Man and Van
Man and Van Enfield – Enfield Movers
At Enfield Movers, our Man and Van Enfield service is a flexible, professional option for smaller moves, single items and quick relocations across Enfield and North London. Run by an experienced removals team, it bridges the gap between a casual man-with-a-van and a full removals crew – with the same care, planning and fully insured standards we apply to full house moves.
What Our Man and Van Service Includes
Our Man and Van Enfield service is ideal when you need a reliable vehicle and a trained mover (or small team) rather than a large removals crew. You get:
- Modern, well-maintained removals van with protective equipment
- Trained driver-loader (and extra porters if needed)
- Collection and delivery anywhere in Enfield, London or the UK
- Careful loading, securing and unloading of your belongings
- Optional packing, dismantling and reassembly services
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
It’s a straightforward, time-based service designed around your specific requirements, with transparent pricing and no hidden extras.

Who Our Man and Van Service Is For
Our service is flexible enough to suit a wide range of customers:
Homeowners
Perfect for partial house moves, taking items into storage, or moving a few larger pieces between properties. If you don’t need a full removal crew, our man and van option keeps things cost-effective while still professional and well-organised.
Renters
Ideal for flat moves, studio apartments and room-to-room relocations. We’re used to tight stairwells, lift bookings and parking bays, and can often complete a typical one-bed or studio move in a single trip with the right sized van.
Landlords
We help landlords clear or deliver furniture, remove unwanted items between tenancies, and reposition white goods. We operate respectfully in shared buildings and can work to short notice when a changeover is approaching.
Businesses
For small office moves, equipment deliveries, or internal relocations, our professional man and van team handle IT equipment, files, stock and furniture with care. We can work outside normal hours to minimise disruption.
Students
Students often need something more reliable than a friend’s car, but don’t require a full removals team. We regularly move boxes, suitcases, desks and beds to and from halls, shared houses and storage facilities around Enfield and wider London.
What We Can and Can’t Move
Items Commonly Included
Our Man and Van Enfield service is suitable for most everyday household and office items, including:
- Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines (disconnected)
- Boxes, suitcases and bags
- Office furniture and IT equipment
- Sports equipment, bikes and hobby items
- Moderate value items such as TVs, sound systems and monitors
Excluded or Restricted Items
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we generally cannot move:
- Hazardous materials (fuels, paints, chemicals, gas cylinders)
- Live animals or pets
- Illegal goods of any kind
- Unboxed loose items that cannot be moved safely
- Very high-value items (fine art, large safes, specialist machinery) – these may require a dedicated service
If you’re unsure about a particular item, tell us during your enquiry and we’ll advise whether it can be moved under our Goods in transit insurance.
Our Step-by-Step Man and Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: addresses, access information, list or photos of items, and preferred dates. We’ll ask clear, practical questions so we can recommend the right van size, number of movers and estimated time. We then give you a straightforward quote, usually based on an hourly rate plus any agreed extras.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For simple jobs, photos or a short video call are often enough. For more involved moves, or awkward access, we may arrange a quick onsite survey in Enfield or nearby. This helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures we send suitable equipment, such as additional porters, tools or protection materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service at an additional cost. We can also supply boxes and packing materials in advance. Heavy items like washing machines should be disconnected, and fragile items well-protected. We’ll advise on best practice so everything is ready for loading.
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our trained mover(s) arrive on time, introduce themselves and walk through the job with you. We protect furniture as needed, load methodically and secure everything using straps and blankets. Once on the road, we take the most efficient route we reasonably can, keeping you informed of our progress if travelling longer distances.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your destination, we place items into the rooms you indicate, not just at the front door. We’ll reassemble any furniture we dismantled as part of the agreed service, and do a final check with you before we leave to ensure everything is where it should be and nothing has been missed.
Transparent Man and Van Pricing
We keep our pricing clear and easy to understand. Typically, our Man and Van Enfield service is charged:
- On an hourly basis, with a minimum booking period
- Rates based on van size and number of movers
- Fixed travel time or mileage for longer-distance jobs
Any additional services – such as packing, materials, dismantling/reassembly, or out-of-hours work – are agreed upfront. There are no hidden fuel surcharges within Enfield and nearby areas, and we always explain any potential extra costs (for example, congestion charges or parking fees) before confirming your booking.
Why Choose Professional Man and Van Over DIY
Hiring a casual man-with-a-van or doing it yourself can seem cheaper, but it often risks damage, delays and personal injury. With Enfield Movers you get:
- Trained movers who know how to lift and protect items properly
- Fully insured service, including Goods in transit and public liability
- Suitable equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and tools
- Reliable arrival times and clear communication
- A company that takes responsibility if something goes wrong
This means less stress, fewer risks, and a smoother experience from start to finish.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a reputable Enfield removals company, we operate to high professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they’re in our vehicle, subject to policy terms
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to property or third parties
- Trained moving teams – staff briefed in safe handling, loading and customer care
- Documented bookings and confirmations, so you know exactly what to expect
We treat your possessions as if they were our own, and we’re always happy to discuss specific coverage limits or requirements before your move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Care and protection are central to how we work. We use padded blankets, ties and floor protection where needed, and we plan the order of loading so that delicate items are not crushed. We also aim to work as sustainably as practical by:
- Re-using durable packing materials where appropriate
- Planning efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Offering collection of used boxes for reuse or recycling when agreed
Our goal is to move your items safely while keeping waste and environmental impact as low as we reasonably can.
Real-World Uses for Our Man and Van Service
Moving House or Flat
Not every home move needs a large lorry. If you’re moving a one-bed flat, downsizing, or only taking selected items, our man and van option can be the right scale – saving you cost while still benefitting from a professional team.
Small Office Relocations
We regularly help small businesses move between serviced offices, shops or workspaces. From desks and chairs to computers and archived files, we can handle relocations outside normal working hours to keep your business running smoothly.
Urgent or Same-Day Moves
Life isn’t always predictable. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day man and van support for urgent moves, last-minute clearances or time-sensitive deliveries. It’s always worth calling to check our current availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and van service in Enfield cost?
Pricing usually depends on three main factors: the size of van required, how many movers you need, and how long the job is likely to take. We normally work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, and we’ll estimate the total time based on the information you provide. Additional costs, such as congestion charges, parking fees or longer-distance mileage, are always discussed in advance. For an accurate figure, contact us with a list of items and both postcodes, and we’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man and van bookings?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent bookings, especially within Enfield and nearby areas, depending on our schedule and the size of job. The more information you can give us when you call – including a clear item list, addresses and access details – the quicker we can confirm whether we have a suitable van and team available. Urgent moves are generally booked on a first-come, first-served basis, so it’s best to contact us as early in the day as possible to maximise the chances of securing a slot.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our man and van service includes Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they’re in our vehicle, as well as public liability cover for work at your property. As with any policy, certain conditions and limits apply, so we always recommend that you tell us about any particularly fragile or valuable items in advance. We can then confirm whether they’re covered under our standard insurance or whether a specialist arrangement would be better. We’re happy to explain our cover in plain language before you book.
What’s included in your man and van removals service?
Our standard service includes the van, driver, loading, transport and unloading of your items, plus basic protective equipment such as blankets and straps. Within Enfield and the local area, travel time to and from our base is usually factored clearly into the quote so you know what you’re paying for. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and out-of-hours or weekend work. We’ll agree everything with you upfront so there are no surprises on the day.
How is your service different from a casual man-with-a-van?
While the term sounds similar, our offering is closer to a scaled-down removals service than an informal courier. You get trained staff, a fully insured operation, proper equipment and a structured process from enquiry to completion. We survey more complex jobs, plan access, and take responsibility for the safe handling of your goods. In contrast, a casual operator may not have adequate insurance, may rely on unsafe lifting practices, and may not provide written confirmation of what’s been agreed, which can create problems if something goes wrong.
How far in advance should I book a man and van in Enfield?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as month-end or weekends. However, we understand that smaller moves are sometimes arranged at short notice, and we do our best to accommodate these whenever we can. If your timing is flexible, we can often suggest quieter slots that may be more cost-effective. The earlier you contact us, the more options we’ll have to tailor the move around your schedule.
