Perfect for moving smaller homes, clearing storage, collecting furniture, or handling part-loads before or after a main move. We regularly help homeowners move items between homes, into storage, or to family members.

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our man with a van service:
If you are unsure whether an item can be moved, we will clarify this during your enquiry so there are no surprises on the day.
You contact us with details of your move: addresses, access information, dates, and a rough list of items. Based on this, we recommend the right size van, number of movers and likely time needed. We then provide a clear, written quote with no hidden extras.
For simple moves, a phone call and photos are usually enough. For larger or more complex jobs, we can carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This ensures we understand parking, stairs, lift access and any particularly heavy or fragile items.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service at additional cost. Either way, we offer guidance on safe packing and labelling. On the day, we bring blankets, covers and basic tools for simple disassembly and reassembly where agreed.
Our trained team loads your belongings carefully, using straps and padding to minimise movement during transit. We plan the route in advance, keeping an eye on traffic and roadworks across Shepherds Bush and surrounding areas to keep your journey as smooth as possible.
At your destination, we unload into the rooms you choose, not just inside the front door. We can place furniture where you want it and assemble pre-agreed items. Before leaving, we check that everything on our inventory has been delivered and positioned to your satisfaction.

Costs depend on:

The result is a smoother move with less stress, fewer breakages and a greater level of protection if something does go wrong.
We operate to recognised industry standards, giving you confidence that your belongings are in safe hands:
Policy details and limits are available on request, and we are always happy to explain how cover works in plain language.
We treat your belongings and your property with respect. Vans are equipped with blankets, floor protectors and trolleys to reduce risk of scuffs and scrapes. We take time to plan the load so that fragile items are not crushed or exposed.
Sustainability also matters. Where possible we:
We can also remove unwanted furniture for recycling or donation where feasible, helping to reduce landfill, subject to agreement and any relevant charges.

From shifting a few desks to relocating a small office, our man with a van service gives you the flexibility to move in stages around your working hours.
Because of our local base, we can sometimes accommodate same-day or next-day moves, subject to availability. This is particularly useful for emergency relocations, last-minute tenancy changes or urgent furniture collections.
Pricing depends on the size of van, number of movers, distance and how long the job takes. Many local moves are charged by the hour with a minimum hire period, while more complex jobs may be priced as a fixed quote. To keep costs down, have your items packed and ready, secure parking where possible and provide an accurate inventory. Once we know the details, we give a clear written estimate so you know exactly what to budget for.
We can often arrange same-day or next-day man with a van services in Shepherds Bush, especially for smaller moves or single-item jobs. Availability depends on our schedule and the time of your call, so it’s best to contact us as early as possible. If we can’t fit you in at your preferred time, we usually offer the closest alternative. For urgent moves, having a clear list of items and addresses ready helps us confirm quickly whether we can assist.
Yes. Our man with a van service includes goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and limits. We also hold public liability cover for added protection. Some items, such as high-value jewellery or cash, are excluded from cover and should be moved personally. We are happy to explain how our insurance works and, if needed, advise you on arranging additional cover for particularly valuable possessions.
You receive a van of suitable size, a professional driver-mover (and extra porters if required), protective blankets and standard handling equipment. We load your items, transport them between the agreed addresses and unload them into the rooms you specify. Basic disassembly and reassembly of simple furniture can be included if agreed in advance. Optional extras, such as packing, packing materials and waste disposal, are available at additional cost. All inclusions and exclusions are clearly set out in your booking confirmation.
We are an established removals company, not an informal side business. That means trained staff, fully insured vehicles, written quotes and proper scheduling. Our vans carry professional-grade blankets, straps and trolleys, and our teams are experienced in handling everything from flats to small offices. If something goes wrong, you have a clear point of contact and documented terms. In short, you get the flexibility of a man with a van with the standards and accountability of a reputable removals firm.
For weekend moves and busy times at the end of the month, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead to secure your preferred slot. For midweek and off-peak times, we can often accommodate bookings with a few days’ notice, and sometimes even same-day. The more notice you give us, the easier it is to match your ideal date and time. However, we always do our best to help with late bookings wherever our schedule allows.
