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 Liverpool Street job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, City of London Corporation bay reality and any charges confirmed by message. No deposit, no doorstep re-quote.
We load, drive and carry it in
Communal stairs and half-landings carried by hand. Blankets, straps and a trolley come as standard, and the clock stops when the last item is inside.
Why us
Why Liverpool Street 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 Liverpool Street 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.
Stairs and conversions in Liverpool Street
Half-landings, tight returns and a sofa that has to come through a door built in 1890. We ask for the floor number and the stair type when you book, so the hourly estimate reflects the carry instead of surprising you at the end of it.

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 EC2 door is checked against City of London Corporation bay hours before the slot — a legal space is a shorter carry and a shorter bill.
- The Congestion Charge and ULEZ are quoted with the hourly rate and never appear as an extra at the end.
- Access here: Broadgate estate has its own access rules and booked bays; surrounding streets are red-route controlled.

Questions
Man with a van in Liverpool Street answered
A man with a van in Liverpool Street, EC2, is £45 an hour including VAT with a two-hour minimum for Liverpool Street (EC2) addresses, with 98% of homes here being flats — and 4,914 households on this patch, 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 streets near Broadgate Circle, with this being City of London Corporation territory. The rate is confirmed in writing before the van sets off on City of London bookings.
Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your EC2 collection address on EC2 jobs. 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 on this side of City of London — and 37% owner-occupation locally, with City of London parking rules in play.
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 Liverpool Street, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop around Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail), with 15% social-rented stock nearby.
Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across City of London and can usually get a van to Liverpool Street within a few hours for a single item or a small load in Liverpool Street, with 37% owner-occupation locally. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed on City of London bookings.
Constantly. Send the listing or the collection address with your EC2 delivery address and we quote a fixed £75 for a straightforward local pickup on the Liverpool Street rounds, with 48% of EC2 homes being privately rented. We can pay the seller on collection by prior arrangement on EC2 jobs, with this being a short walk from Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail), 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 EC2 jobs — and 48% of EC2 homes being privately rented, with City of London parking rules in play. For a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs on the Liverpool Street rounds.
We check City of London Corporation restriction hours and bay types for both addresses before your slot and tell you if a suspension is worth the fee on the streets near Broadgate Circle — and 51% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail). Where nothing legal is close, we agree the carry distance with you in advance so the hourly estimate is honest on City of London bookings, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
Yes — every street in EC2 and the rest of City of London for Liverpool Street (EC2) addresses. Local homes are 98% flats and access here means communal stairs and half-landings carried by hand, both of which we plan around before quoting an hourly job in Liverpool Street — and 51% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail).
