Man with a Van Roehampton
At Man and Van Roehampton, our man with a van service is designed for people who want a reliable, professional move without the cost and complexity of a big removal lorry. We combine the flexibility of a smaller vehicle with the standards of a fully insured, trained removals company that works across Roehampton and the surrounding South West London areas.
What Our Man with a Van Service Includes
Our service is a scaled-down, flexible removals option, ideal when you do not need a full-size removals crew but still want things done properly. You get an experienced driver–porter plus, where required, extra porters to handle heavier or multiple items.

- Homeowners moving smaller properties, part loads or single rooms
- Renters moving flats, house shares or studio apartments
- Landlords clearing or refurnishing properties between tenancies

- Students moving into or out of halls and shared houses in Roehampton and nearby campuses
Typical Items We Move
We regularly move:
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes, chests of drawers
- Sofas, armchairs, dining tables and chairs
- Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other white goods
- TVs, computers, home office equipment
- Boxes, suitcases, bags and plastic crates
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and archive boxes

- Illegal, stolen or hazardous items
- Gas bottles, fuel containers or explosive/flammable materials
- Industrial machinery not prepared for transport
- Unboxed loose liquids, paints or chemicals
- Pets or live animals
- Very high-value fine art or jewellery without prior agreement
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you before booking.
Local Roehampton Expertise
Based in Roehampton, we know the area well – from the estates off Danebury Avenue and the Alton Estate through to Roehampton Village, all the way towards Putney, Barnes and Richmond Park. That local knowledge matters when it comes to:
- Navigating narrow residential streets and controlled parking zones
- Planning access routes for flats, maisonettes and estates
- Avoiding peak-time traffic where possible
- Dealing with parking suspensions and loading restrictions
Because we work here day in, day out, we can usually suggest the most efficient timing and access arrangements for your move.
Step-by-Step Man with a Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the details of your move: addresses, rough inventory, access information and preferred dates. We provide a clear, no-obligation quotation based on the information you give us. For smaller moves, this can usually be done quickly over the phone or by email.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For more complex or heavier jobs, we may recommend a short virtual survey via video call or, if necessary, a quick onsite visit in Roehampton. This helps us confirm the size of van, number of porters and time required, so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
Most man with a van jobs are customer-packed, but we still offer bespoke packing and materials supply if you need them. We can provide boxes, tape, bubble wrap and protective covers. On the day, we’ll protect key items with blankets and wraps as standard, and we’ll talk you through any extra preparation needed for appliances or furniture.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team will carefully load your belongings, using transit blankets, straps and proper lifting techniques. We plan the load so items are secure and well balanced in the van. Your goods are then transported directly to the destination in Roehampton or further afield, following the agreed route and timings.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify, not just at the front door. We will position larger items such as beds, wardrobes and white goods where you want them and take reasonable care not to mark walls, floors or doorways as we move through the property.
Transparent Man with a Van Pricing
We believe pricing should be simple and transparent. Our man with a van service is usually charged on an hourly basis, with a minimum booking period depending on the size of van and number of movers.
What Affects the Cost?
- Number of porters required (e.g. one man vs two men and a van)
- Size of van (small, medium or large)
- Total time from arrival to final unloading
- Distance between addresses
- Stairs, lifts and access complexity
- Optional extras such as packing or materials
Your quote will clearly set out our rates and any additional charges (for example, congestion charge, parking or out-of-hours work) before you confirm the booking.
Why Choose a Professional Man with a Van Over DIY?
Hiring a casual man and van or doing it yourself might look cheaper on paper, but there are hidden costs and risks. With a professional service like ours you benefit from:
- A fully insured company with goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Trained movers who understand safe lifting and loading
- Proper equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Well-maintained vehicles built for removals work
- Clear terms, confirmed times and written booking details
This reduces the chance of damaged furniture, injuries, delays and disputes. You keep control of your schedule, while we handle the heavy work.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As a professional removals operator, Man and Van Roehampton takes protection and standards seriously.
- Goods in Transit Insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our vehicle, subject to our standard terms and conditions.
- Public Liability Cover – protects against accidental damage or injury caused by our work on site.
- Trained Moving Teams – staff are trained in handling, lifting, loading and customer care.
We operate written procedures for handling fragile, bulky and awkward items. If you have high-value pieces, tell us in advance so we can plan extra protection.
Care, Protection & Sustainability
We aim to move your belongings safely while minimising waste and environmental impact.
- Use of reusable furniture blankets and protective covers
- Encouraging the re-use of boxes and crates where practical
- Modern, well-serviced vehicles to reduce unnecessary emissions
- Careful route planning to avoid backtracking and congestion where possible
- Advice on responsible disposal or donation of unwanted items
Care for your possessions and care for the local environment go hand in hand. We work tidily and leave loading areas as we found them.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Man with a Van in Roehampton
Moving House or Flat
Perfect for one- and two-bedroom flats, studio moves and part-load house moves where a full removal lorry would be excessive. We can handle everything from a few large items to a complete small property.
Office and Small Business Moves
Ideal for small offices, shops or self-employed professionals moving between workspaces in Roehampton, Putney and surrounding areas. We move desks, chairs, IT equipment and boxed files with minimal disruption.

Students at Roehampton University and nearby institutions often use our service for start- and end-of-term moves. We can collect from halls, private rentals or storage units and deliver door to door at an affordable rate.
Urgent or Same-Day Moves

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with a van in Roehampton cost?
Costs depend mainly on time, number of movers and van size. We usually charge an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, plus any applicable extras such as congestion charge or parking. Smaller student or flat moves within Roehampton are often completed within a few hours, while larger or more complex jobs may take longer. Once we know what needs moving and from where to where, we’ll give you a clear, no-obligation quote so you know the total expected cost before you book.
Can you do same-day or urgent man with a van bookings?
Yes, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice man with a van jobs in Roehampton, depending on our schedule and the size of the move. Call us as early as you can with the details so we can check availability and allocate the right vehicle and team. Urgent moves are handled with the same care and professional standards as pre-planned bookings, but flexibility is key, so be prepared for a short arrival window and straightforward access at both ends.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle, subject to policy terms, packing quality and declared values. We also hold public liability cover for work at your property. We’ll explain the main conditions before you confirm your booking. For unusually high-value items, we may need extra details or may suggest additional cover. We always handle your belongings carefully, but insurance is there for peace of mind should the unexpected happen.
What is included in your man with a van service?
Our standard service includes the van, driver, the agreed number of porters, fuel, basic furniture protection and loading and unloading at both addresses. We place items in the rooms you choose and use blankets and straps to protect and secure loads in transit. Optional extras include packing, dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, and supply of boxes and packing materials. We’ll confirm exactly what is and isn’t included in your written quotation so everything is clear from the outset.
What is the difference between a removal service and a man with a van?
A full removal service typically involves a larger team, bigger vehicles, comprehensive packing and more detailed planning, ideal for whole-house or large office moves. Our man with a van service is a more flexible, smaller-scale option suited to flats, partial moves or single items. You still benefit from a professional, fully insured company, but with a simpler, more cost-effective setup. If you’re unsure which you need, tell us what you’re moving and we’ll recommend the most suitable and economical option.
How far in advance should I book?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at weekends and month-end, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. However, we know that smaller moves are often arranged at short notice, so we always try to accommodate last-minute requests where we can. Once you know your moving date, contact us with the details and we’ll confirm availability, provide a firm quote and secure your booking. The earlier you book, the more flexibility we have on exact timing.
