What Our Man with a Van Service Includes

This service is ideal when you do not need a full-scale removals crew, but still want a professional, fully insured move. We provide:

• Dedicated man with a van team (driver plus porters as required)
• Modern, clean, well-maintained vans with securing points and protective blankets
• Loading, transport and unloading as standard
• Optional packing, dismantling and reassembly
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover

Everything is handled by experienced, uniformed staff – not casual labour. We treat every job, however small, with the same level of planning and care as a full household move.

Local Expertise: Your Man with a Van in Fulham

Fulham has its own challenges: tight terraces, controlled parking zones, one-way systems and time-restricted loading bays. Our teams work across SW6 every day and know the local streets, building managers and typical access issues inside out.

We routinely coordinate with building concierges, arrange parking suspensions where needed (with appropriate notice), and plan routes to avoid bottlenecks. This local knowledge keeps your move on schedule and minimises disruption to neighbours and businesses.

Who Our Man with a Van Service Is For

Homeowners

Perfect for smaller house moves, partial moves or when you are staging your property for sale and need furniture moved into storage. We handle bulky items, protect floors and doorways, and work to agreed timings with your buyers or estate agent.

Renters

Whether you are moving between flats in Fulham or into the area, we can move your possessions in one or two van loads. We are used to stair-only access, tight hallways and shared entrances, and we take care to avoid any damage that could affect your deposit.

Landlords

We assist landlords and letting agents with tenant changeovers, furniture swaps, and clearance of unwanted items (within our excluded items list). We can work to short timelines between tenancies, including evenings and weekends by arrangement.

Businesses

Smaller office relocations, internal reshuffles, store deliveries or event set-ups all suit a flexible man with a van solution. We can move IT equipment, desks, stock and files, and we can schedule out-of-hours moves to limit disruption to your trading.

Students

Moving into or out of student accommodation in or around Fulham? Our service is ideal for single-room moves, with fair pricing for smaller loads and term-time moves. We help with loading, so you do not have to carry heavy boxes up and down stairs alone.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Included Items

Our man with a van service typically covers:

• Household furniture – sofas, beds, tables, wardrobes, drawers
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, dryers (appropriately disconnected)
• Boxes and bags of personal belongings
• Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment (packed or boxed)
• Office furniture and equipment
• Sports equipment, bikes and gym items
• Non-fragile garden furniture and tools (clean and dry)

Excluded Items

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we generally cannot carry:

• Illegal or stolen goods
• Live animals or pets
• Unboxed loose glass, panes or very high-value artwork without prior agreement
• Industrial machinery or oversized items beyond safe manual handling limits
• Perishable food for long-distance journeys

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise before the move so there are no surprises on the day.

How Our Man with a Van Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to move, addresses, access notes and preferred dates. We ask clear, practical questions to understand the size of the job, any parking restrictions and whether packing or dismantling are required. Based on this, we provide a transparent estimate with no hidden extras.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small load, we recommend a quick video or onsite survey. This helps us confirm van size, number of porters and time required. It also allows us to assess staircases, lifts, corridors and parking so we can plan the move safely and efficiently.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or choose our packing service. If we pack, we bring suitable cartons, tape and wrapping materials, label everything and prepare fragile items correctly. We can also dismantle beds, tables and wardrobes where needed, and protect mattresses and upholstery before they are moved.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you, and starts loading. We use blankets, straps and specialist equipment to secure your belongings and protect both items and property. Then we transport everything directly to your new address via the most efficient route.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. If agreed in advance, we reassemble furniture and reconnect simple items. Before we leave, we do a final check with you to ensure everything listed has been delivered and placed where you want it.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

Our man with a van pricing is clear and straightforward. We typically price smaller moves on an hourly rate, with a minimum booking period, and larger or fixed-scope moves on a set price.

Your quote will outline:

• Number of movers and size of van
• Hourly or fixed rate agreed
• Travel time or congestion/parking charges where applicable
• Any optional services (packing, dismantling, disposal of permitted items)

We do not add unexpected charges on the day. If circumstances change – for example, if access is significantly different from what was described – we discuss options with you before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional Movers Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Hiring a cheap, casual van may look attractive at first glance, but it often comes with risks: no insurance, no protection materials, and little regard for your property or time. With Fulham Movers you benefit from:

• Trained teams who move heavy and awkward items safely
• Fully insured cover if the unexpected happens
• Proper lifting techniques and equipment to reduce risk of injury or damage
• Reliable timekeeping and clear communication
• Documented bookings and receipts for landlords, employers or tax purposes

Our aim is to take the stress, uncertainty and physical strain out of your move, while still offering the flexibility of a man with a van service.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Every move is protected by:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are in our care and being transported, subject to policy terms
• Public liability cover – protecting you and the properties we work in

Our staff are trained in packing, lifting and handling techniques and follow clear procedures for fragile and high-value items. Vans are clean, regularly checked and equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys as standard. We maintain professional standards at every stage, from quote through to final sign-off.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We work carefully, but also responsibly:

• Protective covers for mattresses, sofas and key furniture items
• Floor and banister protection where required
• Secure loading to minimise movement in transit
• Reuse of durable packing materials wherever safe and appropriate
• Responsible disposal of permitted unwanted items through licensed sites

Where possible, we consolidate local journeys, maintain our vehicles efficiently to reduce emissions, and encourage clients to reuse or recycle boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man with a van in Fulham cost?

Pricing depends on the size of van, number of movers and the time required. Smaller local moves are usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger or more complex moves can be priced as a fixed quote. Factors such as stairs, awkward access, parking restrictions and distance between addresses all play a part. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear written estimate so you know exactly what is included before you book.

Can you provide same-day or urgent man with a van service?

We can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Fulham, particularly on weekdays, but it always depends on current bookings and team availability. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with your addresses, access details and a rough list of items. We will quickly confirm whether we can help, suggest practical options, and give you a realistic arrival window. Where same-day is not feasible, we will usually be able to offer the earliest available slot, often the next day.

What insurance cover do you provide?

All man with a van moves are backed by goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded, subject to policy terms and any declared values. We also carry public liability cover, which protects you and the properties we work in. We handle items carefully to avoid any issues, but insurance provides additional peace of mind. If you have particularly high-value or unusual items, let us know so we can advise on any specific requirements.

What is included in your man with a van removals service?

As standard, we provide a professional driver, suitable van, protective blankets, straps, and at least one porter to help carry and load your items. We load, transport and unload into the rooms you specify. At your request, we can add services such as packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, or transport to storage. We will clearly list what is and is not included in your quote, including any parking or congestion costs, so you have a full picture of the service before you confirm your booking.

How is a professional man with a van different from a basic van hire?

With a basic van hire, you drive, load and unload everything yourself, and you are usually not covered for damage to your belongings. A casual man-and-van operator may not be insured or trained. With our professional service, you get experienced movers, fully insured cover, proper equipment and clear terms. We plan the job, protect your items, manage access, and handle the heavy lifting. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and injuries, and usually makes the overall move quicker and less stressful.

How far in advance should I book?

For weekends, month-end dates and peak moving periods, we recommend booking at least two weeks ahead to secure your preferred slot. For standard weekday moves, a week’s notice is often sufficient, though we will always try to help at shorter notice. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we have on timings and van sizes. Even if your dates are not yet fixed, it is worth speaking to us so we can pencil you in and advise on availability around your likely move window.
