Man and Van London & Surrey — from £60/h | The Chain Movers

Man and Van

Man and van — flexible, hourly, no fuss

From single items to small moves. Giant Luton vans, trained crews, hourly rates from £60/h across London and Surrey.

When to use our man and van service

Man and van isn’t for every job. If you’re moving a whole 4-bedroom house, you probably want a full removal. But for plenty of other situations, a man and van is the right tool:

  • Student or studio flat moves
  • Single-item deliveries — a sofa, a wardrobe, a new mattress
  • Collecting furniture you’ve bought second-hand
  • Moving one or two rooms of a shared house
  • Taking stuff to storage or the tip
  • Office or commercial pickups and deliveries

Pricing — straight talk

We charge by the hour. The hourly rate covers the van, the fuel, the team, and goods-in-transit insurance. There’s a two-hour minimum because even a five-minute job takes a chunk of someone’s day.

Bigger loads, heavy furniture, stairs

All vans are giant Luton vans — 650+ cubic feet, with tail lifts and straps. Most 1-bedroom flats fit in a single load.

What our crews won’t do

We’re straight with people — some things aren’t a good fit for a man and van service:

  • We won’t move pianos, safes, or anything over 100kg without extra planning
  • We don’t do international or long-distance same-day (ask about our regular removal service for that)
  • We won’t ram items into a van that doesn’t fit them, or promise a two-hour slot for a job that needs four

We’d rather tell you honestly upfront than show up and disappoint you on the day.
