At Man and Van Hither Green, we provide reliable, carefully planned furniture removals for homes and businesses across Hither Green and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience, we move everything from single items to full houses, flats and offices, always with a focus on safety, protection and clear communication.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing, relocating your office or simply clearing space, our local team will handle your furniture as if it were our own. Every move is carried out by trained, professional staff and covered by goods in transit and public liability insurance.
Working daily in Hither Green means we know the area, access routes and parking restrictions inside out. From period terraces and maisonettes to new-build apartments and commercial premises, we understand the challenges of local moves – narrow staircases, limited parking, lift access and timed loading bays.
We plan your move around Hither Green’s streets and transport links to minimise disruption and delays. Our local knowledge helps us choose the best vehicle access points, avoid congestion where possible and coordinate with you or your building management to keep the day running smoothly.
Moving house within or to/from Hither Green? We handle full household furniture removals, including heavy, awkward and high-value items. We can disassemble and reassemble beds, wardrobes and other large furniture where required.
If you are moving in or out of a flat or house, our team can manage your furniture quickly and with minimal disruption to neighbours. We are used to working with tight stairwells, top-floor flats and strict move-in/move-out times.
We assist landlords with part- and full-furnishing, end-of-tenancy clearances and furniture swaps between properties. We can collect, deliver and position items so your property is ready for new tenants without you needing to be on site.
For offices, shops and other commercial premises, we offer office furniture removals, including desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving and reception furniture. We plan moves to reduce downtime and can work out of hours by arrangement.
Students moving into or out of Hither Green accommodation benefit from a cost-effective service for smaller loads. We can move beds, desks, wardrobes, chests of drawers and boxed belongings in a single, well-organised trip.
Our furniture removals service usually includes:
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, there are some items we either cannot move or must assess individually:
If you are unsure about any item, please mention it during the enquiry so we can advise you properly.
Contact us by phone or online with details of your move: addresses, access information, property size and the main items of furniture. We will ask a few practical questions so we can provide a clear, no-obligation quote. Pricing is transparent, with no hidden extras provided the information given is accurate.
For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Hither Green. We assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and the size/number of items. The survey lets us choose the right vehicle, crew and equipment, and confirm your final price in writing.
You can pack your own smaller items, or we can provide a packing service using quality boxes and packing materials. For furniture, we protect pieces with blankets, covers and, where needed, export wrap. We can disassemble large items such as wardrobes and beds, carefully labelling fixings for reassembly at your new property.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, prepares access routes and starts loading. Furniture is wrapped and secured in the vehicle using straps and protective blankets to prevent movement in transit. Our vehicles are maintained to a high standard and covered by goods in transit insurance for your peace of mind.
At your new address, we unload your furniture and place each item in the room you choose. If we have dismantled items, we will reassemble them as agreed. We aim to leave you with a usable, organised space rather than a pile of furniture in the hallway. Before we leave, we check that you are satisfied with furniture positions and that nothing is missing or damaged.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are typically based on:
For smaller moves, we may use a simple hourly rate with a minimum booking period; for larger moves we normally agree a fixed price. There are no surprise charges on the day, provided the scope of work has not changed from what was agreed. All costs are explained clearly in advance.
Moving furniture yourself or relying on a casual man-with-a-van may appear cheaper, but often leads to hidden costs: damage to furniture, injury, delays, or multiple trips. Our professional team brings the correct equipment, from trolleys and straps to protective covers, and knows how to move heavy and awkward items safely.
We also save you time and stress. With us, you will have a clear plan, agreed timings and a properly insured service. You avoid the risk of unreliable helpers, unsuitable vehicles and last-minute cancellations that can derail your moving day.
Man and Van Hither Green operates to recognised industry standards. We are fully covered with:
Our teams are trained in lifting techniques, furniture protection and safe loading practices. We carry out regular vehicle and equipment checks and follow clear procedures for handling, securing and documenting your items. If an issue does arise, we respond promptly and professionally.
We place a strong emphasis on the careful handling of your furniture. Items are wrapped, covered and carried with attention to doors, walls and floors to minimise scuffs and scrapes. Where needed, we can protect flooring and bannisters to reduce the risk of damage during the move.
We also take a responsible approach to materials and waste. Where possible, we reuse strong cartons and blankets rather than disposable alternatives. Any packaging we supply is chosen with durability and recyclability in mind, helping to reduce the environmental impact of your move without compromising on protection.
From studio flats to family homes, we handle complete furniture moves across Hither Green and beyond. We coordinate with your completion date or tenancy start, aiming to move you in one efficient visit so you can settle quickly.
Businesses rely on us for structured office moves: dismantling and moving desks, chairs and storage, then rebuilding and positioning them at the new site. We can carry out evening or weekend moves to reduce disruption to your operations.
Sometimes circumstances change at short notice. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day furniture removals in Hither Green. We will always be honest about what is realistic and work with you to find a practical solution.
The cost depends on the volume and type of furniture, distance between properties, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any extra services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller moves may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger household or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Once we understand what needs moving, we will provide a clear, itemised price with no hidden extras, provided the scope of work remains the same.
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or urgent furniture removals in Hither Green. Availability depends on existing bookings, the size of your move and the distance involved. If you need a short-notice service, contact us as early in the day as possible with details of your items and both addresses. We will quickly assess what is feasible and give you a realistic timeframe and price so you can decide whether it suits your plans.
Yes. Your furniture is protected by our goods in transit insurance while it is being loaded, transported and unloaded, subject to policy terms and conditions. We also hold public liability insurance to cover accidental damage to property or third parties. We will explain the key points of cover when you book and can confirm details in writing. You should let us know about any unusually valuable items so we can ensure they are appropriately documented and handled with additional care.
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional moving team, protective blankets and covers, careful loading, secure transport and placement of your furniture in the rooms you choose at the new property. We can also provide optional extras, such as packing materials, full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of larger items, and short-term storage. Everything that is included in your particular move will be clearly listed in your written quotation before you confirm your booking.
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often with limited equipment, no formal training and little or no insurance. By contrast, our professional removals service provides trained staff, appropriate vehicles, protective materials, documented procedures and full insurance cover. We plan your move in advance, assess access, and take responsibility for safely handling and securing your furniture. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs, giving you a more reliable and less stressful moving experience.
For best availability and pricing, we recommend booking as soon as your moving date is confirmed, ideally 1–3 weeks in advance for smaller moves and 3–4 weeks for full household or office relocations. However, we understand that dates can change, so we try to be flexible where possible. If you have an urgent or last-minute move, it is still worth contacting us, as we may have gaps or cancellations we can use to accommodate your requirements.
At Man and Van Hither Green, we provide straightforward, affordable student removals designed around real student life – tight budgets, awkward timeframes and small but important loads. Whether you are moving into halls, changing house shares, or heading home for the summer, our professional, local team makes the whole process easier and far less stressful.
We understand the specific challenges that come with student moves in and around Hither Green. Timetabled move-in days, limited parking, shared accommodation and last-minute plan changes are all part of the picture. Our crews are used to working around busy streets, restricted campus access and walk-up flats, and we carefully plan each move so your belongings travel safely and efficiently.
Every move is handled by a trained, fully insured team that treats your belongings as if they were their own – from laptops and textbooks to bikes and musical instruments.
Perfect if you are moving:
If you are helping a student move from the family home to accommodation in Hither Green or nearby, we can collect from your address and deliver directly to halls or their new flat, with careful protection of furniture, tech and personal items.
We regularly support renters and young professionals sharing with students, helping to move single rooms or part-loads without disrupting the whole household.
We assist landlords and agents who need student removals to clear or part-clear student properties between tenancies, ready for cleaning or redecoration.
We work with student accommodation providers, colleges and local businesses needing repeat or bulk moves of student furniture, equipment and supplies.
Our student removals service is designed for both small and medium-sized loads, including:
For safety and legal reasons, some things are excluded or require special arrangements:
If you are unsure about a specific item, just ask when you enquire and we will advise on the safest option.
Contact us by phone, email or online with your move date, addresses and a rough idea of what needs moving. We will ask a few simple questions about access, floors and parking, then provide a clear, written quote. No hidden extras and no pressure to book.
For most student moves, a quick virtual survey (photos or video call) is enough. For larger shared houses or when storage is involved, we may recommend an onsite visit in Hither Green or nearby. This helps us allocate the right size van and crew and make sure there are no surprises on the day.
You can pack your own belongings, or we can provide a packing service for an additional cost. We can also supply boxes, tape and packing materials in advance. On moving day, we protect furniture with covers and blankets and carefully wrap fragile items such as TVs and monitors.
Our trained team loads your items in a logical, secure way to minimise movement in transit. We use straps and protective padding inside the van. Your belongings are transported directly to your new address or storage facility, with updates if there are any delays on the road.
On arrival, we unload into the rooms you request – not just the hallway. We can assemble basic furniture (such as bed frames) by arrangement. Before we leave, we check you are happy with placement and that nothing is missing or damaged.
We know students need clarity and value. Our pricing is based on:
We provide fixed-price quotes wherever possible, especially for typical single-room or small flat moves. For more complex moves, we may use an hourly rate with clear minimum charges explained in advance. There are no surprise add-ons for stairs or evening moves unless agreed beforehand.
Moving yourself or relying on friends can seem cheaper, but it often costs more in time, stress and breakages. Our professional service offers several benefits:
By the time you factor in van hire, fuel, deposits, parking, and potential damage, using a professional removals team is often better value and far less hassle.
As an established local removals company in Hither Green, we take our responsibilities seriously. We are fully insured and operate to recognised industry standards:
We will explain what is covered and any limits or exclusions so you have complete clarity from the outset.
We treat every student move with care, regardless of size or budget. That means:
We are also mindful of sustainability. Where possible we:
We regularly help first-year students move into halls or purpose-built student accommodation, often with tight arrival slots. We coordinate timings with you and your family and ensure a smooth, quick unload so you can focus on settling in.
For students in shared houses or small flats, we can move a single room or multiple rooms at once. We keep common areas and neighbours in mind, working efficiently to avoid blocking entrances or stairwells.
If you are leaving your accommodation at the end of term, we can move your belongings home, to a new address, or into storage. This is ideal if you are going abroad or on placement and do not want to keep paying rent.
Plans can change suddenly, especially with course changes or accommodation issues. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or next-day student removals in Hither Green and surrounding areas, still carried out to our usual professional standards.
Costs vary depending on how much you are moving and the distance involved, but student moves are usually at the lower end of our price range. A small van load within Hither Green or nearby can often be completed for a fixed, student-friendly fee, especially if access is straightforward. Larger moves or longer distances may be charged by the hour or on a fixed quote after a brief survey. We always provide clear pricing upfront, with no hidden extras for stairs or timing unless agreed in advance.
Yes, we often help with urgent or last-minute student removals, including same-day moves, subject to van and crew availability. If your plans change unexpectedly, contact us as early as you can and we will check what we can offer. Even for urgent bookings, we will ask basic questions about access and item volume so we can send the right vehicle. While advance booking is recommended, especially at the end of term, we always try to accommodate genuine short-notice needs.
Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care, and we also hold public liability cover for work in halls, flats and houses. Insurance is not a substitute for good packing, so we still recommend sturdy boxes and proper wrapping of fragile items. We will explain the key terms, limits and exclusions when you book, so you understand exactly what is covered. If you have unusually high-value items, please tell us so we can advise on the best approach.
Our standard service includes the van, fuel, a professional driver and one or more trained movers, plus loading, safe transport and unloading into your chosen rooms. We supply protective blankets and securing straps as standard. Optional extras include packing services, dismantling and reassembling simple furniture, and providing boxes and packing materials. We are happy to tailor the service to your needs and budget, whether you want simple transport only or full packing and set-up support at your new address.
A casual man-and-van may offer transport only, often without formal insurance, training or clear terms. Our service is a professional removals operation: trained staff, fully insured cover, proper equipment and planned timings. We also provide written quotes and booking confirmations so you know exactly what to expect. For students with important items such as laptops, coursework and sentimental belongings, having a reliable, accountable removals company gives far greater peace of mind than an informal arrangement.
For peak periods such as the start and end of term, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance to secure your ideal date and time. For quieter periods, a few days’ notice is often enough, and we can sometimes accommodate next-day or even same-day requests. If your dates are not fixed, we can still provide a provisional quote and hold a slot temporarily in some cases. The earlier you contact us, the more flexible we can be with timing and pricing.
At Man and Van Hither Green, we specialise in stress-free flat removals across Hither Green and the surrounding areas. Whether you are moving a studio, a top-floor flat with no lift, or a large maisonette, our experienced team plans every move carefully so your belongings are moved safely, on time and within budget.
Flat and apartment moves come with their own challenges – stairwells, tight corridors, lift restrictions, parking rules and building access. As a local, professional removals company, we handle these details every day in Hither Green, so you do not have to.
We work with building management, arrange parking where required and protect communal areas while we work. From a few items to a full flat clearance, we tailor our service to your property, your budget and your timescales.
If you are selling or buying a flat in Hither Green, we provide a complete moving service, including full packing, dismantling furniture and careful handling of larger items. We coordinate with your completion date to minimise downtime and disruption.
We regularly help tenants move between rented flats, HMOs and shared houses. We understand end-of-tenancy pressures and can work around check-in and check-out times. Our part-load and small move options are ideal if you are on a tighter budget or moving a one-bedroom flat.
For landlords and agents, we offer reliable furniture moves, part-clearances and full flat clearances between tenancies. We can remove unwanted items, move in new furniture and ensure access routes are protected and left tidy.
Businesses using flats as offices, studios or treatment rooms benefit from our office and equipment moves. We move desks, IT equipment and stock safely, with minimal downtime and flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends by arrangement.
Students moving to or from Hither Green often do not need a full house move. Our cost-effective student removals cover boxes, small furniture and personal belongings, with options for shared loads to keep costs down.
For safety and insurance reasons, there are some things we are unable to carry:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise before you book.
Everything starts with a quick conversation. You tell us about your current flat, your new address, access details and what you need moved. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining exactly what is included, any options available and likely timings.
For anything beyond the smallest moves, we carry out a brief survey. This may be via video call or an onsite visit in Hither Green. We look at staircases, lifts, parking, door widths and any fragile or awkward items. This step ensures the correct vehicle size, number of movers and equipment are booked for the day.
We offer both full packing and part packing services, or you can pack your own belongings if you prefer. Where we pack, we use quality boxes and protective materials for fragile items. We can dismantle wardrobes, beds and other large furniture and label everything clearly for straightforward unpacking at the new flat.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and bannisters as needed and loads the vehicle in a logical, secure way. Items are wrapped and strapped to prevent movement during transit. We plan the route in advance, considering Hither Green traffic patterns and any time restrictions for loading or unloading.
At your new flat, we unload carefully and place items in the rooms you specify. We reassemble furniture we dismantled, position large pieces where you want them and ensure you are happy before we leave. We take away our packing materials where practicable, leaving your new home as tidy as possible.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. For most flat moves in Hither Green, we quote a fixed price based on:
Your quote will set out what is included and any potential extras, so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden charges for standard moves when the information provided is accurate.
Moving from a flat can be physically demanding and logistically complex. Lifts, stairwells, parking bays and tight corners all increase the risk of damage or injury if things are not handled correctly. A professional removals team brings the right equipment, vehicle and experience to complete the move efficiently and safely.
Compared with hiring a casual man-with-a-van or doing it yourself, you benefit from trained staff, planning support, appropriate protective materials and proper insurance. This reduces the risk of damaged belongings, strained relationships with neighbours or unexpected delays on moving day.
Man and Van Hither Green operates to clear, professional standards to protect you and your belongings:
Details of cover levels and conditions are available on request; we are always open about what is and is not insured so you can make informed decisions.
We treat every flat move as if we were moving our own belongings. Furniture is wrapped, fragile items are packed securely, and communal areas are protected with covers and floor runners where required. We work quietly and respectfully to minimise disruption to neighbours.
Where possible, we reuse strong cartons and recycling-friendly packing materials, and we plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage. We can also advise on responsible disposal or donation of unwanted items, helping you cut waste during your move.
Typical local moves involve collecting from a first or second-floor flat, handling parking and stair access, and delivering to another flat nearby. We coordinate timings to fit around your key collection and any building rules on moving times.
Some clients run small offices or studios from flats. We move desks, IT equipment, stock and filing systems with care, ensuring work can resume quickly at your new address.
Life does not always give much notice. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day flat removals in Hither Green. We focus on the essentials, getting your key items moved safely and quickly.
Costs vary depending on the size of your flat, volume of belongings, access (lifts, stairs, parking), distance between properties and whether you need packing and dismantling services. Studio and one-bedroom flat moves are usually at the lower end of our pricing, while larger, more complex moves cost more. We provide a clear, written quote after discussing your move or carrying out a brief survey, so you know exactly what is included before you commit.
Where our schedule permits, we can accommodate same-day or short-notice flat removals in Hither Green. Availability depends on the size of the move and how many teams and vehicles are already booked. For urgent moves, we may focus on your essential items first, with additional trips or services arranged if required. Contact us as soon as you know you need to move; the earlier you get in touch, the more options we are likely to have for you.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items while they are being moved in our vehicles, as well as public liability cover while we are working in your property and communal areas. Like any policy, there are limits and exclusions, particularly for high-value items, boxed goods you have packed yourself and certain fragile items. We will explain the key points when you book, and you are welcome to ask for full terms so you can decide if you require any additional personal cover.
Our core service includes a suitably sized vehicle, a trained removals team, protective equipment, loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. At your request, we can add packing, supply of materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and disposal of unwanted items (within regulations). Your quote will clearly state what is and is not included, so there are no surprises on moving day. We are happy to tailor the level of service to your budget and requirements.
While simple man-and-van services can work for very small jobs, our flat removals are designed to be more comprehensive and reliable. You get professional planning, an organised survey where needed, trained movers, appropriate protective materials and full insurance. We are used to dealing with building rules, neighbours and access issues, reducing the risk of delays or damage. In short, you are paying for experience, accountability and peace of mind, not just a vehicle and a bit of muscle.
For the best choice of dates, especially at busy times like month-end and weekends, we recommend booking your flat removal 2–4 weeks in advance. That said, we understand that exchange dates and tenancy start times can change at short notice. If your plans are not yet fixed, we can pencil in a provisional date and confirm once things are clearer. Even if your move is very soon, it is still worth contacting us – we will always try to fit you in if we can.
Moving a piano is very different from moving ordinary furniture. At Man and Van Hither Green, we provide a specialist piano removals service across Hither Green and the surrounding South East London areas, using the correct equipment, techniques and protection to move your instrument safely.
As an experienced local removals company, we understand the weight, balance and fragility of both upright and grand pianos. Our teams are trained to protect the casing, legs, pedals and internal mechanism while navigating tight hallways, steps and doorways common in Hither Green homes and flats.
We plan every move carefully, choose the right access route, and use purpose-made equipment to minimise risk. Whether you are moving your piano across town, between rooms, or to storage, we treat it as a valuable musical instrument – not just another heavy item.
Moving house within or out of Hither Green and need your piano transported alongside your household goods? We integrate piano removal into your main move or handle it as a standalone job, ensuring it is moved last out and first in where possible.
If you live in a flat or rented house, stairways and access can be challenging. Our professional team surveys the route, protects communal areas, and makes sure your piano move complies with building rules and landlord requirements.
We support landlords and letting agents who need a piano removed, relocated or placed into storage between tenancies. We work considerately to avoid damage to floors, walls and communal spaces, reducing the risk of disputes.
We move pianos for schools, churches, studios, hotels, theatres and rehearsal spaces. Whether you are rearranging a performance area, relocating premises or receiving a piano delivery, we can schedule moves around your operating hours.
Hither Green and nearby areas are popular with music students. We offer sensible, transparent pricing for students moving between term-time accommodation, practice rooms and home addresses.
To keep your move safe and compliant, we generally do not transport:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise before move day.
You contact us with basic details: piano type, current address, destination address, floor levels, lift availability and parking. We ask simple questions to understand access and any constraints. Based on this, we give you a clear, no-obligation quotation explaining what is included and any factors that might affect the price.
For most piano moves we carry out a short video or photo survey. For larger or more complex jobs (e.g. grand pianos, tight staircases or unusual access), we may arrange an onsite survey in Hither Green. This allows us to measure doorways, assess stairs and plan the safest route, as well as confirming manpower and equipment requirements.
On the day, our trained team arrives with protective covers, straps and specialist equipment. We protect floors where necessary, remove any detachable parts such as music stands or pedals where appropriate, and wrap the piano in padded blankets and/or custom covers. For grands, we can detach and protect the legs and lyre in accordance with best practice.
The piano is carefully manoeuvred using piano dollies, skids and ramps as required. We secure it inside our vehicle using heavy-duty straps to prevent movement in transit. Our vehicles are purpose-suited and covered by goods in transit insurance, giving you reassurance while your instrument is on the road.
At the destination, we reverse the process just as carefully. We place the piano in your chosen room and position, subject to safe access, and remove all protective materials. If agreed in advance, we can move it between rooms within the property or adjust the final position to suit your layout.
Every piano and property is different, so we price each move individually. Our quotes are based on:
We provide a clear breakdown so you know what you are paying for. There are no hidden call-out fees, and any potential extras (such as out-of-hours work, additional manpower, or special access equipment) are discussed and agreed in advance.
Attempting to move a piano with friends or a casual man-and-van can lead to injury, property damage and, critically, damage to the instrument’s frame and action. Pianos are heavy but also finely balanced, with delicate internal components that do not respond well to sudden jolts or incorrect lifting.
Our professional piano removals service provides:
For a valuable or sentimental instrument, the cost of repair far outweighs the modest saving of a DIY approach.
Man and Van Hither Green operates to recognised professional standards for specialist removals:
We are happy to provide confirmation of our insurance on request. We work carefully, communicate clearly, and treat your home, building and instrument with respect at all times.
Every piano move focuses on protection first. We use thick transit blankets, padded covers and appropriate strapping to shield polished surfaces and corners. Floors, stair rails and door frames are protected where needed to avoid scuffs and impact marks.
Where possible, we use reusable protective materials and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. We maintain our vehicles for reliability and fuel efficiency, and we aim to consolidate journeys when it does not compromise service quality, helping to limit our environmental footprint.
When you are moving house, your piano is often one of the last items to move out and the first to be set up in your new home. We coordinate with your wider removal schedule so the piano move fits smoothly into the overall plan.
We help schools, rehearsal studios, churches and offices move pianos between sites or within the same building. Moves can be arranged outside teaching hours or business hours to minimise disruption to staff, students and visitors.
Sometimes a piano needs to be moved quickly – for example, before building works, flooring replacement, or an unexpected tenancy change. Subject to availability, we can offer same-day or next-day piano removals in Hither Green and nearby areas.
The cost depends on the type of piano, access at each property and the distance between addresses. Upright pianos on ground-floor to ground-floor moves are usually the most straightforward and therefore the most economical. Moves involving multiple flights of stairs, tight turns, or grand pianos typically require more manpower and time. Once we have basic details and, if needed, photos or a video survey, we provide a fixed, transparent quotation so you know the cost before you commit.
In many cases, yes. Our ability to offer same-day or next-day piano removals depends on schedule and crew availability, as we will not compromise safety by rushing or under-staffing a job. If you need an urgent move in or around Hither Green, call us as early in the day as possible with full details. We will let you know promptly what we can do, any time constraints, and provide a clear price for urgent work before you confirm the booking.
Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our vehicle, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to third-party property. Insurance is there as a safety net; our main focus is on preventing incidents through careful planning, proper equipment and trained staff. If you have an especially high-value or rare instrument, let us know so we can confirm that cover limits are appropriate and discuss any additional precautions.
Our service typically includes the provision of a suitable vehicle, trained movers, all standard protective blankets and covers, loading, secure transport and careful placement of the piano in the new location. We can also move associated items like piano stools and small accessories. Where necessary and agreed in advance, we can detach legs on grand pianos and provide extra protection. Our quotation will specify what is included, and any optional extras such as additional internal moves or out-of-hours work.
A casual man-and-van service may not have the specialist equipment, experience or insurance needed for pianos. Our teams use piano dollies, skids, straps and heavy-duty covers specifically designed for large instruments. They are trained in correct lifting techniques and understanding weight distribution. We carry fully insured cover tailored for removals. This combination greatly reduces the risk of damage or injury. With a valuable or sentimental instrument, professional handling provides peace of mind that a general man-and-van simply cannot match.
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time slot, such as a weekend or evening. This allows us to arrange the right crew and, if necessary, complete a survey. However, we understand that circumstances change, and we do keep some flexibility for short-notice jobs. Even if your move is urgent, it is always worth contacting us – we will tell you honestly what availability we have and how we can help.
At Man and Van Hither Green, our man with van service is designed for fast, efficient, and carefully managed moves across Hither Green and the surrounding areas. Run by experienced local movers, we combine reliable vehicles, trained staff and proper insurance to give you a smooth, stress-free move – whether you’re shifting a single item across town or relocating a whole flat.
Our man with van in Hither Green is a flexible, professional moving option that bridges the gap between hiring a full removals crew and doing everything yourself. You get a skilled driver-mover (and extra porters if needed), a clean, well-maintained van, and all the handling help required to move your belongings safely.
We tailor crew size, van size and timing to suit your requirements, keeping the service efficient and cost-effective.
Being based in Hither Green means we know the area inside out – from parking restrictions and controlled zones to the best routes at rush hour. We’re used to dealing with:
This local knowledge helps us plan moves realistically, avoid delays and handle your belongings with care from door to door.
Our professional man with van teams commonly move:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we generally cannot transport:
If you’re unsure whether an item is suitable, we’ll advise clearly at quotation stage.
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with your addresses, dates and a brief description of what you’re moving. We’ll ask a few focused questions about access, floors, and any heavy or fragile items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with either an hourly rate or a fixed price, depending on the job.
For larger moves, we’ll carry out a short video or onsite survey. This lets us confirm volume, access, parking and any special care items. It also helps us choose the right van size and number of movers so that move day runs to schedule. For small or straightforward jobs, a detailed call and photos are usually enough.
You can pack your own items, or choose our packing service if you’d like us to handle it. We use quality boxes, wrapping paper and bubble wrap, and we label everything clearly. Whether we pack or you do, we’ll advise on how to prepare appliances, dismantle furniture where necessary and secure drawers and doors for safe transit.
On the day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and walls where needed, and systematically loads the van. We use blankets, straps and trolleys to prevent damage and to move heavy items safely. Your goods are then transported directly to the new address using sensible, well-planned routes to minimise delays.
At your destination, we unload, place items in the rooms you choose and reassemble any furniture we dismantled as part of the move. We work with you to position larger pieces sensibly so you’re not left lifting heavy furniture after we leave. Before we go, we do a final check with you to ensure everything needed has been unloaded and is in the right place.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. For most man with van Hither Green jobs we offer:
Your price depends on:
All costs are explained in advance so you know exactly what you’re paying for, with no hidden extras added on the day.
Hiring a casual van or doing it yourself may look cheaper on paper, but it often leads to damaged furniture, injuries, or multiple stressful trips. With Man and Van Hither Green you benefit from:
In many cases, our efficient approach works out similar in cost to DIY once fuel, van hire, time off work and potential damage are considered – with far less hassle.
Your belongings are important, so we treat them that way. Our service includes:
We follow sensible, industry-standard handling practices and keep our vans clean and well maintained. If you need specific confirmation of cover for your building or managing agent, we can provide documentation on request.
We aim to move your belongings safely and responsibly. Our approach includes:
By combining good planning with practical protection, we minimise both damage risk and waste.
Ideal for studio, one- and two-bedroom properties where a full-scale removals crew may be more than you need. We can handle everything from boxed personal items to bulky furniture and white goods, ensuring you’re out on time and set up promptly at your new place.
For small offices, clinics, shops and freelancers, our man with van option offers a practical way to move desks, chairs, IT equipment and stock with minimal disruption. We can work outside normal hours where arranged in advance to help keep your business trading.
When plans change quickly – a tenancy ends sooner than expected, a buyer pulls forward a completion date, or an item needs collecting the same day – we can often provide same-day or short-notice man with van support. While availability depends on our schedule, we always do our best to accommodate genuine urgent requests.
Costs depend on how much you’re moving, the distance, and access at each property. Smaller local jobs are usually charged at an hourly rate, which includes the van and at least one mover. Larger flat or small house moves may be offered at a fixed price once we understand the volume and any access challenges. We’ll always discuss options with you and provide a clear quotation before you commit, so you can compare it easily with your budget and other options.
In many cases, yes. If we have a van and crew available, we’re happy to handle same-day or short-notice moves in Hither Green and nearby areas. Availability is naturally better on weekdays and outside peak times such as month-end and weekends. The best approach is to call us as soon as you know you need help, with details of what needs moving and by when. We’ll confirm quickly whether we can assist and provide an accurate price for the urgent booking.
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover for peace of mind at both ends of the move. This is designed to cover genuine accidental damage or loss during the course of our work. We’ll explain any limits or exclusions at quotation stage, and if you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss the best way to handle these and whether additional cover or special packing is recommended.
Our standard service includes the van, fuel, a professional driver-mover, and all the handling and loading help agreed in your quote. We supply protective blankets and basic securing equipment as standard. Optional extras include additional movers, packing services, packing materials, and furniture dismantling and reassembly. We set everything out clearly in writing before you book, so you know exactly what is and isn’t included, and you can choose the right level of support for your move and your budget.
With basic van hire, you drive, lift, load and unload everything yourself, and you’re usually not covered for damage to your belongings. Our man with van Hither Green service includes an experienced driver-mover, proper handling equipment, and insurance cover. We know how to move heavy and awkward items safely, protect property, and pack the van so nothing shifts in transit. The result is a quicker, smoother move with far less risk of injury to you or damage to your possessions and the buildings involved.
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially for weekends, month-end and peak moving periods. This gives you the best choice of time slots and helps us plan the right crew and vehicle for your job. That said, we understand moves aren’t always predictable, and we’ll always try to help with short-notice enquiries where our schedule allows. The earlier you can contact us with dates and details, the easier it is to secure your preferred time.
At Man and Van Hither Green, we specialise in same day removals for local customers who need a fast, reliable and well-organised move. Whether you have been let down by another mover, have a last-minute completion date, or simply need everything sorted today, our experienced team can step in and get you moved safely and efficiently.
Our same day service is a fully managed removals solution, not just a van and a pair of hands. You get a professional, trained team, suitable vehicles, protective equipment and clear communication from start to finish. We work across Hither Green and surrounding areas, handling urgent moves with the same care and planning as pre-booked jobs, only on a much tighter timeline.
Because we are based in Hither Green, we know the local streets, parking restrictions, access issues and the quirks of local housing stock. From Victorian terraces with tight staircases to modern flats with lift restrictions, we plan your move around the realities on the ground. This local knowledge saves time and reduces stress, especially when you are working to same-day deadlines.
For homeowners facing last-minute exchange and completion, or a chain change at short notice, our same day removals team can step in, coordinate timings with your schedule and move your contents quickly and safely.
Tenants often have to move fast when a tenancy ends suddenly or a new property becomes available earlier than expected. We help renters in Hither Green move on the same day, avoiding extra rent or storage costs.
Landlords may need urgent clearances between tenancies. Our same day removals service can remove furniture and contents quickly so cleaners, decorators or new tenants can move in without delay.
From small offices to local shops, businesses sometimes need to relocate or clear premises at very short notice. We offer organised same day office and commercial moves, prioritising minimal downtime and secure handling of equipment and documents.
Students in and around Hither Green can find themselves needing to move halls or house-shares urgently. Our team offers affordable, fast moves for smaller loads while still providing a fully insured, reliable service.
Our service is flexible, but typically includes:
We regularly move:
For safety, legal or practical reasons, some items are excluded or need prior agreement:
If you are unsure about an item, we will advise you clearly during the enquiry stage.
Even on a tight schedule, we follow a structured process to keep your move controlled and predictable.
You contact us by phone or online and explain what needs to be moved, from where to where, and by when. We will ask key questions about access, floors, parking, and volume. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included and any possible extras.
For same day moves, we normally carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or video, or a rapid onsite visit if time allows. This helps us assess volume, special items, parking requirements and any risks. Accurate information at this stage reduces surprises later and keeps your move on schedule.
Where you have pre-packed, we will check boxes and items are safe to move. If needed and time allows, we can provide packing assistance and materials for fragile or awkward items. We bring blankets, straps, trolleys and protective covers for furniture, mattresses and appliances, and label key items for easy placement at your new address.
Our trained team loads items methodically, using professional lifting techniques and protective equipment. We optimise the load to prevent movement in transit and protect your belongings and property. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the road.
On arrival, we check access and then unload systematically, placing items into the rooms you request. We can rebuild standard furniture and position larger items before we leave. Before we depart, we walk through with you to ensure nothing has been missed or misplaced.
Same day moves are priced according to:
We provide a clear quote before we start. There are no hidden call-out fees. Any potential additional charges (for extra stops, waiting time due to key delays, or extra packing) are explained upfront so you can make an informed decision.
On a same day move, problems are magnified. Using a casual man-and-van or trying to do it yourself can lead to damaged items, delays, parking issues and even injury. With Man and Van Hither Green you get:
This reduces stress, risk and the chance of something going badly wrong on an already pressured day.
We take our responsibilities seriously and work to professional standards at all times:
We follow clear procedures for handling claims, though our focus is always on preventing damage in the first place through careful planning and handling.
Even when working quickly, we never cut corners on care. Furniture is wrapped and protected, doorways and bannisters are guarded where necessary, and we use the right number of staff to move heavy items safely.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible, we use re-usable crates, durable blankets instead of excessive single-use plastics, and efficient route planning to minimise fuel use. If you have unwanted items in good condition, we can discuss taking them to local charities or recycling centres rather than landfill.
Whatever the situation, we will give you honest advice on what can be achieved safely within the time available.
Costs depend on the size of your move, distance, access and how many movers and vehicles are required. As a guide, smaller flat moves may be charged on a fixed price or hourly basis, while full house or office moves are usually quoted as a set fee. Same day work can attract a premium due to scheduling and staffing demands, but we always explain charges clearly before you commit. The quickest way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with basic details of your move.
We do our best to accommodate same day requests, and often can, but availability depends on our schedule, team capacity and vehicle availability on that particular day. The earlier you contact us, the better the chance we can fit you in, especially for larger properties. Even if we are fully booked, we will let you know honestly and, where possible, suggest realistic alternatives such as next-morning moves or partial same day assistance for key items.
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work at your property. Insurance is not a substitute for care, so our team still packs and handles everything carefully to prevent damage in the first place. We will explain any limits, exclusions or conditions in plain language before the move, and we encourage you to highlight high-value or particularly fragile items in advance.
A typical same day move includes collection, loading, transport, unloading and basic placement of your belongings in your new property. We also provide protective blankets, trolleys and straps as standard. Subject to time and prior agreement, we can add services such as disassembly and reassembly of furniture and limited packing assistance for fragile items. Packing materials, long carries, extra stops or storage can be included but may affect the price, so we discuss these with you during the quote stage.
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without formal training, written terms or meaningful insurance. Our service is a professional removals operation: experienced, trained staff, suitable vehicles, planning, protective equipment and documented cover for your goods. We manage the whole move, not just the driving, and we take responsibility for safe handling, timing and communication. This difference is especially important on same day moves, where there is little room for delays or mistakes.
For a planned move, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, but with same day removals that is not always possible. If you need urgent help, contact us as early in the day as you can. Morning calls usually give us more flexibility to rearrange teams and vehicles. For larger properties or office moves, even a day’s notice can make a big difference, but we will always be honest about what we can achieve within the time and resources available.
Man and Van Hither Green provides a reliable, locally based man and a van service covering Hither Green and the surrounding SE London areas. As an experienced removals operator, I run a small, hands-on team, so you deal with movers who actually do this work every day – not a call centre.
Our service bridges the gap between a casual van hire and a full-scale removals crew. You get a clean, properly equipped van, a trained local driver, and extra porters when needed. Everything is planned, itemised and protected, with goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for your peace of mind.
We handle anything from a single bulky item to a full flat or small house move, always aiming for minimal disruption and clear communication from first enquiry to final box placed.
Operating daily in Hither Green means we know the streets, parking spots and building layouts extremely well. We understand:
This local knowledge keeps your move efficient and reduces the risk of delays or parking problems on the day.
Ideal for smaller house moves, partial moves, or when you are downsizing within Hither Green or nearby areas. We can move selected rooms, heavy items, or everything if it fits within our van capacity.
Perfect for studio, 1-bed and 2-bed flats. We regularly help tenants move between rented properties, ensuring stairwells and communal areas are protected and left clean for check-out.
We assist landlords with furniture moves, furnished let setups, and the removal of unwanted items between tenancies. We can coordinate with agents and key-holding services to simplify access.
Small offices, shops and consultants use our man and van service to move desks, stock, archive boxes and equipment. We can work early mornings, evenings or weekends to minimise disruption.
Students moving to or from Hither Green benefit from a cost-effective service for boxes, suitcases, and a small amount of furniture. We can group smaller loads or offer off-peak slots to keep costs sensible.
Our man and a van service typically covers:
There are some items we cannot safely carry or insure, including:
If you are unsure about any item, mention it when you enquire and we will advise.
You contact us with basic details: addresses, property type, access, move date and a rough list of items. We respond promptly with a guide price or request more details if needed. Where possible, we offer a fixed-price quote so you know exactly what you will pay.
For anything more than a few items, we recommend a short video call survey or photo-based survey. For larger flat or house moves in Hither Green, we can visit in person. This allows us to check parking, stairs, lift access and any awkward items so we can send the right size van and team.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide packing materials and a packing service at extra cost. Either way, we advise on labelling boxes and dismantling larger furniture in advance where possible. On the day, we protect key items with blankets, covers and shrink wrap, and we bring tools for basic disassembly.
Our professional movers load the van methodically, securing everything with straps and blankets. We take particular care with fragile or awkward items, ensuring they are positioned safely. Once loaded, we travel directly to your destination using sensible routes; for longer trips, we keep you updated on our ETA.
On arrival, we unload items into your chosen rooms, placing furniture where you want it within reason. We can reassemble furniture that we dismantled, and do a final walk through with you to check that everything is in the correct place before we leave.
We structure our pricing to be clear and predictable. Typical options include:
Prices depend on:
There are no hidden extras. Any parking charges, congestion or ULEZ costs are explained in advance so your final bill matches your quote.
It can be tempting to hire a van or ask a friend, but using a professional man and a van service in Hither Green offers clear advantages:
Instead of risking damage to your belongings, property or yourself, you hand the work over to a team that does this every day.
We operate with clear standards and proper cover to protect you and your belongings:
We use condition notes for existing damage where appropriate and follow straightforward claims procedures in the rare event something goes wrong. You will always know who is responsible for what at each stage of the move.
We take pride in careful handling and a sensible environmental approach:
Our aim is to provide a service that is not only safe and reliable, but also respectful of your home, your neighbours and the wider environment.
If you are moving from one local property to another, our man and van service can often complete everything in a single run. We coordinate closely with keys, completion times and access to keep the day as calm as possible.
For small businesses, we move desks, chairs, computers and files, making sure everything is labelled and placed correctly at the new address so your team can get back to work quickly.
Where schedules allow, we can assist with same-day or next-day jobs – for example, last-minute tenancy changes or urgent collection of bulky purchases. Contact us as early as you can and we will confirm realistic options.
Costs depend on how much you are moving, access at each property, distance and the number of movers required. Smaller jobs are often charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger or clearly defined moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. To give you an accurate figure, we will ask for a brief inventory, addresses and preferred date. Once we have these details, we will confirm a clear price with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what to budget.
We can often help with same-day or very short-notice moves in Hither Green, especially on weekdays or outside peak times. Availability depends on existing bookings and the size of your move. If your job is urgent, call or message with full details as soon as possible, including addresses and a rough list of items. We will quickly confirm whether we can accommodate you, offer alternative time slots, or suggest the most efficient way to complete the move within your deadline.
Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being handled and transported by our team, subject to standard terms and exclusions. We also hold public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to buildings or third parties. We will explain the key points when you book, including any limits on single high-value items. For particularly valuable possessions, we may recommend extra protection or that you carry them personally for added peace of mind.
Our standard service includes the van, fuel, a professional driver-mover, loading, secure transport and unloading into your chosen rooms. We bring moving blankets, straps and basic tools for simple dismantling where required. Optional extras include additional movers, packing services and packing materials. We will set out exactly what is included in your quote, along with any potential additional costs such as parking, congestion or ULEZ charges, so there are no surprises on the day of your move.
A professional man and a van service offers structured planning, proper equipment and insurance, whereas a casual operator may simply provide transport. We conduct surveys, assess access, and allocate the right size van and team. Your belongings are protected with blankets and covers, loaded methodically, and insured while in transit. You receive written confirmation of your booking and clear pricing. This reduces the risk of delays, damage or last-minute cancellations that can occur with informal or uninsured services.
For weekend or month-end moves, we recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks ahead to secure your preferred slot, especially during busy periods. For smaller or local weekday jobs in Hither Green, we can often accommodate bookings made a few days in advance. That said, we will always try to help with shorter notice where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we have on dates, times and pricing, and the easier it is to plan your move properly.

With years of hands-on experience and a trained team of local movers, we handle everything from small flats to large family homes with care, planning and attention to detail.
Our removals service covers every stage of your move, from initial planning to final placement of furniture in your new property. We combine a friendly, personal approach with professional standards, so you get the efficiency of a larger removals company with the flexibility of a local specialist.
Every move is carefully assessed so we can allocate the right vehicle, the right team and the right equipment. We protect your belongings, your property and your time, ensuring your move runs smoothly and on schedule.
Being based in Hither Green means we know the local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. This local knowledge helps us plan the most efficient access for your move, avoid delays, and manage any restrictions around flats, one-way systems or loading bays.
We carry out house removals across Hither Green, Lewisham, Catford, Blackheath, Lee and the wider South East London area, handling both short local moves and longer-distance relocations.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating, we provide a complete removal service tailored to owners of houses, bungalows and maisonettes. We can manage full household moves, including large furniture, white goods and garden items.
If you are moving between rented properties, we offer flexible small and medium removals that fit around your check-out and check-in times. We are used to working with managing agents and landlords, and we always protect walls, floors and stairwells to avoid end-of-tenancy issues.
We support landlords who need part-removals or full clearances between tenancies. This can include removing old furniture, moving in new items, or transferring contents between properties you own.
Smaller offices and local businesses in Hither Green use our office and commercial removals service when relocating or reorganising. We can move desks, filing cabinets, stock and equipment, ensuring minimal disruption to your trading hours.
Students moving into or out of halls or shared houses benefit from our student removals option – ideal for moving boxes, personal belongings, small furniture and bikes between home and university accommodation.
Our standard house removals service typically covers:
For safety and insurance reasons, there are some items we usually cannot transport:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you during your quote or survey.
You contact us with basic details of your move – addresses, dates, property size and any special items. We discuss your needs and provide an initial estimate or fixed quote depending on the information available. All charges, including any potential extras, are clearly explained upfront.
For most full house removals, we recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Hither Green and nearby areas. We assess access, parking, number of rooms, volume of items and any dismantling required. This allows us to confirm a realistic price and allocate appropriate staff and vehicles.
You can choose between packing yourself or using our professional packing service. If we pack, we bring quality boxes, tape and wrapping materials and prepare everything systematically, labelling boxes by room. Even when you pack, we can still provide materials and advice to keep your belongings safe in transit.
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, protects floors where necessary and begins carefully loading your items. Furniture is wrapped or covered, and fragile items are positioned securely. We use purpose-built removal vehicles, equipped with blankets and securing straps, for safe transport to your new address.
At your new property, we unload systematically into the rooms you specify, placing larger furniture where you want it. If dismantling and reassembly has been agreed, we rebuild furniture before we leave. We complete a final check with you to ensure everything has been delivered and positioned to your satisfaction.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. For most house removals in Hither Green, we work on either a fixed-price quote based on the survey, or an hourly rate for smaller, more flexible jobs.
Your quote will usually reflect:
There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs (for example, congestion or parking charges) are discussed in advance so you can budget with confidence.
Hiring a professional removals team offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van service:
Many customers find that, once van hire, fuel, packing materials and time off work are taken into account, professional removals represent good value as well as peace of mind.
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised industry standards for domestic removals.
We are happy to explain our cover in more detail and provide confirmation of insurance on request.
Looking after your belongings is central to what we do. We use protective blankets, mattress covers and securing straps, and we take time to plan how best to move larger or awkward items without damaging walls, floors or staircases.
We also aim to work in a more sustainable way. Where possible, we reuse sturdy removals boxes, encourage customers to return materials for future use, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. For unwanted items in good condition, we can direct you towards local reuse and donation options in and around Hither Green.
Most of our work involves families and individuals moving within Hither Green and nearby areas. Typically we handle full contents over one or two days, with packing the day before and moving on completion day. We coordinate timing with your estate agent or solicitor where needed.
Local businesses use us for out-of-hours or weekend moves to minimise downtime. We move workstations, stock and equipment, setting everything up at the new premises ready for trading.
Sometimes moves come up at short notice – a tenancy ending unexpectedly or a rapid completion date. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day and next-day removals in Hither Green, prioritising essential items and working efficiently to meet tight deadlines.
The cost depends mainly on the size of your property, the volume of items, distance between addresses and any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. Smaller flat moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while full house removals are usually quoted at a fixed price following a survey. We always provide a clear written quote before you commit, outlining exactly what is included. This helps you compare options fairly and avoid unexpected extras on moving day.
We can often accommodate urgent or same-day moves in Hither Green, depending on our existing bookings and the size of the job. Short-notice work tends to be best suited to smaller properties or part-loads, but we will always do our best to help. If we cannot take on your entire move at short notice, we may be able to move your most important items first and schedule the remainder soon after. Contact us as early as possible so we can advise on availability.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we transport, along with public liability cover for work carried out on your premises. As with any insurance, there are limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain in plain language before you book. We also take practical steps to avoid claims in the first place, such as careful packing, secure loading and protective covers. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional cover or special handling.
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your belongings between the agreed addresses, plus placement of items into the rooms you specify. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, and we use trained staff to handle your items safely. Many customers also add optional extras such as a full or partial packing service, supply of packing materials, and dismantling or reassembly of larger furniture. All inclusions are listed in your quote so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
While a casual man-and-van can be suitable for very small moves, a professional removals service offers more structure and protection. We provide written quotes, trained staff, suitable vehicles, proper equipment and insurance cover. We also plan your move in detail, carry out surveys where needed and allocate enough people to complete the job safely and on time. This reduces the risk of damage, delays or unexpected costs, which can easily arise when using informal or unregulated services.
For a typical house move in Hither Green, we recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, ideally two to four weeks in advance. This gives us the best chance of offering your preferred day and allows time for any packing service you may require. However, we understand that dates can shift, especially with property chains, so we try to remain as flexible as possible. If your move is last-minute, do still get in touch – we may have gaps or cancellations we can use.
Welcome to Man and Van Hither Green, your local, professional moving team for small to medium moves in and around Hither Green. As an experienced removals company, we provide a careful, efficient man and van service tailored to the needs of local residents and businesses.
Our man and van service is ideal when you need the flexibility of a van and an experienced mover, without the cost of a full-sized removals crew. You get:
Whether you are moving a few items across Hither Green or relocating a small flat to another part of London, we plan each job properly and turn up prepared.
Based in and around Hither Green, we know the local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts very well. That local knowledge means:
We regularly work on moves between Hither Green, Lewisham, Blackheath, Catford and wider South East London, so we understand the common challenges and how to avoid delays.
Ideal for smaller house moves, partial moves or taking selected items into storage. If you do your own packing, our team will carefully load, protect and transport your furniture, white goods and boxes to your new home.
Perfect for flat and house moves within Hither Green and across London. We regularly help tenants move between rented properties, including top-floor flats with limited access. We protect stairwells and common areas to keep your landlord happy.
We work with landlords to clear or part-clear properties between tenancies, move in furniture packs, or collect and deliver items for refurbishment. Our man and van option is flexible and cost-effective for these smaller, focused jobs.
For small offices, shops and studios, our service covers moving desks, IT equipment, stock and archive boxes. We can schedule work outside trading hours to minimise disruption and offer multi-stop routes between branches or storage units.
Students moving into or out of Hither Green halls or shared houses often only need a van and a mover for a couple of hours. We offer straightforward, time-based pricing and can group small loads where appropriate to keep costs down.
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we are unable to move:
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, please ask during your enquiry and we will advise.
Contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: addresses, access, list of main items and preferred date. We will ask a few focused questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually based on time plus any agreed fixed elements.
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a quick video survey or onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, stairs, lifts and volume accurately, so we send the right size van and team, and avoid unexpected costs on the day.
You can either pack yourself or add our professional packing service. If you pack, we provide guidance on box sizes, labelling and protecting fragile items. On moving day we bring blankets, straps and basic protection to keep furniture and property safe.
Our trained movers load the van methodically, using blankets and straps to secure items. We work carefully but efficiently, protecting walls, doors and floors where needed. Once loaded, we drive directly to your destination using sensible routes to avoid unnecessary delays.
On arrival we unload items into the rooms you specify. We place furniture where you want it and can reassemble basic items we dismantled by prior agreement. Before leaving, we walk through with you to confirm everything is in place and you are satisfied.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our man and van service is usually charged:
Your quote will confirm:
There are no hidden extras. If circumstances change (for example, extra items or delays outside our control), we will discuss options and agree any variation before proceeding.
Hiring a casual van or asking friends can seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, delays and added stress. A professional man and van service provides:
Most clients tell us the difference in cost is small compared with the time saved, reduced risk of injury, and peace of mind.
We operate to recognised removals standards, with safety and protection at the forefront of every job.
Policy details and limits are available on request. We are always happy to explain what is and is not covered, so you can decide whether to arrange any additional cover of your own.
We treat every move as if we were moving our own belongings. That means:
We also consider our environmental impact. Where possible we:
For one- and two-bedroom properties, a man and van is often the most practical and economical option. We regularly move clients between flats and houses in Hither Green, managing tight staircases, parking restrictions and timed lift access calmly and efficiently.
When a local business needs to relocate or reshuffle, our team can move desks, chairs, boxed files and IT equipment with minimal downtime. We can work early mornings, evenings or weekends and coordinate with your IT provider to ensure equipment is handled as required.
Life does not always give much notice. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day man and van services in Hither Green. This is particularly useful for urgent tenancy changes, last-minute furniture purchases, or when another provider has let you down.
Pricing depends mainly on time, distance, access and how many movers you need. For local jobs in Hither Green, we typically charge an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, plus any parking or congestion charges. For straightforward flat or small house moves, we can often agree a fixed price in advance once we understand the volume and access. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with your addresses, a list of main items and your preferred date.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Hither Green, depending on existing bookings and staff availability. If you need an urgent service, call us as early as possible with your details so we can check our schedule and advise realistic timings. When we accept an urgent job, we treat it with the same level of care and planning as a pre-booked move, but the more information you can provide at the outset, the smoother it will be.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover for our work at your property, subject to policy terms and limits. Certain items, such as high-value antiques or unboxed fragile goods, may require special handling or additional cover. We will explain our standard cover when quoting and are happy to answer detailed questions. If you have particularly valuable items, please let us know in advance so we can confirm how they are best protected.
As standard, our service includes a suitable van, one or more professional movers, loading, transport, unloading and the use of blankets and straps to protect and secure items. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify and will move items carefully through your property. Optional extras include packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and removal of unwanted items by prior arrangement. Your written quote will clearly list what is included so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
Our service is a structured, fully insured removals operation rather than an informal lift. We use trained staff, appropriate equipment, modern vehicles and documented procedures for handling, loading and protecting goods. We also provide written quotes, clear terms and reliable arrival times. A casual service may be cheaper on paper, but it often lacks insurance, accountability and experience, which significantly increases the risk of damage, delays or non-attendance. Many of our clients come to us after poor experiences elsewhere.
For weekends and month-end dates, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and around university term times. For midweek moves or smaller jobs, we can often accommodate bookings with less notice. That said, the more time we have, the easier it is to reserve your preferred slot and plan parking or access arrangements. If your dates are flexible, we can sometimes suggest quieter times that may be more cost-effective or convenient.
At Man and Van Hither Green, our removal van service is designed for people who want a professional, hassle-free move without paying for a huge removals crew they don’t need. You get a suitably sized van, an experienced local driver-mover, and extra porters if required – all organised around your schedule in and around Hither Green.
Our removal van service in Hither Green is a flexible moving solution for local and longer-distance moves. We provide:
We plan your move carefully so everything fits safely, arrives on time and is placed where you want it at your new property.
We work in and around Hither Green every day. That local knowledge matters: we understand the one-way systems, controlled parking zones and tight residential streets, and we know how to plan loading so we cause minimal disruption to neighbours.
Whether you’re moving from a flat near Hither Green station, a terrace off Brownhill Road, or relocating your office towards Lewisham or Blackheath, we factor in realistic travel times and access issues so your move runs smoothly from start to finish.
Ideal if you’re upsizing, downsizing or moving out of the area. We can provide multiple removal vans and a full team if you have a larger house move, ensuring everything is loaded, protected and transported in one coordinated operation.
If you’re moving between rented flats or houses in Hither Green or across London, our service is a cost-effective, straightforward option. We’re used to dealing with stairwells, lifts, tight hallways and time-slots for keys and inventory checks.
Landlords often use us to clear or part-clear properties between tenancies. We can remove old furniture, transport items to storage, or move in new furnishings quickly and efficiently.
From small offices to local shops, our removal van service supports relocations, internal reshuffles and deliveries of stock, furniture and equipment. We plan around working hours to minimise downtime and disruption.
Students moving to or from Hither Green benefit from a smaller van and a single mover – a cost-effective option for moving boxes, suitcases, desks and a few bits of furniture between halls, shared houses and home.
If you’re unsure about a specific item, please mention it during your enquiry so we can advise or make appropriate arrangements.
You contact us with your moving dates, addresses, and a rough idea of what needs moving. We’ll ask a few focused questions about access, floors, parking and volume. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what’s included, so you know exactly what to expect.
For larger moves, we’ll carry out a brief virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to confirm van size, number of movers, and time required. It also helps us identify any access challenges, staircases or fragile items that need extra care, ensuring there are no surprises on moving day.
You can pack your own belongings, or we can provide a professional packing service. We use quality boxes, wrapping and tape, and we label everything clearly for room-by-room unloading. Large items can be dismantled where necessary, and we protect furniture with blankets, covers and shrink-wrap.
On the day, our trained team arrives on time, carries out a quick walk-through, and then systematically loads the van. We secure items with straps and padding to minimise movement in transit. Once loaded, we travel directly to your new address via the most sensible route, keeping you informed of progress.
At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify. We’ll reassemble any furniture we dismantled and place heavier items where you want them first, so you can start settling in immediately. Before we leave, we check that nothing has been missed and that you’re happy with the placement.
We believe in simple, transparent pricing. Our quotes are based on:
You’ll receive a clear breakdown with no hidden extras. Parking charges or congestion fees, where applicable, are discussed upfront. For straightforward jobs, we may offer a fixed price; for more flexible or uncertain jobs, an hourly rate can be more economical.
Hiring a van and doing it yourself can look cheaper on paper, but it often means multiple trips, heavy lifting without proper technique, and a higher risk of damage to your belongings and property.
With our professional removal van service you benefit from:
For most people, the time, effort and risk saved more than justifies using a specialist removals company.
We operate to clear, professional standards so your belongings are protected throughout the move.
We’ll explain how our cover works and what it includes, and we’re happy to answer questions about specific items or circumstances.
We treat your belongings and property as if they were our own. That means:
We also take a responsible approach to the environment by:
Whether you’re moving a studio flat or a four-bedroom house in Hither Green, we can scale our removal van service to match. A pre-move survey ensures we send the right number of vans and movers so everything is completed in one coordinated move.
From small local offices to shops and clinics, we move furniture, files, IT equipment and stock with minimal disruption. Evening or weekend moves are available so you can resume operations quickly at your new premises.
Sometimes moves need to happen quickly – a tenancy change, completion date shift or unexpected situation. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day removal van support in and around Hither Green. Call us and we’ll advise realistically what we can do.
The cost depends on van size, number of movers, distance and how long loading and unloading are likely to take. Smaller local moves with one mover and a medium van are typically charged by the hour, with a minimum booking period. Larger home or office moves are often quoted at a fixed price following a survey. We’ll always provide a clear written quote before you commit, outlining exactly what’s included so you can compare it fairly with other options.
Same-day or urgent moves are sometimes possible, especially for local jobs in and around Hither Green. Availability depends on our existing bookings, van sizes already out on the road, and how much notice you can give. If you need an urgent move, it’s best to call us so we can check our schedule immediately. Where we can help, we’ll give you a realistic arrival window and a clear price before confirming the booking.
Yes, your items are protected under our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care and in our vehicles, subject to our terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property. There are reasonable limits and exclusions, particularly for high-value or fragile items, so we always recommend discussing anything of special value with us in advance. We’re happy to explain how the cover works and what information we need from you.
Our standard service includes a suitably sized removal van, one or more trained movers, protective blankets and equipment, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We can add packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, supply of boxes and packing materials, and evening or weekend working if required. All agreed services are listed clearly in your quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day. If you need to adjust anything beforehand, we’ll update the booking accordingly.
A casual man-and-van often means a single person with a van and very limited protection, planning or insurance. Our service is a professional removals operation: we use purpose-built vehicles, experienced staff, proper lifting techniques and protective materials. We also provide goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, and we carry out surveys for larger moves. In practice, that means better planning, safer handling, reduced risk of damage and a much smoother experience overall.
For planned house or office moves, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, particularly if you’re moving on a Friday or at month-end when demand is highest. That said, we often accommodate shorter notice moves, especially smaller jobs, if our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the better chance we have of offering your preferred date and time and arranging any additional services like packing or multiple vans.
At Man and Van Hither Green, we provide reliable, well-organised removal services for homes and businesses across Hither Green and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving families, students, landlords and local companies, we know how to make moving day as calm and straightforward as possible.
Our removal service covers everything from small flat moves to full family homes and office relocations. We plan each move around your property, access, and timescales, then allocate the right vehicle, equipment and team size so the job is done safely and on time.
Every move is carried out by our own trained, uniformed staff using the correct lifting techniques, protective covers and securing methods. We are fully insured with both goods in transit and public liability cover, giving you confidence that your belongings are protected throughout the journey.
Working daily in and around Hither Green means we understand local roads, parking challenges and building layouts. Whether you are moving from a Victorian terrace, a modern flat near the station, or a local business unit, we are used to dealing with tight staircases, controlled parking zones and timed loading bays.
We can advise on local parking suspensions where required and plan routes that avoid unnecessary delays. This local knowledge helps us keep moves efficient, reducing stress and keeping disruption to your neighbours to a minimum.
From one-bedroom flats to large family homes, we manage full household moves, part loads and downsizing moves. We can supply packing materials, dismantle and reassemble furniture, and ensure valuables and fragile items receive extra protection.
If you are moving between rented properties, we work to your check-out and key handover times, helping you clear the property in good time. We can also help move boxed items to storage if there is a gap between tenancies.
We support landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, removing unwanted furniture and belongings in a tidy, respectful manner. Where required, we can separate reusable items for donation and dispose of non-reusable items responsibly.
Our office and commercial removals cover small offices, retail units and local service businesses. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock and light machinery, planning work to minimise downtime and, where possible, working outside your core trading hours.
Students moving into or out of Hither Green often only have a room’s worth of belongings, but still need dependable help. We offer smaller-scale moves at sensible rates, including transport to and from storage or halls of residence.
Our standard removal services typically include:
Optional extras can include full or part packing services, supply of boxes and packing materials, and collection or delivery to storage facilities.
To keep our service safe, compliant and focused, some items and tasks are excluded or must be agreed in advance:
If you have any unusual or particularly heavy items, mention them during the quotation stage so we can confirm whether we can safely handle them and what arrangements are needed.
You contact us with your moving details: current and new addresses, property size, key dates and any special requirements. We ask a few practical questions and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day. Quotes are set out so you can see what is included and any optional extras.
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a short survey – either a video call walkthrough or an onsite visit. This lets us assess access, parking, staircases, lift availability and any awkward or fragile items. A proper survey means fewer surprises on moving day and ensures we allocate the right team and vehicle.
Before moving day, you can either pack yourself or ask us to provide a professional packing service. We can supply boxes, tape and wrapping paper, and advise on how to label and prepare possessions. If we are packing for you, we usually come the day before the move, carefully wrapping breakables and protecting furniture.
On the day, our team arrives at the agreed time, walks through the property with you and confirms the plan. We protect key areas (such as doors and bannisters), then load methodically, starting with larger furniture and working through boxes by room. Everything is secured in the vehicle using blankets and straps, and then transported via the most suitable route.
At your new property, we place furniture and boxes in the rooms you’ve specified, so you are not left shifting heavy items later. We reassemble any agreed furniture and carry out a final check with you to ensure nothing has been missed. Only once you are satisfied do we complete the job.
We believe in clear, fair pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
We usually offer fixed-price quotes for standard moves, so you know the cost in advance. However, if your move details change significantly (for example, adding a second pickup address or extra large items), we will revise the quote transparently and discuss it with you before proceeding.
While hiring a van and moving yourself can seem cheaper, in practice it often means multiple trips, physical strain and a higher risk of damage. As a professional removal company, we bring the right equipment, experience and insurance to protect both your belongings and the properties.
We know how to move large furniture safely through tight spaces, how to secure loads for transport, and how to plan moves so they run smoothly. When you factor in van hire, fuel, lost time, potential injury and damaged items, using a professional removal team is often the more economical and far less stressful choice.
Your possessions are important, both financially and personally. That is why we maintain appropriate insurance and professional working standards:
We will happily explain our cover in plain language so you understand what is and is not included. If you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss whether additional cover or specialist handling is advisable.
We treat every move as if it were our own home or business. Furniture is wrapped and protected, boxes are stacked sensibly, and floors and banisters are watched carefully to avoid scuffs. We encourage good packing practices and are happy to advise on how to protect fragile items.
We also pay attention to sustainability. Where possible, we reuse durable moving blankets and re-use or collect back sturdy cartons. We separate recyclable materials and work with reputable waste facilities when disposing of unwanted items. Wherever we can, we combine efficient route planning and vehicle loading to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use.
Many of our clients are simply moving a short distance across Hither Green or nearby areas. We plan these moves so that you can be loaded, transported and unloaded in a single day, helping you get settled quickly with minimal disruption to family life.
For local businesses, we understand that time really is money. We can schedule moves outside your busiest trading hours, pack and label equipment clearly, and ensure key items such as desks, tills and IT are prioritised for unloading so you can be up and running again promptly.
Situations change and sometimes moves need to happen quickly – a sudden completion date, a tenancy ending early, or an urgent need to vacate premises. Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or next-day removal services, scaling the team as needed to meet tight deadlines while still working safely and systematically.
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, distance between addresses, and the level of service you need. A small flat move within Hither Green will typically cost less than a full three-bedroom house move to another town, simply because it requires fewer staff and less time. After a short discussion or survey, we provide a clear, fixed quotation wherever possible, so you know exactly what you will pay before you book, with no hidden extras added on moving day.
We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Smaller moves, such as studio flats or student rooms, are usually easier to accommodate at short notice, while larger house or office moves may require at least some planning. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as you can with key details. We will be honest about what is achievable and may suggest practical ways to streamline the move to meet tight timescales safely.
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance, which covers your possessions while they are being moved in our vehicles, and public liability cover for accidental damage to property or injury to third parties. This is designed to give you peace of mind that, in the unlikely event something goes wrong, there is proper protection in place. We always encourage clients to read our terms and conditions and, for particularly high-value items, to check whether additional cover via their home or business insurance might be appropriate.
As standard, our removal service includes loading and unloading by our trained team, use of protective blankets and securing straps, transport in a suitable vehicle, and placing items into the correct rooms at your new property. Basic dismantling and reassembly of straightforward furniture, such as bed frames and tables, is generally included, provided it is agreed in advance. Packing services, packing materials, storage runs and clearance of unwanted items are available as optional extras. We detail exactly what is included in your written quote so there is no confusion.
A casual man-and-van service may be fine for a few items, but it rarely offers the planning, protection and insurance that come with a professional removal company. We carry proper goods in transit and public liability cover, use purpose-equipped vehicles, bring sufficient staff, and follow proven methods to protect your belongings and property. We also provide written quotes and clear terms. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs, and typically results in a smoother, less stressful move overall.
Ideally, you should book as soon as your moving date is reasonably certain, especially if you are moving at busy times such as month-end or weekends. For most standard moves, one to three weeks’ notice is comfortable and allows for a proper survey and planning. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy changes are not always confirmed early, so we do our best to accommodate shorter notice. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we will have in offering your preferred date and time.
At Man and Van Hither Green, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions for households and businesses across Hither Green and the surrounding areas. Whether you are moving home, decluttering, between tenancies or managing an office move, we can collect, store and return your belongings with minimal disruption and maximum care.
Our storage service is designed around how people in Hither Green actually live and work. As a local, owner-managed removals company, we understand the space pressures of London homes, short notice move-out dates and the need for reliable, punctual help.
We collect your items from your property, carefully load them into our vehicles, and place them into secure, monitored storage facilities. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery to your new address or back to your current home or office.
If you are selling, renovating or downsizing, storage can give you breathing space. We regularly help homeowners store furniture, boxes and personal items while they work through a chain or wait for completion.
Tenancy ending before your new place is ready? Our storage options bridge the gap. We collect from your rental, store securely and deliver once you have your keys.
Landlords use our short-term storage during refurbishments or between tenants. We can remove and store furnishings while work is carried out, then return everything once the property is ready to let.
From small offices to local shops, we support businesses with office storage and stock storage. Archive boxes, surplus desks, seasonal stock and display equipment can all be stored safely off-site, freeing up valuable space.
Students in and around Hither Green benefit from term-time storage during holidays or study abroad periods. We collect from halls or flat shares, store for as long as needed and deliver when you return.
We handle most typical household and office contents, including:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we do not store:
If you are unsure whether something is suitable for storage, we are happy to advise before your booking.
You contact us with a brief description of what you need to store, when, and for how long. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on volume, access and distance. Prices are broken down into collection, storage and redelivery so you know exactly what to expect.
For larger moves or if space is tight, we arrange a quick virtual or onsite survey. This helps us assess access, parking and the volume of goods, so we send the right vehicle and team and book the correct storage capacity.
You can choose to pack your own items or use our professional packing service. Our teams are trained in wrapping furniture, protecting fragile items and labelling boxes clearly for easy retrieval. We bring blankets, wrapping materials and floor protection as needed.
On the day, our professional team arrives on time, protects key areas of your property and loads your belongings carefully. Everything is secured in the vehicle and transported directly to our storage partner facility.
Once at the facility, we unload into your allocated storage area. Items are stacked safely, with furniture wrapped and protected. When you are ready to receive your goods, we arrange a convenient redelivery time, return your items and place them into the rooms you specify.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our storage quotations typically include:
Costs depend on the amount of space you need, how easy access is, and the length of storage. We explain all charges upfront, with no hidden fees for basic handling or standard blankets and protection. If you add or remove items during storage, we adjust your rate accordingly and keep you informed.
Using a professional storage and removals company offers several advantages over doing it all yourself or using an informal man-and-van:
DIY storage often leads to overfilled cars, poorly stacked items, damage in transit and wasted time. With us, everything is planned and professionally managed from door to store and back again.
We operate to clear, professional standards, including:
We treat your possessions as if they were our own, using appropriate wrapping, blankets and strapping during transit. For any high-value or unusual items, we discuss cover and handling arrangements with you in advance.
We focus on practical protection and sensible environmental choices. Our crews use reusable blankets and protective materials where possible and pack vehicles efficiently to minimise journeys. Well-planned loading reduces the risk of damage, meaning fewer items end up needing repair or replacement.
We encourage re-use of boxes, donate unwanted but usable furniture where agreed, and plan routes around Hither Green to reduce unnecessary mileage. It is a straightforward, responsible approach that benefits both our customers and the local area.
Chains do not always line up neatly. Many Hither Green clients store part or all of their belongings with us while they complete, wait for building work, or stage their home for sale. We can co-ordinate closely with your move dates.
When offices are refurbishing or relocating, temporary storage keeps equipment safe and the workspace clear. We can stagger collections and deliveries to match phased fit-out schedules.
Evictions, sudden job changes or last-minute landlord requests can create urgent storage needs. Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection from Hither Green addresses to get your belongings safely stored without delay.
Pricing depends on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you want to store for, and how straightforward access is at both ends. We charge separately for collection, ongoing storage and final redelivery so everything is transparent. For smaller loads, costs are often lower than people expect, especially once you factor in time, fuel and van hire for DIY. We are happy to give an accurate quote once we know roughly what you have and your dates.
In many cases, yes. We regularly help customers who have been let down, had a move fall through or been given short notice to vacate a property. Same-day or next-day storage depends on our van and team availability, plus space at the storage facility, so it is best to call as early as possible. We will always be honest about what we can do and may offer practical alternatives if peak times limit options.
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them between your property and the storage facility. We also hold public liability cover for work on-site at your home or business. The storage facility itself has its own security measures and protections. As with any policy, there are limits and exclusions, so we recommend letting us know if you have particularly high-value or unusual items so we can confirm suitable cover or discuss additional arrangements.
Our standard storage service includes collection from your property, careful loading, transport to a secure facility, safe stacking in storage and eventual redelivery to your chosen address. We provide moving blankets and basic protection as part of the service. Optional extras include professional packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and materials such as boxes and tape. Everything is clearly listed in your quotation so you know exactly what is and is not included before you book.
While a casual man-and-van may move items from A to B, our approach is more structured and fully supported. We use trained staff, appropriate equipment and established procedures for protecting and handling goods. We are fully insured for both transit and liability, provide written confirmations and clear pricing, and co-ordinate with storage facilities on your behalf. In practice, that means fewer surprises, less risk of damage and a more reliable experience from first enquiry through to final redelivery.
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as you know you will need storage, particularly between late spring and early autumn when moves are busiest. That said, we understand that plans can change suddenly. We often accommodate bookings at short notice, and sometimes even on the same day, subject to availability. If your dates are uncertain, we can still provide an estimate and pencil in provisional arrangements, then firm things up once your plans are confirmed.
At Man and Van Hither Green, our dedicated packing and boxes service is designed to take the stress, time and risk out of preparing for your move. We provide quality materials, careful packing and a structured process so your belongings arrive safely, whether you are moving across Hither Green or across London.
Our packing and boxes service is a complete solution for anyone who wants their items packed safely and efficiently by a trained, professional removals team. We supply all the packing materials, carefully wrap and box your items, label everything clearly and prepare your property for moving day.
We can provide:
We work in and around Hither Green every day, supporting local homeowners, renters and businesses. Our local knowledge means we understand the housing stock, common access issues and parking restrictions across SE13 and surrounding streets such as Hither Green Lane, Verdant Lane and George Lane.
Because we know the area well, we can plan access, protect communal areas and coordinate timings to minimise disruption for neighbours and building managers. This local expertise helps us pack and move efficiently while keeping your belongings properly protected.
If you are selling or buying in Hither Green, our packing team can manage everything from fragile heirlooms to loft contents, garages and garden items. We make sure your property is fully ready for completion and key handover.
Whether you are moving between flats or into your first rented home, we can pack in a way that protects both your belongings and the property, helping you leave your rental in good condition for check-out inspections.
For landlords, we provide professional packing and clearance-style boxing when tenants leave items behind or when you are refreshing a furnished let. Everything is boxed, listed and ready for storage, disposal or charity as required.
Offices, shops and small businesses in Hither Green rely on us to pack documents, IT equipment, stock and furniture securely. We can provide a structured packing plan to minimise downtime and keep critical equipment clearly labelled.
Students moving to or from Hither Green need a simple, affordable service. We can supply smaller box bundles, pack essentials and transport them securely between halls, shared houses and storage.
Our team can safely pack most household and office contents, including:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot pack:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you clearly before packing day.
Contact Man and Van Hither Green by phone or online with details of your property, move date and what you need packed. We ask a few focused questions to understand the size of your move, access details and any fragile or high-value items. Based on this, we provide a transparent written estimate with no hidden extras.
For larger properties or business moves, we recommend a short professional survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Hither Green. We assess volume, materials needed, parking and access issues. The survey allows us to give a more accurate price and allocate the right number of trained packers and vehicles.
On the agreed day, our team arrives with all materials. We protect floors where needed, then methodically pack room by room. Fragile items are wrapped individually, boxes are double-taped and clearly labelled by room and contents. We can also dismantle basic furniture and prepare appliances in coordination with qualified trades where required.
Once everything is packed and ready, we load our vehicles using proper lifting techniques and protective equipment such as blankets, straps and floor guards. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being transported from Hither Green to your new address or to storage.
At the destination, we unload and place boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify. If you have booked our unpacking service, we can also open boxes, place items on surfaces or into cupboards and remove used packing materials for recycling wherever possible.
We believe in clear, honest pricing. Costs depend mainly on:
Your quote will clearly show labour, materials and any additional services such as unpacking or furniture dismantling. There are no surprise charges on the day, and we always explain options if you are working to a budget.
Many people start packing themselves, only to find it takes far longer than expected and uses far more boxes and materials. Our trained team packs quickly and safely, reducing breakages and making loading and unloading more efficient.
Compared with DIY or an informal man-and-van, we bring:
This often saves both time and money once you factor in damaged items, time off work and last-minute materials purchases.
Man and Van Hither Green operates to recognised industry standards to protect you and your belongings.
We are happy to discuss cover levels in more detail and can provide proof of insurance upon request.
We treat every move as if it were our own. Delicate items are wrapped in paper or bubble wrap; furniture is protected with blankets and covers; and we take care to avoid marks on walls, floors and door frames.
Where possible, we use recyclable materials and encourage box reuse on local moves. We can collect reusable boxes after your move by arrangement, helping to cut waste and reduce the environmental impact of your relocation.
From Victorian terraces to modern flats, we handle all types of homes. We can pack your entire property one or two days before your move, leaving only essentials out until the last moment.
We pack files, equipment and stock with minimal disruption to your operations. Out-of-hours and weekend packing can be arranged to keep your business running smoothly.
Sometimes moves come up unexpectedly – a sudden completion date, a change in tenancy, or personal circumstances. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day packing support in Hither Green to get you moved safely at short notice.
The cost depends mainly on the size of your property, how much you need packing and whether you choose full or part packing. A small flat with part packing will cost less than a full family home service. We price labour and materials separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. After a brief consultation or survey, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras, and we are happy to suggest ways to tailor the service to your budget.
Yes, we can often help with urgent or short-notice packing in Hither Green, especially on weekdays outside of peak times. Availability does depend on existing bookings and the size of the job, so it is always best to call us as soon as you know you need help. For larger properties we may recommend a team the following day to ensure the work is done safely and properly, but for smaller moves we can sometimes respond the same day.
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property during our work. As with any insurance, there are limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain in plain language before you book. High-value items may need to be declared in advance so we can confirm cover. We always recommend you carry irreplaceable documents, jewellery and cash personally rather than sending them in the van.
Our service can include everything you need: supply of boxes, tape and wrapping materials; full or part packing by a professional team; clear labelling; loading, transport and unloading; and optional unpacking at your new address. We also protect furniture with covers and blankets and can dismantle basic items such as beds and tables if agreed in advance. What is not included are prohibited or hazardous items, specialist disconnection of appliances and disposal services, although we can often recommend trusted local providers for those tasks.
A basic man-and-van usually provides transport and lifting only, with limited or no packing, weaker boxes and little formal protection. Our service is run as a fully insured, professional removals operation with trained staff, structured packing, quality materials and clear procedures. We take responsibility for preparing your belongings properly, not just getting them from A to B. This significantly reduces the risk of damage and makes the entire move smoother, especially for larger homes, offices or anyone with valuable or fragile items.
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking your packing service at least one to two weeks before your move, particularly if you are moving on a Friday or at month-end when demand is higher. That said, we understand that move dates can change, so we try to be as flexible as possible. If your plans are uncertain, we can pencil in a provisional date and adjust it where our schedule allows. Late bookings are welcome – we will always do our best to fit you in.
At Man and Van Hither Green, we provide reliable, carefully planned office removals throughout Hither Green and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving businesses of all sizes, we understand the pressures of relocating a workplace and the importance of minimising downtime.
Our office removals service is designed for companies who want a professional, well-organised move rather than a rushed clearance. We handle everything from a few desks to full multi-floor office relocations, always focusing on protecting your equipment, data and staff safety.
We work to your schedule – evenings, weekends or phased moves – to keep disruption to a minimum. Every move is planned in detail, labelled clearly and executed by a trained, uniformed team who are used to working in busy, shared office buildings.
Being based in Hither Green means we know the local streets, access issues and parking restrictions extremely well. This local knowledge helps us:
Whether your office is near Hither Green station, on a residential side road or part of a managed business centre, we’ve likely moved there before and can plan accordingly.
Although this service focuses on offices, our approach is suitable for a range of clients across Hither Green:
We regularly move:
For safety and compliance reasons, there are some items we either cannot move or can only move by prior special arrangement:
If you’re unsure about a particular item, just ask – we’ll advise on what is possible and the best way to handle it.
Contact us by phone or email with your basic move details: addresses, dates, office size and any key requirements. We’ll ask a few focused questions so we can give you a clear, no-obligation quote. Our pricing is transparent and explained in plain language, with no hidden extras.
For anything more than a very small office, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit. We’ll assess access, parking, staircases, lifts, and the volume of furniture and equipment. The survey allows us to allocate the right vehicles, team size and time, reducing the risk of delays on the day.
You can choose from:
We label crates and boxes clearly by department, room or person to make unpacking straightforward.
On move day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and doorways as needed, and systematically loads your office contents. Desks and larger furniture can be dismantled and reassembled where required. Everything is secured in our vehicles to prevent movement in transit, and transported directly to your new premises.
At your new office, we unload in the order that suits your setup, placing items in the correct rooms or zones. We follow any floor plans you provide and can position desks, chairs and cabinets in their approximate final locations so your team can get up and running sooner.
Every office move in Hither Green is slightly different, so we price each job individually. Typically, your quote will be based on:
We provide a written quote that sets out what’s included so you know exactly what you’re paying for. If your requirements change before move day, we’ll update the quote and explain any price differences in advance.
Trying to move an office with borrowed vans and staff volunteers often leads to delays, damaged equipment and stressed teams. A professional office removals service offers:
You can focus on running your business and looking after your people while we handle the physical move.
Your office contents are often high value and business-critical, so protection matters. Man and Van Hither Green operates with:
We follow clear procedures for handling fragile items, use suitable protective materials and keep communication open before, during and after the move.
We treat your office equipment and furniture as if it were our own. Our teams use blankets, shrink wrap, floor protection and specialist trolleys to move items safely. Monitors and computers are wrapped individually; drawers and doors are secured for transport.
Where possible, we use reusable crates and durable packing materials, and we consolidate trips to reduce unnecessary mileage. If you’re clearing an office, we can help separate reusable items from waste and work with local recycling facilities to keep useful furniture and equipment out of landfill.
Ideal for businesses moving between premises in or around Hither Green. We can plan phased moves so core departments remain operational, or complete a full relocation over a weekend to be ready for Monday morning.
If you’re reshaping your existing office – changing layouts, creating collaboration areas or moving teams between floors – we can handle the dismantling, repositioning and reassembly of your furniture and equipment.
Sometimes lease changes, maintenance issues or growth mean you need to move quickly. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day office removals in Hither Green. We’ll give you an honest view of what’s realistic and how best to prioritise essential items.
Costs depend mainly on the size of your office, the amount of furniture and equipment, access at each address and the level of service you choose. A small office move may be priced on an hourly rate with a minimum charge, while larger relocations are usually quoted as a fixed price after a survey. Your quote will detail what’s included so there are no surprises. Contact us with a brief description of your office and we can give a ballpark figure, then refine it after a more detailed assessment.
Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice office removals in Hither Green. Availability depends on the size of your move and how many vehicles and staff are free. For urgent moves, we focus on getting your critical items – such as IT equipment and essential desks – installed first so you can function. It’s always best to call us as early as possible; we’ll be honest about what can be achieved safely within your timescale and plan accordingly.
We operate with goods in transit insurance to protect your office contents while they are being moved, and public liability cover in case of accidental damage to buildings or third-party property. This is in addition to our careful handling and use of proper protective materials. Specific limits and terms can vary, so we’re happy to share details on request. If you have very high-value items or specialist equipment, let us know so we can confirm the cover and discuss any additional measures if needed.
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, equipment and boxed contents between your old and new premises. We can also provide dismantling and reassembly of desks and basic furniture as required. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials, crate hire and short-term storage. Your written quote will set out exactly what’s included. If you need additional help such as clearance of unwanted items or staged moves over multiple days, we can tailor the service to suit.
While a casual man-and-van might be suitable for a few items, a professional office removals service is set up for structured business moves. We plan the job in detail, carry suitable insurance, use protective materials and send a trained team experienced with IT and office furniture. We coordinate timings with your building and ensure items are placed correctly at the new site. The goal isn’t just to move items, but to help your business resume work quickly and safely with minimal disruption.
For small office moves within Hither Green, one to two weeks’ notice is often enough, especially outside peak periods. For larger offices, multiple floors or moves needing weekend or evening work, we recommend booking three to six weeks ahead where possible. This gives time for surveys, building permissions and detailed planning. However, we understand that moves are not always planned months in advance, so if you’re on a tight timescale, contact us and we’ll do our best to accommodate you or offer practical alternatives.
At Man and Van Hither Green, we provide a reliable, local man with a van service designed for moves and deliveries of all sizes in and around Hither Green. We combine the flexibility of a small, responsive team with the standards of a professional removals company: careful handling, clear communication, and fully insured transport.
Whether you are moving a single item across town or a full flat across London, we offer a tidy, punctual and respectful service from experienced movers who work with your schedule and property rules.
Based near Hither Green, we know the area well – the one-way systems, parking restrictions, narrow streets and typical flat layouts. This local knowledge helps us plan access, choose the right size vehicle and avoid delays. We regularly work in:
We liaise with you in advance about loading points, lift access and time restrictions so your move runs smoothly and with minimal disruption to neighbours.
Ideal for smaller house moves, part-loads, garage clearances and transporting larger household items you cannot safely move yourself. We protect floors, doors and furniture and can work around renovation or completion dates.
Perfect for flat and room moves, especially when you are between tenancies or moving within the same building. We are used to tight stairwells, lift bookings and landlord requirements, and we take care not to mark walls or communal areas.
We help landlords and agents with furniture moves, end-of-tenancy clearances and delivery of new appliances or beds. We can collect from stores, deliver to the property and remove old items where agreed.
Our man with a van for businesses service covers small office moves, archive moves, equipment deliveries and event transport. We work at agreed times to minimise downtime and can handle repeat runs for regular clients.
Students moving to or from Hither Green benefit from an affordable, efficient service that can handle boxes, suitcases, desks, bikes and more in a single trip. We are happy to collect from storage, halls or shared houses.
We regularly move:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we cannot transport:
If you are unsure about a particular item, ask when you enquire and we will advise or suggest alternatives.
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your collection and delivery addresses, an outline of what needs moving and your preferred date and time. We will ask a few questions about access, stairs, lifts and parking. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day.
For larger moves or more complex access, we may carry out a short virtual survey by video call or request photos. For full flat or house moves in Hither Green, we can arrange an onsite visit at a convenient time. This allows us to confirm the volume, plan vehicle size and confirm how many movers are needed.
Most man-with-a-van customers pack their own items, but we can supply boxes, tape and wrapping if required. For fragile or valuable pieces, we offer a professional packing service where our trained team wrap, box and label items for you. Please ensure drawers are emptied and appliances are disconnected before we arrive, unless we have agreed otherwise.
On moving day, we arrive on time, introduce the team and walk through the job with you. We protect furniture with blankets and straps and use trolleys where appropriate. Our vehicles are clean, well maintained and equipped for removals. Everything is loaded systematically so items are secure in transit and unloaded in the correct order at your destination.
At the new address, we place items into the rooms you specify, not just at the front door. Larger items are positioned where you want them, and we will happily move pieces once or twice within reason to get the layout right. We remove our protective materials and check you are satisfied before we leave.
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our man with a van service is typically charged:
Our quote will confirm:
Parking costs, congestion or toll charges are discussed in advance where applicable. You will always know what you are paying and what to expect.
Hiring a professional service like Man and Van Hither Green offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual, uninsured driver:
While DIY may look cheaper on paper, once you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work, and potential damage, a professional man with a van is often the most cost-effective choice.
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. As a professional removals operator we maintain:
We work to recognised industry standards, keep our vehicles serviced and clean, and document every booking so there is a clear record of what has been agreed.
We focus on careful handling and responsible working:
We aim to balance efficiency with a considerate approach to your belongings and the environment.
For smaller homes and flats in Hither Green, a dedicated man with a van can handle your entire move in a day. We carefully load your boxed belongings, furniture and appliances and deliver them to your new address, placing items where needed so you can settle in sooner.
We conduct compact office relocations, moving desks, chairs, boxed files and IT equipment between sites. Out-of-hours moves are available by arrangement to minimise disruption to your business operations.
When a move cannot wait – perhaps a tenancy changeover, last-minute purchase or urgent clearance – our flexible team will do their best to provide same-day or next-day man-with-a-van support in and around Hither Green, subject to availability.
Pricing depends on how much you are moving, access at each property and the distance travelled. For local Hither Green moves, we usually charge an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, which includes the vehicle and at least one mover. Larger jobs may be quoted at a fixed price. To give an accurate cost, we will ask for a list of items, floor levels, parking details and your preferred date. There are no hidden extras; any parking or congestion charges are discussed in advance.
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice man-with-a-van services in Hither Green and nearby areas. The more notice you give, the easier it is to secure your ideal time, but we understand that emergencies happen. Call us as soon as you know you need help, and we will check vehicle and crew availability, then confirm a realistic arrival window. Urgent bookings are charged on the same clear basis, and we still apply our usual standards of care and protection.
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being transported in our vehicle, as well as public liability cover for work at your property. As with any insurance, certain limits and exclusions apply, so we will explain the key points when you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, please tell us in advance so we can confirm cover and, if necessary, suggest additional protection or a specialist service.
Our standard service includes the vehicle, a professional driver, loading and unloading of your items, basic protection such as blankets and straps, and placement of items into the rooms you specify. We also provide standard insurance cover while goods are in our care. Optional extras include packing materials, a full or partial packing service, furniture dismantling and reassembly by prior agreement. We will set out clearly what is and is not included in your written quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
A full removals service is usually aimed at larger, whole-house or office moves and often includes detailed planning, packing, multiple vehicles and a larger crew. A man with a van is more flexible and suited to smaller moves, single items, student moves or part-loads. At Man and Van Hither Green we operate both styles professionally, using trained staff and proper insurance. We will recommend the most suitable option based on your volume, timescale and budget so you do not pay for more service than you need.
For weekend and month-end moves, we recommend booking your man with a van at least one to two weeks ahead, as these dates fill quickly. For weekday or off-peak slots, a few days’ notice is often sufficient. That said, we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests. Once we confirm your booking, we reserve the vehicle and team for your time slot, and we will send confirmation so you have everything in writing for your records.
At Man and Van Hither Green, we provide a reliable, well-organised removals service for households and businesses across Hither Green and the surrounding areas. As a local, experienced removals company, we understand the streets, parking restrictions and property types in SE13, so your move is planned properly from the start.
Whether you are moving a small flat, a large family home or a busy office, our professional, fully insured removals teams handle every stage carefully – from initial enquiry through to placing the last box in the right room.

Our core services include:
Every move is planned around your property, your access, and your schedule so that everything runs smoothly on the day.

This local knowledge helps us plan vehicle size, parking arrangements and timings accurately, reducing delays and stress on moving day.
We regularly help homeowners moving between properties in Hither Green and across London or further afield. From careful packing of fragile items to protecting staircases and floors, we make sure your old and new homes are treated with respect.
If you are renting a flat or house, we understand the importance of leaving the property in good condition to secure your deposit. We protect walls and floors, and can help disconnect appliances and remove all packing materials after the move if required.
Landlords use our professional removal service for end-of-tenancy clearances, part-furnished turnarounds and moving furniture between properties. We work efficiently and can often arrange short-notice appointments.
For offices and commercial premises, we offer structured moves with minimal downtime. We can move desks, IT equipment, archive boxes and stock, and we work with you to schedule moves outside normal working hours where possible.
Students moving into halls or shared houses benefit from our smaller-load options. We can move boxes, suitcases, a few pieces of furniture and bikes at set times to fit around your course schedule and budget.
We routinely move most household and office contents, including:
There are certain items we cannot carry for safety or insurance reasons. These typically include:
If you have any unusual or particularly valuable items, mention them during your enquiry so we can advise on the best and safest way to move them.
Contact us by phone or online with basic details: addresses, property type, number of rooms and any special items. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on your requirements, including any optional services such as packing or dismantling.
For larger moves or more complex properties, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit. We assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and the volume of items. This ensures we allocate the right-sized vehicle, number of movers and time for your move.
You can pack yourself, or choose our professional packing service. We supply appropriate boxes and materials, and our trained team pack your belongings securely. We can also dismantle furniture where needed, label boxes clearly and prepare fragile or high-value items for extra protection.
On moving day, our trained movers arrive on time, protect floors and banisters where required, and load your belongings carefully in a logical order. Everything is secured in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We then travel via the most efficient route to your new property.
On arrival, we unload your items into the rooms you specify. Furniture is reassembled if this was agreed, and we place boxes in the correct areas to make unpacking easier. Before leaving, we check that everything on the inventory has been delivered and positioned as requested.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
We can quote on a fixed-price basis for most moves, so you know exactly what you will pay before the day. For smaller or more flexible jobs, an hourly rate may be more suitable, which we will explain clearly when you enquire.
Using a professional removals company offers several advantages over hiring a van yourself or using a casual man-and-van service:
While DIY may appear cheaper initially, the time, effort and risk involved often outweigh the savings, especially for full home or office moves.
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to clear, professional standards:
Full details of our cover and terms are available on request, and we are happy to discuss how they apply to your specific move.
We handle every move with care. To protect your belongings and your property, we use:
We are also mindful of sustainability. Where possible, we:
Our aim is to move you efficiently while minimising waste and environmental impact.
Many of our customers move between properties within the local area, often upsizing or downsizing. We coordinate keys, timings and parking so that the move from one local address to another happens on the same day without unnecessary waiting.
When a small business relocates, keeping disruption to a minimum is crucial. We can move your office after hours or at weekends, transport IT equipment securely and position furniture so that staff can resume work quickly.
Sometimes moves must happen at short notice due to changes in completion dates, tenancy deadlines or other pressures. Subject to availability, we can often respond quickly with a suitable vehicle and team for urgent moves in and around Hither Green.
The cost of a removal in Hither Green depends on the volume of your belongings, access at both addresses, distance travelled and any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. Smaller flat moves locally can often be completed in half a day, while larger house or office moves may require a full day or more. We provide tailored quotes rather than one-size-fits-all pricing, so you know exactly what is included. Contact us with basic details of your move and we will provide a clear, no-obligation estimate.
We can often assist with same-day or short-notice removals, particularly within Hither Green and nearby areas, depending on our schedule and vehicle availability. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible with your addresses and a rough idea of what needs moving. We will quickly assess what is achievable and provide a realistic time frame and cost. While advance booking is always preferable, we understand that completion dates and tenancy changes can shift, and we do our best to accommodate urgent requirements.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved, subject to our terms and conditions, and we also carry public liability cover. During your enquiry we will explain the key points, including any limits or exclusions, and invite you to highlight particularly high-value items so they can be noted. Our aim is to combine careful handling with appropriate insurance protection, giving you peace of mind that your possessions are covered from the moment we start loading until everything is unloaded at your new address.
Our standard removals service includes loading your belongings at the collection address, transport to the new property and unloading into the rooms you specify. We supply moving blankets, straps and basic protection as part of the service. Additional options include packing and unpacking, supplying packing materials, dismantling and reassembling furniture, and removing unwanted packing materials afterwards. During the quotation stage, we will go through what you need and confirm in writing what is included, so there are no surprises on moving day.
A professional removal company offers more than just transport. We provide trained staff, structured planning, appropriate insurance and a clear process for surveys, quotes and bookings. Vehicles are equipped with blankets, covers and straps, and we are used to handling full home and office moves efficiently. A basic man-and-van service may be suitable for very small, simple jobs, but for most house or business moves, the additional care, reliability and protection offered by a professional removals team significantly reduces risk, stress and the likelihood of damage.
Ideally, you should book your removal as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, particularly if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end or during busy periods such as summer. Two to four weeks’ notice is usually sufficient for most moves, but we can sometimes accommodate bookings with less notice, subject to availability. Early booking allows time for a proper survey, planning parking arrangements and discussing packing options. However, if your dates change or you have an urgent requirement, contact us and we will do our best to help.
At Man and Van Hither Green, we provide straightforward, carefully managed removals across Hither Green and the surrounding areas. As a local, experienced removals company, we handle everything from small flats to full family homes and offices, always focusing on planning, protection and clear communication.

We plan each move around access, parking, timing and any special items so that moving day runs smoothly and efficiently.

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we provide full house removals including furniture disassembly and reassembly, careful packing options, and complete placement of items in your new home.
For tenants moving between rented properties, we offer flexible removals suited to flats, house shares and studios. We can coordinate key collection times, work around lift bookings, and help ensure the property is left as agreed in your tenancy.
Landlords and letting agents use us for end-of-tenancy clearances, partial moves and furniture changes between lets. We can remove unwanted items, move in new furnishings and manage access with tenants where required.

Students benefit from cost-effective, smaller removals for term-time moves, summer storage runs and moving between shared houses. We can group items, supply boxes and keep the process simple and affordable.
If you are unsure about a particular item, let us know during the enquiry stage so we can advise or arrange suitable cover.
You can contact us by phone, email or online form with the basic details of your move: addresses, property type, approximate move date and any special items. We will discuss your requirements and provide a clear, written estimate. For straightforward moves, we can often quote based on your description and photos.
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to see access, parking, stairs and lift situations, as well as the volume of items. The survey helps us select the right vehicle size, team and time allocation, and confirm a fixed price so there are no surprises.
We offer both self-pack and professional packing options. If you pack yourself, we can supply boxes and materials. If you prefer, our trained packers will wrap and box your belongings, label rooms clearly and protect delicate items. Furniture that needs dismantling is taken apart carefully and all fixings are kept secure for reassembly.
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and begins loading. We protect floors and bannisters where needed, wrap furniture, and secure everything in the vehicle to prevent movement. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new address using planned routes to minimise delays.
At the new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing larger furniture where you want it. If we dismantled items, we reassemble them as agreed. We aim to leave you with a functional, safe living or working space before we depart, and we are happy to move items a short distance if you change your mind about positioning.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our removals in Hither Green are usually priced based on:
Your quote will specify what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for. We avoid hidden charges and discuss any potential extra costs (such as waiting for keys or long carry distances) before booking is confirmed.
Hiring a professional removals company goes beyond simply having a van. Our team brings experience, planning and the right equipment to protect your belongings and your property. Compared with DIY or a casual man-and-van, you benefit from:
This reduces the risk of injury, damage and unexpected delays, and allows you to focus on the rest of your move.
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised industry standards. All moves include appropriate goods in transit insurance, providing cover for your belongings whilst they are in our care and in our vehicles. We also maintain public liability cover, protecting you and your property during loading and unloading.
Our teams are trained in safe lifting, packing materials usage and correct securing of loads in the vehicle. We follow clear procedures for handling fragile items and always aim to minimise risk through preparation rather than relying on insurance alone.
We handle every move as if it were our own property. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are protected, and fragile boxes are stacked securely. Where possible, we use reusable transit blankets, crates and sturdy plastic boxes to reduce single-use packaging.
We also plan routes sensibly to cut unnecessary mileage and coordinate collections and deliveries in the Hither Green area when practical. Where packaging materials are used, we encourage reuse and can collect our reusable items after your move if arranged in advance.
From one-bedroom flats to large family homes, we manage complete household moves, including packing services, furniture handling and careful placement at your new address. We can coordinate with your completion time and work alongside other contractors if needed.
We help local businesses relocate within Hither Green or further afield with minimal disruption. This includes staged moves, weekend work and clear labelling so staff can quickly find what they need on the first day in the new premises.
Sometimes moves arise unexpectedly due to changes in tenancy, personal circumstances or delays in other plans. Where we have availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day removals, scaling the team to get you moved safely and efficiently even at short notice.
Costs vary depending on the size of your move, distance, access and whether you need packing or dismantling services. Smaller flat moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while full house moves are usually priced as a fixed quote after a survey. To give you an accurate figure, we will ask about property size, number of rooms and any special items. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear, written quote so you know exactly what is included and can budget with confidence.
Yes, subject to availability, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice removals in Hither Green. The more information you can provide when you contact us, the quicker we can confirm whether we have the right size vehicle and team free. Urgent moves are usually simpler if you are already packed, but we can still help with basic packing and protection if required. If your dates are flexible, we will suggest the nearest available slot that fits your timescales and budget.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved and transported by us, along with public liability cover for work carried out in and around your properties. This is intended to sit alongside your own home or contents insurance. We will outline the key points of our cover when you book, including any limits and exclusions. If you have particularly high-value items, let us know in advance so we can assess whether additional arrangements or declarations are required.
Our standard removals service includes loading, safe transport and unloading of your items into the rooms you specify. We provide moving equipment, protective blankets and securing straps as standard. At your request, we can also add services such as packing, supply of boxes and materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and disposal of unwanted household items within reasonable limits. Your quote will clearly list what is included so you know exactly what to expect on moving day and can add or remove options as needed.
While we offer a flexible van service, our removals work is planned and staffed as a structured operation, not simply transport. A casual man-and-van may move items from A to B, but our service includes trained teams, appropriate protection, careful loading plans, and insurance cover. We assess access, bring the right equipment, and commit the time and manpower needed to complete the move safely. For anything more than a few light items, a professional removals service usually proves more efficient, safer and better protected.
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking your Hither Green removal at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are tied to a specific completion day or need packing services. However, we understand that house moves do not always run to plan, so we do keep some flexibility for late changes and urgent bookings. As soon as you have a likely move date, get in touch and we will pencil you in or confirm a firm booking once your plans are finalised.
