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 Moorgate 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
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 Moorgate 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 Moorgate 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 Moorgate 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 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: Congestion Charge, weekday loading windows before 10:00, and building managers who require insurance documents.

Questions
Man with a van in Moorgate answered
A man with a van in Moorgate, EC2, is £45 an hour including VAT with a two-hour minimum in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with City of London 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 City of London bookings, with 98% of homes here being flats. The rate is confirmed in writing before the van sets off in Moorgate.
Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your EC2 collection address on the streets near Finsbury Circus Gardens. 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 Moorgate (EC2) addresses — and this being City of London Corporation territory, with this being a short walk from Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line).
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 Moorgate, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop — and this being a short walk from Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line), 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 Moorgate within a few hours for a single item or a small load across EC2 — and City of London parking rules in play, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed around Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line).
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 City of London bookings, with 48% of EC2 homes being privately rented. We can pay the seller on collection by prior arrangement on the Moorgate rounds, with this being a short walk from Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line), 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 in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and 48% of EC2 homes being privately rented, with this being City of London Corporation territory. For a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs for Moorgate (EC2) addresses.
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 City of London bookings — and this being a short walk from Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line), with 4,914 households on this patch. Where nothing legal is close, we agree the carry distance with you in advance so the hourly estimate is honest in Moorgate, with 51% one-person households here.
Yes — every street in EC2 and the rest of City of London on this side of City of London. Local homes are 98% 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 across EC2, with 37% owner-occupation locally — and 51% one-person households here.
