How it works
Three steps and a rate that holds
Send the load and both postcodes
A photo, a list or a marketplace link is enough. We size the van and decide whether your North Finchley job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Barnet bay reality and any charges confirmed by message. No deposit, no doorstep re-quote.
We load, drive and carry it in
Booked goods lift and loading bay, trolley all the way in. Blankets, straps and a trolley come as standard, and the clock stops when the last item is inside.
Why us
Why North Finchley books our vans and books them again
The hourly rate is the whole rate
£45 for one mover, £65 for two, VAT and fuel inside it. Nothing is added for blankets, straps, the trolley or the drive between your two North Finchley addresses.
Billed in half hours, not rounded up
After the two-hour minimum we charge in 30-minute blocks. A job that runs fifteen minutes over costs fifteen minutes, not a whole extra hour.
Drivers who lift, insured and DBS-checked
Every van carries goods-in-transit and public liability cover, and the driver is part of the crew rather than someone who watches you carry a sofa.
Lift and loading-bay slots in North Finchley blocks
Managed blocks want the goods lift booked and the bay reserved. Tell us the building at quote stage and we work to the slot, with floor protection and a trolley, so nothing is carried past a concierge who was not expecting us.

Hourly rates include VAT, fuel, blankets, straps, a trolley and the driver's lifting help. Charging starts when the crew arrives at your collection address and stops when the last item is inside — travel between the two addresses is inside the hourly rate, and Congestion Charge and ULEZ are quoted up front, never added afterwards. Two-hour minimum.
- Parking outside your N12 door is checked against London Borough of Barnet bay hours before the slot — a legal space is a shorter carry and a shorter bill.
- ULEZ is quoted with the hourly rate and never appears as an extra at the end.
- Access here: Mostly driveways; the high road has short loading bays and heavy bus traffic.

Questions
Man with a van in North Finchley answered
A man with a van in North Finchley, N12, is £45 an hour including VAT with a two-hour minimum for North Finchley (N12) addresses, with 63% of homes here being flats, or £65 an hour for two movers. A single item collection and delivery is £69 and a studio or 1-bed flat move starts at £220 on the North Finchley rounds, with Artsdepot a few streets away. The rate is confirmed in writing before the van sets off on Barnet bookings.
Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your N12 collection address on this side of Barnet. If the job takes two hours and ten minutes you pay for two and a half — we bill in 30-minute blocks after the minimum rather than rounding a whole hour in this 63% flats neighbourhood — and this being a short walk from Woodside Park (Northern), with Artsdepot a few streets away.
Yes. Lifting is the job, not an extra. One mover handles boxes, mattresses, flat-pack and most single items with a trolley; for a wardrobe, a sofa bed or anything going above the first floor in North Finchley, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop in this 63% flats neighbourhood — and 7% social-rented stock nearby, with 37% of North Finchley homes being houses.
Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Barnet and can usually get a van to North Finchley within a few hours for a single item or a small load on Barnet bookings — and Barnet parking rules in play, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed across N12.
Constantly. Send the listing or the collection address with your N12 delivery address and we quote a fixed £75 for a straightforward local pickup in North Finchley, with 63% of homes here being flats. We can pay the seller on collection by prior arrangement around Woodside Park (Northern), with Barnet parking rules in play, and the item is blanket-wrapped for the drive.
A Luton with a tail lift is standard: roughly the contents of a studio or a comfortable 1-bed — a double bed, a three-seater sofa, a fridge freezer, a washing machine, a wardrobe and around twenty boxes on the North Finchley rounds — and a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Barnet territory. For a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs on N12 jobs.
We check London Borough of Barnet restriction hours and bay types for both addresses before your slot and tell you if a suspension is worth the fee across N12 — and Barnet parking rules in play, with this being a short walk from Woodside Park (Northern). Where nothing legal is close, we agree the carry distance with you in advance so the hourly estimate is honest on the streets near Artsdepot, with 46% of N12 homes being privately rented.
Yes — every street in N12 and the rest of Barnet for North Finchley (N12) addresses. 2% flats and access here means booked goods lift and loading bay, trolley all the way in, both of which we plan around before quoting an hourly job in this 63% flats neighbourhood — and this being a short walk from Woodside Park (Northern), with 33% one-person households here.
