Man with Van
Man with Van Fulham – Professional Local Moving Service
At Fulham Movers, our man with van service in Fulham is designed for fast, efficient and secure moves of all sizes. Whether you are moving a few items across town or relocating a small flat, you benefit from a professional, fully insured removals team, not just a casual van and a driver.
What Our Man with Van Service Includes
Our Fulham man with van service is a flexible, cost-effective option for smaller or more straightforward moves. You get an experienced driver and at least one trained porter, depending on the size of the job.
Typical uses include:
- Studio and one-bedroom flat moves
- Student moves to and from halls or shared houses
- Single-item or few-item collections (sofas, beds, wardrobes, appliances)
- Small office or shop relocations
- Furniture deliveries and store collections
- Part-loads and shared-loads to keep costs down
Unlike many casual services, we provide trained movers, protective equipment and structured planning so your belongings are handled correctly from start to finish.
Local Expertise in Fulham and Surrounding Areas
Working daily in Fulham means we understand local streets, parking restrictions and access challenges better than most. From narrow roads off Fulham Road and New King’s Road to busy developments near the river, we plan your move around loading bays, lift access and resident parking zones.
Our man with van teams regularly operate in:
- Fulham Broadway and Parsons Green
- Putney, Hammersmith and Chelsea borders
- Local estates, mansion blocks and modern developments
This local knowledge helps us reduce delays, avoid parking penalties and keep your move running smoothly.
Who Our Man with Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal when you are moving between smaller properties, doing a part-move during renovations, or transporting bulky items to storage. We handle everything from garden furniture to white goods with care.
Renters
If you are moving in or out of a rented flat in Fulham, our man with van option keeps costs manageable while still giving you a professional standard of service. We are used to tight stairwells, lift bookings and inventory checks.

We assist landlords with clearing or setting up properties between tenancies. That can include removing unwanted furniture, delivering new pieces, or moving items to and from storage units.

Small offices, shops and studios use our man with van service for light relocations, moving stock, equipment transfers and trade event deliveries. We can work outside normal hours to minimise disruption.

Students moving to or from Fulham benefit from a reliable, budget-conscious service. We regularly move boxes, desks, beds and bikes between halls, shared houses and self-storage facilities.

- Illegal or stolen goods
- Unboxed loose small items that cannot be safely handled

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, speak to us in advance. In many cases we can arrange a suitable solution with the right vehicle and protection.
Our Step-by-Step Man with Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with your addresses, dates and a brief list of what needs moving. We ask a few practical questions about access, parking and floors. Based on this information we give you a clear, no-obligation quote, usually on a fixed-price or hourly basis depending on what makes most sense for your move.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For simple man with van jobs, a telephone or video survey is usually enough. For more complex moves, or properties with difficult access, we can arrange an onsite survey. This ensures we send the right size vehicle, the correct number of staff and any necessary equipment such as hoists or extra protection.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or add our packing service. We supply quality boxes, tape and wrapping materials, and can pack everything or just fragile and high-risk items. Large furniture is prepared for transit by removing loose parts where necessary and protecting key areas to avoid scuffs in narrow hallways.
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our trained team arrives on time, carries out a brief walk-through, and plans the loading order. We use trolleys, moving straps and protective blankets to handle your belongings safely. Everything is loaded securely to prevent movement in transit, and your driver takes the most efficient, sensible route between properties.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify. Furniture is placed where you want it, and we can reassemble basic items we dismantled for transport. Before leaving, we invite you to check that everything has arrived and is in the right place.
Transparent Pricing for Man with Van in Fulham
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our man with van service is typically charged either:
- On an hourly rate (with a minimum booking period), or
- As a fixed price for clearly defined jobs
Rates depend on factors such as:
- Number of movers required
- Size of vehicle
- Distance between addresses
- Access issues (stairs only, long carries, parking restrictions)
- Additional services such as packing or furniture assembly
Your quote will clearly state what is included, any potential extra charges (for example, waiting time caused by building delays) and payment terms. There are no surprise add-ons on the day.
Why Choose Professional Man with Van Over DIY
Hiring a casual van or borrowing a friend’s vehicle can feel cheaper, but often ends up costing more in damage, time and stress. With Fulham Movers you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to lift, protect and load safely
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Route and access planning to avoid delays
- Accountability and professional standards
DIY moves often involve injuries, damaged furniture, scratched walls and multiple trips. Our service is designed to do the job once, correctly, and with minimal disruption to your day.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate as a fully compliant, professional removals company. That means:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties
- Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting and handling techniques
- Regularly maintained vehicles and quality protective equipment
Details of cover, limits and terms are available on request and are summarised in your booking confirmation. We encourage clients to have their own household or business insurance in place as an additional safeguard.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your belongings, your property and the environment is central to how we work. We use padded blankets, floor coverings and door protectors where needed to prevent marks and scuffs. Our teams are instructed to treat every item with respect, regardless of its age or value.
From a sustainability point of view, we:
- Offer reusable crates where suitable
- Encourage box and packing material reuse
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce fuel consumption
- Maintain vehicles regularly to improve fuel economy and reliability

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with van service in Fulham cost?
Pricing depends on how long the move will take, how many movers you need, the size of vehicle and the distance travelled. For straightforward local jobs, we often work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For clearly defined moves, we may offer a fixed price. Your quote will detail what is included, such as loading, unloading and travel time. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to talk through ways to keep costs down, such as being fully packed and ready before we arrive.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man with van bookings?
We can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Fulham, especially on weekdays. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of vehicle required. If you need a last-minute move, contact us by phone for the quickest response. We will ask a few questions about what needs moving and where it is going, then confirm if we can attend and when. While we cannot guarantee same-day availability every time, we will always do our best to offer a practical solution.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our man with van service includes goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our care, as well as public liability cover. This provides protection against loss or damage in defined circumstances. As with any insurance, there are limits and exclusions, which we will explain clearly before you book. We also recommend that you maintain your own contents or business insurance, which can offer additional peace of mind and cover items outside the scope of our policy.
What exactly is included in your man with van service?
Our standard man with van service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional driver and at least one porter, plus all loading, transport and unloading within the agreed time. We supply basic protective equipment such as blankets and straps as standard. Optional extras include packing materials, full or partial packing services, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and out-of-hours moves. Your quote and booking confirmation will clearly list what is included so you can plan properly and avoid surprises on the day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
Many basic man-and-van operators offer only a driver with limited equipment and no formal insurance. Fulham Movers provides a professional, structured removals service, delivered by trained moving teams. We carry goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, use appropriate protective materials, and plan routes and access in advance. You receive written confirmation of your booking, clear terms and an accountable point of contact. In short, you get the flexibility of a man with van, but with the standards of an established removals company.
How far in advance should I book?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your man with van service at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly if you are moving at the end or beginning of a month, or on a weekend. However, we understand that moves are not always predictable. If you need something sooner, contact us and we will check our schedule. Even when notice is short, we will try to accommodate you or propose the nearest available slot that fits your plans.
