• TVs, computers, audio equipment and office electronics

Items We Cannot Move

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need prior agreement:

Our Step-by-Step Man with Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online form with your pick-up and drop-off addresses, dates, and a rough list of items. We will ask a few focused questions about access, floors, and any awkward pieces. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For simple, smaller moves, a detailed phone call or video survey is often enough. For larger properties or more complex jobs, we may arrange an onsite visit in Dulwich or nearby. This helps us check access, parking, and staircases so we can send the right size vehicle, the right number of movers, and any special equipment.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service at an additional cost. We supply quality packing materials on request. On moving day, our trained team protect furniture with blankets, covers and straps, and carefully prepare large items for transport, including basic dismantling of beds and tables where agreed.

4. Loading & Transport

Our movers systematically load your belongings into the van, placing heavy items at the bottom and securing everything with professional-grade straps and padding. We plan the route to avoid unnecessary delays and drive steadily to protect your goods. All moves are covered by our goods in transit insurance for added peace of mind.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload items into the rooms you indicate, not just the doorstep. We place furniture where you want it as reasonably as access allows, and reassemble any items we dismantled as part of the move. Before we leave, we do a quick walk-through with you to ensure everything has been unloaded and placed correctly.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

Our man with van pricing is simple and transparent. We usually work on either:

• Hourly rates – ideal for smaller local moves and flexible jobs
• Fixed-price quotes – better for full home or office moves with a clear inventory

Your quote will explain what is included: vehicle size, number of movers, estimated time, and any extras such as packing, materials or disposal. There are no hidden charges: any potential parking fees, congestion or ULEZ charges are discussed upfront. If your requirements change, we explain the cost implications before proceeding.

Why Choose a Professional Man with Van Over DIY

Hiring a professional man with van in Dulwich is often more cost-effective – and far less stressful – than doing it yourself or relying on a casual, unvetted driver.

• Trained movers who know how to lift safely and protect your belongings
• Proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Reliable vehicles, maintained and equipped for removals
• Correct protective equipment: blankets, straps, trolleys and covers
• Experience navigating Dulwich traffic, parking restrictions and building layouts

DIY moves often mean multiple trips, damaged furniture, exhausted friends and unexpected costs. A structured, professional service reduces risk and lets you focus on settling into your new space.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance – protects your items while they are in our vehicle, subject to policy terms.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or third parties while we work.
• Trained, uniformed staff – experienced removals professionals, not casual labourers.

We follow industry best practice on loading, securing and handling furniture, appliances and delicate items. Before each job, we confirm key details in writing so you know exactly what to expect.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Your belongings and your property are treated with respect. We use floor protectors where needed, wrap delicate items, and protect doorways and bannisters in tight Dulwich properties. Our vans carry blankets, shrink wrap and furniture covers for added protection.

We also aim to work as sustainably as practical. We consolidate journeys where possible, keep our vehicles well maintained for better fuel efficiency, and offer the option of reusable crates for larger moves. Whenever we dispose of unwanted items on your behalf, we use licensed waste facilities and encourage reuse and donation where suitable.

Real-World Man with Van Use Cases in Dulwich

Moving House or Flat

From Victorian terraces near Dulwich Village to modern apartments around East Dulwich, we handle full and part moves. Many clients use us to move essentials on completion day, or to do staged moves into storage and then into a new home.

Office and Business Relocations

We support small businesses, clinics and studios moving within Dulwich or to nearby areas. This can include desks, chairs, IT equipment, stock, and archive boxes, often scheduled outside normal working hours to minimise disruption.

Same-Day and Urgent Moves

When plans change at the last minute – tenancy dates brought forward, sales completing sooner than expected, or urgent clear-outs – we do our best to offer same-day or next-day man with van availability in Dulwich, subject to our schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man with van service in Dulwich cost?

Costs depend mainly on the size of the vehicle, the number of movers, the distance involved and how long the job takes. Smaller local moves may be charged at an hourly rate, which is ideal if your requirements are flexible. Larger or more defined moves are usually quoted as a fixed price based on an inventory and access details. To give an accurate figure, we will ask a few questions or carry out a quick survey. All quotes clearly set out what is included so you can budget with confidence.

Can you provide same-day or urgent man with van in Dulwich?

We regularly help with short-notice and urgent moves, including same-day jobs when our schedule allows. Availability varies depending on the time of year and time of day, but it is always worth calling to check, especially if you are flexible about start times. If we cannot fit you in exactly when you want, we will usually be able to offer an alternative slot or suggest a practical workaround, such as a part-move or evening collection. The more information you can give us when you call, the quicker we can confirm options.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Our service includes goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while they are in our vehicle, subject to policy terms and any specified limits. We also hold public liability cover in case accidental damage occurs to third-party property while we are working. During your booking, we explain the key points in plain language so you understand what is and is not covered. If you have particularly high-value or unusual items, let us know in advance so we can check whether extra cover or specialist handling is required.

What is included in a typical man with van service?

A typical service includes the vehicle, one or more professional movers, loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide removal blankets, straps and basic protective equipment as standard. If agreed in advance, we can also dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture and disconnect simple appliances, though gas and hard-wired electrics must be handled by qualified tradespeople. Additional services such as packing, supply of boxes and disposal of unwanted items can be added for a clear extra cost. Everything included will be listed in your written confirmation.

What is the difference between a removals service and a man with van?

In practice, our professional man with van service overlaps with smaller-scale removals. The main differences are scale and structure. A full removals service typically involves larger vehicles, a bigger team and more extensive planning, often including full packing and storage. A man with van is usually more flexible and cost-effective for smaller or local moves, part loads and single items. At Man with Van Dulwich, both services are delivered by the same trained, fully insured team – we simply match the level of service to what you actually need.

How far in advance should I book?

For weekends, month-end dates and peak moving periods, booking one to two weeks in advance is sensible, especially if you have fixed timings or access slots. For smaller local moves on weekdays, we can often accommodate bookings with just a few days’ notice, and sometimes even on the same day. The earlier you contact us, the more choice you will have on times and pricing. If your dates are not confirmed yet, we can pencil in provisional slots and firm them up once your plans are finalised.
