional removals company. That means proper insurance, written confirmations, trained staff, maintained vehicles and a structured process from enquiry to completion. We carry protective equipment, plan access and loading carefully, and take responsibility for your belongings from start to finish. Casual man-and-van operators may not offer the same level of protection, reliability or accountability, which can be risky when moving everything you own.
For planned house or office moves, we usually recommend booking at least two weeks in advance, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or on a weekend, when demand is highest. This gives us time to schedule the right van size and crew, and to arrange any surveys or parking suspensions if required. That said, we will always try to help with shorter notice where possible. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we will have with dates and times.
At Man and Van Vauxhall, we provide reliable, straightforward removal services across Vauxhall and the surrounding areas. As local movers with years of hands-on experience, we focus on careful planning, safe handling and clear communication so your move runs smoothly from first enquiry to final placement of furniture.
Our Vauxhall-based team carries out a wide range of domestic removals and commercial removals, from small flats to full family homes and busy offices. Every job is handled by a trained, uniformed crew using suitable vehicles, protective equipment and the right tools for the job.
We understand the streets, parking restrictions and building layouts in and around Vauxhall, which allows us to plan efficient routes, anticipate access issues and keep disruption to a minimum.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Vauxhall, we provide full-house removals, including furniture dismantling and reassembly where required. We take extra care with high-value and sentimental items.
Flat and house moves for tenants, from studio apartments to shared houses. We are used to tight staircases, lifts, shared entrances and time-limited access, and we work efficiently to protect your deposit by preventing damage to walls and floors.
We help landlords with void property clearances, part-moves and furniture moves between properties. We can coordinate access with agents, work around other contractors, and remove old or unwanted furniture in a tidy and responsible way.
Our office and commercial removals cover small local offices, retail spaces and light commercial units. We move desks, filing cabinets, stock, POS equipment and more, with careful labelling so items arrive at the right workstation or area.
We offer cost-conscious moves for students in Vauxhall and nearby campuses. From a few boxes and a bed to a full room move, we can often combine runs to keep costs sensible while still providing a professional, reliable service.
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, there are some items we normally cannot transport as part of a standard removal:
If you are unsure about any specific item, we will advise you during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.
You contact us with the details of your move: addresses, property size, key dates and any special items. We ask a few practical questions to understand access, parking and timings. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included and any options, such as packing or dismantling services.
For anything beyond a very small move, we carry out a brief survey, either via video call or a visit. This allows us to check volumes, assess stairs and lifts, note fragile or bulky pieces, and plan vehicle sizes and crew numbers correctly. Accurate surveys help keep costs fair and avoid last-minute issues.
We can provide full packing services, partial packing (for fragile items only) or supply of quality packing materials if you prefer to pack yourself. When we pack, we use strong boxes, wrapping and labelling systems to keep items protected and easy to identify at the new property.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you, and protects key areas such as doors, bannisters and floors where needed. We load the vehicle carefully, securing items to prevent movement during transit. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new address using suitable, well-maintained vehicles.
At your new property, we unload and place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any agreed items and check you are happy with the layout before we leave. We take away our protective materials and leave your property tidy so you can start settling in straight away.
We price our removal services in Vauxhall based on:
You receive a written quote explaining what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for. We do not add hidden charges on the day; any potential extras (such as unexpected additional items or waiting time) are explained in advance wherever possible.
It can be tempting to hire a casual van or ask friends to help, but there are clear advantages to using a professional removal company:
Man and Van Vauxhall operates to recognised industry standards. We are fully covered with goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our care, and public liability cover for peace of mind at both addresses.
Our moving teams are trained in manual handling, furniture protection and safe driving practices. We carry proper moving equipment such as trolleys, straps, blankets and tools, and we follow documented procedures for packing, loading and transport to keep risks low.
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture and delicate pieces are wrapped and secured, and we use floor and door protection where needed to prevent scuffs and scratches. For longer moves, we plan rest breaks and routes that minimise unnecessary jolts or delays.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible we use reusable transit blankets and durable crates, encourage the re-use of quality boxes, and plan routes efficiently to reduce fuel consumption. Any unwanted items that can be recycled or donated are directed to appropriate facilities when agreed in advance.
From one-bedroom flats off the main roads to larger family homes, we manage full home moves, often including packing, furniture dismantling and same-day completion to match key release times.
We help businesses move within Vauxhall or to new areas, often outside normal working hours to limit downtime. Desks, IT equipment and files are labelled and placed as agreed so staff can resume work quickly.
When completion dates change or tenancies end unexpectedly, we do our best to accommodate urgent removals and short-notice bookings in Vauxhall, subject to availability. Our local base makes it easier to respond quickly when a suitable slot is free.
Costs depend on the size of your move, distance, access and whether you need packing or additional services. A small flat move within Vauxhall might be priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while a full house move is usually quoted as a fixed price. After a brief discussion and survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know the total in advance. There are no hidden extras; any possible additional charges, such as extended waiting time, are explained before you confirm your booking.
Same-day or very short-notice moves are sometimes possible, particularly within Vauxhall, but depend entirely on vehicle and crew availability. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as you can with your dates, addresses and a rough idea of what needs moving. We will check our schedule and offer the nearest suitable slot. When we can help at short notice, we still follow our standard safety and handling procedures, but we may simplify options such as packing to keep within the available time.
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being handled by our team and transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for incidents at your property. During the quote and booking stages, we outline the key terms and any limits so you understand exactly how the cover works. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may discuss additional details to ensure they are properly declared and handled with the appropriate level of care.
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your packed belongings between addresses, plus basic protection of furniture with blankets and straps. We place items into the rooms you specify and can carry out simple dismantling and reassembly by prior agreement. Optional extras include full packing, fragile-only packing, supply of materials and property clearances. Your written quote will list exactly what is included, so you can see whether packing, dismantling or disposal services are part of your agreed move plan.
A casual man-and-van typically provides transport and some lifting, but may not offer the same level of planning, protection or insurance. As a professional removal service, we carry appropriate insurance, use trained teams, plan access and routes in advance, and bring proper equipment to protect your belongings and property. We also provide written quotes, clear terms and a structured process from survey to unloading. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings, and gives you a single accountable point of contact throughout your move.
Ideally, you should book as soon as your moving date is reasonably certain, particularly if you are moving at the end of the month or during peak times. For most home and office moves in Vauxhall, one to three weeks’ notice is comfortable, but we often accommodate shorter lead times. Early booking allows for a proper survey, detailed planning and discussion of packing needs. However, if circumstances change, let us know as quickly as possible; we will always try to adjust dates or times where our schedule allows.
At Man and Van Vauxhall, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions for homes and businesses across Vauxhall and the surrounding areas. As a local removals and storage specialist, we collect, protect, store and return your belongings with the same care we use on every move.
Our Vauxhall storage service is designed for people who need safe, convenient space without the hassle of hiring a van, lifting heavy items or dealing with a distant self-storage depot. We bring the van, the team and the materials to you, load everything securely, transport it to our partner facility, then return it when you’re ready.
Whether you need short-term storage during a move or longer-term space while you travel or renovate, we tailor the solution to your situation.
Based in Vauxhall, we know the local streets, parking rules and building layouts very well. From riverside flats and new developments to period conversions and commercial units, we understand the access challenges, lift restrictions and loading bays you’re likely to face.
This local knowledge lets us plan timings, parking and team size properly so your collection and redelivery are smooth, punctual and well organised.
Perfect if you’re between properties, decluttering before a sale or renovating. Store furniture, white goods, boxed belongings, seasonal items and more while keeping your home clear and safe.
If your new tenancy dates don’t quite line up, or you’re moving into a smaller flat, our storage gives you a buffer. We collect from your current rental, store what you don’t immediately need, and deliver when you’re ready.
Use our service when changing tenants, refurbishing, or converting a property. We can store existing furniture, appliances and fixtures securely so your property is empty for works or viewings.
Ideal for office relocations, document archiving, surplus stock or event equipment. We offer organised, labelled storage and can coordinate with your office move to minimise downtime.
Heading home for the holidays or a year abroad? Store your belongings locally instead of hauling everything home. We collect from halls or shared houses and return at the start of term.
We handle a wide range of typical household and office items, including:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:
Contact us with a rough list of items and your dates. We’ll ask a few questions about access, floors, lifts and timings. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation covering collection, storage and redelivery.
For larger jobs, complex access or business storage, we recommend a short video call or onsite visit. This lets us assess volumes accurately, plan packaging and choose the right vehicle and team size, so there are no surprises on the day.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can supply materials and a professional packing service. Our team protect furniture with padded covers, wrap fragile items, and label boxes clearly so your goods are easy to identify and retrieve later.
On collection day, our trained team arrive on time with all necessary equipment. We handle the lifting, dismantle items where required, and load the van securely to prevent movement in transit. Your belongings are then transported directly to our secure storage facility.
At the facility, your items are unloaded, placed into clean, dry units and recorded on our inventory. When you’re ready, we schedule redelivery, bring everything back to your new address and place items in the rooms you specify.
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will typically include:
Optional services such as packing, dismantling/reassembly and packing materials are itemised so you can choose what you need. We’re always happy to explain how we’ve calculated the estimate.
Hiring your own van and taking items to a self-storage depot can look cheaper on paper, but it often comes with hidden costs, damage risks and a lot of stress. With our professional service you benefit from:
It’s a safer, more efficient and often more economical option once everything is considered.
As an established local removals company, we operate to high standards and carry appropriate insurance cover:
We’ll explain exactly what is covered and any limits or exclusions so you can make informed decisions, especially for unusually high-value items.
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses bagged, and electronics packed securely. We use reusable protective covers and, where possible, recycled packing materials to reduce waste.
We also plan routes carefully to cut unnecessary mileage and emissions. When materials reach the end of their life, we use responsible recycling channels. Our aim is a service that’s careful with your possessions and considerate towards the environment.
If completion dates don’t line up, we can move you out, store your contents for a few days or weeks, then deliver to your new home when keys are ready. Everything is kept together, safe and documented.
When an office is being renovated or the business is relocating in phases, we can store desks, chairs, files and IT equipment securely. We coordinate closely so your staff and customers experience minimal disruption.
Sometimes you need space quickly – a sale goes through faster than expected, a tenancy ends early or building works start sooner than planned. Subject to availability, we can arrange swift collection and short-notice storage to give you breathing room.
Costs depend on how much you’re storing, how long for and how complex the access is. We usually price based on the volume of your goods, plus collection and redelivery charges. For smaller loads, we can often group jobs to keep costs down. Longer-term storage may attract better weekly or monthly rates. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with a rough inventory or photos; we’ll then provide a clear, itemised quotation with no obligation.
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to help with same-day or very short-notice storage requests in Vauxhall. Availability depends on vehicle and staff capacity, as well as space at the facility. If you’re in a rush, call us as early as possible with your details and we’ll let you know what we can do. Even when same-day isn’t feasible, we can usually arrange a prompt collection and short-term solution to bridge any gap you’re facing.
Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are transporting them to and from the storage facility. The facility itself has its own security measures and, in many cases, additional cover. We’ll explain how the insurance works, what limits apply and any items that might require special arrangements. For unusually high-value possessions, we may recommend that you inform your own insurer too. Our goal is full clarity so you understand exactly how your belongings are protected at every stage.
Our standard service includes a van, a professional team to handle loading and unloading, transport to our secure storage facility, and placement of items into your allocated space. On redelivery, we bring everything back to your chosen address and place items into the rooms you indicate. Optional extras include packing materials, full or partial packing, and dismantling and reassembly of furniture. All inclusions and options are set out clearly in your quotation so you can tailor the service to your needs and budget.
A casual man-and-van is often just transport. With us, you get a structured storage solution: trained staff, protective materials, proper inventory, coordination with a secure facility and appropriate insurance cover. We plan access, manage heavy or awkward items carefully and offer additional services like packing and furniture assembly. In short, you’re not just hiring a van and a driver; you’re using a professional removals and storage company that takes full responsibility for your belongings from door to store and back again.
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially in busy periods such as month-end or summer. That said, we understand that plans change quickly, and we’ll always try to accommodate short-notice requests where possible. As soon as you know you might need storage, get in touch. An early conversation doesn’t commit you, but it does help us pencil in availability and give you realistic options.
At Man and Van Vauxhall, our dedicated Packing and Boxes service is designed to take the stress and hassle out of getting ready for move day. As local Vauxhall removals professionals with years of hands-on experience, we know that careful packing is what makes the difference between a smooth move and a stressful one.
Our packing service is a complete solution: we supply high‑quality boxes and materials, and our trained team carefully packs your belongings ready for safe transport. You can choose:
Everything is labelled by room and contents, so unloading and unpacking at the new address is straightforward and efficient.
Working day in, day out across Vauxhall and surrounding areas, we understand the practicalities of packing for flats, terrace houses, mansion blocks and new-build apartments. Narrow stairwells, lack of lifts and controlled parking zones all affect how we pack and protect your belongings.
Because we know the local streets and building layouts, we can plan the packing sequence properly – packing non‑essentials first, keeping daily items accessible, and ensuring boxes are manageable for properties with stairs and limited access.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of the area, we handle the full packing of houses and larger apartments. We can work alongside your completion date, often packing the day before the move to keep disruption to a minimum.
If you are in a rented flat or house in Vauxhall, our service helps you leave the property clean and organised for check‑out. We protect fixtures and fittings while packing to help you safeguard your deposit.
For furnished or part‑furnished lets, we offer inventory packing and re‑boxing of stored items between tenancies, as well as safe packing of landlord‑owned furniture and appliances when refurbishing or selling.
Our commercial packing team supports office moves, shop relocations and storage clearances. We use clearly labelled crates and archive boxes for files, IT equipment and stock, keeping disruption to your trading to a minimum.
Students in and around Vauxhall benefit from budget‑friendly student packing and boxes for term‑time moves, summer storage and relocations to new accommodation. We can supply smaller cartons ideal for books and personal items.
For safety and insurance reasons, there are some items we either cannot pack or can only move under specific conditions:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise in advance.
You contact Man and Van Vauxhall with your details: property size, dates and whether you want full, partial or fragile packing. We provide a clear, no‑obligation estimate based on the volume of items and the level of service required.
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, the number of boxes needed, special items (such as pianos or artwork) and any disassembly requirements. It means there are no surprises on the day and we bring the correct materials.
On the agreed date, our professional packing team arrives with all boxes and materials. We protect surfaces, then pack room by room, wrapping fragile items carefully and labelling every box. Furniture requiring dismantling is disassembled and any loose parts are bagged and labelled.
Once everything is boxed and ready, our removals team loads the van methodically, heavier boxes at the bottom, fragile and light boxes on top. Items are secured with straps and blankets for safe transport from Vauxhall to your new address or to storage.
At the destination, we unload boxes into the correct rooms according to the labels. Furniture is reassembled where agreed, and we position larger items such as beds and wardrobes so you can start settling in straight away.
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Your quote will clearly separate:
Quotes are based on the volume of items, level of packing required, access conditions and distance travelled. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs (such as parking charges or congestion zone fees) are discussed upfront.
While it is possible to pack yourself, using a professional packing service in Vauxhall offers several advantages:
Casual man‑and‑van services often expect you to provide your own boxes, do your own packing, and accept limited responsibility for damage. Our approach is planned, documented and fully protected.
Man and Van Vauxhall operates to recognised industry standards to protect you and your belongings.
We are happy to explain the scope of our insurance, and you should always declare any particularly high‑value items so we can ensure they are properly recorded and protected.
We treat every item as if it were our own. Breakables are individually wrapped, furniture is covered, and boxes are never overloaded. Floors, bannisters and doorways are protected where necessary to minimise the risk of scuffs or damage.
Sustainability is increasingly important, so we use strong, reusable cartons where possible and encourage customers to return or reuse boxes after their move. We can also provide a box collection service for suitable used cartons, helping to reduce waste. Whenever we dispose of damaged materials, we do so responsibly and, where possible, recycle.
For local house moves, we typically pack the day before and move you the following day. Essential items are clearly marked so you can access them straight away at your new home.
When relocating an office, we supply crates and computer‑safe packaging. Each workstation is labelled, and we work outside office hours where required to limit downtime for your staff.
Sometimes moves are last‑minute – completion dates change, tenancies end unexpectedly, or you need to vacate a property quickly. Subject to availability, we can provide same‑day or next‑day packing support in Vauxhall, focusing first on essential and fragile items to keep things safe and manageable.
Costs depend on the size of your property, how much you want us to pack and the quality and quantity of materials required. Smaller flat moves might only need a basic materials package and a few hours of labour, while a full packing service for a larger house will cost more. After a short discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote that separates material costs from labour and transport. There are no hidden fees, and we can often tailor the service to match your budget.
We can often help with same‑day or short‑notice packing in Vauxhall, especially outside peak periods. Availability depends on our schedule and the size of the job, so the earlier you contact us, the better. For urgent cases, we usually focus on essential rooms and fragile items first, then work through the remaining areas as time allows. If we cannot offer full packing at very short notice, we can usually supply boxes and materials quickly and advise you on the best way to pack safely.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved, along with public liability cover for any accidental damage to property. Insurance applies subject to our terms and conditions, which we are happy to explain in plain language. Professionally packed items are generally better covered than items packed without our involvement, as we know they have been prepared to an appropriate standard. For particularly high‑value or unusual items, please let us know in advance so we can record them and confirm the most suitable arrangements.
We can provide anything from boxes and materials only through to a complete, end‑to‑end packing solution. Typically, our service includes supply of quality cartons, bubble wrap and tape, professional packing of your belongings, labelling of boxes by room and contents, and preparation of furniture for safe transport. When combined with removals, we also handle loading, secure transit and unloading at your new address. You choose the level of help you need: full property packing, selected rooms only, or just specialist packing for fragile and high‑value items.
A casual man‑and‑van will usually turn up with limited materials, expect everything to be packed and ready, and may offer only minimal protection for your goods. Our service is a structured, professional removals operation. We carry a full range of packing materials, use trained staff, and follow proven packing and loading methods. We also provide written quotes, goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. In short, we take responsibility for planning and protecting your move, rather than simply transporting loose items from one address to another.
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance, particularly if you are moving at the end of the month or on a Friday, which are busy periods. That said, we regularly accommodate moves booked with only a few days’ notice, and we will always try to help if our schedule allows. Early booking also gives us time to arrange a survey, plan materials accurately and discuss any special requirements you may have.
Efficient office removals are about more than lifting desks. They are about protecting your business continuity, safeguarding your IT, and ensuring your team can sit down and work in the new office the very next day. At Man and Van Vauxhall, we provide structured, well-managed office removals across Vauxhall and surrounding areas, tailored to businesses of every size.
Our office removals service is a complete solution designed to move your workplace safely, securely and with minimal disruption. We plan each move around your business operations, whether you are relocating a small studio or an entire multi-floor office.
We handle everything from packing IT equipment and archive files, to dismantling and reassembling office furniture and moving specialist items. Every move is carried out by a trained, uniformed and professional team using purpose-built vehicles and materials.
Based in Vauxhall, we know the local streets, parking restrictions and building access challenges inside out. That local knowledge allows us to plan sensible access routes, manage loading and unloading efficiently and avoid unnecessary delays.
Whether you are moving within Vauxhall, into central London, or between different business districts, we coordinate with your building management and reception teams to ensure a smooth move with minimal disturbance to neighbouring tenants.
Our core office removals service is built around businesses of all sizes:
We also support:
If your move involves desks, chairs, computers or stock, we can build a practical plan around your needs.
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need prior agreement:
If you have anything unusual or high value, mention it during the survey so we can advise on the safest way to move it.
Share the basics: current address, new address, floor levels, lift access, approximate staff numbers and move date. We provide an initial estimate based on this information, and suggest suitable dates and time slots, including evenings or weekends if required.
We then carry out a detailed survey, either onsite or via video. This allows us to assess access routes, parking, volume of furniture and equipment, and any specialist items. From this we produce a clear written quote and move plan, outlining the services required, timings and any special arrangements.
Depending on your needs, we can provide:
We supply suitable materials: double-walled cartons, IT crates, anti-static wraps and protective coverings for floors and lifts.
On move day, our professional team arrives at the agreed time, protects key areas, and systematically loads your office contents. Everything is inventoried and labelled for the correct destination room or workstation. Your goods are then transported in purpose-equipped vehicles, secured for transit under our goods in transit insurance.
At the new premises we unload in a controlled order, placing items directly into the correct rooms and positions. Desks and furniture are reassembled, crates distributed to the right teams, and we work alongside your IT provider to place equipment ready for reconnection. We can also remove packing materials once you are unpacked.
We price office moves fairly and transparently, based on:
You receive a written quotation with a clear breakdown of what is included. There are no hidden charges for stairs, basic furniture assembly or standard waiting times, and any potential extras are explained in advance.
Attempting an office move with borrowed vans or casual labour often leads to damage, delays and disruption to your business. Professional office removals bring:
The cost difference is often outweighed by reduced downtime, fewer breakages and a smoother transition for your team.
As a responsible removals company, we operate to recognised industry standards and maintain extensive insurance cover for your peace of mind.
We carry out risk assessments where needed, coordinate with building management, and follow sensible health and safety practices at every stage of the move.
We treat your office as if it were our own. That means careful protection of walls, doors and lifts, secure packing of IT, and thoughtful handling of sensitive documents and archives.
We are also committed to reducing waste and operating responsibly:
Many of our clients are homeowners or renters with a dedicated home office. We can move your household belongings and your office equipment together, ensuring your workstation, files and IT are prioritised so you can get back to work quickly.
From single-floor moves to phased relocations across multiple locations, we work closely with management teams to coordinate each step. Where necessary, we can split the move over several days or weekends to keep your operations running.
Sometimes leases fall through, landlords change plans, or businesses need to respond quickly to change. Subject to availability, we can provide same‑day or rapid-response office removals in and around Vauxhall, focusing on core equipment and essential workstations first.
Costs depend on the size of your office, the volume of items, access at each property and the level of packing required. Smaller office moves within Vauxhall can often be completed within a day, while larger multi-floor relocations may require a team over several days. After a survey, we provide a clear, fixed quotation detailing labour, vehicles and materials. There are no hidden extras, and we can offer options to adjust the cost, such as staff self-packing or moving non-essential items on a separate day.
Yes, subject to diary availability. For urgent moves, we concentrate on what is critical to keep your business operating: IT equipment, key furniture and essential files. We will discuss priorities with you, then allocate the right size team and vehicle at the earliest possible slot. While more notice is always preferable, we understand that commercial moves are sometimes driven by deadlines beyond your control, and we do our best to accommodate short‑notice relocations in and around Vauxhall.
Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved and transported, and we also carry public liability cover for the buildings we work in. This means that, in the unlikely event of an incident, you have proper protection in place. We still ask clients to highlight particularly high‑value items or sensitive equipment during the survey so we can take extra precautions. Full details of our cover and any applicable limits or exclusions are provided with your quotation and can be discussed in advance.
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, IT equipment, boxed contents and files. We also include basic dismantling and reassembly of standard desks and shelving, as well as placement of items into the correct rooms at your new premises. Additional services, such as full packing, crate hire, specialist IT packing or disposal of unwanted furniture, can be added as needed. Everything that is included will be clearly listed in your quote, so you know exactly what to expect on move day.
A casual man‑and‑van service typically offers transport and lifting only, with limited planning or protection. A professional office removal is fully planned and managed: surveys, labelling systems, protection of premises, careful handling of IT and furniture, and fully insured cover as standard. We use trained teams, the correct equipment and established procedures to minimise disruption. For a business, this means less downtime, fewer breakages and a smoother, more predictable move, which usually outweighs any perceived saving from using an informal service.
For most office moves, booking 4–6 weeks in advance is ideal, especially if you need weekend or evening slots or have a larger team. This gives us time to carry out a thorough survey, finalise the move plan and coordinate with your building management and IT providers. Smaller or simpler moves can often be arranged with less notice, and we will always try to accommodate shorter lead times where possible. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we will have on dates and scheduling.
At Man and Van Vauxhall, our man with a van service is a flexible, professional option for smaller moves and quick jobs across Vauxhall and the surrounding areas. You get the convenience of a van and driver, with the care and standards of a dedicated removals company – not a casual courier.
Our service is designed for customers who need a reliable, experienced mover without the scale or cost of a full removals crew. Typical jobs include:
Every job is carried out by a trained driver-mover using a clean, well-maintained van, equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys to protect your belongings.
We operate day in, day out in and around Vauxhall. That means:
Because we are genuinely local, we can usually offer short-notice or same-day man with a van bookings in Vauxhall where availability allows.
Ideal for clearing garages, moving a few large furniture items, or transporting purchases that will not fit in a car. We often help homeowners in Vauxhall with partial moves and deliveries linked to renovations and redecorating.
If you are moving between rented properties, our man with a van option keeps costs down while still providing a professional service. It is particularly suitable for one- or two-bedroom flats and house shares.
We support landlords with furniture moves, end-of-tenancy clearances and delivering or removing white goods and beds. We work considerately in shared buildings and can liaise directly with your tenants or agents if needed.
From moving a few desks to shifting stock between locations, our man with a van teams help local businesses stay flexible. We also assist with exhibition and event transport, including careful loading and timed deliveries.
Students in and around Vauxhall use us for simple, affordable moves to and from halls and shared houses. We can handle everything from a few boxes and a bike to a fully furnished student room.
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, mention it during your enquiry and we will advise you clearly.
You contact us with a brief description of what needs moving, the addresses in Vauxhall and beyond, access details and your ideal date and time. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually based on an hourly rate plus any agreed extras.
For straightforward man with a van jobs, a phone or video survey is usually sufficient. For more complex moves – tight access, heavy or fragile items – we may suggest an onsite visit in Vauxhall to assess parking, stairs and lift access, ensuring we allocate the right van and manpower.
Most man with a van customers handle their own packing. However, if you prefer, we can supply materials or offer a professional packing service at an agreed additional cost. We will advise you on how best to pack fragile and heavy items so they travel safely.
On the day, our trained mover arrives on time, confirms the plan and carefully loads the van. We use blankets, straps and trolleys for safe handling and transit. Everything is arranged securely before we set off, taking the most efficient route we can based on traffic and access.
At your destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it and stacking boxes neatly. Once everything is unloaded, we perform a quick walk-through with you to ensure nothing has been overlooked before we leave.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our man with a van service is typically charged:
Your quote will explain exactly what is included – travel time, loading and unloading, mileage limits, congestion and parking costs where relevant. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (such as extra mileage or waiting time) are discussed in advance.
Hiring a van yourself or booking an informal driver may look cheaper on paper, but it often costs more in time, risk and stress. With a professional man with a van from Man and Van Vauxhall you benefit from:
This approach reduces the chance of damage to your belongings, your property and yourself.
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised industry standards.
Details of our cover can be provided on request, and we are happy to confirm specific requirements for building management or office moves.
Every move, however small, is handled with care. We protect items with padded blankets, secure them with straps and load in a way that minimises movement in transit. For properties in Vauxhall, we take care to protect walls, floors and communal areas, particularly in shared stairwells and lifts.
We are also mindful of our environmental responsibilities. Wherever possible we:
For one- and two-bedroom properties in Vauxhall, a man with a van is often the most efficient option. We can complete local moves in a single trip, keeping disruption low and costs transparent.
Smaller offices and studios benefit from flexible, out-of-hours moves. We can move desks, chairs, filing and IT equipment with minimal downtime and respect for shared building rules.
Life is not always predictable. When you need a short-notice move – a last-minute tenancy change, urgent item delivery, or unexpected clearance – we do our best to provide a same-day man with a van in Vauxhall, subject to availability.
Costs depend mainly on time, distance and how many people are needed to carry out the work safely. We usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, and can give a clear estimate once we know the volume of items, access details and addresses. Your quote will explain what is included, such as loading, unloading and local mileage. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs like parking or extended waiting time are discussed in advance so you know where you stand.
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or short-notice bookings in Vauxhall and nearby areas. The more information you can provide when you call – item list, addresses, access, and timing – the quicker we can confirm availability and price. Urgent moves are often charged at our standard hourly rate, though peak-time or evening surcharges may apply. If we cannot accommodate your ideal time, we will always suggest the closest practical alternative slot.
Yes. Our man with a van service is backed by goods in transit insurance for items we are transporting, as well as public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property or injury. As with any policy, there are limits, exclusions and packing requirements, which we are happy to explain before you book. If you have particularly high-value or unusual items, please tell us in advance so we can confirm specific cover and advise on any extra precautions needed.
Our standard service includes a trained driver-mover, a suitable van, loading and unloading of your items, and protective equipment such as blankets and straps. We will place items into the rooms you specify and position large furniture where practical. Packing is normally done by you, but we can provide materials or a packing service at extra cost if required. Your quote will outline precisely what is included so there is no confusion on the day.
Many basic man-and-van operators are casual or part-time, with limited insurance and equipment. We operate as a dedicated removals company, with fully insured cover, trained staff and proper procedures. Our vans are equipped with professional-grade protection and handling tools, and we take responsibility for planning access and route. In practice, this means fewer breakages, smoother loading and unloading, and a more dependable, accountable service from first enquiry to completion.
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking your man with a van in Vauxhall at least one to two weeks in advance. That said, we regularly accommodate moves booked only a day or two ahead, and can sometimes help on the same day. The earlier you contact us, the more efficiently we can plan your job, advise on packing and parking, and ensure we allocate the right vehicle and team size for your needs.
At Man and Van Vauxhall, we provide a reliable, well-organised removals service for homes and businesses throughout Vauxhall and the surrounding areas. As a local, experienced removals company, we combine careful planning with hands-on expertise to move your belongings safely, on time and with minimal disruption.
We run a structured removals operation, not a casual man-with-a-van sideline. Every move is planned, scheduled and managed by an experienced coordinator, with a trained team allocated to your job. Whether you are moving a studio flat, a family home or a small office, we scale the crew and vehicle to suit your move, not the other way round.
Our core removals services include:
All work is carried out by trained, uniformed staff and covered by our goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
Working daily in and around Vauxhall means we understand the realities of moving in this part of London: tight access, controlled parking zones, loading restrictions and busy one-way systems. We factor all of this into our planning so you are not caught out on moving day.
We regularly handle moves from:
We can advise on parking suspensions, lift bookings and building access requirements, helping your move run smoothly from first enquiry to final box placed.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating for work, we provide a structured, low-stress moving experience. We protect doors, banisters and flooring, and handle larger items such as wardrobes, beds and white goods with care.
For tenants moving between rented properties, we offer flexible dates and efficient loading to minimise time off work. We are used to working around tight stairwells, lift bookings and inventory checks.
We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clear moves, partial removals and furniture changes between lets. Where agreed, we can move items into storage or between properties on the same day.
Small offices, shops and studios rely on us for organised, time-sensitive moves. We label and separate departments or work areas, move IT equipment carefully, and work to agreed schedules to keep downtime to a minimum.
Students moving to or from Vauxhall benefit from cost-effective part-load moves. We can transport boxed belongings, bikes, desks and small furniture between halls, shared houses and storage units.
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we usually cannot move:
If you are unsure about a specific item, we will clarify this during your quote or survey.
You contact us by phone or online with details of your move: addresses, property type, key dates and any special items. We will ask a few structured questions to understand the scale of the job, then provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey if required.
For anything beyond a very small move, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, volume of goods and any dismantling needs. The survey ensures the right vehicle size, crew and time are allocated, preventing delays and unexpected costs.
Depending on your needs, we can supply packing materials or provide a full packing service. Where booked, our team will pack your belongings into appropriate boxes, wrap fragile items and prepare furniture for transport. If you are packing yourself, we will advise on best practice so everything travels safely.
On moving day, our professional team arrives at the agreed time, protects key areas, and loads items in a logical, secure order. All goods are secured within the vehicle using ties and blankets to prevent movement. We then transport your belongings directly to your new address, following pre-agreed routes and timings.
At the destination, we unload systematically and place items in the rooms you specify. Where agreed in advance, we will reassemble furniture and position large items before we leave. We conduct a final walk-through with you so you can confirm everything is in place and accounted for.
We operate on clear, written quotes with no hidden extras. Pricing is typically based on:
Smaller moves within Vauxhall may be priced on a fixed rate or a clearly defined hourly structure with minimum hours. Larger moves are usually quoted as a fixed price based on survey. We always confirm what is included in writing before you book.
Attempting a DIY move or relying on a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, but often leads to damage, delays and stress. As a professional removal company, we provide:
For many customers, the reduced risk of damage and disruption more than offsets any savings a DIY approach might appear to offer.
Your belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Our service is supported by:
We work to recognised industry practices for wrapping, stacking and securing loads. Any specific requirements or higher-value items are discussed in advance so the appropriate cover and handling can be arranged.
We prioritise the safe handling of your belongings and the properties we work in. Floors, banisters and doorways can be protected where needed, and fragile items are wrapped and loaded with care.
We also take a practical approach to sustainability:
Our aim is to carry out each move efficiently while minimising waste and avoiding unnecessary damage or disruption.
Typical house moves involve packing the day before, early-morning loading and timed arrival at your new property once keys are released. We understand the pressures of completion days and coordinate closely with you to adapt to any timing changes.
For business moves, we can schedule work outside standard hours where possible to limit downtime. We label crates and equipment clearly, follow agreed floor plans, and prioritise critical items such as IT equipment and key workstations.
When circumstances change quickly – a tenancy ending, a sale completing sooner than expected, or an unexpected situation – we do our best to offer same-day or short-notice moves within Vauxhall, subject to availability. The more detail you can provide at enquiry stage, the quicker we can confirm what is realistically achievable.
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, volume of belongings, distance between addresses and the level of service required. A simple flat move within Vauxhall may be priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price after a survey. Packing, dismantling and long carries can also affect the cost. We always provide a clear, written quote before you commit, so you know exactly what is included.
We can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves within Vauxhall, particularly for smaller properties or part-loads, but it does depend on existing bookings and crew availability. If you need a quick turnaround, call us as early as possible with full details of both addresses, access and key timings. We will give you an honest answer about what can be achieved and the likely cost. Where we cannot assist, we will advise on practical next steps so you are not left without options.
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work on your premises. This is designed to protect against unforeseen incidents during the move. We will explain the main terms and limits when you book, and you should highlight any particularly high-value items in advance. For certain valuables or unusual items, you may also wish to check cover with your own insurer for complete peace of mind.
As standard, our service includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained removals team, protective blankets, basic securing equipment and the loading, transport and unloading of your belongings between the agreed addresses. We will place items into the rooms you specify at the destination. Additional services such as packing, supply of boxes, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, disposal of unwanted items or storage can be added by arrangement and will be clearly listed on your quote so you know precisely what to expect on the day.
A casual man-and-van often provides transport only, with limited planning, equipment or insurance. A professional removal company like ours offers structured surveys, written quotes, insured transport, trained staff, and the right vehicles and tools for the job. We plan parking, access and timings in advance, protect your belongings during loading and transit, and are accountable if something goes wrong. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, and usually results in a smoother, more efficient move overall.
For a typical house move, we recommend booking as soon as your moving date is reasonably certain, often 2–4 weeks in advance. This gives you a better choice of dates and allows time to arrange surveys, parking suspensions and packing. Shorter notice is sometimes possible, especially for smaller moves, but availability can be limited at busy times such as month-end and weekends. If your date is uncertain, we can often pencil you in provisionally and confirm once your plans are finalised.
At Man and Van Vauxhall, we provide reliable, well-organised removals across Vauxhall and the surrounding areas. Every move is handled by a trained, professional team, backed by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, so your belongings are protected from start to finish.
Our removals service is designed to make moving day as straightforward and stress-free as possible. We handle the physical work, planning and logistics, while you focus on settling into your new space.
Working daily in and around Vauxhall means we understand the realities of moving in this part of London: busy roads, parking restrictions, controlled access blocks and tight stairwells. We factor all of this into our planning.
We are familiar with local estates, new-build developments, mansion blocks and converted flats. This local knowledge allows us to plan suitable vehicle sizes, safe loading points and realistic timeframes, helping to avoid delays on the day.
If you have something unusual or especially valuable, please mention it during the enquiry so we can advise on safe handling and cover.
Contact us with the basic details of your move: addresses, property type, key dates and a rough list of items. We will ask a few questions about access, parking and any fragile or bulky pieces. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining what is included and any options you might want to add.
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a short survey, either via video call or an onsite visit. This helps us understand volume, access constraints and any special requirements. A good survey avoids surprises on the day and allows us to allocate the right team size, vehicle and equipment.
You can choose between packing yourself or adding our professional packing service. If we pack, we supply materials and carefully wrap and box your items, labelling rooms for easy unloading. If you pack, we provide guidance on best practice, including how to protect fragile items and prepare appliances.
On moving day, our trained removals team arrives on time, walks through the property with you and agrees an order of work. We protect key areas such as doors, bannisters and flooring where needed, then load systematically, securing everything in the vehicle. Your belongings are transported in purpose-equipped vehicles under goods in transit insurance.
At your new property, we unload items into their designated rooms and place furniture where requested. We can reassemble dismantled items and position larger pieces before we leave, so you are not left struggling with heavy furniture. We invite you to walk around and check you are satisfied before we finish.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Quotes are based on:
Most local moves in Vauxhall are priced either on a fixed-job basis or an hourly rate for smaller, flexible jobs. All costs are explained in advance, with no hidden charges for stairs or standard walking distances. Any potential extras, such as congestion or parking charges, are identified clearly in your quotation.
While hiring a van and asking friends may appear cheaper, it often leads to damaged items, delays and unnecessary stress. A professional removals team brings experience, safe lifting techniques, the right equipment and appropriate insurance.
We plan the move around access, building rules and time constraints, reducing the risk of fines or disputes. Your belongings are protected with blankets, straps and specialist handling, and our fully insured service provides peace of mind that casual, informal help simply cannot match.
Your possessions are important, both financially and emotionally. That is why our service is structured around strong protection and high standards:
We work to professional moving practices, communicate clearly and treat your property and belongings with care and respect at all times.
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture and fragile pieces are wrapped or covered, and we load with stability and weight distribution in mind. Floors and banisters receive protection where needed, especially in shared or managed buildings.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Wherever possible, we:
This approach helps to protect both your belongings and the environment.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving into your first flat, we handle everything from initial planning to final placement of your furniture. We are used to dealing with lift bookings, key collection timings and tight completion deadlines.
For businesses in Vauxhall, we provide planned office and commercial moves, often outside normal working hours to minimise disruption. Desks, IT equipment, stock and files are packed and moved in an organised way so you can get back to work quickly.
Sometimes moves are not planned months in advance. When availability allows, we offer same-day or short-notice removals. We focus on clear communication and realistic timescales, so even an urgent move is handled calmly and efficiently.
The cost depends mainly on how much you are moving, the distance between properties and the level of service you choose. Smaller local moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Factors such as access, parking, packing requirements and dismantling can also affect the price. Once we understand your move, we provide a clear written quotation with all expected charges listed so you can budget with confidence.
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice removals in and around Vauxhall. Availability will depend on the size of your move and our current bookings, so it is best to call as early as possible. For urgent moves, we focus on the essentials: safely moving your main furniture and key belongings first, then arranging follow-up trips if required. We will always be honest about what can realistically be achieved within your timeframe.
Yes. Our service includes goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved and public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to property or third parties. Insurance operates within specific terms and limits, which we are happy to explain before you book. You should also inform us of any particularly high-value items so we can ensure they are documented and appropriately protected. Your own home contents policy may provide additional cover, so it is worth checking with your insurer too.
A standard removals service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional removals team, loading and unloading of your belongings, and transport between the agreed addresses. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing and unpacking, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and out-of-hours or weekend moves. All inclusions and any agreed add-ons are set out in your quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
A basic man-and-van service typically provides a vehicle and driver with limited labour and often minimal protection or insurance. A professional removals service, like ours, includes trained staff, appropriate insurance, planning, protective equipment and a structured approach to your move. We survey where needed, assess access, advise on packing and manage the move from start to finish. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, offering a more reliable and accountable service than casual, ad-hoc transport options.
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at busy periods such as month-end and weekends, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy start times can change, so we try to be as flexible as possible. If your plans are uncertain, we can discuss provisional dates and options. Even if your move is very short notice, it is still worth contacting us, as we may have availability or cancellations we can use to fit you in.
