At Man and Van Wallington, we provide carefully planned, fully managed furniture removals across Wallington and the surrounding areas. Whether you are moving a single sofa, a full flat, or an entire office, our professional team handles your furniture as if it were our own – safely, efficiently and with clear communication at every stage.

Local Furniture Removal Experts in Wallington

Working in Wallington day in, day out means we know the area extremely well – from tight terraced streets and busy school runs to parking restrictions and access issues in modern developments.

That local knowledge allows us to plan your move realistically: we factor in traffic patterns, loading restrictions, building layouts and lift access. For you, that means fewer delays, less stress, and a move that runs to schedule, whether you are moving within Wallington or to/from nearby areas such as Croydon, Carshalton, Purley and Sutton.

Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For

Our Wallington furniture removals service is flexible enough to suit almost any type of move:

• Homeowners – Full house moves, part loads, and single high‑value items such as pianos, wardrobes, sideboards and dining sets.
• Renters – Flat and apartment moves, including top‑floor and lift‑access properties, with careful protection of hallways and communal areas.
• Landlords – Furniture swaps between properties, clearance of old furniture and delivery of new items in time for new tenants.
• Businesses – Office desks, boardroom tables, filing cabinets, reception furniture and staff breakout areas, moved with minimal downtime.
• Students – Cost‑effective small moves between halls, shared houses, and storage units around term time.

What Our Furniture Removals Include

Items Commonly Moved

We routinely handle a wide range of furniture and related items, including:

• Sofas, armchairs, recliners and sofa beds
• Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
• Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
• Office desks, meeting tables and storage units
• Bookshelves, TV units and entertainment systems
• Garden furniture, benches and lightweight outdoor items
• Flat‑pack furniture (dismantled or assembled as arranged)

Items We Cannot Move

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our standard furniture removals service:

• Hazardous materials (paints, chemicals, gas bottles, fuel, explosives)
• Illegal items of any kind
• Loose cash, jewellery and other high‑value personal documents (these should be carried by you)
• Live animals and plants requiring specialist transport
• Heavy industrial machinery or items that exceed safe manual handling or vehicle weight limits

If you are unsure whether a particular item can be moved, we will clarify this during your enquiry and survey.

Our Step‑by‑Step Furniture Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Everything starts with a straightforward enquiry. You can call, email, or use our online form. We will ask a few key questions about the furniture you need moved, access at both properties, dates, and any special requirements. From there, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote, explaining what is included so you know exactly what to expect.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger moves or more complex access, we recommend a survey. This can be done virtually (video call and photos) or in person in Wallington and nearby areas. The survey lets us assess stairs, lifts, doorways, parking and the size/weight of your furniture. With accurate information up front, we can send the right size vehicle, the correct number of trained movers, and any specialist equipment required.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the day, we protect your furniture and properties before anything leaves the house. This typically includes:

• Furniture blankets and wraps to prevent scratches and scuffs
• Protective covers for sofas, mattresses and upholstered items
• Floor and doorframe protection where required
• Dismantling of certain items (beds, wardrobes, tables) if pre‑agreed

You can choose from a basic load‑only service through to a more complete packing and preparation option where we handle most of the work.

4. Loading & Transport

Our team loads your furniture methodically, securing everything inside the vehicle using professional straps and equipment. Heavy and bulky items go first; lighter and more delicate pieces are wrapped and placed safely on top. We then transport your furniture using our well‑maintained vehicles, with routes planned to minimise delays and avoid tight access issues where possible.

5. Unloading & Furniture Placement

At your new property or destination, we unload each item carefully and place it in the rooms you specify. Where dismantling has been agreed, we also reassemble furniture such as beds and tables. Before we leave, we check that everything is in the right place, and we are happy to make small adjustments so you are comfortable with the final layout.

Transparent, Fair Furniture Removals Pricing

Our pricing is straightforward and explained clearly in writing before any work is booked. We typically price furniture removals in Wallington based on:

• Volume and type of furniture
• Number of movers required
• Travel distance between addresses
• Access challenges (stairs, long carries, restricted parking)
• Optional extras such as packing, dismantling and reassembly

We offer both fixed‑price moves for clearly defined jobs and hourly rate services for smaller or more flexible moves. There are no hidden charges: any potential additional costs (such as congestion or parking fees) are discussed beforehand wherever possible.

Why Choose Professional Furniture Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company for your furniture move in Wallington offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man‑and‑van service:

• Proper lifting techniques reduce the risk of injury to you and damage to your items.
• Specialist equipment – dollies, straps, ramps and blankets – ensures safer handling.
• Planned loading protects delicate pieces and maximises space in the vehicle.
• Time savings: experienced teams can complete moves far more efficiently.
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover provide protection that informal services usually lack.

In many cases, by the time you factor in van hire, fuel, lost time and potential damage, professional removals represent better overall value.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously, which is why Man and Van Wallington operates to recognised professional standards:

• Goods in transit insurance – Covers your furniture while it is in our care and being transported, up to an agreed value.
• Public liability cover – Protects against accidental damage to third‑party property, such as communal areas or neighbouring vehicles.
• Trained moving teams – Our staff are experienced in safe manual handling, furniture protection and secure loading techniques.

We are happy to confirm insurance details and provide evidence of cover on request, so you know your move is properly protected.

Care, Protection & Sustainable Practices

Looking after your furniture and property is at the heart of what we do. We use quality moving blankets, protective covers and appropriate lifting equipment to minimise risk at every stage. Corners, doorways and bannisters are protected where needed, and we plan routes through your home to avoid unnecessary handling.

We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:

• Reuse durable packing materials and blankets
• Offer shared loads for compatible routes to reduce vehicle mileage
• Dispose of unwanted furniture responsibly, using licensed waste and recycling facilities when arranged as a separate service

By combining careful planning with sensible working practices, we aim to provide a service that is both considerate and sustainable.

Real‑World Furniture Removal Use Cases

Moving House in Wallington

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating for work, we manage house moves of all sizes. From packing your dining set and bedroom furniture to placing everything in the correct rooms at your new address, we keep the process organised and predictable, helping moving day run smoothly.

Office and Commercial Furniture Moves

For businesses, we understand that downtime costs money. We plan office furniture removals around your working hours, including evenings or weekends by arrangement. Desks, chairs, storage units and meeting‑room furniture are labelled and placed correctly to help your team get back to work quickly.

Urgent and Same‑Day Furniture Removals

Occasionally, moves are urgent – a last‑minute tenancy change, a failed delivery, or a piece of furniture that needs to be moved out quickly. Where our schedule allows, we can provide same‑day or short‑notice furniture removals in Wallington. If we can help, we will, and we will always be honest about timings and availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do furniture removals in Wallington cost?

The cost depends on the volume and type of furniture, the distance between addresses, access at each property, and whether you need extras such as packing or dismantling. Smaller jobs may be charged at an hourly rate, while larger or clearly defined moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. As a guide, local single‑item moves will typically cost far less than full household removals, but we prefer to assess each job individually so the price is fair and accurate for your specific requirements.

Can you provide same‑day or urgent furniture removals?

Yes, where our schedule permits, we can offer same‑day or short‑notice furniture removals in Wallington and nearby areas. Availability depends on how busy we are, the size of the job, and how far we need to travel. For urgent moves, it helps if you can send photos and clear details so we can quickly assess what is required. We will always be upfront about what we can realistically achieve and provide an honest time estimate before confirming any urgent booking.

Are my items insured during the move?

Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved and transported by us, up to an agreed value. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to third‑party property. Insurance is designed to complement, not replace, your own household or business policies, so we recommend you keep any especially high‑value or irreplaceable items (such as jewellery or important documents) with you. We are happy to outline our cover in detail and confirm any specific conditions before your move.

What is included in your furniture removals service?

Our standard service includes supplying a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, protective blankets and securing equipment, loading at your current address, safe transport, and unloading with placement of items in your new property. Additional services such as packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, disposal of unwanted items and storage can be arranged if required and will be detailed separately in your quote. We aim to make our inclusions as clear as possible so you know exactly what is and is not covered before booking.

How is a professional removals service different from a casual man‑and‑van?

A professional removals service provides structured planning, trained staff, appropriate insurance and the right equipment for safely handling furniture. Casual man‑and‑van operations may be cheaper initially, but often lack goods in transit insurance, formal public liability cover and consistent standards. We carry out surveys where necessary, protect your property, plan access, and follow safe manual‑handling practices. This reduces the risk of damage and delays, and gives you a clear point of contact and accountability throughout the move, which informal services rarely offer.

How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly for weekends and month‑end, when demand is highest. However, we understand that moves are not always predictable, and we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Even if your moving date is not fixed yet, it is helpful to get in touch early so we can provisionally plan resources and provide guidance on timings, parking arrangements and any preparation you may need to do.

Piano Removals

Piano Removals in Wallington by Man and Van Wallington

Moving a piano is not the same as moving ordinary furniture. At Man and Van Wallington, we provide a dedicated piano removals service across Wallington and the surrounding areas, using specialist equipment, trained crews and carefully planned routes to ensure your instrument arrives safely and in tune-ready condition.

Specialist Piano Removals Service in Wallington

We move all common types of pianos, from small uprights to large grands. Every move is planned around access, weight and protection, not just convenience. Our teams use piano skates, padded covers, floor protection and secure fixing inside the vehicle to prevent movement in transit.

Whether you are moving a piano between rooms, to a new property, or to storage, our professional crews handle the entire process so you do not risk damage to the piano, your property, or yourself.

Local Expertise in Wallington

Based in Wallington, we know the local streets, parking restrictions and typical access issues around terraced houses, purpose-built flats and converted properties. This local knowledge allows us to:

• Plan arrival times to avoid school runs and heavy traffic
• Arrange parking or permits in advance where necessary
• Assess tight staircases, basements and top-floor flats realistically
• Advise when partial dismantling or extra manpower is required

Our familiarity with the area means your piano move is efficient as well as safe.

Who Our Piano Removal Service Is For

Homeowners

If you own a piano as a centrepiece in your home, you want it handled with care. We move pianos during full house moves, renovations, or simple repositioning within your property.

Renters

Moving between rented properties in Wallington can be stressful enough without worrying about stairs, door frames and deposit deductions. We protect both the piano and the property, minimising any risk of scuffs or damage.

Landlords

We help landlords remove or relocate pianos between tenancies, during refurbishments, or when converting properties. Our crews work neatly, use floor and corner protection, and keep communal areas clear.

Businesses

We support schools, music studios, rehearsal spaces, event venues, churches and hotels that require reliable piano transport. We can coordinate with other contractors and work to strict time slots when needed.

Students

For music students moving between term-time accommodation and home, we offer practical, sensibly priced piano removals with flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends where available.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Included in Our Piano Removals

• Upright pianos (including overstrung and upright grands)
• Baby grand and grand pianos (with partial dismantling where required)
• Digital pianos and stage pianos
• Piano stools and benches
• Associated stands, pedals and small accessories, boxed or bagged

Items Excluded or By Special Arrangement

• Pianos in unsafe or structurally compromised buildings
• Moves requiring crane or external hoist (can be arranged via partners on request)
• Non-standard oversized instruments or historical pianos without prior survey
• Disposal of pianos (this can sometimes be arranged separately, subject to assessment)

If you are unsure whether your instrument can be moved safely, we will carry out a survey and give you an honest, professional opinion.

Our Step-by-Step Piano Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: piano type, locations, access information and preferred dates. We ask clear, practical questions so we can give you a realistic estimate from the outset. No hidden extras, and no pressure to book.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For many upright pianos, a detailed virtual survey with photos or video is sufficient. For grands, complex access, or shared buildings, we may attend in person. We measure doorways, check staircases and landings, and plan the route to avoid surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

On moving day, we protect the piano and your property before anything is lifted. This includes padded covers, corner guards, floor runners and, where needed, partial dismantling of legs, pedals or lids on grand pianos. All fixings are kept safely together for reassembly.

4. Loading & Transport

The piano is carefully lifted by our trained team using skates, dollies and lifting straps. Once in the vehicle, it is secured with heavy-duty straps to anchor points and surrounded by blankets to prevent any movement. Our vehicles are maintained to a high standard for smooth transport.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we reverse the process: protection first, careful route planning, and controlled lifting. We place the piano exactly where you want it, subject to access, and reassemble any removed parts. We will not leave until the piano is stable, level and safely positioned.

Transparent Pricing for Piano Removals

We price piano removals clearly and fairly, based on:

• Type and size of piano
• Distance between properties
• Access difficulty (stairs, narrow corridors, long carries)
• Number of staff required
• Any special equipment or dismantling needed

You will receive a written quotation outlining what is included, so you can budget with confidence. We do not operate vague hourly rates that overrun without warning. If circumstances change, we discuss any impact on cost before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional Piano Removals Over DIY

Pianos are extremely heavy yet delicate instruments. Attempting to move one with friends and a basic van can lead to:

• Damage to internal mechanisms and tuning
• Injury from incorrect lifting
• Scratched floors, damaged walls and broken banisters
• Inadequate securing during transport

Our professional piano removals service brings the right equipment, experience and insurance. The cost of a specialist move is usually far less than the potential repair bills and disruption caused by a DIY attempt or casual man-and-van.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man and Van Wallington is fully insured for piano removals. We operate with:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your piano while it is in our care and on our vehicles
• Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property
• Trained moving teams who understand correct lifting, handling and protection techniques

We follow industry best practice for manual handling, vehicle loading and risk assessment. Our focus is on safety, protection and clear communication at every stage.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Every piano is treated with the level of care you would expect for a valuable instrument. We use thick blankets, padded covers, floor runners and door protectors to avoid marks or knocks. Vehicles are loaded methodically to prevent flexing and vibration as much as possible.

We also work with sustainability in mind, consolidating journeys where practical, maintaining our vehicles efficiently, and reusing durable protective materials instead of disposable plastics wherever possible.

Real-World Piano Removal Use Cases

Moving House

When you move home, we can incorporate your piano into a wider house removal or handle it as a separate, specialist job. We coordinate timings with your main move so the piano is not an afterthought.

Office and Commercial Moves

For schools, studios and venues, we move pianos as part of larger relocations or refurbishments. We can work outside normal hours by prior arrangement to minimise disruption.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes a piano needs moving quickly: last-minute tenancy changes, urgent property works, or unexpected sales. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day piano removals in and around Wallington. We will always be honest about feasibility and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a piano removal in Wallington cost?

The cost depends mainly on the type of piano (upright or grand), access at each property, and the travel distance. Simple ground-floor upright moves within Wallington are at the lower end of our pricing, while multi-flight staircases or grands requiring partial dismantling cost more. Once we have basic details and photos, we provide a clear, fixed quotation rather than an open-ended hourly estimate. This way you know exactly what you will pay before you commit to booking.

Can you do same-day or urgent piano removals?

Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate urgent or short-notice piano removals in Wallington and nearby areas. Same-day moves are subject to crew and vehicle availability, access complexity and travel distance. Safety remains our priority, so we will not rush a job or cut corners to squeeze it in. If we cannot safely handle your move on the requested day, we will offer the earliest realistic alternative and explain all options clearly.

Is my piano insured during the move?

Yes. Your instrument is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our care and on our vehicles. We also have public liability cover for accidental damage to property. During the quotation stage, we confirm the level of cover and any specific conditions that may apply to particularly high-value or specialist instruments. We combine this insurance with careful planning, proper equipment and experienced staff to reduce the likelihood of any claim being needed in the first place.

What is included in your piano removal service?

Our service includes loading, transport and unloading of the piano between addresses, along with protective covers, floor protection and securing the instrument in the vehicle. For grands, it typically includes partial dismantling and reassembly of legs and pedals. We place the piano in its final position, subject to safe access. Our quotation will set out everything that is included, so there is no confusion on the day. Optional extras, such as additional furniture moves, can be added by agreement in advance.

How is your service different from a general man-and-van?

While some man-and-van operators will carry pianos, our service is a dedicated piano removals offering. We use trained crews, specialist handling equipment, and a structured planning process to minimise risk. Vehicles are equipped with proper anchoring points, thick blankets and piano skates as standard. We also provide appropriate insurance cover and written documentation. In short, we treat the piano as a valuable instrument, not just a heavy object to be lifted and loaded as quickly as possible.

How far in advance should I book a piano removal?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a weekend slot or are coordinating with a wider house move. However, we understand that circumstances change quickly, so we keep some flexibility for short-notice work where we can. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer and the easier it is to plan surveys, parking and building access in Wallington and beyond.

House Removals

Who Our House Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Moving from one house to another in Wallington or further afield? We handle complete contents moves, including garages, lofts and sheds. We can provide a full packing service, part-packing for fragile items, or transport-only if you prefer to pack yourself.

Renters

Whether you’re moving between rented properties or into your first home, we work around your check-in and check-out times. We’re used to protecting walls, doors and carpets in rented properties to help you leave them in good condition.

Landlords

We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clear moves, partial removals and furniture swaps between properties. Items can be moved into storage or to alternative addresses as required, with clear inventories for your records.

Businesses

If you’re relocating a small office from a home or residential setting, we can move desks, IT equipment, filing and stock safely and efficiently, often outside office hours to reduce downtime.

Students

We regularly help students moving to or from Wallington with smaller-scale moves between halls, shared houses and home addresses, timed around term dates and key collection times.

What’s Included in Our House Removals

Items We Commonly Move

• All general household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs, chests of drawers
• Kitchen and white goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers (unplumbed), dishwashers
• Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment, home office setups
• Personal items – clothing, books, ornaments, pictures, mirrors
• Outdoors – garden furniture, BBQs (clean and gas bottle removed), tools, bicycles
• Boxed contents – carefully packed and labelled boxes from any room of the house

Items We Cannot Move or Move Only by Prior Arrangement

• Hazardous materials – fuel, paint tins, chemicals, gas cylinders
• Illegal or prohibited items
• Unboxed loose items that cannot be safely handled or stacked
• Live animals – pets should be transported separately for their welfare
• Very high-value items, cash, jewellery or important documents (we recommend you carry these yourself)
• Pianos and very heavy safes – possible, but must be agreed in advance and may require specialist equipment

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, just ask. We will give clear guidance so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

It starts with a quick call or online enquiry. We’ll ask about your current property, destination, dates, access and the size of your move. From this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what’s included so you can make an informed decision.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most house removals we carry out a survey, either by video call or in person. This lets us assess access, parking, the volume of contents and any items needing special handling. An accurate survey means the right size vehicle, the right number of movers and realistic time estimates.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer three main options: full packing service, fragile packing only (e.g. glass, china, artwork) or self-packing. If we are packing for you, we use quality materials and sensible labelling so your belongings are well protected and easy to unpack. We can also dismantle and prepare furniture as agreed.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day we protect key surfaces, then load items logically and securely, using blankets, straps and covers to prevent damage in transit. Our drivers follow pre-planned routes, taking into account traffic patterns around Wallington and your destination. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while on our vehicles.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property we place items in the rooms you specify, reassemble any agreed furniture and position larger items so you can start living in your new home straight away. We work methodically, communicating with you throughout to ensure everything ends up where you want it.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Costs are based on:

• Volume of goods (size of the move)
• Distance between properties
• Access and parking complexity at each address
• Number of movers required
• Whether packing materials or packing service are included
• Any special items or extra services (e.g. dismantling, storage, additional drop-offs)

Your written quote will detail what is included, any optional extras and how long we expect the move to take. There are no hidden fees – any potential additional charges (such as congestion or parking costs) are discussed upfront.

Why Use Professional Removers Instead of DIY

Hiring a professional removals company is about more than just a van. Our trained team knows how to move heavy and awkward items safely, protect your property and organise loading so that everything arrives in one piece. This reduces the risk of injury to you, damage to your belongings and delays on the day.

DIY or casual man-and-van moves often underestimate the time, number of trips and physical effort involved. With our service you get the right size vehicle, the right number of people and goods in transit insurance as standard, giving you peace of mind that your move is properly covered.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate to clear professional standards to protect you and your belongings:

• Goods in transit insurance covers your items while they are on our vehicles, subject to terms.
• Public liability cover protects against accidental damage to third-party property.
• Trained moving teams experienced in lifting techniques, safe loading and property protection.
• Regularly maintained vehicles and appropriate equipment for the work we undertake.

We are happy to explain our cover in plain language and provide proof of insurance on request so you know exactly where you stand.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care to minimise the impact of your move, both on your belongings and the environment. Furniture and delicate items are wrapped and padded, doorways and banisters are protected where needed, and we plan the order of loading to reduce handling.

Where possible we reuse cartons and packing materials, and we encourage clients to recycle boxes after the move. We optimise our routes around Wallington and beyond to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use, without compromising punctuality.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House Within Wallington

Many of our customers move short distances within Wallington – for example from a flat near the station to a family home further out. We schedule these moves to fit around school runs, work commitments and key handover times.

Office and Home-Office Relocations

Small businesses and home offices rely on us to move stock, files and equipment with minimal downtime. We can schedule evening or weekend moves and carefully label items so your team can get back to work quickly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves happen faster than expected – chain changes, new job offers or tenancy dates can all bring forward your move. Where our diary allows, we offer same-day or next-day services within Wallington and surrounding areas. If we can help at short notice, we will, and we’ll still work to our usual standards of care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Wallington cost?

The cost depends on the size of your move, distance, access and the level of service you need. A small flat move locally will usually cost less than a larger family home going further afield, especially if packing is included. After a quick discussion and survey, we provide a clear written quote tailored to your move, with no hidden extras. This will set out exactly what’s included so you can compare like-for-like with other quotations.

Can you handle same-day or urgent house moves?

We can often accommodate short-notice or urgent moves in and around Wallington, depending on our existing bookings and the size of the job. Smaller flat or student moves are usually easier to fit in at short notice than large house moves. The best approach is to call us as soon as you know your dates, and we’ll be honest about what we can do. If we can’t help on the exact day, we’ll offer the nearest available slot.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported on our vehicles, subject to policy terms and conditions. We also carry public liability cover for additional protection. During your quotation we’ll explain the key points, including any limits, exclusions and how best to pack or declare high-value items. We always recommend that you keep important documents, jewellery and cash with you rather than on the vehicle.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard service includes a survey, planning, provision of the removals vehicle, a trained crew, protective equipment for your furniture, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We can add optional services such as full packing, fragile-only packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, supply of boxes and materials, and short-term storage. Your written quote will list exactly what is included so you have a clear picture before you book.

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

A casual man-and-van service generally offers transport only, often with limited labour, equipment or insurance. Our removals service provides a professional team, insured vehicles, proper planning, surveys and the right level of staffing for the job. We focus on protecting your belongings and your property, and we take responsibility for organising the move from start to finish. This reduces the stress, physical strain and risk of damage that can come with informal or DIY moves.

How far in advance should I book my house removal?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, particularly if you’re moving at the end of the month, during school holidays or on a Friday, when demand is highest. Many customers reserve their slot two to four weeks ahead. That said, we understand that dates can change, especially when chains are involved, so we try to be flexible. If your move is sooner, it’s still worth contacting us – we may have suitable availability.

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with details of what you need moved, where from and to, and your preferred date. We ask a few practical questions about access, parking and any awkward items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most man with van jobs, a quick virtual survey – photos or a video call – is enough. For more complex moves, we can visit in person. The survey helps us choose the right size van, number of movers, and estimate how long the job will take.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own belongings, or we can add a packing service if required. On the day, we arrive with blankets, straps and trolleys. We protect furniture and delicate items, and can help with basic dismantling of beds and larger pieces where agreed.

4. Loading & Transport

Our team loads the van carefully, securing items to minimise movement in transit. We use protective covers for mattresses and sofas whenever needed. Then we transport your goods directly to the new address using sensible routes that consider traffic and low bridges.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you choose. We place furniture where you want it and reassemble anything we dismantled as part of the service. Before leaving, we check you are happy that everything is where it should be.

Transparent Pricing – How We Charge

We aim to keep pricing straightforward and fair. Most man with van moves in Wallington are charged on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, which we confirm in advance.

• Clear hourly rate for the van and a set number of movers
• Fixed price available for certain straightforward jobs
• No hidden charges – any congestion, ULEZ or parking costs are explained
• Optional extras such as packing, materials, and dismantling are itemised

Because we are an established removals company, we focus on getting the right resources to your job, not on stretching out the clock. We work efficiently while keeping your belongings safe.

Why Choose a Professional Man with Van over DIY

Hiring a van and doing everything yourself can seem cheaper at first, but it often means several journeys, potential damage, and a lot of stress. A casual man-and-van with no protections can be equally risky.

• Trained movers who know how to handle awkward staircases and heavy items
• Proper equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and tools
• Fully insured service, giving protection for your belongings
• Time savings – we plan routes, parking and loading for you
• Reduced risk of injury from lifting and carrying heavy items incorrectly

By using a professional service, you gain peace of mind and a more predictable, organised move.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible removals company, we operate with full insurance and clear procedures.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
• Public liability cover – protects you and your property should an accident occur during the move.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in lifting techniques, packing, and safe driving.

We are happy to explain our cover in plain language and outline any limits or exclusions before you book, so you know exactly where you stand.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We handle every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped and secured, and fragile boxes are clearly identified and placed safely. We avoid dragging or scraping items and protect floors where needed.

We also aim to operate as sustainably as practical: planning routes intelligently, consolidating journeys where possible, and reusing packing materials and blankets for multiple moves. We recycle cardboard and encourage customers to reuse boxes when they can.

Real-World Uses of Our Man with Van in Wallington

Moving House

For smaller properties in Wallington – studios and one-bed flats in particular – our man with van service often covers the entire move in one or two trips. It is a cost-effective way to move locally without the overhead of a large lorry.

Office Relocations

Smaller offices and local businesses use our vans to move workstations, stock and files. We can work outside normal office hours to minimise downtime and disruption.

Urgent and Same-Day Moves

Plans change quickly – a last-minute key release, an unexpected end of tenancy, or a seller bringing completion forward. When our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day man with van bookings for urgent moves in and around Wallington.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man with van service in Wallington cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size of van required, how many movers you need, and how long the job takes. Most local moves are charged by the hour with a minimum booking, which we confirm before you commit. For simple, clearly defined jobs, we can often agree a fixed price so you know exactly what you will pay. When you enquire, we will ask a few questions about access, quantity of items and distance, then provide a written quote with no hidden extras.

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

Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day and next-day man with van services in Wallington and nearby areas. Availability is best if you call as early as possible, especially at weekends and month-end. We will check which vans and crews are close to you, assess the size of the job, and give you realistic timings. If we cannot meet your exact time, we will offer the nearest available slot or an alternative date so you can plan accordingly.

What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?

Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to the policy terms and declared values. We also carry public liability insurance for accidents that may occur at your property. These policies are designed for professional removals work rather than casual transport. We are happy to share key details of our cover and explain any limits or exclusions, such as particularly high-value items, so you can decide whether you need any additional insurance of your own.

What is included in your man with van removals service?

Our standard service includes a professional driver, an appropriately sized van, and at least one additional mover where required. We provide protective blankets, straps and trolleys, and we load, secure, transport and unload your belongings into the rooms you choose. Optional extras include packing materials, a full or partial packing service, and dismantling or reassembling basic furniture by prior agreement. Congestion charges, ULEZ fees and parking costs are either included or clearly itemised on your quote so you know exactly what is covered.

What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?

Many informal man-and-van operators work without proper insurance, training or equipment. Our service is part of an established removals company: we are fully insured, use trained staff, and follow safe handling practices. We visit or survey your property where needed, plan for access and parking, and use the right van and tools for the job. This means fewer risks, less chance of damage, and a more organised move. In short, you get the flexibility of a man with van with the standards of a professional removals firm.

How far in advance should I book?

For the best choice of dates and times, particularly Fridays, weekends and month-end, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. However, we understand that smaller moves and tenancies can change quickly, so we always keep some flexibility in our schedule. Even if your move is only a few days away, it is worth getting in touch – we will do our best to fit you in or offer an alternative that still works for your plans.

Student Removals

Student Removals Wallington – Man and Van Wallington

At Man and Van Wallington, we provide straightforward, affordable and professional student removals in Wallington and the surrounding areas. Whether you are moving into halls, changing house shares or heading home for the summer, our trained, fully insured team makes your move quick, safe and stress-free.

Student Removals Service Explained

Student moves are usually smaller than full house moves, but they still need careful handling and good organisation. Our student removals service is designed around that. We collect your belongings from halls, flats or shared houses, transport them safely, and place them exactly where you want at your new address.

We regularly help with:

• Single room moves between halls and shared houses
• End-of-term removals and storage runs
• Moves between universities or campuses
• Short-distance moves within Wallington and South London
• Longer-distance UK moves back to your family home

Everything is carried out by a professional, uniformed team using purpose-built removal vehicles, blankets and securing straps.

Local Expertise in Wallington

Being based in Wallington means we know the local area, traffic patterns and parking restrictions very well. This is particularly helpful around halls of residence and busy residential streets, where access and loading can be tight.

We regularly work in and around local train stations, residential estates and student areas across Wallington and neighbouring towns. That local knowledge allows us to plan realistic timings, arrange parking permits where needed, and keep disruptions to a minimum.

Who Our Student Removals Service Is For

Students

Our service is built around students who need a reliable, reasonably priced way to move their belongings. You might be moving into first-year halls, changing flatmates, or relocating for a placement or postgraduate course. We can handle anything from a few boxes and a desk to a full room.

Homeowners and Parents

If you are a parent helping a son or daughter move to or from university accommodation, we can manage the whole removal from door to door. We are used to handling valuable items like computers, musical instruments and textbooks with care, giving you peace of mind.

Renters and House Shares

Many students live in shared rented houses. We work closely with tenants to move individual rooms or part-loads without disturbing the rest of the household, keeping communal areas clear and respecting neighbours.

Landlords and Letting Agents

We support landlords and agents who need professional removals when students move out, leave items behind or when a property is changing from student to professional tenants. We can clear, move and re-position furniture ready for the next let.

Businesses and Student Accommodation Providers

We also assist student accommodation providers and local businesses with bulk student moves, furniture relocations and deliveries of desks, beds and white goods to and from Wallington properties.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Included Items

Typical items we move for students and related clients include:

• Suitcases, clothes, shoes and personal belongings
• Books, files, coursework and stationery
• PCs, laptops, monitors and small office equipment
• Small to medium furniture – desks, chairs, bedside tables, shelves
• TVs, games consoles, audio equipment
• Kitchen items – boxes of cookware, small microwaves, kettles, toasters
• Bikes and sports equipment (properly prepared and clean)

Excluded or Restricted Items

To protect you, your belongings and our team, we cannot transport certain items, including:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Illegal or prohibited items
• Unboxed loose liquids, including open cleaning products
• Pets or live animals
• Very high-value items without prior agreement (e.g. fine art, antiques)

If you are unsure about a particular item, ask when you enquire and we will advise on the safest option.

Our Step-by-Step Student Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online with your current address, destination, likely move date and a rough idea of what you need to move. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume of items, access and distance. Where possible, we offer fixed prices so you know the cost in advance.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most student moves a quick virtual survey (photos, video call or detailed list) is enough. For larger or more complex jobs, we can arrange an onsite visit in Wallington. This lets us check access, parking, floor levels and any special items so we can send the right vehicle and team.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own belongings into boxes, bags and suitcases, or request our packing service for an additional fee. If we pack, we bring suitable boxes and wrapping to protect fragile items such as screens and glassware. Either way, we label clearly so unloading at the other end is straightforward.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained movers arrive on time, protect floors and walls where needed, and carefully load your belongings into our removal vehicle. Items are wrapped in transit blankets and secured with straps to minimise movement. We then drive directly to your new address using sensible, efficient routes.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination we unload and place items in the room(s) you choose. We position furniture where you want it and ensure boxes are stacked safely and access is not blocked. Before leaving, we do a quick walk-through with you to check everything has arrived and is in the right place.

Transparent Pricing

We understand students work with tight budgets, so we keep our pricing simple and clear. Costs are usually based on:

• Volume or number of items
• Distance between addresses
• Access issues (stairs-only, long carries, parking restrictions)
• Any optional services such as packing or extra helpers

For most student removals in Wallington we can offer a fixed price so you are not watching the clock. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional costs (parking charges, congestion or tolls) are explained in advance and agreed with you before we confirm the booking.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals team often works out better value than trying to do everything yourself with a borrowed car or casual van hire. With us you benefit from:

• Trained movers who know how to carry and protect items safely
• Proper removal vehicles with securing points, blankets and trolleys
• Time saved – especially important when you have exams, work or travel
• Lower risk of damage to belongings or the property
• Clear responsibility and insurance-backed protection if something goes wrong

Compared to hiring an informal man-with-a-van from online listings, using an established company like Man and Van Wallington means vetted staff, reliable vehicles and documented standards of service.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Every move we carry out is supported by appropriate cover and procedures:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect possessions while they are in our care and on the road
• Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to buildings or third parties
• Trained, experienced teams who follow safe lifting and handling methods
• Well-maintained, purpose-built vehicles checked regularly for safety

We treat your belongings as if they were our own, and we are always happy to explain exactly what our insurance covers in plain language.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Protecting your items starts with good packing and careful loading. We use high-quality blankets, straps and wrapping materials to reduce risk of scratches or breakages. Floors, bannisters and doors can be protected where necessary, especially in shared or rented properties.

We are also mindful of our environmental impact. We aim to minimise unnecessary journeys, encourage re-use of boxes where safe to do so, and recycle packaging materials where possible. By planning routes efficiently around Wallington and beyond, we help keep emissions and congestion down.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving Into or Out of Student Halls

At the start and end of term, we help students and families move luggage, desks, small appliances and personal items between home and halls. Timings are often tight, so we plan carefully around check-in and check-out windows.

Shared House and Flat Moves

We regularly move students between house shares in Wallington. This could be a single room’s contents or a group moving together. We coordinate access with flatmates and landlords to keep disruption to a minimum.

Office or Study Space Relocations

Some students run small businesses or need dedicated study spaces. We can move desks, chairs and equipment into home offices or rented workspace, ensuring computers and peripherals are carefully wrapped and labelled.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Occasionally students face sudden changes – a tenancy ending unexpectedly, course changes or personal circumstances. Subject to availability, we can often provide same-day or next-day support within Wallington and nearby areas, helping you move quickly and safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a student removal in Wallington cost?

The cost depends mainly on how much you are moving, the distance between addresses and any access issues such as stairs or restricted parking. Small local student moves within Wallington are usually very affordable and often charged at a fixed price so you know the total in advance. Larger or longer-distance moves will cost more but are still priced competitively. Once you provide a list of items and locations, we give a clear written quote with no hidden extras, so you can budget with confidence.

Can you do same-day or urgent student moves?

Yes, subject to availability we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice student removals in and around Wallington. This is particularly useful if a tenancy ends unexpectedly or plans change at the last minute. The more notice you can give us, the better the chance of securing your ideal time slot, but it is always worth calling to check. We will be honest about what is realistic and will never overpromise if we cannot safely complete your move in the timeframe.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicle and under our control, as well as public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. This is a key difference between using a professional removals company and an informal arrangement. We are happy to explain the details, including any limits or exclusions, before you book so you understand exactly how you are protected and can decide if you need any additional cover of your own.

What is included in your student removals service?

Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, one or more trained movers, loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you choose at your new address. We provide transit blankets and securing straps as standard. Optional extras include packing services, extra helpers for heavy items and, in some cases, dismantling and reassembly of simple flat-pack furniture. We do not supply packing boxes as standard unless agreed, but we can arrange them if needed. All inclusions and any optional services are clearly listed in your quote.

How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service may offer transport only, often without formal insurance, training or documented procedures. By contrast, a professional removals company like Man and Van Wallington provides vetted, trained staff, appropriate insurance, purpose-built vehicles and clear terms of service. We plan your move in detail, protect your belongings properly and accept responsibility for them while they are in our care. For students, this extra reliability and protection is particularly valuable when moving important items such as laptops, coursework and personal documents.

How far in advance should I book my student move?

For the best choice of dates and times, especially around the start and end of university terms, it is wise to book at least one to two weeks in advance. Peak days and weekends fill up quickly in Wallington and nearby areas. However, we understand that student life is not always predictable, so we do keep some flexibility for late bookings. If your plans are uncertain, we can pencil in a provisional date and confirm closer to the time, subject to availability.

Same day Removals

Same Day Removals in Wallington – Man and Van Wallington

When you need to move today, you need a removals team that can react quickly, stay organised under pressure, and still look after your belongings properly. At Man and Van Wallington, we provide reliable, fully planned same day removals across Wallington and the surrounding areas.

Whether your move has fallen through at the last minute, your landlord needs the property back, or your business has an urgent relocation, our local team can step in with a structured, professional service – not just a casual van on the day.

What Our Same Day Removals Service Includes

Our same day removals are designed to give you as close to a full removals service as possible, even at short notice. Subject to availability, we can help with:

• Emergency home moves within Wallington and nearby areas
• Urgent flat and house clearances for renters and landlords
• Last-minute office relocations and small business moves
• Student moves to or from halls and shared houses
• Part-loads and single items such as sofas, beds, and appliances

We bring the right vehicle, the right equipment and a trained, professional team to complete your move safely and efficiently, even if it’s all happening the same day.

Local Expertise in Wallington

Based in Wallington, we know the area, the roads and the parking restrictions extremely well. That matters even more on a same-day move, where there is no time to lose struggling with access or traffic.

Our local knowledge helps us to:

• Plan realistic arrival and completion times
• Choose the best routes to avoid congestion where possible
• Handle tight streets, low bridges and controlled parking zones
• Communicate clearly about loading and unloading points

Because we work in and around Wallington every day, we can often accommodate urgent bookings more easily than non-local companies.

Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Chain delays, sudden completion dates and unexpected issues can leave homeowners scrambling. We can step in quickly to move full house contents, handle heavier furniture, and make sure everything is protected and properly loaded.

Renters

From studio flats to multi-room rentals, we regularly help tenants with short-notice notices, landlord requests or urgent relocations. We’ll work around lift access, staircases and parking limits common in rental blocks.

Landlords

Landlords in Wallington use us for same day removals when a property needs to be cleared fast – for end-of-tenancy, refurbishments or emergency situations. We can remove furniture, boxed items and general household contents in a safe, controlled way.

Businesses

We support small and medium-sized businesses with urgent relocations, office reconfigurations and moving stock or equipment between premises. Our team understands the need to minimise downtime and disruption.

Students

Students often face tight timeframes at the end of term or when accommodation falls through. We offer cost-conscious, efficient moves for rooms and small flats, including shared houses, on a same-day basis where possible.

What We Can and Cannot Move on the Same Day

Items Typically Included

• Sofas, armchairs and living room furniture
• Beds, wardrobes, chests of drawers and bedside tables
• Dining tables, chairs, sideboards and bookcases
• Domestic appliances (washing machines, fridges, freezers – disconnected)
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment (properly packed)
• Boxes of personal belongings, clothes, books and kitchenware
• Garage and shed items that are boxed, safe and clean

Items Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from same-day moves, including:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Illegal items or waste
• Unboxed loose small items in large quantities
• Animals and live plants in large numbers
• Very high-value items (art, antiques, jewellery) without prior arrangement
• Large pianos or specialist machinery without a pre-agreed survey

If you are unsure about any item, we will clarify this during the enquiry and survey stage so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quick Quote

Call us as early as possible in the day. We will ask clear, focused questions about your property, access, items and timings. Where practical, we provide an immediate estimated price range over the phone or by email, then confirm once we’ve carried out a brief survey.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For same-day moves, we usually carry out a virtual survey via video call or photos. This allows us to assess volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any special requirements. For larger properties and where time allows, we may attend in person locally within Wallington.

3. Packing & Preparation

On a same-day move there’s often limited time for full packing, but we still protect your items properly. We can provide:

• Basic packing assistance for last-minute items
• Protective blankets, covers and straps for furniture
• Mattress and sofa protection where required
• Guidance on how best to pack any remaining loose items

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained, professional team loads your belongings in a logical, secure order to minimise movement in transit. We use proper lifting techniques and equipment to protect both your property and our staff. Once loaded, we transport your goods directly to the new address, keeping you updated on timings.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you need them. We work with you to position key pieces such as beds, wardrobes and sofas so you can be functional as quickly as possible, even after a hectic same-day move.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same-day work is more intensive to plan and staff, but our pricing remains clear and fair. We typically base costs on:

• Volume of items and size of property
• Number of movers required
• Travel distance between addresses
• Access difficulty (stairs, long carries, no lift, parking)
• Time of day and any evening or weekend surcharges

We will always explain how your quote has been calculated and what is included. There are no hidden fees for standard work agreed in advance; any potential extra charges (for example, significant delays caused by third parties) are outlined upfront.

Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY

Trying to organise a last-minute move yourself can quickly become stressful, risky and more expensive than expected. With Man and Van Wallington you benefit from:

• Experienced, trained movers who know how to protect and handle furniture
• Proper equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys and tools
• Appropriate vehicle size, saving multiple trips
• Reduced risk of injury from lifting heavy items
• Less chance of damage to walls, doors and stairways
• Insurance cover that casual helpers or hired vans do not provide

In an already stressful same-day situation, having a structured, professional team in charge makes a significant difference to both the result and your peace of mind.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and so is your property. Man and Van Wallington operates as a fully compliant removals business with:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being moved
• Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your home or business
• Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting and loading practices
• Documented procedures for handling fragile and awkward items

We treat every same-day move with the same standards we apply to fully planned relocations.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even when time is tight, we focus on protecting both your belongings and the environment wherever possible.

• Use of reusable transit blankets and furniture covers
• Encouraging reusable crates and sturdy boxes where available
• Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Responsible disposal or recycling of unwanted items by prior arrangement

Our team works carefully inside your property, using floor protection and taking extra care around corners, bannisters and door frames.

Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases

Moving House at Short Notice

Completion unexpectedly confirmed for the same or next day? We can often mobilise a team and vehicle quickly, helping you pack last items, dismantle basic furniture and get everything safely transported so your move still happens on time.

Urgent Office Relocation

If your business premises becomes unusable due to building issues or lease problems, we can help relocate essential equipment, furniture and stock on a same-day basis, getting you operational again as quickly as possible.

Emergency Tenant or Landlord Situations

Where a tenancy ends quickly, or a landlord needs to clear a property urgently, our same day removals service gives a structured way to move or clear contents with proper documentation and care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do same day removals in Wallington cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of the move, number of movers needed, distance travelled and how complex the access is at each property. Same-day moves can be slightly higher than pre-booked work because they require rapid scheduling and dedicated resources. As a guide, small local moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote before you commit, so you always know what to expect.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

Availability depends on how busy our teams are on the day, the size of your move and the time you contact us. Calling as early as possible in the morning gives us the best chance of fitting you in. For smaller flat or room moves we can often respond very quickly; for full house or business relocations, we may need to confirm staff and vehicle availability before committing. Even if we cannot move everything the same day, we may be able to complete the most urgent part of the job.

Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?

Yes. Your items are covered under our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and our public liability cover applies while we are working in and around your property. As with any insurance, certain exclusions and limits apply, which we’re happy to explain in straightforward terms before the move. For very high-value or unusual items, please tell us at the enquiry stage so we can confirm the right arrangements and any additional cover if required.

What exactly is included in your same day removals service?

Our service typically includes a quick survey, provision of an appropriately sized vehicle, a professional moving team, protective blankets and basic dismantling and reassembly of standard furniture where agreed. We load, transport and unload your items, placing furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. Packing can be included for smaller moves if time allows, but for larger properties we usually ask that most items are already boxed. Any exclusions or additional services, such as waste disposal or extensive packing, will be discussed and agreed before we start.

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

While we do offer a flexible man-and-van style option, our operation is a professional removals service. That means fully insured vehicles, trained staff, proper equipment, documented procedures and clear pricing. Casual man-and-van operators often lack adequate insurance, may not protect items properly and may not have the experience to manage complex or time-pressured moves. With us, you get a structured approach designed to reduce risk and stress, particularly important when everything has to happen on the same day.

How far in advance should I book if I think I might need a same day move?

If you suspect you may need to move at short notice, it’s worth contacting us as early as possible, even if your dates are not confirmed. We can discuss likely options, give an indicative price and note your details. On the day, a quick call from you can then convert that into a confirmed booking, subject to availability. For genuine last-minute situations, we’ll always do our best to help, but early communication gives you a far better chance of securing the time slot and resources you need.

Man and a Van

Man and a Van Wallington – Local, Professional Moving Support

At Man and Van Wallington, our man and a van service is designed for people who need a flexible, reliable move without the cost or complexity of a full-scale removals truck. You still get a professional, fully insured service, just in a more compact and affordable format that suits smaller homes, flats, offices and single-item moves.

What Our Man and a Van Service Includes

Our man and a van in Wallington covers most day-to-day moving needs where you do not require a multi-vehicle crew. You get:

• A modern, clean van sized to your job
• 1–3 trained, professional movers depending on access and volume
• Protective blankets, straps and trolleys
• Loading, transport and unloading as standard
• Optional packing service and packing materials
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover

It is the same level of care we bring to full house moves, simply tailored to smaller or more straightforward jobs around Wallington and the surrounding areas.

Local Expertise in Wallington and Surrounding Areas

Based in Wallington, we know the local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. From high-rise flats near the station to terraced houses off Stafford Road, we plan each move with local access in mind.

Our man and a van teams regularly work across Wallington, Carshalton, Croydon, Sutton, Purley and neighbouring areas. That local knowledge helps us avoid bottlenecks, secure sensible parking, and complete jobs quickly and safely.

Who Our Man and a Van Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are moving between smaller houses or bungalows, clearing a garage, or taking a few key items into storage while you stage your home for sale.

Renters

Perfect for studio, one- or two-bedroom flats where you need a cost-effective but professional move. We are used to tight stairwells, lifts and restricted parking common in rented properties.

Landlords

We help landlords clear properties between tenancies, remove unwanted furniture, or deliver replacement items quickly and efficiently, always with respect for the building and neighbours.

Businesses

From small office relocations to moving stock, equipment or files between sites, our man and a van service gives you a flexible, insured option without hiring a full removals crew.

Students

Moving to or from university accommodation? We regularly help students move a room’s worth of belongings, from Wallington to campuses across London and the UK, at sensible prices.

What We Can Move

Our man and a van service in Wallington is suitable for most everyday household and office items, including:

• Boxes, suitcases and bags
• Beds, sofas, wardrobes and other household furniture
• White goods such as washing machines and fridges (ground floor or suitable lift access)
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
• Sports equipment, tools and hobby items
• Student belongings and personal effects

Items We Cannot Move

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are certain items we cannot transport:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, explosives)
• Illegal items or contraband
• Live animals (including pets and livestock)
• Perishable or refrigerated food in quantity
• Unsealed paint, solvents or flammable liquids
• Excessively valuable items such as fine art or high-value jewellery (these may require a specialist carrier)

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, please ask – we are happy to advise and suggest alternatives where needed.

Our Step-by-Step Man and a Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Get in touch by phone, email or our online form with basic details: addresses, property type, floors, parking, and what you need moving. We will ask a few targeted questions so we can recommend the right van size, number of movers and likely timescale. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For smaller man and a van jobs, a video call or detailed item list is often enough. For more complex access or borderline full-house loads, we may suggest a short onsite visit. The aim is to avoid surprises on the day and ensure we send the right team and vehicle.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items, or use our professional packing service. If you pack yourself, we can supply quality boxes, tape and wrapping. On moving day, we protect key items with blankets and covers, and we always plan the order of loading carefully to keep fragile pieces safe.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained moving teams handle all the lifting and loading, using trolleys and straps where needed. We protect furniture and secure everything properly in the van. Then we transport your belongings directly to the destination, using local route knowledge to keep things efficient.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new address, we unload items and place them in the rooms you request, not just at the front door. We are careful with walls, floors and communal areas, and we will not leave until you are satisfied that everything is where it should be.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We keep our pricing straightforward, so you know where you stand before you book. For man and a van work in Wallington, we typically offer:

• Competitive hourly rates for local moves with clear minimum booking times
• Fixed prices for defined jobs and longer-distance runs
• Separate, clearly stated costs for optional packing, materials and extra labour

Quotes are based on time, distance, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and the number of movers required. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges (for congestion, tolls or out-of-hours work) are explained in advance.

Why Choose Professional Man and a Van Over DIY

Hiring a casual van and doing it yourself can look cheaper at first glance, but there are important differences:

• Safety: Our teams are trained in safe lifting and handling, reducing the risk of injury.
• Protection: We use proper equipment and packing to protect your belongings and the properties involved.
• Insurance: Your goods are covered under our goods in transit insurance, and we have public liability cover.
• Efficiency: Experienced movers complete jobs faster and with fewer trips.
• Reliability: Confirmed booking times, written confirmations and professional standards give you peace of mind.

In short, you avoid the hassle, uncertainty and physical strain of a DIY move while still keeping costs manageable.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible removals operator, we take our duty of care seriously. Our man and a van service in Wallington is supported by:

• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our care
• Public liability insurance for incidents affecting property or third parties
• Trained, professional moving teams with experience in both domestic and commercial work

We follow industry best practice on loading, securing and transporting goods, and we are always happy to explain exactly how your items will be protected.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Your belongings and your home matter to us. We use padded blankets, floor protection where required, and appropriate lifting techniques to keep both items and property safe. Fragile items are treated with extra care, and we are meticulous about securing loads.

We also take a responsible approach to the environment. Where possible, we:

• Reuse strong cartons and packing materials
• Offer collection of used boxes for recycling
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

It is a practical, down-to-earth way to reduce waste without compromising on protection.

Real-World Uses for Our Man and a Van Service

Moving House or Flat

For smaller properties, a man and a van can handle the entire move in one or two trips. We regularly move one- and two-bed flats within Wallington and across South London in a single day.

Office and Business Relocation

Smaller businesses value the flexibility of our service. We can move offices outside normal working hours to minimise disruption, or carry out phased moves over several visits.

Urgent or Same-Day Moves

If a previous arrangement has fallen through or you face an unexpected deadline, our Wallington-based man and a van teams can often respond at short notice. When we can help, we will, and we will always be honest about what is realistically achievable in the time available.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man and a van in Wallington cost?

Pricing depends mainly on how long the job will take, the number of movers required, travel distance and access issues such as stairs and parking. For local jobs in Wallington we usually work on an hourly rate with a clear minimum booking period, plus any agreed extras like packing or materials. For longer-distance moves we can often offer a fixed price. We will always ask the right questions up front so your quote is accurate and there are no unexpected charges on the day.

Can you offer same-day or urgent man and a van bookings?

Yes, where our schedule allows, we do take on same-day or short-notice jobs in Wallington and nearby areas. Availability depends on how busy we are and the size of the job, so it is best to call as early as possible. If we can fit you in safely and sensibly, we will. If not, we will say so honestly rather than overpromise. For urgent work we may suggest a smaller team or phased approach to get your most important items moved first.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Our man and a van service is backed by goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded by us. We also carry public liability insurance for any accidental damage to property or third parties. There are standard limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain before you book. We always recommend that particularly high-value or delicate items are highlighted in advance so we can confirm cover and take any extra precautions needed.

What is included in a typical man and a van service?

As standard, we provide the van, fuel, a professional driver, at least one additional mover where needed, and all lifting, loading, transport and unloading between the agreed addresses. Protective blankets and securing straps are included, and we will place items into the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and wrapping materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and disposal of unwanted items by prior arrangement. Everything included in your booking will be set out clearly in writing before moving day.

How is a professional removals man and a van different from a casual van hire?

With a professional service like ours, you are getting trained movers, proper equipment, and full insurance cover, not just a vehicle and a driver. We plan the job carefully, protect your belongings, and take responsibility for safe loading and secure transport. Casual or unregistered operators may not offer the same level of protection or reliability, and DIY van hire leaves all risk and hard work with you. For most people, the small difference in cost is outweighed by the added safety, efficiency and peace of mind.

How far in advance should I book?

For planned moves, we recommend booking your man and a van in Wallington at least one to two weeks ahead, especially if you need a specific date or time, such as a weekend or month-end. This gives us time to plan access, parking and any packing work. That said, we understand that moves are not always predictable, and we do our best to accommodate late bookings. The more notice you can give, the better the chance of securing your ideal slot and keeping everything straightforward.

Flat Removals

Flat Removals in Wallington by Man and Van Wallington

Moving in or out of a flat comes with its own challenges – stairs, lifts, tight corridors, parking restrictions and careful coordination with neighbours and building managers. At Man and Van Wallington, we provide a dedicated flat removals service in Wallington, designed specifically around apartment and flat moves of all sizes.

With years of hands-on experience moving flats across Wallington and the surrounding areas, our professional, fully insured team knows how to move you quickly, safely and with minimal disruption to your building and neighbours.

What Our Flat Removals Service Includes

Our flat removals service covers everything you need for a smooth, organised move, whether you are on the ground floor or the top floor of a high-rise building.

Who Our Service Is For

• Homeowners moving between flats or into a new apartment development
• Renters ending a tenancy and needing a punctual, tidy move-out
• Landlords arranging moves for tenants or clearing a property
• Businesses relocating staff or moving into serviced apartments
• Students moving into or out of halls or shared flats

Whether it is a small studio or a large multi-bedroom flat, we tailor our service to your building layout, access restrictions and timing requirements.

Items Typically Included

We regularly move:

• Sofas, armchairs and other soft furnishings
• Beds, wardrobes, chests of drawers and bedroom furniture
• Dining tables, chairs, sideboards and cabinets
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, dryers
• TVs, audio equipment and small electricals
• Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware and personal belongings
• Home office desks, chairs and filing units
• Bikes, sports equipment and small outdoor items (where access allows)

Items We Typically Exclude or Need to Assess

For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or require prior agreement:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Illegal goods or items that cannot legally be transported
• Very high-value items (fine art, antiques, jewellery) without prior disclosure
• Large commercial machinery
• Animals and live plants in bulk moves

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will clarify during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process

We use a clear, five-step process to keep your Wallington flat move organised and predictable.

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with basic details: your current flat, destination address, floor level, lift access, parking and the size of your move. We will discuss your timings and any building rules (move-in windows, lift booking, protective coverings). Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included, any optional extras and estimated timeframes.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we usually recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or in person in Wallington. We assess access, stairs, corridors, lift size, parking and the volume of items. This helps us allocate the right vehicle, number of trained movers and equipment, and it greatly reduces the risk of delays on moving day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Packing service – we supply materials and pack your belongings for you
• Part-packing – we pack fragile or specialist items only
• Self-packing – you pack, and we provide guidance and materials if required

We label boxes clearly by room and handle fragile items separately. Protection for furniture, banisters and doors is planned in advance, especially in narrow stairwells and shared corridors.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you, and begins protecting floors, doorways and lift interiors where needed. We use padded covers, blankets, straps and trolleys to move your items safely through tight spaces. Everything is loaded methodically into our vans to prevent movement in transit. We then transport your belongings directly to your new property, using the most efficient route from Wallington.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new flat, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you need them. We will reassemble any items we dismantled (such as bed frames) and make sure large items are safely positioned before we leave. A final walkthrough ensures you are satisfied that nothing has been missed and that all agreed work is complete.

Transparent Flat Removals Pricing in Wallington

We believe in clear, honest pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will typically be based on:

• Volume of goods and number of rooms
• Floor level, stairs and lift availability
• Distance between addresses
• Number of movers required
• Additional services such as packing or furniture assembly

We offer both fixed-price moves for clearly defined jobs and hourly-rate moves for smaller or more flexible jobs. All costs are explained upfront, including any potential parking or congestion-related charges if they apply.

Why Choose Professional Flat Removals Over DIY

Flat moves can look simple on paper but become complex when you factor in building rules, tight spaces and heavy items. A professional service offers:

• Experienced, trained movers used to stairs, lifts and awkward access
• Correct equipment – trolleys, lifting straps, furniture blankets, floor protection
• Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and the building
• Careful planning around parking and time slots
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover

Compared with a casual one-man-with-a-van or a DIY move, you avoid last-minute problems, personal injury risks and disputes over damage to communal areas or lifts.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Man and Van Wallington operates to clear professional standards so you know your move is in safe hands.

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to terms and declared values
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move
• Trained moving teams – experienced staff trained in safe lifting techniques, furniture handling and protection of property
• Clean, well-maintained vehicles equipped with blankets, straps and protective materials

We are happy to outline our cover levels and conditions before you book, so you have complete peace of mind.

Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability

We treat every flat move as if it were our own home. That means careful planning for access, protecting communal areas and minimising disruption for neighbours.

• Use of furniture blankets, mattress covers and corner protectors
• Protective coverings for lifts, stair rails and floors where required
• Safe stacking and securing of goods in the vehicle

We also consider the environmental impact of our work. Wherever possible we:

• Reuse strong cardboard boxes and packing materials
• Offer collection of reusable materials after your move when feasible
• Plan efficient routing to reduce unnecessary mileage

Real-World Flat Removal Scenarios in Wallington

Moving Between Flats in the Same Building

If you are upgrading or downsizing within the same block, we can complete your move quickly with minimal vehicle use, focusing on lift and stair coordination, protection and timing to avoid peak times in the building.

Flat to House, or House to Flat Moves

We regularly help people moving from a flat in Wallington to a house further afield, or the other way round. Our planning covers access at both ends, from on-street parking outside flats to driveways at houses, ensuring a smooth transition.

Office-to-Flat or Staff Relocation

For businesses relocating staff into Wallington flats or serviced apartments, we provide structured moves, timed arrivals and itemised inventories so employees can settle in quickly with minimal disruption to your operations.

Urgent and Short-Notice Flat Moves

Sometimes circumstances change quickly – end of tenancy issues, relationship changes or urgent completion dates. Subject to availability, we can often provide same-day or next-day flat removals in Wallington, focusing on the essentials to get you safely relocated.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a flat removal in Wallington cost?

The cost of a flat removal in Wallington depends on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, floor level, lift access and the distance between addresses. Smaller studio or one-bedroom flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger two- or three-bedroom flats are often quoted at a fixed price after a survey. Optional services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly will also affect the total. We always provide a clear written quote before you commit, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Can you do same-day or urgent flat removals?

We can often accommodate same-day or urgent flat moves in Wallington, especially outside peak periods. Availability depends on our existing bookings, the size of your move and how complex the access is. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as early as you can with full details, including addresses, floor levels, parking and key items. We will advise realistically what we can achieve on the required date and may suggest a focused, essentials-first move if time is tight.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move. During the survey and booking process, we will explain the key conditions, such as packing standards for self-packed boxes and the need to declare particularly valuable items. If you have specialist or high-value possessions, we can discuss additional precautions.

What is included in your flat removals service?

Our standard flat removals service includes the vehicle, trained movers, protective equipment, loading, safe transport and unloading at your new property. We move typical household furniture, boxes and standard appliances, subject to access and safety. Optional extras include packing, supply of materials, furniture dismantling/reassembly and disposal of unwanted items by arrangement. We also plan around building rules, lifts and parking where you provide the relevant information. Everything included in your particular move will be listed on your written quotation.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While some jobs are fine for a basic man-and-van, our flat removals service is structured and fully supported. We use professional, trained teams, appropriate equipment and carefully planned timings, especially where flats have limited access or strict building rules. We carry goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, and we complete surveys for larger moves so the right resources are assigned. This reduces the risk of damage, delays or extra costs on the day that can occur with informal or uninsured operators.

How far in advance should I book my flat removal?

Where possible, we recommend booking your Wallington flat removal at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you plan to move on a Friday, at month end or during peak seasons. This gives us time to arrange surveys, parking and any building access requirements. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy changes are not always confirmed early. If your dates are uncertain, contact us to discuss likely timeframes so we can pencil you in and then firm up the booking once your timing is confirmed.

Man and Van

Man and Van Wallington – Local, Professional Removals

At Man and Van Wallington, we provide a reliable, straightforward man and van removals service across Wallington and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on moving experience, we specialise in small to medium moves where you still want a professional, fully insured team rather than taking a chance on a casual courier.

What Our Man and Van Service Includes

Our man and van service is ideal when you do not need a full-scale removals crew but you still want your belongings handled carefully. Every booking includes:

• A modern, clean and well-maintained van (or multiple vans if needed)
• At least one trained and experienced mover, with the option to add extra movers
• Protective blankets, straps and equipment for safe loading
• Point-to-point transport from your old property to your new one
• Basic placement of items into the rooms you choose
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover

We handle everything from single-item moves to full flat clearances and small house removals, always with a focus on care, safety and punctuality.

Local Man and Van Experts in Wallington

We know Wallington inside out – from residential streets off Stafford Road and Beddington Gardens to busy commuter routes towards Croydon, Sutton and Carshalton. That local knowledge means:

• Sensible route planning to avoid congestion where possible
• Realistic timing for loading, unloading and travel
• Understanding of parking restrictions and access issues in local roads and estates
• Flexibility for school runs, work hours and building management rules

Because we work in Wallington daily, we are used to tight staircases, maisonettes, small lifts and shared entrances. We adapt our approach to your specific property so that your move is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Who Our Man and Van Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are moving between houses in or around Wallington and your move is relatively compact, our man and van service can be a cost-effective alternative to a full removals crew. We regularly help with partial moves, downsizing, and moving items into storage.

Renters

Whether you are moving from one flat to another or relocating for work, we make it easy to move your belongings safely without relying on friends and borrowed vehicles. We are used to working with check-in/check-out times and inventory clerks.

Landlords

Landlords in Wallington often use our service for light clearances, end-of-tenancy removals and moving furniture between properties. We can work directly with you or your managing agent and provide invoices for your records.

Businesses

For smaller offices, shops and local businesses, our man and van team can handle moves, internal reorganisation, archive moves and collection/delivery of equipment. We take care with IT, stock and furniture, and work to minimise downtime.

Students

Students moving to or from Wallington benefit from a simple, budget-conscious service. We move boxes, suitcases, desks, beds and more between home, halls, and shared houses, with flexible dates around term times.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

• Household furniture: sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• White goods: washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted), cookers
• Personal belongings: boxes, clothes, books, kitchenware, ornaments
• Home office and business items: desks, filing cabinets, chairs, printers
• Electronics: TVs, computers, audio equipment (suitably packed)
• Garden items: tools, patio furniture, bikes (cleaned where possible)

Items Usually Excluded

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some things we cannot carry:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Illegal items of any kind
• Animals and live plants in bulk (individual houseplants can be discussed)
• Unboxed loose items of very small size that may be easily lost
• Extremely high-value items without prior agreement and proper packing

If you are unsure about a particular item, ask during your enquiry and we will advise on what is possible and any special arrangements needed.

Our Step-by-Step Man and Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: locations, rough list of items, floors, and your preferred date. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us. We are always transparent about costs so you know exactly what to expect.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For straightforward jobs, a phone or video survey is usually enough. For more complex moves, we may suggest a brief onsite visit in Wallington or nearby to check access, parking and volumes. This helps us choose the right van size, number of movers and time estimate.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or we can offer packing services at an additional cost. If you are packing yourself, we will guide you on labelling, box strength and protecting fragile items. On moving day we bring blankets, straps and tools for basic furniture disassembly where required.

4. Loading & Transport

On the day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you, and begins loading. We load carefully and systematically, using protective materials and securing everything in the van. Then we travel directly to your new address via the most sensible route.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your destination, we unload items into the rooms you indicate. We place heavy furniture where you want it so you are not left dragging it around later. Before we leave, we check that nothing has been missed and that you are satisfied with the placement of your belongings.

Transparent Man and Van Pricing in Wallington

We price our man and van service clearly and fairly. Typical factors that affect your quote include:

• Distance between properties
• Amount and type of items
• Number of movers required
• Access issues (stairs, lifts, long carries, restricted parking)
• Any optional extras, such as packing or furniture dismantling

Most jobs are charged either as a fixed price for the full move, or an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. We will always explain which option we are using and why, so you can compare costs and make an informed decision.

Why Choose a Professional Man and Van Over DIY

Hiring a professional man and van team in Wallington offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual operator:

• Trained movers who know how to lift safely and protect items
• Fully insured service with goods in transit and public liability cover
• Proper equipment such as blankets, trolleys and securing straps
• Reduced risk of damage to furniture, belongings and property
• Less physical strain and stress for you, friends or family

While it can be tempting to organise your own van and helpers, many people find that the hidden costs, time and potential damage outweigh any initial savings. A professional service provides peace of mind and a far smoother move.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are in our vehicle
• Public liability cover for any accidental damage to property
• Trained moving teams who follow safe handling practices

We handle your possessions as if they were our own. While no mover can prevent every possible incident, being fully insured means that you have proper protection if something unexpected happens.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We focus on care at every stage. Furniture is wrapped or covered where needed, items are loaded in a sensible order, and fragile pieces are given additional protection. We always aim to minimise the risk of scratches, dents and breakages.

From a sustainability point of view, we plan routes carefully to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use. Where possible we reuse strong boxes and protective materials, and we encourage customers to recycle packing materials after their move. Our aim is to offer a reliable service that is also as responsible as it can be.

Real-World Uses for Our Man and Van Service

Moving House or Flat

Many Wallington residents use our man and van team for studio, one-bed and two-bed moves, or for moving significant items ahead of or after the main removal. We tailor the size of the team and van so you are not overpaying for capacity you do not need.

Office and Small Business Moves

For small offices and shops, a full removals crew is not always necessary. Our man and van option is ideal for moving desks, filing cabinets, stock and light equipment, whether within the same building or to new premises.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves cannot wait. Subject to availability, we can often help with same-day or next-day bookings for urgent relocations, landlord or tenant issues, and last-minute changes of plan. We will always be honest about what is achievable in the time available.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man and van service in Wallington cost?

Costs depend on the volume of items, the distance between addresses, how many movers you need and the access at each property. Smaller local moves may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while larger or more complex jobs are usually priced as a fixed quote. During your enquiry we will ask a few questions, then provide a clear breakdown so you know what is included. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges are explained before you confirm your booking.

Can you provide same-day or urgent man and van bookings?

In many cases we can help with same-day or next-day moves in Wallington, particularly outside of peak periods such as month-end and weekends. Availability depends on how many teams and vans are already booked, the size of your move, and the distance involved. If you have an urgent requirement, contact us as early as you can with full details. We will confirm realistically what we can do, agree a time window, and ensure we have the right number of movers and the appropriate vehicle.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Our man and van service includes goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our vehicle, plus public liability cover for any accidental damage to property. This is an important difference between a professional service and informal help. We will explain the key points of cover, including any limits or exclusions, when you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, please mention these in advance so we can advise on any special packing, handling or additional cover that may be appropriate.

What is included in a typical man and van removals service?

A standard man and van booking includes the vehicle, at least one experienced mover, loading at your old address, safe transport, and unloading into your new property. We supply blankets, straps and basic tools, and place items into the rooms you choose. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials and furniture dismantling or reassembly, all of which can be added to your quote if required. We agree exactly what is included in writing before the move so everyone is clear on who is doing what.

What is the difference between a removals service and a man and van?

A full removals service usually involves a larger team, a bigger vehicle, and more support with packing, dismantling and planning – ideal for large houses or complex moves. A man and van service is more streamlined: typically one or two movers and a medium-sized van, suited to smaller homes, partial moves and simpler jobs. With us, both options remain professional and fully insured; the difference is mostly scale and cost. We can advise which approach fits your move best based on your inventory and access.

How far in advance should I book?

For the best choice of dates and times, booking one to two weeks in advance is sensible, especially if you need a specific slot or are moving at the end of the month. However, we regularly accommodate shorter-notice moves where our schedule allows. Once you know your likely moving date, contact us with the details so we can pencil you in, then confirm when your plans are final. The earlier we hear from you, the easier it is to organise the right team, van and timing for your Wallington move.

Removal Van

Professional Removal Van in Wallington – Man and Van Wallington

At Man and Van Wallington, our removal van service is designed for hassle-free, well-organised moves across Wallington and the surrounding areas. Run by experienced local movers, we combine practical know‑how with a calm, professional approach so your belongings are moved safely, on time and with minimum disruption.

What Our Removal Van Service Includes

Our removal vans and teams can handle everything from a small flat move to a full family home or office relocation. Every move is carefully planned and carried out by trained, professional staff who understand how to protect your property and your belongings.

• Businesses relocating offices, retail spaces, or storage units
• Students moving to or from term‑time accommodation

Whether you need a single removal van with driver or multiple vans with a larger team, we scale the service to suit your move and your budget.

Local Removal Van Experts in Wallington

Working in Wallington day in, day out, we know the local roads, parking restrictions, and building layouts very well. This local knowledge means we can:

• Plan the best routes to avoid congestion and delays
• Advise on parking suspensions and access for larger vans
• Handle tight stairwells, maisonettes, and split‑level flats common in the area
• Coordinate moves around schools and busy commuter times

Our removal vans are modern, clean, and well‑maintained, fitted with ties, blankets, and equipment to secure your belongings during transit.

What We Can Move for You

Household & Domestic Items

• Sofas, armchairs, and beds
• Wardrobes, chests of drawers, and other furniture
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers
• TVs, audio equipment, and home electronics
• Boxes of clothes, books, toys, and personal effects
• Garage and shed contents, including tools and garden items

Office & Business Items

• Desks, office chairs, and filing cabinets
• Computers, screens, and printers
• Stock, archive boxes, and point‑of‑sale equipment

What We Cannot Move

For safety and legal reasons, there are some items we are unable to transport in our removal vans:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Illegal items of any kind
• Large quantities of cash, jewellery, or other high‑value personal items
• Live animals and pets
• Perishable food for long‑distance moves

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, we will advise you clearly before your moving day.

Step‑by‑Step: How Our Removal Van Service Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: where you are moving from and to, your move date, property size, and any special items. We provide a clear, no‑obligation quote, explaining the options (for example, van and driver only or van with full moving team).

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a quick survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit. We check access, parking, number of rooms, volume of items, and any fragile or bulky pieces. The survey ensures we send the right size removal van, the correct number of movers, and enough time to complete the job properly.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose to pack yourself or use our packing service. If we pack, we bring quality boxes and wrapping materials, label everything clearly, and prepare delicate items such as TVs, glass, and mirrors. If you pack, we will guide you on how to pack safely and efficiently so loading is straightforward on the day.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and bannisters where needed, and loads the van systematically. Furniture is wrapped or covered, and items are secured using straps and blankets. We then transport your goods via the safest and most efficient route, keeping you updated if there are any delays on the road.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. If agreed in advance, we can reassemble items we dismantled at the pickup address. Before we leave, we double‑check that everything has been unloaded and positioned according to your instructions.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our removal van services are usually priced either:

• By the hour for smaller or local moves, or
• As a fixed price for larger, pre‑surveyed moves

Your quote will clearly state what is included – the number of movers, size of van, estimated duration, and any optional services such as packing or furniture assembly. Parking fees or congestion charges, if applicable, are explained in advance so you can budget accurately.

Why Use a Professional Removal Van Service Instead of DIY?

Hiring a professional removal van team is usually safer, quicker, and more efficient than doing it yourself or using a casual, unvetted man‑and‑van. With Man and Van Wallington you benefit from:

• Trained staff who know how to lift, carry, and protect heavy and delicate items
• Appropriate equipment such as trolleys, straps, and blankets
• Fully insured cover for your goods and for public liability
• Proper planning that reduces the risk of delays and damage
• A calmer, more organised move with less physical strain and stress for you

DIY often ends up needing more trips, more time off work, and can risk injuries or damage that cost more than using professionals in the first place.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. That is why our service is fully backed by appropriate insurance and procedures:

• Goods in transit insurance – protection for your items while they are in our vehicles
• Public liability cover – protects you and your property in the unlikely event of an accident during the move
• Trained moving teams – staff are briefed, supervised, and follow agreed methods of work

We take care to handle your belongings as if they were our own, and if there is ever an issue, we deal with it promptly and fairly.

Care, Protection & Sustainability

Our approach is centred on careful handling and responsible working practices:

• Use of protective blankets, mattress covers, and floor protection where required
• Secure stacking inside the van to minimise movement in transit
• Re‑use of strong boxes and materials where safe to do so to reduce waste
• Route planning to cut unnecessary mileage and emissions

We aim to complete each move efficiently while keeping damage, disruption, and environmental impact as low as reasonably possible.

Common Uses for Our Removal Vans

Moving House

From studio flats to multi‑bedroom family homes, we manage the logistics so you can focus on settling in. We are used to working around school runs, key‑collection times, and chain completions.

Office & Business Relocations

We help businesses move with minimal downtime by planning around your trading hours. Desks, IT equipment, and stock are labelled and delivered to the right areas to help you get back up and running quickly.

Urgent or Same‑Day Moves

When circumstances change unexpectedly – last‑minute tenancy dates, emergency clear‑outs, or urgent deliveries – we will do our best to provide a same‑day or short‑notice removal van, subject to availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal van in Wallington cost?

The cost depends mainly on the size of your move, the distance involved, and how much help you need from our team. Smaller local moves are often charged by the hour, with a minimum booking period, while larger house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote after a survey. Your quote will clearly set out the rate, number of movers, and what is included, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.

Can you provide same‑day or urgent removal van services?

Yes, we can often help with same‑day or urgent moves in Wallington, especially for smaller jobs, subject to van and crew availability. The more notice you give, the more options we have, but we understand that not every move can be planned weeks in advance. If you need an urgent removal van, call us as early as possible with your details and we will let you know what we can offer, along with a clear price for the service.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our removal vans, and public liability cover for work at your properties. This is not a substitute for full home contents insurance, but it provides important protection in the unlikely event of damage or an accident directly related to our work. We will explain key terms and any limits in plain language before the job, so you understand exactly how you are covered.

What is included in your removal van service?

Our standard service includes a suitable removal van, a trained driver, and the agreed number of movers to load, transport, and unload your belongings. We supply blankets, straps, and basic protection for furniture as standard. Optional extras can include packing materials, full or partial packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and disposal of unwanted bulky items by prior agreement. Your written quote will confirm precisely what is included so there are no surprises on moving day.

How is a professional removal service different from a basic man‑and‑van?

A casual man‑and‑van often provides transport only, with limited or no insurance, equipment, or planning. Our service is a structured, professional removals operation: we carry appropriate insurance, use trained staff, conduct surveys for larger moves, and bring the right tools and protection for your furniture and property. We focus on safety, reliability, and accountability, which reduces the risk of damage, delays, and last‑minute cancellations that can sometimes occur with informal providers.

How far in advance should I book a removal van in Wallington?

For most moves, booking 2–3 weeks in advance gives the best choice of dates and times, especially at busy periods such as month‑end and weekends. However, we know that moves are not always confirmed that early, so we will always try to help even at short notice. Once you have a likely date, it is worth contacting us for a provisional booking. We can then adjust details as your plans are finalised, subject to availability.

At Man and Van Wallington, we provide reliable, efficient and carefully planned removal services in Wallington and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving flats, family homes and offices, we understand how to make moving day straightforward, safe and as stress-free as possible.

Local Removal Experts in Wallington

We are a locally based team that works in and around Wallington every day. That means we understand:

• Parking restrictions and access issues on local streets
• Busy times on nearby routes and how to avoid delays
• Challenges of top-floor flats and narrow stairwells
• Coordinating moves with local estate agents and letting agents

This local knowledge allows us to plan each job properly, arrive on time and protect your belongings from the moment we arrive to the moment we leave.

Who Our Removal Services Are For

Our removal services are designed for a wide range of customers in Wallington:

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of the area, we handle full house removals, including packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture where required.

Renters

From studio apartments to large rented houses, we can work to tight check-out times, protect the property and help you avoid damage charges by using proper protection on doors, walls and floors.

Landlords

We support landlords with part or full clearances, tenant changeovers and moving stored furniture between properties, always working with care and professionalism around your tenants.

Businesses

Our office and commercial removals cover small offices, shops and local firms. We can move desks, chairs, file storage, IT equipment and boxed stock with minimal downtime.

Students

Students moving to or from Wallington benefit from our flexible, smaller moves. We regularly handle shared house moves, term-time to home relocations and storage runs.

What Our Removal Service Includes

Most standard removal bookings can include:

• House removals – flats, terraced homes, semi-detached and detached properties
• Office and commercial removals – desks, chairs, cabinets, boxed files and equipment
• Furniture moves – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, sideboards and more
• Appliance moves – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected in advance)
• Student moves – boxes, suitcases, small furniture and personal items
• Part-load and single item moves – ideal for large online purchases or one-off items

What Is Not Included as Standard

To keep your quote accurate and expectations clear, some items and services are excluded unless agreed in advance:

• Disconnecting or reconnecting gas, electrical or plumbed-in appliances
• Removal of hazardous materials (fuel, chemicals, paint, asbestos, gas bottles)
• Live animals and pets
• Illegal items or items that cannot legally be transported
• Professional disconnection of IT networks or complex AV systems
• Long-term storage (though we can help arrange this with partner facilities)

If you have unusually heavy, high-value or delicate items (safes, pianos, antiques, artwork), we can usually move them, but we must be told in advance so we can plan the right team, vehicle and protective materials.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or email with basic details of your move: addresses, dates, size of property and any special items. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining exactly what is and is not included so there are no surprises later.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a brief survey. This can be via video call or an in-person visit in Wallington. We assess access, parking, staircases, lifts, and item volume. This helps us choose the right vehicle size and number of movers, and confirm the time we expect the move to take.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can do your own packing, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team uses double-walled boxes, bubble wrap and furniture blankets. We can also dismantle beds, wardrobes and other large items where needed. Everything is labelled clearly for easy unloading and placement at your new address.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and then starts loading. We protect doorways, bannisters and other vulnerable surfaces as required. Items are secured in the van using straps and blankets to prevent movement during transit. We then transport your belongings directly to your new property, using the safest and most efficient route.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload everything into the rooms you specify. Reassembly of pre-agreed furniture is completed, and we place items where you want them, not simply in the nearest room. Before we leave, we check you are happy with the placement and that nothing has been missed or left behind in the vehicle.

Transparent Pricing for Removal Services

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of items and size of property
• Distance between addresses
• Access and parking complexity
• Number of movers required
• Optional extras such as packing, materials and furniture assembly

Where appropriate, we offer fixed-price quotes for the full move, or an hourly rate for smaller or more flexible jobs. Any additional charges, such as congestion or parking fees, are discussed in advance and listed in your quote so you remain in control of your budget.

Why Choose Professional Removal Services Over DIY

Hiring a professional removal company in Wallington offers several advantages over a DIY move or casual man-and-van arrangement:

• Experienced movers who know how to handle heavy, awkward and fragile items safely
• Proper protective equipment, trolleys and lifting techniques to reduce risk of injury
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for peace of mind
• Reliable timings and a planned schedule rather than uncertain availability
• Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and to the property

Many customers tell us that by the time they factor in van hire, fuel, lost time, stress and the risk of damage, professional removal services represent strong value for money.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously. Man and Van Wallington operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance for your items while they are in our care
• Public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to property
• Trained and experienced moving teams who follow safe working practices

We handle your possessions as if they were our own, keeping clear records of the move and encouraging customers to highlight any particularly valuable or fragile objects so we can take extra care.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Our approach is based on looking after your belongings, your property and the environment:

• Use of high-quality blankets, straps and wrapping materials to protect items and surfaces
• Thoughtful stacking and loading to avoid crushing or movement in transit
• Reusable crates and blankets where possible to cut down on single-use materials
• Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions
• Encouraging box reuse and responsible disposal of packing materials after your move

We aim to balance efficiency with care, so your move is both smooth and as environmentally responsible as practical.

Real-World Removal Use Cases

Moving House in Wallington

From small terraces to larger family homes, we manage complete house moves, often coordinating key times and working alongside estate agents so everything lines up on completion day.

Office Relocation

We support local businesses relocating within Wallington or to nearby towns. We can schedule work out of hours or at weekends to minimise disruption and carefully label all equipment for straightforward setup at the new premises.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up unexpectedly: last-minute tenancy changes, relationship breakdowns or urgent property issues. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day removal services, still maintaining high standards of care and organisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removal services in Wallington cost?

The cost depends mainly on the size of your move, the distance between properties and how easy access is at each address. Smaller flat moves within Wallington might be charged at an hourly rate, while full house or office relocations are usually quoted at a fixed price. Optional extras such as packing, materials and furniture assembly will also affect the total. We always assess your move first, then provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removal jobs?

Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice removals in Wallington, depending on our schedule and vehicle availability. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with your details. We will let you know quickly whether we can accommodate the job and what options are available. Even for last-minute bookings, we still follow a structured process, checking access and item details so we can send the right team and equipment for a safe, efficient move.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved, and public liability cover for any accidental damage to property. These insurances sit alongside our careful working practices and experienced team. We do ask customers to highlight any particularly high-value items when booking, so we can confirm coverage and, if needed, take additional precautions. Full details of our insurance arrangements are available on request and can be discussed at quotation stage for your peace of mind.

What is included in a typical removal service?

A standard removal service usually includes supplying the vehicle, a trained moving team, loading your belongings, securing them safely for transport, driving to your new address and unloading into your chosen rooms. We use blankets and straps to protect items and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture if agreed in advance. Optional extras include packing services, boxes and materials, and more extensive assembly work. We outline exactly what is included in your quote, so you can add or remove services according to your needs and budget.

How is a professional removal service different from a basic man-and-van?

While some man-and-van operators provide a good service, a professional removal company offers a more structured and reliable approach. We carry appropriate insurance, use trained staff, conduct surveys where needed and plan each move carefully. Our vehicles are equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys specifically for removals work. You get written quotes, clear terms and a point of contact throughout. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings, and is especially important for full house or office moves where there is more at stake.

How far in advance should I book my removal in Wallington?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a likely moving date, particularly during busy periods such as the end of the month and school holidays. For most house and office moves, 2–4 weeks’ notice is sensible and gives time for surveys, planning and packing. That said, we understand dates can change at short notice. We will always do our best to accommodate late bookings, and we often have space for smaller or local moves on shorter notice, especially midweek.

Storage

• Businesses storing files, equipment or surplus stock
• Students needing term-time or holiday storage for belongings

Local Storage Expertise in Wallington

We know Wallington and the surrounding areas inside out – from residential streets and parking restrictions to the practicalities of accessing flats and offices. That local knowledge means we can plan efficient routes, advise on collection times and handle tricky access calmly and safely.

Because we are a local, owner-managed firm, you deal with people who genuinely care about your move and your possessions. Our professional crews are familiar with the area’s housing stock, so we know how to move and store items from Victorian terraces, new-build apartments and commercial premises with minimal disruption.

What You Can Store with Us

Common Items We Store

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, bookshelves
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (drained and cleaned)
• Personal belongings – boxes, books, clothes, kitchenware, toys
• Office items – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, archive boxes, IT equipment
• Retail and business stock – boxed goods, promotional materials, display stands

Items We Cannot Store

For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded from storage:

• Perishable goods and food (fresh, frozen or opened)
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials – fuels, gases, chemicals, paints
• Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
• Live plants, animals or any living organisms
• Cash, high-value jewellery or important documents best kept in a safe or bank

If you are unsure whether an item can be stored, we are happy to advise before collection.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online form with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few straightforward questions and provide a clear, no-obligation estimate based on volume, access and duration.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger loads or more complex jobs, we recommend a free survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Wallington. We assess the volume, packing needs, access and any special care items so we can allocate the right team, vehicle and storage space.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. We supply quality packing materials and can wrap furniture, protect mattresses and secure fragile items. Larger items can be dismantled where appropriate to make storage more efficient.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

On collection day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and walls where needed and carefully loads your items. Everything is inventoried and labelled before being transported securely to our storage facility in our fully equipped vans.

5. Secure Storage, Unloading & Placement

Your goods are unloaded into a dedicated, locked storage unit or container. We stack items safely to avoid damage, ensuring heavy items are correctly positioned and fragile pieces given extra protection. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery, unload and place items in the rooms you specify.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in straightforward, honest pricing. Our storage costs are based on:

• Volume of goods (measured in cubic feet or metres)
• Collection and redelivery distance from Wallington
• Level of service (self-packed or professional packing)
• Duration of storage (short or long term)

You receive a written quotation before you commit, detailing collection charges, weekly or monthly storage rates and any optional extras. There are no hidden fees – if your needs change, we will update the quote and agree it with you in advance.

Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?

Storing your belongings is about more than just finding space. With a professional removal and storage company, you benefit from:

• Trained teams who know how to pack, lift and stack safely
• Purpose-equipped vehicles with securing points and protective equipment
• Structured inventory systems so items are not lost or mixed up
• Fully insured cover for your possessions in transit and in store
• Consistent standards and accountability compared to casual operators

DIY storage or a cheap, unregulated man-and-van might appear to save money upfront, but damage, loss or unsafe lifting can be far more costly. Our service is designed to protect both your belongings and your time.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your possessions are important, both financially and emotionally. We treat them accordingly.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while being transported between your property and our storage facility.
• Public liability cover – protects you and your property while our team works on site.
• Trained moving teams – all staff receive ongoing training in safe handling, packing and customer care.

We work to established industry best practice, using quality materials and proven techniques to minimise risk at every stage. Documentation of cover can be provided on request.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We focus on keeping your goods safe while reducing waste wherever possible.

• Use of reusable protective blankets and durable crates where suitable
• Recycling of cardboard and packing materials once they reach end of life
• Encouraging customers to reuse boxes and materials across moves and storage
• Careful route planning in and around Wallington to cut unnecessary mileage

Every item is handled as though it were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are bagged and delicate items receive extra padding, reducing damage and the need for replacement.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House in Stages

Many Wallington homeowners and renters use storage when completing chains do not line up. We can remove and store non-essential items before completion, then deliver them once you are settled in the new property, reducing moving day pressure.

Office and Business Relocations

Businesses often need temporary storage when refitting offices, upsizing or downsizing. We store furniture, IT equipment, files and stock, delivering in phases to match your project timeline and minimise downtime.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes a tenancy ends or a completion date changes at short notice. Our flexible storage service gives you a safe interim solution, buying you time to find your next property without rushing important decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Man and Van Wallington cost?

Storage costs depend on how much you store, for how long and the level of service you need. We usually price based on the volume of your goods, measured during a survey or from your inventory, then apply a weekly or monthly rate. Collection and redelivery are quoted separately, along with any optional professional packing. Once we understand your situation, we provide a clear written estimate with no hidden extras, so you can compare options and choose the most economical solution for your needs.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Wallington?

Where availability allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage for urgent situations, such as last-minute tenancy changes or delayed completions. The more notice you can give, the better, but we understand that plans can change quickly. If you call us as soon as you know you need help, we will check vehicle and unit availability, then advise what is realistically possible. We always aim to offer a practical solution, even on short timescales, and will be honest if specific time slots or services are limited.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and by our standard storage cover while in our facility, subject to our terms and conditions and any value limits. We also carry public liability insurance for work at your property. During the quotation stage, we will discuss approximate values so we can confirm the level of cover in place. If you have particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional cover or alternative arrangements to ensure everything is fully protected.

What is included in your storage service?

Our core storage service includes collection from your property in Wallington or nearby, safe loading by a trained team, transport to our secure facility, storage in a dedicated unit or container and redelivery when you need your items back. We can also provide optional extras such as professional packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply of packing materials. During your quote, we will clearly set out what is included as standard and what is optional, so you can tailor the service to your needs and budget.

How is your storage different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van typically offers only transport, often without proper insurance, training or secure storage facilities. We provide a complete, accountable service: trained staff, fully insured vehicles and secure storage units with proper inventories and handling procedures. Your items are professionally wrapped, stacked and recorded, reducing the risk of damage or loss. You also have a single point of contact to coordinate collection, storage duration and redelivery, giving you far more control and peace of mind than an ad-hoc transport-only service.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as month-end and summer. However, we know plans can change suddenly, so we always try to help with shorter notice where capacity allows. As soon as you think you may need storage, get in touch for an initial estimate. We can pencil in provisional dates and adjust them as your situation becomes clearer, ensuring you are not left without options at the last minute.

Packing and Boxes

Packing and Boxes in Wallington

At Man and Van Wallington, our Packing and Boxes service is designed to take the stress, mess, and risk out of preparing for your move. As local Wallington removals professionals with years of hands-on experience, we know that how well you pack is just as important as how far you move.

Professional Packing Services in Wallington

Packing is the part most people dread. It is time-consuming, physically demanding, and if it is done badly, it can be expensive when items arrive damaged. Our trained team offers a complete range of packing options, tailored to your move and your budget:

• Full packing service – We pack every item in your home or office, room by room.
• Part packing service – Ideal if you want us to handle only fragile or high-value items.
• Owner packing with supplied boxes – You pack yourself using our professional-quality materials.
• Unpacking service – We can unpack and place items in your new property.

All work is carried out by trained, professional packers using industry-standard materials to keep your belongings safe in transit.

Local Wallington Expertise You Can Rely On

Based in Wallington, we understand local properties, from period terraces and maisonettes to modern flats and office units. Tight staircases, parking restrictions, and access issues are things we deal with every day. Our local knowledge allows us to choose the right box sizes, packing sequence, and loading plan so that your move runs smoothly from Wallington to anywhere in the UK.

Who Our Packing and Boxes Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing, or relocating out of Wallington, we protect everything from kitchenware and wardrobes to artwork and garden tools. We can coordinate our packing service with your removal date to minimise disruption.

Renters

For tenants leaving a rented flat or house, careful packing helps avoid damage and disputes over your deposit. We work efficiently in smaller spaces and can often complete packing in a single day for typical flats.

Landlords

We help landlords clear and pack contents from properties between tenancies, including furniture, appliances, and stored items, ready for storage, disposal, or relocation.

Businesses

Our commercial packing service covers offices, shops, and small commercial units. We use professional packing methods for IT equipment, files, stock, and furniture, labelling systematically so you can resume trading quickly.

Students

Students moving to or from Wallington benefit from a cost-effective, compact packing solution for bedrooms, shared areas, and small storage units. We supply suitable boxes and can combine packing with a small move service.

What Is Included in Our Packing and Boxes Service

We use high-quality, purpose-made packing materials, selected for UK removals work:

• Double-walled moving boxes in various sizes
• Wardrobe cartons with hanging rails for clothes
• Bubble wrap and packing paper for fragile items
• Picture and mirror cartons
• Strong packing tape and labels
• Protective coverings for furniture and soft furnishings

Typical items we pack include:

• Kitchenware, crockery, glassware, and food cupboards
• Books, ornaments, and decorative items
• Clothing, shoes, and linens
• Small appliances and electronics
• Office files, stationery, and paperwork

What We Cannot Pack

For safety, legal, or insurance reasons, there are some items we cannot pack or place in our boxes:

• Flammable, explosive, or hazardous materials (e.g. petrol, gas bottles, paint thinners)
• Perishable or open food items for long moves
• Illegal items or substances
• Large amounts of cash, jewellery, or irreplaceable documents – these are best carried by you
• Live plants and animals

If you are unsure whether something can be packed, we will clarify during the survey stage.

Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact Man and Van Wallington by phone or online with basic details: property size, location in Wallington, destination, and your preferred dates. We provide an initial estimate for packing and materials, explaining the options clearly so you can choose full or part packing.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

We arrange a short survey, either onsite in Wallington or via video. This lets us assess the volume of belongings, access, parking, and any fragile or unusual items. The survey enables an accurate, fixed quotation with a breakdown of labour and materials.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our professional, trained team arrives with all boxes and materials. We protect floors where necessary, pack room by room, and label every carton clearly by area and contents. Fragile items receive extra padding and careful positioning in their boxes.

4. Loading & Transport

If we are also carrying out your removal, our crew then loads all packed boxes and furniture onto our vehicles. Boxes are stacked systematically, with heavy items at the bottom and fragile cartons secured. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while on our vehicles.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload and place boxes in the correct rooms according to labels. If you have booked our unpacking service, we then carefully unpack, place items on surfaces or in cupboards as directed, and remove used packing materials for recycling or reuse wherever possible.

Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes

We believe in clear, honest pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of items to be packed
• Type and quantity of packing materials required
• Number of packers and time needed
• Any special handling (antiques, artwork, IT equipment)

You receive a written quotation detailing labour, materials, and any additional services. There are no hidden call-out or “packing surcharge” fees. For customers who prefer to pack themselves, we can provide boxes and materials only, priced per item or as a bundle.

Why Use Professional Packers Instead of DIY?

Many people in Wallington start with the intention of packing themselves, only to realise how complex it can be. Using a professional packing service offers several advantages:

• Correct materials and methods reduce the risk of breakage
• Experienced teams work faster and more efficiently
• Proper labelling makes unpacking far easier at the other end
• Reduced physical strain and less time off work
• Better integration with your overall removals schedule

Compared with a casual man-and-van service, you benefit from trained staff, better planning, and formal insurance cover. This is especially important for fragile, sentimental, or high-value items.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man and Van Wallington operates to clear professional standards:

• Goods in transit insurance – Protects your belongings while they are on our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – Covers accidental damage to property during our work.
• Trained moving teams – Our staff are trained in safe lifting, packing techniques, and handling fragile items.

We will explain the scope of cover and any conditions at quotation stage so you understand exactly how your items are protected.

Care, Protection, and Sustainability

Looking after your belongings and the environment is central to how we work. We use sturdy, reusable plastic crates where appropriate and high-quality cardboard boxes that can be recycled. Whenever possible, we collect used boxes after your move for reuse or recycling. Furniture and floors are protected during packing and loading to minimise the risk of scuffs or marks.

We also plan vehicle routes from Wallington to reduce unnecessary mileage, helping to cut fuel use and emissions while still meeting your timescales.

Real-World Uses of Our Packing and Boxes Service

Moving House in or from Wallington

Full packing for family homes, including fragile kitchens, children’s rooms, and loft contents. Ideal if you are working right up to moving day.

Office and Business Relocations

Careful boxing of files, stock, and IT equipment with clear labelling so that your Wallington business can be up and running quickly at the new site.

Urgent or Last-Minute Moves

When time is tight, we can deploy additional packers to complete packing at short notice, subject to availability. This is useful for rapid relocations, tenancy changes, or unforeseen circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does professional packing in Wallington cost?

The cost depends mainly on the volume of belongings, the level of service, and the materials required. A small flat with part packing (for fragile items only) will cost less than a full packing service for a larger family house. After a short survey, we provide a fixed quotation that clearly separates labour and materials, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. We are always happy to adjust the scope to match your budget, for example by combining full packing in key rooms with self-packing elsewhere.

Can you offer same-day or urgent packing services?

Where our schedule allows, we can help with urgent or short-notice packing in Wallington. Same-day service is not guaranteed but is sometimes possible, particularly outside peak periods. The earlier you contact us, the better chance we have of arranging a team and materials. For urgent moves, we focus first on essentials and fragile items to ensure they are safely packed, then work through the remaining rooms as time allows. We will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve within your timescales.

Are my belongings insured while being packed and moved?

Yes, your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are on our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work carried out on-site. These policies are designed for removals work and provide reassurance against accidental damage. There are some standard exclusions, such as certain high-value items and documents, which we will explain before you book. We always recommend that irreplaceable items, jewellery, and important paperwork are carried personally by you, as a sensible extra precaution alongside our formal insurance.

What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?

Our service includes the supply of appropriate boxes and packing materials, the labour to pack agreed items, clear labelling of cartons, and basic protection for furniture and floors while we work. If we are also handling your removal, we integrate packing with loading and unloading so that everything flows smoothly. Optional extras include unpacking at your new address and removal of used packing materials. During the survey, we will confirm which rooms and item types are included, and highlight anything we cannot legally or safely pack so that you can make other arrangements.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While a casual man-and-van may offer cheap transport, our service is built around professional packing standards, planning, and insurance. We use trained crews, purpose-made materials, and structured processes to reduce the risk of loss or damage. Each box is packed and labelled systematically, and we coordinate packing with the move itself. You also have the reassurance of goods in transit and public liability cover. For customers who value their belongings and want a predictable, low-stress move, this level of professionalism makes a significant difference compared with ad-hoc transport only.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?

For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks before your move, especially during busy periods such as month-end and school holidays. That said, we regularly accommodate moves with shorter notice, depending on availability. Once you know your likely completion or handover date in Wallington, it is worth contacting us so we can pencil you in. We can finalise details once your dates are confirmed. Early booking also gives you time to declutter, which can reduce both packing time and the number of boxes needed.

Office relocations are very different from standard house moves. They involve sensitive IT equipment, confidential files, shared workspaces and strict timeframes. Our dedicated office removals team is trained to plan and carry out moves for:

• Small and medium-sized offices relocating within Wallington
• Businesses moving in or out of serviced offices
• Expanding companies moving to larger premises
• Downsizing or consolidation of multiple sites

We work around your trading hours, including evenings and weekends where required, to keep your staff productive and your customers unaffected.

Who Our Office Removals Service Is For

Although this page focuses on office moves, our commercial removals service supports a wide range of clients in and around Wallington:

• Homeowners running home offices or studios who need equipment moved carefully
• Renters moving from serviced office spaces or shared buildings
• Landlords clearing or setting up office units between tenancies
• Businesses of all sizes moving desks, IT, archives and stock
• Students with study equipment, computers and desks to move between term-time addresses

Whether you operate from a single room office or a multi-floor space, we tailor the move to suit your layout, access, and timescales.

What We Move in an Office Removal

Our trained crews are experienced in handling a wide range of office contents, including:

• Desks and workstations (including sit/stand desks and modular systems)
• Office chairs and meeting room furniture
• Filing cabinets, cupboards and shelving
• IT equipment – PCs, laptops, servers, monitors, printers, phone systems
• Archives and documents, packed and labelled for easy reorganisation
• Reception furniture and display units
• Kitchen and breakout area items, including white goods where required

Items Typically Excluded

For safety, legal or specialist reasons, some items are excluded from our standard office removals service:

• Hazardous materials (chemicals, solvents, gas bottles)
• Large industrial machinery beyond normal office use
• Cash, high-value personal jewellery or confidential data not packaged appropriately
• Illegal or prohibited items

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will clarify during the survey and advise on the best way to handle it.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Your move starts with a simple phone call or online enquiry. We ask a few key questions about your current premises, new location, date ranges and any time restrictions. Based on this, we provide an initial guide price and outline of the service, so you understand exactly what is included and what options are available.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For office removals, we strongly recommend a pre-move survey. This can be carried out virtually (video call and photos) or as a site visit in Wallington, depending on your preference. The survey allows us to:

• Assess access, parking and lift use
• Count workstations, furniture and IT items
• Identify fragile or high-value equipment
• Plan any dismantling and reassembly needed

With this information, we can provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.

3. Packing & Preparation

Effective packing is essential for a smooth office move. We offer:

• Full packing service – our team packs all equipment, files and general contents
• Part packing service – you pack non-essentials; we handle IT, fragile and bulky items
• Crate hire and labels for self-packing if you prefer

We protect monitors, computers and servers with appropriate materials, ensuring cables and accessories stay organised. Furniture that needs to be dismantled is carefully taken apart and labelled for reassembly.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained removals team arrives on time with the right size vehicles and equipment. We:

• Protect floors, doors and high-traffic areas
• Load in a logical order to match your floor plan
• Secure items using blankets, straps and specialist equipment

Your goods are transported in our well-maintained vehicles under goods in transit insurance cover, giving you confidence throughout the journey.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office, we place items according to your agreed layout. Desks and furniture are reassembled, and labelled crates are delivered to the correct rooms or teams. We can coordinate with your IT provider or internal team to position servers, workstations and peripherals where needed, helping you get back up and running quickly.

Transparent Pricing for Office Removals

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes take into account:

• Volume and type of items to be moved
• Distance between locations
• Access, parking and any restrictions (e.g. out-of-hours moves)
• Packing requirements and crate hire
• Number of movers and vehicles needed

You receive a written quotation outlining what is included, any optional extras and how overtime or additional services are charged if requested on the day. There are no hidden surcharges for standard stairs or normal office access conditions.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

While it can be tempting to hire a casual van or ask staff to help, moving an office is more complex than shifting a few boxes. Using a professional removals company brings several advantages:

• Reduced risk of damage to expensive IT and furniture
• Minimised downtime through planning and efficient execution
• Health and safety compliance – no injuries from untrained lifting
• Access to goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Experienced coordination of lifts, loading bays and building management

Ultimately, a well-run professional move usually costs less than the downtime, damage and disruption associated with a DIY approach.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man and Van Wallington operates to high professional standards, giving you reassurance at every stage:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your office contents during the move
• Public liability insurance to cover accidental damage to premises or third parties
• Trained moving teams who understand manual handling, IT protection and confidentiality

We treat your equipment and premises with the same care we would apply to our own, and we are happy to work to any building management rules or access procedures required at your site.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Protecting your assets is central to how we work. We use quality protective materials to safeguard furniture, IT and surfaces. Where possible, we use reusable moving crates, blankets and covers to reduce single-use plastics and general waste. Routes are planned efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage and emissions. If you have unwanted furniture in good condition, we can often help arrange donation or responsible disposal, supporting a more sustainable office move.

Real-World Office Removal Scenarios

Our Wallington office removals team handles a variety of moves, including:

• Office relocation – moving a team to larger or better-located premises
• Internal reorganisation – reshuffling desks and departments within the same building
• Urgent moves – short-notice office relocations following lease changes or building issues
• Hybrid and flexible working changes – reducing or reconfiguring office space

Whatever your situation, we focus on keeping your staff informed, your equipment protected and your business functioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Wallington cost?

The cost of an office removal in Wallington depends on the volume of furniture and equipment, access at both sites, distance between locations and whether you require packing services or crate hire. Smaller office moves can often be completed within a day, while larger projects may span multiple days. After a survey, we provide a clear, itemised quotation so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras for standard stairs or normal access conditions.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

We understand that business circumstances can change quickly, so we do our best to accommodate same-day or urgent office moves in Wallington where our schedule allows. Availability will depend on the size of your move and the notice given. For smaller offices or part relocations, we can often respond at short notice. For larger or more complex moves, we will advise the earliest practical date and create a condensed plan to minimise downtime while still moving your equipment safely.

What insurance cover do you provide during the move?

Your office contents are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care and in our vehicles. We also hold public liability insurance, which provides protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to the building or third parties during the move. These policies sit alongside our practical safeguards: trained staff, appropriate packing materials and careful handling procedures. We are happy to outline our cover in writing if required by your landlord, managing agent or internal risk team.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard office removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture, IT equipment and packed contents between your old and new premises. We provide basic protection for items and property, and we can dismantle and reassemble standard office furniture where agreed in advance. Optional extras include full or part packing, crate hire, out-of-hours working and disposal of unwanted items. All inclusions and options are listed clearly in your quotation, so you can choose the level of support that suits your business.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van is usually geared towards simple, light moves with limited planning. Our office removals service is structured and professional. We carry out surveys, provide written quotations, supply trained teams and use appropriate equipment for commercial environments. We are fully insured for goods in transit and public liability, and we plan moves around your working hours and building requirements. In short, we focus on minimising disruption, protecting your assets and ensuring your business can continue operating smoothly throughout the relocation.

How far in advance should I book an office removal?

For most office moves in Wallington, we recommend booking as early as possible, ideally 4–6 weeks ahead of your preferred date, especially if you need a weekend or month-end slot. This gives time for surveys, planning, crate delivery and staff communication. However, we know that leases and circumstances do not always allow for long lead times. If your move is sooner, contact us anyway; we will check availability and work with you to create a realistic, efficient plan around the dates you have.

Man with a Van

Man with a Van Wallington – Man and Van Wallington

At Man and Van Wallington, our man with a van service is designed for fast, efficient and carefully managed moves in and around Wallington. You get an experienced local driver–porter, a clean, modern van and the backing of a fully insured, professional removals company – ideal for anything from a single sofa to a full small flat move.

What Our Man with a Van Service Includes

Our man with a van option is a flexible, lower-cost alternative to a full removals crew, without cutting corners on care or safety. It is best suited to smaller moves and transport jobs where you may be able to help with some lifting.

Typical service variations

• Single-item moves – sofas, beds, wardrobes, appliances
• Small flat and studio moves – ideal for 1–2 rooms
• Student moves – boxes, bags, bikes and small furniture
• Office equipment moves – desks, chairs, IT equipment
• Collection & delivery – eBay, Gumtree, IKEA and store collections
• Short-notice & urgent jobs – where you need a van today or tomorrow

Every job includes a uniformed, trained driver–porter, loading and unloading help, protective blankets and securing straps as standard.

Local Wallington Expertise

Based in Wallington, we work across the local area every day. That local knowledge matters when it comes to parking restrictions, busy school roads, one-way streets and timed loading bays. We regularly serve Bandon Hill, South Wallington, Roundshaw, Carshalton and surrounding neighbourhoods.

Because we know Wallington well, we can often recommend the best access points for tricky blocks of flats, advise on council parking suspensions, and plan routes to avoid bottlenecks – all of which helps keep your move on time and stress-free.

Who Our Man with a Van Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal for smaller house moves, clearing a garage, taking furniture to storage, or bringing large purchases home. Many homeowners use us alongside a larger removals team to move select items on a different day.

Renters

Perfect for 1–2 bedroom flats, house shares and room-to-room moves. If you are between rentals and travelling light, a man with a van can often complete your move in a single run, keeping costs manageable.

Landlords

We regularly help landlords with furniture swaps, end-of-tenancy clearances (non-waste items) and delivering or retrieving white goods and beds between properties.

Businesses

Small businesses and trades use our service for moving stock, tools, filing, exhibition stands and office furniture. It is more reliable and professional than hiring an unknown casual van, with public liability cover in place.

Students

Our student moves are tailored for term-time and end-of-year changes. We move boxes, bags, small furniture, instruments and bikes between halls, shared houses and home addresses, with clear, affordable pricing.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items typically included

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, drawers
• Domestic appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted)
• Boxes, crates, bags and suitcases
• Office furniture and boxed files
• IT and electricals – PCs, monitors, TVs (properly packed)
• Bikes, gym equipment and hobby items
• Shop stock, archive boxes and light commercial goods

Items we must exclude or review

• Hazardous materials – fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint, asbestos
• Illegal or prohibited items
• Live animals or pets
• Unsecured loose rubble, soil or building waste
• Large upright pianos, grand pianos and specialist machinery (by prior agreement only)
• Extremely high-value items or artworks without prior notification

If you are unsure about a particular item, mention it when you enquire and we will advise whether we can move it safely and legally.

Our Step-by-Step Man with a Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: addresses, dates, list of items and any access notes (stairs, lifts, parking). We then provide a clear, no-obligation price, usually the same day. For straightforward jobs, a detailed written quote can often be confirmed from your description and photos alone.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex man with a van moves, we may suggest a quick video call survey or, occasionally, an onsite visit. This helps us check access, estimate how many trips are required and confirm whether additional porters are needed. The aim is to avoid surprises on the day and keep the quote accurate and fair.

3. Packing & Preparation

Most man with a van clients prefer to pack their own belongings. We can supply packing materials in advance on request. To keep things efficient, we ask that boxes are sealed and labelled, flat-pack furniture is dismantled where possible, and white goods are disconnected and drained. If you need help with basic dismantling, let us know when booking.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained driver–porter arrives on time, walks through the job with you, and plans the loading order. We use blankets, straps and proper lifting techniques to protect your items and the property. Everything is secured in the van before transport. We then travel directly to your destination using sensible, van-friendly routes.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload items into the rooms you indicate, placing furniture where you want it. We will not disappear until you are satisfied everything listed has been delivered and positioned as agreed. If we are making multiple drops, we work to the agreed schedule, keeping you updated throughout.

Transparent Pricing – How We Charge

We keep our pricing clear and straightforward. For most man with a van jobs in Wallington, we charge either:

• A fixed price for an agreed list of items and distance, or
• An hourly rate with a minimum booking period

Your quote will set out exactly what is included – the van, your professional driver–porter, loading and unloading help, and the mileage agreed. Extra time, extra porters or additional trips are discussed and agreed with you before we proceed, so you remain in control of costs.

Why Choose a Professional Man with a Van Over DIY

Hiring a van and doing it yourself can seem cheaper, but there are hidden risks and costs: fuel, excess mileage, deposits, potential damage to your belongings and possible injury from incorrect lifting. Using a professional man with a van service means experienced handling, efficient loading, and goods in transit insurance should the unexpected happen.

Unlike many casual operators, we operate as a proper removals business, with trained staff, maintained vehicles and clear terms of service. That means more predictable timings, safer transport and much less stress for you.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your belongings are important to you, so we treat them as if they were our own. Our man with a van service is backed by:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are in our vehicle
• Public liability cover – protection in case of accidental damage to property
• Trained moving teams – staff shown correct lifting, carrying and securing techniques

We work to recognised removals industry best practice: safe loading, clear documentation where needed, and polite, respectful behaviour in your home or workplace.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We always load with protection in mind – using blankets, straps and careful stacking to avoid crush damage and scuffs. Floors and bannisters are protected where access is tight, and we plan the order of loading to minimise handling.

We also aim to work as sustainably as practical: reusing durable packing materials, recycling where possible, and planning routes to cut unnecessary mileage. Keeping vans well maintained and loaded efficiently reduces fuel consumption and emissions, while still delivering a reliable service.

Real-World Situations We Help With

Moving House (Smaller Moves)

If you are moving from or to a studio, one-bedroom flat or lightly furnished two-bed, our man with a van service can often handle your entire move in one or two trips. It is especially useful if you are flexible on timing or spreading your move over more than one day.

Office and Business Relocations

For small offices and local business moves, we transport desks, chairs, filing cabinets, boxed files and IT equipment between premises. Evening or weekend moves can be arranged to minimise disruption to your trading hours.

Urgent and Same-Day Moves

Sometimes plans change quickly – tenancy dates brought forward, items sold sooner than expected, or a last-minute clearance needed. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day man with a van services in Wallington. Call us as early as you can and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Pricing depends on the size of the job, distance and time required. Smaller local moves may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while longer or more complex jobs are usually quoted at a fixed price. Factors such as stairs, parking distance from the property and the need for extra porters can affect the cost. Once we have your details, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you will pay before you book.

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

Yes, where our schedule allows we can often offer same-day or short-notice bookings within Wallington and nearby areas. Availability is best when you contact us early in the day, but it is always worth calling to check as we sometimes have gaps between larger moves. For urgent work, please have your addresses, list of items and ideal times ready so we can assess quickly and confirm whether we can get a van and driver–porter to you in time.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Our man with a van service includes goods in transit insurance for your items while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. Cover is subject to our terms and conditions, including appropriate packing and notification of any unusually valuable or fragile items in advance. We are happy to explain the cover limits before you book so you can decide if you need any additional insurance of your own.

What is included in your man with a van service?

You receive a suitable van, a trained driver–porter, loading and unloading help, protective blankets and securing straps, and transport between the agreed addresses. We place items into the rooms you specify and can, by prior arrangement, assist with basic dismantling and reassembly. Packing materials and full packing services are not automatically included but can be added if needed. Your quote will explain precisely what is covered so you know what to expect on the day.

How is this different from a standard removals service?

A man with a van is a lighter, more flexible option than a full removals crew. It usually involves one van and one porter, sometimes with your help for heavier items, and is ideal for smaller moves or single-item jobs. A standard removals service typically uses a larger team, more than one vehicle and includes more comprehensive packing, protection and planning. We are happy to advise which option suits your situation best, based on volume, access and your budget.

How far in advance should I book?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance, especially for weekends and month-end when demand is higher. However, we understand that not all moves are planned that far ahead. We keep some flexibility in our schedule, so if you need a man with a van at short notice in Wallington, do get in touch – we will always try to find a slot that works, even if that means an evening or off-peak appointment.

Who Our Wallington Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Moving from or to a house in Wallington or the surrounding areas? We regularly handle full household moves, including packing, dismantling and reassembling furniture, and careful placement of items in your new home.

Renters

If you are moving between rented flats or houses, we can work around tight time slots, stair-only access, and parking restrictions. We are used to dealing with managing agents and landlords to keep everything straightforward.

Landlords

Landlords often use our service to clear or part-clear properties between tenancies, move furniture between lets, or support tenants with pre-arranged removals on moving day.

Businesses

From small offices to local retailers and service providers, we provide professional business and office removals in Wallington. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock and files with a clear labelling system to help you get trading again quickly.

Students

Students moving to or from Wallington benefit from a cost-effective, smaller-scale service. We can move personal belongings, books, clothes, and small furniture to halls, shared houses or storage.

What Our Removals Service Includes

Items Typically Included

We routinely move most household and office items, including:

• Sofas, armchairs, beds, wardrobes, chests of drawers
• Tables, desks, office chairs and filing cabinets
• Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other white goods
• TVs, computers, printers and general electronics
• Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and kitchenware
• Garage and shed contents (tools, bikes, garden equipment)

Items We Cannot or May Not Move

For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or may require special arrangements:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, paint thinners, chemicals)
• Illegal items or items that cannot legally be transported
• Large commercial machinery not previously agreed
• Valuables such as cash, jewellery and important documents (we recommend you move these personally)
• Animals and live plants in bulk (single houseplants are usually fine if noted in advance)

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will clarify this during your enquiry and survey.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: current address, destination, move date, size of property and any access notes. We provide an initial estimate and explain what information we will need to give a firm quote.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

We then complete a survey, either via video call or an onsite visit in Wallington. This allows us to understand volumes, access issues, parking, and any special items such as pianos or large wardrobes. Based on this, we give you a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Packing service – our team supplies materials and packs your belongings securely.
• Part-pack service – we pack fragile or high-value items, you pack the rest.
• Self-pack – you pack everything, and we provide advice on safe boxing and labelling.

We can also dismantle and protect furniture and disconnect basic appliances by prior arrangement.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time, protects floors and key pathways where needed, and loads the van methodically. Items are wrapped and secured using blankets, straps and suitable fixtures. Your goods are then transported directly to your new address using our fully insured vehicles.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing boxes and furniture where you need them. Where agreed, we reassemble furniture and position white goods ready for connection. We complete a final walk-through with you to ensure everything is in the right place.

Transparent Pricing for Wallington Removals

We price each move fairly based on:

• Property size and volume of belongings
• Distance between properties
• Access conditions (stairs, lifts, parking distance)
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Whether packing materials and packing services are included

Our quotations clearly set out what is included, any optional services, and how overtime or waiting time would be handled if it arises. There are no surprise charges on the day as long as the scope of work remains as agreed.

Why Choose a Professional Removal Company Instead of DIY

Hiring a professional removal company in Wallington offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using an informal man-and-van:

• Safety – correct lifting techniques and equipment reduce the risk of injury.
• Protection – furniture and belongings are wrapped, padded and secured properly.
• Efficiency – experienced movers load and unload faster and more methodically.
• Reliability – booked crews arrive at the scheduled time with the right size vehicles.
• Insurance cover – your goods are protected if something does go wrong.

In many cases, the overall cost is comparable to DIY once you factor in vehicle hire, fuel, time off work, and potential damage or injury.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man and Van Wallington operates to clear professional standards to protect you and your belongings:

• Goods in transit insurance – cover for your items while they are being moved in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to property or third parties during the move.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are trained in safe lifting, packing, stacking and handling of delicate items.

We are transparent about what is covered, any limits, and how claims would be handled, so you can plan with confidence.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every item as if it were our own. That means using heavy-duty covers for furniture, mattress bags where requested, and extra protection for glass, mirrors and electronics. Floors and banisters are protected where required, particularly in newly decorated properties.

From a sustainability perspective, we aim to minimise waste by:

• Reusing strong removal crates and blankets across jobs
• Offering reusable packaging options where practical
• Planning efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage

Whenever possible, we also suggest ways you can reduce packing materials and responsibly dispose of items you no longer need.

Real-World Use Cases in Wallington

Moving House in Wallington

Typical house moves in Wallington involve tight completion times and co-ordinating with agents and solicitors. We are used to working around these constraints and keeping communication clear on the day so you can focus on the keys and paperwork.

Office Relocation

For businesses, we can plan phased moves outside normal working hours, keeping downtime to a minimum. Desks, IT, files and stock are labelled and placed according to your floor plan so staff can get back to work quickly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up unexpectedly – a change in tenancy, a sale completing sooner than expected, or an urgent clearance. Where our schedule allows, we provide same-day or next-day removals in and around Wallington, giving you a reliable option when time is short.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal in Wallington cost?

The cost of a removal in Wallington depends on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, distance travelled, and whether you need packing and materials. Smaller flat moves might be charged on a set hourly rate, while full house or office moves are usually priced with a fixed quotation after a survey. Our quotes are transparent, showing labour, vehicles and any extras such as packing. Contact us with basic details and we will provide a clear estimate, then confirm a final price once we have completed a virtual or onsite survey.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Wallington, depending on existing bookings and crew availability. If you need a rapid move, call as early as possible with your addresses, access details, and a rough idea of what needs moving. We will confirm what is realistically achievable, provide an estimate, and prioritise essential items if time is limited. While advance booking is always preferable, we understand that circumstances change quickly and will do our best to accommodate short-notice requirements.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work on-site. During your quotation, we explain the policy limits, any exclusions (such as self-packed fragile items not boxed properly), and how to highlight high-value items that may need special attention. We take great care to avoid damage in the first place, but you have the reassurance that formal cover is in place should the unexpected happen.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service includes a survey, provision of the appropriate vehicle and crew, loading, secure transport, and unloading into your new property. We carefully protect and handle furniture and boxes, and place items in the rooms you specify. Optional extras include full or part packing services, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and disconnecting simple appliances by prior agreement. All inclusions and optional services are clearly listed in your written quote so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.

How is a professional removal company different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport and labour only, with limited protection, planning or insurance. As a professional removal company, we provide structured surveys, written quotes, fully insured vehicles, trained staff, and proper protective equipment. We are used to co‑ordinating complex moves, handling access issues, and moving fragile or bulky items safely. For anything more than a very small, simple move, using a professional remover usually results in a smoother day, fewer breakages, and a clearer understanding of responsibilities and costs.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

Ideally, you should book your removal as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you are planning to move at month-end, on a Friday, or during school holidays when demand is higher. Many customers confirm their booking 2–4 weeks in advance. That said, we often accommodate moves at shorter notice if our schedule allows. Once your date is confirmed, we complete any outstanding survey details, finalise your plan, and keep in touch so everything is clear well before moving day.
