Van and two crew · all London boroughs
Too big for a courier. Too small for a lorry.
That awkward middle is most of what we do — the Marketplace sofa, the one wardrobe, the room out of a shared house, the run to a storage unit. Full flat and house moves too.
Send photographs, not a list. Thirty seconds of pictures gets the van size right first time — and stops the single most expensive mistake in this whole category.

We do those as well, across every London borough. This site leads with the small end because that is where people struggle to find someone sensible — not because it is all we do.
The honest bit
When we tell you not to book us
If a car and a friend would genuinely do the job, we will say so. It happens fairly often — somebody describes "a few boxes and a lamp" and what they need is an afternoon and a hatchback, not a van and two crew.
Saying that costs us bookings. It also means that when we tell you that yes, the wardrobe really does need two people and a tail lift, you can believe us.
The other honest thing worth saying early: we move things, we do not verify them. If you have bought something second-hand and it is not what was advertised, that is between you and the seller. We will carry it or we will leave it, whichever you decide on the day.
On every job, including one-item ones
- Blankets and straps. A lone item in an empty van slides the whole way otherwise.
- Two people who carry, not just a driver.
- Protection for hallways — especially in shared and rented buildings.
- The street checked before the day: red route, parking zone, loading restrictions.
- Honest van sizing, from your photographs rather than a guess.
Questions
The usual questions
More on the FAQ page — or just ring and ask.
What size van do I need?
Send us photographs rather than a description — two minutes of pictures settles it. The commonest mistake in this whole category is booking a van that is slightly too small and then needing two trips, which costs more than booking the right one would have.
Can you collect from a Marketplace seller?
Yes, and it is probably the most common thing we do. We need the seller’s postcode and the floor before we quote, because a ground-floor collection and a fourth-floor one with no lift are the same sofa and completely different jobs.
Do I need to be there?
At one end at least, ideally both. For a collection from a seller, they need to be there to hand the item over; for a delivery to storage, most facilities require you present or written authority on file in advance.
Will you take a single item?
Yes. One wardrobe, one fridge, one mattress. It still gets blanketed and strapped — a lone object in an empty van slides for the whole journey otherwise.
Do you move whole flats and houses too?
Yes, across the whole of London. This site leads with the smaller end because that is where people struggle to find someone sensible, but a full flat or house move is ordinary work.
When would you tell me not to book you?
When a car and a friend would genuinely do it. We say that fairly often and it costs us bookings. It also means that when we say you do need a van, you can believe us.
