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 Welling job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Bexley bay reality and any charges confirmed by message. No deposit, no doorstep re-quote.
We load, drive and carry it in
Van on the driveway, tail lift straight to the door. Blankets, straps and a trolley come as standard, and the clock stops when the last item is inside.
Why us
Why Welling 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 Welling 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.
Driveway loading in Welling
Off-street parking is the cheapest van job in London: the tail lift goes down at your door, appliances go on the trolley, and a two-hour minimum genuinely covers a one-bed's worth of furniture.

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 DA16 door is checked against London Borough of Bexley 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: Driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays.

Questions
Man with a van in Welling answered
A man with a van in Welling, DA16, is £45 an hour including VAT with a two-hour minimum across DA16, with Bexley parking rules in play, 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 this side of Bexley, with 19% of homes here being flats. The rate is confirmed in writing before the van sets off on DA16 jobs.
Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your DA16 collection address on the streets near Danson Park and Danson House. 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 for Welling (DA16) addresses — and 19% of homes here being flats, with this being a short walk from Welling (Southeastern).
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 Welling, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop in this 19% flats neighbourhood, with 78% owner-occupation locally — and Bexley parking rules in play.
Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Bexley and can usually get a van to Welling within a few hours for a single item or a small load across DA16 — and this being London Borough of Bexley territory, with 6% social-rented stock nearby. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed around Welling (Southeastern).
Constantly. Send the listing or the collection address with your DA16 delivery address and we quote a fixed £75 for a straightforward local pickup on DA16 jobs, with 3,815 households on this patch. We can pay the seller on collection by prior arrangement on the streets near Danson Park and Danson House, with 16% of DA16 homes being privately rented, 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 around Welling (Southeastern) — and 6% social-rented stock nearby, with Danson Park and Danson House a few streets away. For a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs on DA16 jobs.
We check London Borough of Bexley restriction hours and bay types for both addresses before your slot and tell you if a suspension is worth the fee in Welling — and 81% of Welling homes being houses, with this being a short walk from Welling (Southeastern). Where nothing legal is close, we agree the carry distance with you in advance so the hourly estimate is honest for Welling (DA16) addresses, with 78% owner-occupation locally.
Yes — every street in DA16 and the rest of Bexley around Welling (Southeastern). 8% flats and access here means van on the driveway, tail lift straight to the door, both of which we plan around before quoting an hourly job on DA16 jobs — and 19% of homes here being flats, with 25% one-person households here.
