How our man and van service works
A simple, hourly service designed for smaller moves, collections, and straightforward transport
When man and van is the right choice
This service works best if:
- You’re already packed or mostly packed
- Furniture is dismantled or easy to move
- You need one, two, or three movers with a van
- You want a simple hourly rate with no fixed-price
- The move is local, small-scale, or time-sensitive
If a move requires extensive planning, complex access, or full packing, we’ll always advise if a full moving service would be more suitable.
How the price is calculated
Man and van services are charged by the hour, based on:
- Van size
- Number of movers required
Time is counted from arrival at the first address until unloading is complete. This keeps pricing fair and flexible, especially for smaller jobs.
We’ll advise how many movers are likely to be most efficient, so you’re not paying for more help than necessary.
Packing and furniture support (optional)
Most customers using man and van prefer to pack themselves to keep costs down. However, we can assist where needed:
- Moving fragile or heavy items
- Protecting furniture with moving blankets and wraps
- Simple dismantling and reassembly within the booked time
The more work carried out on the day, the longer the move will take and the higher the total cost. Packing in advance keeps things quick and affordable.
Goods in transit and public liability cover
We carry goods-in-transit and public liability insurance, covering items during handling and transport, subject to policy terms.
Even for hourly work, professionalism and responsibility remain the same.

Customer Testimonials
I booked Best London Removals for a last-minute man and van job across West London. They showed up right on time, handled my boxes and furniture with care, and everything was done in under three hours. No hidden costs, no stress. Highly recommend!
London
Used their man and van service to move between uni flats. Booking was super easy, the team arrived early, and they even helped dismantle my desk. For the price, the service was way beyond expectations.
Uxbridge
I’ve used man and van services before, but this was the first time I felt confident everything would arrive safely. Two movers, a clean van, polite and well-prepared. They even helped rearrange some furniture at the new place.

How is man and van priced?
Man and van services are charged by the hour, based on the van size and number of movers required.
Do I need to be fully packed?
It’s recommended. Most customers pack in advance to keep the move efficient and costs down. We can assist if needed, but additional work on the day increases time and cost.
Is this suitable for small flats or single items?
Yes. This service is ideal for studio flats, rooms, student moves, and single bulky items.
Can you dismantle and reassemble furniture?
Ideally, yes. Packing in advance helps keep the move quick and more cost effective. We can assist if required, but additional work on the day will increase the time and cost.
Do you charge extra for dismantling or packing?
No, as a man and van booking is based on time (price per hour). Everything we do — loading, unloading, dismantling, reassembling, and packing — fits within your booked time. The total cost depends only on how long the job takes.
Do you help with loading and unloading?
Yes. Carrying, loading, and unloading are the core parts of the service.
Are my items insured during the move?
Yes. Goods-in-transit and public liability cover apply during handling and transport.
