• Careful route planning to avoid congestion and school traffic

How Our Man with a Van Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your dates, addresses, and a rough list of items. We ask a few practical questions about access, floors, lifts and parking. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, either hourly or fixed-price depending on the job.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a very small move, we may arrange a quick video call or onsite visit. This lets us accurately assess volume, access, and any special handling requirements so there are no surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service for an additional charge. Either way, we supply guidance on how to pack safely. On the day, we protect furniture with blankets and covers, and use straps to secure items in the van.

4. Loading & Transport

Your driver and any additional porters carefully load the van, making best use of space and protecting fragile items. We drive directly or via the agreed route, keeping you informed of our progress. All goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while in our care.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload to the rooms you specify. We can position furniture, assemble or re-assemble basic items by prior agreement, and ensure walkways and exits are left clear and tidy before we leave.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in clear pricing with no hidden extras. Our man with a van rates in Enfield are usually:

• Hourly rates for short, local jobs with flexible time
• Fixed-price quotes for defined moves between specific addresses

Our quotes clearly state what is included – vehicle size, number of movers, estimated time, and any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. Parking costs, congestion charges and tolls are discussed upfront so you are never surprised on the day.

Why Choose a Professional Man with a Van Over DIY

Hiring a friend with a van or doing it yourself may seem cheaper, but there are important differences:

• A trained professional knows how to lift, protect and secure items safely.
• We bring the right equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys and tools.
• We are fully insured with both goods in transit and public liability cover.
• You avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to property.
• Your time is freed up to manage paperwork, keys and utilities.

In practice, using an established company minimises stress, reduces the risk of breakages, and often works out better value once you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work and potential damage.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a professional removals company, we operate to clear standards that protect you and your belongings:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are in our vehicle
• Public liability insurance for accidental damage to property or injury
• Trained moving teams with hands-on experience in lifting and loading
• Clean, well-maintained vehicles suitable for domestic and commercial work
• Written confirmations, receipts and invoices for every job

We treat your belongings as if they were our own, and we are always happy to explain exactly how our cover works for your particular move.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We place strong emphasis on care and sustainability in our man with a van work:

• Furniture is wrapped and protected with reusable moving blankets.
• Mattresses and soft furnishings can be covered to protect against dust and rain.
• We encourage re-use of boxes and offer durable, reusable crates on certain jobs.
• Routes are planned to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.
• Unwanted but usable items can be taken to local charities or recycling centres by arrangement.

This approach reduces waste and ensures your move is carried out responsibly as well as efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man with a van in Enfield cost?

Pricing depends on the size of the vehicle, number of movers, distance travelled and the time required. For small local moves, we typically charge an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while more defined jobs are priced as a fixed quote. Factors such as stairs, access difficulties, and heavy items may affect the cost, but we always explain this clearly. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with a brief description or photos of what needs moving.

Can you provide same-day or urgent man with a van services?

Yes, subject to availability we can often arrange same-day or next-day man with a van support in Enfield and surrounding areas. Urgent bookings depend on vehicle and driver schedules, as well as the size and complexity of the job. If your dates are flexible, we will suggest the nearest available slot. For genuinely last-minute moves, calling us as early as possible in the day gives the best chance of securing a suitable time and keeping costs reasonable.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Our man with a van service is covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicle, and by public liability insurance for accidental damage to property or injury. The exact cover limits and terms can be provided with your quote. We always recommend you tell us about any particularly high-value or fragile items in advance so we can make sure they are fully protected and handled appropriately throughout the move.

What’s included in your man with a van service?

Our standard service includes a professional driver, a suitable van, protective blankets, and careful loading and unloading of your belongings. We move items from the agreed pickup address to the destination and place them in the rooms you specify. You can add extra porters, packing materials, packing services and basic furniture assembly if required. Parking fees or congestion-related charges are discussed upfront. Everything that is included will be clearly listed in your written quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day.

What’s the difference between your service and a casual man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van may simply provide transport, often without formal training, insurance, or written terms. Our service is run as a professional removals operation, with fully insured vehicles, trained staff, and established procedures for protecting your possessions and property. We use appropriate equipment, plan routes carefully, and confirm all arrangements in writing. This reduces the risk of damage, delays, and misunderstandings, giving you greater peace of mind and accountability from start to finish.

How far in advance should I book?

For planned moves, we recommend booking your man with a van at least one to two weeks in advance, especially for Fridays, weekends and month-end dates, which are usually busiest. However, we do our best to accommodate shorter notice when possible. If you know your preferred date but not all the details yet, you can still make a provisional booking and confirm the finer points closer to the time, subject to our availability.
